I can assure you that on the personal income tax front and much more so at the indirect tax of cost of living the Irish govt is doing just fine thank you.
The revenue is only the same because we dont actually collect corporation tax because we let people avoid it.

To act like there's no additional benefit on taxing literally billions in revenue is absolutely nonsensical.

Well this creates the incentive that corporations try to minimise their employees, or try to shift employment to low tax/low cost countries. Now that very well be desirable for corporations and people who derive income primarily from capital, but it is not desirable for society. The whole idea behind corporate tax is that they should be taxes on the profits they make, where they make them.

I love my job, and I love working from home. I have been doing it for years.

Working on a fully remote team is not the same as working on fully co-located team. Some will say it's worse but for me its better. One thing is for certain - it is different. Some things are easier and some things are harder. It's just a different point in the design space of possible ways to work.

Some older people will probably have Fujifilm burned into their cortex because they made a lot of very popular film types for cameras back in the day, and if you were just somewhat serious about taking photos, film type was a big deal. At least I guess that's why it feels like that to me, too, even though it's definitely no longer true.
And how long does that "back to school" feeling last? 2 weeks?

There are definitely some people who have been cooped up for over a year, and not only have they been denied the companionship of their coworkers but social gatherings with family and friends have likewise been restricted. These people are legitimately excited to catch up with people they've been missing. But as soon as that itch is scratched, and normal outlets for socialization return to normal, no one is going to say "3 days a week with jerry from accounting is just not enough, I need to spend more time at work."

In reality, young people want to work in cities because they want to work close to wear they live. The attraction of the city is its rich social life. Just look at where trust fund babies who don't need to work choose to live.

Former U.S. president back on Facebook?
Maybe the issue to consider isn't human behavior but rather leadership structure of the group of boys. With the boys in real life on the island who lead and how? There were moments of disagreement and they also had a system of administering justice and resolution. Did they follow the one boy who knew most about survival? That is a very different system of government than a voting democracy. The key is that when one broke his leg the rest provided for him. This goes all the way back to Plato observing city states in Ancient Greece attempts at creating institutions for mutual survival and defense.

Thirty years ago I saw recording of a heated interview with William Golding about the character in the book the boys should have chosen to lead. I can't remember if it was Ralph vs Piggy however I think Golding argued that it was Simon, the Christ like mystic, who would have provided salvation for all the boys if he was followed. Simon represented altruism in the book picking hard to reach berries for the smaller boys who couldn't reach. So in real life when a group of boys who are stranded on island who have religious values, altruism like in the case of caring for the one boy with a broken leg it is like they would have chosen Simon as Golding suggested in his interview to lead.

It might not be a rebuttal to the Lord of the Flies. It is a confirmation of what Golding said about the boys and their values.

What's wrong with bags of cash? A company paying a 5 million ransom can spend 100k on the logistics (private jet etc) of getting that money delivered. This isn't a real obstacle.

Ransoms aren't paid by the companies themselves anyway, it's always professional ransomware negotiators who handle the exchanging for them.

Wire transfers would work fine too, the ransomware operators simply won't provide the keys until they've secured the money from their drop account.
I don’t understand how this follows? This just means you are hiring eminently qualified candidates that are then later fired, regardless of how well they are actually doing.
"What can we do?"

Well you can look at it in the round and realise that your income is similarly higher than it otherwise would be because government spent money into the economy that it is now extracting as tax.

Moving the tax around doesn't avoid you paying it. It just gets rolled into the price of what you buy instead. That's because in aggregate corporate costs including taxation are a component of final consumption expenditure.

While there are fewer jobs than people that want them the incidence of charges on corporations will always end up being paid by workers one way or another. That's the whole point of the 'unemployment buffer' put in place during the neoliberal era - to make sure that price changes can't be easily passed through to wage rises and thereby resolve the distributional conflict in favour of capital.

No that's the thing. According to our laws it _should_ be allowed. It should not be _tolerated_. That's the difference. That's what a healthy, mature society does.

