Did you read the comment you are replying to? Op said "I don't understand is why Amazon and Apple are getting the punishment" and you essentially said "The article clearly states that countries are ordered to enforce the punishment". You are talking past each other. The question is why the companies are being punished and why the states are not, not about the enforcement. What keeps Ireland and Luxembourg from doing this again? If the EU is going to strike down state-mandated tax deals, why not just require the tax deals to have approval from them in the first place?

> is not "launch an application which interacts on the console or opens some windows"

Actually, the standard end-user experience is to launch an application which interacts on the console or opens some windows.

(There'll be some system startup methods which define what happens when the image launches -- don't open the development environment windows, open the application windows).
Organizational coherency?
If you're willing to give up on client-side apps (and deal with a Microsoft stack), MVC5+EF+server-side-kendo can be magical (you'll need to customize EF's TT file so that it scaffolds a grid for each type, and produces MVC validation attributes for the create/edit pages), then just scaffold DB-first, tie it into an auth DB for logins, build your layout, menu and theme. It won't be pretty. It won't be React. It will work.
I cannot speak for the original poster, but I found that many who came in were not interested or did not understand technology. They came in with 'reputation' (worked for IBM in project management, etc) and were probably hired for it. There was little on the job understanding and no effort to understand the how's and why's of the product. What was important to them was that 'project schedule lines' could be filled in regularly. They had no context, and were rarely interested in why something was missed, but were eager to fill in the next column which was 'Expected Completion Date'. When feature requests came in from a client it was pushed down without consult to the overall project; they basically did not like saying 'no' to a client.

The company was a tech company but the people with influence were ignorant of general SW development practices. If a project manager did not cut it, they were replaced with another one just like the previous one. Tech had little input on the next choice - after all, it was the project managers dept. I suspect there are good PM's with a tech bent, but they are hard to come by.

I hope you can make a difference by hiring and encouraging others PM's who do want to improve and understand the technical environment they are in, and not just live on the 'project schedule line'. Spend a day with support, spend a day with QA, talk to an engineer and find out why one task on your schedule is dependent on the other. It will make for a better cohesive team with common goals (and ideally less departmentalism).

Are "you" Apple or Ireland?

If you are Apple, yeah, as long as you can keep using Ireland as you proxy, you are 13bn better out and will not face any penalty.

If you are Ireland, you weren't paid that much (it's actually your refusal to get paid that was the problem in the first place), and you will be fined once you've lost the lawsuit. (For the record, the fine will be a detraction on funds paid by the EU to Ireland.)

But hey, if the Irish citizens are happy to subsidize both Apple and EU coffers, I guess it's a win-win in someone's book. I personally don't think it's the smartest approach...
Serious question: at what point do we reach the "everyone is vulnerable so no one is vulnerable"?

EDIT: Or maybe not "no one is "vulnerable", but just that everyone's information is assumed compromised and our current societal infrastructure accounts for it.

> They both depend on the arbitrariness and non-generality of a company-specific tax ruling.

Thats an opinion not a fact. The case has yet to begin in court.

IMO Apple did not get any special treatment. Basically all you need is a country like Ireland where an onshore incorporated become non-resident if controlled offshore [1]. And Ireland must be not be considered as tax haven [2] by USA [3] otherwise Apple Sales International would be taxed as per USA laws whether Apple USA repatriates or not.

[1] This was true until 2015.

[2] IIRC Ireland must be considered tax-fair country. Obviously a more strict condition.

[3] Now here Ireland enjoy the benefit of single USA-EU tax treaty.
You guys should consider donating to the International Anti-Poaching Foundation[0][1] which fights these poachers. The founder, Damien Mander[2], is an Australian ex spec-ops sniper who is using his military experience to train the park rangers since they, unlike the poachers, tend to be poorly equipped and trained as well as understaffed.

There is also the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust[3][4] which takes care of elephant and rhino orphans (most of them are orphans due to poaching). For $50 a year, you can become a sponsor of a particular animal and they'll send you photos and updates about how your sponsored animal is doing. You can for example sponsor these cuties [5][6]. It's a good gift.

The things you describe are just forms of insurance that are not considered must-haves by most people, but are sometimes chosen by super wealthy people for the same reason anyone chooses to insure anything.

As a German this reminds me of the good old times where we had such a wall straight through the country - in particular, straight through Berlin. The towers were also kind-of remote controlled, but the commands were executed by humans rather than machines.

</sarcasm>

Depending on your point of view, that wall protected the outside from the inside, the inside from the outside, or the inside from the inside.
1.7 DMIPS/MHz seems to put it in the range of Cortex A5, maybe Cortex A7. But it also targets significantly higher clock speeds of 1.5GHz, so it may be faster than Cortex A7 in the real world. Probably not faster than A53/A35, but it should be close enough. Plus it has some additional features.

What may hurt it more in the market is the name. Most companies seem to underestimate its importance. U54-MC Coreplex doesn't exactly roll off the tongue...That means it's that much easier to ignore and forget about it. Hopefully whatever SoC will use it will have a better name.

Never heard of this, probably because in my state it doesn't apply. In 42 out of the 50 states (excluding California, Hawaii, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Montana and Virginia [Oregon has no sales Tax]) however, this does apply.

