Presumably you're a grown adult, you don't need our permission to do anything. You're asking the wrong questions.

You should be asking, what is it I want to do? Will 3 weeks be enough? (it won't) Does my employment contract allow for this? How would they even know unless you tell them?

Work on it in your free time, don't tell anybody, especially your employer. When/if you're ready to launch and if there's going to be a conflict of interest you can quit then.
At this point aren't they at risk of thieves (elected officials) conspiring to take huge pieces of that money?
So, your argument is that, "how a licensed work is used, broadcast, or performed" is different than real property?

I agree. We shouldn't afford any of the rights we do to 'intellectual property' that we do to real property. Your argument is completely derived from that of the intellectual property owners (aka rentiers).

My argument is that innovation and creativity will continue with very minimal intellectual property protections.

Edit: Therefore, intellectual property protections are useless in the intent:

I don't think there's anything hard about computing this, but in the normal case companies report all the money they collect as revenue, and then subtract costs to show their profits.

In the marketplace case this is deceitful because the marketplace owner doesn't really have a way to bring the costs of the product down, so it's much more realistic to only consider their margin as revenue.

In the UberPool case I think there's a reasonable argument to be made that since they are paying drivers a flat fee, but charging users based on dynamic pricing and packing a variable number of people in each vehicle Uber has more flexibility in terms of how it provides the service to customers, the top line number of how much they are charging users is more reasonable. Uber cuts their costs on an UberPool ride in half every time they put two groups in the same car.

You would really want to see the data broken out by category if you were an investor, since mixing the two types in the revenue number is sort of meaningless since we don't know the split, but we're not exactly in a position to demand financials.

Still, I think this data shows a much rosier picture than HN wants to paint about how "Uber is losing money on every ride"/"Selling 2 dollar bills for $1" etc. the 2.8B loss is huge, but when you look at it compared to the $20B bookings number, you can see that they're not significantly subsidizing rides, but rather using their war chest to compete on price. They only need a 15% price increase to become profitable, which shows their prices are in the right ballpark, even if they're not profitable right now.

I do wonder if this is essentially a move to try and compete more effectively for talent that, besides being outraged, may be starting to believe HN about how likely Uber is to fail.

I almost married a neurologist, who was woefully incapable of helping me deal with my migraines. In my anecdotal experience, doctors really aren't that smart. They are taught rote memorization instead of critical thinking, and according to my ex, 90% of their job is using something similar to WebMD. And many of the people I grew up with that weren't particularly bright ended up going to med school and becoming doctors. And my ex was definitely terrible at math and physics, although she was competent with biology.

There is a notable exception for surgeons though, every one of whom I've met is a badass. Again, this is based on anecdotal experience and I'm sure there are exceptions (or maybe I've just had poor sampling, but the sample size is dozens of people). But I do know that most doctors are not taught how to think, but much more how to follow processes that are incredibly similar to basic computer scripts (if X then Y).
I'm simply asking you to provide any sort of statistics on the "danger" of these surgeries, which you refuse to do.

I also wonder if they want to repatriate. It seems to me like this giant pile of cash represents a pretty compelling strategic advantage ... the argument for repatriating tends to be along the lines that repatriating will allow a large one time dividend or stock buyback -- a nice short term money grab for shareholders. The only thing standing between the shareholders and this giant pile of money is the repatriation tax.

Seems like Apple is better off with the tax status quo - it provides a good excuse to combat the short term investor demands for return of the cash pile and allows the accrual of what could prove to be a very serious long term advantage ...

I wonder how often the mere (ominous/encouraging) existence of the cash pile proves useful during supply chain development/negotiations ...

1) The rich pay most of the taxes in the US. The top 10% take home 45% of all income and pay 82% of all income taxes. The US has a very progressive taxation system overall.

2) Most large corporations pay a substantial corporate tax rate. Exxon and Chevron for decades have routinely paid over 35%. Walmart pays a 30% rate. Facebook has averaged a 32% tax rate the last five years. Boeing has averaged a 25% rate the last five years. Intel routinely pays 20% or higher. Pfizer has averaged a 22% rate the last five years. 3M has averaged a 28.6% rate the last five years.

Would you like me to continue listing the tax rates of major US corporations? Because the overwhelming majority of them pay a high rate compared to the rest of the world.

So much for your theories.

As a rule, functional programming languages tend to have trouble with gaining adoption. It's simply a programming paradigm that a great many programmers don't seem to be comfortable with.

Now, the ML family of languages (SML, OCaml, F#) is technically a family of multi-paradigm, functional-first languages, but that doesn't help with clearing the "functional" hurdle in popular perception.

We don't need to speculate.

Apple paid a 25.4% tax rate on their income last year.

That's a relatively high effective tax rate compared to the effective tax rates in nearly all developed nations.
A couple of tips:

2) You could disallow URLs which are detected with 2 or more engines by VirusTotal:

What if there was an option to rewrite the source .rs file into the matching layout?

But you can get "polymorphism" by spawning different processes that all respond to the same messages. So in that sense the process is the "instance", and the process function is the "class".
You can do mutation in both Standard ML and OCaml. If I recall, Robert Harper's book on Standard ML starts off with a recursive descent parser.
The article was referring to Christian churches in China, and Christianity most definitely has values that are higher than the government and that the government is obliged to obey.

