I don't think I agree with that. There's no reason to suggest Google's current actions[1] (hiding billions of dollars in offshore accounts) maximizes shareholder value. They could, instead, either invest that money in ways that bring shareholders returns or even pay out dividends to shareholders directly. Both methods which would generate shareholder value and improve the US economy, which is also good for shareholders.

Instead they're hoarding the money offshore in what looks like a figurative dragon in a cave hoarding shiny things. To my knowledge, hiding cash under your mattress has never been a wise investment strategy.

[1] Note: Plenty of other companies do this too. Apple, Microsoft, etc. all have played tax games, even just in the tech industry. Though I find the level of disparity between Google's public statements about how it thinks things should be, and the statements of employees who seem to think they improve humanity by working there, and the actual realities of Google's business operations bordering on the comical.
They seem to be the choice of everyone I know who is privacy-conscious enough to use a paid VPN but doesn't care enough to shop around and do in-depth comparisons.

I bought EFX after the incident and made a bundle on it too, but I don't share your outrage.

Does the breach call for some punitive response? Definitely. Does it justify destroying a $14B company? No. That's an overly emotional, witch-hunting type of response.

HN of all places should be sympathetic to what happened to Equifax; they neglected to update a framework which had a vulnerability granting full remote code execution. That's game over from an info sec standpoint, and how many developers here can state, with 100% confidence, that every library and every framework and piece of application code in their own work is totally bulletproof and will never fall victim to something similar?

The breach should be used by everyone as a lesson, and as I stated earlier Equifax should receive some punitive action (arguably already delivered by the hit to their stock price and the public floggings from the congressional hearings). But saying that Equifax should be bankrupted by it, or that the executives or developers should be thrown in jail? Be careful what you wish for. Today Equifax, tomorrow you.
Yes, plenty. Kinkos is one, I believe
I said SEEK the truth. That doesn't mean you'll attain it. But a journalist still seeks it. Why? Because that is journalism.

A reporter on the other hand parrots the press release spin that's fed to them. They gladly roll over and play stupid. They don't seek. They regurgitate. They do softball interviews. They skip the real questions. They can't be bothered. They also, because it's cool and prestigious call themselves journalists.

These reporters aren't real journalists any more than the bagels at Dunkin Donuts are really bagels.

Well, yes I can create isochrones myself indeed.

Handling these kind of services takes a lot of time, especially if this is only a sub-part of a more generic product.

Thanks for the alternatives though
To the vast majority of users a virus is anything that's adversely affecting their system, should we use that definition too? The vast majority of people call the common cold the flu (around here anyway), should doctors change the definition of influenza to the layman one?

Just how many of his eggs does he
need to keep in that one basket?

Many executives receive very high total compensation, but structure it in a certain way as a sort of fig leaf to pretend it's in the shareholder's interests.

For example, instead of being paid $12,000,000 a CEO might pay themselves $2,000,000 in cash and award themselves $10,000,000 in stock. The fig leaf in that case is that it aligns his incentives with those of shareholders. There's totally not a principal-agent problem here, honest!

Selling all $10,000,000 of shares kinda reveals that fig leaf for what it is: giving himself the shares was never about aligning his incentives with shareholders - he just wanted the cash.

If shareholders' interests were represented competently and in good faith, you'd expect a very different incentive structure.

There is an enormous amount of hate directed at JIRA that is a side effect of customizations created by admins. People abuse the customizability and their own internal users suffer the consequences.

Atlassian's own public issue tracker is using a near-default issue display screen. Nothing is "below the fold" for me on this issue and on a small monitor:

Google isn't using or investing this money. They're hiding it in a bank account in Bermuda. Whereas, if it was brought into the US, it would both get taxed (with which the government could help pay for things like your healthcare), but Google could also invest it or spend it here in the US, improving our economy.
Have you looked at https://github.com/Peaker/git-mediate ?

I have never paid more taxes (that I'm aware of) than I am legally obligated to and I never will.

Your list of conditions for rationally paying more taxes hinges on so many assumptions that it's a moot point. You might as well say it's rational to burn money in a fire.

If you have more than you need, and you know that others don't, and you know that the government is not efficient enough to use it properly, and you know that corporations will keep it instead of paying higher wages to workers, and you know that non profits will eat the majority of it in overhead before it helps people, and you know that decreasing the amount of money in circulation will cause the value of all money to increase, you should rationally set fire to your extra cash.

By that definition there would be MANY singularities throughout history. Pretty much anything that caused a paradigm shift would fit, for example "the printing press", "the atom bomb", or "the internet".

It is definitely an interesting way of looking at things, but I think waters down the "singular" part of the singularity too much.

