What Is Happening with Web Components and Polymer
Recently it looks very slow in area of Web Components and Polymer. Do you think that there is still a future for it. Would you use it for your next big project that should last 5 or more years?
>Ok, but that's not tax avoidance because the companies are absolutely following government rules.

You're mixing up terms here. Tax avoidance is minimizing your tax bill within the law. Tax evasion is what you do when you pay less tax than your legal obligation.
If he is in the LA area, he is not far from San Diego. You can get there by bus, inexpensively, by taking local (commuter) buses instead of the Greyhound. I spent over 3 years homeless down there. Here is my blog about resources in San Diego county: http://sandiegohomelesssurvivalguide.blogspot.com/

The North County is cheaper and has more open land for stealthily camping.

I also do freelance writing and one of my newest blogs covers that. It is linked from that blog specifically, but here is the direct link: http://writepay.blogspot.com/

That doesn't mean that what worked for me in specific will work for him in specific, but it is a place to start.

If he is a veteran, he may also be entitled to free medical care and access to other military services, though I don't know how his conviction impacts that. I believe felons cannot get food stamps, so there may be a lot of things he cannot access until after things are completely cleared up legally. In the mean time, he can go to soup kitchens and the like for a meal.

My homeless blog takes the position that an individual's agency is incredibly important. A lot of charity is done in a really harmful manner. I am not the only person to have that idea. I recently tripped across a book titled "Toxic Charity." So I try like hell to blog about what a person can access without having to sell their soul, lose their dignity, give up their agency and so on. That limits what is available, but I think it preserves things that really matter.

Best of luck.
> The effort a corporation expends to avoid taxes, such as those under scrutiny in the matter at hand, are not at all homologous to electing to take a dependent exemption for an individual citizen. Reducing one's tax bill via deductions and elected credits is not the same as going to great lengths to create special structures that enable a corporation to avoid tax bills altogether.

You've said it's not the same. How is it different? Both ways of reducing tax burden are things that the laws permit, and that have been established as lawful from much precedent.

First of all - there is no such thing as decent lefse.

Back in Viking times, the nation state as we know it today didn't exist - but Norway was under Denmark between 1387 (methinks) and 1814, when we declared independence only to find ourselves handed over to the Swedes as war booty. Then in 1905 we told the Swedes where they could stuff their union. They promptly did.

It's a bullshit argument that exists because the US has allowed the industry to rebuild Bell System style telcos, unlike those anti-business socialists in places like South Korea.

Without a strong regulatory hand, the carriers' incentive in the US to to provide the highest return for the spectrum they've acquired. That extracting the highest revenue for the smallest capital investment -- means fewer towers optimized for coverage vs speed. Performance optimization requires more smaller facilities, which is capital intensive and appears wasteful from a Verizon/AT&T POV.
Goddamn that's scary that this man's exoneration depended on a chance viewing of Dateline...Props to you...my initial reaction to this post (I hadn't seen your other appeals to HN) were that this sounded too good to be true, but even the stories and accounts about Mr. Jennings that were pro-status-quo were alarmingly flimsy.

I don't have faith that the justice system will naturally get things right, but I do have a general faith that the bureaucracy and motivations of the system would prevent such a conviction from ever happening in the current day...e.g. DA's not wanting to screw up their conviction rate by bringing such a weak case to trial. My faith is pretty shaken now...if this is the kind of case that can make its way to a murder conviction and rejection of review by the state Supreme Court, it most definitely leaves me unsettled about all the kinds of cases that don't receive media attention.

I travel the world a lot and wars are the ugliest thing that could happen to a country.

I lived for 6 months in Damascus. It was an incredible city with lots of History. It breaks your heart to remember people younger than you that you know are dead now. The country is devastated and everything stops working.

You go to Servia, normal people could barely survive, long after the war. A few guys made themselves rich at the expense of normal people.

You go to Congo(old Zaire) and experience so much pain over the war there.

In Congo it is about Cobalt and coltan, diamonds, gold.
In Syria it is about strategic position, natural gas.
In Libia it is about energy resources.

