>this is why it makes sense that companies can walk a fine line on taxes, save tons of money, and you and I cannot.

Nope, these are the reasons that cause the situation. This outcome does /not/ make sense nobody sane without a huge vested interest would design a system to achieve less tax paid when you earn more. It's entirely contrary to the intent and spirit of the tax code. This is not sensible. How to fix it? That's harder. Start with its a problem and morally and ethically wrong. It's really the only place to start from. I would say keep in mind two wrongs is not an improvement and unchecked government power is far worse than tax cheats but that does not change where this discussion should start.
Knowledge Management and Employee Turnover
Knowledge management is a major challenge when software developers tend to change jobs every two years. How can you better retain your top developers? What can you do if one of your main knowledge keepers decides to find another job?

The top two reasons why software developers leave a company involve career advancement opportunities along with their pay and benefits package. Others leave because they don’t fit in, over management issues, or because they want more flexibility.

Somewhat oversimplified, you don't need a herd of corporations to do this - simply sell your house to a trust fund of which you or someone you trust is the primary beneficiary. In Jersey, Luxembourg or the like. You pay a lawyer who already does this for many funds to administer yours.

You then either rent the house from the trust for a minimal amount, or the trust lets you stay there rent-free as a guest. This is also how many of the wealthy get around inheritance tax. When you cash in your chips your will appoints your offspring/significant other as the primary beneficiary and the wheel keeps turning.

As with all things in life knowing the thing is often the hard part. Most of us don't know what questions to ask.

On a different note, recently I was looking to learn AWS concepts through online courses. After so much of research I finally found this e-book on Gumroad which is written by Daniel Vassallo who has worked in AWS team for 10+ years. I found this e-book very helpful as a beginner.

This book covers most of the topics that you need to learn to get started:

If someone is interested, here is the link :)

I find it bizarre how many arguments on the topic are just of the type "microservices are the cure" / "microservices are cancer" - no reflection on specific domains and context.

It's very much like the case with unit tests.

What is a unit? How small is micro? These two questions on their own are subject of debates of religious proportions.
I tend to see these solution used where before there wouldn't be anyone to point the camera in the first place.

That said I don't agree. If you can afford the technology for this type of camera and the connectivity to get it online, you can afford to pay someone £20 to point the camera for a couple of hours. It's a great opportunity for people still in school to start, and far more fulfilling than stacking shelves.
If you believe the free market isn’t designed you’re in for a few bad experiences. Rules of the market are absolutely required to be consciously created, otherwise the free market becomes a monopoly. Remember that anarchy is just a prelude to despotism, both economically and politically.

A further suggestion to the ones here, would making a public slack for your users to join help? Slightly different to the others in that this now remains open for everyone to join and stay for as long as they need.

> Personally I don't think it is fair or likely healthy in the long term for the society to let vast majority of the income/wealth of wealthy and thus powerful people to go untaxed

But this is already happening even with the current system that attempts to tax company profits, isn't it? My point is that taxing the person instead of the company would enable taxing the wealthy. There are already quite severe restrictions of using company assets for your personal benefit, at least where I live that is taxable as income.

I should amend how I expressed the idea: I never meant that companies pay no tax at all, only that they'd pay no tax on profit (which can be hidden for the yearly checkpoint by creative accounting). That leaves all sorts of tax categories still available for use (land, transactions, resource usage), which are much harder to hide or deny. A company making profit would be involved in some activity that would be taxable through these. Money on a bank account is by itself a bad medium to store wealth, as it's generally subject to 1%~5% yearly inflation.

Whether wealth (aside from income/profit) of individuals or companies should be taxed is a different discussion. Many countries choose to tax wealth only when it's in form of land or constructed property.
I checked, and they are still selling knives. Sure, you can use a knife to cut food or walk through the woods pretending to be a "survivalist" (judging from my search for "knives"), but it can also be used to murder people.

But also checked "TVs", and they are absolutely still selling those. TVs are like the number one item used for infringement. I am VERY confused.

And don't get me started about food. Without food, it's basically impossible to infringe, yet ebay allows all sorts of food listings.
This is so very tempting!
I am totally OK with not giving attention and a place in history to “giants” who consider basic human decency a stretch for their imagination.
It's more complicated than "just increase the supply". We've seen this play out in the first half of 2020.

1) Retooling factories and setting up supply chains takes time. You can't just start pumping out PPEs out of a new plant in a week; it takes months to organize.

2) In an emergency, by the time the production is ramped up, the demand may be gone. Some mask manufacturers were reluctant to increase their capacity early this year, because they've been burned by this in the past: they've overproduced for SARS, only to see the demand evaporate as the pandemic subsided, and were left holding the bag.
A disadvantage to terminal based text editors is that you are limited to the performance, unicode support, etc, of the terminal emulator.

Can you elaborate how 'Ctrl-x f' looks up a file name?

I tried 'Ctrl-x' but it decrements the integer under the cursor by 1. I tried 'f' but it starts a new motion command to search the next occurrence of the character following it to the right. Example: 'fx' will place the cursor on the next occurrence of 'x' to the right.

Rust Like Shading Language

rust-gpu will replace RLSL
English definitely has two registers, that you might find in use in the same sentence. This becomes clear if you e.g. translate a scientific text into Dutch or German.

"Carbon" becomes "Kohlenstoff", and "metabolism" becomes "Stoffwechsel" in German.

These might be literally translated back as "Coal-stuff" and "stuff-change" but that is an unfamiliar way to say it in English because it remains in the lower register, not derived academically from old Latin and Greek.
No, the alternative was masks at regular prices with sales restricted to hospitals and industries (jobs that need N95 or better for occupational safety), and unallocated flow sold out on consumer market with purchase limits.

