If you’re interested in joining our team, send us an email at jobs@mullvad.net by 31 January 2018.
Yeah, saying HFA is ill-equipped to obtain mechanical licenses doesn't make sense to me. That's exactly the role they play.

Maybe they didn't obtain performance licenses though?

Corporations literally have a legal obligation to attempt to pay as little tax as is legally possible (really, to maximize shareholder value, which might even mean paying less tax than is legally possible, as long as the expected value of the gambit is positive).

The issue is not corporations taking advantage of it, the issue is that we have a system where an actor is obligated to optimize for certain variables within the rules of a network of systems, but the network of systems is not coordinated in a way that prevents "abuse" as everyone would like to define it, but strictly speaking, haven't.
I have had only a single problem with my Nexus 6, as far as hardware goes: the USB port on the bottom sucks. On the other hand, there is an obviously superior way to charge the phone, since it supports Qi charging, which I have stations for at my office and home. I only need to use the port when flashing a new ROM (it works, but only in precise alignment).

You should provide some actual claims about the problems you had with the hardware rather than just complaining.

> However, what if keeping customer information secure was a contractual obligation as part of offering products for sale, or services for hire?

"keeping customer information secure" is not a binary. Most companies that are breached don't know about it until their dat hits the black market. Yahoo! revised their data brach estimates upwards half a dozen times from 100million+ to ~3billion+. The plaintiffs would have to affirmatively prove that a breach happened to the defendant when most defendants don't even know that it happened.

It is even harder to contractually enforce when the victim claims it was a nation-state-actor/APT since no company could hold out against a determined APT indefinitely.

I'm hopeful that cybersecurity insurance policies will move the needle towards accountability and increased prevention (insurance policies will require good-faith efforts at security policies+procedures+tools+employee actions or they won't pay out).
It seems uncharitable to glom onto a single word of the GP's statement; suburban and rural areas are also full of single mothers.

> the framework should do automatic code-splitting at the route level, and support dynamic import(...) for more granular manual control

I disagree! Code-splitting is arguably an architectural dead-end for SPAs:

1) It adds a non-trivial layer of complexity to both your application logic and your tooling. SPAs (and the JS ecosystem in general) are already complicated enough without this extra layer of indirection, and that complexity carries a higher cost than most people realize, especially when it's blindly accepted across the industry as best practice.

2) It's based on the conflation of apps with collections of hypertext documents, whereas in reality these are different architectures with different trade-offs. We're under no such delusions for apps in the app store for example, and thus nobody bats an eye if one takes a full minute to download.

I guess this isn't what people want to hear, but the web is more than apps, and we need to stop pushing SPA as the default way to build every new website. Code-splitting is merely the by-product of choosing the wrong architecture. In cases where SPA is the right tool for the job, we need to make users aware that they're downloading an actual app. I.e. a one-time install screen implemented via some kind of service-worker-driven bootstrapper: "Just a moment while we install your app..."

So he’s the CEO who knows the most intimate details about his company, including what the next few years hold. If as CEO he’s not confident enough to have a whole lot of eggs in the company that HE is running, why would anyone in their right mind want to have a single egg in this company?
I tried to take a look but loading your site is really slow for me (from Europe) and at least in my case is fraught with rendering issues as elements on the page move around (images that don't have a set width and height mostly causing pages to reflow constantly as they're being loaded). You seem to be hosted on AWS though so you might want to consider deploying your site (and assets) to a few more regions. I'm probably overly picky about these things but when my first experience with a vendor is "stuff is slow" that weighs pretty heavily in making a decision to investigate further.
US copyright has way too much international authority.

Spotify wouldn't even exist without illegal file sharing on the outset.
Can we get a positive answer from Apple that the company doest not slow down the CPU for older MacBook Pros?

We just need a truthful answer from Apple when we do not have any evidence for that, or it's hard to get an evidence.

I had the older MacBook Pros (mid 2012 and 2013) and they are getting slower than years ago. So we need to make sure Apple is not doing the slow down like it does to old iPhones.
Let's be clear what this is really about: Spotify is rumored to go public next year.
Good for them :).

There seems to be a lot of people in the world who get "enraged" that companies are greedy (and they are), but never care if governments are greedy. Why is it okay for governments to be greedy?
This is a controversial stance but I too don't understand why patents are generally limited to 20 years but creative copyright is granted until 70 or more years after the death of all participating authors. If you cannot make money off of your work within 20 years, it's highly unlikely that this will change.

That sounds like personal baggage talking. It sounds really venomous.

