When you invest in any corporation as a US person, you are only taxed on income you receive as dividends, or capital on your gains if you sell the investment (and any imputed income); not on your share of the undistributed income of the corporation. It's the same for a US corporation, they generally conduct business overseas through a wholly owned subsidiary corporation, organized within the overseas jurisdiction. If the subsidiary passes income back to the parent (a dividend), the parent will have to pay income tax on that; if the income remains within the subsidiary, so does the tax burden.

If the US corporation directly accumulates income overseas, then it would be liable for US income tax as well.

It's a lot easier for a large corporation to arrange its affairs in this manner than a natural person, though.

When I grew up in Sweden in the 80's, I was a member of the state church despite not being baptized, because it was the state church, and my parents were members, so I was automatically added.

Almost everyone of my classmates were baptized and later confirmed. Everyone went to weddings and funerals in church. The school semester ending gatherings were held in church, we sung psalms, a priest read the christmas gospel if it was christmas, and something lighter if it was summer. Some would wear a cross necklace. If you asked people if they were christian, most would say "yes".

But noone was a believer. None of my classmates were christians. Almost none of their parents were. Yet to a casual observer, it would have appeared we were all good christian children. And since almost everyone was a member of the church, the official statistics backed it up. From the outside, you would have to poke pretty hard to figure out that no, none of these people are actually christian.

And it seems like the guy in the article isn't poking hard enough. He just sees religious activity, and immediately equates that with religious belief. Why would people go to church if they're not religious?

Why, indeed?

The opening discussion on Sir Tim Berners Lee gave me more perspective on the debate of the W3C and DRM.

People have pointed out before [0] how much of a disappointment it is that TBL allowed EME to be legitimised.

But it's really hard to see the founder of the web (one of my main initial inspirations) being legitimately shown as an enabler of large corporate greed.

Forgive the analogy, but the best way I could think of it was the free software and an open web as a kind of resistance movement. The French resistance for example did many things that did no good as the Nazis just powered through anyway.

But the point of each resistance fighter is to inspire the next.

If one of the founders of the movement suddenly steps aside and lets the Nazis do what they want on the basis that they would anyway then it's a massive blow.

Dodgy analogies aside, I wish TBL was as uncompromising as RMS.

You are using the word "relative". I'd say the US has gradually become capital starved, our tax system is eating our seed corn. Our growth rates have been pathetic the last 40 years.

More capital is always better. It lowers the bar for investment. It increases productivity, allowing us to get more of the best jobs. The strong dollar is a sign of success.

And don't forget that reprinted profits aren't always revinested, lots of it is paid out to shareholders who consume some of them, creating demand.

What does that mean out-of-band? I'm not good with SSH, I'm not using 2-factor key based, also in general it makes sense to have separate servers right? Like one server that transfers request to a server closer to another country. Not Cloudflare but your own thing assuming you rented from different datacenters in the world. Sorry not related to the question.

edit: literally band? Like another wavelength/connection?

No, for a variety of reasons...

For starters, there _are_ ways to disable it externally, but they use a fairly specialized magnet. Secondly, even if they could shut it off, the patient isn't really in a position to know if it's shocking them for a legitimate reason or not. Shutting it off may simply shut their heart off...

Finally, the security properties of Bluetooth aren't exactly up to the standards I would like to see for a "can deliver a fatal shock to someone's heart" type device.

You're mixing up Keynesianism with money supply increases due to changes to the reserve ratio, discount rate, and printed currency. These happen to central bank controlled fiat money regardless of whether the people controlling the money supply are Keynesian.

Then you conflated losing some percentage of your cash assets due to inflation, which can happen even if the money supply does not change, to losing all of your cash assets with some probability. The former encourages investment, while the latter encourages not holding cash at all.

I'm not sure why we wouldn't want foreign investors to invest here tax free. If a chinese investor can build a building in the US, that building still pays all of it's local and property taxes that should account for it's infrastructure cost. And if not, that's problem with those taxes, not the US corporate income tax.

The Chinese investor isn't a US citizen, doesn't get to vote, or benefit from government programs, isn't using US infrastructure, essentially is a cost-free source of capital. Why would we want them to invest in another country instead?

