I wonder if the international issues could be overcome with the concept of "franked dividends" that exist in Australia where the corporation pays taxes on the dividends, but these provide a tax credit for Australian taxes, which foreign investors can't really make use of. I'm not sure if they are, but theoretically there could be tax treaties where these credits are respected internationally.

But they can reinvest 'profits' today, for free, by running internal R&D programs, acquisitions, sponsoring a charity and investing in its staff, all of which are deducted from revenue as costs of running-a-company before calculation of taxable profit. Look at Amazon as a famous example which grew enormously year-on-year by reinvesting and thus generating zero profit.

'Profit' is primarily a signalling mechanism to indicate to the market as a whole, and potential investors in particular, that a company is 'successful'; it has so much revenue and such low costs that it can't find a way to spend the money . But it's basically a waste as that money could be achieving something for the company or its staff. Thus Governments punish companies by taking a slice of that profit as a way of saying 'if you don't use the money productively, we will'.

Which is a very generous form of taxation compared that to personal income taxation, which comes out of gross revenue before the costs of being-a-person have been met.

About 5 years ago, I had created a bunch of screencasts around OpenGL. I recently (Nov 1st) finally started recording screencasts again.

I'm making super short daily screencasts now called ProgrammingTIL (~1-8 minutes), currently covering React, WebGL, ImmutableJS, Algorithms (CLRS), and Webpack.

So far, I've done ~40 new videos. You can check them out here:

Eventually, I'd like to sell some full courses for complete projects as well- not just teaching different small things.

Show HN: Emacs Version Managing Tool
evt(https://github.com/argentum47/everm) is a version managing tool. It lets you have multiple versions of emacs at the same time.

It is in very alpha stage,not that it breaks something, but building emacs on different distro normally is hard, because build breaks for reasons I don't know.

Which is one of the problems. The second problem being getting the users to get the build tools before installing emacs via evt.

I have covered for fedora and debian and macos. But there must be a better solution than a script for each distro.

The key is to ask what portion of ones income is from investments. Or simply the ability to quit working and live on the investment income. For most of the middle class, their investments are hoped to fund their retirement, not any portion of their current lifestyle. That's why it doesn't matter that so much is in tax deferred retirement accounts.

> Doesn't seem unreasonable considering how violent they can sometimes get.

So why are fascists allowed basically everything, the cops beat peaceful hippies up and meanwhile the ordinary left-wing activist mustn't even wear tooth protection (classified as "Schutzbewaffnung")? Seeing that multiple people got teeth knocked out during clashes with the police at the recent "Merkel muss weg" fascist march, it's ridiculous that the citizens are commanded to be defensiveless sheeps while the cops abuse them as training ground.

> Ignoring the fact that the law is 30 years old: Disarming by not allowing to hide your face?

They disarmed the citizens in multiple ways. When combining all that happened (beginning with the Radikalenerlass decades ago), there forms a clear picture: the government has a deep-rooted fear of left-wing people, while secretly funding/supporting right-wing terrorists that have killed over 200 people in the last decades.

https://hackclub.com - High school coding clubs

When I was in high school I started a coding club because I really really wanted the environment and culture I found on Hacker News, but in person.

That club had such a profound effect on me, I wanted to make it easier for other high schoolers to create communities of hackers. Hence, I started working on Hack Club :-).
But why?

If one can prove that a party premeditated and willfully went against the terms of the contract in order to deceive the other party and profited from this deceit while also breaking laws, what is the legal reasoning behind calling it a breach instead of fraud?
That's just an excuse. Germany and UK have much higher populations and manage to achieve similar results. The "more homogeneous" argument is weird to me. Most immigrants that I've dealt with are more inline with the European mentality (regardless of their country of origin) than US natives. Are you saying the problem is with the locals?

To be fair Russia was doing pretty well around 2005/2010 , so much that people from Europe were actually moving for work and investing heavily in Russia. The confrontation against US an Europe and oil prices tanking made the situation difficult again. But no one wants to go back to USSR, aside from a few nostalgic politicians.
I clicked through the link. Where are the examples of HN democrats "lobbying against secured voting machines and paper ballots"? I see HN users decrying Trump's vague self-serving complaints, but nothing against secure voting. Just because I hate sloppy programmers who blindly say that a program is probably going to crash because that's what programs "just do" but it doesn't mean I'm against testing or error handling.

I would guess most people live in populated areas where you can't just dig a hole without a permission from a municipal board of construction or some such governing body.
> that the community is failing to give the people joining it the tools they need to succeed

I don't understand this. The tools are out there and available to everyone. It's education and getting skills. The rest is luck. If you want to create a product, you need to have the skills to do so.

