It's one thing to get G7 to agree on something when they're literally in the same club, another to get their client states that might previously have been attractive options like Ireland or Estonia to get on board to some degree. But jurisdictions that are much more independent and less prone to leverage like Georgia or Malaysia on the other hand I just don't see it. And that's before you get off into the weeds of jurisdictions that are more accurately described as oppositional and are raising their own efforts to attract offshore investment which it seems would be even less likely to kiss the ring.

It's easy to forget that the legacy brand countries with the extremely high tax rates and absurd conditions like citizenship based taxation in the most abhorrent cases internationally are the exception, not the rule. Their residents with their political biases make up the majority of participants in forums like this, and this contributes to the perception that their regime is enormously more widely adopted than it actually is, but if you look at the actual numbers by the actual areas that's just not the case.

And worst case scenario then you have crypto, where it goes from the legally difficult realm into the technically impossible realm.

This is just a fight they're guaranteed to lose on a long enough timeline.
Nevertheless, these factors are separable, and it is necessary to distinguish between them if we are to understand, in detail, how they work together. Here, by equivocating and muddying the waters over the term 'evolution', broadening it to encompass learned methods of coping and thriving, the authors are impeding a clear understanding of how the factors work together.

R plus the tidyverse is what makes it a great language. Some tidyverse concepts are being baked into base R, like the pipe, but base R by itself feels hollow.

R’s future is inseparable from the tidyverse. We need to just lump them together in any serious discussion of R.

I teach a graduate level R course mainly for economics and statistics majors. (My educational background and career are computer science and technical; while that may stereotype me into Python, I just love R.) I spend the first three weeks on base R, to convey language-essential concepts, like vectorized objects, then the rest of the course is tidyverse-centric.

A question for the ages.

It is honestly so frustrating seeing people talk about situations they obviously know nothing about. Imagine claiming to be arguing in support of freedom and democracy via applauding a man that literally deposed a civilian government and installed himself as a military dictator while he was in the army!

People are so preoccupied with the speck of "censorship" in a private company's eye that they completely neglect the log of actual, murderously violent authoritarianism in the eye of the side they're supporting.

Honestly, I'd argue that the issue I had in my experience in R wasn't that I myself wasn't giving it the respect it deserved, but rather that the course constructors for my degree didn't give it that respect.

We were essentially told "Install R Studio, then just copy and paste these library imports and you're good to go". Your description of a vectorized language makes total sense, and that single paragraph is more of an intro to R than we ever got in class.

That said, I think the reason this happened with this class in particular is the viewpoint of (what I perceive) as the majority user's of R. Mathematics focused researchers who never learned the language, they just have done enough to get by and don't really appreciate the underpinnings, or the nuances of running an environment on a machine that isn't theres.

I can't entirely absolve myself of blame though, once I realized what was happening I should have gone and done some more foundational R learning, but at that point I just wanted to be done with the class.
the library and the demos are not loading for me.

Buybacks to a large degree end up not being taxed or only much later. Most people are holding on to stock for long periods now. Behavior can also often be easily be adjusted to capital gains tax. Extreme example is Larry Ellison buying in island with a loan backed by his stock rather than selling the stock and buying the island from that directly.

Ending corporate tax would be an interesting proposition and it would be interesting to study the possible effects of that

However I think the main downside on the abolition of corporate tax is that companies are hiring even fewer people with time (automation, subcontracting, etc) so the taxation "opportunities" are reduced if you only have "payroll"/income taxes and sales taxes.

The current situation leads to things like Starbucks having an exaggerated advantage over local cafes for example, since they 1) pay much lower effective tax 2) can have more advantageous rental agreements which leads to some ridiculous situations where one Starbucks is visible from another.

(Though yes, governments do overtax people and companies IMHO)
Taxes on revenue create strong incentives for vertical integration and consolidation (because there are fewer links in the chain to be taxed).

If one entity owns the farm, the food distribution, and the grocery store, they have one revenue transaction to be taxed. A small farmer selling their eggs to a distributor who sells them to the grocer who sells them to you is taxed three times on what amounts to same activity.
Corporate tax, as a share of total taxation in the US, has dropped from 30% to 10% since the 50's ... yet wages have been pretty stagnant since the 80's (in real terms).

You don’t need gut bacteria at all if you’re only eating food humans can efficiently metabolize on their own. E.g. if you eat only animal products, your body can completely break down the food into fats, peptides, etc. with no need for bacteria. There is no chance that my ancestors depended on bacterial symbiosis because there would have been long stretches of time each year where the only foods they had significant access to would have been the kind that gets absorbed before bacteria even have a chance to try to eat it.
Empirically, companies do not make equally sized political donations to all candidates and most certainly do not spend equal amounts lobbying for and against each bill. Post citizen's united, the political desires of corporations have a big impact on the direction of government.

When I was a child I remember going to food banks. I remember the food bank having no eligibility checks whatsoever.

I also remember a few rich people going there just to take advantage of it, and I remember days where we were so far back in line that we got nothing while the rich people walked out happily.

That vaccination site isn't any different. Those vaccines were intended for poor, underdocumented, at risk populations. Your vaccination saved one life (yours), but cost many more. It's not any different from the days I went hungry due to egoists like you.

Nowadays, I'm obviously in a different situation, but I still can't stand people with this "fuck you, got mine" mindset.
I’ve never understood how taxing corporations isn’t just double taxation.

The corporations end up distributing the money to stakeholders who then owe taxes on it.

What would happen if corporate tax rates were 0% because ... they aren’t really people after all?
The article is a little confusing to me.

