Tax is 100% a moral issue. Just as all laws are. There can be multiple legally correct answers because there are different circumstances, that's why we have courts, and not Judge Dredd.

You are preaching utopian idealism, but a high school ethics assignment of "stealing medicine to save your mum" undoes your "one set of rules to apply to everything" point.

They don't have to do any searching, the company will see to it [0] that law enforcement knows exactly where the workers are.

I know a good many people who work in Google - they're all smart and dedicated. But there's something about the corporate culture which imposes a "don't listen to external feedback" mindset.

It's your OS and they're your apps - you can do what you like with them. But don't be surprised when users stop trusting you to listen to their concerns.
No, if there are no expenses in the UK, then their UK revenue IS ALL profit.

If their US company is wearing all the expenses then they get a tax saving there.

They are trying to have their cake and eat it, and declare expenses in high tax regions and profit in low tax regions. Hence Ireland being popular.

It's not complicated unless you actively start trying to move money around to avoid tax, which is what they all do.

Ron Graham in interview once said something like:

If I draw a grid, 100 x 100, and crossed off
a square every day, I probably won't get to
cross them all off.

I've made it a habit to remember that every day, and to try to make sure that I'm working on stuff that matters, one way or another. It's all too easy to get caught up in the challenge of the moment, and not to take a step back and question whether this is the right thing to be doing.

There are times I do things that make me happy, because being happy and healthy are critical components in being able to do stuff that makes the world better, even if just by the tiniest amount. I'll never be a major player, or a recognised "world changer", but I do what I can to make it a little better for the people I meet.
I used to work at a big company's inhouse development. We had many developers coming from either consultancies or agencies.
The department and the developers would have been happy to cut out the middle man but policy dictated using the agencies.
In my opinion it has to do with the people making up the rules thinking of developers as interchangeable. So they want a contract with a firm, stating that this firm will provide a developer with skill X for duration Y.

Yes, the first couple of versions can be done like that.

But when you're going to maintain and develop further for a long time, the game changes. You need sustainability. The one developer may want to have a longer holiday. She may be run over by a bus or get cancer or have a child, so you want to have another person who knows how to develop. When the app becomes more complex and there are multiple platform versions to support, it will require more QA than one developer can do. You will want to have more than one person to work on it, and you need structures for that.
FWIW, CTOS was surprisingly unportable, which is hugely contradictory to the claimed advantages in this particular discussion.
I've currently got around 60 days to exercise some options with a company. But I have not been told how many shares there are out there or anything about the company finances so I have no way to judge how much they might be worth even in the best case.

In the end though the amount that I can buy is so low that even if they are worth 10x what I'm paying for them it is not worth the paperwork and trouble.
If it's business, it's business. There's a contract, with clauses agreed to by both parties on what happens if one party fails to live up to its end of the agreement. "Permission to fail", then, means "Permission to activate those clauses dispassionately, potentially terminate the relationship, and move on with life"; in short, professional distance. That is business.

If you can't afford to lose it, make backups. If you are going to throw chairs if you lose it, get therapy. If you demand five nines and a hand-holding number you can call over Christmas, pay for it, and don't be surprised when five nines isn't some magic security blanket.

In short, you get as much "Rally" as you pay for, and if you think you can buy someone else's emotions you're going to be taken for a lot of rides by a lot of people who are better stage performers than developers.
For people here that may ask themselves just how exactly one could test regular expressions, I recommend a visual tool like [0]. Having the regex structure and meaning drawn in front of you helps tremendously.

That, and for the love of God please comment any non-trivial regexp. Either like this, with 'x' option:

preg_match('/^
.* # Match any number of characters...
(?=.{6,}) # ... AND match at least 6 characters (lookahead) ...
(?=.*\d) # ... AND match one digit after any number of characters (lookahead) ...
(?=.*[a-zA-Z]) # ... AND match one letter after any number of characters (lookahead) ...
.* # ... AND allow any number of characters later.
$/x', $password);

... or just with normal programming language comments and stitching regexp from multiple strings in multiple lines. Also give some semantic meaning to groups if you use them, e.g. tag them with constants so that your code isn't full of stuff "result.get(3)", which makes you waste time on trying to recall what was that group 3 in the code from last month.

