Why does the IRS 990N epostcard website go down beginning of every year when most nonprofits have to file?

Wow that is rebrand is beautiful and thoughtful! 😍

In a small way, I fear that not saying "thank you!" to LLMs after they do some work for me (in light of knowledge that this is costly to the companies offering the service) is going to make me inadvertently express less gratitude to humans too.

😂😂😂😂

This doesn’t even include private nonprofit associations and listings that keep charging at you with semi legal looking filing requirements and fees. Pretending that those are necessary to maintain status.

California tries to make the life of nonprofits very hard with annual filing requirements. You have to file similar reports and pay fees for filing not just to the IRS, but to the Secretary of State, the Franchise Tax Board, and the Department of Justice all separately

This is so unnecessary and stupid you’d imagine this exists most because of broken communication systems or because of some nonprofit paper pusher mafia lobbyists who want job security. This probably does more harm in bringing down small nonprofits than catching fraud

You have to submit the same exact info to all these orgs. Different websites, different submission systems (many require post) and lots of silly fees.

The crazy part is all these entities individually have the power to destroy an org’s tax exempt status. And they harrass you with mailers to that effect. There is just no way to avoid falling behind and becoming delinquent and targeted by them.

My book's Arabic translation is out! Thank you, @Abegsorg!! (Although slightly bummed I didn't manage to include the transformers architecture—which became a basis for most of the LLM successes—in the book, since the draft was mostly written in 2018.)

Kaiser Permanente insures about 1 million people in the Sacramento area. That's about $7 billion+ in revenues per year just from premiums alone. 🤯 Does anyone analyze how much $ worth of care is actually provided/realized to how many people for just one mini region like this?

Dear @linakhanFTC, please consider FTC taking on Adobe's unchecked monopoly 🙏🏼 I have a 1-time licensed Adobe CS5 Suite (I NEVER shared the key), and because I choose not to cave into overpriced monthly subscription of their newest stuff, they don't allow me to use it anymore.

Everytime a conflict breaks out anywhere in the world : Syria ,Sudan , Congo , Mars they come back with the same stupid question : why do you only talk about Israel , why don’t you talk about this or that . So here it is again : the answer for your stupid question . Reposting this to remind them with their stupid arguments
