He could have been paying quarterly, or paid an estimated amount, and never got around to filing the return. I did the latter one year when I was super depressed.

Krispy Wafer posted:Hedge funds make a lot in fees. Carried interest is their share of whatever the hedge fund makes. Which can be really good, except since 2008 hedge funds are up about 22% whereas the S&P is up 85%. So it doesn't sound like most hedge fund managers are getting a lot of carried interest money. Sure, S&P returns would be better, but carried interest is also massively leveraged. Management fees are around 3% a year as I understand it, taxed as income, versus taking 20% of profits taxed as capital gains. It really matters how the 22% is spread over the decade though, because they don’t share in losses. (Other than reduced management fees because of a reduced NAV, of course.) The few hedgefolk I ran into when I was in VC emphasized carry when talking about comp, which they would do at the slightest provocation.

Krispy Wafer posted:And also probably laundering money because who keeps their money in a hedge fund that's returning 2% over a decade. They might just to have exposure to a different asset class as part of some family office’s strategy. Even pensions and endowments typically have some target percentage of the VC/PE/hedge sort of asset class, for reasons that I am not financially sophisticated enough to quite understand. It was helpful when raising a fund, though!

Guinness posted:Cell service for an Apple Watch (or similar) is entirely unnecessary. It pairs to your phone AND has WiFi, so as long as it is in range of either you get 100% of the functionality for no additional cost. How does it make calls over WiFi in the absence of your phone? Is it only FaceTime, or does it rely on the carrier supporting WiFi calling? (Mine doesn’t.)

Nocheez posted:My bad, I didn't expect to spark a huge outrage with my "all people should return their library books on time" opinion. Do you understand that poor people often have less time flexibility and worse transportation options than those better off? Returning a book is a very different thing when you can swing by in your car after your one 9-5 job than when you have to fit in an hour round trip between your shifts. It is a bad opinion, because it demands more of those with fewer resources in order for them to access a public service.

Well it’s even easier if the nanny does it because then you can just withhold the fines from her pay if the books are late. Plus penalties of course, to help her learn better.

therobit posted:What mechanism would you suggest to get people to return their library books? If you made me guess, the Netflix DVD model (N at a time, indefinite, free postal returns) plus gentle nagging. But the no-fine libraries that exist probably have better ideas. I’d add a PWYC annual fee for membership too, probably.

There’s a highish-end Toronto hotel that works that way since about 2009, but I don’t know how well it performs financially for the unit owners. Probably better than “buy a condo that is empty 90% of the time”, at least.
