They do not have a source. This happens on HN constantly: someone shits on the article with no basis in reality and no source, and their comment gets voted to the top and dominates the discussion.
He also says in the video "I used to identify as black because I want to be on the winning team" and "If you're white, just stay away from black people"
It seems that one of the arguments the author is making is that that an employee’s cost of living isn’t what’s in play but the competitiveness of the employee’s compensation at that location. That your buying power is more in SF than in London, because a good amount of people just as talented in London would take a lower pay cut compared to SF, for example.
That seems to make sense, but I wonder why the opposite isn’t just as likely to happen, more employees ask for more, if companies paid more for remote workers
A single Member LLC in NY (aka SMLLC) is treated as a disregarded entity for tax purposes unless you elect to be taxed as a corporation.
"A single-member LLC (SMLLC) may choose to be taxed as a corporation, including an S corporation, or to be disregarded as an entity for federal income tax purposes.
If the SMLLC is disregarded and the single member is an individual, the SMLLC will be treated as a sole proprietorship for New York tax purposes... Sole proprietorships and partnerships are subject to the personal income tax law, rules, and regulations"
So i'm not aware of any benefit of forming in outside of NY if your "brick and mortar" location will be in New York, as you are still going to pay New York state Income tax.
