First you have to promise you'll provide at least a 4% employment boost in my town. e.g. (total jobs 5,500 and total population 119,230 or 4.6% in the case of Cork Ireland)

Then assuming you agree to keep those jobs in my town for the next 10 years and considering the average salary of the employee you hire is a bit more than most in the area. There income tax combined with the increase in aggregate sales on goods and services it might be a good deal for the area. At least this is the typical rational for tax incentives. The issue with tax incentives is IMO is they create the perception of corruption (and in many cases maybe real corruption) - favoring one business over another etc...
> OK, so what is the flaw in the current setup that prevents workers from receiving their share of the wealth created? How do you think the system should be changed?

I have no problem with that and I agree with you (but you don't seem to think so). I think it works very well. It's brilliant that many companies have ESOPs. Early employees that take on risk by joining fledgling companies get huge rewards when things pan out. Even workers who come into the business at later stages can get huge gains of they are deemed to bring in proportional value.

>government supplies an implied safety net (Too Big to Fail).

I am very much against this myself. I despise it even. Socialised losses and privatised gains are evil.
I'll occasionally go to the casino with my wife, and put aside a couple hundred dollars for the night. I play at the low end blackjack tables and she generally enjoys slots. For a couple hundred dollars, we both get an entire night's worth of entertainment (we both enjoy the playing, we don't expect to win). Sometimes, we even win some (little) money, which adds to the fun.

At the end of the day, it works out to spending money for entertainment, the same as any other night out.

I don't know where you are from but in the US you most certainly are allowed to hurl racist slurs at speakers in public. It's up to the rest of the crowd to then shout back and speak truth back to the racist. As long as the racist is not shouting how to kill said public speaker or speaking libel, he's legally allowed.

Granted, we get into international situations and Twitter is private anyway. Just noting that "allowed" is not as black/white as you paint it and I wouldn't have it any other way. Would rather have minority groups be able to display their true selves to be judged than silenced.

On the "booo" comment though, you may have a helping idea. Maybe instead of a knee-jerk reaction to comment some obscenities, others would just be willing to -1 / boo / disagree in some way. One-click would be used over typing out the comment.
So I was recently hunting for a new job after having worked with React & Mobx for the past two years. The company I'll start with is using Redux, with which I have zero experience, and I got a lot of offers/interest from Angular/Ember shops as well.

I think it's fair to want someone who's experienced or at least has a fair bit of knowledge in either Angular/Ember/React if you're looking for a web dev. The companies I talked to were at least reasonable enough to know that general knowledge transcends whatever's the current hot framework.
I agree with your disagreement. Furthermore, I'm curious how this edge case could have been mitigated using an alternative tool? most of my VCS experience is with git, and a very little SVN.

The UK is leaving the EU. Having the EU HQ in the UK would not only be silly, it'd also be a huge headache (as many EU organisations are finding out with Article 50 approaching).

Also, what would Apple gain from withdrawing? They weren't paying taxes in Ireland, but they're also not paying taxes in the US. If they pulled out of Ireland they'd still have to pay taxes somewhere, which is exactly the situation they're facing now (just in the US instead of Ireland).
> In America you can be a graduate in computer science without knowing calculus, and in some other country they teach calculus/probability in high school.

This certainly isn't true at my university in the US. As a matter of fact, I'm not sure why you named a country at all seeing as this varies by university. Anyway, I would definitely agree that on the scale of reputable international universities this is not grad-level math. A graduate school in a well-qualified university would expect students to either know this material or be able to learn it on their own. They are intro classes for the math major at my (and many other) universities.
It's also worth noting that they've been active since the 19th century and have successfully pivoted twice, so I feel pretty confident about their chances.

No.

I'll make an analogy: Engineers hate it when sales make commitments on behalf of engineering. Can you not imagine how lawyers might dislike engineers making legal commitments?

When dealing with people outside of the org, lawyers want from engineers what engineers want from sales - be vague and don't create obligations you do not fully understand. It is still perfectly fine for a sales guy to privately point out a bug - just don't shout it to the customer.
A simpler language with a GC makes it go away.

