In a general way I guess but most of us still don't know what we're getting - Norway model, Canada model, will there be a trade deal, how much we have to pay etc. It's like you voted to go on holiday but should be able to say if it's ok or not when you find out what the hotel's like, where it is and how much it costs.

Took bad Stalin felt like he needed to match that count during his subsequent extermination of "political enemies."
Apple didn't rob anyone. They had $200B in cash they couldn't deposit in US banks, or they'd be subject to $80B+ in taxes. So Ireland offered to let them deposit those funds in Irish banks for a near zero tax rate, because it was a huge windfall for Ireland and cost them nothing.

If ireland hadn't offered, dozens of other countries would have. The EU is being scummy trying to undo a legit deal after the fact instead of ruling it can't continue in the future.
Even though he says I am not criticizing the language all he does "is" criticize all it's constructs at length. SMH. The biggest selling point of Go in my opinion is the how it allows one to get off the ground quickly. I love the language among other languages.
Our respective ideas of what constitutes complexity appear to differ. Both of your alternatives are far too complex for what I envision of less complexity. I envision a browser that browses hypertext, not a program that automatically runs third party code.

Further, I do not think of browsers in terms of "market share" nor testing for one browser or another. I guess I have done a poor job explaining the point about standards.

Testing input, e.g. a webpage, against a program, e.g. a browser, is backwards, IMO. A program should be tested against input. If the program fails given legal input, then if desired, fix the program.

The web contains plenty of legal input for a wide variety of clients. I am consuming it everyday.

This plain fact appears to be outside of Mozilla's purview. But to me, a user, this is what the "open web" means, much more so than a squabble between Mozilla developers working on Firefox and former Mozilla developers working on Chrome over some exotic feature to entice web developers.

The "open" web to me means I can retrieve information with a simple open source client I can compile, and without an overly complex web browser controlled by a corporation/organization that is by its complex nature unreasonably difficult to compile except for a select few people. That is not "open" within the meaning I subscribe to, which is more along the lines of "accessible".

The more complex the browser becomes and thus the more complex the input that web developers create for it, the less "open" the web becomes, because it becomes less accessible.

I do not expect anyone to agree with me, but I at least hope that these points make some sense.

Yeah, in no particular order here's what I love about cargo:

Seamless cross-compile. I've done a ton of cross-compile projects, cargo/rustup is the best by far.

One-line dependency import. Saves *hours* setting up build chains.

First-class win32 support. Hard to stress how rare and awesome this is coming from a gamedev background.

Integrated testing. So nice just to have.

Integrated benchmarking, ditto above.
Ahh. Good times
First of all, nothing has been settled. This is just escrow, both Apple and Ireland are appealing.

Second, what Apple did was both legal and ethical. It had $200B in cash that it had already paid taxes on to the countries where it was earned. Ireland offered them a near zero tax rate on the interest it would earn if they deposited it in Irish banks. That was a great deal for Ireland, and a good deal for Apple, and hurt no one.
The Nix folks found this bug before 10.12.0 came out; it was actually known well before the more recent bugs of infamy.

Apple just haven't done anything about it until the upcoming 10.13.2 release.
I wish you wouldn’t call it irreversible. Every large public claim of that sort has proven false. Consider the Netflix case, where the separate IMDB review dataset allowed reconstruction of pseudonymous movie watching records.

These approaches may help with compliance, but they’re the opposite of real safety.
Good luck selling that one to a judge. Let us know how it goes!
Very interesting read, although like most things HFT it just all seems so ridiculous. Why aren't exchanges just rate limited so everyone gets the same execution time? Because I have better execution time I get to profit? I don't see how that adds any value to anything...
Lowering the corporate tax rate to 20% goes along way to making the US tax system better for everyone.
Isn't that already an EU requirement?
I'm not certain if you are just being obtuse, but the entire arrangement Apple (and other companies) have set up with Ireland, is to avoid taxation inside the EU entirely, that "money deposited" is counted as a loss for other subsidiaries inside the EU and paid as "licensing fees" to Apple Ireland.