I believe there was a time when blockchain.info's Android wallet generated keys from Apache's 301 redirect HTML fetched over HTTP[1].

I think there's also a lesson about idiot-proofing APIs. With the benefit of this in hindsight, I might instead return an invalid, non-HTTP response that blows up every major HTTP client internally, so that it's impossible for the API consumer code to happily truck along interpreting a non-200 response body as if it's valid random data.

I agree that, on average, doctors are smart. But my newly-minted MD fiancee would be the first to tell you that they're not the "just about the smartest" and that she can basic algebra, no more.

And, for example, they only have to pass introductory physics. My undergraduate university had a special lower-level physics course specifically made for pre-med students.

I didn't want to imply that. I meant that this kind of fix is a good reason to break something, and I am happy that they quickly reacted to this issue, and don't change everything all the time even though it is in the x/ packages and not covered by the standard library stability promise.

In general I am very happy that the big emphasis on a stable APIs was taken up by the community, and that we have a lot of stable packages out now (even though they might not be 100% stable like the standard library). Since I also have to work with NodeJs where changing APIs and packages are much more common, I came to really appreciate that fact about the ecosystem.

I'm an Australian, so I'm going to comment here.

We have NFC (or PayPass) nearly everywhere.

So you tap your card, and about 2 seconds later a receipt comes out. My 1 year old can do it. In fact, she actually loves doing it - every time we go to a store, she takes my card and I help her tap it.

Compare that to the old doddery shops using cash, where they have to take their gloves off, get your notes/coins, ring up the register, count up the change, and hand it to you?

And really - if you're handling food or near food - do you really want them handling coins/notes?

There is no way cash is faster.

Apparently US doesn't have NFC everywhere and you still have that old magnetic swipe thing? I'm assuming that will change soon though, when you guys upgrade. But yeah, definitely easier/faster.

The only shops around here that still take cash only are very low value shops, or a few Asian restaurants who everybody assumes are just doing tax evasion...lol.

In fact, at a recent popup food stall in Pyrmont - they had big signs saying "Card Only" - probably because they didn't want the safety risk of lots of small merchants handling large amounts of cash - or the possible food/health/safety violations.

And even in Coles (one of our two major supermarkets) - a lot of checkouts are Card Only - so that people using cash don't hold things up.

They don't manufacture anything in the us

It's always a gamble trying to create certain incentives, but could the gov't give a tax holiday assuming the repatriated cash is invested within the US?

It's an interesting idea, but I'm not holding my breath as usually the implementation is difficult and what ends up happening is companies game the system and get the cash back in the US without having to do anything.
I have a Canoscan LiDE 220 sitting right next to me, I could probably double the resolution in this. This would be stellar for high-resolution texture capture. Maybe also very cool for capturing complex details of paintings, like diffuse, specular, normal, and subsurface diffusion maps.

I wonder if they take into account that the LiDE pixels are non-square. This is exposed in the SANE driver on Linux (though I'm sure it's by accident), but the windows drivers don't really let on.

The one problem which they don't seem to mention specifically in the paper is that Canon still puts USB 2.0 on these devices, so the drivers have to be careful not to scan the image all at once, or the buffer will fill up. It indeed takes about two minutes to capture an A4 page in 1200DPI 16 bit mode.

The software they wrote is also very impressive for the time. Today, even if I want to use ImageMagick just to change the bit depth of a 2400DPI grayscale scan, it takes up about 9 GiB at cruise, and spikes to nearly 20GiB of RAM. Thankfully I have much more than that, but they evidently did not.

The system on the LiDE 220 is (close to) 2400x4800DPI, with the 4800DPI being on the movable axis (even though their marketing material says 4800x4800). If I removed the colour filter and swapped the lightbar for just white, then the sensor could do (2400 * 3)x4800 at 16 bits (though their ADC is not quite that good at the full speed, so more like 12-14 bits). Very cool imaging devices, I only wish Canon was more open to third parties making interesting use of their hardware.

