Corporations aren't people (dumb legal decisions to the contrary). "Shaming" doesn't really work for corporations. The solution would have to be tighter tax codes.

But our congress is highly dependent on campaign contributions, and corporations (and the individuals they make rich) can contribute. The result is that the tax code tends to be skewed in various ways.

If we don't solve campaign financing, other problems are probably hopeless.

I am new to the contracting game in the UK, but I haven't met a software contractor yet who isn't using this approach. My accountant even recommended it to me when I set up. It is definitely a non-trivial tax saving.

Do you pay yourself dividends from your company? Or do you use your profits to increase your director salary so that you pay tax at the same rate as a full-time PAYE employee?

Not meaning to call you out personally on this, but I want to highlight that "tax avoidance" is a weasel word. Most people can and do optimise their taxes if the law allows it and don't consider themselves to be "avoiding tax" or acting immorally.
I think its intended to enrich your literate senses in that, you probably could google these phrases and learn something new, while at the same time expanding your own perception of the subject of the article. I mean, there is a time and place for "I don't have time to look that up" and there is also a time and place for "I will take the time to look that up", and the only divider between is whether the source material is coming from a high-brow, intellectually stimulating source .. or not.

have you seen "Deep Dream"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCE-QeDfXtA and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgPaCWJL7XI are excellent examples.

I believe for anybody who has ever tried psychedelics seeing these was a watershed moment. It seems almost impossible that an algorithm could so faithfully reproduce the experience without somehow having recreated some fundamental structure of the human brain. That is compounded by the fact that this wasn't the result of actually trying to do so, but of an open-ended experiment of creating feedback loops in NN layers.
What's your take on gambling addiction?

Frankly, I feel bad that we are piling the heat on to this company. I think a lot of the people in this thread are frustrated and upset, and don't know where to apply their energy to start solving the problem that they are upset about. I am one of them; I had a very visceral reaction to the OP.

But I think this is a good wake up call for just how angry and frustrated we all are. We should be thanking this company for putting us over the edge. How many of the posters here railing against addictive media checked Instagram or Facebook in the same hour that they read this post? Time to start putting our money where our mouth is.
The most relevant quote:

> Third, in a recent analysis of income tax probes, the cash component of undeclared wealth in India was estimated to be only about 6%. In other words, the policy instrument was aimed at the wrong target: most undisclosed wealth is held in noncash assets. All of this data was readily available and should have given the policy makers pause.

Assuming the data is correct, demonetization was flawed from the beginning.
Most of the criticism (of Nike and Apple, for instance) isn't for breaking even the spirit of the law.

Most often the companies are acting precisely as the law is intended to work, and criticism is based on a misunderstanding of what is turnover and what is profit, and how taxes should be calculated. Very commonly the complaint is that Nike (for instance) pays no corporate income tax to a country even though it sells a lot of goods there. This is a misunderstanding: the vehicle for collecting sales-based taxes is VAT, not corporate income tax. Corporate income tax is paid where the company operates.

A major thing people don't seem to understand is that within EU, it is perfectly OK for a company operating in one EU country to sell goods and services to another country. Free movement of goods and capital.

The very foundation of EU which infuriates people.

But publishing either is a crime AFAIK. Now it's two crimes.
I am a bit confused what does sales in a given jurisdiction have to do with amount of taxes payed on profits in that jurisdiction? Apple does same thing every german company in US is doing e.g. shifting money flows in such a way as to optimize profits.
Do you really believe the fines Microsoft was ordered to pay had any effect on the direction of the company? It was on a level of mosquito bite for them. What really forced them to change in last few years is the changing landscape of the whole IT ecosystem. Their market shares dropping, because there are viable alternatives, new kinds and classes of products, the whole opensource movement etc etc. So yes, the invisible hand of market, rather then some silly fines by government.
Just try to imagine someone wanting to have the editor fill the entire screen, and designate one small pane to a terminal. I can't imagine how to do that with something like tmux and vim (other than running multiple instances of vim which is bad for its own reasons).

