This is one of those things that sounds great on paper but in practice basically kills any chance of a startup environment in the country. Why would a startup wish to grow in such a nation if there are other places where the ability to buy

>What Facebook (or for that matter Google) does is not competition. Why not? Being the first one in and the best at what you do is still competition. Most industries don't get disrupted by a competitor until there is truly some valu

So unfair competitive advantage to the local companies? If it were so easy I wonder why they don't do this already. Additionally what about services or products that don't exist or haven't had time to be replicated in one&#x2

So you disincentivize using any services in countries other than the one your subsidiary is in? They would have to be significantly better than other options to be worth not being able to deduct those costs.

No not really. Have you gone to Senior House? There are plenty of communist ideals all over the walls. I'm sure plenty of Hilary supporters though I haven't been there this recent election

How would you tax Apple? Realistically basically all taxes on corporations simply result in added cost the consumer. You may think you're taxing Apple but you're really just taxing the consumer extra. As long as all their competit

If users heard there were better results elsewhere though, they would switch from Google. However, it is more likely that by doing this Google prevents itself from being taken over by a competitor that creates this feature.

What about NJ? It's not really a city but it's the densest state and they could pick a location close to NYC. I read somewhere they want the place to be immigrant-friendly and NJ is that.

When the users buy into the ICOs don't they send ETH or Bitcoin thus giving the founders a currency which is far more stable and less likely to tank?

The main problem imo is the amount of money they are getting. You need to stay a little hungry to be motivated to build a great product. They basically have "FU" money off the bat and no legal obligation to the token buyers from w

It could be helpful too. If a government is being wasteful with its money and it doesn't result in more valuable services, then another area that is doing just as good of a job with lower taxes competes for that citizen. It's one

Interesting but complex. I could imagine there are a lot of issues on how to express your intent with the data. Some uses of data might be ancillary to the direct goal of the user but still unexpectedly useful. Interesting from the article:

It could also devastate small companies at an early stage which need to dedicate resources to get into compliance rather than building their product. It might hurt the bad players but it really depends on how readable the text will be to th

Im guessing they would force the company to make tracking not on by default but rather opt-in (lol)? But what's confusing is - if you clearly state how the data will be used upfront, do you need to offer an opt-out? What if your servic

That's strange - so it doesn't protect the data EU citizens give out when using free services?

It may be doable for big companies but does this mean startups will be more likely to delay entry to the EU market?

Instagram was zero revenue when bought by Facebook. And Siri when acquired by Apple. I wouldn't describe it as a hobby.

You can't delete certain apps on an iPhone and they remain on the first page of your phone. This means for it to be worth it to download a competitor it has to be a big advantage. I see it as the same thing.

I don't think the US needs more taxes - just the opposite. But those we have should be evenly enforced.

This is typically the case because the taxes tend to be high in such countries - thus the company compensates by offering a lower salary.

Sure, honest answer. First off, saying 70% nurses are women does not indicate discrimination. Plenty of the jobs I've applied for as a woman are small startups with over 70% men but I've never thought that this was due to discrimi
