Surprised other countries aren't calling this out as an attack on their sovereignty. Co-operation frameworks seem to become governance bodies pretty fast. The problem isn't that these companies aren't taxed enough, the problem is their influence operations on various national governments, and this tax issue is a distraction.

What I think we're seeing more broadly is the dissolution of the nation state into a single global administrative regime, and the inevitable consequence from a risk perspective is when you homogenize and correlate everyone under the same rules and criteria, it also fails as a single correlated entity, and this is why people and smaller countries should resist it in principle.
Sure, and that's probably best. In my original comment, I specifically mentioned that what the FBI is asking for is reasonable providing there is a warrant, which would imply that they're gathering evidence lawfully.
You probably just want to use the Remote SSH extension in VS Code. That should work a lot better than X11 forwarding, and it should be a lot easier than rewriting the whole GUI to use the terminal.

Yeah, the phrase can mean different things to different people.

It's definitely a 'comfy runway' for a lot of folks in a lot of places, even if it's not a "never have to work again" number.
Strange you're getting so downvoted. While I am a dog owner (and therefore may have a bias) I don't think you've said anything wrong or even controversial. I've seen a lot of US-based people who cannot fathom the idea of a well-behaved dog being completely fine off-leash, so maybe this is why?

I must say that in this sort of situation - an area near a nesting site - I absolutely agree a dog shouldn't be free to run around. But I imagine there are signs specifically warning people against doing that. There are areas here where I have to do the same, for example near areas where people hunt deer (a lot nearby) or where there are bears (only seen warnings in Slovakia). But outside of those areas, with an conscientious owner and an attentive, trained dog who listens to their owner - there's no reason not to unless it's someone who hasn't bothered training their dog.
Web development has gone a long ways backwards over the years. The tech is so complicated that developers focus on their own productivity over basic user experience. It feels like it's been a long long long time since I've even seen a web article focus on good UI, instead it's all about how to handle all the layers of complexity or new tooling.
There's still a lot to do, mainly around distribution and publishing areas:

- webextensions specific storage apis to return promises but chrome still needs callbacks

- A few UI differences between chrome's extension popup and firefox's one means you'll need to potentially leave out features for one browser.

- csp policies differs between chrome and firefox(and cors too I think)

- UX differences between browsers means you'll need to write extra code, and maybe a few extra tutorials.

- Difference between how permissions are interpreted on different browsers

- Huge huge difference between publishing on chrome vs on firefox

- Safari requires xcode, and therefore macos to publish

You’re in the minority - too many dog owners think their dogs are fine and when their dog runs dozens of yards away from their master to bound up to us th egg cheerfully call out, “It’s a friendly dog!” Then they go on their merry way and I have to attend to my 2 crying toddlers. Maybe they only kicked my kids’ faces but sometimes they knock them down. I grew up with dogs in the 20th century - mine could obey and do tricks but I still didn’t make assumptions and grabbed them if we were in a situation like that. I don’t live out in the middle of nowhere - we’re in one of the largest cities in the USA and it’s illegal but dog owners think it’s a suggestion the way speeders on the road often do!
Here’s a different lens: tax is a mechanism for determining who pays for shared infrastructure and social services.

Any entity that has to pay obviously has other ways they can more productively (as seen from the entity level) deploy the cash.

But ideally we are not optimizing for a single entity or class of entity, we’re trying to optimize at the societal level.

We know that corporations can bear some burden, because we are taxing profits. I couldn’t tell you whether this is an optimal place to tax, but it intuitively feels reasonable - corporations are large non-governmental concentrations of wealth and power. This seems like a valid pool to tap for funding the state, and better than many alternatives (e.g. taxing the poor and powerless).

I found this a few days ago when I was researching SVG in Flutter. After the initial "why not SVG?" reaction, this is not that bad! As the README says, It is a format for efficient presentation, not an authoring format. You're supposed to author in SVG etc and then export to IVG.

However, SVG Native [1] seems to be very similar, and it's also a subset of SVG, and non-binary.

As I understand it, many countries set the rate of tax on dividends, and on gains from selling shares, to be below the rate of income tax by roughly the rate of corporation tax.

