Probably referring to a section 179 deduction which gives you a $25k deduction on your taxable income for vehicles that weigh more than 6000lbs.


https://www.tesla.com/support/incentives

> Qualifying businesses can claim a deduction of up to $28,900 when purchasing a new Tesla vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of at least 6,000 pounds. To qualify for the tax deduction, vehicles must be operated for legitimate business use >50% the time.


Why are we incentivizing huge vehicles, sigh =/


We’re incentivizing business capital investments. Certainly, it’s not always efficient (Hummers that used this tax treatment), but that is the intent. It would be more optimal if trucks didn’t keep getting bigger, but trucks are still needed for work purposes.


Then why not just incentivize work vehicles, be they large trucks or electric sedans?


The reason was to avoid tax advantaging sports cars or luxury sedans for executives. At the time SUVs were utilitarian and unfashionable so dividing by weight seemed an easy way to distinguish between "real" work vehicles and "fake" work vehicles.

Of course it backfired so now 6500 pound SUVs (and even luxury sedans!) are easily acquired.


Because that is not the criteria codified in statute.


Seems like a tautology


That’s called incentivizing large vehicles



Brb, about to start “Get a Free Truck, LLC.”

Wow.


Not free. Just subtracted from income for purposes of calculating tax.


We use Google Meet, which offers a live + stream feature for large groups. Most folks join the stream over the live meet. But within an ~hour after the all hands it's available directly in the calendar invite to rewatch.

It seems like a solved problem?

Generally tokenization is done by some vault or processor. I don't know how Amazon operates internally, due to their scale means it's probably all in house. But Visa does have token representations and they do also have visa account updater (which keeps visa/merchants in sync for saved instruments .. e.g. Netflix). I've never seen the token implemented, generally just some vault (Braintree, Spreedly, etc). And if you are typing in a 15/16 digit number it's likely being vaulted/tokenized but not by the issuer but by the merchant/processor.


I took this approach many years ago to get them into a pdf. Was able to with minimal headache iirc.


About the same as a bluth banana.

Generally $3-$5.


Haha! I know I know. As far as supermarket breads go I like the fluffy Artesano ones.


Writing modern php 7.2+ and creating a WordPress plugin is akin to time traveling. The experience in WordPress is not so great but they have a commitment to backwards compatibility. So I get it. But ya, I agree with this statement.
