> capital from fleeing to lower-tax locales (e.g. Cayman Islands)

I don't think the problem is the Cayman Islands, although it's the one people think of.

Instead, take a look at the places that the big multinationals choose to put their overseas revenue through. This side of the Atlantic two high on the list would be Luxembourg and Ireland. Then look at the corporation tax rates in those jurisdictions[0].

> I think a government where the majority party can't actually implement any kind of agenda is a fundamentally broken government.

I think this is a big sustaining source of disillusion with the US government. Cynical minorities have a pretty easy way to make people hate the opposition by just blocking everything, this was even explicitly acknowledged by McConnel as their strategy. Block everything no matter how small.
The labor laws in place violate the freedom of association and are terrible for social welfare.
There is a reason why unionization is associated with enterprise decline, and why shareholders oppose it.

Amazon is doing immense good for US quality of life and raising US export revenue, and there is no benefit in jeopardizing that to give a select group of workers a monopoly over the jobs it offers.
> Human beings cannot do the equivalent

Some can. Those with assets to depreciate, for example.

Frankly, the whole corporate tax debate seems manufactured to obscure the top personal tax bracket being about $500,000. Raise corporate taxes and you tax everyone with shares. That hits the rich, sure [1], but it also hits every pension fund and middle class saver. And if the corporate tax rate goes up instead of a $1mm, $2mm, $4mm and $8mm tax bracket being created, everyone at the top comes out ahead.

[1] Screw with the tax code for companies, legal fictions, enough and they’ll magically start moving. Then it’s a game of whack-a-mole. People are much less likely to change their way of life in response to tax codes; this is well documented.
I bought it when I had a pretty good PC (Ryzen 9, 2070S, memory for days). I’ve since sold it and opted for much less powerful machine. I’d be scared to try it on less than what I was running it on at the time.
I want to believe this is a good idea, but I can't shake the feeling that these people can't be trusted in any way. Yellen herself, for all her experience in economics and monetary policy, wasn't considered suitable for her current position until she had been thoroughly bought.

It is both. Corporations benefit from the existence of a well-functioning society that gives them invaluable tools to survive and thrive (they wouldn't exist without it). Why should they not contribute anything back?
Those multinationals are following USA tax law! Why sanction the small country when your own country enables the action?
Money makes people go crazy, chapter 2137.
Hosting illegal content is already illegal. How would NFTs solve this?
Yeah there’s 0 chance of that happening.

The EU can’t even agree amongst themselves.
Are there details somewhere? It's hard to tell what "21%" means, given exemptions, deductions, and that the tax is on profits, not income.
> Trashing some offices is nowhere near overthrowing a government.

A comically bad attempt at murder is still attempted murder.
That's true for all taxes, If tax is at 0%, you'll have all the money. Idea is for a person making 20k, tax is going out of food/shelter money, for someone making 100k, it is going out of vacation/investing, for one making millions, it is going out of extra money.
I ran into issues with firmware on a ZoneDirector 1200 and some R610's that were out of support contract. Totally functional and all, but couldn't bring them current.

Though, After using Ruckus in Corp/Enterprise they've sold me on how capable their APs are, it's real deal high density stuff.
Sure but put yourself in their position for a minute.

How does pornhub even receive notice of this video being posted? How many others contact ph through this channel? How many of these cases are bogus and lead nowhere?

Remember that this is the internet. If you open up any communication channel to your massive website you will be flooded with junk.

So just to maintain a communication channel with the outside world is an entire project in itself. Probably requires its own manager and employees working full time with nothing but handling cases.

And despite all this ph did respond on this case, they even tried sending takedown requests to OTHER SITES.

Imo they did truly do their best.

But the problem goes beyond pornhub. It's an internet problem. There is no simple resolution to this problem, unless you want to lock down the entire internet.

And despite all these difficulties the stories posted still mention Pornhub as the problem.

Pornhub is not the problem here.

