I don’t think you understand what they’re discussing.

If you run a plumbing company, make $100K in revenue, pay a plumber $100K, you have no profits, owe no corporate taxes.

If you run a software company, make $100K in revenue, pay a software engineer $100K, section 174, which just went into effect recently, means you now owe taxes on $90K of profit. This is because you must spread dev costs over 5 years, you can’t deduct them in the year they happened.

>Precisely. They didn’t think of their work as R&D because it was not R&D. Frankly, they should have seen this coming

Don't you have this backwards, or do I?

Software development is now going to be treated as R&D, which means that costs have to be amortized. That's not an tax advantage, it's a disadvantage. All the other businesses you list get to expense their labour costs. But we agree, software dev should not be treated differently.
This would invariably be followed up with a price increase if any meaningful number of customers have months with no use.

The company would have to cover the costs, likely split between some expected decrease in churn and the rest in a price increase.

If the service is willing to afford eating that cost today, why wouldn't they do a price decrease across the board? Surely they'd rather help those who most use their service rather than the minority that pays but doesn't use it.

FWIW, Gergely Orosz provided some helpful background on Twitter and in his newsletter:

One: London has an exceptionally high density of connectivity, with fast, low-latency connections across most of the western hemisphere. It's easy to recruit a lot of good technical staff at comparatively low cost. Power isn't particularly cheap, but it's relatively low-carbon and is moving quickly towards net-zero.

Two: The British government is desperate to cultivate the appearance of a thriving high-tech, high-growth economy and is willing to offer very generous terms for inbound investment. The current Prime Minister Rishi Sunak fancies himself as something of a tech bro and is eager to grow the British tech sector, even if that involves a lot of flexibility on things like tax and regulatory compliance. A large faction within the governing Conservative Party are keen to reposition the UK along the lines of Singapore or Hong Kong, acting as a low-tax, low-regulation bridge between larger international markets; there's a lot of movement in that direction that isn't particularly transparent.

Ireland used to be the benchmark in that respect, but it has become a more difficult environment due to persistent intervention by the EU and domestic discontent. Britain's post-brexit position as EU-adjacent imposes a lot of costs on SMEs, but it's attractive if you have the legal and lobbying resources to creatively navigate the ambiguity and uncertainty of that position.
Speaking of Thomas L. Friedman, I highly recommend his book The World is Flat.
I've found it most useful to have form types that are derivable from db entities, but which are designed for parsing (and rendering) forms.

What backend library do you use? Mine (javalin) gives me back forms as: `Map<String, List<String>>`, i.e. a map of form keys to list of values.

In your case, you have five keys that matter: capacity, memberType, members, from, to - so you could have a completely flat form object from which you derive your catA and catB entities easily enough.

I wrote a function which converts from the generic form structure to a more nested/typed structure, but I found that two levels of nesting becomes hard (maybe impossible) to reason about (consider lists with mismatched lengths, and how you'd handle them on nested objects); in any case, I'd be able to have:

data class MyForm(val catA: CatA, val catB: CatB)

...where CatB is flattened:

data class CatB(val from: OffsetDateTime, val to: OffsetDateTime)

...and then I'd be able to transform the form as:

request.toFormObject<MyForm>()

I've found this to hold up well so far. (I plan to write a few blog posts about the whole stack I'm playing with, including this -- subscribe on http://smaller.fish if interested in seeing them when published. No spam.)

Agreed. The financial aspect trope of raising kids is completely invalidated by comparing current financial models to the ones from early 20th century: everyone was way worse off and yet had more children. The issue is more likely related to over-use of the internet, pornography and the decline in family values.
Another alternative is to use JVM plugins like JRebel.
I used to have similar mindset about this like you, but let's read what's an actual definition of R&D:

>Research and development is the set of innovative activities undertaken by corporations or governments in developing new services or products, and improving existing ones.

>R&D activities differ from institution to institution, with two primary models of an R&D department either staffed by engineers and tasked with directly developing new products, or staffed with industrial scientists and tasked with applied research in scientific or technological fields, which may facilitate future product development. R&D differs from the vast majority of corporate activities in that it is not intended to yield immediate profit, and generally carries greater risk and an uncertain return on investment.

and as you see "R&D department either staffed by engineers and tasked with directly developing new products, or staffed with industrial scientists and tasked with applied research in scientific or technological fields, which may facilitate future product development"

developing new products falls under R&D

I meant that, yes you are right. You are not expected to teach differential forms to non-math students at all because it's not effective. The existence of differential forms only means that it can be eventually made rigorous if you push hard.
when we burn long carbon chains, these are broken up and combined with atmospheric oxygen to form CO2, so any CO2 we produce through burning carbon sources we dig up actually reduces O2 availability. However, a CO2 boom might free up oxygen from other molecules in an indirect way. CO2 dissolved in water forms carbonic acid, this increase in acidity is good for species like Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, which will help recover much of the oxygen trapped in complexes like iron oxide.