A couple of powerful countries decide to plunder weak countries and war is the way they do it. If their leaders are not ok about plundering their own country you just give millions(or billions) of dollars in weapons to the opposition.

Once a war is started, it is like a drug, both sides needs weapons just for survival and they will do anything for getting them, basically selling their country for almost nothing.

A huge business at the expense of entire families dying and loosing everything they have, women being raped and the state collapsing, infrastructures destroyed.
Even sadder that they took it down.
Why would you say its looking slow? The announcements on google IO and other conferences were awesome.

There are lots of components released by users and big companies like General Electric. Google adopted polymer for youtube (including the "main" youtube.com - beta layout is polymer powered) - EA used it for battlefield 1 website, slack was looking for polymer experts. It looks very active to me on github. Just because it doesn't get the love it deserves here on HN it doesn't mean it is not used.

Web Components themselves as a standard are agreed on by vendors, it is a W3C standard, yes there is future for it.

What if the taxes are unethical?

Doesn't matter -- when the principals signed documents agreeing to incorporate, they simultaneously agreed to abide by the what the law says in regard to paying taxes due as the law requires. If they thought these laws were "unethical"... well, that was their chance to make a principled stand against them.

It's actually a rather logical set of steps, it follows the same pattern as elsewhere probably for the same underlying reasons.

Compiled once is easier to develop, prove correct and validate functionality. Just in time offers convenience in deferring compilation, but increases storage requirements and can decrease the initial runtime performance due to compiling the code. If you have spare cores this starts to make more sense. If you have a mechanism of profiling and automatically tuning the optimization of frequently used codepaths / infrequently used ones then JIT also starts to have payoffs (this is where human hours making a smarter compiler pay off across many applications that don't warrant the human hours optimizing directly).
Can you think mathematically? Do you know how to code? I would call that thinking and at least for me, that's not verbal. I can explain what I'm thinking but by default I just think without a need to have a voice in my head.
Congrats! That's awesome, and I'm really happy for you. You're a far outlier.
Well now you've significantly lowered the benefit of a UBI in our fully automated future. Before it was "if we don't do this then 90% of people will literally have no money and won't be able to live." You've changed it to "innovation among entertainers will be discouraged."

I think you might be able to get people on board to support the first justification. The second one is going to be a lot harder to sell.
Hopefully, but there need to be some pretty extensive human trials first.
I wonder if/how AWS data might be used to inform decisions Amazon makes about breaking into other markets.
From the sounds of it the man is former military and has been mistreated by the justice system. I presume his "record" will soon be clean.

We should find this man a job inside the criminal justice system. Would he consider working in a police department?
"If a terrorist organization wants secure communications, they will find a way to get them"

That's what people keep saying. Yet, remember that outreach has to be convenient, use wide-spread tech, and deal with the kind of idiots who blow themselves up for twisted interpretation of religion. ISIS isn't running exclusively on GPG infrastructure despite Snowden leaks showing it was about all that worked to stop surveillance. Instead, they're all over social media, regular messengers, and so on. Black markets are still mostly on ICQ & email. Recent terrorist had iPhones and burner phones (don't recall brand).

So, they can theoretically use nearly impenetrable, pain-in-the-ass stuff but are more likely to use what's convenient and popular. Make ultra-secure stuff convenient and popular for Muslims specifically will likely lead to large uptake among Muslims who are terrorists. It will make you a target for doing so as helping those criminals gets more attention, pressure, and even legal might than most.

"It has nothing to do with being Muslim."