Sometimes, it feels like people expect entrepreneurship or making money from a project to actually be easy. It's more like the NBA:

You either bring the skills, get lucky, and start early enough or it's not for you.

But the OP clearly fell for an easy money scheme. Somewhere in her blog she even writes about the absurdity:

"So how do you make money if you can't or don't want to make a project on your own?" -> This is so utterly silly, it hurts.
> I don't think "Parable of the broken window" captures the essence of our economy, it only mentions the handyman receiving 6 francs, and not him paying his suppliers, them paying their suppliers and so on, his tools, his rent, his taxes, etc.

That isn't actually a multiplier. When the handyman is paying other people it means he isn't actually making $6. He receives $6 but then the tax man takes $2, the window costs $1, various other things cost another $2 and the handyman only keeps $1. No matter how you slice it the grand total has to be $6.

But you don't want a multiplier here anyway, because it's $6 of waste. If the $6 somehow turned into $100 then it would be that much worse.
Call center drones are indeed knowledge workers, and they're one of the most ideal kinds -- completely deskilled, completely fungible. An inefficient call center could potentially have a smaller crew of highly educated and trained staff creatively diagnosing and solving issues. But now those employees are harder to replace, and their scarcity beckons higher wages. But even if a call center did (and they do) have higher compentency people on staff, they'll protect those resources with fungible knowledge workers performing de-skilled units of work.

Also, I could easily believe that farming <operations> have higher net knowledge requirements versus call center <operations> (it's arguable). But the units of work for both farming and call centers are as de-skilled as possible for maximum employee fungibility.

If the income was legitimately made from sales overseas fine that's a fitting analogy, but many companies will have a company in a low corporate tax area hold all the IP and the portions of the company that are making money and selling products will 'license' that IP to make it seem like they have lower profits. The overseas income is just from the company paying itself to shuffle money into a cheaper tax location.

Israel Gaza and Iraq are not thousands of miles from the original home countries.

But I am genuinely curious that you answer these:

1.How can the nationality of the Island not be in question and at the same time Argentina have valid claims to the resources? It must be one or the other else there is a contradiction there.

2.There were Britons living in enclaves in South Africa during the Thatcher era.Some of these dated back 400 years. Would the UK have been justified in sending troops to defend their land claims?

Well, I mainly made this after seeing people on Twitter tweet out code perfectly formatted and highlighted, but it's just a screenshot of their text editor.

So basically, the main use-case of Alter is that it lets you tweet code snippets that are a little over 140 characters that are formatted correctly.

It can also be used for more, such as "copy-protection", like you said above.

I'm working on an agile/kanban like web app. Similar to Trello, Sprintly, Jira etc. I feel like all of those are lacking something - Trello is trying to be too generic, and Sprintly feels a bit "busy" and not as simple as I think it can be done. JIRA is a whole other story of bloat. I'm mostly doing it to actually get to work on a site that's built using Phoenix and Elixir and so far that's been an absolute blast! Decided to throw some SPA in there as well, as that would give me a clear separation of backend and view logic. So decided to take a look at Vue.js, and that has really blown me away as well. So simple to get started with, and felt productive right away! Really having fun doing this :)
Listening and Responding to Calls for an Audit and Recount
I don't know how people are making connections to government of all things. Because there are excavators there?

Anyway, judging by the history of CAH Black Friday stunts, I'd say it's definitely a critique of consumerism - of people spending money to buy stupid shit. The difference between CAH and all other Black Friday sales is that CAH tells you up-front you're buying stupid shit (at one occasion, they literally sold bull shit).
I wonder if that's similar to F1 cars which also use pneumatics for valve lift.

It looks a like a great design. I'm guessing valve lift is what also is being used as a substitute for a throttle body but seems tricky and difficult to understand initially. How does it handle situations under vacuum or high boost? Hopefully they release more information about it.

The reality is it's illegal for a bakery to refuse to make a same-sex marriage cake, whilst it isn't illegal for an ad network to refuse to deal with a right-wing website.

There is a different dynamic here. In this comparison, Breitbart is the bakery. The ad exchange is the one with the messages that they want Breitbart to display on their cake, and they (used to) pay Breitbart to do so. It isn't illegal for a same-sex couple to refuse to buy a cake from a random bakery.

Even so, your comment implies that people who think the ad exchange should be allowed to refuse to sell Breitbart's advertising space have to explain why they think bakeries shouldn't be allowed to refuse to make same-sex marriage cakes, but there's no reason why people have to either agree or disagree with both.