Oh man, I haven't heard about the Gor books since the BBS days. I never read one cover to cover but had the misfortune of going through some excerpts. Plenty has been said about their content, much of which I agree with, but the writing is also awful.

Yes but I wouldn't go to Whole Foods if I was looking to buy a radio. Therefore, expanding to Target would offer more variety than Whole Foods would. That was the point of difference that I saw. Sure if I go to target they have groceries but they're a different type of grocery (as I said initially.. Whole Foods is high end) plus, as I stated, you wouldn't go to Whole Foods if you were looking to buy a camera or a radio or an xbox.

The second option can be hosted at ArcGIS Online without you doing anything (i.e. loading anything). It is a REST API. Yes, it is hidden in their stupid docs.

The third option is faster than anything else, but would require you to load planet-osm.

Maven is complicated but also very stable and powerful. It's no less arcane than webpack and if you're using any decent IDE all the available options will autocomplete. Fat jar deploys were always super simple and having a self-contained executable is even better.

I made a good career out of selling late-to-the-party native android ports for companies.

Its pretty low key lucrative too:

- iOS development is crowded, Android devs are more scarce and there are too many unrelated skillset paths to build a native android app.

- The APIs are already developed by the time you get there.

- The designs have already happened, for the most part. Its no longer a fact finding mission and instead a pure implementation mission.

- You make more money and have to deal with less company-wide fires in the process.

- Nobody bothers you. You get to be on autopilot.

- And its also pretty pointless. Most company's android apps are just a checkbox, store presence to show they haven't neglected it. Nobody is going to actually download it.

It was fun for a while, I got my funds up.

> how large a problem "preventing the police from murdering any innocent person" actually is

Are we excluding problems for first-in-line treatment because they are "large?" If so, that's new in the American political experience.
My guess is that the amount being sought reflects statutory damages for willful copyright infringement. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capitol_Records,_Inc._v._Thoma...
>People don't realize how onerous and expensive it is to run a mapping service (even if you use OSM data).

Yes. Apple learned this with their disastrous rollout of their custom mapping solution a few years back. Mapping/geographic projects are nothing to sneeze at, even for the big guys. There's just so well-integrated and useful that we hardly think about the complication involved.
>Paying as little taxes as possible to avoid jail is absolutely not the rational move for people or corporations.

Of course it is, and then both individuals and companies have the option to make voluntary payments as charitable contributions or to support local institutions--as many universities to to their municipalities.

> the rational thing to do could be to help out

Sure, it's just that some might prefer charities.

> The rational move is to fully pay all expected taxes

The difficulty is in defining "expected." If the tax authorities give your return the green light, in what sense did they "expect" more? If your definition of expectation isn't about the letter of the law but the spirit, then whose spirit (amongst the many lawyers, accountants, and executives) should be followed? This doesn't even touch the issue of fiduciary responsibility, covered elsewhere in the thread.
Shit like that removes any interest for me to look into Java
Nice adventure, but I got mad at "1-item-at-time" picking rule. I'd rather prefer all of them being collectable, instead of putting an ordering that forces you resorting every time to the Uncle.
Very nice, though. Keep it up!
I do believe in a balance between public domain, copyleft and copyright, but playing devil's advocate is helpful here. We are supposed to live in a knowledge economy, and inevitably it's copyright and IP that ends up setting the rules and benefiting from it. Luckily there are people who see the value in copyleft and choose relevant projects that can end up making an impact on a large scale.
>OK, but that's (a) 100% speculation

95% speculation. The last 5% comes from exercising basic pattern recognition.

I remind you that we're probably talking about interference from the organization that arranged this:

https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2014/05/photos-of-an-nsa...

The existence of that program was pure speculation, until it turned out to be totally real.

>(b) fails Hanlon's razor.

This is completely irrelevant to any argument made between two informed participants. It's worse than speculation, it's a plea to glib colloquialisms. Any chance you've got evidence or even reasoned speculation supporting the theory that the worlds most successful CPU manufacturer has an incompetent marketing department?

According to amateur debris-finder Blaine Alan Gibson they are looking (mostly) in the wrong area.

> I disagree. Many exchanges have public order books, so you can see exactly how much the price would slip if you sold, e.g., $1m worth of a coin.

Yeah, but if you wanted to sell $1M worth of coins you'd probably use an auction at Gemini or elsewhere so you don't move through more than 2 or 3 price levels of the book.

You'd also probably enable some sort of smart selling algo for the same reason were you try and move $1M worth of BTC not at auction.

You could make the same argument for Gold or Platinum being over valued based on slippage from open interest at a point in time.