I successfully swapped gender roles with my sons. I got a corporate job and offered them the chance to take over the women's work rather than get jobs themselves. They did not half ass it, though they also did not handle it the same way I would. If it weren't for feeling attacked in an ugly and gratuitous way, there would be good common ground to be found there.

If you are interested, the book "More work for mother" details 300 years of history of household tech. It partly agrees with you that maybe women should learn to lighten up a hair. But it also asserts the pressure for women to work so hard comes from real gains in things like child survival rates.

I like the book in part because it is a rare example of not hating on either gender and not promoting the war between the sexes.

I don't plan to engage you further because this just sounds like someone venting their spleen on a random internet stranger and I am not interested in engaging with that.
seeing as how veganism is not the default choice in most of the industrialized world, this is a misleading frame. it's also incorrect that it's more efficient to "eat animals" to produce muscle if we're being pedantic (as a

This is stretching too hard to make a partisan argument. Other than the many [citation needed] statements, the reality is every company's interests involve providing some government services through taxes. Therefore it's just a matter of degree.

You are either okay with companies avoiding paying taxes they do not legally have to pay, or you are not; it doesn't matter if it's an oil company or a tech company or a car company.

I think those who argue that google and other companies should "do the right thing" are a bit naive; these companies operate under vastly complicated taxation schemes and while at the extreme end it might be somewhat obvious to us that it's not really on the up-and-up, it's extremely difficult to decide which revenues should be recognized in which locales.
Experimental learning of quantum states
Exactly.

Do you think shareholders would stand for a company paying $19.2B more in taxes than they should? That would be absurdly negligent on the part of everyone leading the company.

Would an individual pay $500 more in taxes than they are required to out of the goodness of their heart and belief in the American government?

Don't indict corporations for following the tax code, change the laws.

This is going to hit tech companies hard.

Maybe this will help us work out the issues with H1-Bs and give people a faster means of obtaining citizenship. It's a win-win, as these people get stay in the US, and Trump can claim companies are now "hiring American."
tl;dr. Being an asshole isn't a crime.

Analogy to put this in perspective: at your daughter' school, there's a collection for a new electronic whiteboard. Everyone pays their share. Except due to an old / obscure rule families below poverty line are exempt. One rich parent figured out how to hide all their income and qualify.

There are different ethical standards for corporations & individuals. Companies get to navigate these quite cleverly.

NYC is probably the optimal case, since it's been known for years that it's one of the few places where there are more single women than single men. In some areas, many more single women. In other words, it skews the exact opposite way from SV.

> but they're not worth nearly 10% of Spotify's valuation

FYI - This is very likely not the metric they're after and so it's probably not helpful to frame against it. Valuation is a measure of the value of the company at any given time. In this case they're seeking damages for revenues that Spotify has made in the past as a result of alleged unlicensed content.

If you're trying to scope against Spotify's valuation, then likely you'd be looking at their earnings/profit, which as of reports since October 2017 is still negative. In other words, if there is indeed $1.6B to pay for unpaid royalties, then Spotify's already abysmal financials are going to look even worse.
The Panama/Paradise papers, maybe? Not that legislation to penalize the exposure of tax shelters is likely to happen, but that seems like the relevant type of breach.

Possibly. But it's possible that he did it on the assumption that US tech stocks are already overvalued and anticipates a correction soon.

Yes, he likely isn't "all in" on Intel stock right now, but does that necessarily mean that it's specifically Intel that he thinks has problems?

That's not how politics works. Everyone has a different opinion and priorities. Obamacare made the overall system better by providing more people with affordable access to healthcare, at the cost of increased complexity in some areas. It was a good trade-off. If everyone had insisted on perfection then nothing would have been changed at all.
Of course it's a problem. I just outlined a use case. I don't want to leave my keys in a supermarket. The other scenarios (traveling and needing to grant someone access, for example) don't really have a good solution.

If you can afford a maid, then I doubt any of this would count as a problem, though.
Ah, I see. My ad blocker blocked the ads, but kept the word "Sponsored" just floating around with no context.
I have my own concerns, but not because of gender. Still what I want to comment on is the gendered poverty argument you made.

I have been saying something similar for a long time! The wage gap, in my opinion, is a result of choices made by women in a society that expects them to be primary caregivers.

I think that people should be paid to be caregivers for their own families. In fact, many new programs do exactly this. Still it is not reliably spread throughout the US federation.

However, my concern is that subsidizing child care actually leads to overpopulation. I am worried about the Malthusian trap.
