They did not force them to raise their tax rate though, so it is still highly beneficial to Apple to be in Ireland compared to, say, France.

What member countries really should do is similar to the revenue tax that was recently proposed. But not exactly, because that's a pretty blunt tool. Instead, the calculation should go something like this.

# Exclude payments to/from subsidiaries.
global_revenue = all external revenue
global_expenses = all external non-tax costs
global_profit = global_revenue - global_expenses
global_tax = this_country_tax_rate * global_profit
country_tax = this_country_revenue / global_revenue
* global_tax

The goal being to remove the benefit of tax avoiding schemes like Ireland. It doesn't matter how you move the money around, you'll pay taxes to this country based on how much money you make here.

Require the company to estimate and pay this tax quarterly, and provide reasonable fines for underpayment. Granted the first two lines might be difficult to compute, so you would only do this for companies big enough to be worth going through the trouble for.

I’m surprised there’s not a mention of AGPL as an alternative. While not equivalent de jure, it seems to be equivalent de facto.
Do devs really hate agile? I’ve really enjoyed it in workplaces despite it not always being perfect. I’ve never felt micro managed either, just regularly managed. I understand that maybe some want more free will to pursue problems the way they feel is right, but it’s a job at the end of the day and you are a human resource being paid to deliver results. Make sure you’re being compensated enough, at least to not feel like you’re being exploited.
What part don't you understand? They explicitly say that they wrote several major parts (ingest, protocol decoding, disk storage backend, query layer) in Rust.

Firefox is written in C++ too, but uses Rust for lotsa things.

Looks like a super nice way of doing threads in Python, here's the rep: https://github.com/dabeaz/thredo

Sad to see that it has not received any love for last 4 months, is there another "preferred" thread lib for Python?
Agreed, but the scale-up of banks and spreading of risk that makes credit easy to get makes poor maintenance easy to get away with. You can still get a loan on a collapsed hovel!
Agile is like communism. Looks good on paper but you end up in Soviet Russia.
Off-topic but anyone know a way to have Github recalculate these stats for idle projects without needing to re-commit stuff? I have one repo which says 99% Mathematica which is so far from the truth (there is no Mathematica code whatsoever.)

There are a huge number of American companies selling products in India. They also harm the local economy including in job creation. Brain dead outsourcing jobs created by American companies shouldn't really be considered as value addition to India in long term.
Green is relative. Florida has much more greenery that Oxford. Plus, these owners ran a house of protection for Africans that survived their village being slaughtered. They had a bit more pressing things to worry about than making a great garden.

His writing is Heavy on opinion and low on fact. The simple facts are these: It takes 20 years to turn over the auto fleet and dozens of millions of ices are still being bought in 2018. That means gas demand well into the 2040s. Much like our emissions overall, our auto sector is transitioning too little and too late.
I never saw agile as anything other than some useful observations about project management. Get feedback fast, sync with team members often, don't try to plan the whole thing in one go.

Any particular incarnation of it, say Scrum, is going to have issues when applied to real world problems. Guidelines like "get quick feedback" are useful, but decrees like "one week sprints" can get tyrannical.

Luckily a lot of people seem to understand that and I've never met anyone who insists on doing exactly according to some specific scripture.
>> Soon we'll see the beginnings of the death cycle for ICE vehicles. Lower sales means fewer:

Don't forget about all the factories and employees making all those parts fo the gas engines.

No, I wanted to give it a lighter slant than "god's sake" for our American friends, sort of like "heck".

You can get USB based GPIO boards for ~$20. Some need drivers, some emulate serial. I'm guessing that with a USB-to-go cable, you could connect these to the phone.

> Does your mum want a hardware switch?

Actually, she does. She read some news and put some tape over the camera of her notebook. Just as Zuck does - and I imagine there is an enormous gap in technical knowledge between the CEO of FB and my mum. So yes, maybe the demand is higher than the marketing departments are willing to admit. Apple's years-long reluctance to cater for people looking for a phone with two SIM card slots also comes to mind.
I think the problem with Agile as implemented by larger corporations is not anything described in the article, but that it’s just fundamentally antithetical for corporations to work agile.

There is just no way that some salesperson is going to be able to sell a product that’s going to be developed in collaboration with a customer in 2 week increments (unless the customer is already specifically dealing with a software consultancy).

They sell a package of ‘this is everything the product is going to do’ and then somehow try to squash that waterfall list of features into ‘stories’, and call it agile.
Can engineering save Louisiana’s coastline?
Totally agree. Existing businesses get screwed over to get some shiny big company in. I think part of the problem is media coverage: You don't hear much about 1000 companies with 10 people each but there is a lot of news in a facility with 10000 people and a famous company name. Although I'd argue that the 1000 small companies are much better for for the area.
> HSLuv is just like LCH

To be clear, HSLuv, is based on CIELCHuv, the cylindrical transformation of CIELUV [0]; the LCH in David Johnstone's colour picker is CIELCHab, the cylindrical transformation of CIELAB [1].

Of course, that doesn't contradict your comment about the pros and cons of HSLuv's "saturation" component.

