That's a BS argument. Starbucks will open restaurants there anyway because they want to sell coffee and make money. And if they don't, and there's demand, other coffee shops will.

IMO tax breaks like these are completely backwards most of the time. A huge corporation like Starbucks has entire departments dedicated to doing their taxes and finding loop holes to save money. The last thing they need is to pay less tax to begin with. If anybody is going to get a break, it should be small business owners.

The one place tax break incentives make sense are for large, one off things like a big manufacturing plant, where there will only be one (or just a few) of them, and getting it in your country or state is a big win. But there's really no reason I can see to incentive putting coffee shops on every other corner.

I'm really not. PogChamp is Gootecks, host of Cross-Counter and FG player. The meme is based on an ad they did for MadCatz Fight Sticks

"BibleThump" started out as meme involving an incident with streamer Spooky and FG player Wolfkrone.

http://36.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7921h1cU41qcriw6o1_1280.p...

BibleThump resembled Wolfkrone in that image so literally thousands of viewers started spamming it with the text "spooby pls" on Spooky's chat whenever something went wrong, or the stream was going to end.

That is why you'll often see people type "<topic> pls biblethump", eg.

Well... if you have, say, 80 people working for you, and you discover 15 are dead weight... cutting them would mean you can do your division's job with 65 people. You wouldn't have any room to argue for budget increase. That's a cynical view, but one I've seen played out a couple of times over the years in my travels.

No one knows. So in effect, how much is too much? Any amount."

The goal of corporate taxes is to collect revenue from profits when a foreign entity own the company. Taxing people only works when the owners live in your country. Worse, high personal tax rates can encourage wealthy people to leave your country either on paper or directly.

PS: If your corporate tax rate is zero, then your country is often better off discouraging foreign investment.

It's pretty easy to use venmo without giving them your banking information. That's how I've been using it for years. You just have to be willing to carry a balance. What I did is went to a coworker who has venmo and gave him $50 in cash, and in return he transferred $50 to my venmo.

That wouldn't work so well if you were always receiving money or always sending it, but if you have a pretty even mix then it works great.

We cannot doubt that we are daily ingesting thousands of substances that are far more dangerous than saccharin—but in amounts that are safe, because they are far below the various thresholds of toxicity. But at present there is hardly any substance except some common drugs, for which we actually know the threshold."

There was a pretty good long-form piece about Yahoo News in The Baffler a while back [1]. It was by Chris Lehmann, a former YN editor. Although one expects that there's going to be a certain amount of one-sidedness in an account by an employee that was let go, it makes a pretty compelling case that one of Yahoo's flagship properties was disastrously mismanaged. He's highly critical of Mayer: "When editorial knowledge is deployed to elevate advertising, it stops being either editorial, or knowledge; it’s hackery, sold out to the highest, or just the bare middling bidder. [...] Under Mayer’s leadership, the company has brought this ugly art form to sophisticated new heights — and in the process blown through all the basic rudiments of journalistic ethics." There's definitely some corroboration for that view point, BTW. [2]

And it wasn't just the way the firewall between editorial and advertising was dismantled by Mayer. He documents the atrocious working conditions, the extent to which the executives Mayer hired to manage YN had no idea what they were doing, YN's reliance on gimmicks to try to juice page views (which didn't even work), and the way the site's editorial mission seemed to shift from week to week. Lehmann tells a particularly hilarious story about a Yahoo exec trying to pitch a Crossfire-type blog where a rightwing blowhard and a leftwing blowhard would argue with each other. The exec really wants to hire Robert Novak, not realizing the guy had died two years ago.

Anyway, after reading this and then reading the OP...not surprising.

> In that future, it may not even be enough to have an EU-based subsidiary of a US company hold data within the EU, since it'll have been shown that the U.S. government can coerce them.

Wouldn't the other way round be more sensible, then? Make Microsoft be technically headquartered in the EU and have its main operations handled by a US subsidiary. Wouldn't that work?

(Not familiar with legal/financial/etc. reasons this would be a problem.)
That's why AGPL + Multi-licensing is so good idea.

If you have hangups against AGPL, you can pay money and get commercial license.
In this case, the U.S. isn't trying to get Microsoft to coerce their European subsidiary into handing over the data; it's trying to get Microsoft U.S. itself to hand over the data. The problem for Microsoft is that the parent company in the U.S. has direct access to the data, without having to involve any employees of the European subsidiary, even though the data is stored on European servers. Therefore the U.S. government's position is that a search warrant is valid and not extraterritorial: it's being served on a U.S. company, asking U.S.-based employees to turn over data they have direct access to.

Microsoft would be in a stronger position if the data on its EU servers were only accessible by employees of its European subsidiary. Then Microsoft's U.S. branch could respond to a search warrant by truthfully saying that they don't have that data, and the request must be redirected to its European subsidiary. But that would complicate its technical infrastructure, so it would rather not do that. However, if the case turns out adversely, that's one possible response. They could segregate access, so that credentials for access to EU-based data are only given to EU-based Microsoft employees.

They also charge a 3% fee on money sent using a credit card. Many of my friends just have a balance sitting in their Venmo account because they use it so often to pay for things from rent to groceries to splitting a bill at a restaurant. No idea of the metrics of how much can be made from the interest on those balances though.

