No, the US does not tax exports on turnover.

US corporate tax is on net income (profit), not on revenue. Ford's export price still carries the cost of US corporate tax

You assume the argument is that BMW doesn’t pay corporate tax but that is not the point. You assume the US is taxing exports unfairly. It isn’t, but it also doesn’t provide tax relief like VAT systems do.

You are ignoring the fact that VAT refunds lower the export price for BMW, but Ford gets no equivalent tax break. Even though both BMW and Ford pay corporate taxes, BMW’s exports are tax-free because VAT is refunded.

The real issue is structural tax asymmetry.

The EU removes tax burdens from exports (via VAT refunds) and US does not because it has no such system. This makes US exports less competitive in VAT countries like Germany.

The entire system makes for a trade imbalance for US exporters to the EU but there is no fair equivalence in EU hence Trump’s actions and remarks.
Nothing collected directly doesn't necessarily mean nothing collected at all. The turnover subject to said regime still needs to be reported, in higher detail if significant. Although I have no idea what exactly happens with such information, it's not hard to imagine it being used to settle the bill between countries.
Thanks, I can google. For some reason Jellyfin totally ignores folder structures for me.
I think the tramp feature is particularly useful. Bash is sticky because it will be the default on any box. Learning a second syntax or a set of subtle differences from bash can become necessary when you are using shells on many boxes. Tramp means you get edged on remote boxes (sort-of, I suppose)
Infuse is a great client for any Apple device; I like it way more than plex
I believe it.

My wife is boycotting Tesla, specifically because of Elon Musk's role in the destruction of our government. We're actively shopping for an electric car, and Teslas are off the table for us. I would guess that there are others who think the same way.

Given that TSLA is a personality-driven meme stock, it's very vulnerable to public opinion. Musk is alienating a lot of people, and that is likely to reflect in Tesla's valuation and sales.
Fix the Gulf
But there's no reason it can't emulate that. What people themselves think is mostly just a mashup of the crap they hear from other people anyway. It's also usually filtered for wrongthink, at least until they get to trust you enough.

I had this realization of how fake most people are when I started to use AI to talk online with people from a real-life-group I belonged to. I got it to talk the way they did and they liked it more than the real me. I then realized they're probably all just applying their own meat-AI filter to their own words anyway and not actually exposing their real feelings. I also know people who carefully draft and craft all their text and email messages to convey the feelings they want to show, whether they're honest or not.

Hey ,

I have around 10+ years of experience working on mobile domain. I have been worked for multiple product companies with fast paced release environment. I have been contributing individually and also led the team. I have been actively building, contributed highly on performance metrics improvement, migration of native to hybrid or hybrid to native app development. I have worked with US based startups and big corporate on contractual basis. I worked so far NCR, swiftsku , ey . I can easily get along with the team, happy to connect. Feel free to reach out. Thanks and cheers!
I agree with you about there not being anything wrong with watching YT videos (no virtue signaling about "grass" here) but at the same time, couldn't you just watch the video on 1.5x - 2x? You can easily skip the VPN ad reads, I don't know, how valuable is your time, really, at the level of minutes? I know that there will be people on here that have autistic levels of min-max optimization of their entire lives like some kind of techno-vampires or something but if you're watching a couple dozen videos, plus or minus, a day is this really enough time to be worth a bunch of micro-optimization?
Why would someone want to delete an article that was absolutely complete rubbish? Wikipedia may have standards, but they are really really low.

Of course it was all the monkeys fault, for being part of a geographic location, with poor energy planning, poor infrastructure support, in a third world country, all the things intervening primates need to shovel disinformation.

"The nationwide blackouts were attributed to a massive disruption caused by a monkey which had apparently intervened to trigger an irreparable damage which made it unable to restore the electricity in most parts of Sri Lanka immediately after the incident had unfolded." ( This from the Wikipedia article is not Artificial Intelligence, its shocked monkeys forced to type randomly type ).

Damn that damn monkey, and his triggering intervention of irreparable damage. Just what do they think AI will do with all this world salad? Was it written by AI or was it written by the monkey as a suicide note? or the place went to sh*t-hole Level 5 when Arthur C Clarke died?

Inquiring minds what to know, why third world problems require primate interventions?

This could have happened anywhere? Puerto Rico? New York in 1977? London 2003? Was it all the work of intervening primates?

When your premise is utterly absurd, you can drive the point anywhere: Shock the Monkey.
Reading "Invictus"
I have the series in their own folders. I tried to do a more nested structure to no avail. After a day of attempts to fix it I switched to Plex and it despite having its own quirks just worked fine.
Have they made watching OTA broadcasts, with EPG and DVR work as well as Plex? It's what keeps me on Plex.
The thing that's stopped me from going to Sri Lanka so far is not lack of fiber.
It's that every time I look up a genuine travel video of the place, they talk about how much the tuktuk drivers hassle any white person trying to walk around.

Outside of the few main hotspots, people don't hassle you in Bali. They are an incredibly friendly and polite people in spite of the tourism.

