Google ads and analytics inject JavaScript which means they can insert iframes for any domain they want. If they injected <iframe src="https:// teachablemachine.withgoogle.com/spyonuserwithcamera" /> they'd be able to use your camera from the ad or analytics without asking for permission again.

Of course I'm not suggesting Google would actually do that but some other company might make seeamazingcamerameme.com to get users to turn on there camera for that domain and then after that make iframes for seeamazingcamerameme.com/spy

You shoulf have a buffer of about 3-4 months money put away. You may not need it but there is always a significant delay between doing the work and actually getting paid.

After that, just have the confidence to push for it, to ignore the recruiters who will tell you you won't be able to - they just want the commission for placing you in perm work - yeah. I waited until I had about 12 years experience. I don't think I needed to wait that long.

Lets go through this one by one:

In addition you have to be able to program in Python, Java, JavaScript, C.

This is objectively false.
To expect a junior developer to know all these is unrealistic, plain and simple. If you have working knowledge of one or two programming languages and have an appetite to learn you are good to go.

You also have to understand data structures like linked lists, queues, b-trees..., and to top it all of understand algorithm analysis to judge the efficiency of the code you write or look at.

For 99% of the work out there, this is also not true. This is the horse crap that is fed to everyone so that folks can ask questions that have little to no relation to day to day development. If you are doing web development, then some knowledge of database query optimization will come in handy.
But I don't remember the last time I had to figure out how a linked list worked whenever I was doing any server side or front-end optimization.

Also, I've seen discussion of "fat-shaming" elsewhere ITT, and I think it's relevant, but shame isn't the right word. Seems like Asian cultures are frank about discussion of weight (and salary, and other things), but without the taboo of talking about it there isn't the associated shame of being talked about, in my experience.

Like data in general, user data is essentially worthless until aggregated en masse and refined into insights. But when you consider how much data companies are hoarding, it doesn't take much of an assessed value to create a nontrivial taxable asset.

Also, it doesn't matter that there's an exchange happening. Sales tax and income tax are assessed on fair exchanges of goods, services, and currency.
I just ran into a company who has updates disabled on all Windows PCs, leaving them as the stock install. Their IT got defensive about it very quickly when I asked them to allow us to update the PC they were running our software on. They don't handle consumer data, but they have their own set of problems which could come from a data breach.
Agree with the sentiment, but at the same time understand the rationale - FFI implies alot of GC/memory internal interfacing stuff, and to some extent expects a c-based implementation (not e.g. JVM,CLR,etc).

If r7 & library interface are widely adopted, some flavors of FFI could evolve within the library/srfi process and gradually become defacto standards..

Probably hoping too much.. but in any event..

>there's something inherently unsafe about it, so users forfeit all their rights to safety

I absolutely hate when this happens via regulation.

Consumers should be presented the information required to choose for themselves. If people aren't making the choice other people want them to make then incentives and presenting information that pushes people toward the "right" choice is still better than legislating what a product must do.

Let people choose but incentivize the right choice.

>But this is not about plundering US companies

Starbucks, Apple, Amazon, McDonald's...do you notice a pattern? The suggestion that the Commission is not targeting big US companies is comical (especially in the light of similar actions with other justifications, like the 2.7b fine on Google for their shopping search), as is their interpretation of both tax law and illegal state aid.

The commission doesn't even challenge the transfer pricing laws, they just interpret them differently and based on their interpretation they decide that the tax authorities have granted a selective advantage. The procedure is completely arbitrary as its entire basis is the disagreement between the commission and the tax authorities. Given the complexity of corporate structures and tax law, and the inherent ambiguities of things like transfer pricing, such disagreements can be generated wherever the commission wants to find them. If they wanted to target Chinese companies it would be trivial to conjure up similar issues.

It's particularly ironic that a law against selective treatment of corporations is being used to selectively punish some of them.
The EU is based on a legal system that believes that the spirit of the law, if it is obvious, is above the letter of the law (and also it doesn’t have precedents, all courts can reinterpret law again, if you want to change something, you need to rewrite the laws).

As a result, this is completely justified – Amazon and Apple broke the spirit of the law with a technicality.
Qt Designer for instance is extremely useful to quickly put together an interface and even connect it to code via signals and slots. It generally pays off to go as far as possible purely using Qt Designer and add GUI code only when needed. If a similar tool could be created for React that would be great, but yes it might be hard for a one man project to get to this point of usefulness.

Okay, so lot's of praise for a language. But I have three questions that aren't answered by the article:

1.) How fast are programs written in Pharao?

2.) Is it possible to write complete and halfway modern looking desktop end-consumer GUI applications in Pharao?

3.) How good is it at parallel programming (i.e. multicore support, not just concurrency with green threads)?

I'm always interested in learning a new language, if not just for fun. Currently my new language on the Todo list is Nim. However, I do not want to take a look at a language for which the answer to all of the above questions is "Meh".

I agree that taxes are amoral, not a matter of moral consideration. Companies cannot be expected to pay more than legally required, as their competitors would be doing the same. It would be immoral to expect them to follow anything else but the legal requirement.

> Let's say someone buys $1B worth of junk, has expenses like salary etc of $1B, does something with it and sells products and services worth $2.2B. Do they pay taxes on $2.2B or on $0.2B? I think we can fix some kinds of tax dodging by taxing the $2.2B.

That does not quite add up .... let's say the tax rate is 20%. The tax on $0.2B is $40m, the tax on $2.2B would be $440m, which would mean the company is making a $220m loss. But not only that, say the salaries are $1B then the government would $200m in double taxation, maybe socialise the loss and take $200 million from the workers salaries.

Then not only that, lets say the $1B of junk is made in the same country as the above company, the government would make another $200m by taxing them. That is a little regressive.