If you make it not allowed, then you're giving enormous power and control of your society to whoever the arbiters of truth are. Right now that's social media/tech companies who are completely unelected and serve their own interests.
I'm reading The Monsters and the Critics and other essays. Tolkein's scholarship is just collosal. The result is a distillation of the experience of a man in love with language, the peoples who spoke them, and a true appreciation of time, culture, and the loss of both.

We have virtually no knowledge of these people, and the millions of other peoples who met the same fate. There is simply nothing left of them. And as their descendents became us, so too shall we pass on into the unknown.

Taxing mega corporations is essential. I would add that you need to tax them to oblivion after shareholder’s expectations are reasonably satisfied. If you don’t, you essentially create rogue institutions with deep pockets that will attempt to take political control of the nation for their selfish interests. Adam Smith had interesting things to say about that.
I am sure the topic is complex, but from the article:

> The company, Microsoft Round Island One, posted profits last year equal to nearly three-quarters of Ireland’s entire gross domestic product (GDP) – despite having zero employees.

That, to me, sounds like maybe the plan to collect personal income tax on salaries might not be so straight forward.

‘Atypical’ Season 4 release date has been confirmed by Netflix for July 2021
The Season 4 of Atypical is finally having a release date on Netflix. On Tuesday, Netflix announced that the fourth and the final season of Atypical will premiere on the streaming platform in July 2021. Apart from this, we got to know that one year back Atypical was renewed for a fourth season after a successful outing in Season 3. Since then, only fans are eagerly waiting for the release date of this 4th Season. To know about the release date or Atypical, read here.

It's so disgusting to see a racist career politician exploit BLM movement for votes and dismiss genocide in Xinjiang as another country's cultural "norms". That shit should not be allowed.

Trump only screwed over the lying, pedophilic establishment (and probably also the self-opinionof the educated-but-useless type).

At least Trump never approved of genocide like the closet racists/(pedophiles?) downvoting this.
I think, the main point is: We have reached a time in which there are no guarantees anymore that your HW works (until recently we only had no guarantee that the SW works).

Correctly.
Why would someone that wants to exploit other people leave a place that lets them exploit others?

I’ll cut to the chase. My point is your concept of society does not work at scale. You will have people that want to use the system, you will need to use force and adjudicate in the system, and you will need something more than good vibes to serve as incentives.
>I don't think that's how that works. You just have no evidence or reason to believe their statement is true. That's different from assuming their statement is false. "

I have no evidence to believe the statement "meowface is a Chinese hacker" is true, but I shouldn't assume it is false? Accusations need evidence. This isn't science, it's criminal justice.

As for the rest, all of the evidence they provided was pretty unsubstantiated in my opinion, but I had combined "an uber receipt they can't verify saying an alleged hacker went to an MSS building" and "a supposed recruiting message gave the same address as CNITSEC." I had not read the details in several years, that was my mistake. That was the grand total of the evidence provided though, and the indictment does not provide anymore.
I'd love to see more details on the defective parts, particularly counts of CPU model (anonymized if needs be) and counts of which part of the architecture exhibited faults.

From working in HPC I've handled reports of things like FMA units producing incorrect results or random appearance of NaNs. Were it not for the fact that we knew these things could happen and customer's intimate knowledge of their codes I dread to think how'd "normal" operations would track these issues down. Bad parts went back to the CPU manufacturer and further testing typically confirmed the fault. But that end of the process was pretty much a black box to anyone but the CPU manufacturer. I'd be keen to know more about this too.

"Wouldn't that create a perverse incentive to hire less and overload the remaining employees? "

That rather depends whether there are more jobs than people that want them.

If there isn't then you need a public job Guarantee option to swing the balance of power.

We want the private sector to hire less and automate more. That's how we push forward productivity. What we want to remove from them is the "what about the jobs" argument. Then it all works.

I'm curious what you're eluding to here? Using dividends as a significant method to self-compensate (for single-person companies) seems to be a pretty common practice recommended by every UK accountant I've spoken to / used.

The code was wrong, but the produced binaries were not.

