If you can't read the article, read the summary at least before posting:

... casino manager Nicholas Weeks explained that it is possible to insert two receipts into TICO machines. That was a feature, not a bug, and allowed gamblers to redeem two receipts and be paid the aggregate amount. But a software glitch meant that the machines would return one of those tickets and allow it to be re-used

The important piece for residency is capital gains because these aren't associated with working any particular state.

Or the reverse. I just moved to FL and sold my CA house (in that order). I expect to pay CA income tax (*) on part of the proceeds from my house sale, despite living elsewhere.

* CA doesn't have special tax rates for capital gains -- it's all just regular income.

When you say their balance sheets, I understand that to mean in some cases the personal balance sheets of the board who have personally financed office real estate.

That's a possibility, but also the company's balance sheets. Writing down the value would negatively affect the company's P&L and since the CEO's compensation is often tied to the company's profits, that would negatively affect the CEO's income.

I recently moved from the SF Bay area to Florida to be close to family.

The roads are no better, in fact, probably worse.

The government doesn't perform its most basic service: protecting its citizens. DeSantis just signed a law that effectively removes any oversight of law enforcement, while simultaneously making it much more difficult to record police activities. The state just passed its version of the Vagrancy Act. Florida's solution to homelessness: let's hide them, or lock them up.

Meanwhile, you focus on a few books that no one cared about. Yes, definitely winning. Oh, and that porn was never legal on the shelves. Apparently you are OK with kids getting access to porn as long as it isn't gay porn.

As for the weather, it's not "warm", it's oppressively hot.

Unfortunately, this does not work for people doing government work who deal with classified information. That will always and forever require commuting to a secured facility

Many people with security clearances at national laboratories that work on highly classified projects work from home for 2-3 days per week.

Those CEOs knew this years ago. Many of them frequently worked from home long before the rest of us. Many of the companies those same CEOs run have large investments in offices on their balance sheets that they would prefer not to write off as stranded assets with no value.

The only change here is a CEO saying out loud the thing that everyone already knew.

but Google has no obligation to provide their product to you for free.

Maybe not, but if they can serve you video, they can serve you ads. If your ad-blocker is working then maybe Google should explain the details of what's so different about that stream. Is it running a crypto miner, for example?

I agree that they're free to do this, but my ad-blockers are active for security purposes, and I am free to do that.