I know it's pretty much software engineering 101. It's the basics of basics. But from my experience, even the brightest of engineers in most serious projects suddenly forget how to write code when they touch regular expressions.

Fuck is this shit?

The idea (and I say this as an Englishman) that the English dominated Scotland, or that the Scots (and Welsh) didn't play an oversize role in empire is nuts.

The only people who seem to get excited about an England as distinct from the UK tend to be: Scottish, Irish, poor white racists (or all of the above).

The only part of the British Isles with legitimate grievance against England is Ireland.
If taxes and morality have nothing to do with each other, then the answer is simple: Everybody should avoid paying taxes.

But if we borrow a lesson from moral philosophy just to help us with that thought – Descartes universality principle might help us: If everybody (corps, and individuals) avoided tax, would our system still work? Would it be a system that encourages growth (a requirement for capitalist enterprise)? Would our governments revenue system completely dissolve? Thus our governments completely dissolve? Is "Taxes aren't a moral issue" equivalent to "I want pure free market anarchy"?

Great business idea: Create a corporation that represents employees, with offices in every country. It then signs your employment contract, pays you in a 0 income tax territory and does all the same funny money games Apple et al do.
It is such a shame, really. I live in the UK and my wife is Armenian. There have been many times where we would have liked to go to France, or Holland, or Germany, for a long weekend. Likely spending hundreds of pounds as tourists. Yet the absurd process and cost for her is just not worth it, so we don't go, and the tourism economy suffers. I will never understand how the visa nonsense got so out of control, and continues to do so. Truly one of the more illogical rules in existence.

--EDIT-- I will add that it wouldn't be so bad if we could go through the process once every couple years or so and get a multiple entry Shengen visa - but that would make too much sense and be too easy, so you need to provide the paperwork, pay the fee, and wait 2 to 4 weeks, every time for a single entry. Crazy bullshit.
Another variable I once saw was options (subject to board approval) in the offer letter and then several months later an approval of the options grant that had to be signed. In this second document, there was a clause saying they could fire the employee and take back the options à la Zynga, Skype, etc.

In that case, immediately discounting the value of my options by a quarter is reasonable since those kinds of terms being used for clawbacks is getting more common.

>it is in complete contradiction with the facts.

My statements are 100% aligned with the facts. Had the post stayed up people could have gotten in contact with Ian, he obviously knew dozens of people here. In fact, Ian specifically asked people to post to YC to bring attention to what he was going through. Then when someone did so, that post was removed, so the only attention Ian got instead was from twitter trolls who egged him on, rather than from the community he reached out to. If you don't see that as a failing you're being incredibly myopic.

>extension HN should from now on be renamed suicide watch and each and every twitter post about someone

Ad absurdum argument. Ian's posts weren't the attention seeking behavior of some high-school drama hound, this was clearly a legitimate meltdown by the founder of Debian, who was recently injured, someone who was a part of this community, not someone random as you suggest. That's why the post about his tweets was being upvoted -- people recognized there was a legitimate issue that needed attention. Then Dang intentionally removed the post, blinding everyone to what was happening simply because he didn't want people to "gawk." That's fairly reprehensible, in my opinion, and though I'm sure it wasn't intended that way, actions have consequences.

Not the poster upthread. But if you have enough memory (shared_buffers) and use unlogged tables, the effect is going to be that both reads and writes pretty much only hit memory, no disk. Without going through the trouble of moving tablespaces or anything.
Macintalk and narrator.device are both incarnations of SoftVoice's TTS, and descendants of SAM. Since they were both developed on contract, and both for M68k, I'd hazard the guess that the internal TTS engine is substantially the same, and that they both follow SAM's structure fairly closely (I know narrator.device does - it explicitly lets you set formant parameters that mirror SAMs pretty closely)

I do this for test scripts at work.

