> public corporations are obliged to publish accurate accounts

Those aren't for taxation, though. It's "our global company made profits in country X". The taxation is interested in the actual taxable profits in country X, and those are close to zero, because of said tactic (license fees, consulting fees etc). It's really well documented, and there's little incentive to change the whole tax system to account for tax-evasion strategies.
Interesting point, that you cannot really escape the fees. Thanks for your input.
asus vivobook s15 s510un (slim, 1.7kg, full hd, 128 ssd, 1TB hdd, 8/16 gb ram, 2gb nvida)

- dual boot with linux and windows ( disable fast boot and startup in windows). buy with global warranty. very good for programming and overall. for heavy video editing, chck reviews, may not work.

believe me asus is the one of most underrated brand for laptops.

Right, but this is about France, where they didn't declare a profit of 7 billion dollars. Let's refrain from trying to be technically correct by not looking at the context of comments and then arguing against a straw man.

"..using their influence internally to push Google toward creating a more just world"

The above statement terrifies me. We didn't elect anyone at Google to do this for us.

It's amazing how these companies think they can literally buy you and own you, like a slave.

Not only they expect you to be available around the clock but even tell you what you can and can't do with the little free time they leave you left.
These laws didn't appear out of the blue, they're created and lobbied for by rich companies making money off copyright. Blaming Google for facilitating further abuse of copyright laws is a fair thing to do, and frankly, the unlikely event in which Google uses its money to put pressure towards fixing these laws is still more likely than the laws getting fixed because "we the people" somehow coordinated enough on the issue.

I think encoding audio/video is much more demanding than decoding them, and even if it weren't, conferencing is two-way so you should expect your machine to work at least twice as hard as for one-way video.

Anyway, I also work remotely but visit an office a few times a month, that is really helpful both from the technical side of things and socially.

Also, having worked in companies using one or the other exclusively, video conferencing is much much better than audio only. Seeing your colleagues' faces makes you feel so much more connected and less like strangers.
> internet giants do NOT declare zero profit

Could you tell me their profits in France, Germany, Spain, Italy and then compare it to their profit in Ireland? The point here is not that they make no profit. It's that the Irish subsidiary charges the French, German, Spanish and Italian subsidiaries a "license" fee equal to the profit that each of them makes. So all of these subsidiaries make 0 profit, the Irish subsidiary makes a fat profit. But the kicker is that in Ireland their effective tax rate is nearly 0. So they pay no tax on all their European profits.
1600km in an Electric Vehicle
My reasoning to critizise him goes like this:

It is quite apparent that he knows about the meanings and uses of the symbol, therefore he could (and should) have anticipated the discussion. I grew up in an environment where nazi insignia are forbidden, and a very common way for convinced nazis to get around this was to just flip the damn thing and claim it is ok now, while in spirit you still go and use it to hail hitler with your friends.

I grew up in southern Austria next to the Slovenian border (which is where this guy is based). This part of Austria had a 40% right wing majority in the past and after a few beers right wingers still openly hail hitler in a pub, despite that beeing illegal. My grandfather who passed away a few years ago was a convinced nazi — this thing is still alive here.

The author is based in slovenia, literally a hour by car from where I lived. There is no way somebody from that area uses that symbol accidentally, without having considered its nazi connotations. This is an area where every other person had somebody in his family killed by nazis or were profiting from it in some way.

So either this person is incredibly naive and tries to overwrite history that is still very much ongoing or it is somebody who in full knowledge of all of this still decided to go with the symbol. In any way it doesn’t look good to me.

Updated the comment. $8xxK was mentioned somewhere in the slides as well.
Those are US corporate accounts and absolutely are used as the basis for US taxation. The fact that a corporation can make billions of dollars of profit but not have to immediately pay corporation tax on the profit was a quirk of US corporate tax law. Those tax liabilities really do exist. Just because you don't pay tax immediately (say on your salary) doesn't mean you are paying zero tax.
Fair enough. I didn't catch the recent requirement. Well Postgres keeps on evolving with recent features, every major version brings something new and great.

Me too, i never ever seen any ad on win10 - both home and pro versions(on a side note - home version is nigh unusable when it starts it's anti-malware scan - even on fresh install))

I do always turn off every possible telemetry setting.

I've never ever seen them at my work too - we use pro version of windows10 for most PCs.
The whole point of corporate ethics is to benefit from collective effort while pretending it's about individual talent and heroism - the kind of talent and heroism that is so unusual, so special, so dynamic, so productive, and so, well, rich it absolutely deserves a free pass from the ethical constraints that apply to lesser individuals.

It's pure special pleading, but Wall St couldn't operate without it.
As both a pedestrian and a driver, I certainly have to read social cues.

If I'm walking up to a pedestrian crossing and a car is approaching, I don't just step out into the road, even though I have the right of way. I try to make eye contact with the driver to see if they recognize I'm crossing. They'll often nod or do something similar to signal that they're letting me cross.

