What a bunch of nonsense, Fearmongering and outright lies.

There’s dozens of peer reviewed articles on asymptomatic spread of CoViD-19, referencing multiple positive tests of a symptomatic carriers, not just a single case as the author so blatantly lies. Scholar.google.com is really easy to search, you can actually discredit pretty much all of this author’s CoViD assertions within about 5 minutes.

I personally know 2 people who tested positive without symptoms. Why the hell would I trust a politically bent hack who asserts such easily refuted “facts”?
Congrats, they got more of the pie while reducing its total size. And getting my tax money on top of it via EU programs.
same here, I always liked the LG phones I have had. Very solid and works great. Sad to see this happening.
No idea why you're getting downvoted. This makes perfect sense. Especially for up and coming economies, they almost need to resort to these schemes. Anything "global" that doesn't take into account details of specific realities is usually a bad idea.
Because the US has atomic bombs.
You should really reword that, because now it sounds as an incredibly insensitive thing to say. She was a child when it happened. Bad things hurt so much more when you're a child.
We can definitely do better, but you have to allow for legal porn with consent to remain or else you will push everything to an underground market where the end result will be far less rules to control content.

One thing that would be nice is an automated take down. Anyone who no longer consents to their porn being hosted (or who never consented) can have the selected files added to a database and all porn sites would have to take down based upon matches to this database. This technology already exists with PhotoDNA for fighting known child porn (though I think the technical details are kept secret to avoid people finding work arounds).

As long as one draws a line between consensual and nonconsensual porn then I think you'll be able to crack down on the non-consensual material without having to worry about the failures of a 'war on x'.

Think of it like the difference between cracking down on weed and cracking down on synthetic 'weed' that is killing people. Or just look at stores that are able to sell alcohol. Because it is generally allowed, specific bans are much easier to enforce because business likes keeping the legal status.
I'm clicking through all the links in this article and can't find a single bit from Amazon's point of view. But my hazy memory says Amazon's story is they were fired because they were sending mass emails through the internal Amazon email system trying to unionize and wouldn't quit and use some other means of communication even after being counseled.

You'd expect the NYT's to give both side's at a minimum, or is Amazon a cartoon villain ran by a duck who swims in a silo of gold coins?

More precisely: corporate income tax incidence is split between consumers (higher prices), shareholders (lower dividends) and employees (lower salaries). The exact split is a topic of hot debate in the economics literature, and likely depends on the exact market conditions facing that specific company...

Similarly, the incidence of things like the employer half of FICA is somewhat split between the employer and the employee (in the form of lower salary for the latter). Here, as I understand it, the general consensus is that the incidence falls mostly on the employee, except in cases of binding constraints like the minimum wage.
And in some places, those are hard to avoid. My school in previous semester had a class that required online meetings that were recorded and transcriped with no way to opt out without affecting your grade. And explaining my beefs to professors is getting harder and harder ( ie. for an outside viewer it looks like I am not being reasonable ).
The government also collect payroll tax on the employee income from the employer. So it double-taxation+

Yeh especially when in reality Ireland is open about stuff whereas many other counties do it through the backdoor. Places like the US and UK give huge benefits to companies but many of them are less direct. Write-offs, overlooking offshoring, R&D etc

This is pretty common in many fields. Researchers don't have time to read they say. I see people that complain when they have to read one paper a week... This is disastrous in some labs where their only work is to rediscover things and add make-up so it looks new once they realize it is not.
Yes because the US is really going to threaten Ireland with atomic bombs...
That is honestly just the same old big tech story I've must have read a thousand times now.

Sure, it is a little bit more sinister than usual even, but that's just because the company in question serves a market with some very dark corners, like the assault featured in the article.

People here argue pro or contra porn prohibition or platform specifics, but it comes down to this: The Western world decided that giant multinationals sitting above countries, laws, ethics and responsibility holding all the data are the ultimate expression of the American Dream and should therefore exist undisturbed forever, growing bigger and bigger. Shit like this is just fallout from the gargantuan power distance between megacorp and human you get, by design.

Sure, there are probably ways to get PornHub to be sorry for that, make amends, change some rules. Whatever. Last week it was Uber discriminating, here it's PornHub violating, maybe next week it will be someone having his business destroyed because he associated with a scammer in 2004 again.

Every time there is juicy drama and a micro-outcome in this or that direction, but for someone reason the macro-problem gets mostly ignored.
Do you want an answer or do you just want lunchroom discussion? You may as well be asking for stock tips or tonight's lotto numbers. You won't find an answer that's accurate and reliable enough to be actionable here or anywhere.

If anyone could do more than idly speculate (probably dressed up with some tropes that play to the audience's confirmation bias to maximize virtue points) OEMs wouldn't be paying millions of dollars per year for the continued existence of their market and customer research teams.

