Oh I just saw your reasoning

On these stuff accounting for those only results in worse scores so…

@Avery Also, why do you have your phone when you're doing exams?

Tim Stone

@Unionhawk Woo!

Unionhawk

I'm going to get a hefty direct deposit from the irs in like 2 weeks

Thanks to the idiots at AST who deducted tax greater than the total capital gain >_>

badp

2:03 PM

what they really mean is your purchase will give result in a revenue of 50$

VAT is on top.

You will actually spend some $53 or whatever

THEREFORE

since this is a website, and the business is the final customer of this purchase, IIRC this means they must pay VAT on the website

Nzall

@badp He's in Turkey, so it's assumed the taxes are included in the final price

badp

and given the 'merican definition of "cost" this must mean the "cost" must be less than $55

and the most realistic remaining option is $45

QED

Unionhawk

What are you going on about

badp

@Nzall FEEL FREE TO FALL FOR THE VERY OBVIOUS TRICK QUESTION

I KNOW TRICKERY WHEN I SEE SOME

THIS IS A TRAP

Nzall

Because you know, having to know taxation rules for 200 different countries and regions to solve a simple math problem is outside the scope of the class

badp

2:06 PM

all you need to know is that it exists, and it isn't part of "price"!

the text is obviously in English and using the US Dollar notation.

Unionhawk

It's not a trick question about the tyranny of American sales tax, it's an algebra question

Nzall

@badp or the Canadian dollars, or the Australian Dollarydooes

Tim Stone

@badp Yeah, isn't it great how we export our stupidity?

MWUAHAHAHAHAHMERICA

badp

@TimStone it's terriffic

the best stupidity

@Unionhawk multiplying by 1.06 also is algebra!

Tim Stone

It's actually tariffic because we export puns as part of the package

Nzall

2:08 PM

That's why a math exam should be in an invented currency, like Francs, or Guilders.

Tim Stone

/cc @Yuuki

badp

Francs are being used in Switzerland.

Nzall

@badp Marcs then

badp

also I thought VAT was a thing in virtually all countries.

Unionhawk

I mean the US has no federal sales tax, and I think there's at least one state with 0 sales tax

Nzall

2:09 PM

@badp it is, but the USA is one of the only western countries taht doesn't include it in retail prices, because every state has a separate sales tax

Tim Stone

@Unionhawk At least two

badp

@Nzall which doesn't make it any less dumb.

Tim Stone

Us and some other state

Making us the best states sunglasses

Unionhawk

@TimStone actually looks like 4

Tim Stone

Excellent

badp

2:10 PM

@Nzall Prices on Steam are the same across VAT borders, you just get a little more revenue in some countries and a little less revenue in other countries.

Unionhawk

You, Montana, New Hampshire, and Oregon

badp

Also

Nzall

@badp actually it makes it smarter, because it means that you can have the same packaging for every state without having to change the price for every state

Tim Stone

Ah ha, I couldn't remember if it was NH or Oregon and that was because it was both

Makes sense

badp

@Unionhawk since when is the US the benchmark for "stuff that reasonable countries do"

Jutschge

2:11 PM

@Nzall Francs are an invented currency? Great now I'm broke :(

Nzall

@Jutschge The old French and Belgium ones were

Unionhawk

SEE @BADP SALES TAX IS INCLUDED IN SOME AREAS OF THE US

Tim Stone

@badp We are the most reasonablest

Nzall

or at least, aren't used anymore

Avery

@Nzall It's not an exam, but me preparing for one

Unionhawk

2:11 PM

It just happens to be 0 in those areas

Avery

sales tax being paid by buyer is confusing

Tim Stone

I think the best defense of not including the tax in the price is that the tax can change

Avery

I blame @Wipqozn

Tim Stone

As if stores don't replace the mylars weekly anyway

badp

@TimStone in which case you get less revenue per purchase and life goes on?

and if you don't want that you just bump the price up.

Tim Stone

2:12 PM

I meant "best" in the "lol" sense, sorry :P

Unionhawk

There are some really dumb sales tax laws in some states though

Like, "clothing purchases greater than 175 are taxed at 6.25 otherwise 0" in Massachusetts apparently

Tim Stone

The soda tax

The soda tax is the dumbest tax

stares at Philly

Unionhawk

Or "restaurants will not charge you tax at all for carry out but will for dine in" in Ohio

Nzall

@Unionhawk Belgium has something weird like that as well. if your house was built before a certain year, you need to pay less VAT on energy saving renovations.

Tim Stone

@Unionhawk Wait really? Okay, that's definitely a tie

Unionhawk

2:15 PM

@TimStone yep

Yuuki

I wonder if there's an "alcohol purchases greater than $50 but less than $125 in the afternoon on Sundays are taxed at X rate, otherwise Y unless it's the fourth Monday of the month, in which case they tax you at Z rate" law.

Nzall

belgium.be/nl/huisvesting/bouwen_en_verbouwen/btw/…

Unionhawk

Something about "you're taxed on the service" or whatever

Tim Stone

That's just trolling

Unionhawk

It's dumb but negligible so meh

Nzall

2:19 PM

If the house is used to live in and not to work in, has been in use since at least 10 years ago, and the renovation is billed to the homeowner and the renovations you do are one of a long list of criteria, which include replacing the doorbell and sweeping the chimney, you only need to pay 6% rather than 21%

badp

@Unionhawk and even then you just charge an extra buck for dine in and be done with it.

there is no need to force regular people to do the math.

