The reentry is uncontrolled by design:

"This, sadly, wouldn't be the first time. In May 2020, a Long March 5B rocket slammed through the atmosphere, partially burning up on its descent, Live Science previously reported. The core fell largely into the Atlantic Ocean, but some debris landed in West Africa. According to the South China Morning Post, some chunks of debris crashed into inhabited villages in Côte d'Ivoire, though thankfully no casualties were reported."
Don't Apple and Amazon etc use licencing to artificially put their subsidiaries in debt?

E.g. Amazon Cayman Islands licences its branding etc to Amazon Luxumbourg which basically has to pay an exorbitant amount for it, enough so it's always in debt and therefore pays no tax. Of course, they're owned by the same company so money stays in the family but taxes are avoided.
I think they must have used hands as references that were in about the right position but not actually holding anything.
Is there some reason why wholly owned subsidiaries should pay income tax at all in other countries? I own assets in the US, but I don't pay income tax there, because I live in another country, where I pay income tax on my worldwide income. Amazon "lives" in the US (headquarters are in Seattle, WA), so why would it pay income tax in other countries? Its wholly owned subsidiaries are just parts of the whole, and should be taxed as such.
I would also like to ask, on the 44 Bn sales, how much VAT or other indirect taxes were collected by the government?
This checklist would (with a few minor adaptations) also work great for many other types of "so you want to start an X company". Very thorough indeed.

No worries man, projects like these are always fun to build and read about.

Maybe it would be nice to explicitly say what is sent out, to where and why. Sentences like that make me trust services more, even if I don't like what's being shared, I just appreciate the honesty.
I build systems from source. Sometimes I do things before installing a full userland. (Sometimes I never do install a full userland, opting for a smaller customised one.) I have learnt to use what is available on BSD install media and in BSD toolchains. sed is popular choice utility for BSD toolchains. tee, not so much.

Yes, but it isn't clear why they didn't make profits. Ikea locations also usually don't make a profit - because they have to pay "license fees" to the mothership registered in a tax haven.
Words escaped me before by "fully detail", as explained on another threads up there :), I meant that the input image must contain (or have extracted from it) phase information in addition to the amplitudes that a spectrograph-like extraction would provide to have full control over the result (alternatively, a complex valued image (usually positive and negative) would do it). It's hard to make phase-info up from nothing I reckon, maybe that's why many image-to-sound things sound harsh/strange?

Don't use it much but I love excalidraw. really has that oldschool freeware vibes. Must say it makes me a bit sad that it is being monetized. Understandable, but still sad.

Hope it doesn't lose it's spirit now money is involved.
Honestly, excalidraw's advantages is it's simplicity with export and working locally, which makes me think a lot of the enterprisy stuff could be built with external tools or something like that. say an integration with Google Drive/Dropbox.

I used to think along the same lines until someone mentioned that we don't need nuclear energy to make large swaths of land uninhabitable. In fact, coal is the answer if you want to create large areas free of humans for a long time.

Unlike nuclear, you don't even have to wait for a disaster to happen. It just does it normally.
They do, when they run out of runway. But a well-calculated reinvestment strategy, like Amazon's, can have a very low burn rate and so a very long runway.
They also pay billions (almost $5 billion in FY 2020) in "royalties" back to the US parent company.

So while Amazon Europe may report a loss in Europe, it certainly makes a lot of profit for Amazon Inc. (It's also helpful that foreign royalty income qualifies for a discount under US tax rules!)
I love this. More power to you Aria.
Why is reinvesting profits a bad thing. Reinvesting 1Billion into the company is more beneficial to society than paying tax on that 1 billion. Creating thousands of new jobs is much better than however the government would spend the 200M they collect in taxes.

LOL I interviewed for Delvinia, and their offer was tremendously under market. Good riddance.
Im proposing a conspiracy theory here, but the basically all of the world's most profitable companies are involved in fossil fuel production. They definitely have an incentive to not want this technology to thrive and their leaders have a lot of influence and money.

The retort to this theory would be that a company with a lot of resources could simply invest in the new technology.

