Those two concepts are very much the same thing. There is no literally distinction between legally minimising the taxes you have to pay, and legally avoiding a tax that you would otherwise have to pay. You just want to have a different word

According to this article, it’s actually evasion when Apple does it!

The number of users they have is _the_ reason they’re generally better than the competition. It’s a social networking site dedicated to finding jobs/employees for people. It has slightly better features then a lot of other job listing

That probably says more about the market you’re in, or you as a candidate. Every time I’ve looked for a job on LinkedIn I’ve found one almost immediately, and the recruiters I know who most reliably have something for me I all met via Linke

You can turn all that off. If managing that is too annoying, every time you get a notification you can select to turn that type of notification off. I was also annoyed by this, but I’ve managed to get it to be pretty quite now.

I absolutely cannot understand this perspective. I open LinkedIn to add somebody to my network, contact somebody, or look for a job/hire somebody, and for those things it’s really good. I don’t make any LinkedIn content, I don’t consum

Then explain your solution for doing so, or show me a jurisdiction that has managed it and explain how. In reality no jurisdiction has ever achieved this, and for the reasons I have explained. Real people also manage to avoid their taxes al

This is just a reinvention of the global minimum corporate tax effort, and it would fail for exactly the same reasons. Except, with the added benefit of making corporate tax avoidance procedures more complicated, without actually accomplish

I own several companies that have a large pile of transfer pricing agreements, I’m very familiar with the nature and complexity of international tax laws. All corporate tax avoidance is, is incurring offshore expenses to shuffle profits off

They’re not unavoidable, they can just potentially come at an unacceptable cost. In the corporate tax instance, literally the only thing you need to implement corporate tax avoidance is the ability to incur a deductible expense to an offsho

The article takes an awfully long time to get to the point, but as far as I can tell it’s “this guy is religious and conservative and that’s bad”.

The possibility you’re not acknowledging is that the “spirit of the law” is trying to achieve something that cannot be done, or at least not done without massively modifying the way a system works to an unacceptable level. Law makers know t

If that’s straightforward then congratulations, you’ve failed your assessment for not having immutable log retention. They certainly wouldn’t let you keep it there, but if your SIEM was absolutely full of cardholder data, I imagine they’d r

Keeping secrets and other sensitive data out of your SIEM is a very important part of SIEM design. Depending on what you’re dealing with you might want to tokenize it, or redact it, but you absolutely don’t want to don’t want to just ingest

You illustrate a perfect example of simply not understanding what people want. Talkers get promoted because talkers have social skills, and companies are social systems, and social skills are required to advance through them. Social skills

Then blame the board imo. They define the objectives for the CEO, the incentives for achieving them, and the governance framework for governing their execution. If shareholders want this “short term thinking” that always gets brought up, th

This is just arguing over phrasing. It doesn’t matter what you’re trying to do, if you’re making YouTube videos, or music, or paintings, or cakes, or web apps, or cleaning diveways, your ability to succeed boils down to your ability to prov

The idea that success is earned through luck rather than merit is a firmly ideological position, regardless of the domain you’re talking about. If you succeeded via luck then that provides a better moral justification for the related ideolo

Overprescription of antibiotics and overuse of antibiotics in agriculture have both been known as public health risks for decades. So perhaps a little more prevention is the best cure could help address this.

All of the world’s most successful unions (bar associations, the APA, UAPD..) achieved the greatly increased remuneration by increasing the costs and barriers to entry as much as possible. It makes sense that any employer would want to lowe

I know for sure it’s in the US, but I’ve heard stories of people intentionally making a nuisance out of paying debts in cash in a lot of countries.

I always thought that in a lot of places you can choose to only accept whatever payment methods you like, but you have to accept a cash payment for a debt.

The EU directly writes tax legislation for countries all over the world with the use of their black and grey lists, which restrict companies in those jurisdictions from trading with the EU, or trading with companies that trade with the EU,

Stranded means you have no means for moving from where you are, or really no practical/acceptable means (you could swim off a deserted island for instance, but that probably wouldn't be considered a practical means of moving off t

You’re describing a plan for how to deal with stranded astronauts. If I’m on a road trip and my car breaks down at a gas station, I’m stranded. Even if there are other people and other cars at the gas station, and even if I still have acces

I used to play wow a lot, and it was fun… when I was young. When you have few responsibilities, and all of your friends also have few responsibilities you can invest a lot of time into leisure activities like this without giving much up. Th

I usually had some overlapping technical expertise with the candidates I was interviewing, so my approach was to prepare a line of questions relating to some obscure or esoteric technical issue I’d dealt with in the past. Usually I’d get to

People can change the behaviour for brief periods. But who they are day in day out is going to be pretty consistent. Telling people how I would want a good candidate to behave during an interview doesn’t help at all with candidate selection

by AmericanChopper 2y ago
Interviewing is by no means the perfect way to assess a candidate, but ultimately that’s what the purpose is. If I just tell candidates what I want them to say upfront, then why even bother with it at all? I want to assess what qualities th