> Now, with this latest ruling, the court has clarified that tribal police can search non-Indians suspected of state or federal crimes in Indian country and detain them until handing them off to federal or state authorities.

Non-Indians who commit crime on the reservation I grew up around are already searched and detained by tribal police until state police arrive. Crimes there do not go unpunished. The article claims this is a new policy, but a look at the syllabus seems to indicate that it's just an affirmation of existing policies that were being challenged in this case.

> As a “general proposition,” the “inherent sovereign powers of an Indian tribe do not extend to the activities of nonmembers of the tribe.” Montana v. United States, 450 U.S. 544, 565. The Court identified in Montana two exceptions to that general rule, the second of which fits almost like a glove here: A tribe retains inherent authority over the conduct of non-Indians on the reservation “when that conduct threatens or has some direct effect on . . . the health or welfare of the tribe.” Id., at 566. The conclusion that Saylor’s actions here fall within Montana’s second exception is consistent with the Court’s prior Montana cases. See Strate v. A–1 Contractors, 520 U.S. 438, 456 n. 11; see also Atkinson Trading Co. v. Shirley, 532 U.S. 645, 651. Similarly, the Court has held that when the “jurisdiction to try and punish an offender rests outside the tribe, tribal officers may exercise their power to detain the offender and transport him to the proper authorities.” Duro v. Reina, 495 U.S. 676, 697. Ancillary to the authority to transport a non-Indian suspect is the authority to search that individual prior to transport, as several state courts and other federal courts have held. While that authority has sometimes been traced to a tribe’s right to exclude non-Indians, tribes “have inherent sovereignty independent of th[e] authority arising from their power to exclude,” Brendale v. Confederated Tribes and Bands of Yakima Nation, 492 U.S. 408, 425 (plurality opinion), and here Montana’s second exception recognizes that inherent authority. In addition, recognizing a tribal officer’s authority to investigate potential violations of state or federal laws that apply to non-Indians whether outside a reservation or on a public right-of-way within the reservation protects public safety without implicating the concerns about applying tribal laws to non-Indians noted in the Court’s prior cases. Finally, the Court doubts the workability of the Ninth Circuit’s standards, which would require tribal officers first to determine whether a suspect is non-Indian and, if so, to temporarily detain a non-Indian only for “apparent” legal violations. 919 F.3d 1135, 1142. The first requirement produces an incentive to lie. The second requirement introduces a new standard into search and seizure law and creates a problem of interpretation that will arise frequently given the prevalence of non-Indians in Indian reservations. Pp. 3–7.
That's not the strange thing. The strange thing is limiting it on a projection rather than the magnitude of the velocity vector.

How about going backwards from Graeber's line of thought. His conclusion in the book is to introduce a universal basic income to get rid of bullshit jobs.

If we turn that around the question becomes: How many jobs (and what kind of jobs) would still be there if people had UBI and wouldn't need to work for a living?
> Yes it could cause serious problem but not the privacy itself that the problem, its other people using it to harm other people is the problem.

So is it OK to advocate for the destruction of people's privacy in this situation or not?

If it is, then you're admitting that you just don't care about the harm that could occur (and trying to minimize the responsibility you'd have by hand-waving the issue as being "other people")

If it is not OK to destroy people's privacy in this situation, then your entire argument about how the coerced loss of privacy isn't a problem is contradictory.
Panama is probably the one country that could hold it out - retaliation on the Canal would escalate matters to a point where rich countries have to choose between a dangerous military occupation or sitting at the table with the local government.

But yes, isolation of countries like Bermuda and Cayman Islands could achieve a lot very quickly. To be brutally honest, the UK government could shut down most of them tomorrow, if they wanted to; but they have a few incentives to do only just enough to appear like they want to, without actually doing so (going from nefarious "their own moneyed citizens want to keep money flowing" to relatively innocent "they risk losing whatever little formal power they still have on former colonies that they can't directly occupy anymore").
I honestly can't tell if you're trolling. "La-tinks" is just as much of an anglo-ization as pronouncing it like "Kleenex". There aren't a lot of cases in Spanish where three consonants are mashed together. Especially not ending with an "s" sound.
Does that filtering on Walmart’s website actually work, though? It’s broken half the time I try it.
Salaries come out of pre-tax revenue, any corporation can reduce their tax liability to about zero by handing out cash to their employees, yet that (almost) never happens.

Same goes for financing, while dividends can only be paid out from post tax profits loan payments and even stock buybacks can be structured in a very tax efficient manner. Yet that doesn’t happen that often either.
Yeah, I'm more convinced by Bellard's BPG. The comparison speaks for itself:

Why would you even try to compare coders to customer service oriented jobs? No computer coding company has ever had a slogan similar to "We're here to help". Every big box retailer promotes their employees being there to assist their customers. That's why the all wear the same color blue shirts, orange aprons, etc so that they are easily identifiable to customers looking for assistance. That's their job, at least part of the job.

Oh cool, Habinator looks interesting!

"Unrealistic expectations" -- This is another one of those things that can make one feel unproductive. Realizing the expectations are unrealistic can be hard to accept because it can make the pursuit of the goal feel like wasted time. One solution I've heard a lot is to pursue goals for which failure can also be considered productive, basically by learning useful information or a useful skill (or, if you're lucky, repurposing the failure, such as selling a failed synthetic rubber as a novelty toy called "Silly Putty").

Also may be helpful to consider beforehand what exact metrics will constitute "success" or "failure", as it can be easy to constantly think "it just needs a bit more time". Looks like Habinator may help with that.