CP2000 doesn't mean all of that is income, part of that money is expense, so FD will tell IRS say you made $50,000. Then you need to say 97% $48500 is expense and pay tax on $1500. Have your records ready if you get audited. You can't avoid getting audited. Best assume you will get audited and be ready.
This is unlikely, given that not surprisingly the judicial arms of the EU typically deal in EU law, not the laws of individual member States. It's pretty rare for a supra-national body like the EU to enforce individual State level legislation, as opposed to treaty obligations or similar.

In this particular case it was a breach of EU state aid rules, Ireland's Government has been very much opposed to the decision, which is why comparisons to the IRS don't really work all that nicely. From a legal perspective it's really more a question of competition law than tax.
Ok, Apple pays the most taxes of any company in the world, and it also pays all the taxes it's legally obligated to pay.

And in the case of the Irish deal, it hugely benefited Ireland, much more than Apple.

A bit off topic, but the (not very good) novel The World at the End of Time inspired the same thoughts in me.

One of the narrators is an immortal being who can manipulate energy. He has a grand old time in his youth swimming around in the cores of main sequence stars, playing and thinking and scheming for billions of years. He manages to kill off all of his kin, ensuring his survival forever. But eventually the really desirable, hot stars start to burn out. He has to move to longer-living dwarf stars, and turn down his mental processes because they can't be completely supported with the reduced amount of energy available. The universe continues to age and the stars dim and he's forced to let go of large parts of his memory because he can't afford the energy expenditure to keep it coherent. He begins to fear for his continued survival, always hungry and searching for sources of energy. Much later, the stars have burned out to cinders and are nearly at thermal equilibrium with the - by now - extremely dim background radiation. He's terrified of black holes but their Hawking radiation is the best remaining source of energy in the universe so he gets close to a big black hole, a shadow of his former self, holding onto only a few core memories with the energy of the particles emanating from the event horizon. He hibernates for eons at a time, slowly gathering energy until he can afford a few moments of consciousness. The black holes of course eventually evaporate and he becomes effectively insensate, living off the meager energy of protons occasionally decaying.

Yeah, I don't want to live forever either.
This is a tricky situation, and I'm sure the finders fee probably shocks you ($20k + is not uncommon for tech hires in the Bay Area). And the recruiter screwed up by not having a contract between themselves and the client.

But this is "random advice from the internet" is bad advice. Do you really want to deal with a company that won't honor their word? This is absolutely a moral and ethical issue.

It is about the money. Recruiters aren't free. Developers aren't either. Companies are aware of both of these facts.

I disagree. The comment looked like an honest question. Nothing should be taken at face value, especially these days when we are also being bombarded with platitudes about breast feeding and organic produce. As a new dad, I’m inclined to believe it, but I would still want to know if it was just the fad feeling of the day or if there was any actual science behind it (if there wasn’t any science behind it, that wouldn’t discredit the idea as these things are difficult to test, though it is definitely master or PhD degree worthy).

Huh? The whole context of this discussion starting from js2's comment is about exactly how far is should be, and in particular whether 2 seconds or 4 seconds (which at highway speeds is 50 yards vs. 100 yards) is more reasonable as a rule of thumb. As you can see from my link, most government safety organizations recommend 2 or 3 seconds in good weather.

Which would be true if they were actually storing this on the cloud in a form they could access. As far as we know, they are not. That's the point of the "Secure Enclave".
Say it's $15k per child per year, and we're talking about a preschool. That means state mandated teacher ratios, depending on the state. Let's say it's 1:10, and that's on the low side. Suppose you have two classrooms of 20 children each. That means you take in 300k in tuition and you have to pay four teachers plus at least one administrator. Knock off 100k for rent, overhead, insurance, certifications, capital expenses. That leaves you with 40k for each teacher's total compensation. How far does that go where you live? Realistically, most preschools charge even less and pay their teachers accordingly.
I'm not sure if you're actually ignorant of the argument, or if you just chose to pretend you'd never heard it. But, basically, it is:

The EU has rules to prevent a race to the bottom. In the long term, they are good for every single EU country, because they allow to actually tax companies, instead of lowering taxes to around 0.01 Euros annually otherwise. Yes, Ireland may have made the best offer this time around. But a year later, it would have been Croatia or Luxembourg.

