Taxing multinational corps is pretty difficult.

Let's say a parent company UsTech, which makes money from ads on a ubiquitous digital platform, has an Irish subsidiary UsTechDublin,LLC and a German subsidiary UsTechBerlin,GMBH. UsTechBerlin hosts a bunch of very well paid engineers who work on app performance and backend infrastructure efficiency; UsTechDublin hosts a bunch of low paid customer service reps that provide support to end users. Both offices clearly provide something of value that helps the parent company UsTech make money, but nobody has paid a (euro)cent to purchase ads from either the Irish or German offices while those offices have paid a bunch of money in salary and benefits. So, how much should they owe the tax man in each country?

That's up to UsTech. The "revenue" "earned" by UsTechDublin is an accounting-only transfer from UsTech for providing customer service. The "revenue" "earned" by UsTechBerlin is an accounting-only transfer from UsTech for performance improvements and infrastructure designs. If corporate tax rates in Germany and Ireland are higher than those in the US and UsTech accountants aren't total morons, the transfer payment to each subsidiary will be exactly enough to ensure that revenue matches expenses and there's no profit to be taxed on the books of either UsTechDublin or UsTechBerlin. If, on the other hand, the corporate tax rate in Ireland is lower than in the US and the corporate tax rate in Germany is higher then magically services of the customer service reps of UsTechDublin may be "sold" to UsTech at usurious rates while those of the software engineers of UsTechBerlin are "sold" for a pittance.

The "lost" tax revenue being claimed here is essentially saying that multinationals chose their transfer payments in such a way as to not have their profits appear in high-tax EU nations. Well … duh.

The problem is that it's hard to envision a governmental bureaucracy capable of challenging and very accurately assessing the true rates on intra-subsidiary transfers without it being breathtakingly large in scope and stifling to the functioning of the economy in question. Current rules for it [1] leave plenty of wiggle room.

Bravo, thank you.
I have an acquaintance who works for a huge manufacturer of agricultural machinery. His stories about adventurous technicians who have to parachute into remote Australian farm lands to repair a stuck self-driving combine are always nice to hear.

Are you saying Singapore Co cannot receive payments from French consumers unless they pay corporate income tax to French Govt ?

In other words, you are saying EU can deny its citizens right to buy foreign products ?

I've never played EVE but have read a bit here and there about it, and while I have no interest in playing, the epic stories that come out of it fascinate me. Is there a good place to go to find more?
This is a naive simplification. Why doesn't Infosys just copy Google and 10x its market cap? Big countries, like big companies, acquire a great deal of friction to get anything moving and institutions that make up the Goliath start getting riddled with corruption and mediocrity.

A policy change in itself can't change anything, unless, the change trickle down to the lowest level. And that rarely happens, because every level in the hierarchy has its own holes, inefficiencies, and corrupt practices.
Depends. The top 1% are playing political games, beyond even spreadsheets. A percentage finds the logistics part fun, handling excel sheets and resources and production, either for their own gains or that of their corporation or alliance. Another percentage goes for the pvp, dealing with control of their spaceship, tactics, the meta of their ship and equipment vs that of their opponents.

There's a lot to this game and it's not just spreadsheets, that's only a percentage of the game.

Seems fair to me you should pay in any country proportionally as much as you generate revenues from that country.
Where would you find these metrics? Looking at the federated timeline, I see posts appearing at a pretty fast rate (more than one per second), though most of them are in Japanese.
For those who don't speak Haskell, its worth noting that "<>" is the monoid concatenation operator. The "~>" operator returns a function type "a -> Maybe String". A function type is a monoid if its return type is a monoid, so this works.

You're fine sticking with iptables for now, if you don't experience any pain from it. ipchains has been compltely dead for well over a decade (which is why it's so ridiculous that I'd start typing an ipchains command); iptables arrived in 2001 and was on everything by the mid-2000s. The difference with that transition was that you couldn't keep using ipchains, because it was replaced by iptables. nftables co-exists with iptables.

nftables works well and has been available in mainline Linux for a few years, but there's little support for it at the distribution and tools and documentation level. AFAIK, things like firewalld and other firewall management tools don't support it yet (though firewalld will support it transparently when it does arrive, so if you use firewalld to manage your iptables firewalls, it'll probably Just Work when switching to nftables). We don't yet support it in our products (while we do support firewalld, iptables, and some third party firewall management tools like CSF have modules for Webmin).

iptables continues to be supported at all levels, so there is no urgency to switching, though nftables is clearly superior in nearly every way. It's an awesome tool, but adoption has been very, very slow. I think that's unfortunate, as it's an area where I'd be willing to learn new things. nft has really clean syntax with super powerful abstractions and hooks into the kernel.

