> Countless multinational companies followed Apple by investing in Cork, and today the local economy is stronger than ever.

Is the local economy in Cork much better than the rest of Ireland? I tried to search data that supports the Apple’s statement and couldn’t find any.
Give them a month, publicize in the relevant places, and that's that. If a site gets caught out it's not the end of the world. If they have big money on the line then they can afford to have someone on staff that keeps up with this stuff.
You see, if there's no clear answer to where the value is created, then there's no clear answer to where the profits are taxed! So it kinda clips through the cracks. Whoops!

That's an issue vastly more complicated than "racism". No matter what "migration" you mean (intra-European or non-European), that's mostly Xenophobia, not racism. Furthermore, often times people have legitimate concerns, such as job losses and incompatible cultural norms, if anything I'd say that these legitimate concerns often get unfairly branded as "racism" just to silence them.

Finally, you're probably right that insults and intolerance of religions is common, although I don't see why that should be discouraged - after all, religion is a choice, and disliking it is just as valid as disliking e.g. neo-Nazis and white suprematists.
Not much, so far at least. This latest round of trouble over Apple in Ireland predates the Brexit vote. And of course the Republic of Ireland is not in the UK.
That's because BMW sells to a third party.

Apple doesn't. (or rarely does).

I totally get that Apple should pay more tax. However I also understand that it must not be pleasant to be caught between two hammers.

UE want them to pay more taxes to them because of this wrongful loophole...
USA want them to pay more taxes because of this wrongful loophole...

Maybe it's only common sense for Apple to wait that USA and UE define exactly what is actually the lawful taxes process that must replace this no longer existing loophole.

Also the very notion of retroactive "crimes" is usually not compatible with a healthy democracy. How can you be condamned for following instruction a sovereign state (Irland) gave you?
The answer to that question typically is: Because people flagged it, and possibly the many comments going back-and-forth look like a flamewar (which AFAIK also causes a lower scoring).

Also, there are already multiple discussions about the base topic, not sure if another one helps much... (which might be one reason people are flagging)
>Companies that, 10 years from now, will be so imperative to our survival and well-being that they will fit directly into the Maslow Hierarchy of Needs?

Can you name any?

no company invented sexual intimacy, or family, or achievement, or hunger.

cars arent on maslows hierarchy, does that mean the invention of the car wasnt innovative?

I dont see flight either, agriculture isnt there, drought resistant crops, eyeglasses, dental care, surgical advancements, pharmaceutical advancements, improvements in the safety and availability of water, accessibility of information, the personal computer, etc.

Before you make some argument about how pharmaceutical advancements would count as 'Health' under the 'Safety' section, then you need to show how facebook and instagram dont fall under friendship, self-esteem, confidence, respect of others, creativity, etc.

how is tinder not related to sexual intimacy? how is linked in not related to security of employment?

Yes, but are there any positive effects of police presence? Does this outweight the negative effects?

So seeing poorly targeted ads tells you that people are suffering? It is the role of corporations to inform you that there are people who have different needs than you?
Thanks for posting this. So it sounds like the main source of frustration is really just the state file? Is that accurate? I have heard this from someone else.

Also you mentioned that Terraform was better than the alternatives. Could I ask what other alternatives you looked at and why you ended up choosing Terraform over them?

The reason I ask is that I am also considering Terraform. However other providers also seem to support more than just AWS and are fast enough.
If they start putting fake dates on the certs then the nuclear option is the only option. They are in the business of selling trust and they're outright lying on their only product? That's untenable.

Appreciate the shill. Hadn't heard of intercooler, but looks very interesting. At our company we've recently been pondering whether to fully embrace the client heavy approach of frameworks like Angular - which we've found frustrating in many ways (mixing server and client templating, localization, duplicated validation logic etc). We've used PJAX in the past and this looks like a suitably modern replacement.
We should cut corporate income taxes to 0%, and increase income taxes on investors and highly-paid employees to make the change revenue neutral. This will eliminate the incentive to waste resources on corporate tax avoidance and allow businesses to focus on creating customer value.

I think they go hand in hand. When you step outside your, let's call it a solipsistic bubble, then you take a stance of questioning things, evaluating things, and investigating things. Most importantly that includes your own behaviors and responses. And that almost invariably naturally leads to a re-evaluation of one's "primitive" instincts such as vengeance and lust for violence. Now, certainly that's not always the case (as you point out), but I'd say it's more often the case than not. You claim those things are orthogonal, but to me it looks like they are highly (though not completely) correlated.
Hm. This seems right to me. Other people like trusting their intuitions. :)
I thought it was rather barefaced in the article that moments after crediting itself for lifting all those poor citizens of Cork out of poverty by giving them jobs (there's quite the "you should've seen the place before we came along, terrible, terrible" vibe to the first two paragraphs) it then goes on to deride the people it employs as being worthless by saying that of course virtually all the real value is created in California...

Sure, it's R&D is in California. But R&D is only 7% of its expenditure. The other 93% is necessary to bring in the revenue, so it very much part of the value.

I'm not saying those looking to fork Docker are wrong. I don't think that they are. But I think Docker's approach to Swarm is more useful than the roadmap that those organizations considering a fork wish to pursue.

Kubernetes, Mesos, etc. appear to be great orchestration tools for an organization with a few [or many] engineers dedicated to operations. Their not so great for a small team [or individuals] who are just trying to deploy some software.

As I see it, Swarm seeks to solve orchestration analogously to the way Docker seeks to solve containers. Before Docker, LXC was around and the Google's of the world had the engineer-years on staff to make containers work. Docker came along and improved deployment for the ordinary CRUD on Rails developer who just wants to go home at night without worrying about the pager going off.

