General AI is just a meme science that has literally seen no real progress in 50 years.

Machine learning is only a threat to specialized tasks that aren't broadly critical and don't require any real dynamism.

no

>>1242160
Yes. Everything you see to the contrary is just smoke and mirrors and marketing ploys. Hard AI is just a pipe dream at this point.

>Once you buy a share, how long can you hold onto it? Would tax fuck me over?

hold it as long as you like, so long as you own it outright not buying it on margin with interest payments to make then no reason why you can't own if for as long as the company or and successor company still exists

tax is due on any gains when you sell it and any dividend income you receive

further to this my Nana had a bunch of shares, she held the physical certificates in her house and had held some of them for decades, they'd send her cheques in the post. We had to mail them to a broker to liquidate.

Depends on your trading habits, really.
Hands on to the max? Fuck around with options and short positions? You'll probably like Optionshouse and their low af fees.
Let professionals invest for me? Hold stuff long with the convenience of having my brokerage and checking/ savings in the same bank? Probably Fidelity despite it high minimums and commissions. Just compare the two and decide what fits you best.

if i wanted to ever consider options, id pick optionhouse. but i dont, so i stick with vanguard and schwab. schwab is only for 401k though, admittedly didnt have a choice in broker

>>1241892
>>1241894
I'm definitely going to use Optionhouse, I was just wondering if there was any advantage/disadvantage to opening a Fidelity brokerage account as well.

>could you guys give me any tips or advice when going through an interview for a financial institution like a bank?

Emphasis on how selling/service skills from your previous jobs will apply to the current position.

>Also what should I expect out of being a banker?

Sales. Growing deposits/loans and making referrals to partners.

>>1241813
What bank? Every banker position ive looked at requires at least a year in a fin institution.

I would've asked for 20k of something reasonable/crazy but then again, I know very little on how credit ratings are determined.

Ask for 10K

I did that with 35k income and a good credit score, that following year they auto-upped it to 16k

Why the fuck do you care about the interest rate on your credit cards? I don't even know the interest rate on any of mine.

you and 5 billion other people

there's plenty. but they won't fall into your lap just like that. you need some skills, and to put in some effort and leg work. plenty of people make 1k a month without much trouble working as writers, designers, artists, voice actors, seo dudes, social media managers, etc.

>>1241794
Do you have tits? If so, then camgirl your way to depression and an early grave... But you'll make more than 350 a month.

Ofc, it depends on their size and quality.

and how the fuck is it /biz/ related?

>>1241777
I'd say it depends on whose idea it was to go

>>1241773
pls respond

Depends on the contract, how you leave the company, and where you go to work after.

I've heard that the courts don't favor them very much and they are mostly used to stop competing companies from stealing employees

You should get a lawyer and let him read it and explain your situation instead of a Tibetan illumination hentai skype group

Depends where you live. Non-competes are illegal in California for instance.

>>1241566
Obviously you just declare a plausible amount of tips and pocket the rest.

>>1241566
What the fuck?
First you can't fill out your W4 now you want us to help you with your tip moral dilemma.

Stop creating new threads! This board is slow.

>>1241593
What is a plausable amount? Should I declare 80% of the tips? If I make 50 dollars a day in tips, claim like 40 of it? And pocket the 10? What do you think? And when you say pocket the 10, does that mean 40 dollars in 1 pocket and 10 in the other? Do I claim every night? Or how often do I have to tell them how much I made? What if they tell me im lieing etc

When you have private healthcare, no public transportation, have never even seen a cop on your road, don't know where the nearest fire department is, and your road is made of dirt, its even worse. It'd be one thing if there was a bus to take to work, but when a third of my income goes to a "road", I feel like the price of civilization is a bit too high.

>>1241497

how much of that 1k is based on government provided platforms?

>>1241522
private healthcare, privatized
public transport, privatized
cops, not your personal army
fire? huuh do you have the money for the approach?
and the roads are on their way getting shitty, gov will repair it, and thaaan -privatized-

None, my parents are in their 40s and my grandparents are still alive.

I have 5 siblings so it won't be much anyways. Glad I make a good living.

>>1241450
Parents are in their sixties and have a couple of villas in Algerianistan. I have 4 other siblings so I will get maybe one.

Thank god he didn't scam me.
Just need advice and tips. You don't have to do shit.

Calm down, this is a slow board.

It really doesn't matter what you claim, your effective taxrate is the same. Look up "2016 tax tables" to find your taxrate. Compare the percentage to what is currently being withheld from each check. Adjust your withholdings accordingly

>>1241424
Thanks for the response. I looked it up and was completely and utterly confused. I am kinda retarded though unfortunately...

What tax bracket are you in?

Let's say 20%. If that's the case, then you can knock a dollar off your taxes for every $5 that you donate until you've reduced your taxable income to a lower bracket.

In any case, it's not possible to save money by donating to charity versus just paying the taxes.

>>1241325
You should be contributing to a 401(k) and IRA instead since it actually reduces your tax obligations and lets you keep your money for a later date.

You only pay more taxes on the income that exceeds your tax bracket so giving money away won't save you any cent just the opposite.

It works if it is "charity" and if you somehow profit from it which I am sure isn't the case.
You wanna evade taxes but don't even understand something as simple as that.

For any normal person there isn't a legal way of avoiding taxes