@Unionhawk so instead of tagging something 149.99 you tag it 159.99, and you leave the 199.99 tags alone.

Arperum

@BlueBarren Peppers don't combine all that good with cereal though.

badp

>>> 149.99*1.0625
159.364375

Unionhawk

@badp nobody does the math this is why NCR makes money

badp

works out pretty much perfectly

Nzall

2:22 PM

woohoo, Chrome finally broke something I wanted it to break

badp

all I'm saying is, those are solved problems

Nzall

Fox News articles that include video no longer autoplay the videos because they're flash

Kevin van der Velden

@Nzall that makes perfect sense actually. If it's that old they want to encourage renovations like that

Nzall

Before they were still playing the audio

Avery

@badp apple store turkey has a fix for that

their prices are mostly fixed

Nzall

2:23 PM

@KevinvanderVelden financien.belgium.be/nl/particulieren/woning/verbouwen

Unionhawk

@badp and I'm saying "meh"

So meh

Avery

its calculated at current usd price * try/usd rate +150

Kevin van der Velden

@Nzall that's not complicated

badp

@Unionhawk and I'm saying "you're weird stop being weird"

Nzall

Some of those renovations are a bit weird for allowing reduced tarrif on them

Unionhawk

2:23 PM

@badp we're way too far gone to stop

Avery

so even if the usd rate goes up, price stays fixed

Nzall

@KevinvanderVelden Have you read the list of what renovations matter and which doesn't?

badp

@Unionhawk you will come to a halt right now you criminal

Nzall

Like, installing a new kitchen is taxed at 6%, except for the appliances, which are taxed at 21%

badp

and when you go shopping in the netherlands things are at 21% except for food at 6%

I think

Kevin van der Velden

2:25 PM

@Nzall mostly sanitation, safety, a bunch of energy savings

Minus the Tingle part of course.

I'm sure there's at least hundreds of movies that accidentally match my description

Sterno

Don't regret the purchase though

@Sterno yeah I enjoyed it.

Honestly part of it is that I've been losing my cool at it quite a bit. Been pretty on edge lately, because reasons, so that's making my herp derps a lot more annoying. aka I'm going to play something more relaxing. Which is why I dicked around on Path of Exile this week.

Maybe I'll just order Horizon now

Unionhawk

@Wipqozn yeah, probably

Wipqozn

@Sterno Yeah it is. Was playing with abuddy on the other side of the country, so there's a 4 hour time difference, so can't play huge amounts. We're going to stop until the new season starts.

@Sterno We got to the end of act 2, and it was piss easy so far. I was a minion master, which could be part of it, because minions are super strong in this one. They just wreck everything. Even the bosses were dying in 1-2 minutes.

@TimStone This is why we should legalize marijuana.

Then drug dealers don't have bales of marijuana with which to smuggle nuclear weapons.

Trent Hawkins

Even stupider; let's say for the sake of argument they are hiding nukes in bales of marijuana (they're not). If they're going to the trouble of smuggling a nuke, they probably have enough cash to spring for a Narco-sub or ten. Ain't no wall stopping a sub.

The fallout in the coming war will be radioactive and pacifying

badp

> “Specifically imagine for a moment, Mr. Speaker, the scenario of Hezbollah, one of Iran's terrorist proxies, gaining possession of just two nuclear warheads and bringing them across the border into the United States concealed, say, in bales of marijuana,” he said, “then transporting them into the heart of two different, crowded, unnamed cities. Then calling and telling the White House exactly when and where the first one will be detonated, and then following through 60 seconds later.”

@murgatroid99 Pretty much, yes. For UI stuff where you might need to pack a huge number of arguments and half of them are optional, an object makes a lot more sense

murgatroid99

@PrivatePansy In that case, I would put just the optional arguments in an object, and if there are few enough required arguments, keep them separate

Then you have function(required_arg1, required_arg2, required_arg3, options_object)

Private Pansy

Mmmhmm. Anyway JS is usually quite flexible in terms of syntax. Just make sure you document it well!

if you have a function with 10 parameters, nobody can remember the order. But stuffing unrelated stuff into an object for this is also usually not a very good idea. The whole thing is also different if the language allows for optional, named parameters

Private Pansy

@MadScientist JS has no named parameters, unfortunately, and all arguments are technically speaking optional. ES6 adds default parameters.

If you do use an object, as long as it's not nested deeply it's useful to keep a default options object and merge the provided parameters object into that

In any case, I've hopefully completed this ticket after 3 days.

@Wipqozn I want to do a Witch but my first attempt was really low damage compared to my whirlwind guy so I gave up.

There are soooo many build guides out there that it's hard to pick out a good one

Particularly, a low budget one

Seems like most of the build guides assume you're boosting their gear with an alt

I recently started playing again

Created a fun Scion bow/spell build

Sterno

Oh, neat. They have solo/self-found leaderboards now

Too bad I don't understand the game well enough to know when I find a piece of gear that would be perfect for another build