Indeed, the point is countries have a good track record of investing billions of tax money in cuckoo projects.

Massive investments are by far are not an indication of a future success, nor can they influence it.

In this case, no amount of money can do anything about the thermodynamics of the process.
Pure greed dictates that companies must do what is best for the individual company. Grow like cancer, engulf all competition, capture the market etc.

However, the owners of the company are humans that do not need to be constrained by those rules. Indeed, humans can hold other values higher - such as seeing that acting in the benefit of the entire society or even to benefit the entire planet is better than focusing on the best for a single corporation.

Pretend for a while that you are the majority owner of an internet company that preys on attention. You can capture the attention of millions, even billions of humans, and grow your vast empire. You can even become so successful that humans choose your product before the attention of other humans, choosing the dopamin kick from social media before real social interactions.

But...should you? Replacing the social interactions of an entire planet might make you rich today, but the price might be very high. Even your own offspring might suffer and perish in a world where social life has been replaced by hearts, thumbs up and endless scrolling.

Heron Data | Founding Engineer | London | Full time | On-site https://www.herondata.io/company/careers-2

Heron Data is a Y Combinator-backed technology company based in Farringdon, London. We are a team of three founders on a mission to accelerate innovation in fintech, initially by helping companies make sense of their customers' bank transaction data to generate insights and power features.

As the first hire outside of the three co-founders, this role is as close to being a founder of a company as you can get without starting one yourself! Your role will be to define and deliver features, fully own parts of our stack, and ultimately do whatever is needed to help our customers be happy.

This role is based in London - working from home is generally possible for some part of the week, and potentially mandatory for the immediate future. As the first employee, you will receive substantial equity compensation.

You should:

- Have experience writing and shipping production-grade code that makes a real impact. We don't mind where you got the experience, but having some is crucial.

- Be comfortable working across the stack and be curious about new technologies. We would prefer if in addition to this versatility and curiosity, you have deep experience or specialisation in one of front-end, back-end, infrastructure or NLP/ML.

- Be entrepreneurial. This means finding problems without being told about them, thinking independently about issues and clearly advocating your position, and taking full ownership of your work, even if things go wrong.

If you're interested, contact us directly at hello@herondata.io!
Manufacturers aren't stupid and don't do impulse response. If they can tell the price shock is likely transient - that the demand will evaporate before they'll manage to ramp up production - then they won't even bother.

Vague idea:

The government can compulsorily acquire the domestic domiciled assets of any company for 50? 100? times that company's declared taxable income with some appropriate average over the previous 5 years.

You earn nothing taxable here? Great for your tax bill but now you can worry about the capital loss and loss of control of trademarks & patents domestically. Better to declare the profit and pay the tax like an honest person...

For me, typing when the computer can type faster than me breaks the flow. Though your auto complete is very bad if it needs you to pick things from a list - 99% of the time it's just "type a couple of first letters, <ctrl-space>, repeat for the next token."

I don’t fully understand why corporations are taxed in the first place.

All the money the corporation takes in ultimately gets spent on operating expenses, or is profit that is then distributed to shareholders who then owe taxes on that income.

If it’s annoying and counter intuitive that corporations are in some legal senses considered people, it is even more confusing that they pay taxes.

This sets up a crazy situation where employees of the corporations start lobbying and messing with policy and regulations so it favors the organization.

Seems like bad piled on top of bad. Increasing the tax rate on investment income is basically the same thing as taxing corporations, but would remove all these perverse incentives.

The flaw is simple: you'll end up with only having as criminal defence attorneys those people who didn't succeed at being civil case attorneys, as everyone will prefer to earn more money with mostly the same training. So you won't have any outstanding criminal defence attorneys, which is equivalent to undermining the rights of those of need to defend themselves in criminal cases.

If you want to go this way, you have to go for the full-fledged solution: either the defendant choses their attorney (at a capped price) or an attorney shall be selected at random among all attorneys registered with the bar and must take charge of the case, the only exception being if they have a valid conflict of interest in that case.
I just read a story about how in the 1950s some citizens in Appalachia couldn't get their representatives to give a damn about fixing the run-down single bridge to their small isolated town far away from the big cities of importance.

So what they did was to ask the Soviet Union's representative office in the United States to sponsor their bridge repair, and they let all the newspapers know about it.

Sooner than you could blink, the state politicians reversed course and ponied up the $ for the bridge.

Maybe sometimes what you need is your enemies to be shown to be exploiting your weaknesses so that someone cares enough to fix it.

> If the gouging is happening at the penultimate step of the supply chain and the profits mostly don't make it back to the manufacturer, then price gouging can't do much to incentivize higher production.

And that was, in fact, the problem with price gouging of PPEs in this pandemic. The manufacturers didn't raise prices, the stores didn't rise prices - it's the middle-men who swooped in, bought all the stock at retailers and wholesalers, and resold at inflated prices. None of the pricing signal made it back to manufacturers.

Initially, I’m going to try to use a power cable in a color that matches the wall. The spot I have in mind is above some knee-high shelves, so I’d probably only need to run the cable for half a meter before it vanishes behind them. Hopefully it shouldn’t be too jarringly visible! As I’m renting the apartment, I can’t really poke holes in the walls to hide cables (sadly).

Alternately, there are some other shelves of a more normal height that I could just set it on top of; the power cable would be much less visible that way.

But I do like the idea of having it on a wall. As you say, the trick is going to be working out how to camouflage the cable.
