How do they manage listing flooding or fraud?

I don't think "donate your voice" will ever work. They should incorporate it in a product and add a checkbox to share your voice/statistics to improve the system.

Well they would have to pay: - Import tax on all the products(IP, patenets, licenses etc) licensed/purchased from BMW Panama - Sales tax? So the US would get more customs and sales tax and less profit tax. Nevertheless the scheme you m

> If BMW sells a car in the US, where is the profit from that taxed? The profit made in US is taxed in the US. Isn't that so? Maybe I didn't understand it but the article is more about the import/customs tax. As far as I u

But they do pay tax in the US, don't they? I'm not familiar with any Luxembourg-like scheme employed by EU companies in US.

I think you are wrong: - I'm sure Amazon did its best to pay the lowest possible tax. In EU they are taxed on profit so if they woundn't make a profit(i.e. they would reinvest) they would not be taxed. - Amazon Europe is not Amazo

>> few early Trump suggestions that differed from the mainstream and made sense. That doesn't really make sense for America First...Why would US want its corporations taxed with 20% all over EU instead of 1% in Luxembourg? It wou

Why does it have to look so ugly? Is good design really that expensive?

>> they pay it in the country where most of the innovation that drives those profits occurs, i.e. the US. I believe that's quite unfair and wrong and pretty much BS. You ignore the fact that by allowing a "monster" comp

I fell Android is made for the purpose of selling google services. Last time I watched the Android keynote it was all about Google now and how much Google will know about you.

That wouldn't be smart unless they consider US a hostile country. As long as they benefit more from the relation with the US the spying stuff won't ban any US product.

Well, I guess Myspace and Yahoo would still be a thing...or new players would take their palce...so don't worry about that.

It's based on profit.

Well I don't see any issue repatriating taxed profits. After all they go to a different market to make a profit, right? The issue is when they don't pay their fair share of tax by using various tax evasion schemes more or less &

Ireland made some kind of special arrangements. For example Apple paid the full tax for products sold in Ireland but only aprox 1% or even less for the products sold in the rest of EU. It's like saying "come to Ireland" and

Well the issue is not the competition on tax, it's tax avoidance/evasion. You can't compete on tax with fiscal paradises that provide no infrastructure to operate a business. Most of the corporations within EU simply create

The Google device is NOT truly yours because you have to look for cracks if you want to root it or remove the Google stuff. The law may also be against you if you crack it. You are just a guest on your device...you are "licensed"

Yeah but what choice do you have? Apple is the lesser evil here.

I would rather use a feature phone than a "slow" smartphone. Responsiveness shouldn't really be a extra feature, at least not for the basic apps(contacts, notes etc).

Maybe you don't have apps that play mp3's? Technically it should be possible. See also this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5985729?tstart=0

It's basically a new language very similar with TS. Think of CoffeScript without the JS legacy, interop and compilation mess.

I'm sure the complexity is not what drives the price so high...if you would replace Vacheron Constantin with Foxconn you wouldn't sell it for $1000 regardless of its complexity. Many luxury brands place ridiculous prices on sp

This sounds quite disappointing to me: "WebAssembly cannot access the DOM except by calling into JavaScript. WebAssembly is meant to be used in conjunction with JavaScript."

Comparing an ipad/iphone with Microsoft Hololens makes no sense just like you it wouldn't make sense to compare it with Oculus.
