This issue occurs across all careers, not just programmers. A friend of mine is an accountant and he has had the same issues. What he has learned is to just move on to another employer. It's not worth the heartache and permanent hair loss to stick around.

Total paranoia is perfect awareness.

Perhaps you know something about browser fingerprinting that I don't...

I recently read a book about forming nonprofits. It creates a lot of trouble for a nonprofit to accept money for services instead of as a donation. It may be that it wasn't worth the trouble to accept your donation or even they didn't know how. A better method may have been to find developers who voluntarily and substantially contribute to the projects and have them invoice your company as they would not be subject the regulations, so long as they are not on the board of the nonprofit.

2001: A Space Odyssey, Star Wars: Episode IV, The Godfather, and many other films from the late 60s and 70s. The film industry was going through a transition where it needed to expand, so it started taking risks, which included creating the parental ratings system and more experimental films. I find it somewhat ironic that they don't seem to be willing to do a 'sequel' to that more experimental, and ultimately successful, period.

A.K.A latent heat.

The Roku 3 supports FAT16, FAT32, NTFS and HFS+ drive formats. My guess is that your other devices only support FAT32? That would make the maximum volume size 2 TB for FAT32, IIRC. Assuming full implementation of NTFS and HFS+, your drive should work. I'd check with Roku first, though. Also, I have no trust of USB standards implementation, so I always use external power on something like hard drives, and I swap out the wall warts every 5 years or so (lost the greatest phone ever made to a bad wall wart).

To the A.C. troll below, I would say that, yes, there are additional products to accomplish the same purpose, but the Roku is best device of all those devices. Given Roku's business model of not requiring to get between content providers and viewers, and their excellent record of updating firmware for old devices, I expect that the Roku is the best value for some time to come.

The Constitution was not written with words and phrases having only the meaning stated in the dictionary. The Constitution is a governing document very similar to a power of attorney, and the phrases and terms used should first be considered from what the ratifiers considered them to mean. Another example is the Congressional power to "declare war". If we just look at the dictionary definitions of "declare", then we will not find what was meant by the phrase. However, if we review the ratification debates, then we find out exactly what the term meant to the ratifiers, and such is also the case with the commerce clause.

Think of that word 'regulate' to mean 'make regular' instead of the modern definition of 'control every aspect'. Congress is authorized to fix issues like not being allowed to purchase health insurance from a provider outside of one's own state of residence. Congress is not authorized to redefine state tax laws, except in very specific cases.

I drove to Target just to get some dinner plates. They were out of stock - not a single plate on the shelf. While walking out of the store I ordered some off of Amazon. They arrived 2 days later on my doorstep.

The states can collect the taxes from entities within their jurisdiction. My understanding is that this bill requires entities outside a given state's jurisdiction to collect the taxes. That is unconstitutional.

The Constitution was written to preserve a republic, not the environment.

The Constitution does not grant Congress the power to regulate state level taxation, to force one to pay taxes in another state, or to collect the taxes on behalf of another state..

The issues that most complain about regarding income taxes are the methods of collection and enforcement. For example, the 5th amendment is supposed to protect us from self-incrimination, but a tax filing is self-incrimination. The IRS has its own tax courts, which do not follow due process. The right to assistance of counsel in defense has been turned into a joke because they seize the means to provide that counsel, then give a public defender who knows next to nothing.

Amazon supports this bill. They understand that closing off the opportunity for a company to grow on avoiding stat sales taxes is in their best interest because they know better than anyone how successful that model is.
