The ruling is not that novel, and can be seen as just an other in a long list of fair trade laws. If EU allows nations to give subsidy to specific companies, then what stop other nations from using tariffs, preferential treatment, quotas, or other things which international trade law has fought against in the last few hundred years. Sovereignty over fair trade has been given up by most nations, including the U.S. (through they are also the ones that have been active in pushing such laws).

Ireland has a clear alternative, which is to grant such tax law for every company within their border. It would kill their budget, and bring down their own government, but they could do as is their right under sovereignty. Low tax is not illegal within fair market rules, so long everyone is competing on equal ground.

> TL;DR Apple pays taxes they are suppose to pay per Irish tax code

small addition: the Irish tax code was found to be illegal.
Mr. Zargham certainly is a concise writer.
I think the problem here wasn't even the low tax rate, but the special arrangements they made with select companies.

Because that allows them to offer Luxembourg-style almost-zero tax rates to a few international giants without sacrificing their domestic tax base.

Individual subsidies have been illegal under most circumstances for quite a while now, and giving them a 95% tax rebate is obviously almost identical in effect and morality (law to be determined).

It's also a pretty classic case: Apple is going to have European headquarters somewhere, and any tax rebate they get is a loss of X in European tax revenue and a plus of the same magnitude for Apple's shareholders. It'd be stupid for the European countries not to cooperate (with the understanding of transfers to those countries whose competitiveness suffers)
The "standard" for high end audio processing is Pro Tools HD/HDX, which does cost this much in its fully-fledged form.

Users can run a CPU-only version of Pro Tools called HD Native which (along with its competitors like Logic, Sonar, etc) are useful and powerful programs. However they lack the power and depth of plugins available for the hardware-accelerated version of ProTools (and other hardware-accelerated plugins like UAD).

I think the Holy Grail is and has always been to "go native" and get rid of these sorts of accelerator cards as money is better spent on the general-purpose devices that retain their utility better. But we still aren't there yet - when you load up even the best CPUs with lots of convolution processing, too much latency is introduced. So yes, I think there's at least a niche market for the $15K general-purpose computer that truly represents a "bottomless pit" of audio processing power.

I haven't even touched on video editing or 3D rendering, both of which can be even more CPU intensive. When you add all these niches together, they still look like the original power-creative niche Apple was targeting 10 years ago with the Mac Pro and the Macbook Pro, and we still want more power.
I feel like a good first step would be setting up an orbital base/space station that orbits mars. It might be be a little easier than habitation On the planet itself, and more risk for the astronauts involved. However, if we set that up using knowledge gleaned from the ISS, I think its a viable path to take.
I am wondering what is the use case for this and how is this different from Redis set commands (LPOP,RPOP, etc)

This is not true, the taxes paid in the EU are deducted from the 35% TAX that has to pay in the US if they repatriate the money.
> Basically I still believe that to do application-side paging now that disks are also faster (ratio compared to RAM) is an interesting approach. I still think that using the kernel VM to do so is a bad idea in general, but could work for certain apps.

What does apple do in order to help support their hardware on Linux? nothing. It's all coming from reverse engineering efforts, correct me if I'm wrong. You can't expect it to work flawlessly.

He's installing the mac mini server in order to run jenkins, redmine and backup. Why would you need a GUI for that?Fortunately he doesn't say anywhere he's going to run VMs on that 4GB ram machine.

> Git is certainly the best of the version control systems to date, and I'm happy that it won.

Me too.