That's a good point. I'm not dismissing the PR and awareness value of raging about Apple.

Just hoping that the fix isn't perceived as "going after apple". Going after existing law, tax havens, etc, is more productive.
I have a few reservations about all of it: First off, you're putting your life in the hands of some code, which is totally stupid, as anyone who writes code for a living will attest (and don't talk to me about airliners and autopilots, it's no the same thing with a PILOT sitting right there who can immediately take over the plane).

Second, these stupid things will be red-lined such that you won't be able to have it take to a location other than where you're allowed to go. If you don't think that is a probable scenario, just watch as robbery gangs use them to pilfer and steal from the suburbs and see how it all goes down.

Third, and this is kind of the stealth thing I see going on here: All this subscription non-ownership is really pulling apart the basic nature of what being free and owning property is all about. I like owning my stuff because it's mine. If you've ever worked around a rental business of any kind, you know what the tragedy of the commons does to rental equipment--and for those who don't know, it gets wrecked HARD. Always. So I don't need some stealth corporate communism shoved up my anus just so Waymo or whoever can make billions.

I guess "NO OWNERSHIP" appeals to emasculated Millenials or something, dunno. I really think when these folks finally grow up they're going to be extremely unhappy about the living hell they made for themselves.
Alright here are my new loopholes to evade your amendments:
I'll set it up so that my other company in the other country is sharing profits with my main company. Maybe I'll have a family member or someone I trust actually own that company.
Perhaps this doesn't work for some reason that already exists in the tax code, but I've already met the letter of the law that you spelled out here.
Obviously that would be easy to fix with some further amendments but the problem is that this back and forth we are having is happening at a larger scale through the years. And in real life I have 10-1000 times as much money to figure out how to defeat or get around your tax codes.
I get furious that it threads conversations automatically instead of with the "reply-to" built into the email protocol.

It usually just threads emails with the same subject, but...

It sometimes doesn't thread emails with the same subject, but after someone else has replied to the first one. You have to put "Re:" in the second email, since the reply automatically added "Re:" and I guess that's too different for gmail to accept, yet...

If you try to separate your emails by environment, a completely keyword in the subject often isn't enough to stop the emails from threading.

Even if you filter and label your email by the subject lines, emails that get threaded together get all labels.

You can't even give gmail feedback like "This email does not belong in this thread". The only options are to accept their threading or turn off threading entirely.

You can't be serious.

Drugs differing by a couple thousands of a gram (mg) can severely harm or kill someone. There are some drugs measured in micrograms. And that speaks nothing of potential contaminates and cross-contamination. There's also no serious black market for theft and addictive abuse of electronics. (Not one that compares in the order-of-magnitude to the amount of drugs abused every day.)

You can say electronics should be more regulated. You can't argue (without much more talking points) that electronics are as deadly or dangerous as drugs... things you put inside your body.

And if you bring up medical electronics... we're right back to the same strict regulation that drugs have. So we don't even necessarily need more regulation of them.

I cannot count the number of times I've heard the word "Legal" in the news in the last few days. As in "everything we do is legal". What's implied is therefore ... I can do it. What I understand is : therefore... change the 'fing law. And make it very public who is blocking this change of laws. Any country such as isle of Man or Ireland can have its own laws. My country has a system where infrastructure is build from transactions. You don't want it, you cannot have access to its customers. simple on principle. Some laws can be bent to avoid it ? change them. Have issues changing them ? Please explain them clearly. Act on those & iterate.

My approach is to compartmentalise functionality. I have a dumb screen with a Chromecast plugged into it. The screen is the much more expensive part of this setup, but should last for a long time. It supports inputs which will almost certainly be usable, perhaps with dongles towards the end of its service, for at least a decade, if past tech is anything to go by.

The Chromecast could be discontinued tomorrow, but it only cost £30, so I'll just replace it with whatever. Relying on your expensive TV's probably terrible and badly supported software is madness, but it's what most people seem happy to do. It's getting harder and harder to buy TVs that are not smart, and I find it maddening.

