I have a feeling Australia will also get nukes reasonably soon. First nuke subs, then US bases with US nukes, then nuke subs with nukes. The Chinese pushed the Australians too far, they underestimated their obstinance. Australian attitudes

Bill Maher praises China for being a 'serious country' and contrasts it to the non-serious US. That is pretty mainstream. There seem to be many people, both left and right, who see China's actions on clamping down unfettered

It’s a back door federalization. Members will have to conform to additional TBD rules or put their tax allocation at risk.

It could be worse; they could have taken over via conquest (war).

I think there is a single entity that determines allocation. Details TBD. It’s a one liner in the following doc; https://www.oecd.org/tax/beps/statement-on-a-two-pillar-solu...

Perhaps I missed the sarcasm? Wouldn’t it be a terrible position to start over?

Once your safety net is gone you’ll be in a weakened position in further negotiations.

It seems that this pay-cut is for the benefit of the investors - who I doubt will appreciate it as much as he expects. He could take deferred payment, use it to negotiate a bigger stake.

In my observation the less people pay you the less they will respect you, not more, despite whatever favor you think you’re doing for them.

Maybe they can write books about their struggles in jail. I’m sure nothing bad could come from it.

I think people would be surprised how much of the innovation in dev div is directly attributable to retention projects. Basically, let me do this here or I will go to Facebook and do it. I think much of the open sourcing is due to people th

I got the impression that vscode (monaco) was green lit in order to retain certain people threatening to leave. MS is having retention and talent acquisition problems. Luckily there are enough people with enough clout to do these projects.

My only encounters with Ozy have been overly glowing unlabeled promotional articles on various up and coming tech entrepreneurs.

Does anyone else here think the coprocessor on the nvidia ampere looks a lot like the RC 18. If so that should post some crazy perf numbers.

For me it’s the process of writing them that is important. I normally throw out my notes not long after writing them.

I used to work in this space. It is incredibly easy to detect and counter. It just costs money. Amazons retail margins are too good to mess with. Customers are not leaving fast enough to make fixing it worth it. Every time you produce a mod

The not-a-visa visa (ESTA) is done to get around international visa waiver agreements and avoid retaliation. Now that the US has gotten away with it other countries are following suit.

Accents are also a class signal. Given that it’s easier to adjust your accent than to change people’s opinion on them, it’s probably worth maki g the effort to soften up the accent.

Labor ‘shortages’ are simply an excuse to import cheap labor. There exist talent that will take a discount on pay for the fringe benefit of immigrating. This in effect is a community subsidy to the company. This is one reason why lobbying i

Why not keep the scooters in the cars. Grab one on the way out, leave it behind when you get home. Request an uber with a scooter in it. There will have to be some leveling between cars but that’s surely easier than blanketing the city.