So, if you manage a lot of Linux firewalls, or a few very complex ones, maybe you want to switch already...I would, if I were in that situation. But, I just use firewalld, because my firewall needs are minimal these days.
If I had a life to spare, I'd play EVE... I'd love to watch some kind of weekly news round up, is there anything like that?
The robots don’t have to necessarily compete with traditional farming.

They just have to make Naturland/Bioland/Demeter style organic farming (which except for very rare cases not even allow any chemical pesticides or herbicides) cheap enough that it becomes competitive.
End user here: I found out about all this when I installed Debian 9 with the lxde desktop.

Lxde brought in WiCD for wifi, which is fine, except when attempting to connect in a location with a very large number of Wifi connections available (anything over 70 different ones) it would not connect. Further investigation revealed a 'too much output' error from the iwlist scan command (this is from memory).

Worked fine at home and in most of my usual 'third space' locations of course because way less than 70ish connections.

Booting into a live USB with network-manager on it and googling lead to my discovery of the depreciation.

The key strength of the West, IMO, is, as others have said, the things you don't see. Trustworthy institutions that mean you're not always second-guessing whether or not something is as it seems.

That's why it's so important for us Westerners to be vigilant to attacks on the integrity of our institutions and systems.

Same with South Korea, which actually made a lot of money during the Vietnam war, as did Japan. Japan trade with Zeus boomed at that time, and Korea supplied 300 000 mercenaries. Before that North Korea was faring better economically than the south.

I have a couple of friends on methadone, they are cordial, relatively together and in a totally safer place than prior. I would rather that than the other so it's legitimate approach in my eyes, they have the rest of their lives to figure out when they can stop.

"Detoxifications and drug free modalities, although appealing to an understandable desire for recovery without medications, produces only 5-10% success rate. Methadone maintenance is associated with success rates ranging from 60 - 90%. The longer the people are in this modality the greater their chances are of achieving stable long-term abstinence."

I think you give too much credit to economists as propagandists. Pretty much any other kind of social scientist receives way more space in the media than economists do. And an educated layman seems way more likely to be acquainted with the Milgram experiments or with the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis than he is to be acquainted with comparative advantage. Specially today. Back in the 1970s you could have seen Milton Friedman and John Kenneth Galbraith exchange passive aggressions through their own TV series (respectively "Free to Choose" and "Age of Uncertainty"). I don't know of a contemporary equivalent.

Unless you literally mean that they're making justifications for the ruling class and have them as their captive audience. Which, I'm ... rather tempted to agree. Unfortunately, people have a self-serving bias, and like paying people to say what they want to hear.
I think it's more like "fetching and displaying various image formats is outside the purview of HTML5 canvas".

If you want to just show an image, you use an <img> tag, or just play an audio file you use <audio>. Canvas and the Web Audio APIs are for pages that want to make or mix their own images/audio. Though to be fair, html/javascript do make it easy to load image data from an image tag directly into a canvas; maybe there's a missing parallel for audio.
CrossOver Office was running Word and Excel perfectly last time I used it (admittedly, a few years ago), it likely still is.
Except in one sense, it already does.

I have some friends with blogs. Those blogs have RSS feeds. Feeds of "news", you might say.

I load up sageRSS in Firefox, see friends who have new content in bold, and get their news. A "news feed", you might even say.

Admittedly I can't easily use that to deduce that x is friends with y is friends with z, or (easily) get a map of where all of my friends went on vacation last year, but I kind of think that's a good thing.
Thanks guys for a solid piece of software.

After using ST for five years I felt like I should probably purchase a licence :) I feel guilty for not doing it sooner.
Not sure I understand. You're saying EU business' not allowed to buy ads on Google would have "exactly zero impact on google" ??
Yes it should take into account the trade volume and if you buy a significant amount there should be a penalty fee to emulate this somewhat.
Hard to guess the tone, but do you mean that in a negative way?

I think it's fantastic that MS are being forced by Mac to improve their damn OS. Mac being the only option for many people (although I love Linux) was a terrible situation.
Frankly, I don't understand the unix-like argument. I keep on hearing it from devs, but if your work happens mostly in IDEs and occasionally on the command line with tools like npm or gradle you never get in touch with potential "unix-ness" of your system.

The reason why I switched to Linux for work is its focus on power users, e.g. great configurability or well thought-out command line applications, but not because it's close to unix.
All those good things like maximizing productivity, capital utilization etc are theory based on markets with perfect competition. How many "free markets" satisfy all the assumptions made about perfect competition?

I really like these Eve stories that show off the worse of humanity! They portray a reality where there are relatively few consequences for the human, so huge risks might be undertaken. If you die, your avatar has simply died. OK, you might have invested literally months-years into forming it, but still it's not the physical unique you.