In particular, things tend to be set up so that for small companies it doesn't make much difference whether the owner takes money out by paying themselves a salary or a dividend.

if the yardstick is Marx and his manifesto + Das Kapital series, then practically nobody was a Marxist - not even Marx himself later in life and certainly not Lenin, Stalin or Mao

since Gramsci the mainstream of Marxism replaces material determinism with a hybrid of cultural hegemony and social gatekeeping, with things like religion, race, feminism being much more central than they were for Marx - and this has been the mainstream of Marxism for 100+ years, so hardly a new development in this particular respect
> that consolidation isn't happening.

Learn to read. I never argued that. I clearly attributed consolidation outcomes in the economy to collusion between Washington and Wall Street.

This is proven. Anti-competitive regulation i.e. regulatory capture is more prevalent than ever.

The most recent example of blatant anti-competitive collusion was the recent case of multiple Big Tech companies colluding against Parler. And the well-paid Wall street puppets in Washington did absolutely nothing about it and often publicly spoke up in favor of it. Pure & corrupt crony consolidation.

Your argument, like Marx, works in favor of crony capitalism because it creates a false dichotomy between "inevitable consolidation" for a top few elite OR complete radical revolution destroying everything and starting over. The purpose of a false dichotomy being of course to obscure the actual truth which is that consolidation of the economy does not occur from a free market but only occurs from corruption, bureaucracy, and anti-competitive tactics.

It's pure idiocy. Full stop.

Go read some Von Neumann and Nash and educate yourself about actually likelihoods of outcomes.

And your employees are paid from that taxed income and that is taxed. When the employee buys something with that money that is taxed as is their dwelling via property tax. And the cycle continues.

I do wonder how long it takes for a dollar to be 100% taxed as it is exchanged. Transactional taxes certainly give government incentive to stoke consumption as the faster the dollar is exchanging hands the more tax revenue they are collecting.
Yes - this is definitely an issue, especially with text data. One thing I’m curious about: Google Street View apparently adds noise and then blurs. Is this a viable option?
This does not address the issue this new tax agreement is supposed to tackle: that big companies produce income in country X but shift profit to country Y where it is taxed less, effectively extracting wealth from the first.

If you only taxed dividends the problem would not go away.

It's a great point you make above, and reflects a lot of a wave of change in our country over the past 40 years. The analysis of meat packing goes one level deeper and according to the US govt has an additional cause:

> Industry consolidation has been accompanied by important changes in labor relations in meatpacking. In 1980,
46 percent of workers in the meat products industry
were union members, a figure that had remained stable
through the 1970’s. Most unionized slaughter plant
workers belonged to the United Food and Commercial
Workers (UFCW) union, whose base wage rate was
$10.69 an hour in 1982. In that year, many unionized
firms began to press for large reductions in base wages, to $8.25 an hour, consistent with what was being
offered in non-union plants. The union at first acceded
to wage cuts, but by 1984 adopted a strategy to vigorously contest them, in the view that large wage cuts at
older unionized plants only postponed plant closings.
Between 1983 and 1986, there were 158 work stoppages in cattle and hog slaughter plants, involving
40,000 workers. There were lengthy strikes, plant closings, and deunionizations at some ongoing and
reopened plants.14 By 1987, union membership had
fallen to 21 percent of the workforce, and has remained
at that lower level through the most recent data (1997);
wage reductions were imposed in most plants, and
wages have risen only modestly since then.

> Declining unionization coincided with changes in
slaughter plant demographics. Immigrants, primarily
from Southeast Asia, Mexico, and Central America,
make up large and growing shares of the workforces at
both hog and cattle slaughter plants.

There was a structural shift in power between workers and corporations. Unions representing the worker who had pushed for those higher wages were fairly systematically pushed out of power. The loss of power of unions is what led to the low wages. The use of immigrant labor is just the particular method companies went about implementing it, but if there hadn't been people immigrating it still would've been forced low wages by the corporations. This is evidenced by the fact that the low-wages began in the non-union corporations.

A lot of people look at this same situation and mistake the cause for the effect. The cause of the situation was a huge shift in power away from workers to corporations via the loss of union power. The particular manifestation of how corporations used that power was by changing who they were hiring, but to be clear even without immigrants, wages would've still fallen as they already were doing. Ie if unions had negotiated and maintained a minimum wage of $10 or $12 it's irrelevant where the people they're hiring come from.

