No it's not complying with any law. For example, Germany car exporters do not pay corporation tax on the _whole_ supply chain profit in the countries where sales are ultimately made.

Of that example $800 retail price, the cost break down (I'm making up these figures) might look something like: $80 German sales tax, $50 for the German retail outlet, $30 Germany logistics and distribution, $50 Ireland internationalization and packaging, $70 Chinese manufacturing, $250 USA engineering and development.

I don't see why you feel the correct thing would be for Germany to tax all of the $300 profit, given Ireland, China and particularly the US contributed far more to the value of the finished product.

This idea - when a product or service involves international supply chains - that the profit is taxable based on where the value was created has been the basis of interational trade. And there are huge bodies of work and accounting rules on how corporations are allowed to split that $800 up among all the countries involved in the supply chain.

I wouldn't be surprised if new taxes are all based on revenue in the concerning region and not on profits. Taxes should just be part of the cost of doing business.
Peak usage is in the evening after work until bed time. People get home, turn on heat or cooling, cook dinner, watch TV, and so on. Peak solar is in the middle of the day. There is quite a bit of overlap (especially with A/C), but it doesn't correlate perfectly.

I gave you the revenue number so that you understand that Apple has been shifting their European business through Ireland to avoid paying taxes elsewhere.

Okay, let's talk about profit. $34bn in 2014, so not even at the peak. Apple made $34bn profit in Ireland and pretty much none elsewhere in the EU?

> Unless they want to see their car, aviation, food, etc. exports subjected to revenue based taxation in international markets.

Surprise surprise, European countries have to pay profit taxes in the US. Those profits cannot be shifted as easily as digital profits.

The cost of providing lights (even using LEDs) is still not economically cheaper than the sun in most cases. If hydroponics is done in open it would be interesting to see if there are actually any advantages given that hydroponic farms will be near city where land is more expensive than where the farmlands are. Also pests again become a problem. There is a reason that most hydroponic companies are targeting micro-greens and other leafy vegetables as they are easy to grow and also most of the produce is edible so less waste of area and electricity.

In my experiments, I built multiple automated hydroponic setups and I have been able to grow only micro-greens and lettuce successfully and in a shorter cycle. All other experiments of growing strawberries and saffron failed.
For me, that's never been true at all. Imagine your thoughts being like a barrel full of fish. Vocalizing your thoughts is then akin to reaching down into that barrel and plucking out the exact fish you were looking for.

Now if you wanted to describe the the color and species of said fish, it's easier when you're holding it rather than attempting to do so while it's swimming around with every other fish.
Well, it's obviously very unlikely to be prosecuted, so the practical answer is that noone would care.

There are also some provisions for e.g. backups or accessibility (which vary between jurisdiction as these details aren't a part of the worldwide copyright conventions) that might apply in certain situations that stretch the scenario of "for my wife to read" a bit.

But yes, if you had a book and made a handwritten copy so that you could have your wife read it while (for example) you read the original, then the legal answer is that you're technically prohibited to do that without explicit permission from the copyright owner; and if the copyright owner finds out and really cares, they could succeed in suing you for that action.

You don't seem to understand how transfer pricing and tax havens work. These companies are not paying taxes on profits from most of their foreign sales in their home countries - the home corporation pays taxes on their domestic profits, and profits from those international subsidiaries that can't be channeled to tax havens (e.g. not from Europe) while all those profits that can make their way to tax havens do. Here's an article explaining how Apple does it: https://www.irishtimes.com/business/apple-s-cash-mountain-ho...
I agree with you. A better solution would be to use CI to check the branches (so you know what state you're in) and enforce a test and style pass before a branch can be merged to master.

I don't know why there's such a fear of rebasing, in a lot of situations it's the right way to go.

I don't like squashing though, but that's a personal choice - sometimes excessive use of squash can hide the history of why things developed the way they did, and that can sometimes be very useful information.

As someone that understands pain only too well, I agree.

I suffer from chronic pain and am prescribed (weak) opioids to help manage that pain. I've tried numerous other medications, but the ones I'm on are the only ones I can tolerate and that actually help at all.

I am responsible, only ever taking them as prescribed. Even with some pain management, life is not easy; with none, it is unbearable - I honestly don't know if I'd still be here without any pain management.

Opioids are plainly being over-prescribed in the US, but we have to be really careful not to withdraw them from those that actually need them.

I think backend web development except for protocol and server is inherently a text processing work:

1. Parse http request map them to language data structures.

2. Do some processing.

3. Convert data structures to json or HTML or blob as response.

Given this paradigm language stronger in text processing like lisp, perl, python, Ruby are easier and more productive. Rust and Go in my view are still not strong in this area, therefore might not be as strong in backend web programming.

But people have built very powerful web application in C++, Go, C and some even in Rust. So it is possible and I will be very happy that development of web application in Rust might develop powerful libraries for text precessing, which will make it more productive with memory safety.

So go ahead, if possible share your development experience.

I am still busy learning lisp, hope can find time to look into other languages.

Ask YC: Chrome Extension for Not for Profits/Charities/Helping the Amazon?
Hey!

I wondered if anyone could tell me the feasibility of developing a Chrome extension that could collect microdonations at the checkout?

It could work a little like Moneybox here in the UK or Acorns over in the US, which collect micropayments on purchases via "rounding up" and put them in a savings account.

For example a pop up may ask before payment is made, "Would you like to plant a tree for $1 with this purchase?"

People feel richer on different days to others I guess, so it may not get annoying. It could share the donation confirmation page on Facebook after. One Tree Planted https://onetreeplanted.org/ could plug in to it, or you could choose from a list of charities the user feels an affinity with.

