Sorry, you have no idea what you are talking about.

1) Here are the corporate taxes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporation_tax_in_France

2) The 75% is not a "revenue" tax. You don't even know what revenue is.

>The tax introduced by Francois Hollande as the 75% tax is in fact an additional employer contribution of 50% which when existing social security charges are added reaches 75%. The proposed tax was subsequently modified after being rejected by the Council of State[7] and was implemented in 2014 in its current form and will be discontinued as of January 2015

The discontinued 75% "tax" also included pension and health insurance.

If this not existing tax is not what you were referring to, what is this "revenue tax" you are talking about.

Honestly I think it's sad how much the community still underestimates gaming.

I tried using wine or even using Steam directly on Linux, but playing any game with 30-40% less performance is ridiculous.

If you really like games, Linux is unusable for anything big.

I've had to dual boot Windows for the last 10 years just to play a game without stuttering, lag, huge FPS drops, etc.

Nothing would make me happier than being able to only use Linux, but until the community takes gaming seriously, people are forced to use Windows.
If you're suggesting a 1 year patent period for all utility patents, you might as well just get rid of patents. In the industry I work in (Biotech - DNA sequencing) it takes maybe 5 years to mature an approach and get it to market.

Once your patent is published, there isn't much to stop others developing the same method [1] (they just would run into trouble if they sold it commercially). So at the same time that the patent owner is developing their platform, a competitor can be developing theirs and launch at the same time or nearly the same time as you.

Certain areas, like software patents, I'd possibly agree. I don't think software/algorithm patents are a good idea for a number of reasons however...

[1] General consensus seems to be patents don't cover academic work. I've also heard that they don't cover commercial research, and that in any case it's hard to provide damages. http://softlib.rice.edu/ques.html#2

Windows 7 is unrefined? I have the opposite experience. Windows 7 feels like a finished product, that in addition is designed to help me work. Windows 8+ feels more like a Linux distribution in comparison, with inconsistent features & UIs everywhere, as if they were just a mash-up of random packages made by random open-source developers with no leader nor common goal. Actually the only thing that can be compared to a goal is that all the features are in some way or another designed to get in my way, waste my time, compromise my privacy, and just in general prevent me from doing actual work.

I've written about this game and the process of making it here https://github.com/adnzzzzZ/blog/issues/35 and here https://github.com/adnzzzzZ/blog/issues/31 if you're curious.

>See how it cuts both ways?

Not really. I haven't been in the industry for 25 years and I haven't written articles excusing my game's poor visual quality. I'm aware of my abilities and I'm constantly working on improving them. For instance, you can see the current game I'm working on here https://twitter.com/adnzzzzZ and generally people are responding better to its visuals than they did for my previous game.

If you find me 20 years from now making the same types of games and writing articles about how my games look bad and how it's actually all intentional then maybe you'll have an argument.
I may be completely off-base since Microsoft surely has some numbers we don’t that justify their choice of licensing model, but from my perspective, and from a few real experiences helping family and friends, people figure their PCs were at the end of their life and needed an entire replacement. Installing the free Windows 10 upgrade changes their mind - now they think their computer is perfectly up to date, at least for a few more years. These are machines with specs that look like Core 2 Duo or 1st gen Core i3, 250 GB spinning rust drive, 4 GB RAM. Those specs are especially prolific in decommissioned office PCs sent to recyclers who give them a fresh 7 or 10 license. They’re cheap, plentiful, and come with warranty, so plenty of people go for them.

Another thing to consider is volume licenses weren’t able to take up the offer - the company had to pay for their Windows 10 upgrade. Enterprise licensing is the Microsoft money maker.

If you've ever been on Roatan or someplace similar when a big cruise ship comes in, you'll know the feeling: Most of the time it's a sleepy little beach town with cheap accommodation and beers, and friendly local folk going about their business. Then one day you wake up and it's "Welcome To Jamaica, Mon!!!"

All the colorful townspeople are out in their Traditional Island Dress, doing their Traditional Island Dance to the Traditional Island Music in the streets. Everybody suddenly has piles of overpriced tourist junk to sell you, and those cheap beers are now $8 each.

Giant flotillas of inflated red kayaks bob around in the bay, carrying inflated pink tourists in inflated orange life vests. Lots of pictures are taken of another Island Paradise.

Then things pack up, heaps of garbage are swept aside, and the place goes back to its old, pleasant, self again.

Life is so good on the "backpacker" side of that experience, and so bad on the "cruiser" side, that it's good to hear that they're finally just sequestering them all away in a single place. If any of them ever want to experience the Carribbean in its actual form, it'll hopefully be waiting there unspoiled.

Logistics and distribution are low margin operations and so make small profits and so pay small amounts of corporation tax.