I'd add that airport security and passport controls are also deterring me from travelling. I have very little appetite for standing for 45min+ in a queue and when you travel international now, you do many of those (security, passports out, passports in and all again on the way back). I don't know if many are like me but I am limiting my travelling to the strict minimum because of that.

Even if building for Doom may look outdated, this article has very solid insight at the start about level design that can be applied to any physical game.

The idea to look at levels as works of art, and design them using the same principles is a nice one. This brings a lot of artsy theory baggage (regarding storytelling, layout and aesthetics). I hand't thought applying those to the assessment of a game level before, not explicitly.
I have no problem with reposts, I have problem with using shortcuts that nobody outside domain can possibly know, and then, using the same unexplained shortcut in repost.

Normal thing to do would be understand that not everybody knows what "FP" is (free pascal, floating point?) and use full term in "corrected" repost. Perhaps original post didn't get any attention because people don't care about floating points.

Shortcuts are usefull when you mentioned term 100 times and it's just annoying, but you don't mention FP in title 100 times did you? There should be ban on using shortcuts on HN titles until it is well known shortcut (CPU, RAM, MB, ...)

Title should have enough information that if you stop random stranger on the street, can he understand or guess what is it about? The first thing rubber duck (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging) would ask is: "what is FP?" and that means title is wrong and deserves zero comments.

Edit: another thing - title is only write once, but read hundred of thousands of times, you are literally wasting manhours here.

> But we had music piracy before 1mbps , only limited.

Quality has a quality all its own. Music piracy in the era of Old Napster (before they went legitimate) was terrible. Horrible mislabeled MP3s at a bitrate best described as "wax cylinder quality" with no album artwork or other extras buying a CD would provide. Plus, of course, you were stuck behind dial-up, and even poor-quality MP3s go at about a megabyte of data per minute of music, so you were looking at substantial download times over unreliable connections for anything approaching a full album.

It was wonderful only in that it worked at all, and that it had music record stores wouldn't touch, at least not if you were out in the boonies. It was one of the few pre-YouTube channels for obscure and out-of-print music. However, that didn't make it convenient in any absolute sense, and it was usually only high-quality compared to not having the music at all.

These days, with most torrent software, you can download a whole discography, in high-quality FLAC with full album images and so on, well-organized and correctly labeled, simply by copying-and-pasting a magnet link. Multiple megabyte downloads go by in seconds. The difference in the experiences is night and day.

The music industry got angry at Old Napster. They're being crushed by Bittorrent.
I think this is an excellent and thorough critique of Bostrom's Superintelligence, which I've found to be a frustrating and sometimes infuriating read. My impression of it is that the abstruseness of the language conceals very few basic ideas, often repeated and poorly organized; vague statements and a great amount of unexplored or underexplored possibilities. I am actually very surprised by all the praise it has received. I'll probably pick it up again and try to parse it a second time more carefully, but the first impression was definitely that of an emperor with no clothes.
It will probably make it more difficult to go to the country where she was born. This is a problem if she wants to go back quickly, for example when someone there is sick.

On a less advanced level than this, people find it very hard to publish expository work. Journals want papers with new results, not papers which explain known results in a way that lets people (students) understand them. I know from experience that there's a lot of demand for the latter, though!

I've started trying to write such things myself [1], because it's almost impossible to find fully-motivated proofs for anything more advanced than first-year undergraduate material. Mathematicians tend to the slick and short, rather than the comprehensible; I have met professors who think their job is done if they take thirty seconds to prove a result, and the student needs ten hours to understand it. This is one of the primary reasons why lectures, rather than textbooks, are still relevant: the lecturer gets a chance to explain rather than just to prove. [2]

Interestingly, in computer science where basic category theory has some traction, the Internet is full of exposition. Methinks there is something of a culture clash between the academics who created category theory, and the compscis who use it.