The answers you're asking for don't yet exist. They are so many yet undetermined variables involved in predicting the future at the range you're asking about they're all just possibilities at this point.
Small businesses already don’t have the effective ability to structure their operations to take advantage of multiple domiciles’ different tax policies, because the fixed costs of such structures are high relative to their incomes and the consequential benefit they’d derive.

Such a policy would generally help small businesses who seek to compete against large multi-nationals, even around the edges.
yep, the tool chain startup costs in front end development are very high unfortunately
The big one is deducting interest paid. It greatly reduced the amount of money the government takes from me every year
This is a really helpful piece of advice, thank you. It's always helpful to remember that the return on investment we get in software for time and effort invested is astronomical compared to other fields.
Another attempt from the US to control the global economy. Next step, if a country doesn't comply with their global tax rates, it will be labeled enemy and suffer economic sanctions.
I would love to hear how they intend to enforce such a global minimum tax rate. As well how they would guarantee that no country offers a tax credit or otherwise to lower the numbers.

And then, of course, there's the really common trick of keepin profits on the books near zero for a corporation to avoid taxes altogether. Would they suddenly be taxing income and not profit?
This would be a good way to arrest the global race to the bottom on corporate tax rates.

It would allow income taxes to be commensurately reduced if multinational corporations get taxed more.

If you own a ton of shares in multinationals this would not be good for you but it would be for everyone else.
No low population country should agree to this simply because you can make the money back on volume.

Didn’t think someone actually looks at the page. Thank you!

Currently I am just saving away the page contents as a JSON when rendering the page. My mom has all media locally. TBH, I considered just crawling all the pages and media via the API/SDK with a scheduled job in CI. Maybe saving them in a git repo to get history for free or just uploading a zip every week to backblaze.

Thanks for the SEO tips. Will definitely look into hosting smaller images and the font, also need to add meta tags for descriptions, maybe some JSON LD and other shenanigans for Facebook, Twitter, etc. Had to focus on the mom-visible stuff first ;)

Also wanted to look into analytics with something privacy friendly like https://umami.is/

Microsoft only had to worry about antitrust because of their previous anticompetitive/antimarket behavior. It is easy to imagine ways that Microsoft could have fostered the ecosystem while supporting Quick Look in File Explorer.
Why? Is porn bad per se?
Surely you mean marginal tax rates and not effective rates? Or is it true that at 124K you pay ~74K but at 126K you pay less, ~50K?
Small business are the only ones who actually have to pay the taxes, while big corps avoid them.

When I try to respond `without any emotion` to the question `Do we want more “mass deletions” of content like Tumblr, Pornhub, etc ?' , the answer that first comes up is `why not?`.

The Spock couldn't care less about these websites -- they are mostly entertainment, after all -- and on the other hand the risk that they someday archive something that may damage you is not nil.
So there is one clear cold, logical conclusion.
I agree that she should move on but the porn industry also needs regularization, random people should not be able to upload anything they wish at the click of a button.

While I agree with your sentiment, we will miss the early days, but internet was in its "teenager" phase, wild chaotic, fun, but not sustainable.

The fact that small sites have been swallowed by facebook & co. , the knowledge bubbles cause by "smart" search engines, etc. those are another topic entirely.

Corporate taxes should be structured more like usage fees instead of being a tax on profits. Want to emit carbon? It costs $X/ton. You shouldn't get away with doing bad stuff for free just because you did it unprofitably.
My anecdotal experience: My wife and I both had LG phones, Nexus 5x, for about 9 months before they stopped being usable. Dealing with poorly made equipment and terrible warranty service was more than enough to ensure I wouldn't be buying any more LG products.

While I don't like a lot of their software, my experience with Samsung's hardware, and their warranty service for that matter, have been much more pleasant.

edit: On a somewhat related note, I recently bought a new Samsung TV. True to Samsung form, the software is terrible but the hardware has been very solid.
Based on how the US behaves generally, just sanction them to hell.

Theranos's whole product concept was unscientific and far more than just an unsolved engineering problem. It is biologically impossible to get accurate results on most assays from a single finger prick drop of blood. That can work reasonably well for a few things like glucose level or positive/negative on antibodies but generally it's a dead end.
Appliance Repairing Companies should follow these Crucial Tips
When people choose a company for the repairing of home appliances, they usually approach the same company again if they get satisfactory results. For instance, if you are providing washing machine repair in Etobicoke, try to serve people for other types of home appliances as well because this will increase the number of clientele and ultimately, the profit margin will rise.
I'm from the "new camp", my career started with a React JS gig and I've been in that space ever since. My typical stack is React frontend + Severless backend + FaunaDB if I need a DB.

> She was a child when it happened

I'm confused. The article is talking about her ex-husband. Did she marry as a child? Or did some things happen to her as a child and later her husband of all people got his hands on some recordings? Or are you talking about some other person than the woman in the article?
Of course they know it exists. They tried to avoid engaging in attempts to politicise a health crisis.

