Right, if I (in the US) buy something from Krita that was made in Russia: Kritia needs to pay the VAT when they buy the work from Russia. Then when they ship to me they get a refund of that VAT. The sum collected is zero, but a lot of paperwork had to be done correctly to get there.

A simplified explication is Krita's situation is so complex nobody in the world can figure out how to get the paperwork correct, but they are not in trouble because they didn't. Tax law doesn't care if you can figure it out how to do it right, just that you do it right.

But why not compare to other carbon free options?

A $18B budget buys a lot of solar panels. At the current price of $0.50 per W, you get 36GW. A 1GW reactor has a 80% capacity factor, solar more like 20%, so it is 7.2GW average vs 0.8 GW average for nuclear.

Of course, you need to install those panels, so you might end up with 2GW average output. And no fuel cost and minimal operation cost.

There is a reason solar installations are growing at 100% per year and existing nuclear plants are shutting down. It is economics.
This brings to light a risk of nuclear power that's rarely mentioned: that the scale of practical projects is so great that the likely cost overruns and delays make the systems politically or financially difficult to fund. Not to mention the additional risk that when/if a nuclear power station goes offline (whether for maintenance, accident, or some other kind of failure), the gap in energy production is massive. Compare that to solar and wind energy projects, which are typically smaller scale (and can be much, much smaller), built with diverse technologies in multiple locations, in small units. The risks of disruption, project failure, cost overruns, and financial failure are all much smaller.

When we are seeking solutions to growing energy demand and climate change, the likelihood and ease of fulfilling the demand has to be included in the calculations.
They've had universal healthcare since what...the 50s? And the countries seem to have only gotten richer much then. Let me know when they start declining, they are nowhere near failure yet.

The USA has already socialized 40-50% of its healthcare through the VA and Medicare/Medicaid. We also spend a lot more on healthcare and get worse results than other countries with pure universal systems, so you can't say this is about "saving money."
Nice try SEC.

At ProsperWorks, we've built the CRM that sales teams love to use. We integrate
tightly with Gmail, G Suite and RingCentral to give our users up-to-the-minute
data without a lot of manual data entry. We have thousands of paying customers,
top-tier investors, real revenue and we're growing fast.

We're looking for experienced software engineers to join us. You will work
closely with our small cross-functional teams of developers, QA analysts,
product managers and designers. We work steadily, collaboratively and
iteratively to ship software to customers every two weeks.

Our server is Ruby on Rails, our web client is Ember and we have native Android
and iOS apps. Like most mid-stage startups, we're in the process of paying down
technical debt as we build a solid foundation to serve us through our "hockey
stick" growth. We're committed to automated testing, refactoring and improving
code quality; we want every commit to leave the code a little better than we
found it while shipping compelling new features to our users every sprint.

Our interview process consists of a phone screen followed by a half day on-site
interview of three 45 minute sessions covering algorithmic thinking, system
design/architecture and hands-on coding, then a talk with an engineering manager
about culture, fit and career goals. We’re respectful of candidate’s time, so we
try to extend offers within a couple of working days.

> Bootstrap and others was a little to much Batteries Included.

Don't really agree with that as Bootstrap is also modular, especially if you use it from Sass or LESS source, which IMO is the 'right way' to use it.

(You can also make a customised build at http://getbootstrap.com/customize/ if you want to pick and choose modules but don't use a preprocessor like Sass/LESS).

I'd be ecstatic actually if they moved it to the back. I use a Pixel as my other phone (for Android dev) and the natural placement of the fingerprint sensor near your index finger is IMO a really nice feature.

That said, I don't think it'll ever happen - that placement of the sensor is so much of an Android-ism that I doubt Apple would ever allow themselves to adopt it.
In fact changing currency doesn't change tax implications if you intend to be legal. If you want to be illegal and risk not getting noticed you can hide behind bitcoin but the first auditor will notice this and report "I don't know how much, but there is tax fraud here so lets give maximum fines".
Our long-term thinking is somewhat affected by politics. From the article:

President Barack Obama’s Clean Power Plan, finalized in 2015, would have given South Carolina and Georgia credit against their state climate goals for finishing the new reactors, which may have persuaded local regulators to stick with the project. But the Trump administration is dismantling that plan.

The technologies we use vary over time with our mix of projects. Here is a snapshot of what we're using now:

Languages: Java, JavaScript, Python, Go, C#, Ruby, PHP

Was a different business model from a different time, making money directly off of selling good developer tools. Even Apple and Microsoft charged for their development tools until relatively recently, I believe.

Now open source and vendor tools have completely won that space, and its only possible to profit from developer tools indirectly. So not just Delphi, but the entire associated business model has become irrelevant.