What I found was that people do not recognize what tool git really is. People do not read the manuals and count on their world knowledge acquired from years of svn or other centralized systems. It's not the best sign, that you have to really dig git to be able to use it properly. But once you understood the core ideas, you can basically derive a lot of the workflows yourself, in a very principled and clear manner. Also: once you get a bit more familiar with the data model, one almost cannot not appreciate its beauty, I believe.
Blurring the person you love
Totally agree. I got a neato botvac connect and I use it maybe once a month when I can babysit it. My dream of having it on a twice a week schedule were shattered the first time I ran it and it got stuck several times in several different ways. It got stuck under a chair, under my cabinets, on a shag carpet, but the most absurd was in the kitchen, not touching anything at all, the sensors were confused by the reflection between the stove and refrigerator. Not to mention if you don't use it for a while, it forgets its settings or something and I have to go through the setup process again to add it to my network. sigh...
If master is currently in production, a good way to do frequent deploys for code that's "not quite ready yet" is to use a feature toggle. This allows you to do partial feature deploys, but block any code paths from using it. Plus when it's time to start directing traffic towards that code path you can turn it off, if you find a bug you missed during testing.

The question why there were flaws in current law in first place. I think they were there because politicians like to strut around with CEOs who bring employment opportunities(however dubious) in those areas which help them win votes. Governments sign MOUs and preferential treatment agreements to bring companies in their areas.

Instead of Apple if governments were more honest they would have told locals that companies are not looking to set up base here because they are seeking tax benefits and as upright people we will not do that.
Interesting. I run into the same problem with Chrome, usually when I have my dev tools open for significant time.
We have a Roomba at home, from photo search looks like irobot 880.

It only makes it back to its home base less than 50% of the time. Other times it may be stuck in following ways:

-stuck on rounded foot of bar stool. Why not drive backwards to get off it?

-stuck under radiator with backside lifted up a bit. Why not drive backwards as soon as it felt the resistance?

Less avoidable:

-stuck in room where it closed the door by pushing against it but obviously couldn't open it anymore

-stuck by having tried to suck up a tshirt or cable or similar

Also, when trying to make it dock its homebase, it sometimes misses it by a few centimeters, and in that case,
instead of simply driving backwards a bit, then forwards again with better aim, it instead rotates around 180 degrees, drives really far, and can take a very long time to go for the home base again. Why not just drive backwards a bit?

And then, it has a hidden mode, where it doesn't clean despite being scheduled. This mode will randomly sometimes enable when its battery was empty (which it is often due to the above reasons). To disable this mode, there is no simple button or UI or anything, instead the mode is disabled by making it clean for at least 1 minute. Since there is no indication when it's in this mode, the only way to find out is by noticing that it was not stuck under radiators or on bar stools for many days in a row so probably it has not been cleaning.

Also, it has no separate battery for the time. So if it got stuck and battery got empty, the time resets. Annoying!

I really think some simple programming fixes (learn to drive backwards for example and no hidden modes with bad UI) and a separate battery for time would already make it so much more useful! Why don't they do that?

I think these type of products may end up being better for the less tech obsessed. I'm thinking of getting one in the next year or so because I don't have my phone on me at all times when I'm at home and and I think that's true for a lot of people who aren't hyper-connected and attached to their phones all the time. It's nice to have access to all that stuff just in the house but without feeling like you're attached to a device at all times.
I think this years re:invent was a big factor to the supply as well. Everyone who attended was given one.

Why not? Apple doesn't produce any tax income for them, Apple has zero R&D in EU, and Apple not selling to EU consumers would only benefit the local companies like BQ, Sony and Alcatel.
apple go to a lot of effort to make only their software work on their hardware, and vice versa, the days of the linux crowd caring enough to test it have long since passed.

whats the point in having a gui installed on a machine that by definition has no keyboard mouse or moniter (Aka a server)

they arent 3 "package managers". yum is a package manager, rpm is a package installer and dnf is a proposed replacement for yum.

It depends on the type and scope of the contract. Federal Acquisition Regulations do a fair job at keeping oversight and "fairness" (depending on a lot of factors), but at a minimum, you'd have:

* A large body of workers and analysts constructing the requirements
* A few contracts officers working to codify those requirements into a request for proposal
* A handful of technical contracts officers evaluating the mass of responses
* A large pool of technical contracts officers and contracts officers ensuring that the statutory grounds of the proposals are met (verifying that yes, this is a small / veteran owned / minority owned business or yes, this business does have prior qualifications, etc.)