Or everything goes to hell in a handbasket and earth looks like mars in a few thousand years. Who knows.
Who actually actively thinks about skin colour when they use a word with a colour in it? Terms like "white lie", "white label", "white flag", "white whale", "whiteout", "blackmail", "black ice", "Black Friday", "black humour", "blackout", "in the black". At least I've never seen one of those words and thought to myself "hey, like the colour of someone's skin!"

Not that skin colours are white or black. They're really all just various shades of brown.
Yes, the Pico cannot run an operating system as it has a -M (microcontroller) processor and not an -A (application) processor.

It is built to just run one process in essence with minuscule amounts of RAM.
Yes, analogue computing. It's a world of pain though, each individual operator in each individual device is going to have a slightly different level of accuracy, which is also going to be affected by temperature, so you need to learn a whole new set of analytical skills and operational practices to ensure that your model works correctly on each one at a customer location. And that's not even thinking about the testability at shipment of the devices being in spec, and that they are at all operating temperatures and over the lifetime of the device.

Here’s an article with more info about what changed and why:

https://www.theregister.com/2024/01/12/us_tax_research/

This change was actually part of the Trump tax cuts in 2017. It was delayed by five years as an accounting trick to make the bill look better at the time: the tax cuts’ projected long-term impact on the deficit didn’t look quite so bad when they tacked on a bunch of tax increases that would take effect in the distant future of 2022 (and with the assumption that this could of course be repealed if Republicans stayed in power).

Why target software companies? I guess because their owners look more like Democratic voters than, say, real estate investors who benefit from massive tax breaks that remain untouchable.

Tesla Employees Using Vehicle Cameras to Spy on 'Private Scenes;' Owners Suing (2023)
From what I have read many murders happen by "normal" people - no psychopathy or anything is necessary. And a big problem seems to be rigidity in thought.

While I agree that controlling emotions is essential, gracefully dealing with them in the first place is also very important. Emotional outbursts seem like singular events while in reality they are build-ups that happen over long stretches of time. Maybe a more intuitive example is amok runs at schools. Counter-intuitively these are usually done by people who seem calm - cholerics are less likely to do amok runs.

FWIW reading also through the Wikipedia page, there was already a restraining order a year before.
Or you could provide some counter evidence. At the time of this writing, sending $100 to Algeria (it was on top of the list) via WU is a flat $8 fee. Currently BTC transaction fees today are $9.94. So yes, it is literally cheaper and you don't have to guess about the numbers.

BTC transaction fees are greater than WU, it takes longer, and of course you need to deal with BTC. At the US side you're still beholden to all the AML and KYC issues that you'd need to deal with anyway, again unless you are doing it illegally.

Show me the "unbanked" who can use BTC but somehow cannot walk up to a WU stand with cash in hand. It's a preposterous argument.
I've been relying for years on Mediahuman's downloader:

Could you please elaborate for the general HN public what TSMC is doing and how they are advancing too fast while Intel (also AMD?) are "stagnated"? I am not talking about bashing Intel but it seems there is a lot to talk about TSMC from the science, engineering, and business execution perspectives. It seems like TSMC is playing a complete new game in the chip industry.

>You're better off listening to music however you please and buying albums on Bandcamp to support the artists;

Often, the "listening to music however you please" will contradict "buying albums on Bandcamp to support the artists" ... because the particular artists the listener wants to listen to are on a big label and thus, their albums are not on Bandcamp.

The "buy on Bandcamp" advice only works if one likes to listen to the type of artists (typically indie) that happen to release on Bandcamp.

On the other hand, if music listeners want the mainstream stuff (Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Rolling Stones, etc)... they're only on the big tech music streamers like Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, etc.

I basically agree but who knows how long the unknown breakthroughs will take given the large number of smart people working on it? Next week? Next century? It's hard to put a time on it.

That said it seems to be the pattern that as soon as the computing ability becomes cheap and powerful enough that individual researchers can muck around with it at home, the algorithms get figured out not long after.

To be fair, Sewell (Fujitsu security team manager) was asked about these bonuses, and denied that they related to prosecutions; they were just for doing their job well.

To be unfair, the job they were tasked with was providing evidence to support the prosecutions. And Sewell was a strikingly unconvincing witness; "It was 2008. I don't remember." Apparently he remembered almost nothing that might have a bearing on the inquiry.
I work in the music industry and am intimately familiar with streaming earnings. While you are technically correct, I would much rather someone use this tool and buy a ticket to a show or an LP that stream over Spotify. In fact, the ad supported tier of Spotify is one of the lesser equitable ways to pay artists.

Your intent is good but gatekeeping people to use an inequitable system is not the solution.
I love the simplicity, but would not be surprised if there's another $X still on the table because there are no accomodations for mobile devices.

