It's not retroactive! The law was not passed today! It was there from the beginning. It's just that Apple didn't care until today when they were told to pay. So suddenly they don't want to pay what they own because the &

I doubt the deal was in good faith. They have an army of lawyers so most likely they knew about this it but took the risk.

I think it has an adverse effect because Apple literally steals from EU citizens regardless being british, irish, spanish etc. How could can someone sympathise with their message which is not only insulting but also divisive ? I for sure wi

Most likely that's illegal too. However I'm not sure if they will pursue given the circumstances(UK out in a year or so).

SJI: What makes Apple so unique, is how much it pays in taxes... We began with a sweetheart deal that we really like...

How is that? Does US has sweetheart deals with EU companies? I highly doubt.

It was illegal under EU law but Apple and the Irish government didn't seem to care much. Now, that imaginative case doesn't make me cry because we talk about corporations with preferential deals that stifle competition. It's

I believe these cases should be judged on case by case basis. If the entity acts in bad faith I think it's fair to held it accountable. The laws should not be treated as a compiler. If you make billions profit in a country and pay no t

I think 'autonomous' is the more problematic term in the article because implies some kind of `intelligence`. AFAIU this `robot` doesn't do much to be considered intelligent in any way.

<< Instead of clicking, Mansoor sent the messages to Citizen Lab researchers. The story is great but I really doubt this. I'm wondering what made him suspect the link? Does he send all the links he receives to Citizen Lab?

Sometimes it may worth it. FFI was never fun regardless the host language except perhaps C++ -> C.

The reflection is slow indeed but most of the time you can use caching to improve it(at least that was my case). I like Go a lot but I must admit that some features would make my life easier and perhaps the language more expressive too(i.e.

Why? JS is crap compared to Swift. There are various technologies that allow you to do that anyway(i.e nativeScript)

Last time I checked(about 6 -7 months ago) swagger was quite messy. I ended-up with Hyper-Schema which proved simpler and better thought out.

People use mobile more than desktop on social apps so it makes a lot of sense. Eventually there will be a web/desktop version as well(if it catches on). Shortly said mobile web sucks so a native app is better than a broken website.

That's different than reading randomly-sampled tweets or clickbait headlines all day long, is it? At FB(AFAIU) they have people doing just that which makes sense(to reduce costs) but it's a miserable job regardless the scope(i.e.

The titles available on Netflix(at least in the EU/UK) are laughable. I have both Netflix and Amazon prime(which has pretty much the same content).

>>The same could be said, and was said for Go compared to Java C#, etc just a few years ago. And it probably can still be said, as older languages have much more stable, richer ecosystems, support, tooling, and use bases. I don't