Also, only 14 of the 193 member states of the UN recognise Taiwan as an independant nation, and "WHO" stands for World Health Organisation.

A unilateral global regime is the only complete solution to prevent capital from fleeing to lower-tax locales (e.g. Cayman Islands).

That said, the same incentives for smaller countries to offer lower tax rates will make them unwilling to agree to a global regime. And a global taxation regime would require a degree of international cooperation that has never been seen.

Janet is laying the groundwork for a potential policy which would take decades if not 100 years to come to fruition. She is extremely smart and intentional about her words, as a leader of the Fed.
Yeah, especially considering the fact that Russia and China are ditching the dollar. No one cares what America has to say anymore.

The incentivizing argument seems to be a red herring because in no universe would we legalize some subset of child porn that is shown to not incentivize more being produced, no matter how clearly such a case was shown.
As much as this would be excellent. I don't think a dying company will have the funds to do a full code audit and clean out everything everything have under license, under nda or under some other legal agreement and still have a functional code base at the end.
I have an issue with Yellen and it has nothing to do with her policies. It is with her use of online notifications via FinCEN. As annoying as Mnuchin was, he didn't send an update readout of the time he farted in a museum or read a treatise on funding random things. She seems to treat the entire ecosystem as her own personal PR team.
Takedowns are a perfectly valid thing to have for something like pornography websites. Its not life threatening if it vanished for a few hours, but it can be devastating if it stays on long-term.

Another comment correctly pointed out that we would not treat this as laissez faire if it was a child, but we should. There is a victim who has had harm done to them during the creation of the video.
Trashing some offices is nowhere near overthrowing a government.

And pornographers did much, much worse. They trafficked underage women, misrepresented the contracts, routinely provided drugs to dull their actors' senses, and engaged in all kinds of underhanded or outright criminal conduct.

That will work as long as other countries accept it.
For starters the Federal level has access to waaay more money and sources of money (including just 'printing' money, investment taxes, etc.) than any state and the larger the population the more power a government has in bargaining. It's also much easier for companies and people to just abandon a state to avoid paying new taxes than it is for them to leave the US entirely.

The power of the minority was a crappy compromise to get the less densely populated states (not coincidentally southern slave owning states) to sign on to the constitution. The original Articles of Confederation were even worse requiring basically unanimity to pass federal laws and taxes. The whole job of the Senate was to appease those same states. Do any other countries have this kind of explicit carve out for land (essentially) getting an equal weight?
I don't get the downvotes. Thats exactly how it goes, how the US in the past retained the "first global power" trophy it now lost.

Future prediction: This would be a good application of some thing like Ethereum NFT.

While I agree with your suggestion, the article notes that PH did request removals for her and still concludes by attributing blame to PH for the video being newly uploaded elsewhere (despite the fact that her ex husband likely has a copy which he may have uploaded again)
It's pretty worrying how large companies use social media and its excesses (among other things) to divert focus away from their more suspect practices, so it can be pointed at other specific people. Regardless of whatever one thinks of Stallman, more should be talked about these corporations strong arming foundations and other organizations.
For air-gapped recordings the technique that one person mentions (locally record and make brief notes/timing of important parts of the conversation--there are devices that will do this semi-automatically) is probably the best approach.

I'd also note that ML transcriptions are useful in the context of this article, i.e. to get rough cheap transcripts. But, if you value your time above minimum wage, human transcription is a lot better if you actually want to publish a transcript of an interview.

This is not necessary. They only have to tax the parent company at 21% and any of it's subsidiaries. If on the other hand a company buys services from its subsidiaries located abroad, then impose a customs tax of 21% for any imports / exports.

I think this is good idea and thinking far into the future. With corporations constantly paying an lower tax rate than individuals and being able to move HQ to countries that offer a bigger tax break is leading to corporate taxes being deferred to the individuals. Prisoner's dilemma. This I hope will break that cycle and corporations can finally pay their fair share of the taxes.
In many industries it's hard to quantify the value of imports from the parent company.

What is the value of the software engineering services Amazon US provide to Amazon UK, maintaining amazon.co.uk? Because, rationally, that's an expense of the UK company.

How much in the Starbucks brand worth? How do you distinguish a franchise from a subsidiary? If Starbucks split in two, with Starbucks Corporation maintaining only the trademarks and associated IP, and sold all the actual stores it owns to a second company Coffee Shop Corporation which started off as a franchise (and there exist franchised Starbucks stores today), which then paid licensing fees to the franchisor, would that be any different?

Like, there's definitely questions to be had about international accounting, but some of the complexity is because national subsidiaries rarely operate in isolation, and valuing much of what they get from their parent organisation is exceptionally hard.