I take the same approach with Speakers.
It depends on the bank. Essentially it boils down to whether the "foreign" bank is willing to go through the compliance and data-sharing that is impressed upon them by working with Americans. Some do, many understandably can't be bothered.

Maybe the problem is in trying at all to tax something you can't pin down, like this IP transfer between (say) Apple Germany and Apple US. I mean what should its value be? Clearly Apple Germany is nothing at all like an independent company importing phones from China to sell. Much of what they sell is the software, the image, the brand... these things don't have open-market prices. So who gets to decide what their price is? Apple's accountant? Some bureaucrat?

The much simpler solution is not to bother taxing these things you can't see. Why don't we set the corporate profit tax to zero, and then this whole argument goes away.

Tax is collected every time they sell a computer in Germany. Tax is collected every time they employ someone. Tax is collected every time someone sells shares and profits. These seem like good things to tax, as they involve actual people and take place unambiguously in particular countries. If you'd like to collect more tax, then by all means adjust the rates.
Want to prevent this ? Use your ultimate weapon, your wallet. Start boycotting Apple products (all other companies that appeared in the leak such as Nike).
Preventing Software Rot – 4 Ways to Maintain Code Quality Over Time

I disagree with mostly everything here, which surprises me since I'm usually in line with most highly voted opinion pieces on here. I'd like to say something in particular about Facebook. I maintain a strict rule of only being friends with people I care about. It allows me to keep up with my family and friends, discuss local community events and news, and keep up with the local music scene. My belief is that a lot of people hate Facebook because they don't really like the people in their life. It makes me happy seeing updates from my community and family on a daily basis. Yes, Facebook is a tech company with the intention of making money off its users, but that's the nature of the game, I don't feel this is implicitly evil. It seems like people obsess about the negative of everything these days. I choose to focus on the positive and refuse to harbor such negative feelings as the author of this post does. The world is both a horror and dream, your experience and perspective collapses that duality. Be positive. Focus on the love, not hate. Bias the collapse towards a dream.
Yes, people should not do it that way; and that has been true for far longer than systemd has even been an idea.

> This is the reason I usually recommend to pre-hash the password with something like SHA512 or SHA3. Dropbox takes this approach too.

Yes, the issue is that you have to remember to do that.

> On the other hand, 72 bytes is a lot

From my own comment:

> 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.

In two words, Gujarati (and many other SEA/Brahmic abugida e.g. Tai) is halfway there, a decent passphrase in an SEA script will blow right through.
Would it be possible to create a "Tax evasion as a service" where one can buy shares, and said company will offshore the pool of money allowing individuals to get benefits of big corporate tax?
The video of Dropbox employees trying to kick local kids off the soccer field is exactly how I picture most of the failed social interactions in Silicon Valley. Utterly clueless, then they wonder why people say they dislike them.
How does this sophistry get a pass? Google's search is dominant because it provides the most meaningful, useful results to most people. If you think this is chairs to the moon or a child's imitation, surely there is a market for you to exploit. Otherwise your argument sounds ridiculous, with sentences that together become ridiculously meaningless beyond smearing Google.
Not exactly. Keep in mind the UEFI debacle with both Intel and AMD. Having an unknown attack vector on an old TV is less than desirable.

Aside from privacy, I like to think of it similar to musical keyboards. Back when synths were primitive, it made sense to buy a keyboard that had builtin speakers, synthesizer software/hardware - a smart keyboard if you will. Nowadays, the only thing you would want is a good set of keys. That means a midi controller with a baby grand/grand like keybed. [1] Best of all, it should be a lot cheaper than an all in one. And itll be just as good in 20 years as it is now - youll just run a different synth on your computer. All in ones dont make sense for many things. It may be a trend but its an overzealous and oversold one. Ill stick with my dumb midi instruments and my dumb projector. And hopefully theyll still be with me in 5 or more years.

This is a good case study to show people look sometimes classic works better and NoSQL coined terms and techniques might work in limited scenarios.