But with the level of lazy corruption in the world it seems possible that these entities might be suppressing the technology somehow.
A lot of the success of Walmart and Amazon is just them not tolerating mediocrity.
von Neumann's approach was to define a "universal constructor", with a programmable "arm" for altering cells. He came up with a complicated set of cellular automaton rules which allow such a universal constructor. Then he came up with a "program" for the constructor which, when executed, would create a copy of the universal constructor and of the program.

This was all meant to be in analogy to the physical world, where such a constructor could be used to build almost anything, perhaps operating at the atomic-scale.

It turns out that we can get much simpler self-replicators if we (a) ignore the "universal constructor" ability, and only focus on self-replication; and (b) choose cellular automaton rules which make self-replication easier, rather than using cells to encode "programs". This approach gives things like Langton's Loops https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Langton%27s_loops

The self-replicating property described in the article seems like an extreme form of this approach: the rules are so tailored for replication that they can't do anything else.

Of course, making such simplifications sort of defeats von Neumann's original purpose, since such highly-tailored rules are less "realistic", and hence don't particularly help us build physical self-replicators; and even if we could, they wouldn't be particularly useful without the "universal constructor" ability.
Tax evasion is illegal. If you get caught you'll usually be fined and have to pay the tax.

Tax avoidance is what Amazon does, and so should everyone else.

Having said that, I tend to agree with the thrust of your comment, that being: we should close, probably, close these avoidance avenues the for the ultra-wealthy. It's probably an intractable problem though, because the ultra-wealthy make the rules.
I tried this for some time, I was looking for unlisted videos.

Just generate a random valid link and then check if it gives a video or not.

I found exactly 0 videos.
> Therefore it's possible that their tax reporting is entirely legitimate

It's pretty much certain that Amazon's tax reporting is completely legal and above board. They cannot afford to not to. They are not your local tradesperson who is paid in cash and cooks the books. They are a massive, publicly traded company with all eyes on them at all times.
they are simply tax evading

Are you saying they broke the law? Because there is a distinction between evading and avoiding tax.
rr is insanely useful. There are some debugging patterns that commonly come up for me when I use it.

1. Investigate a crash: run program until it crashes/shows error dialog/other undesired state. If there was an exception involved then set up a catchpoint (`catch throw`) then reverse-continue. You are now in the vicinity of the crash, you can now debug it going backwards in time.

2. Some variable has garbage state, you want to know what caused it. Set up a hardware watchpoint to the variable, then reverse-continue. You can then see the line that wrote to the variable the last time. Sometimes it is a line that is writing to an entirely different variable, then you know you have variable lifetime issues.

3. The executable you debug is timing sensitive (network timeouts for example). Just record a run with rr then debug it later, don't worry about breakpoints in the middle of timing sensitive code.

And I'm pretty sure that there are a ton of other use cases.

I wanted to write a message to a Swedish relative to say "Happy Birthday" but the literal translation felt wrong.

I asked my wife how to say "Happy Birthday" and she said "What you've got there is the right translation but that's not what people say".

I think that's one of the hardest things about learning another language is to not directly map words but understand what would be said in a certain context.

There is no English word for Hygge or Fika because the concept simply does not exist. You can find a nearest match but it lacks the meaning.

There are some key differences.

Notifications in IPster are like topics. Recipients decide if they wanna engage in group discussion or start a private 1:1 chat 'on that topic'.

These chat threads are attached to the notification, so even if you are chatting 1:1 your chats are organised and connected to the job notification.

Once you will start using you will find more to it. Like you can recall a notification, when you do so; you can still keep the discussion history but the discussion is closed.

Also, for a network like IPster you dont necessarily want or have people in your phone address book, you dont need a phone number, either yours or someone you wanna connect to.

Fantastic, this is absolutely stunning. A few things stand out:

* What an incredible transformation that London has seen; the city then was surrounded on all sides by fields. But still through this transformation - and also through the Great Fire, the civil war, the World Wars - it's still recognisably London.

* Notice several casualties that the city's been dealt, including 1. the old - and imho far more beautiful - London Bridge (https://www.golakehavasu.com/london-bridge), 2. the old city wall with all the gatehouses still intact, 3. Baynards Castle which was destroyed during the Great Fire.