Of course, Bali isn't completely hassle free. But you can just walk down the street there, at least outside of the main hotspots. Taxi drivers will hail you, it's a bit annoying, but they're polite and will drive on when you say no thanks.

> There are multiple pharmaceuticals which are used to slow the progression of the disease

My father tried a number of them. Some quite lovely side effects on those—-it was basically the worst night terrors ever or the shits. Neither of which makes the already difficult job for Alzheimer’s patient caregivers any easier, nor does it improve the quality or dignity of the patient’s life either.

My father’s torture with Alzheimer’s ended last year. Slowing the disease may not always be the best approach in my opinion in hindsight. If anyone is currently going through this with a loved one, my advice is to think hard about the value of slowing the disease if the patient has reached the moderate dementia stages.
Yet it has and here we are.
I need something to work with before I can write the test. So my order tends to be: get the code working first with the simplest case, and by using it I know that simple case is working, then use that to write the first couple of tests. Only then would I expand the tests to the cases not written yet and to a TDD style.

This order also helps verify I didn't typo something in the test itself and end up TDD-ing myself into broken code.

Ask HN: What advantages do AI startups even have besides speed?
There's a lot of what one might refer to as "vertical AI" products being built by startups. Use an LLM in a specialized flow to accomplish some unique task that a general model itself can't just do yet on its own. Usually these involve some combination of specific prompt engineering and chaining together into a flow, external software tools like a vector database, etc.

One could call them "GPT wrapper startups" or whatever I suppose. YC seems very bullish on them at the moment, judging by their recent videos and compositions of accepted companies. But I remember a time when YC was very bullish on cryptocurrency/blockchain projects as well (and notice how they're not even mentioned in the latest Request for Startups?). I know it's early but I don't think we've seen any big hits from wrapper startups - though please feel free to share good counterexamples.

So aside from speed of execution, and perhaps putting the effort into personal relationships and sales to get the ball rolling, what do these startups really have to offer that's defensible?

I've seen first-hand a big company I consult for reject several of these 'wrapper startup' sales proposals because myself and others (correctly so) advocated that a few of the internal engineers could build a good enough product clone themselves with GPT. I.e. a bit of simple "intrapreneurship", which is easier now than ever.

Not to mention, whatever "agent" a startup is working on now, almost definitely 1 year from now a foundation model company (OAI, Anthropic, etc) will just release their brand-new Operator/Computer Use that will blow it out of the water. Unless maybe the startups glue and hack together enough integrations that it's a pain in the ass for the new agent to compete in all uses? But then if they can use other software... Well there's something different about agents I think.

But what do you all think? Will any of these wrapper startups be around in 5-10 years? What are some characteristics of the ones you think will last and grow?
Thinking Basketball needs a prime time spot for his analysis. Very good stuff.
I don't suppose you can recommend a place in Thailand that is not "becoming Bali" but still tourist friendly enough for non-locals to visit without feeling guilty about ruining the vibe?

It's not really fair to blame Apple for those dev's poor product, nor for Jellyfin's choice not to support an iOS client of their own. Plex has a fantastic iOS app, the Plex Music app is one of the prettiest music players ever produced. VLC has a fully-functional iOS app. Home Assistant's iOS client is indistinguishable from its Android client. The list of self-hosted apps that have great iOS companion apps is long and diverse.

This myth that Apple's ecosystem is so stifling isn't shared by the expansive developer community who work on Apple devices. It's far from perfect, to be sure, and they may overreach with some of their more stringent security and privacy controls (but none to my knowledge outright prevent apps like Jellyfin from being competitive). If Jellyfin wanted to release a high-quality app for Apple devices, there's nothing really stopping them.

I don't mean to suggest that your primary motivation for your opinions re: Jellyfin on iOS are the result of blind fanaticism, I'm certainly not saying any of this out of some tribal loyalty for Apple, either. The frequent partisanship surrounding Apple and Microsoft/Android has always been strange to me. Among the devices I use every day are a custom-built Windows 11 box, an M2 Mac Mini, an older PC running PopOS (Ubuntu-based), an iPad, and a Google Pixel. They're all tools, and they excel in their own areas. I like some things that aren't available to all platforms, and attempts to find reasonable alternatives don't always prevail. I like my Windows box for MS Flight Simulator, Remote Desktop Manager, and Visual Studio. I like my Mac Mini for Logic Pro, native Bash terminal, and DEVONthink. I like Linux for its infinite versatility and freedom. I like Android's customization, and Apple's unbeatable device/OS integrations and sync.
I'm fascinated by Soviet Politburo members and Nazi leaders, do these vilains live rent-free in my head? Should I let go of my interest in the Soviet bloc?

We're talking here about a vilainous cheating bastard who's a public figure, has sued Guinness to get his records reinstated, and has never stopped fighting to have everyone magically repair his reputation. I'm fascinated by the guy, just like I have been fascinated by the banality of evil my whole life.
I wonder whether washing streets, especially in summer when it doesn't rain as often, would solve two problems at the same time: urban heat islands (through evaporation) and dust spreading around the streets (washed away).
Hmm, I haven't chased that detail down myselg (busy ATM), but I strongly suspect the area intended was that of mainland Australia (or, close to equivilantly, the area of mainland lower 48 contiguous USofA).

