I'd say you're right. I've been coding for about 6 years and only submitted my first PR on GitHub earlier this year. It was pretty confusing and I think I did some things wrong. I've been using git for about 5 years but there's a whole culture thing around OSS on GitHub I didn't (don't?) understand.
I don't get why people think paying more taxes is "moral". There are a lot of things the government spends on that I don't agree with...and I'm sure I'm not alone on this.
I worked at a distributor throughout college and the week a drug went generic was party time. The company would ship more of a recently genericized drug in that week than they had until that point. Dropping to ~25% the original price is the average but sometimes it would be 10% or less.
I can think of two things the entire company has done that stick in my mind:

* Ban Rose McGowan.
* Changed the T&Cs so that famous people can threaten to murder people.
In nearly every subfield of computing, along nearly every metric, most people would kill for a 20% improvement.

A processor 20% faster would dominate the market for years. A new compression algorithm that was 20% smaller would be either copied or used by every archiving system. And yes, a website reduced by 20% is significant.
>>> Interesting perspective. I am curious about why the country you are going to pays more than the one you are coming from in software

Are you asking me why some places pay more than others? I don't think I have the expertise to answer that correctly honestly, it's probably a multitude of factors.

But I don't think it's cultural (or mostly cultural) since it happens within countries too. Silicon valley pays more than the Midwest, London pays more than Birmingham. I don't know why exactly but it's undeniable that they do.

>>> Why not try to instill these cultural mechanisms in the country you came from?

Because I don't think it's cultural. And even if it were... Why would I do that? My family is more important that some vague notion of changing cultural mechanisms.

>>> Also I don't think people should migrate for purely financial reasons. There is a lot of rich and interesting cultures in this world - it would be a shame if people just abandoned them for the sake of money

Sorry to be blunt, but it's not your choice. People's lives and priorities are their own to make.

This sounds too much like airmchair philosophy. It's great that you can do it but it's not "just money" for the vast majority of people, rich country or not.
The Booming Japanese Rent-A-Friend Business
It is a bit of a "would you really do that in production?" type hack, but there is a pure JS compile of SQLite3 that you could use: https://github.com/kripken/sql.js/

Possible problems:

* Nearly half an MB of library to add to your project which might be a concern on mobile (~2.1MB uncompressed.

* It handles the whole DB in memory rather than trying to use any sort of local storage as a block store, which pumps up memory use (again, mobile user may particularly find this an issue) and to persist data you have to pickle the whole DB as a single array (which could be a significant performance issue if the data changes regularly and is not very small) and reload it upon new visit.

* Concurrency between multiple tabs/windows is going to be an issue for the same reason.
We're definitely interested in Korean support. I hope we can get some contributions for this in the next few months.

My understanding is that there are actually some very good Python libraries for Korean NLP? It's now much easier to provide annotations via another library. This is how the Chinese and Japanese support is working at the moment. We'll add "native" models for all of these languages, but for now you might want to wrap some of these resources: https://github.com/datanada/Awesome-Korean-NLP

People certainly pick a car anywhere, but in areas with great public transportation the percentage who do is greatly reduced, even if the reasons why those that do remain largely the same.
Well first of all thank you for your reply and actually getting involved in the thread.

I have to say, I'm not convinced.

Yes of course if you say that your product is similar to a what a drug dealer would offer, then people are going to get interested because of the potential for returns on their money. You're just confirming my suspicion that branding things this way was in order to help get investment. I don't see how you are being contrarian. What is the popular opinion you are rejecting? That addiction is scary/harmful/a terrible thing to inflict on others?

You're in a tricky position now as I personally don't see how you can reverse course on presenting the company this way (after thinking about it for a couple of minutes :) )... but I hope you can figure it out!
The TimescaleDB crew built a Prometheus-PG adapter [1]. TimescaleDB, and consequently Postgres, is an option I am exploring. Does a developer realize any benefits of 2.0 if the Prometheus database isn't used as a backend?