To put it another way, it looks to me like the intent of Swarm is to provide container orchestration for people who don't run a data center. Like Docker, it is an improvement for those scaling up toward clusters not down from the cloud.

None of which is to say that moving fast with Swarm isn't a business strategy at Docker. There's a whole lotta' hole in the container market and part of that is because the other organizations currently supporting development of container orchestration tools has business interests at a much larger scale...Google doesn't see a business case for pushing Kubernetes toward the Gmail end of the ease of use spectrum.

The desire to fork is based on the needs of the cathedral not those in the bazaar.
I dunno, I've been reading the book Playing at the World [0], and while in the 1960s, wargames and miniatures were at the center of hobby gaming, it seems to have more of a small-but-passionate fanbase. There was one major company that went bankrupt, and lots of small, transient publishers, gaming groups, and fanzines, mostly going into and out of business after a couple of issues.

Wargames got so baroque, I find it hard to believe very many people playing the 60+ hour campaign of Terrible Swift Sword. Although probably thousands of people have played Pandemic: Legacy, which itself will look strange in 30 years.

Why do you think Apple set up a subsidiary in Ireland ?
Have you got any good info on the state aid laws? I've seen it mentioned in every news story on this and not one has the courtesy to explain it.

Judging from what you're saying though the law has always been in place and no new law has been created to enforce this decision - it's just an old law being interpreted to cover this scenario. Is that correct?

I had discussed this with some Deep Learning experts at the local University and they believed that FPGAs won't be as powerful as people seem to think since the many-many connections between blocks will not be up to the task.

In any event, Nerabus is a company (by the same guys as CodeThink) which is interested in running FPGA in the cloud: http://nerabus.com I'm not sure if they got off the ground with the idea or if they were too early or what.

Blazing Fast HTML: Elm vs. React vs. Angular vs. Ember
Exactly James. I don't live in a rural area, but I did grow up in a small town. You have to drive everywhere. Most people live in houses. I have a problem in general with taxing for change. It always benefits the large corporations and crushes the small businesses. Besides that, the three letter agencies have a horrible track record of catering to corrupt companies.
I understand. But IIRC the defaults aren't so open. Plus I would expect that a site like the one for a presidential candidate would get at least a minor review and a "hey you don't need any 'security' settings here".

Jet.com had a similar issue. I'm pretty sure CF customers are not getting sufficient info/onboarding.

I'm not entirely sure what you are referring to. You might be referring to the fact that the author's definition of big-O doesn't say anything about constant factors or asymptotics. This makes the definition incorrect, or at least sloppy. But judging by usage, it seems that he actually knows and is using the standard definition. The error is just in that one sentence, and it doesn't affect the rest of the argument.

You might also be objecting to the fact that he makes a distinction between time and instruction count, and is using big-O notation for both. I don't think there's anything nonstandard about making this distinction when it needs to be made. Take, for example, Karmarkar's algorithm:

For a while there was a car ad that used a clip from Meatloaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights", specifically the portion of the song which references the title.

For context, the song itself is about a man trapped in a loveless relationship after swearing to his girlfriend that he would love her to the end of time so that she'd come across in the car, leading to the titular paradise. Now, though, he's "praying for the end of time to hurry up and arrive, 'cause if I gotta spend another minute with you I don't think that I can survive".
Well this is specifically for high-crime neighborhoods. I would accept less privacy and more policing in high-crime neighborhoods because that reduces the incentives of crime as the perpetrator would be more likely to be caught. When you're talking about marginal benefit (crime rate from 2/100,000 -> 1/100,000), I would be less willing to give up liberties. There is some tipping point, and we can argue where that is, but I still believe in the value of old-fashioned policing to get us to an acceptable risk

Hopefully this will make a difference(at least in the EU).
TCO is. FGPAs have a fairly high initial outlay, and fairly high costs to program. In addition, they often lag behind CPUs both in density (except for hard IP blocks, but that's not what you're buying them for!) and in frequency. You have to be able to get a big win on parallel execution and avoiding control overhead to make them truly cost-effective.

Given that Google's already gone down the custom ASIC path for DNNs (and see Intel's recent acquisition of Nervana for $400m), and how much effort Nvidia is putting into making Pascal a great architecture for deep learning, I'm deeply skeptical of the wins from FPGAs in this space. The volume demands are too high: I suspect they'll fade out pretty quickly in favor of custom silicon.

Ruminations on D: An Interview with Walter Bright
> No matter what "migration" you mean (intra-European or non-European)

A little bit of everything. Here in Austria I see people raging against German immigrants (they're stealing our white-collar jobs!), against Hungarian immigrants (they're stealing our blue-collar jobs!), against Romanians (they're stealing our bicycles!); and everyone with the wrong skin colour is treated as second-class citizens (at best) just for the heck of it.

> Furthermore, often times people have legitimate concerns, such as job losses and incompatible cultural norms

That's what I meant with genuine policy problems. Sometimes it stays at that. But get some people drunk and they start raging about how "those fucking sand-niggers" are genetically inferior and "deserve" getting killed in wars "because the middle east is their fault anyway".

> after all, religion is a choice, and disliking it

Calling a random person a "fucking hook-nosed jew" because they don't want to lend you money is not criticizing the Jewish religion. It's racism.

There's certainly some merit to that argument.

That's a popular falsehood. It is a corporation's responsibility to fulfill the wishes of its shareholders. That doesn't even necessarily mean maximizing profits, and it certainly doesn't mean avoiding taxes to a degree that incurs both legal and reputational risk. If the shareholders want the company to act as a mature and respectable person would, then the corporation's duty is to do so.

We are having this debate because in practice some are taxed at 20% and others practically nil.

I'm arguing for no negotiated tax arrangements, indeed I have been giving thought to a progressive tax regime for companies. That would be interesting to evaluate.
