If a tax on revenue was used the outcome would be companies would try to increase profits but reduce revenue so high margin products would be the goal which would mean higher prices / fewer sales.

I think the solution should be market based. Whatever rate google US gets from google Ireland should be available to any company and google Ireland should be forced to sell any services/ip to any company who requests it at that rate.

Doing anything else means the cost of the IP google Ireland charges to google US is made up.

Yes - corporate income tax should be eliminated entirely - the revenue can be made up in other, less terrible ways. Corporate incomes taxes are a poor way to address inequality because they tend to fall, at least in part, on workers, and not on wealthy people themselves, who largely accrue wealth through investment, not work. If the goal is to reduce inequality then we should simply tax rich people more, not corporations, whose money will eventually be passed to shareholders anyway.

Anecdata:

~ I've been bitten in the hand drawing blood by two different dogs (not mine).
~ My daughter had a large dog nipping her face while the owner laughed.
~ I have too different acquaintances that were mauled on their face pretty badly.

All these dogs had owners nearby.

I love dogs and have had one or more the majority of my life, but people are irresponsible and arrogant.
Speech in and of itself isn’t what I’d imagine is the argument for getting the boot, it’s posting something publicly that will inevitably direct an internet mob onto or cause the media to dox and slander a founder in YC. This is particularly unethical where it seems fairly debatable if the accusation is true, or even that the grounds of the accusation (the ethics involved) are objective.

Interesting and I agree there's a real problem, but...what about the difference in what tax deductions are allowed? It seems like you'll just end up with competition in which countries allow more 'expenses' to be deducted. If one country gives a higher tax benefit for any business that is carbon-neutral, say, allowing deductions to count more if they are somehow linked to combating climate change, is that cheating? How broad are they allowed to define "combating climate change"? Or any other thing you might plausibly have tax policies that are intended to encourage something or other. I see why they want to do this, but ultimately I am skeptical as to whether or not it will make any real change in the tax rates that large corporations (who can afford savvy accountants) will pay.

The top corporate tax rate had been ~35% for roughly 25 years ; in 2018 it dropped to 21% and wage growth has indeed increased since 2018. Were wages positively affected by the lower corporate tax rate? I don’t know, so many factors affect the economy; corporations might choose to lower prices or do more research on better products or issue greater dividends to attract capital for expansion. I was just making the point that we humans end up paying somehow for the spending that the government chooses for us and that I would rather make these tax costs more visible to the people actually paying the taxes.
This argument falls apart for flow through entities. They are essentially treated the same as the shareholders by the IRS but they are treated as distinct by other parts of the government, banks, courts, etc.

So what service are you actually paying for besides just... Getting taxed by the IRS?
No, the value of benefits in kind count towards the income tax band.
It is totally counter to HN ethos to downvote a opinion you don’t agree with, and I’m disappointed others don’t give pause and ask themselves why they’re doing it first.

All the responses in this thread have been cordial and relevant, so it is disappointing to see some of them met with this kind of silent disapproval, which is reserved for non-sequitors, those acting in bad faith, or impolite speech.

There are a lot of different dog cultures around the world and even within the US.

In cities that have a lot of people from all over the country and world you end up with a lot of culture clashes. People do things that in the context they grew up in are totally reasonable and normal, but from someone else’s perspective seems uncomfortable or even dangerous.

In theory municipal rules should harmonize, albeit with some people left unhappy, but it’s another American cultural quirk that some rules are widely ignored. But which ones is again a matter of geographic diversity.

If you're interested, you can look into "Financial Independence / Retire Early" discussion forums and read about people's plans for retiring and living off their investments. Most that I've seen that retire in USA are aiming for much more than $1m and still live rather frugally, though it depends on their plan, how much longer they plan on living, if they are planning on giving anything away as inheritance, and where they plan on living.

Agree! And it does harm that people are behaving that way, but that doesn't give me reason to limit people who are not irresponsible and arrogant. Yes, some things are dangerous to consume for example, and irresponsible people can make it worse for everyone by consuming those things, but I don't think we should outlaw those things just because of that.

If you really really want blur, just apply enough of it. Otherwise, just pick a solid color that matches the environment.

The text example in the article that GP linked[1] looks pretty reversible to me indeed. Not sure it needs a neural network, or at least it could be enhanced a lot with character frequency checking or matching words against a dictionary, but I haven't ever seen text unblurred where I didn't expect it might be possible.

Personally I don't find blurring to be less annoying than a reasonable color. Pitch black stands out a lot, but something close to the background color (but clearly distinct) is unobtrusive while also being clear that something was censored and not just a broken image.

When companies generate more profit they very rarely do any of the things you mention, why would they start doing it if they didn't have to pay taxes at all? In reality when a company gets to generate more profit the result is an even bigger gap between C-levels and normal employees salaries.

Here is a better idea: companies should be the only entities paying taxes in a capitalist society. If you think about it it really makes perfect sense :) since they already do all the boring accounting stuff and with the power of their lobbies they could make tax law simpler and more efficient (something that normal citizen will never be able to push forward).
The issue you are facing with OpenJPEG has nothing to do with PHR, (which isn't actually "personal health information"), but the fact that the library doesn't decode truncated images.

I suspect this is based on Marx's analysis of the creation of value. That is, for Marx only primary production creates value, all other economic or human activity destroys value. So for example in Marxism making a clock creates value, but transporting that clock from the factory to a shop, giving it shelf space, advertising it and selling it to a customer all destroy value. They are additional services that increase the cost of the product, and Marx actually used the term parasitic for these activities and argued they should all be minimised or preferably eliminated.