I think code is always understandable without highlighting. It's just harder. It's like text is almost always understandable without proper casing but it's harder to read.

The first alternative to highlighted syntax is an IMAGE with the same code, with highlighting.
Because a committee at IBM said so.

That said, the Bold is very, very heavy, and the Thin is very, very light. But I see nothing wrong with the Sans in Medium (taking the place of bold, usually), the Text (it's not bad) and the Extralight (if you really need that, which you probably don't.)

I also see that they banned #0 black text, presumably because they are elite. That's why all my browsers have Reader extensions now.
Legibility? Just speculating, but websites get used in more diverse ways than most media; books do not need to look good across every screen size from 3 to 300 inches. So it's probably wiser to be more conservative.
The problem is that we have a government body that can be bought and influenced by the private sector. If government powers were limited in scope, there would be no incentives for lobbying.

It's perverted that companies reach a point where it's more profitable to lobby or find ways around laws rather than continuing to spend on production or other business costs.
> The Argon2 vs. bcrypt thing is unhelpful. It does not matter what password hash you use, so long as you use a hash designed for password storage (ie: not "salted SHA-2"). Bcrypt is fine.

Does it not have the issue that it will silently truncate passphrases beyond 72 bytes? As far as I can tell OP does not check for that and the Go API they use makes no mention of it and was affected at some point[0].

72 bytes is not a very high limit when SEA abugida use roughly as many symbols as western alphabets per word/phrase but each symbol takes 3 bytes (assuming UTF-8) rather than one.

For instance "Gujarati script" is 15 codepoints and 15 bytes but and "ગુજરાતી લિપિ" ("Gujarati script" in Gujarati) is 12 codepoints and 34 bytes.

Even fairly trivial codephases are at risk, XKCD's "correct horse battery staple" is 28 bytes but translated to Gujarati (via gtrans) it's 60.

No need to be asked. The browser sends the Accept-Language header depending on the language set in the browser's settings, which defaults to the OS language for the browser installed by default (other browsers will ask at installation).

In other words this header is the most reliable piece of information to know what language the user wants. Somehow big tech decided IP geolocation is more reliable.

Ah, yes, I think you're right - why do companies use the same model numbers over again. Do they really have more than 26000 models, or whatever.
On thing I wonder about all these proponents for Apple to voluntarily pay more taxes: do they themselves pay more taxes than strictly required of them?

I mean do they not take advantage of that child exemption? Do they not deduce that mortgage? Those medical costs? That college tuition? Those business expenses? Do they decide to voluntarily add at least 1% to their income tax bracket?

Do they practice what they preach?

Is there anyone who's moved overseas and quit Facebook, and benefited from it?

Because for me it's my primary link between my home country, where I live now, and all my other international friends. Sure, I could use email to keep in touch, but the problem with email is that it's an active communications medium, unless you have a mailing list and email everyone what you're up to, you don't keep up to date with what your friends are doing.
'S funny how ships - moving stuff around - generated merchant wealth for quite a few republics, from Athens and Carthage to Venice and the Hanseatic League.

At the core of many of these tax avoidance schemes is wholly owned subsidiaries making intra-group loans that are treated differently in different tax jurisdictions.

Imagne there is subsidiary X & Y in jurisdiction. In jurisdiction A the parent company declares those two subsidiaries should be considered a single entity, in jurisdiction C the parent company declares they should be considered separate.

This allows intra-group loans between those two subsidiaries (and other subsidiaries outside jurisdiction C) to appear and disappear from the accounting as necessary for the purpose of tax avaoidance.

Whilst the declared company structures are perfectly legal in jurisdiction A and C the fact that the parent company has declared different corporate structure for the same entities is deeply suspicious as an activity.

I love the attention to detail in the document, lots of thought has clearly been given to legibility and structure. It's a great read regardless of which font you ultimately use.