But I would not be surprised if Pornhub comes up with a solution. if coinbase can verify your identity to open an account with them then surely Pornhub can do the same for uploaders.
Qu'est-ce que Solana? L'écosystème Solana: une Vue d'ensemble
Qu'est-ce que Solana ?
Solana (SOL) est un projet open source qui met en œuvre une blockchain performante et sans permission. Anatoly Yakovenko, un ancien ingénieur de Dropbox, a présenté Solana en 2017, en partenariat avec Greg Fitzgerald et Eric Williams. Cette blockchain de quatrième génération vise à fournir "l'infrastructure ouverte requise pour une adoption mondiale", selon les développeurs à l'origine du projet.

Yakovenko avait l'intention de créer une plateforme blockchain hautement évolutive, et l'écosystème Solana fait donc appel à une infrastructure ouverte pour offrir une évolutivité nettement supérieure à celle de ses protocoles blockchain contemporains.
NYT is clearly left leaning and usually does not provide both sides.
It’s easy to blame the police when they have so many things falling to them. Politicians want them to enforce drugs, force certain habits, generate revenue, and uphold order.

Which is fun because when one group has finally elected themselves into government and nothing improves, they blame the police in not accomplishing the goals. Meanwhile, all the think tanks in the world cannot get through to these politicians: hey, you know how you have fines for everything in this town, well it makes the populace dislike / hate the police because they feel shaken down all the time. How about your ratchet down you golden policies for x, y, or a so you can have nicer feeling police? Oh no, because you do not want to make hard choices or you have too many constituents who are rent seeking with that money?
Hmm, that's informative, thanks. I agree there's an expectation mismatch, but I also find the writing in those articles a bit formulaic. I guess I'm mostly annoyed because I'm expecting a "just the facts" style and getting "human interest" instead, but it's fair that there are people who prefer that style.
Hey someone just called my number. Well except for Django's ORM which is fine for low duty cycle queries.
Given the state of the war on drugs and the war on human trafficking, do you think that there would be less drugs and human trafficking if people were not allowed to watch porn as you suggest?

I suspect that because criminals tend to ignore the law anyway, placing restrictions on pornography will completely fail to reduce any harm as bad people will continue to do those things regardless of whether PornHub exists or not

If pornography were not legal, then production would move underground and would probably involve even more harm.

Some might suggest that there needs to be heavier regulation and more protection for the women involved but banning porn would mean zero protection for the women and an unregulated trade
Define growth? How do you prove: "Hi I'm company X and I'm growing so I shouldn't have to pay taxes" isn't full of BS and slick accounting? Because you know if there are rules corporations are going to lie their way around them. Better have fewer rules and more consistent taxes. But lobbyist love to make things complex so that corporations can cheat.
Maybe Microsoft would buy the division and open source it to make a viable competitive option to google and apple. Long shot...
Millions is a pretty small dataset these days. I'm increasingly of the opinion that the boundary for considering "big data" tools starts at about 100 million rows.
Seriously, the whole article is about Signal being run by a non-profit. I don't think the rest of it was horrible but a mistake like this makes it feel like it was written time of the market reporting bots that write all of the useless articles on stock news.
It will probably just stay the same as now. People will buy based on a perception of brand quality based on reliability, coupled with how the car looks on the inside and outside.
> As well how they would guarantee that no country offers a tax credit or otherwise to lower the numbers

Never mind the international angle, what about the US states and localities offering business tax incentives to attract corporations?
Open what? The screen? 90% of what makes the phone a phone is Qualcomm IP and there’s no planet on which they’re going to allow release of their proprietary bits.
It was itself bailed out to the tune of 44b, so they still owe me a couple of bailouts, given that no one ever bailed me out.

The whole EU is full of chery pickers and the fact that we have tax havens within it is disgusting.
Abstraction if necessary but not necessarily abstraction. That's my rule of thumb.
> You'd expect the NYT's to give both side's at a minimum

30 years ago, I would have had that expectation from NYT and other trustworthy media sources. I haven’t had that expectation for at least a decade now.
That’ll erode america’s financial system fairly quickly.