Still though, the example is a good one. You're trading your data for a service. There isn't anything to tax.
I think it would help if we understood what kinds of things they're accomplishing through email, meetings, etc.
Which is what in this particular case? Elephants for zoos? I'm against zoos but the way these Chinese zoos are going about this is extremely cruel. It's very likely that these elephants will die when separated from their families. And the conditions they will be living in are alarming.

totally agreed. the best way to learn vim is slowly. teach your self one thing a day and use it all day. if you keep using it great, if not move on to the next thing. otherwise you get brain overload and someone is trying to teach you how THEY use vim and you don't create your own style.

Well actually the US published a white paper [1],on how the EUs interpretation (not a change in law) changed when it benefitted hem to go after Apple.

Do What you love but Always Share what you do(testing)
I think the 'way too plugged-in to email' is what bugs me. I'm the recipient of _hundreds_ of PM emails a day. As an engineer it's easy to see this as lots of talking and little doing. But you're right, it's probably a result of not being able to have more tangible results.

Blockchain seems like a brilliant solution when multiple anonymous untrustworthy parties need to get together and agree.

But to the point of this article, most situations aren't like that. You have identities, contracts, and trust at least as much as can be enforced with the legal system.

I have also seen a lot of over-application of blockchain to "standard" banking problems. I guess it's real value will depend on whether or not it's successful in "decentralizing all of the things". If that doesn't happen, then it may just be a very cumbersome way of doing something we already knew how to do.

Personally I think of the lack of features in i3 as a feature (was going to check out sway when I get some time, seems nice).

I like being able to configure my computer my own way.

EDIT: Not that i3 lacks features, I've not found much I couldn't do with it. But it doesn't come packaged with a lot of other software like a DE does.
> It's weird to think that you'd be interested in living for centuries or longer in a world that has seen everyone before you die

When you consider that humans are just primates that evolved from a process known as "survival of the fittest" - it's really not that weird at all. Thinking of people in terms of wild animals makes our actions much more explainable.

But I think this is a good example of "perceived" injustice. The idea that someone may live indefinitely - at zero expense to you - makes you feel depressed.

It reminds me of the iconic kindergarten rule "if you can't bring enough for the whole class, don't bring it". Because there's always that one kid that will put up a tantrum if he can't also have a snack.

I think this is why many socialists identify with this article and also have depression. Like a kindergartener, they see what other people have and they want it. They think it's unfair that someone is wealthy while not everyone is. Then they "unselfishly" want to take and redistribute what wasn't theirs. Hence the "oh I'm so unselfish and depressed because I'm such a good person" type posts.
Most of them sound like they might have a large amount of false positives if turned on for an existing code base (a "false positive" in this case would be a case where you would dismiss the warning after investigation). A large amount of warnings that don't point to "actual problems" causes people to ignore or overlook the actually important warnings.

(I'm not saying that these warnings are pointless, but you can have a bug-free code base that triggers a lot of these)

Amazon and Apple are not being punished, i.e. they are not fined or sanctioned. They are simply asked to pay the taxes they were legally required to pay.

Ireland gave them a tax deal it did not have the authority to give. So the deal is void and the taxes must be paid. Imagine a mayor in a US city giving a company a deal whereby they don't pay state and federal taxes and only pay a low municipal tax. Do you think IRS would accept this justification from the company and forgives all the taxes they failed to pay?

I've thought about switching to tmux for all the nice features it has but to be honest I stick with GNU Screen because it's built in. I rarely spend much time on the same server, I tend to hop machine to machine a lot in my job. So installing and configuring new software starts to take up a lot of time, and most of the servers I use are client servers, not mine.

Same thing with vim customizations or bashrc files. I learn to love the defaults and fit my workflow around them because in two months I'll be on another server and would have to reconfigure everything to fit my workflow otherwise.
I can understand personally not waiting to live over an arbitrary age, since that's a subjective feeling. It just seems weird to consider it an universal point and deem everyone who doesn't to be morally defective. What's the objective basis for that?

Honest question: Are these warnings smart enough to fire only against "raw" source code? Many of the first few I could see happening from macro expansion and it would be nice to just let those go without warning and let the optimizations hopefully pick up the pieces. Or is that some of the false positives these bring up that were referenced?

Also: incoming comments about the name of the db.
They are not being fined. EU decided to retroactively tax Amazon more. Amazon is required to payback the taxi that EU suddenly decided to charge even though Amazon legally worked with a country to come up with that taxing scheme.
I'd argue that text objects are by far the biggest advantage vim has over other editing models. From my experience they are pretty easy to learn for programmers.

Moving Forward by Letting Go
Yeah, you get to be someone's boss (as in telling them what to do) without all the icky parts of actually being a manager. The structure of tech companies now is so bonkers, the person who tells you what to do isn't your manager, and your manager is really just there for, I dunno, moral support and to give you a performance review every 6 months even though they don't actually work with you.
some have a lot of false positives (even some in -Wextra have had false positives due to bugs), so if you compile with -Werror (as you should do) it can be troublesome.

When GSA was hacked and life-threatening personal information on security-cleared government employees was leaked, the public reaction was: eh. Compare this to Equifax, where the intrusion was less successful than at GSA, but which may nevertheless cease to exist, and whose entire leadership will likely be replaced.

I think the reality is: people have seen and therefore expect government tech systems to be awful and vulnerable. And people have seen and therefore expect private tech systems to be relatively better.