I do question the 75 characters per line, though - is it just me or can that be a tad too short for body text if a larger font size set the width somewhere?

Also, on a funny note: the very last image of the page shows a sample of IBM Plex Mono... And uses "fancy" ldquo/rdquo in code. Clearly not enough developers were consulted in drafting this document!
Why not people wanting to shape their own behaviour? Nudges to exercise more from an exercise app I've installed is hardly diabolical.
That free parking increased Ireland's economy by nearly six fold in a mere 25 years. It took Ireland from a second tier economy, to a first tier economic power ($300b in GDP with a mere 4.7m people). From sub $15,000 GDP per capita in 1993, to surpassing the US in GDP per capita at $62,000.

You can tell it's the large foreign corporations causing it, because of the big gap between the growth in domestic income and the headline GDP figure. However those companies still employ a lot of people and pay taxes Ireland otherwise wouldn't have.

Huge companies like: Mylan, Alkermes, Medtronic, Allergan, Johnson Controls, Accenture, Intel, Google, Apple, etc. would have likely not set up shop there if not for the tax policies. One can say, in response to that: fine, let them leave, we're better off -- except the Irish economy would get cut in half if you pushed them out by raising corporate taxes significantly, poverty would increase dramatically, unemployment would skyrocket.
The problem is I don't want to find relevant results. If results I looking for are relevant, than I need not a great search engine to find them. If I know what I want to find it would be pretty simple to find them with grep over internet.

If I want to find local takeaway pizza, than all I need is to find where am I, and then to add my location to a request. Probably I wish to use not the text prompt search engine, but maps.google.com or some other tool dedicated to searching for local things.

But if I'm trying to find basic information on topic not common for me, than I would have troubles with personalized search. And the worst case happens when I don't realize than I'm looking for information that is not common for me: when I know this fact I can do something with search query to make it uncommon and to hope that it will break personalization, but if I don't know I would do nothing special, and I will risk to miss a whole segment of Internet which contains heaps of information relevant to my needs. It is the same story as with FB and political views of users but at wider scale.

It is really hard to find something new for me. I use DDG for several years for this single reason. I have no strong emotions to ads, because I use NoScript and uBlock: ads are not a problem. But narrow results space is a problem.

> Do you really want countries with low outcome equality vs. equality of opportunitity

This is a commonly given argument, but does not apply to the US -- it's nowhere near a country of equal opportunity. I'd be more open to the argument if you'd include items like no inheritance and no private schooling, to really give a more equal footing -- but I'm guessing these are not up for discussion. Thus, a certain amount of outcome equalizing is absolutely necessary.
I'm pretty sure there are enough people that voluntarily give up their medical privacy AND want to go to space.

If you don't want to disclose your medical record, fine.
But don't expect others to funnel billions into you just to make your dream of going to space come true.

Public utilities are not necessarily government entities; they can be privately owned.

This is conspiracy theory masquerading as a political strategy. The judgement on demonetization should be withheld for couple of years, the banks while accepting old cash collected substantial amount of information before giving new cash. This is going to be a busy year for tax man in India and so will be the next one. Even though most of the money made back into system, there are enough breadcrumbs to triangulate bad actors and black money. Expect some drastic policy changes with real estate, corporate taxation and gold.
>train: 51 minutes (4 minutes walking from home to station + 30 minutes average wait till next train + 5 minute train ride + 12 minutes walking to work).

I do understand and do have those use cases, but aren't they exceptions? Moreover, I was referring to driving, not taking a taxi (perhaps I should have been more clear). What I meant was "driving my own car is my primary, everyday mode of transport, regardless of congestion: hour and a half there, an hour back, never mind that I could have made the round-trip an hour faster by public transport. I'd rather be dead than be seen on the tube, EVER."
> How does a NOBUS vulnerability cost them plausible deniability? To prove it's their vulnerability, you have to know the private key that matches a public key.