If the operations of Apple, say, in those countries are mostly logistics and distribution, then the profits of those subsidiaries will be low. By international tax law your German subsidiary cannot charge $200 per iPhone to bring it from a port warehouse to a retail outlet. It can only book a "reasonable" or arms-length profit for it's part of getting an iPhone into the hands of a consumer.

I'd say it's more like one fish jumped in your arms and you start descriping it when it was the thought coming into your focus and and not your focus choosing the thought.

You can of course reiterate and sort your knowledge by thinking about it if there is a reason.

The best thing you can do is post images/gifs of what you're working on social media (twitter, tumblr, reddit) and see how many likes/upvotes it gets. As you post things you will be able to compare either to your past posts or to posts of others on how well it does, and if something goes significantly above/below average you can derive that it likely looks better/worse than whatever it's being compared against.
I feel like this attitude lets big companies off the hook in a way. Yes, as the company grows it becomes more likely that they'll make these compromises, but that doesn't mean it's inevitable.

> That's such a strawman. He doesn't need to be a top-tier artist. He just needs to know enough to not suck at art. Diminishing returns means that he could spend much less time than that.

Becoming a top-tier artist takes much longer even when the talent is there (intuitively, I would say a decade). The 6-12 months of intensive learning that Jeff Vogel claims seems to me a good estimate for the time that is required not to suck at art.

New Python Framework: DaPy brings you a smooth data mining journey you never had
Gender studies did indeed start out this way, dismissive of notions of "biological sex," until the case of David Reimer threw a bucket of cold water on those second-wave feminist theories. David was the victim of a botched circumcision as an infant. His doctors decided to turn an outie into an innie, constructed a vagina, and told his parents to raise him as a woman. He was given "vitamin" pills (actually estrogen) and forcibly socialized as female, but it didn't take. He identified as male throughout his life, transitioned as an adult, eventually discovered the truth his parents were hiding and finally killed himself.

This was an early factor in third-wave feminism accepting gender identity, which is why almost all millenial and gen-Z feminists accept trans and intersex people and why TERFs tend to be older (or deceased, good riddance Janice Raymond.)

I've found that the left tends to distrust science that may contradict its ideology, and the right tends to distrust experiences too alien from their own. In Reimer's case, the science had a human tragedy at the center of it which bridged the gap and led to change.

Just IMO, programming is addictively fun and can be shallow.

I can get that. In 1985 when I was programming my own BBS from scratch I would skip going out with friends to work on it. All that time spent on a computer as a child provided a very lucrative and rewarding career however so I don’t think I’d change any of it.

Ironically though based on your other comments in this thread I do wish I learned maths more!
> I guess the cruise tourists do bring in quite a bit of money from eating in the restaurants, buying souvenirs etc, so not that much of a negative for the locals.

"Locals" aren't a homogenous group. The city budget does benefit, and so do people working in businesses serving tourists directly - restaurants, gift shops, hotels, ticket offices, etc. Everyone else hates it. Tourism, especially of intermittent kind, disrupts regular life of regular people.

You're being pretty quick to judge here.

I've never worked on a startup and have no intention to do it. I live in a poor country where the average developer earns $8k/year and very few of us have any fallback. Mentioning startups was a way to relate to people here on HN.

If you don't focus on the specifics I bet you can come up with examples that relate to you and my argument still stands. Everyone has a different worry. Putting one's worries on a pedestal and discarding everyone else's as "not as bad" is pretty shallow to me.

Could it be MS deliberately trying to train users to read and understand messages, especially long ones, before clicking "I agree"? I think you can opt out of many problematic features if you pay attention where you click during the OS setup. The licenses are checked online in Win10, so you can download an ISO from Microsoft.com, do clean install, and if you've installed same edition on the same PC it will be activated.

I think the difference here is that I don't see education and internalising costs as protecting us from ourselves in the sense given by the OP (that even knowing perfectly the costs, we humans will still make the wrong decision and so need further protection from ourselves).

Here in the UK I have bought several OEM parts from Toyota service centres by walking in off the street. Some service centres (not my local one) even sell surplus inventory on ebay.

"analog child being introduced to the digital magic."

In high school, my electricity teacher made us draw the sine waves of monophasic and tri-phasic (if that's what it's called in English?) voltages manually by drawing into a Cartesian arrangement and projecting onto a line diagram, much like the animation about halfway through the article. It was tedious and it seemed very repetitive to draw the various variations, but in later years I started to understand its relevance (also with regards to the relation between current, voltage and power). Just in general it gave me such a good example of the relationship between the geometry, trigonometry and calculus involved, much better than the canonical speed/distance example ever did (for me). There are only a few core concepts I learned in high school that I still use often, and this is definitely one of them.