Well if you're running them headless then running armbian with a recent kernel will work on a lot of boards. The big problems come when you want driver support e.g. proprietary GPU drivers for ARM GPUs don't work because they were written for an old kernel api and ARM would rather focus on selling new GPUs than supporting older ones for sake of the tiny SBC niche.
I didn't see it mentioned anywhere that he brought people from India. Usually, these kind of scams involve students who came to US to study. So they were already in the country. They will be forced to leave in 18 months unless they get an h1b, so they have to resort to such practices.

> The problem with regular users is: they don't care until it's too late.

But it shouldn't be that way, should it? At least it's not what I learned during my marketing lessons. You do market research, listen to your potential customers, discuss the results and proceed based on that.

In the mobile world you have an absurd situation that you remove an important component of the device, you release the device, everybody tells you it was a very stupid decision, you ignore everybody and still rake a ton of cash. Amazing.
Not everyone has a blog. Even those that do sometimes tweet out a stream recapping the blog post (Erik Loomis being the one I remember most).

(This is such a bizarre complaint to me - it's like insisting that people not speak to you in real time but instead put down their arguments onto paper and present them to you.)
This is incredibly racist. This is exactly like the stupid Muslim ban by Trump. "Some x are/do y, so lets ban all x".
None of this is really new. Back when factories actually meant big money, entire countries competed to get this or that manufacturer’s plant - every time the plant would have been “the most advanced “, “key to the future of the company” etc etc. Then, a few years after the plant was built and subsidies were collected, they would close the plant and start the carousel again. RyanAir did it with regional airports for a bit. Every supermarket does it with their suppliers.

It’s sad that politicians always think they are smarter than anybody else, that “this time it won’t happen” or simply that, even considering negatives, the opportunity is still too good to pass. Unfortunately, nobody ever got re-elected for saying no to this sort of opportunities.
I keep reading this story but I have not seen any offical attempt to use pressure sensors, low and high frequency microphones, and em spectrum analyzers to trace what this alledged effect is being transmitted by.
Can anyone recommend a method to be happy in a depressing office for 40 hours? I am an outdoorsy active person and it is very hard to code in the coldly manufactured cubicle that I must stay in. Window view is very minimal, walls are drab, workplace has no fun activities whatsoever, coworkers are quiet at least, but not welcoming or fun. I just feel spending so much time in that confined space really hurts my coding and mental game.
I think it's easy to look at the short-term and miss the larger picture.

The printing press being the only other well documented time of this explosion of knowledge/technology allows us to see that no matter how power expands and then coalesces, it takes the good ideas, fragments away, and then repeats the process as a sect of the greater power.
Retail jobs lost to online shopping are gone regardless of a city hosting an ecommerce company or not. The economy is constantly shifting, it make sense to adapt to it.
I've been reading "It Doesn't Have to be Crazy at Work" and they have a chapter about this. Deadlines are great! Estimates are terrible, and humans are terrible at estimating. Scope needs to be elastic to accommodate this fact of life.

If the project is not done in the 6 weeks you set aside for it, just ship something anyways and move on. It was only worth 6 weeks when you planned on getting it done in 6 weeks, so why spend more? Go ahead and plan another sprint if it turns out what you were able to build in the time allocated wasn't enough, and you really need more. (Put it up against the other opportunities you have, and give them all a fair chance at those finite development resources, something else might also turn out to be more important.)

Just don't spend forever and drag out the deadline, throwing off the timeline for whatever you had planned to do next, because you needed more time for the thing that underestimated how big it was, so it wasn't really possible to do that whole thing in only 6 weeks.

The release that is reduced in scope might be totally insufficient, or, it might be just what your users needed! The knife also cuts both ways – if you're willing to accept that project scope can change in either direction, you can occasionally deliver things early too.

I really like everything about this book.
This is just Amazon looking for welfare. This is not new. Cabela's was doing it for many years. Asking for tax breaks because they bring "jobs and prosperity" to the town. It turned out to be a plain lie. NFL teams are doing it to many cities. Making few hundred millions in profit while offloading stadium to tax payers. Sears, cboe and cme among other did it to Illinois for millions of dollars in tax breaks.

Pure and simple corporate greed.
Well it entirely depends on what you want to do. As soon as you need GPIO, ADC, PWM, I2C or SPI a smartphone isn't going to work. But I will admit that an arduino + throwaway smartphone combination could solve a wide variety of problems.

I couldn’t help but chuckle at this part of the article: “One explanation is that trains’ systemized nature — that they run on regular schedules along fixed routes...” I mean, we’re talking about the MTA here.
I think these things are a problem but can be solved by alternate means.

We've completely stopped building council homes for no apparent reason, for example. I'd pay more in taxation to support that - hell, if we did it properly and treated it like a New Deal-style thing I'd be proud to come along and help build. We owe it to people. The fact that there are massive fields everywhere that people aren't allowed to build on because a man with a gun says no is asinine.

We can make transport faster and better as well.

At some point I think the population of London needs to be limited somehow because having 20 million residents would make it hellish to navigate under any system. The central bits would turn into a gridlock of pedestrians.

> Do you think they should be paid enough to achieve homeownership themselves? Where should that come from?

