I don't know of such a thing, but if it exists I don't think it should start with the assumption that Apple "got out" of paying taxes in Ireland. The EU claims taxes are owed to Ireland. Ireland says no taxes are owed. A

Become a contractor. If you go this route, be aware an additional ~1/8 your income will be confiscated as taxes. Worth it for the flexibility, IMO.

Aussies, do you not have Vidalia or Walla Walla onions at the store? IMO there's not much need for a low-cry onion with those old varieties around.

Good. Leave your kinks and perversions in your bedroom, the rest of society doesn't want to deal with it.

Institutions will abuse their power to acquire more, and rent-seek when they have acquired it.

Congrats. Vehicle and flight profile are similar to SpaceX Grasshopper which flew in 2012-2013, though Grasshopper burned kerosene.

Contract SWE gigs on the US west coast. I have a guy at $175, a full stack dev who does fantastic work, but he's booked out a year in advance and it's like pulling teeth to get him to accept more than 5-10 hours a week. "Can

Men can be women is probably wrong, so don't cut your dick off. Hydrogen cars aren't going to happen (for cost and efficiency reasons) so double down on electric or keep burning petroleum. Disarming civilians enables their slaught

We can store the fuel pellets in a crash can during transit. That way if the rocket blows up nothing hot gets dispersed. But even without a crash can, it's of less concern to public health than the radioisotopes in coal.

Worked fine for me (not a plant expert) Initially, I was a bit confused on all the "False" fields in a column. Not a big deal but I would have absorbed the info faster if things were broken up into sections somehow.

Seems doubtful that the best path forward for CompSci education involves the traditional classroom model. I don't know a single good developer who chose their career because of--or had a learning breakthrough in--a high school course.

Could be done a lot earlier than the author's proposal of undergrad/law school. Start in elementary school. Give each student $10/week. But before you hand them the money, each classroom elects a mayor who decides how to tax