After you've separated the wheat from the chaff, and eliminated the obviously incapable parties, the team contracts down to 1 or 2 contracts officers and their staff. This team evaluates the technical feasibility against the requirements, asks a lot of questions to their own technical teams, and then ultimately, votes on the winner.

Point by point.

- If he has a recent model Macbook its KNOWN to be problematic. Searching "2016 macbook linux" most of the top results are about how it doesn't work well. He specifically says he assumed because redhat offered it that it worked with linux. When you can't spend 30 seconds researching your development machine it might be your fault.

- Server guis are known to be limited, hard to automate and just generally inefficient desiring a gui for your server is normally a sign that you just aren't very good.

- Users don't have to use ANY command line package managers there is in fact a gui for that if they prefer. If they choose wholly of their own accord to use a command line package manager they probably ought to read the relevant help document https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Package_management_system which makes the usage of the relevant tools pretty clear.

I don't think its untoward that red hat employees that wish to set up Fedora servers be expected to read documentation.

At first, I thought the title was a mistake, as the letter speaks of 'neutrons' throughout. But it turns out that the term 'neutrino' came only later:

'Pauli earlier (in 1930) had used the term "neutron" for both the neutral particle that conserved energy in beta decay, and a presumed neutral particle in the nucleus, and initially did not consider these two neutral particles as distinct from each other'

Can you not imagine how lawyers might dislike engineers making legal commitments

I think it takes a lawyer to believe "pointing out when the company you work for is breaking the law" is the same as "making a legal commitment", as if laws only apply if you acknowledge them. I'm realise that is essentially how the world lawyers live in works, but I think it sucks and I wouldn't want to sign a contract that forces me to be a part of it.
Firefox isn't great either - I'm locked into an older version until Sauce Labs supports geckodriver because Mozilla made an awful breaking change in 47 to switch to a beta driver for Webdriver support, which prevents us from testing newer browsers, and their dev tools are far less robust than Chrome's.

Chrome also has the benefit of letting me use my Google account for managing my bookmarks, as well as automatically being logged into my Google services.

There is simply very little compelling reason for me to use Firefox typically as it offers me a subpar experience, and every time I do have to use Firefox's dev tools, I am saddened by their choices of hotkeys/UI/etc.

You are missing the point completely.

This case is not about lower or higher taxes. This is not the EU telling member states what tax rates they should have.

This is purely about whether or not Apple got special treatment that is not available to other companies.

The EU cannot allow the biggest corporations to go shop around for sweetheart deals that smaller companies have no chance of getting.

[EDIT] Your EDIT contradicts your second paragraph. This case is about special treatment for a specific company. Whichever way it is decided by the courts, it does not affect the sovereign rights of member states to make tax laws as they see fit. They just have to apply those tax laws in a non-discriminatory fashion.
> This is not true, the taxes paid in the EU are deducted from the 35% TAX that has to pay in the US if they repatriate the money.

Which taxes paid in the EU are deducted? The VAT? Corp?
Yeah, I'm trying to do that. I guess I was just wondering if anyone had good suggestions, both when considering future work and considering the 'fun' side of it.

For now I've been having fun doing more serious app-development, I'm looking into native (mobile) development via React Native, and I'm eyeing chat bots in the context of psychology/health (CBT, lifestyle, etc.).

So I'm okay for now with not moving beyond the UI/app-ey side of things, but part of me is curious for more intellectually challenging stuff that requires a bit more 'computer science' (although I never studied that).

These comments about the NSA listening to you through these get annoying enough to me, I hate to think how annoying they must be to you when you built the damn thing.
I think you misunderstood my point:

It's okay to teach a little tmux, a little notebooks, and a little AWS each lesson, rather than the course be topic by topic. I agree with your point that it's a better way to teach material in a course, because it allows you to get people started doing things.

My point was that within a lesson, you should separate topics, because people don't handle the topic switches well when trying to listen -- it's basically just a cache/stack smash. Diversions are distracting, even when materials are interwoven in the course.

The casinos more than understand this. They can tell you the break down between whales and average gamblers.