The value of having a base within the EU is shown by Apple going to Ireland, instead of 0-tax jurisdictions like the Caymans. That value, which Apple uses to create its profit, needs to be financed by taxes.

I mean this in the most non-confrontational way: have you actually used/looked at Rust?

The reason I ask is just about every item you laid out I've had the opposite experience.

Talking with C/C++ is trivial with bindgen and clang. Embedding in C++ is likewise straightforward. I mean Firefox is one of the larger C++ codebases out there. The package manager is great and makes dropping in things much less painful.

On the security front I don't think you can compare the two, I can easily think of things like iterator invalidation that C++ just doesn't handle well.

The last big project I did in Rust ran on 6 different targets(x68 win32/linux/osx, android armv7/x86, wasm) targeting 3 different rendering stacks(OpenGL, HTML Canvas, Android Views) integrated deeply with a Lua interpreter. Having done cross-platform stuff like this in the past it was a build/toolchain nightmare. With Rust everything was straightforward and pretty darn painless.

Well, the deal negotiated in the article is between Ireland and the EU, not Apple. Ireland had offered Apple a low tax rate to base there and the EU had argued it was illegally undercutting other EU countries.
That's because they're nervous about two regions declaring independence from Spain, and Scotland setting a precedent. They can't permit that and be consistent domestically.

But it's ironic that Scotland got f'd over by England taking most of its petrol resources and Scotland got pretty much jack for it. So now their balance sheet may not qualify them for joining the EU alone, not dissimilar to how Greece probably wasn't but it wasn't caught in time because they cooked their books and banks looked the other way.
This is ignorant and misleading, the only reason effective rates are lower than 35% is because of tax deferral, specifically for foreign earnings. Taxes on those foreign earnings are still owed when repatriated, but it would be foolish to repatriate them when companies would have to pay over 40% in both state and federal taxes, and their shareholders an additional 20%+ on any dividends.

Most countries don't tax their companies foreign earnings at all, so the rates don't even compare.

The real corporate income tax rate should be zero. There is no reason to tax investment, it's hugely counterproductive. Raise the capital gains and dividend tax rates to personal income tax rates, and eliminate corporate income taxes, you've eliminated double taxation and restored progressively to our tax system.

There is zero reason an 80 year old retiree living on a fixed income should be paying over 60% in taxes on her Apple dividends.
Relax. They'll do this at the embryo stage.

> while you try to figure out the arcane git command for something that I was done with in Mercurial hours ago

I sense a lot of resentment in this statement, but to be honest I have no idea what people are talking about when it comes to their gripes against Git. Little goes wrong, and when anything does, fixing it is a reflog or a reset away. I could understand being frustrated trying to jump right into it, especially with the interface as of the mid-late oughts, but it's fairly straightforward these days. The defaults make sense, and the built-in tools are consistent and plentiful. I doubt I could compose a correct filter-branch from memory, but I don't even think I could find an example for Mercurial, and I doubt the manpage would be as helpful.

The IRS makes mistakes also, e.g. your foreign tax credit gets lost. Their collections people are super understanding, it made a very stressful time much more bearable.
Generally things get fuzzy when analyzing multiple laws together, which leaves room for interpretation.

One simple hypothetical example: capital gains are taxed at 20%, unless investing is your profession, then it is taxed as income at 40%. Seems easy enough, right?

Random guy A works as a part time teacher, making $20k a year (taxed at 40%) but also makes $1m a year from investments (taxed at 20%).

It is a ridiculous example, but what is your profession? Are you a teacher, thus paying 20% on your investments? Or are you an investor, having to pay 40% on all of your gains?

You can be certain your friendly local tax authority wants to classify you as an investor. And you want to be classified as a teacher, thus paying the lower rate. But it could also be a loophole for a wealthy person to avoid taxation at 40%.

Unless they are certain they will get it right in court, there's a good chance you could make a deal and settle your dispute.