From the user perspective, a change to malloc really did break JPGLoader. That it broke this by revealing a pre-existing fault in the code is interesting to note. Especially for the developers. But it does not change the user experience.
I do not know what definition of capitalism you are using, but I was strictly addressing the ability of society to function without compensation.

I am not aware of any functional society exists today without the use of compensation on a notable scale, certainly not notable enough to be able to defend itself.
> Get rid of it, and most drivers will lose the major reason for owning a car.

I think this is backwards.

We saw during the pandemic a mass exodus from cities. Once people could work from home, they decided they didn't want to live in a city anymore.

Once you remove the burden of commuting, suburban / rural life becomes _even more_ attractive, increasing the need for cars.
> Don't get your hopes up about Python 4.0

Who thinks like this? Computer numerologists? Surely what matters is feature support and quality, not big version numbers. I for one am glad that python is stabilizing and old(ish) code tends to work well.
Reread that comment. He’s saying you would have the option of doing that 40m bike ride, which you don’t have today. For the majority of people that commute will not be a nice ride through the woods, and they can’t opt out.
If the risk of harm to kids from the virus is say 1%, and 0.1% for the vaccine, then it would still be better to go unvaccinated since the risk of catching the virus is most likely less than 10% once adults are vaccinated.
Microsoft's Irish subsidiary paid zero tax because it owed zero tax—and there's no reason it should have paid, or that this should change in future, apart from the greed and envy of others who want to take money from others to which they are not entitled. Those who are unhappy at the taxes they are paying should perhaps take it up with the tax attorneys and/or legislators who have failed them.
I am so glad you brought up tolerance [1]:

> The paradox of tolerance states that if a society is tolerant without limit, its ability to be tolerant is eventually seized or destroyed by the intolerant. Karl Popper described it as the seemingly paradoxical idea that in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance.

I would say it is even worse than doing nothing when one considers the environmental impact of mining BTC. These people have an expectation of reward for increasing energy usage and pollution in the world for basically no benefit to anyone but themselves.

Here are the qualities that I think are special about this model: (1) the platform is organic; (2) critical mass kicks in pretty quickly.

Organic: it would be unrealistic to attempt to solve the wine problem as a one-off registry. But once the infrastructure exists, it becomes trivial to solve the wine problem.

You point out that many of the individual scenarios could be solved by a conventional registry. This is good criticism, thanks.

Maybe the role of the chain is not to be a log of everything, but rather to be a system of governance.

Participating registries need to be onboarded to the chain, and need to abide by the rules to stay onboarded.

Governance consists of humans (proof-of-stake parties) who serve as regulators and magistrates for participating registries. They ensure that the APIs are in good order, and have the ability to excommunicate systems that are not playing by the system. In this model, the chain serves the same role as a nation state, but it does not have land.

The artwork problem is still useful, though, because it is a problem that allows you to bootstrap the platform. Analogy: Amazon was initially about books, but Amazon was never really about books.
Sure slimmer fixes part of the problem, because it reduces the attack surface, but that's not really the issue.

Somehow everyone just assume that because something is in a container, then it won't need patching. What really happened is that we moved the patch management responsibility from operations to development. The developers just didn't notice.

One issue could be that it breaks many people mental model of containers. Container images are frequently used as a "Works on my machine" and is just bundled up and shipped.

It's even broken on Docker Hub. What's the point of an python:3.9 image, when it's never actually updated? Developers base their own Dockerfiles on these base images, but often forget that they need to add an OS update step. I don't understand why images, like the python ones, aren't continuously updated centrally.

This seems like it's pretty directly tied to Big Tech's control of what's allowed to be said on their platforms - as I understand it Trump set this up after he was banned from Big Tech as a way to try to get the message out, similar to the standard HN refrain that it's not a big deal because people can just set up their own websites. This seems to show just how ineffective that is in reality even for the aggressively populist previous president of the US and how important Big Tech's control over the political narrative actually is.
Yeah, or even add a conditional to not even mention touch on a non-touch capable device.