You can’t sanction Ireland, without sanctioning the EU, also China and India won’t agree to that, so there goes 80% of the people you trade with.
Some countries are trying to attract foreign companies using low tax rate. In return they get many benefits (look how China had developed). What would be the reason for those countries to loose that advantage and go back to being nothing?
It's not all rainbow and sunshine though. We should strive to work on a global level and not step on eachother with "competitive advantages" like these.

These are only "competitive advantages" because some people high up decided they were legal (and probably gained some personal profit out of it). When starbucks, macdonalds or airbnb pay insanely low taxes in most european countries they're using legal ways to do so, but it doesn't benefits the people, it benefits the corporations.

I personally don't care about the exact percentage of tax we should apply, but we should start by making them pay taxes in the countries the money is made and stop allowing companies to bend the rules so much.

This is like dumping, it's a "competitive advantage" until you decide it's illegal or at least regulated, these things aren't written in stone
Have we forgotten the left-pad fiasco already? These kind of things just keep happening in npm-land.

You can already order one of these golf-kart like cars from China for less than $5,000 shipped. An easy to mass produce skateboard platform is bound to emerge, so basically who ever has the cheapest reasonably good batteries and marketing wins.

Well, I only saw an article and didn't even know there was a video. ;) I guess blocking JavaScript will do that.
OVH, Wasabi.
To people saying this will end the race to the bottom. It will never end, when every rate is equal then tax rate would magically stop being important and the important number will be:

1) Odds of tax audits

2) Countries with statutes of limitations

3) Lenght of the legal proceedings so you can get to the aforementioned statutes of limitation

4) Median fines imposed for non-compliance etc.

5) Countries with most bribable tax officials

Human nature can't be solved, tragedy of the commons can't be solved either
Basically, a disproportionate number of the murders is done by blacks. Often the victim is also black, but blacks are much more likely to murder whites than vice versa.
Why would you expect it to be the same (besides some nonsense appeal to 'corporations are people')?
Alcohol and weed are not good examples because these are failed interventions if you consider them harmful. Consumption of both exploded in the last few decades.

This is why I use smoking: it's also legal or semi-legal, it used to be prevalent but its popularity cratered.
You seem to think this will be a hard sell to most countries, where in fact 21% is below Corp Tax for most countries with clout. Most of the EU would be on board, China would be on board, all nuclear powers would be on board...
the ultra rich are paid in stocks, not salary. Raising the tax brackets wouldn't do anything
The most interesting thing about it wasn’t the fact that I could travel the world (in fact I flew out of a small airport 5 miles from me and crashed into my apartment first time I tried it) but the fact that it supposedly simulates real time weather and air traffic conditions. Not sure if that’s technically as impressive but still very cool.
> if both were annotated with some kind of hashes of their contents

That's exactly what I don't want to do, since it's extra complexity and extra work on my part. (:

> Also, have you compared the performance of whatever you're doing with a simple PJAX-like approach? Considering that browsers are very good at parsing HTML, I wonder how fast that would be compared to doing quite a lot of DOM calls, which you seem to be doing (?).

Nope, sorry, I haven't done any benchmarks. From what I've tested the performance is great. If the pages where I use it were heavier then maybe I'd have performance problems, but so far I don't.
Downvoted a tone-deaf comment which puts together an implicit threat of instantly vaporising thousands of unsuspecting people, and refusing to do business in one sentence - as if there wasn't a massive difference. When someone writes "threat of atomic bombs" they should consider if they mean it.
It’s a Wikipedia rehash hastily slapped together, as the stock bit shows.

I am more than a little bit sad that the original spacejam.com is now gone. It was nice to glance at the web as it used to be from time to time.
That's a very silly way to look at it. Corporations extract value from society. Why shouldn't they pay back what they owe?

And the state has democratic control and oversight (ideally at least, much to be improved). Corporations are completely unaccountable.