> They follow my command

That's great, as it should be. However, the majority of dog owners I encounter are at the mercy of their dogs, they treat the dogs not as dogs but as humans and try to bargain with them. This is merely annoying when the dogs is a golden lab, but can be mortal when it is a "sweet" "rescue" pit.

You are right though, it doesn't matter if the dog is on a leash because people also get these 30ft (10m) leashes and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, someone's dog is trying to "just show affection" to a toddler.

So, the golden rule is not to get a dog if you can't be pack leader. A very bad proxy for a person being able to control a dog is the dog being on a "short leash"[1]. So, people go for that rule.

Then you get the 100 lb jogger (45 kg) who attaches a Doberman with a breakaway clip to their shorts.

>The economist is trying to redefine "bullshit jobs" to mean simply "jobs which hold no value to anybody"

That is not the case. They don't talk about who the jobs do or don't have value to at all anywhere in the article, they only address the evidence Graeber used as the basis of his book - how employees think and feel about their own employment.

I don't know about the research they are citing, perhaps that does what you say.
I have automated snapshots of the Windows VM which are backed up to a remote ZVS Pool. This protects me from BSOD corruptions. BSOD corruption can be avoided with bare metal windows but it takes a bit more work.

Performance is fine. I don't use this for gaming or GPU heavy windows tasks and am running on a dual CPU Xeon tower. Have also run This setup on my i7 ZBooks and Elitebooks in the past with no issues with the right config.

Challenge is always disk space and memory when virtualizing. Must reserve RAM for VMware workstation or else you will have intermittent swapping issues.

The US government still uses "Indian" in a lot of places, like the "Bureau of Indian Affairs"; "Federally recognized Indian tribe" is a specific legal term still, hence its use in the court decision.
It's one of the reasons why dividend tax is much lower that income tax.
> Maybe their tax revenues will rise?

I think it will depend on whether these services will even _be_ supplied there. More likely than not, companies will just pass over the opportunity to provide services to smaller and poorer countries due to higher fixed costs of doing business there offsetting the benefit of low per-unit costs inherent to digital services.

As an Australian who moved to Sweden, I was amazed at how efficient the Swedish income tax process was. The government already knew everything they needed to calculate your return, and gave it pre-filled. There were not endless exemptions. Nobody at my work used an accountant, most approved their tax with a few clicks and were done. So much more efficient than in Australia!

Coincidentally that is what I've done lately, given some music from independent artist sounded better, even more, the freemusicarchive.org and elsewhere in the Internet (like bandcamp) hosted a lot of great free songs licensed in Creative Commons which made me realize that mediocre pop songs are a scam, it sounds so sucks, but on top of that, you have to pay for it.

Not only that, but there is a tendency to group too many phenomena under the heading of "woke", both by people describing themselves with that label, and describing others.

For instance, I've seen people deride someone for "being too woke" when the issue at hand was sexual harassment. This is clearly absurd, since we have laws about sexual harassment, and it can't be simply "woke" people who respect laws.

On the flip side, things like "let's not name our principal branch 'master'" are, to me at least, clear examples of excessive wokeness.

This word, "woke", has become a smokescreen. People who use the same word may not be remotely talking about the same things. They only seem to be agreeing, but neither one actually knows what the other is saying.

"Woke" is a pointer, whose pointed at memory location has wildly varying values for different people.

The thing about America is that you honestly cannot tell the social status of a person based on appearance alone. The middle class is large and we value frugality and humility.

I think of this as a collective tendency: rich or poor, when you go to Wal-Mart you just wear whatever you're wearing.

I don't know if you have ever heard of Chris Arnade but he is an ex Wall Streeter who wrote about the "McDonald's Test," which probably lines up with Wal-Mart too.

"Eventually I came up with what I call the McDonald’s test. The broad thesis of my book is that our society sorts people into what I call the front row and the back row – the privileged class to which I used to belong, who are financially secure and live in safe neighborhoods with good schools and public services – and everybody else. The test is to ask a person: how do you view McDonald’s? In my experience, the answer usually reveals whether someone belongs to the front or back row."