Of course not. If the public key came from the intelligence community and is a possible vector for attack, then a successful attack implicates them as the likely holders of the private key. BTW, "plausibility" doesn't imply "proof".

> If you're setting up a honeypot, why would you use an extremely complex cryptographic vulnerability?

Because of it's complexity, the honey pot is less suspicious to your adversary. If you compromise a 3rd party, then install a straightforward vulnerability, that raises flags. But letting your adversary compromise the system using the same vulnerability as you is perfectly natural.
People usually feel (don't think) that it's moral for OTHERS to pay more taxes. They also feel (don't think) that's moral for themselves to pay less. It's called socialism.

> The point about Apple hiring best graduates who got their education mostly free of charge cause of all the tax payers really shift my mind about the whole tax-avoidance thing.

Yes, that's true, but another angle is, that when the corporation profits are very high, let's say $40B yearly, then at 20% profit tax they should pay $5B. And that looks like a too high, government didn't spend nearly that much on providing stuff to Apple, per year (it's like $500K per one employee per year, if the company has 10K employes, for example).
When I was riding my kick scooter, I had this recurring thought: What would my trajectory be if I would to roll my steering handle by 180 degrees?

As the "editor-in-chief of the Süddeutsche Zeitung, Germany’s leading daily", why not do something?

I don't mean complain, that's already happening, I mean actually do something.

For example, ban all Apple products from the paper. Lobby the German government to ban all Apple products until Apple pay a sufficient amount of tax. Use the paper's influence to get people to stop using Apple's services. That sort of something.

If not, then why not? Is it possibly that you don't really care? It's just a fun story that helps circulation a bit. Or, maybe, that you don't believe that you'll get much support and having a campaign that fails is bad for circulation?

Possibly it's because this would have a direct negative effect on you and yours and, well, we wouldn't want that.

Personally, I'm fine if you don't do anything but complain as protecting your circulation and your convenience is a perfectly reasonable thing.

But don't be surprised that nothing changes.
It does not. Here's an Github issue I've created almost 2 years ago...

https://github.com/adam-p/markdown-here/issues/327#issuecomm...
What if governments of large countries such as Germany (or the whole EU) would base the corporation tax simply on the total profit, divided by the revenue share of the country?

For large public multinational corporations it is very easy to approximate how much they should pay in any country, when you just wouldn't accept the transfer pricing tricks that they use to move the profits around.
You obviously misread it. Try again.
Moving abroad, I now fully understand the feeling behind "Taxation without representation is tyranny".
Apple do pay their taxes just like you for everything they sell in the US. It's what they sell outside of the US that they don't pay, but they do pay in those other countries. The biggest unfair advantage they have against you is if you sell to overseas markets (you're paying US tax, not them) but if your market is US only then Apple isn't paying less than you are.
Thanks to @syllogism for spacy. It’s one of those tools which make Python the go to language for NLP.
Genuine question. Are there actual large, profitable companies which are tax responsible? I.e. companies that follow ethical accounting practices to minimise their tax and none of the dodgy off-shoring stuff

By default, big companies always get preferential treatment from governments. Open a mega-factory? They get tax cuts, cheap real estate, free utilities. Why? Those shiny new jobs look great on a politician's resume for the next election...

What does the little business guy get? A letter of "don't forget to pay your taxes in full or else"

It's time to accept the fact that governments are NOT a fair and impartial warden of the economy. Therein lies the problem. Reducing their power of meddling in the economy is the solution.

Ok great now I'm going toe the lines of the definitions of "sell", "product", and "service" to the point where even though in spirit the sales are all happening in your country, technically they aren't so you can't tax me for them. So again your country is fine if it's the only one in the world, but there only needs to be a single country in the world which lets me get away with fewer taxes and then I can avoid paying yours.

I agree that the hard part is coordination, but I stand by my belief that we will never see change on this issue unless a major multinational company decides to take it on for PR reasons. Which will only happen if there is pressure from the government, media and consumers.