I'm afraid they would rather minimize their tax bill and maximize their lobbying bill.
You can spin up a node or use a wallet to create an account directly on the Steem blockchain instead of doing it through the Steemit webpage.
April 2015; this one looks good enough... then it explodes too.
Separation of concerns (serving http/s content and registering/renewing tls certificates) is a feature. Combining them is an appeasement for devs who think they don't need ops.

caddy wants $1200 a year minimum, for 2 instances. For $1200 I'll give you a setup script for HAProxy/Certbot that will work on infinite servers, and will keep working next year without you paying me.

This is like the weird "SaaS all the things" model taken to the extreme.

Caddy performs worse, has crazy defaults (seriously, won't start when LetsEncrypt is down!?) and wants to charge you FOREVER to use their build service, even if you only use it once and never update.

So, tell me again who their target market is?

There are infinite types of infinity not just two. The result is that they found that two types of infinity that were long assumed to be different turned out to be the same.

This is more interesting than it sounds because these infinities are in between (but possibly equal to one of) the size of the natural numbers and the size of the real numbers. There are hard limits on what can be known about such infinities in the usual mathematical framework (zfc): it's impossible to prove if an infinity which is strictly between the two exists. The hypothesis that no such​ infinity exists is called "the continuum hypothesis".

Writing this on mobile, but I hope I've made sense...
Oh, I completely agree. I don't think AA is run by bad people or anything - my disagreement is with the level of institutional support given to AA. Decisions come with opportunity costs, and the cold logic of prioritization means that sometimes the best thing to do is to give less money to "people who are doing their level best to help with a monstrously difficult problem, with demonstrable success".
Thanks - that was very fun!
This doesn't say anything at all. It says Kaspersky helped Russian law enforcement to arrest Russian cyber criminals. That's not alarming and it happens in every country.

It's possible, but it wouldn't help. The problem is all the metadata lookups, which generally take several orders of magnitude more time on Windows than they do on Linux. The Windows implementation of NTFS just really isn't optimized to act as an unix filesystem.
Well I don't see any issue repatriating taxed profits. After all they go to a different market to make a profit, right? The issue is when they don't pay their fair share of tax by using various tax evasion schemes more or less "legal".

>I am not artist and dont know how to make nice... It does matter how the whole looks to the user and linux was never really good at.

It sometimes takes a little bit of work, but it isn't that complicated. Linux is great at it, but you might have to do a little research.

This isn't news, is it? Google hates decentralization. Visa and money transfer restrictions force them to improve the areas they're based out of. Open communication makes it harder for them to control public opinion. Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google, coauthored a book, The New Digital Age, about how in the future there won't be any border restrictions and 'fake news' will be censored away. Here, I have quotes!

More effective communication across borders and languages will build trust and create opportunities for hardworking and talented individuals around the world. Bureaucratic obstacles that prevent this level of decentralized operation today, like visa restrictions and regulations around money transfers, will become either irrelevant or be circumvented as digital solutions are discovered.

Imagine all of your accounts -- Facebook, Twitter, Skype, Google+, Netflix, New York Times subscription -- linked to an "official profile." Within search results, information tied to verified online profiles will be ranked higher than content without such verification, which will result in most users naturally clicking on the top (verified) results.

People who try to perpetuate myths about religion, culture, ethnicity or anything else will struggle to keep their narratives afloat amid a sea of newly informed listeners.

Oh, and if any of you disagree with them, don't worry. They made a point of saying they can't be held responsible, and that boycotting their products or refusing to work for them will hurt you more than them.

It is, after all, much easier to blame a single product or company for a particularly evil application of technology than to acknowledge the limitations of personal responsibility.

Certain subsections of the technology industry that receive particularly negative attention will have trouble recruiting engineers or attracting users to and monetizing their products, despite the fact that such atrophying will not solve the problem (and will only hurt the community of users in the end, by denying them the full benefits of innovation.)

Don't be evil. Don't be Google.

I'm talking about iTunes, iWork, all IDEs that count with the exception of Visual Studio, Skype, the built-in apps and even Microsoft Office if you are so inclined. I've done some development in ObjC using Xcode and didn't notice the problems you mention. Must be luck.

Personally I've found my success rate with WINE to be more around 80 to 90%. In fact in the last year I've only needed to use it for for 3 different tools, all of which worked flawlessly (in fact it later turned out that one of those tools officially supports WINE for their Linux support).

My convoluted point is that it really depends on what you throw at it. Anecdotally I've found stuff that ties into DirectX to be the most awkward and since you've mentioned 3D packages I'm not at all surprised you have had less success with WINE than I.