A machine has to understand these social cues as well. It might even be helpful if the machine has a way to signal its intentions back to pedestrians.
Even 70ms isn't all that long compared to the the official (let alone real-world) thinking-time estimates for braking http://www.brake.org.uk/component/tags/tag/thinking-time , so it might not be an unacceptable delay, at least if combined with professional drivers and reduced speed limits and/or failsafe locally-controlled AI braking.
Foucault and Derrida are certainly still read widely (and deservedly so IMO) - more widely than Paglia in Europe at least - describing them as 'minor' is a little silly. You don't have to accept everything they say to see that they have some relevance and value.

Ask HN: Looking for an Alternative to Jira
I've been using Jira on a Starter licence since I was in university. Over time I've found that it's become steadily more bloated, heavy and costly. Several key features which were previously built-in are now plugins with a fairly high aggregate cost.

I've been out of the open-source bug-tracker loop for way too long. Are there any good alternatives to JIRA?

Essentially I need a bugtracker which can handle multiple projects and separate the bugs out on that basis. Custom workflow support would be good, but not essential (as nerdy as it sounds, I sometimes use JIRA as a digital to-do list).

The lower resolution one looks worse, because when I see low-resolution art like that I expect to see pixel art, but it's just resampled high-resolution art. It doesn't exploit the non-point-sample reality of pixels to create the illusion of higher resolution like pixel art does.

The middle one changes the meaning of the green liquid next to the building. The original uses a bright saturated green, which is the standard visual code for "harmful to touch" (e.g. acid or radioactive waste). The modified version merely looks like dirty water.

The solar ramp-down is faster than the AC ramp-down. If you have a dumb thermostat, it runs the AC a fraction of the time which is a function of the outside temperature. However, the temperature stays elevated some hours after sunset, but the solar supply drops off quickly some hours before sunset. Solar supply is pretty well matched to AC demand except for a big mismatch a few hours around sunset.

Consider California. Currently, this mismatch is taken up by fossil fuel plants and imports, but the solar demand drops off so fast that they have real difficulty in ramping up as needed. Batteries are a major part of the solution, but another part is improved transmission of wind from states to the east. This will cost less than you might think.

California might use 800GWh daily; and yes, installing 800GWh of battery capacity would be prohibitively expensive. However, the wind picks up in the evening just a few hours after the sun goes down, so the batteries really just need to shift some excess power from midday to the evening. When I last calculated this, the additional transmission + batteries would cost around $40 billion.

Interestingly, smart thermostats can make this worse: devices with a home/away mode allow the house to warm up when no one is inside because the owner doesn't want to pay for cooling that they won't enjoy. However, as all of these owners return home after work and school, this creates a demand spike; also, the AC units on these houses, which have been allowed to warm up, now need to run far longer into the evening. Really, the home/away feature is a little bit of a hack: the real goal is to minimize cost with some constraints on the temperature, and the utility ought to pay owners to shift their demand forward from evening to midday. This is like getting paid to store energy temporarily.

So some combination of demand shifting---either with smart-er thermostats or batteries---adding other generation sources like wind, and some additional transmission, mean that California really can get to 100%. It will not be free, but it seems like the cost is less than $100 billion.

Now in Texas, the situation is somewhat reversed. There is too much wind generation, and not enough solar, but the upshot is similar.
And Fools, Frauds and Firebrands by Roger Scruton.
Here's an example: A German company pays to advertise to a German consumer. It used to be that the money spent on that advertisement went to a German advertisement company, so that money would stay in the German economy, and the system would be sustainable, with money flowing around the system but not escaping. Now the ad money ends up in the Cayman Islands via Ireland and none of it is retained in Germany because the multinational advertising company has no/very few employees in Germany (no salaries/income tax) there's no VAT (because the ad sale is a B2B transaction) and there's no corporate taxes (because the ad company uses transfer pricing - e.g. licensing of IP that they can price arbitrarily - to shift all their profits to Ireland where they make them disappear in a puff of smoke). The end result is that money is being siphoned out of the German economy and into tax havens (so there's no return flow like there'd be if this was just normal trade with other active economies) making it harder and harder to sustain the German economy. There's a leak in the system when selling to consumers, and if it's left unchecked it'll slowly collapse the middle class and consumerism as we know it. I'm not sure if revenue tax is the best solution, but we need A solution. (or you know, we could just blame the foreigners and let the weakest parts of society fight over the jobs and shreds of wellfare state that are left, which seems to be the preferred solution these days). Mind you I'm not arguing against international trade (which increases competition and drives down prices) but against the unfair competitive advantage that multinational companies, especially digital ones, have over local companies by not needing to pay taxes at all. We need an even playing field, tax-wise, that's all.
That's just another reason to consider advertising-funded services as fundamentally anticompetitive and get rid of them.

I’m not that familiar with her work. But my understanding is that when disciplines like gender studies were being formed they completely ignored biology and nature.in fact there were no biologists in the gender studies departments. And she was one of the first people to suggest that we must study gender with a basis in biology.

This is what she may be referencing in the passage you quoted.

I guess you will need to rethink about the order or magnitude of the pressure you cited:

Easy comparison terms are pressure to create artificial diamonds 18 GPa, pressure at the bottom of the Mariana Trench 110 MPa.
