Taxes are levied against profit, not revenue.

If you spend the money on operational expenses (OpEx), then you reduce your profit by that amount and thus your taxes.

If you spend the money on capital expenses (CapEx), you create assets that will depreciate in future. The depreciation can be deducted from your profit and also reduce your taxes in forward periods.

Thus a company can arrange its affairs to have very high free cash flow but low profits. And sometimes vice versa, which usually leads to unhappy surprises for careless investors.

If you want to pitch Rust to the engine guys, you're going to be battling against their toolchains that have been developed for decades and have some of the best static analysis tools under the sun.

I've never used static analysis tools for C++, but from what I've heard, the reason they need to be so advanced is because C++ is so difficult to analyse. Rust, on the other hand, with it's strong, static type system, may not even require extra static analysis tools to be used effectively.
"President Barack Obama has canceled a planned meeting in Moscow with Russia's President Vladimir Putin - a diplomatic snub that follows tensions over NSA leaker Edward Snowden.

Generally, no. The key difference between personal and corporate tax in most countries is that personal tax is conceptually taxed first, after which you can spend what's left. But a corporation gets to spend first, after which taxes are levied on whatever remains.

Unlike you or I, if a company makes no profits, it pays no tax on its income.

The basic reason is because income is seen as distinct from profit. If personal income taxes were based on a profit-like model, you would require everyone in a country to keep double-entry books on every transaction they made. That is unlikely to be a very popular policy.

In my experience, when a crazy person gets the urge to take someone else's thing, then that person is not thinking, "Oh, it's theirs, hands off." The crazy person is just acting out the urges, and the lady was genuinely surprised that the police officers would have a problem with what she was doing.

I don't think the article was proposing ankle bracelets for everyone. That was just one solution that worked for some of Mr. Dart's patients. Incidentally, how messed up is it, that the sheriff is in charge of creating a decent home for the mentally ill in his district.

Those of us who deal with the marginally criminally insane, know that the system is just not set up to handle them. These people need adult supervision, and the social service just throws them into the street, to be arrested and put in jail every time.
I'm slightly surprised that anyone working in a scrap metal place would assume that a glowing metal was supernatural before considering the possibility of something harmful. Surely a scrap place would encounter dangerous substances and metals regularly? I assume that very poor standards, little in the way of education and cultural differences come into it, but this turned into one hell of a disaster.

IMO just finish chapter 14 and you've basically finished the Godel portion of the book. The rest felt more like Hofstadter's random musings on AI, DNA and some other topics (some of which felt outdated). There's some crazy anecdotes of Ramanujin that I had never heard elsewhere though.
Yes, I did also go to the Police with my frame numbers. I also heard of people who know people who got their bike back...if you know what I mean.

As I said, when a criminal act reached the point where the (possible) criminals advertise their goods openly (in newspapers, on the net, on flea markets), I think they just crossed the line. They a) seem to be sure to not be cauth and b) have already enough customers. So with my decision to not give them 100€ but "give" them a new bike worth 10-times that, I support their established market even more.

When I was ~15, I idioticly tried to sell a box full of my copied C64 games. I have been visited by some undercover cops who sued my parents for very much money. I never tried that again...

I agree with the 'make things const' part, but I would expect m_cachedWidth to be mutable. I'm too lazy to check that now, but if so, that would not help here.

Even if it is not, I still think this is an example of "how you should modify your code". Reason? Doing

temp = foo();
temp *= bar();
m_member = temp;

keeps your state consistent in case bar() throws. I would even use it if bar() is known not to throw, because you can't know what the future will bring, and because what you 'know' sometimes isn't true. Defensive programming, if easy as in this case, is a net benefit.

Show HN: Performance Monitoring + ROI Analytics
hello everyone,

we are launching private beta of fueldeck.com, a performance monitoring + analytics platform that helps in understanding how performance is impacting your business metrics like user engagement, retention, conversion and much more by providing performance metrics in a user-centric way.

our main differentiation lies in segmented analysis of performance metrics (geographic, browser, devices etc) and how they relate with your business metrics (like do mac users have higher engagement for faster sites? do they pay more as well, leading to higher sales? similarly, comparing different countries or cities and other metrics?).

i'll really like to hear your thoughts :)

thank you so much for your time!

Sorry, I should have been more specific.

C/C++ const has no effect on optimization, unless it's on a global/static object and the compiler can see the original declaration.

I'm not going to look it up in the C++ spec, but in C it's only undefined behavior if the original object was const, and it would make sense for C++ to be the same.

I second to that. If you want security (at least on a servers/ISP level) choose some 3rd world country which government (preferably not very fond of USA) does not have technical means on surveillance. I live in a small EU country and government’s IT forces are just laughable, so I can just imagine that in less civilised countries it should be close to non-existent. Combined with strong encryption to protect data in broad Internet it should do, at least for a while..

In addition, I'm not a huge fan of linkedin either. There are no guarantees to it. One is that most of what's on there is hard to check and linkedin endorsements are just unreal to start with.

I know people who just endorse each other for random things. I have endorsements from people who I have never worked with for technologies I have never worked with.

So in the end — Github or similar wins. Allows me to see their code (and contributions), and that's what matters. For the rest (compatibility on a social level), there are interviews and probation.
In WebKit, we have macros to always inline or never inline for our target compilers, so we can force the issue if the compiler won't take the hint in a place that matters.

That's still just ciphertext. The Silent Phone session negotiation is P2P (unless I'm mistaken), so there isn't even ciphertext passing through there. Silent Text uses something like OTR, so there's still only ciphertext.
The safeguards for foreigners are much less than those for US citizens. For example, the NSA doesn't need to go through FISA court to spy on non-citizens. So if you store your data on a non-US server, you're probably just making it easier for them to get to it, not harder.

Not to mention, most countries will pretty much cooperate with the US when it comes to intelligence. The only ones that might not are countries like Russia or China that have their own military-industrial complexes, which are just as eager to get at your data and a lot less scrupulous about using it.

" Mike Janke, Silent Circle’s chief executive, said in a telephone interview late Thursday that his company had destroyed its server. “Gone. Can’t get it back. Nobody can,” he said. “We thought it was better to take flak from customers than be forced to turn it over.”

I think you're absolutely right. The only effect that NSA/... (and let's be honest, any other country is just jealous they don't have the capabilities of an NSA :p) has on the Internet community is going to be a wider and further proliferation of darknets, P2P and F2F services.

Argh! noticed that all my links and bookmarklets 404! so that is what it was.

I had a bookmarklet that would generate an email, insert it into the current form and then open a window to mailinator so I can retrieve the confirmation email.

I also had other bookmarkets and links that I used for other things (I am much better at writing software for my own tasks than I am at publishing it)

If you used it in the same way I did, the old URL:

/maildir.jsp?email={{ email }}

is now

/inbox.jsp?to={{ email }}

there is no excuse to break URL's, you never know how people are using your product. Not everybody goes to the homepage, fills out a form and presses submit. The entire web can be used as an informal API.

Edit: I can confirm what Amadou says in reply, you can't directly access the mail page anymore. Even after updating URL's it still won't load, it is relying on a token. The way I used the app is now useless.

I wonder if they destroyed it before it was part of an investigation? It may have been preemptive to avoid that scenario when the Feds eventually did come knocking on the door.

Edit - yes that looks to be the case. From their blog: We see the writing the wall, and we have decided that it is best for us to shut down Silent Mail now. We have not received subpoenas, warrants, security letters, or anything else by any government, and this is why we are acting now.