I think services like Venmo are the way of the future, but there's something the minimalist in me really likes about the completely analog transfer of paper money. There's an app for everything and they all require mental overhead (the least of which is remembering which silly oft-nonsensical app name translates to the real-world thing you want it to do). I'm not a Luddite, but simplicity to me is not 100 different apps for 100 different everyday tasks they handle.
I think technologically we've come to an impasse for the reasons you've pointed out, but I suspect that the average user also has little demand for drives greater than 1 TB in capacity which might be just as big a factor. I'm not saying that an individual's combined storage requirements don't exceed that but rather than no one storage need requires drives with a greater capacity.

The "kill yourself" comment is the least inherently gendered one, you're right.

The thing is that it appeared on a blog about sexism, therefore it is sexist. If it appeared on a blog about homophobia, it would be homophobic. If it appeared on a a blog about racism, it would be racist.

You just ignored the other comments and the context and tried to say: "This one comment isn't inherently gendered therefore..."

CppCon 2015: Emacs as a C++ IDE
OP and speaker here. AMA.
Can you provide any actual examples of streets where the paths/lanes have been recently created or updated where its worse than before in the way of any of the examples you provided? Obviously there are issues, but I'm not familiar with the situation actually worsening anywhere, and some of the problems you mentioned are tradeoffs that mitigate other problems. (for example, yes sometimes pedestrians flow onto the bicycle lane, but I'd rather see risk between cyclists and pedestrians than cyclists and cars, parking separated cycling does create one issue but mitigates a bigger one).

On the whole it feels it's very sensibly done and some issues you mentioned I'm not familiar with at all (like crossings having only lights that apply to cars, unless they're super short crossings in relatively quiet streets where lights make no sense. Cyclists blocking traffic is something that happens less and less, too, little islands have been created for the front row, lines for the back row. On the contrary the new designs have improved this point over the past. Of course it's not perfect but specifically I'm not sure what proposals you have that'd be better).

Anyway specific streets/corners as examples would be helpful!

The failure of the EU is becoming more apparent each day.

They cannot even account for most of their own spending[1], so they should definitely NOT be given more power.

For the union to work the richer nations must accept lower standards of living which is completely wrong (unless you are one of the poorer states).

The migration issue is a welcome demonstration of the farce. Rules, such as the Schengen agreement, are broken unilaterally and the views of the people are ignored.

Jobs are pretty shitty, they get in the way doing any real work. If we can have a functional society where robots deal with all the manual labor, the owners of the robots get half the profits and the other half get spread uniformly amongst the populace, anybody who wants to work on things that demonstrably unprofitable like writing linux kernel, or teaching their children to read, or advanced math or analyzing adventure time for asinine thematic story telling, well, who knows what we might get done.

"What difference does it make if a German investor contributes capital to a U.S. business and as a result makes money that doesn't get taxed by the U.S.? (And could be taxed by Germany.)"

That business is still benefiting quite a bit from being in the US. They're employing workers that were educated by the US education system, they're sending goods and services on roads built and maintained in the US, and they're benefiting from police, fire, and emergency medical services provided in the US. Quit pretending that a company is an island.

"The U.S. government could perfectly well fund itself by taxing only the income of its residents, who are the ones benefiting from its sovereignty."

As I just pointed out, that's not true. The German investor is benefiting quite a bit from the services the US is providing to the business they're investing in.

"but only in a way (capital investment) that also directly benefits U.S. businesses and investors, which in turn will pay more salary, dividend, and capital gains taxes."

Not if all investors suddenly are overseas.

My point about drawing a line is that it needs to be defined (i.e. you can't use a broom with coefficient of friction greater than X (for example, I claim not scientific basis on this)). Having top teams indicate they don't like a change is a good signal to the governing body that sets rules but other teams will use the technology if it is better.

They can't just add a rule that says you can't use Brand X equipment - it has to declare limits on what the equipment is.
> "the biblical command to suppress and channel sexuality"

You're paraphrasing in a place where it's much more productive to be specific in what the Bible claims.

> "sexual expression is necessary to be spiritually healthy"

Again, source? I'm not sure I've heard this idea coming from any popular figures. In fact, the impression I get from modern mainstream observations is that spiritual health is a non-concern for most people.

If you didn't intend to make a claim about spiritual health, and instead mean the modern idea that "I should pursue whatever sexual impulses I have", then I would further argue that we haven't walked far enough along the arc of history to see the repercussions of that play out.

> do you still find the bible compelling?

Certainly. The Bible's position on sexuality is very comprehensive, without being completely descriptive. I'm just as wary of the "modern" (Aristotlean) idea that everything is good in moderation as I am of anyone attempting to limit Christian sexuality to the Victorian ideas represented in the article. The Bible cuts a line between the two that is both more relevant across centuries, and less concerned with creating a monoculture in marital relationships.
In theory, owning a controlling stake in the company is worth something beyond the price of an individual share, because it gives you the power to affect the outcome of the business.

Disclosure, I am a Drill committer.

If you are looking for an open source technology to meet this need, Apache Drill is a distributed SQL engine that can talk to multiple datasources and make them available in a single namespace. Joins across sources are supported and can actually perform well when you use enough nodes for your data volume.

Because Drill exposes ODBC and JDBC interfaces, it can very easily be used with BI tools to expose all kinds of data to analysts.

The architecture is fully pluggable so anyone can write a connector to a new datastore and just include it on the classpath when starting the cluster. In the current 1.2 release Drill can connect to any database that exposes JDBC, like MySQL, Postgres, Oracle, as well as a number of non-relational datastores like HDFS, MongoDB and HBase.
