Complying with tax laws is exactly what apple and other big companies are doing right now. Leftist and Communist countries invent new taxes everyday (france have a 75% revenue tax, this is the closest thing to communism in the world)
Only reason to support this stupid move by the french president is leftist agenda.
Hopefully president trump have defeated this stupid move with retaliation taxes on france if they insist on this path... And they backed off :)

I've noticed a lot of people mentioning Taiga in the comments, and it looks like it's got everything we'd need.

I'll have a dig and see if there's a Docker script to run up a test/eval installation. I might have tried to install it before, but the separate "backend" and "frontend" made it look quite complex to install.

Python is a big plus, I know how to make that decently performant on our VPS (half our tech stack is Python based).

If it's difficult to follow my argument that's my fault.

I should have been more clear about the distinction between "profits on sales in Germany" and "profits made by the German operation".

The $300 is the (global) profit on the sale in Germany.

The profit made by the German operation would be relatively small in this case - assuming for example that the Germany operation is purely involved in logistics and retail. These type of operations are quite low margin.

It is simply not the case that corporations can arbitrarily set the prices along the supply chain for accounting purposes. There are decades of international tax case law to determine where profits can be assigned in a global supply chain. Transfer pricing is governed very strictly.

Clearly, in this example, the German logistics and retail can only claim a very small proportion of the value - given that typically their profits are single digit percentages. The US can claim nearly all of it since it's US engineering which adds the most value (like German engineering adds the most value to a car sold in the US).
aimed in particular at macro- and monetary economists. There are some nice results but they apply, as far as I could tell, mostly to smaller settings, not the aggregate economy.

> I don't see where OP is implying that individuals suffering from unfortunate accidents outside of their control are driving up health care costs

No, OP is just proposing that help is denied to everyone who needs it and can't afford it, because it is deemed more important to prevent free-riders than to be humane. It's a nasty ideology, that is only embraced by the US among all developed countries.

It means that your life is only valuable to society if you have (or had) some economic value. It doesn't matter, by the way, if this economic value comes from actually contributing, or by inheritance, or by winning big at a casino. The important thing is that you have money, otherwise go (literally) die in a corner.

> This whole discussion seems to be centered on lifestyle choices, eating large quantities of sugar, that have a significant effect on the health care costs of the population as a whole.

So why not tax the big corps that make all of this junk for the costs to society that they externalize? Sure, it would be great if people had the level of education necessary to make the right choices. It is pretty hard to get that level of education in the US if you are born into an unprivileged situation, because the education system for the poor is shit, because said companies avoid paying taxes as much as possible, and the more well-off are selfish and shortsighted, and vote for politicians that do not spend public money on what can improve society as a whole.

> Childhood cancer or other unfortunate illnesses are statistically too infrequent to be driving up health care costs alone.

You are very young, I imagine. Perhaps you haven't yet started to understand that things go to shit as you age, and it is not "infrequent", it is part of the human condition. A part that is hidden out of the public eye because it is inconvenient to talk about it. All Americans are immortal and about to be millionaires!

Same here, with a Timex 2068.
As a freelancer, I'm not some home consumer, but someone with a business laptop. A business laptop I need to take to meetings. I need to show my business partners what is on my screen. This is not the time for some bloody Candy Crush ad popping up. And this is not the time to realise that last night's forced update borked your presentation.

As a freelancer, however, I cannot get the enterprise version of Windows 10 unless I buy at least n instances of it. I'd rather use that money to buy a real business laptop like a Mac Book Pro. No ads. No work ruining updates. Professionally maintainable without having a Windows Server sitting next to it. Backups that work. Real UNIX underneath.

I also was very happy with a Thinkpad plus Ubuntu LTS. Professionally maintainable, UNIX like underneath, smooth updates. I set up backups myself, but at least I had full control over it.

I had to settle on the Mac because of the availability of MS Office. I got tired of having to run that using a VM inside which I, yet again, had to maintain a Windows.

I tried Windows 10 for a while. At first I was pleasantly surprised, but then all the problems piled up. Fighting shitty drivers just to get sound working properly, constant updates, ads popping up again and again in the start menu and even on the lock screen, fighting to get at least a semblance of a usable command line.
At least the dog was cute and not an advertising vehicle.