"Firms currently pay corporate taxes on their profits. Border-adjustment would change how those profits are calculated. Accountants could no longer deduct imports—say, goods brought in from China—as costs. And their exports would no longer count as revenues. For tax purposes, “profits” would be domestic sales minus domestic costs. Effectively, imports would be taxed, and exports would be subsidised. As a result, retailers, who stock their shelves with imported wares, are lobbying against the change. Exporters, such as the aerospace industry, broadly support it."

It's a sneaky form of tariffs. Tariffs are a terrible idea. Free trade benefits all parties.

Currently there is a large amount of corporate expenses around conforming to and gaming the corporate income tax code. Eliminating the corporate income tax is a massive simplification that not only makes investment more attractive, but it eliminates those costs that produce nothing, and the spending redistributed to actual productive activities that produce goods and services. Finally, eliminate corporate taxes benefits importers and exporters equally, it's not industrial planning to pick or favor winners and industries, it relies on market forces not political ones.

Ask HN: Handling burn out and savings
My situation: I'm in my early 40s, have 100k savings, no pension, no property (renting), dull freelance job, family with 1 kid. Feel like jacking in the job and doing something slightly daring with a large chunk of that money. Invest in a start-up? Take a year-long sabbatical? Is this a very stupid idea? I would stay in the job but to be honest I feel like I'm burning out.
Isn't it nice that XYZ startup also doesn't make profits, thus pay $0 in tax?
That's a great work and great write-up. I'm happy it finally landed.

> one option is to tax the money regardless of accounting technicalities that assign revenue to international subsidiaries.

So wait, how do you handle the Chinese who want to tax Apple as well? And would Apple be at a disadvantage to non-American companies like Lenovo or SAP, so we would have to tax all companies in the world on all business they do anywhere if they have a business presence in the USA. Otherwise, all companies would simply stop being American because they would be severely disadvantaged otherwise.

Not workable.
This is actually the common usage. I've never heard anybody say they're going out to an American-Italian restaurant.

Along the same lines, when I tell my friends that I'm going to a Chinese restaurant, they know exactly what I mean. And no, it doesn't mean I'm taking the next flight out to Shanghai to eat.

>In this paper, we present a scan camera system in which
we transform a $100–$200 consumer-grade flatbed scanner
into a very high resolution digital scan backend. When used in combination with a conventional 8" x 10" large format view camera, this setup achieves resolutions of up to
122-490 million pixels (depending on scanner model). The
total system, including large format camera, lens, scanner,
and color filters can readily be assembled for about $1200-
$1300.

Impressive results for the price.

No, this isn't workable.
Out-of-band means you need to transfer (or at verify) the ssh host key over something other than ssh for the initial connection. The host key is how the client verifies the server is who it says it is. The client caches the key after the initial connection. But for that initial connection, there's no way to know that the key isn't that of a MITM attacker.

One way to get the key out of band might be from the AWS console for example. Presumably that connection is protected via HTTPS where the CA infrastructure (theoretically) can protect against MITM attacks.

BTW, it's also possible to setup ssh to use certificates instead of simple keys which might make sense depending upon how many hosts you manage.
If we're talking serious vulnerabilities (e.g. can allow remote code execution) for a project used by a large number of people, then absolutely. It can be weeks between initial report and a fix being pushed depending on the vulnerability, and even longer for people to update. It's a pretty good niche: intercept emails to maintainers for important projects and either sell the vulnerabilities or use them yourself in that small window. It'll net you a pretty steady stream of 0days if you can pull it off and you choose the right target. Encrypting communication makes that strategy a lot more difficult, and more invasive.
Buffett is running an investment company. The day Berkshire Hathaway can't do a better job of earning long term returns than it's shareholders can, is the day it no longer justifies it's existence.

There have certainly been times where Buffett has struggled to find good investments, and in the short run a dividend might have seemed wise. But those times always pass and letting cash pile up until opportunities arise has worked very well for him.

Apple isn't an investment company. They are a consumer products company. Their new product ideas should not require large amounts of capital. Even the silly car idea should never get more than $10B or so in funding until it's proven, which is mice nuts in their grand scheme.

So they should return excess capital to shareholders. The only limiting test is how much is 'excess'. Tim Cook is likely being very conservative, but in the future if Apple has to ride out some bad years, having a hundred billion or so in the bank might prove the difference between success and failure.