I think this gets the directionality confused. If people agree to work for a low wage, the low wage is going to persist.

I think people should refuse to work jobs that don't pay enough to exist. Individually or collectively, doesn't matter.

Personally I don't understand how London's service industry works at all.

I'd have left yesterday if I felt my options were limited to working in the local supermarket. The wages are farcical - literally _funny_ - can't afford a studio flat within the entire M25.

Meanwhile, as you know well, there are cities <5 hours drive away where one can buy a terraced house with a garden on a single minimum wage.

If people refused these silly conditions, wages would rise, residents would pay a bit more for services and it'd all work out.

It's funny because this is a really common (probably the overwhelming) opinion in my hometown. London is bloody expensive, no-one understands why anyone would live there unless they're rich. It's only people who have the idea that they "must" live there regardless of resources that get into trouble.
I'm not a human resource, thanks.

Yes, competent devs hate agile, incompetent talkers love it because it hides their deficiencies and they can shine in the useless meetings.
Shutdown by who? Hopefully cities didn't write biding contracts with numbers without biding numbers from amazon. That'd be terrible bargaining...
Yes? It works our to like five people a month, hardly a meaningful amount given the number of H-1B visas over that period.
So the 'Russian investigation' is a follow-up to the 'Migrant caravan'?
So true. But then, Agile solved problems developers had, not project managers, sales people, or accountants. In fact, it caused those people more problems.

It was only ever going to be actually implemented in developer-run organisations, because only then are developer problems more important than everyone else's problems.

Maybe that's the answer - more developer-run organisations.
In a sense, aren't we trying to take inspiration from a model evolved in many million years? We are trying to build an airplane taking inspiration from a bird.
Also, emulating the way brain work can be seen as one of the many paths towards AGI, can't it? Even if, AGI speaking, to my understanding the computation speed is not the problem.

I was about to say that launching so far from the equator sounds very fuel-inefficient, but it turns out that their launchpad's latitude (39 degrees south) is nearer the equator than Russia's primary launch site, the Baikonur Cosmodrome (45 degrees north). For reference, Cape Canaveral is 28 degrees north.
I'm pretty sure politicians know what they are doing and know what it really means. They do it because of the huge publicity impact helps them get reelected. The incentives are misplaced for them to make decisions good for the people. It's our fault as voters for being swayed by these gimmicks.
Then you're back to $30 and can just buy an ESP32 with a screen module but suffer from the indeterministic USB stack. However you could also buy a $6 ESP32 and let it communicate with the smartphone over blue-tooth at a price point of $10 (phone) + $6 (ESP32).
Politicians aren't quite as stupid as you (and, apparently, everyone else, believes).

The dynamics in such a situation are simply a prisoner's dilemma. Meaning: without cooperation, bidding for and getting HQ2 is net positive for the city. Nobody really sees much of a problem here, and your (and the sibling comment's) tiresome invocation of the lazy stupid-corrupt-politician-cliché is, as always, superfluous.

The actual issue is that, quite obviously, Amazon would expand and hire more employees anyway. This competition exploits the dynamic mentioned above to move money from the public to Amazon in a zero-sum game.

And the total loss of this scheme is even larger than "just" billions in taxes: when Amazon makes this decision based on the subsidies they are promised, they (by definition) must put lesser weight on all the factors that would otherwise dominate the decision. So they will end up at a location with lower quality-of-life, higher prices, or some other trade-offs. Amazon is essentially asking cities to pay them for crippling itself, and for compromising their employees happiness. Which, come to think of it, really does not strike me as the set of priorities one would expect from a stable company with a long-term focus and healthy values.

Anyway, that's why somewhat sane jurisdictions such as the EU put limits on subsidies and bespoke tax deals: it's cooperation that, when managed fairly, benefits everyone.

There's still competition between locations, but it's about quality-of-life, infrastructure, or education, instead of a voluntary effort to impoverish.

The fault, therefore, is the American fetishisation of market-based mechanisms[0], the seemingly endless willingness to starve public administrations of resources without any regard to their actual, absolute levels, and a somewhat pathological fear of showing weakness by treating any situation cooperatively, instead opting to turn everything into some sort of competition that at least guarantees the sweet payoff of others losing even worse.

[0]: This is particularly interesting here: The dedication to a free market runs so deep, that voters and politicians are essentially turning down the possibility to form a cartel amongst themselves. I one were to believe they are doing this knowing- and willingly, one would have admire it as a rather rare display of altruism in the service of a larger principle.

I don't think your account of the country goes back far enough. My recollection was that the USA was built by slaves. The irony of this conversation is the assumption our country, represented by Government feels any differently now about the exploitation of labor today.

Yes, this also. In my organization, we have a problem with "just ship something" because the cost of making a release is so high. We know this, so rather than ever "just shipping this part that's ready" we often drag projects out longer so we can "be really done with them."

Only sometimes, we could really have been done with them, without necessarily finishing all of that pet feature which has thrown off the whole timeline, by being more complicated to implement than anyone was able to imagine upfront.
All of the anti-immigrant rhetoric makes people vastly overestimate the number of immigrants there actually are, I suspect.