Sure does. Prior comment and rest of this one assume the non-Muslim government profiles Muslims as terrorists, assumes specific countries with potential users aid terrorism, and/or assumes some Muslim countries will oppose encryption that threatens their rule. So, in Five Eyes and even some Muslim countries, the perception might be that Muslims seeking encryption cops and spies can't break means they're up to no good. That might be a problem for both supplier and any users if a surveillance dragnet exists. Less likely to be the case if they were, say, Arab Buddhists in a 15 person church that doesn't evangelize. No perceived threat there. ;)
In this case, VW claims they didn't know either, it was those pesky employees that put it in there "for some reason", and any evidence to the contrary probably does not exist anymore if there was any. So VW would be innocent in your case?
That's what I was thinking of, and to be honest, don't know much about it. Maybe there's a potential maintenance advantage, given fewer moving parts?
My standard advice to young people without a career and the unemployed is this: consider either a job at a small printing company, or be a craigslist "broker" using their advanced search features.

The first will get you into a high-tech career over time, and the second will be interesting to those who want to be self-employed.
Flat taxes address the wrong problem. It's easy enough for individuals and corporations to look up their tax in a table once gross income (or profit) is determined. The complication is determining what counts as income, and flat tax schemes don't do anything to address that complication, particularly for corporations.

Most corporate tax avoidance strategies take advantage of laws intended to prevent different countries from taxing the same dollar of profit, and those rules will still exist in any reasonable tax structure.

With the rise of new technology, machines, AI, what will be the impact on poverty, employment, income gap?

As far as I'm aware the complaint has not been made public. But unless you can point to a single piece of "formed" legislation for this, I'm certainly going to assume it is formless. Both because every trademark complaint I've seen has been formless, and it is impossible to disprove that a law exists in America, only the converse.

You succeeded in getting a lawyer to take on this case(okay, he was your father, but still.) Now try doing the same with getting a top notch PR person with experience getting television exposure.

1) Reach out to top PR consultants

2) Explain this story to them in a paragraph

3) Tell them you need their help in helping get his story out

4) Big part of getting his story out would involve pushing his gofundme page.
yeah, the folks over at reddit said the same thing. I have uploaded it to github and posted a link in the submission text
Success hides failure...every company does some things right and some things wrong, but when things are going well it can be very hard to get anyone to acknowledge the wrong things. People can always point to the profits and use that as evidence for staying the course, even on internal issues that don't directly relate to P&L.

IMO this is what ultimately kills successful companies- once they've conquered their market (whatever they see their market as being), it's all too easy to take success for granted and get too focused on internal politics. The absence of fierce external competition is the ultimate test of a company's internal culture.
Aside from certain pathological cases (gymnasts need to be short and thin, offensive linemen need to be freaky massive), the difference genetics makes is pretty small in the grand scheme of things compared to proper training and mindset. Definitely less than 10% of total performance (with the exact number depending on the specific sport). Of course, at the very top, 10% is often a bigger margin than between first and last place.

ConsenSysWeekly: Decentralised Storage on Web 3.0, the Impact of Brexit and More
The general idea here is that when you are part of a majority, it's alarmingly easy to accidentally set up your community in such a way that makes those from a minority feel less welcome. It's a potential unknown-unknown. I assume the Rust community is trying to find out if this is the case.

Put another way, your skin color, sexual orientation, gender, etc. likely will not change your contribution. But if it turns out that people of a particular skin color, sexual orientation, gender, etc. are somehow disincentivized from contributing, that's a problem.

Yes I am well versed in the new stories. The entire point is to move funds out of the country and avoid taxes. They aren't investing in Spain's tech future. They will use this money (stolen from the US people) illegally to: produce products overseas by proxy, perform HR functions by proxy, marketing by proxy, etc. All these products/services are then sold under the company and for more US profit.

- Company trying to strong-arm me into selling
- Not a troll/hoarder...I've been using this internationally for nearly 30 years

I really enjoyed seeing this, it's thought provoking and futuristic.

It does seem to emphasize efficient use of land area, though, and in the case of modern warehouses in North America, at least, I imagine the real estate itself is effectively cheaper than ever (because modern warehouses are built so big and so far away from everything, and because tax incentives often reward new construction) and only getting cheaper. It seems like an odd variable to optimize.

If real estate were at a premium, wouldn't we expect to see traditional warehouses, distribution centers, data centers etc in a multi-story format? But as far as I know, we don't. Instead, owners opt for giant footprints on cheap land.