And yet the reality is that all those companies report virtually zero profit in countries like the UK, France, Germany, etc.

I feel you are clutching at straws here.
Uh, bad post (of mine).

I agree. Maths is more important than programming IMO. But wider skills (job-related, planning, and social skills) are just as important, probably more so. But programming is an almost magical process of animating a thing. It can be too attractive, addicting, distracting...

Just my POV. I should not have posted originally without some evidence to support my claim.
considering the later contributed to paying for the creation of the public resource and their use is not exclusive nor impedes others from using the same I see no issue.
I'd also support a ban over danish goods because of the murder of the whales that danes do.
The problem isn't a lack of technology. It's a lack of demand. We have several dozen technologies that in combination can solve this problem. However it's going to be slightly expensive and since most countries do not generate more than 70% of their electricity from renewables they can simply get away with the far cheaper option. They already have gas plants which emit less CO2 per kWh than coal plants. The difference between a 80% and 100% reduction in CO2 is less significant than the difference between a 20% and 50% reduction.
> No. But we can do in depth economic analysis. And in fact, we can explain unequal pay quite well, and it has very little to do with discrimination.

Because I'm really interested in this and have been unable to find something convincing, could you point me towards any such studies?
Admixer Partner: An Interview with Gil Klein, AcuityAds
To get me on board would take minimal effort:

Go on one of the colour palette generators and create a colour palette to stick to for each level. Or use one of those photo to colour palette tools. He doesn’t have to learn about colours himself, he can rely on the tools to get him a palette.

Pick a position for the sun/light source and draw shadows on the opposite side of objects consistently.

His style is already consistent enough so those two would probably be all he needs to do.

Then again, if he’s happy with his sales figures and doesn’t need to expand into the almost-customers then fine, it’s his game and his call after all.
If gender studies had a consistent purpose, we would understand gender better after decades of it, not worse.

Men and women are at each other's throats, because gender studies started by giving bitchy women undeserved status and influence to keep them occupied and happy, and then letting them inflate that hand out as if they ever actually earned it.

They have no answer to the Norwegian Gender Paradox other than to double down and blame men and patriarchy extra double hard. Women like Paglia were bullied out by the mean girls on day 1.

But patriarchy is just the word for the decisions women make collectively, and then refuse to take responsibility for. Accountability is still optional for women in 2019, a truth they do not want to admit.
On the contrary I think a lot of the maths in school could be much better taught if they were taught alongside programming.

I used to do very well at my maths, but lost interest in large part because the maths I learned was largely disconnected from everything else I was doing despite an interest in programming.

It was first when I picked up a book on Prolog that I got symbolic derivation. The reason being that the Prolog book contained it as an example, and it was sufficiently compelling that it made me write an expression parser so that I could implement that symbolic derivation in Pascal, and the process of implementing the parser and implementing the rules applied to the syntax tree to carry out symbolic derivation brought it home in a way my teacher never did.

[Incidentally that expression parser also became the starting point for my first compiler.]

Of course programming can be distracting, because it can also allow you to explore almost any subject in more depth. E.g. what I know of complex numbers, I know because I was experimenting with fractals. What I know of graph theory is almost entirely down to playing around with parsing and compilation. And most of my understanding of trigonometry is down to toying with 3D rendering; certainly not from my maths classes in school that mostly made me loathe the subject.

There are plenty of languages that allows you to bridge a formal approach to maths with programming. But there are also plenty of ways to explore and demonstrate the concepts that will make them easier to grasp that require just very simple visualization. E.g. visualizing fractals as a means to explore topography; visualizing derivation, integration, limits, trig. For many of these presenting it as programs rather than visualization and letting students play with and see the consequences of changes has a lot of potential to make people grasp the concepts more deeply.

A friend of mine has a started to create a new language fit for European citizen.

It is based on a translator-based computer program and performs a synthesis of European languages. Each word is the result of a democratic choice made by an algorithm, so that it is the closest to that of the majority of European languages.

The website is in French, but there's a paragraph written in Europa (the name of the language) that starts with "Vos have comprendet que haver ambition". I'm really curious how people can understand it without any learning.

I have a feeling that eventually we are going to be facing basically a completely paralyzed tech industry because of what basically amounts to a patent singularity.

