Well from peer comments and examples it seems like the difficulty is that a car company will have to pay VAT on the full value of the car if it is imported, but only end up in net paying VAT on the portion of value that they added if they d

(I dont have a euro key so I'm going to use dollars but the same numbers) Ok so the chain for producing the car in the US is: 1 buy $5000 worth of steel in the US, inclusive of sales tax (lets suppose sales tax and VAT are the same pct

Unless I missed something, this is the entire explanation of why the VAT isn't like a tariff: >>>VATs are border-adjusted, meaning they rebate tax on exports and impose tax on imports. Despite the appearance of subsidizing exp

Nope suppose they do need to be there and they arent listening because they're sending text messages and then when they are asked for their opinion they are lost because they weren't listening. This is the norm for zoom meetings.

How do you get people to stop looking at their fucking phones during zoom meetings? Sure if we had a magic perfect management fairy that could sprinkle perfect management skills on the managers maybe people would be better at working remot

Based on these results, why would you use anything but lz4_fast ? Are there other dimensions that might be important for a particular use case so a different algo may be best? Ones I can think of might be multi threaded or SIMD friendline

Can we at least agree that NGOs like Chelsea Clinton's Difficult to Verify Third World Orphan Feeding Service should be audited? The argument from the right, which I have not seen anyone on the left address directly, is that a very lar

Literally the only reason you need a computer less than 10 years old for day to day tasks is to keep up with the layers of javascript that are larded onto lots of websites. It's sad. Edit: oh and electron apps. Sweet lord, shouldnt w

Are they paying the lawyers with government money? I'm seriously asking. Why is the government paying 10s of millions of dollars/year to the New York Times? How can they still claim to be a news organization without having disc

Please just entertain a hypothetical: If it turns out that the FAA was hiring much more slowly than it needed to be because it was unable to reach its DEI goals, can we all agree that we should stop doing DEI for important things?

If they meant for the "likely" to be interpreted as "more likely" then the third answer would be "neither one" not "not enough information." And then the example is more like a trick question than a

Yeah, that was the point of the toddler example. It's very obvious the toddler covered in chocolate likely stole the fudge. My question is how does this training to remove bias not also make it worse at identifying toddler fudge thie

I can't help but worry that our AI death robots are going to be hamstrung against chinese AI death robots because ours won't take prior probabilities into account.

I don't understand this wokery-as-politeness argument. Politeness obviously has a place, but if you're trying to solve real social problems while also being unable to discuss the actual problem, because speaking frankly about it

So the take away is that we had all the resources we needed, lots of money for firefighters and plenty of water in reservoirs. So either the situation is impossible and no plausible human effort could have saved these neighborhoods, or the

What about babies and children? What about enfeebled old people? Clearly some people can't take care of themselves. Presumably you don't think babies and alzheimers patients should be left to roam free. Why are severely mental

I really don't understand society's attitudes here. Why is it more humane to give a psychotic person agency, resulting in them living in filth like an animal, dangerous to themselves and others, than to commit them to a mental ho

Surely there's a way to generate code by manipulating an AST structure? Is there some reason this can't be done in Zig or is it just that no one has bothered? Doing it this way is more verbose but sidesteps all hygiene issues.

Sure that's great. There was clearly plagiarism. But the topic at hand is a partisan dispute about a cartoonist quitting because she can't run an anti-trump cartoon and you're saying the wapo is terrible because it is both-