And what about you, boabrain, do you believe there are values higher than the government?
This seems a lot until you notice that really rich people don't pay these taxes. They make capital gains or receive dividends, which are either tax free or taxed at a much advantaged rate. This is why there is such a great separation between the 1% and the rest of the population.
Hey, there are two companies, IBM and SAP. They both do a lot of business abroad, pay taxes abroad, and whatever.

Now which one do you want to pay all their taxes on all their international income? IBM? SAP? Pick carefully: why should SAP have a competitive advantage over IBM?

Digital companies ALREADY pay taxes for everything that happens INSIDE of the USA. What we are arguing about is stuff that occurs OUTSIDE of the USA.

Donald Trump becoming president simply means crazy idiotic proposals are now on the table. But then again he is realizing "gosh, this is really hard, not as easy as I thought" like health care, wall building, labelling china a currency manipulator, tax reform, etc...
I think it would. I'm starting to get that familiar 'realities are diverging' feeling reading some of the comments on this post.

Other than the options you have suggested to deal with the regressive nature of consumption tax (which seem sensible to me), I thought the Republican tax proposal is essentially to: lower tax on returns to capital (by reducing the corporate tax rate) and institute a value-add consumption tax (in the form of a cash-flow tax).

From what I understand, a key reason the Chinese government is suspicious of Christianity and Islam is they are both universalist religions that hold that all human beings are sons and daughters of the same God, and so all deserve to be treated with respect.

China, from what I understand, has traditionally held that the Chinese people and state are superior to everyone else, and so deserve a superior status in the world.

The article doesn't describe how the ban is technically enforced. I'm not aware of a great Russian firewall so I speculate it's either self-enforced (LinkedIn agreed to reject users who enter Russia as their country), or enforced by ISPs.

The first is unlikely, the second is easily bypassed.

The republican proposal equalizes American taxes with much of the rest of the world with respect to imports and exports. Basically, in most countries, goods coming in (imports) are charged VAT while goods going out (exports) get a VAT rebate. Since the USA doesn't do that ATM, goods going into Mexico get VAT applied to them on the Mexican side but do not get rebated on the American side, while Mexican goods coming in get rebates from Mexico but nothing occurs in the USA beyond normal sales tax.

This is a different thing from taxing global profits, which is uniquely American (well, and Eritrea). VAT is something else.
I always found that to be a little sad. iirc, the Carpets in the story are completely deterministic - while there is life there, it will always unambiguously lack free will. (Though I suppose they'll never know it.)

> The disagreement probably wouldn't be about affirmative action at all, but rather about the definition of racism and whether both parties define it the same way.

Yeah classes about race in the US define the difference between isolated cases of discrimination and institutional discrimination against a racial minority. They go over the history of racial discrimination in colleges and universities and other public institutions as a method to disenfranchise and disempower minorities. They illustrate that college admissions or job positions aren't zero-sum quantities, and that the state goes to great lengths to increase the capacity of universities and add jobs every day so that there are enough for everyone. Finally, they point out that failing to enact policies to level the playing field entrenches privilege: without something to break the cycle of institutionalized racism (and other institutional discrimination), minority groups remain trapped in a cycle of lower opportunity and higher risk.

That's right. You have to pay taxes when you produce your work overseas. Corporations do not have to pay taxes when they produce their work overseas. It sounds unfair, but if you subscribe to the idea that corporate profits are more important than human life, as many in the US do, it makes perfect sense.
But the pool of college graduates who can read and write is much larger than the pool of high school graduates who can read and write.

Considering that requiring interviewees to pass a literacy test may open you up to lawsuits, and that there is a large pool of college grads with no jobs and lots of debt, it's easier to just hire only college grads.

Personally, I don't regret the time I sank on 4chan/video games (still play a lot), anime, etc from ages 13-22. Maybe I am less ambitious than you, but I have a programming job in a good city and I'm not stressed about finances/rent. Good enough for me. My career is going fine and I'm learning new skills at work every year.

I look back on those years and remember a lot of fun nights with friends. In fact, sometimes I miss it!
:) Yeah, unfortunately JavaScript can only be improved by educating people not to use the horrible parts (rather than fixing/deprecating them which is not possible). const and let were extremely necessary.
Sup Jorge! You named the big ones. There are a bunch of others, as well. IMO, try to get your comparison down to just two. That's a reasonable set to dive deep on.

For a lighter overview, I think the big features are: team workflow, security, and CI/CD pipeline.

Team workflow is just how easy it is to get going / share with your team. IMO, ECR or GCR will have a natural edge here if you're already on their cloud. Tagging is important too, but I think everyone supports that.

Security is both the details of transport (SSL, etc), and whether your containers are getting scanned. Quay.io and Docker Hub both do security scanning for private repos. Quay has a slight edge in that public repos also get scanned thanks to Clair. I believe GCR and ECR lag behind here.

CI/CD pipeline is important because your registry becomes a big chunk of your build. This is what's going to really take time to investigate and dig into. You want to make sure it's easy to add hooks to git or w/e, and troubleshoot build issues (good logging, auditing, etc).

Full disclosure I work at CoreOS and with the Quay folks. That said, I also think they're constantly probing into cool frontiers. I think Clair changed registry security. The team's also started doing cool stuff for k8s users [1].

Lastly, I'm not totally sure on this last bit, but I think Docker Hub has a slight usability edge if you're on Docker EE (swarm).

Summarizing: I think big cloud vendors will naturally always lag a little behind. They'll make up for it with convenience if you're already on their cloud. Registries whose main purpose is to be a registry (like Quay) will naturally innovate a little faster.