Much oxygen also gets trapped in the oxidization of things. Its pretty prolific, and part of why antioxidants in our food are considered so important. While some species of microorganism exist which might be able to help recover much of this oxygen with the right environment (e.g. the hot CO2 heavy and thus acidic water heavy environment we're creating) it might not be a realistically useful amount over time, or in time.
In general, people have the wrong idea about how fuses work. They're not supposed to blow at their rated current, they're supposed to withstand it indefinitely, and only blow at much higher currents.

Which is why I love systems programming in automatic resource management languages so much, it is something one needs to actually live through, like those systems.

Most of these systems have failed for monetary and bad management reasons, not technical ones.

Unfortunately in technology it seems ideas have to be recycled multiple times until they finally catch on, the hard part is if one is still around when they do catch on.

Almost no detail of any kind except 60 instances in a rack, and a very brief look at the chassis.

I got the impression that the guide didn't know anything about what they were talking about w.r.t internals or how it's used, but that could be sexism or racism I guess. At no point did they mention anything about why there was an external thunderbolt network controller (or why it was so big).

No information about orchestration or storage or... any detail at all really.

"here's a fan, there's a thunderbolt ethernet", "it fits like this".

Very surface level, which is annoying because its very clearly marketing for developers or technical people who even care about GitHub.

Your battery usage sounds exactly like the kind of behaviour they're trying to encourage but which aren't apparent to most people without an interest in these things so you left with the energy monitor which is really just a nice bonus to the system rather but is tangible to the lay person.

Of course the very real benefits of this can be abused by the gov and there are some conspiracy types using that to push their own agenda but on the whole I'm largely positive about the smart grid stuff.
>>and as far as I know it hasn't

>>non-EU immigration has increased hugely since Brexit.

Both things can be true at the same time.

If you run a British business it has become vastly more difficult to hire someone from the EU(where there is a lot of high skilled talent, especially in IT). Before Brexit if you found a candidate say in Spain, they could start working for you the next day, with the same paperwork as any British employee. Now if you wanted to hire the same candidate the hoops to go through to get them a visa are crazy and it takes minimum of 2-3 months to sort it out, not to mention the extra cost.

But since now the expense and effort for hiring EU candidates is roughly the same as hiring non-EU ones, is that really a surprise non-EU immigration has increased? Not to mention that EU candidates don't want to move to UK, and who could blame them - why accept a job on a 2 year visa that gives you and your family zero stability, when similarly paid jobs are available within the EU. And again - if you were going to bother with the whole visa nonsense why not go straight for US and get a much higher salary for the same job.

Just my 2c as an immigrant to UK.
There’s a lot of misinformation on this post.

A 10 million stream song will gross about $30-40k. After cuts for an artist, depending on the structure, they might get anywhere from most of that to $5-10k.

Not that Spotify is an equitable payment system but let’s be honest about the numbers.

What’s the argument that SI’s precarious financial & ownership arrangement (“greed”) led to its precarious commercial position and not vice-versa?

Certainly this article doesn’t make it.
The fabs don't really have strategic value because the pace of development has slowed down. The fabs are presumably rigged for easy sabotage, so if something... happens to Taiwan, neither China nor the West can make use of them. It would barely affect the state of the art since Samsung is not far behind and Intel will eventually get its sh*t together again. And key parts of the supply chain are in the West, and China's access to it is already restricted.

Edit: they have massive economic value of course, but economic factors alone have rarely prevented conflicts.
Tell HN: Russia has started blocking OpenVPN/WireGuard connections
For the past three days Russians have been unable to use their VPN services working via OpenVPN/WireGuard protocols, and some even have reported that in certain situations SSH connections have stopped working.

The prospect of an isolated Russian interweb has become oh so real.

As a person currently residing in Russia I can confirm that I've been unable to connect to my favourite VPN provider for the past three days, not even its official application works.

I've not seen any discussions on the English-peaking Internet, not it's been in the news for some reasons despite its importance in preserving freedom of information and opinions.

> I don’t see why software should receive special treatment when 99.99% of software engineers/developers are not in any way engaged in what might be considered genuine scientific research and development, which R&D tax advantages should be reserved for.

Why? There's a clear relationship between R&D spend and economic growth. This is including R&D spend on non-scientific endeavours like commercial products + processes, which the majority of non-maintenance software work falls into.

Estimates vary, but I've never seen a cost/benefit analysis of unrestricted R&D that finds anything lower than a $2 return for every $1 spent in unrestricted R&D.

> falsified evidence

I haven't heard any testimony that would lead to that conclusion (yet).

There does seem to have been routine falsification of records; "everyone" knew the system was buggy, so there were standard procedures for correcting incorrect records. When those procedures failed, and the records became even more incorrect as a result, PO managers just gave up and blamed the subpostmasters.