I’m using Arq Backup with Wasabi for the storage. I think it’s a great combo.
If life is part of a phase transition of matter, then it is absolutely flourishing everywhere within the universe, which is larger than our minds can grasp.

My favorite thought experiment is imagining a future earth civilization that does check everywhere in the universe and then it finds no signs of life now or in the past.
When I'm bored, I sometimes intentionally take comments out of context, just to see where they go, I know this isn't what you ment, but I like to pretend:

>Form your own opinion, I'm just a guy who worked at Ubiquiti for a year, raising all kinds of hell about the security, architectural, and operational problems that I saw while I was there.

You are a lawn man/woman.

Security problems: I have to show my badge EACH TIME I go to the bathroom

Architectural problems: these bricks are the WRONG COLOR!

Operational problems: The painters used the WRONG COLOR OF OFF WHITE!

Again, I know this isn't what you ment, but I enjoyed transposing a well written critique of their software from (presumably) a knowledgeable software guy into a lawn person in a jumpsuit.

Thank you, amd have a good day.
“X needs more regulation”

This is not the internet that I remember from 2004, and that was my only point. The internet feels too “safe” now.
How does something like this generally work? Is it as simple as sanctions and/or tariffs?
But like still be on payroll & ask your OG company to pay this new company instead of you directly, has anyone done that or am I just re-inventing contract work?

At least in the next decade people are going to care about range, charge speed (measured in miles per hour, in part a measure of efficiency) and software quality.

So called super car brands will pivot to market on subjective qualities like “handling” since they can no longer complete on performance.
I'm surprised at the push back this has gotten. As the article says, kindergarten isn't mandatory in California. I grew up in California in the 80s and missed half my year of what would have been kindergarten because of a persistent lung infection. It didn't make any difference. I don't have many memories that far back, but all I remember learning to do when I was there was how to spell my name, which I could already do anyway. I'm sure there are some things a teacher can do that a parent can't do, but nothing you learn in kindergarten is among those things.
It’s a quote from:

https://www.ee.ryerson.ca/~elf/hack/realmen.html
There's 2 quotes from an Amazon spokesperson there:

“We support every employee’s right to criticize their employer’s working conditions, but that does not come with blanket immunity against our internal policies, all of which are lawful,” said Jaci Anderson, an Amazon spokeswoman. “We terminated these employees not for talking publicly about working conditions, safety or sustainability but, rather, for repeatedly violating internal policies.”

Ms. Anderson, the Amazon spokeswoman, said the company disagreed with allegations made in Mr. Bailey’s case. “We are proud to provide inclusive environments, where employees can excel without fear of retaliation, intimidation or harassment,” she said.
I genuinely don't agree with this. Just like FBI providing a 78 IQ unfortunate loser with explosives is not an attempted terrorist attack.
Hollywood depicting an universal culture?

Far from it. At first I was thinking high school bullies were something Stephen King always added to his books. Then I realized high school bullies were something Hollywood always added to plots, even when it had no reason whatsoever to be there.

Sadly, this has become more like culture contamination. In highschool I never saw bullies. Now they are more common, because of that Hollywood influence.

So, how much of that universal culture is a reflection of the world, and how much is just Hollywood pushing their own culture over the world?

The same with racism. As someone from South America, I find the racism in USA extremely pathological and not at all similar to what I experience in real life.

I don't have experience with .NET core but taking example of Spring in Java (which gets targeted a lot for this sort of thing), you can get away with putting the logic at the outer levels without using services. However, more often then not, you end up using similar chunks of related functionality that then gets put into some common class to avoid repeating it everywhere. If you are already doing that, then why not put them in a service - its just a class with a @Service annotation that the dependency injection can take advantage of. Further, the fact that services are logical containers of such related functionality, creating them actually follows the principle of least surprise (viz. audit related stuff goes in AuditService) and testing/mocking etc becomes cleaner.

Of course, if you are writing a simple utility, then none of this is necessary - you'll probably not use Spring for it anyway and just core Java is fine.