This reads a bit like having (maybe unconsciously) picked Rust first and then coming up with arguments to rationalize that choice. Which is completely fine, especially for a small personal project.

> It wouldn't take much. Just having the assets loaded at runtime instead of being hardcoded should be enough to get some people started.

I'm not familiar with Jeff's code, but I do work in game development, and something like this would likely be a huge undertaking, and would affect pretty much every aspect of the game.

Optimisation #0 for loading times is compress a gigantic pile of stuff into a giant binary blob, and index it at runtime. Undoing that to support custom content would be a huge time investment on any of the games I've worked on.
Thanks, this is a solid piece describing the amount and the source of money went into that campaign. It doesn't necessarily contradict what I was saying though - Yeltsin wouldn't have won without the oligarchs like Berezovsky or Gusinsky supporting him (and the money of course), there's also no way for him to win with either Nemtsov or Chernomyrdin running for the office, even with the campaign of that scale. And the article you linked seems to be skeptical about the role of those consultants as well.

Different thing. They would be satisfied with the limitations, they were not asking for additional limitations.
To be fair:

Canning equipment isn't cheap. You need to have storage space, time to actually can things, and access to bulk fruit (or food). If you go beyond a narrow selection of canning, you need a pressure cooker. All this, and you might find your jars didn't seal properly. Botulism is a real issue with home canning.

Freezing, however, is generally safe and you can make "freezer jam". Freezing most vegetables generally only takes blanching and prep. I'd suggest this if you have some freezer space.
"I guess the cruise tourists do bring in quite a bit of money from eating in the restaurants"

Aren't most cruise ship full board?

Plus you seem to suggest that visitor numbers are very lumpy which would make it very difficult to size the local restaurant industry. If average summer visitors are 10000, then the QE2 dumps out 20000 visitors for 2 days out of the month, do you size yourself to accommodate 10000 visitors? 30000?

Source: Worked in pubs that hosted coach parties, there was a massive variation in spend from coach to coach.
To be straight here, yes that's pretty much how it's supposed to work. There would have to be sales, logistics and back office functions in the consuming country and those operations would be taxable. There would like to also be general sales tax in the consuming country but these would apply to all sales, not just the sales of "foreign" goods.

Countries have tried heavily taxing revenues of "foreign" imports - they're called tarrifs or import duties - and generally the result has been to make everyone poorer.

But it's a populist meme at the moment - both on the left and on the right - Trump's misguided/dangerous trade policies for example - that international trade is impoverishing or a zero-sum game.
This is a good point.

For inflammation-type pain, paracetamol or NSAIDs (Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) can be remarkably effective.

For neuropathic pain, gabapentoids are likely a better first-line treatment, with SNRIs (Serotonin–norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors) or TCAs (tricyclics) as second-line.

There are of course many people for whom opioids are appropriate, but they should only be used where less potentially harmful medications have been tried first. My understanding of the situation in the US is that they are often prescribed as 1st-line treatments, or inappropriately after surgeries where NSAIDs would be more appropriate.

Helps to keep in mind Jeff Raskin's "theorem" - "Intuitive equals familiar". Although displaced from its original UI context, the reading of "gaining intuition = gaining familiarity" is spot on.

So if you're looking for intuition, you're looking for deep familiarity which means spending the time/effort it takes to get familiar.

Resources don't help much as they're almost always about someone else's "intuition". Struggle that leads into false turns and force you to backtrack help a lot more I think.

An example - some time ago, I told some colleagues that they've been dealing with convolution even before middle school .. which surprised them. Multiplying numbers is the same operation as convolving their digit sequences. But if you didn't fool around enough with multiplication, or try to relate it to algebra, polynomials, and such, this can be hard to see.

Peterson lost a lot of credibility for me when he took a group selfie with some guys with a big Pepe The Frog flag. I mean it’s kind of funny but 90% of the Pepe memes are actually racist and horrible (from what I’ve seen). After that I couldn’t take his alt-right denialism very seriously.

It’s a shame because I actually think some of his talks are quite good.
Compatibility is absolutely essential; that's why there's only room for about two and a bit mobile OSs.

As we all know: Building for spiky traffic is the hardest.

Unlike with cloud computing where you can spin up more servers to meet demand, you can't just spin up more city, more streets, more restaurants, more sights, more everything at the drop of a hat when demand spikes. I wonder how much of that traffic spike from a big cruise ship the city is actually able to capture.

If the city was built for peak demand, maybe, but then you'd have to maintain all the infrastructure when the tourists aren't there. So unless you have a new cruise ship every day ...

It's a hard problem. I don't think it's solvable. I'm in Venice right now and the difference between 1pm when it's jam packed with tourists and a total hellhole on earth, and a nice 7am run when it's empty and gorgeous ... yeah it does not even begin to compare. These old cities just weren't built for the kind of foot traffic they get these days as tourist destinations.

+1 for GitHub Issues as it is closely integrated with code.

If you are using GitLab, then GitLab also has its equivalent called Issues.
You can try Taiga [1] it supports kanban style or scrum style development with a very beautiful interface. It has all you need built-in with issues, epics, tasks, sprint or just a kanban board.

Both front-end and back-end are open source. It can be customized easily and can be integrated with video conference, IRC, slack, CI, Gitlab, GitHub, kallithea-scm or just with git and mercurial easily.

Backend is built using Python Django framework with celery and front-end as SPA in angularjs. Give it a try I think it's also a very good example production system in Django with angularjs to learn from.

I think having free education (e.g. in some EU) makes students appreciate their education. Education is a privilege and something to be earned for many. The universities have more power over the student life as they know best.

Having students pay for everything (e.g in
US) makes their education into a product and they are the consumer. Students can then demand to have certain conditions met. The consumer knows best, is king.