This resulted in Marxists creating uniform, identikit societies with standardised products directly distributed wherever possible. No advertising, no consumer choice because the process of accumulating the information necessary, and selecting products on an individual basis instead of collectively is wasteful.

The result was actual productivity in the real economy collapsed because it turns out some of these parasitic activities are kind of important. They ruthlessly stripped out all the bullshit and produced stale, drab societies of bored hungry drones. Thanks guys.

Who actually needs plays, books of fiction, music, nice clothes, holidays to pretty places? Who needs nice haircuts, polished nails, stylish cars, waited service? All of that is bullshit we don't need.

The only slight problem is it eliminates everything that actually makes life worth living. It eliminates all forms of aesthetic and cultural value, recognising only productive economic value, devoted to the activity of production itself. It suborns human value to material value.
It's because they're trying to give people breaks on what they owe. The more money you make (and the more ways in which you make it), the more exemptions and breaks you tend to be eligible for, so the more complicated your taxes tend to be. A realistic simplified tax code would probably mean you, as a senior engineer, would pay much more in taxes, which would be fine with me! A properly-funded government can be a great boon to society. But you might not feel the same way, so be careful what you wish for.
I probably should have left that part out of my original comment, since it was just my personal opinion and not relevant to the point I was making (risk-free rate vs. non-risk-free rate).

I think most papers only seem contradictory because:

1) the conclusion has been simplified to the point where the meaning is lost (e.g. "coffee is good for you!" vs "black coffee is marginally better than soda, red bull, highly processed fruit juice and all the other junk people typically drink." This is very, very common)

2) the study has significant limitations (e.g. we just looked at what people ate and how healthy they were, and tried our best to identify and account for all the many confounding factors after the fact. Epidemiological studies can be useful to identify potential areas of further research but are usually not very strong evidence by themselves)

3) the study was designed to come to a conclusion that a vested interest wanted (e.g. most people have different natural cholesterol "set points" given the same diet. "So if we look at the correlation between egg consumption and cholesterol in a small group, instead of the change in cholesterol for the same people eating eggs vs not eating eggs, the effect will be lost in the noise and we can make it seem like eggs don't raise your cholesterol significantly", gleefully thought the American Egg Board)

I'm a big fan of NutritionFacts.org for breakdowns of all sorts of studies, pointing out all the limitations and figuring out what the studies actually say.
1) http://www.structuredprocrastination.com/ is amazing when done properly. It should not be confused with productive procrastination which is closely related but much less useful.

So the idea of structured procrastination is you put at the top some task that is very important but at the same time could possibly be delayed or dealt at the very last minute.

Your tasks 2-5 are where the gains lie.

This is where you put your writing a book, writing that documentation for your project, writing that game, polishing that UI for your visualization.

Recent anecdata: I had to grade 90 algorithms exams, which I had foolishly allowed to submitted in about 10 different languages without an auto-grader. So I was getting PHP, Java,Rust, TS for Deno etc etc.

Instead I procrastinated for a few days writing a number of Jupyter Notebooks for munging some data which I had put off for about 4 months.

As soon as I received 10 bachelor thesis to review I moved those to the top of my list and I graded the 90 algorithms exams with time to spare.

So productive procrastination is the less useful cousin of structured procrastination.

In productive procrastination you put in slots 2-5 tasks that seem productive but rapidly reach diminishing returns.

So if my slot 2 was going over 40 points on chess Puzzle Rush, it would be better than playing 30 second bullet chess but still not really that productive...

So polishing UI could not be that productive at some point, or running 1000 AB tests.
Nitpicking this a bit, IP addresses don't necessarily identify unique destination devices at all. They're just a label to help devices make a decision about packets they receive. IP addresses are more about the journey than the destination.

To expand, I think it's crucial to understand that in order for an IP address to have any use at all, the device processing the packet must have additional configuration to know what to with it.

Generally, devices either process packets locally, forward to other devices (possibly after modification), or discard them. This decision happens even at the end user's device, where you have a "default route" to a gateway device that then knows better.

The default route is literally just a route that says "the entire internet is over here".

Mail package analogies are common, but unlike physical mail, with IP packets it's no trouble to send copies of packets to multiple receivers (multicast, sometimes used to broadcast video streams) or to any receiver that happens to be closest to the user (anycast, common with DNS), or evenly distributed to any configured destination (load-balancing).

IP networking is fundamentally pretty simple, but the simplicity gives you quite an array of options when you start to think about different mechanisms a router could employ to make routing decisions, especially if they communicate with other routers to share information about the networks they're connected to.
If we're being simplistic, then I could just as well say:

More corporation taxes = lower income taxes

A citizen should be happy that their government is seeking a greater share of its tax revenue from corporations, especially foreign-owned corporations, because it is easier for the citizen to avoid buying an iPhone than to avoid earning income.

In WA sales tax only applies to retail sales. Which means a revenue tax and a retail sales tax are not equivalent.

For example, if a home builder is buying lumber directly from a wholesaler, they aren’t paying a sales tax. Whereas the revenue tax does catch a portion of that income.

Maybe you mean we should broaden the concept of sales tax, and apply it to all transactions? That would be closer to equivalent to a revenue based tax structure, and would probably end up looking very similar to the VAT tax structure in Europe.

I’m fine with a VAT tax, if we want to structure things that way. Honestly it’s a lot more paperwork to manage that way instead of revenue, but either works for me.

Assuming arguendo that a sales and revenue tax were equivalent, a revenue tax would be the much simpler way to manage tax collection. Why would you ever prefer a structure that creates a tax event for every transaction, to an equivalent one that creates a single tax event per business entity?