Certainly a detail worth checking, farmland in Australia is much less than the area of Australia.
As for the civil war, things could have ended differently, except Prabhakaran seemed to have been gripped by arrogance.

Though he was fighting for Tamils, paradoxically, Prabhakaran also became the big killer of Tamils. He annihilated all competing Tamil militant groups ...

... it all led to [Prabhakaran's] last apocalyptic decision to fight to the last day — and the last Tamil. Through Kumaran Pathmanathan, KP, the LTTE ‘foreign minister’, we offered to bring out all the combatants and civilians from the war zone. When KP went to finalise the deal, Prabhakaran refused. The rest is history.

Unfortunate for the Tamils how it all played out, with little intervention or pressure from other regional powers. The past violence and pogroms were already indicative of the State's intent; they didn't need a second invitation.

That’s a great question to ask. And if it were the question being asked by the new folks in charge that would be pretty great. Instead we’ve got drunk toddlers smashing valuable things with a baseball bat. I’m not sure that’s an improvement over the status quo.
I have Jellyfin on my local network and it works like a dream. I used to use Plex and, at least for my needs, one was a straightforward replacement for the other. The web UI is clean and snappy and just works.

Not saying obviously so take it from this pizza fan that I've seen some incredible advances.

Example from last week: pasted my terraform that was using internal custom modules and prompt that based on this code build additional services not yet built using the module output so they could all communicate.

First run. 100% accurate. Zero typing after paste and prompt. 2 minutes of time.

It probably saved me an hour at least of looking up module output and documentation with the additional services.

It may be minor or simple yet I now have an additional hour.

Interactive Topology
The 3’s are not replacing 2’s at the same shot percentage. The 3’s are slightly lower percentage, but they are high enough that the overall value is higher than the long 2’s they replaced. They came to the conclusion that the long 2 was a high risk play so they replaced it with a comparable play with a higher reward. It’s common sense. Frankly, it’s the long 2 that’s a stupid play.

The video is worth watching and I’m not even a basketball fan. It shows parts of 3 games from 3 eras back to back and it’s really interesting. Personally, I find the modern game to be the most engaging.

The skill level of the guys who aren’t superstars is clearly much higher than the old days. Outside of the stars, you had guys with certain body types that were pretty much one dimensional. It was neat seeing a big guy like Jokic in the video making ridiculous passes and hitting 3’s. Twenty years ago, all he would have done is hang out 4 feet from the basket.
> To start off, there is no such thing as a false positive test. Your tests track invariants, specially those which other components depend on.

They were just talking about test doubles / mocks above that. Those cause all sorts of risks with false positives and false negatives, for example by mocking out a function the code under test relies on, but the mock not being changed when the contract between those two pieces of code changes.
Are there a lot of people complaining loudly about Jellyfin?

I've been impressed at the performance of the live re-encoding, but at the same time annoyed that it happens rather than streaming the original media (I think it always transcodes?). The upside is that it will play anything on anything.

My main gripe is with how hard it is to actually get it to find the files - you can't just feed it a folder full of media and expect it to play it, it needs to be some carefully crafted structure that I haven't yet fully figured out. So instead of dropping a file then watching it on the TV, I drop it, try to watch it, then have to go back to the PC to fiddle.
That can't be true, especially not in a territorial game like Go. Could you find any link to that?

A similar exercise is lined paper, one year per line. Your life on a page or two. You can vertical-bracket ranges of time, and have multiple columns (even extending the sheet). One nice aspect, is constraint propagation helps a lot in figuring out when things happened. As the years fill in, you get "well, it has to be after X and before Y, and I've already penciled in that summer and that one, so it must have been this one". For greater-than-year precision you can mark a tick, or a blob, or a month letter, but you don't have to. Each time I've done this with someone, there's been something that surprised them.
Actually after reading it more carefully I probably see why it didn't work for me, but the notes in the page are bizarre:

* Avoid special characters such as * in M*A*S*H, use MASH instead.

Since when a common ASCII character is a special one? What about more common unicode characters I use?

* Do not abbreviate the Season folder with S01 or SE01 or alike.

I.e. if I put anything not in the folder named "Season XX" it won't work? Ugh... really?

* Season folders shouldn't contain the series name, otherwise Jellyfin can in certain cases (Stargate SG-1 due to the dash and one, for instance) misdetect your episodes and put them all under the same season.

Well, how about to fix it?

* Episode numbering for specials may vary from metadata provider to metadata provider.

Very helpful, so the "Series XX" required above won't always work.

And even if everything above fails why not to sort by name? It should not be hard for any engineer, right?
On audio sync issues, I unfortunately see them with jellyfin rather frequently on apple tv when using homepods as audio output. I end up having to enable the "native player" in the experimental settings to get the audio in-sync.

I've previously reported this to the developers of the app, and they've closed the issue saying it was a bug in one of their dependencies, without fixing the issue. It remains unfixed.
Yes, but people like you are a special case, not the typical case. Most people live in cities or suburbs.