As more and more formerly innovating and profitable companies that invented and patented key technologies either start to struggle, get bought out, or go out of business, there will be more and more pressure to monetize their huge patent warchests, (and competing companies are even more driven to build up their own warchests as a result) we are going to see wave after wave of massive industry wide patent lawsuits like this that are going to completely disrupt things.

We absolutely need massive patent reform in the USA before things reach this point and any incentive to bring new products to market is destroyed by the tidal wave of patent suits that it is virtually guaranteed to attract.

This stuff has very extreme chilling effects, for instance a technology that has almost limitless potential (forward error correction) receives very little attention because of how crazy the patent situation surrounding it is.

> If a spacecraft is traveling at 4,000 m/s and it plows headlong into a planet, it has gained 4,000 m/s of delta v.

Yes and no. You've changed your velocity by 4km/s. You didn't gain usable ∆v, and you've just lost your spacecraft.

∆v means few related things. One, the amount of velocity change your mission plan requires. Second, the velocity change your craft is capable of using its own propulsion. Say you're plotting Mars orbit insertion. It requires (via [0]) 1.5 km/s ∆v. But you're a cheater, and decided to use aerobraking to bleed off (guessing a number) 1km/s of that velocity. This means you can complete this maneuver with a craft that only has 500m/s ∆v at the point of insertion. This does not mean the craft has gained ∆v.

Personally I think much of the benefits of remote work comes from the ability to close out the noise of the office, which includes thing like someone tapping me on the shoulder or grabbing my attention when Im deep in some mental exercise.

So what I wonder is how you couple the great things about (actively chosen) isolation with the need for social interaction and banter over time?

Perhaps it's a non-issue and remote work will never reach the level of distraction you face in an office. Still would be interested to hear your thoughts.
Well, what can I say.

This is how the "nuclear option" with regards to tech patents looks like. That's what everybody talked about few years ago, when big tech companies were making big patent defence pools.

An all out patent war in software looked scary enough for the industry, but the damage from patent war in semi, and particularly in the fab process, has a potential to surpass even that few times over.

The revenue number is irrelevant when it comes to corporation tax, don't you agree? If you do agree, why mention it? The discussion is complex enough without introducing unrelated numbers.

The figures I've seen published suggest that Apple declares 3 or 4bn _PROFIT_ a year on their Irish operations. This is about 3 or 4% of the REVENUE which passed through the Irish operations which does not seem unreasonable for a logistics operation. Apple makes 35% or 40% margin on sales which means that the VAST amount of profit is booked in the US.

> European countries have to pay profit taxes in the US

This is simply not true. I've been involved in selling stuff to the US from Europe and we did NOT have to pay "profit taxes" on our sales.

Haven't seen CQL - must take a look and share with Terminus team member ('terminator' naturally!) who wrote our query language, WOQL (web object query language). Prolog as the basis for a query language is v powerful. We get: queries returning graphs, recursion as a core feature, composable sub-queries and irregular expressions & cycles.

There is a standardization push in graph query at the moment so I have all this stuff in the front of my mind! Trying to write a 'graph query manifesto' at the moment.

Probably you might be right, in my view database is just for persistence, most of the time text processing happens in the application or framwwork. Database is a very well understood system so reading and writing to it using language drivers can be optimized. Indeed go and rust both have excellent drivers for PostgreSQL, but still developing web application in them is not easy due to inherent text processing requirements and dealing with http request/response in json, html, xml, protocol buffers, blobs and various mime-types.
Yes, and they still have AMD's orders going on for legacy products, auxiliary ICs, and interface logic.

That's entirely them giving up on existing as a proper market player, and the "farewell gift" to the industry before they self-destruct.

Having an idea of mentality of GlobalFoundries' new owners, I can say they care about having a return on their investment any way possible, and how they make that is of no importance to them.

Unlike a tech player with stake in the well being of larger ecosystem, or genuine fear of being denied the market by retaliatory lawsuits, those guys have no problem "setting the house on fire"

This is why they chose Germany out of all countries to file a patent lawsuit. Germany famously allows for instant summary injunctions in patent and other IP cases, which will be completely devastating for a company making actual physical products. Second to that, Germany controls the supply of few critical chemicals for semiconductor manufacturing, and they may opt to go for arm twisting with them too.

I can say that this is what we will see for year and years to come, unless something dramatic will finally happen to the patent system.
