@GustavinoBevilacqua Incredibilmente si, eccetto l'occasionale pellegrino, ma d'inverno non sono molti.
La gente qui si fida poco ad andare a casa degli altri, anche degli amici.
C'è un gruppo di senzatetto, per lo più eroinomani. Sono molto simpatici e ci ho fatto amicizia, tuttavia da quello che ho visto cibo già se lo procurano in altri modi e cercano solo qualche soldo per l'eroina.
Starci a parlare è molto triste, sono quattro poveretti e pure si mettono a litigare e derubarsi tra di loro.

This looks extremely strange to me, how can you just make up a social security number? When you go to pay taxes it would be clear such number is not associated with anyone.
I guess you may impersonate someone else who is American, in that case you'd use his SSN and pay taxes for him; this only works unless that guy decides to start working and in this case taxes are not forfeit as that guy will receive social security benefits. Taxes will be forfeit if this American is dead but his death was not declared; but I can't believe this is very common.

What I don't understand is why would they go through all these complications to pay taxes, you could just work illegally at that point and pay no taxes. I guess the only point for paying taxes is getting a job with a contract; but that's pretty much useless to you since the contract would be invalid. I guess you'd only do this if you cannot find a job without a contract or if jobs with the contract pay considerably more.

Sure, they'll be paying VAT, but that's not really what we think about when we're talking about taxes.

What I'm asking to @QasimRashid is basically this: I know nothing about these things but something seems off.
How do you know these things and how does it make sense?

@QasimRashid Not that I really care about any of this, but your third point doesn't really make sense, nor prove anything.
A bunch of people together pay more taxes than one man... either you provide an income comparison or that single information is pretty much meaningless.

Frankly I'm a bit confused: I'm not American so I really don't know how this works.
How can undocumented immigrants pay taxes? I would imagine that since they have no documents they would not be allowed to pay taxes to the government.
Are you referring to VAT or is it actually possible for people that are not allowed to be there to pay taxes? Why would they even pay the taxes?

Cos'hanno in comune un agnostico Italiano ed un Cattolico Gambiano?
Molte cose, ma soprattutto che a Natale cucinano abbastanza da sfamare un paese ed ora dannazione abbiamo il frigo pieno di roba da far fuori...

@tlalexander This is basically what most northern Italians used to eat for most of their lives in the past.

Don't change your keyboard configuration and mouse configuration at the same time

The CERN made a very cool software and decided to call it root.
> You need root privileges to run root

Never thought about doing this, this makes git much simpler to use!

12 days left to apply to CACHE challenge #3. Applying should not take more than an hour.

Use your computational method to select/design 100 ligands for SARS-CoV-2 NSP3. We will buy them, test them experimentally and publicly release the data.

Many ligands are in the PDB for this challenge open to ligand-based and receptor-based methods.

@cowfortunes Everything was so beautiful back when you could say that if it explodes it's chemistry...

Ragioniere, concordo con lei: bere acqua è altamente genotossico, molto meglio gustarsi un buon bicchiere di chianti!

Cara se carichi su youtube le tue trasmissioni, abbi la gentilezza di caricare l'intera trasmissione assieme dall'inizio alla fine; non divisa in 20 parti con un intervento per video.
È impossibile seguire una dannata discussione così dovendo aprire 20 video diversi prima di azzeccare l'ordine corretto!

Qualcuno ha esperienze di collaborazione con gli istituti italiani di Cultura?
Vorrei organizzare degli eventi a Santiago e non so se magari sarebbe possibile ricevere un supporto.

I wish to use a database to store my experimental results, since I plan to obtain A LOT of data points and the good old csv table doesn't appear as a good solution anymore.

How would I go about making the structure of the database? Do you have any advise for this kind of things?
I will often have to change procedures according to the results I get, thus I would need to be able to understand what was the procedure used for each results and easily see which ones are the most recent and up to date.