It would make my day if there was a silver bullet that made FF fast, or at least not crash all the time. The same machine can handle literally 10 times more Chrome tabs without any trace of struggle. But I prefer FF for a few things, so sort of stuck in between.
During an "Entrepreneurship" class, some classmates started investigating about SMBs web presence.. and yes, a LOT of SMBs find their Facebook page to be a lot more valuable than their website, often forgoing the website.

It's been a lot worse for them since Facebook started asking for money in order to promote posts, but the ease of use and features of Facebook coupled with an audience beat a website hands down.

Companies included home cooking / office meals, small design and deco items sales, nail polish and beauty supplies, even a general hardware store.

I do think a website is important, but a Facebook page even more so.

Another huge channel here is WhatsApp.

Clearly corporations shouldn't have to pay taxes. The money they spend already fosters the economy so they're already at least as good as any government.

Most high end phones now days have the option to have an always listening microphone for almost no power usage (1 or 2 percent over the day on my Galaxy S5). So if you leave your phone in the middle of the room it works quite well, and often you can even shout at your pocket.

But I think you are right, it's the small improvement over the phone, you always know where it is, and the microphones are designed for large area reception over phone microphones which are generally optimizes for closer sound sources. These small differences are valuable, even though you can get 90% of the functionality by just keeping your phone in the open.
I hope the EU wins. Tax havens need to be illegal. In the US they have created a race to the bottom between economically struggling states. States compete with each other to offer the most incentives and the only ones who win out of this are the corporations.

These are all mostly strawman arguments and can be applied to whatever os you choose. I develop software on Linux (and for linux) exclusively and have done so for more than a decade using nothing but linux. The vast majority of users have no use for Gimp or Openoffice or whatever is not a browser. The game has changed, "whatever on the desktop" is not what it used to be. Granny browses midget porn on her Chromebook just fine, thank you very much.

My team and I routinely use google docs to write multi-million dollar proposals. We use gmail, github and everything else the cool kids use and we all use Ubuntu on our desktops. A tiny fraction of people gets paid to use whatever gimp is used for, those people can and should buy the best tools for the job, and make the rest of us pay for that by claiming the cost back from tax. Same for Office, of whatever variant. If you spend hours a day doing work in whatever Office is good for, acquire a word processing appliance and be done.

Desktop environment envy is a silly human affliction easily cured by using a tiled window manager, I use i3, and so should you.

And lastly, where has this nonsense of everything on this one laptop came from ? Have a laptop for each of your major tasks. For cutting code, nothing but Linux will do. Getting paid to 'shop putin and trump in various man-love positions on top of a horse ? Have yourself a recent mac with elements.
> no perfectly rational, mentally healthy human would volunteer for such a mission

That depends entirely on what they value. If they value their own safety, comfort, and health, then it wouldn't be rational for them. But if they value the advancement of future humans, honor, fame, legacy, scientific discovery, adventure, and so on (which may seem to be irrational things to value for someone in the first group) then it would be rational.

There are some people who will be excited about the fictitious ad from Earnest Shackelton "Men wanted for hazardous journey, small wages, and bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful, honor and recognition in case of success."

I agree the lack of documentation is not really encouraging to test. My guess (I am not related to the project) is that it's pretty experimental work for now, and authors may have focused more on optimizing for performance than on stabilizing things / documenting. But better guidance would help reach more users and get more feedback.

For my part I like the concept of using Rust features to provide packet isolation without having too much performance downgrade. Also, this is the first time I hear of Rust running on top of DPDK.
Yeah, I've hosted websites since I was a teenager. Ten bucks a month is pretty affordable for anyone employed.

> I doubt it would be enormously difficult for Apple to relocate from Dublin to London.

Obviously it is not. Tax sheltering does not require much physical presence at all. It probably requires no more than changing a few contract between subsidiaries to initiate the cash movement to their fiscal haven of choice.

