Reading the description of the events, it sounds like they intervened militarily after this event: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baku_pogrom , which sort of makes sense.


It "sort of makes sense" as much as the invasion of Ukraine does.



LaTeX does the same as Markdown and HTML - I used to do this when I was in academia.


Would this be avoided if the employee was kept on 1099 instead of switching to W-2?


Maybe, and he eludes a bit to the employee originally being 1099, but California has made 1099 all but extinct with AB-5


AB-5 added exemptions allowing more employees to be contractors to the pre-existing rule articulated, based on prior statute law, by the California Supreme Court.


right but you can also just wait for California to challenge the 1099 distinction

OP wanted to be an employer and "make jobs" for the sake of printing job numbers, rustbelt mentality.

if they had more employees, elsewhere, it wouldn't have happened, if they actually did have the relevant counsel it wouldn't have happened. but they aren't able to or willing to afford either. lesson learned. likely the wrong lesson learned.


Allude not elude.


Thanks, learned something new.


Or by having a third party, a temporary agency, actually employee the resident of another state.

Manpower is large and well known example of such an agency here in the USA.

Get legal and tax advice to see if this will work in your situation.


25% of more of your payroll is what the article said, so I wouldn’t assume so, but IANAL


1099 isn't payroll. It's paying a sub-contractor which is completely different.


It was not an ethnic Armenian majority before the first Karabakh war.


It was 90% Armenian in the 1920s; the Azerbaijan SSR promoted immigration of Azerbaijani in the region between then and the 1980s, but it never went below 75%.


Yes, which happened 30 years ago, so there's an entire generation that grew up with the borders we have today.

We don't want to go back to the borders of historic Armenia for the same reason we don't want to go back to the 1988 borders — it's history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenia#/media/File:Arshakuni_...


30 years ago isn't that long - there are still people alive in Azerbaijan who own property deeds for houses in Karabakh, and who were born and grew up there. At the time there were 684k displaced Azerbaijanis (UN number), most of which are still alive today.


There's been UN resolutions against Armenia, but that didn't result in anything.


For me the most important thing is to stay physically active.


Check out RedwoodJS


Thanks. First time I heard of RedwoodJS. I skimmed the home page, looks good so far. The only thing I feel unsure is the use of GraphQL. It seems to require some learning curve and I'm not sure why I need it over plain old Rest API.


I highly recommend Indistractable by Nir Eyal


Also "erlich blachman" and "erlich bachman"


Unrelated, but how does privacy.com work on purchase categories? Like I have a card which gives me more cash back for airline ticket purchases - will the info of transaction category be kept?


You generally don't use a credit card with them. You use a bank account. If they even offer a credit card option, their fees would need to be more than your points would be worth.