* The two arenas at the bottom of the image were for bull and bear baiting - for betting and entertainment. We've come a long way as a society.

* Charing Cross monument was still there, which surprised me. A quick search shows there's been a cross there since the 13th century (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_cross).

They also need massive amounts of water when planted at scale and die after anything between 1-100 years (some hardwood trees live longer but capture carbon relatively slowly compared to faster growing plants), after which they release the carbon back into the ecosystem. Energy efficiency of photosynthesis is also really low.

Just planting a lot of plants and expecting they will efficiently capture a lot of carbon out of the air is going to lead to disappointment.
It doesn't matter.

1. The net world population is going up. Any non-zero growth rate will eventually saturate the planet.

2. We are already beyond capacity. Even if we kept the current population level for 100 years, we would still run out of resources.

3. The countries that slow down their growth tend to get more economically developed, causing each person to boost their resource consumption.

In 4-2-1 families (Chinese one child policy), the one remaining person consumes far more resources than the 6 ancestors combined.

During the height of the pandemic we'd get documentaries on small businesses struggling, it'd often be the same speech from the owners "I hate the internet, I don't want to use it but it's been 6 months and I'm on the verge of bankruptcy and my child has been begging me for years to get an online presence so maybe I'll do the bare minimum."
Many people made loss last year and still have to pay. Argument is essentially "I should not pay any taxes, because I spend all my income on house renovation".
Here is a untested idea, probably unworkable.

Solar has a problem that consumers tend to need more energy during the night. So the solution is to pipe electricity from somewhere east so everyone's electricity is piped in from say a location east where its still light.

I got the idea when I heard Singapore wants to run a cable to Australia to get solar because they are too small for renewables.

If if could work for those planners it might work elsewhere. People are talking about pumped hydro as batteries, that's good for storage but this is more of a on demand system.

Cool idea, probably unrealistic.

Norway have been doing CC since 1996 from natural gas and pumping the CO2 back into the well. The first commercial reservoir (Northern light project) for pumping CO2 back into old oil wells will open in 2024. The drilling is finished and the capacity is estimated to 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 per year for this first project. There is not any capacity left now for new contracts, but they are planning for additional wells.

>If you have unlimited leverage to buy Bitcoin, you have unlimited leverage to buy any other asset.

The hardest, most inflation protected and liquid asset wins. Bitcoin.

>How much are they realistically going to allocate to Bitcoin, to support a >1 trillion market cap?

Bitcoins adoption example = make BTC just 1% of your portfolio, wait, that 1% is now worth more than the other 50% of your portfolio...you can guess what happens next if trend continuation is expected. Two words, "Ape In".

>Bitcoin is like gold in that it just "sits there", it doesn't do any work.

Lossless store of value is "work"...if your billion dollar nest egg in fiat is losing 10-20% per year due to currency debasement, assets that result in not losing that $200M aren't doing valuable work?

Bitcoin has a Number Go Up monetary policy and other properties that are unrivaled. Losing interest really isn't in the cards since this network is scheduled to start demolishing larger and larger central banks around the world and hoovering up value...

One can do both. If theft and murder was to be made legal I wouldn't start doing it, would you? I hate this narrative where corporations are just assumed to be morally obliged to do everything to increase their profits. Corporations should be regulated and be inclined to do the right thing even if no one's watching, just like ordinary citizens.

Then why not start a company if the grass is sooo much greener on other side.

It's true you can claim a lot as expense and register zero profits but only when you really don't have money.

People forget, Amazon gets its money from stock market - this money is someone's pension funds and savings, they are investing because people believe Amazon will one day then profit, they don't care about these losses.

So what's the alternative? Prevent people from investing into profitable things?

The reason why these "taxes" are efficient is really because they are payments for privileges the monopolists get from the government on behalf of the community.

They are perfect pay-per-use scheme, the more privilege you consume, the more you pay. One can argue whether these are really taxes or just privilege fees. That's why groups such as single-tax or zero-tax propose that society can be run efficiently without taxes, because really the only "taxes" you need are those monopoly based ones.