The real problem for Apple is for the money that is already there.

More generally this generation of tax avoidance is probably coming to an end: both the EU and the US are looking at it those days, and Ireland is one regulation away to have to find another way to print money.

Not quite sure what's the big deal. Tax avoidance scheme are rarely stable long term. Extracting tax money is a global competitive market between state and large companies/rich individual. You should sleep peacefully knowing that in all the possible resolution of this affair, Apple will always have to effectively pay less tax than possible to your little startup stuck in a single country tax system.

Do note that this idea of technological determinism[0] is referenced directly in the parent article.

As for me, I'd like to think that a bit more nuanced approach is better. Yes, stirrups might enable men to use horses in new ways and to brace themselves on horseback. But this sort of expensive heavily armoured cavalry cannot exists in a vacuum. It needs a class of wealthy people who can buy armour and horses. The wealthy need some sort of motivation to train themselves as warriors and so on. If you are interested in the subject, The Making of Europe: Conquest, Colonization and Cultural Change, 950-1350 by Robert Bartlett [1] is an excellent book on the subject.

Do the "requests" mean page views or http requests? A single page view almost always has multiple http requests.

Worth mentioning that Gitlab pages supports https for custom domains. I am considering moving my blog to Gitlab. Anyone know about the resource limits and performance under Gitlab pages?
Only if implicitly declared. You could define them as reals, and in well written code, you would.

But those stacks aren't stacks from a memory management perspective! They're just heap objects (that happen to be exposed to the user using a stack abstraction): The data in them is heap data, their lifetime is plain heap lifetime, and their memory management (which is what we're talking about and isn't at all trivial) is heap memory management (pretty much). It's just another way of abstracting objects via message passing. You can call your objects "stacks", but they're still the same objects.

Let me take this to the extreme: Imagine a language with no assignable variables at all, but with processes and channels. In that language, you're able to create an arbitrary mutable variable as a process with a channel, that can get `set` or `get` messages. The value of the "variable" is kept in the process's "stack". In fact, this is pretty much how the process calculi work (one of which, CSP, is one of the inspirations behind Go's design). That this is how you choose to design your programming abstractions makes no difference to the runtime implementation. Your stacks would behave just like normal variables behave in languages with different abstractions.

I have no clue what maintenance is like, or more importantly costs. Can you replace components, or do you have to buy entire assemblies when something breaks?
This is the right answer. I think for whatever reason, software programmers are afraid to learn how git works. They'll spend countless hours learning how their other tools work - but not the one that keeps and protects changes to their work. It's maddening. The worst part is - it's really not that difficult to go into the .git directory and look at how the files are structured and learn it. Once you do, a lot of using git becomes second nature.
I wonder whether this relates to the article a few days ago concerning GitHub's falling profit? If more people are using GitHub Pages as a free and easy alternative to having their own website then it could be impacting them in more concerning ways than just acceptable loss.

Apple might be able to get away here for now, but laws will continue to be adjusted in order to make it harder and harder to arbitrarily move profits around. This is an ongoing process that has started years ago. These legal adjustments are all aimed towards making sure that profits are taxed in the country in which they are actually generated. In the worst case, this will end up as a cat-and-mouse game between governments and corporations and lead to a bureaucratic nightmare, which would be entirely avoidable if companies like Apple were more honest to begin with. And don't tell me that companies have a "fiduciary duty" to avoid as much taxes as possible in order to maximize profits. That's a myth. Shareholders are completely free to define the purpose of a company in its articles. And in fact, the articles usually don't say "maximize profits at all cost", but are kept general enough to allow for paying taxes as it was intended by the law.

HTTPS is about more than just confidentiality (encryption), though. There's also authentication (the party serving the traffic to you is the party you asked for) and integrity (the traffic has not been modified since it was sent).

This prevents all kinds of undesirable behaviour; like your ISP injecting JavaScript ads into the webpages you view.

Confidentiality is just a nice little side-benefit.
