More to the point, why does the EU care if Ireland collects taxes from Apple? If it has to do with EU contributions, it's practically rounding error.
The whole purpose and point of the EU was to level the European playing field economically and prevent countries from fighting with one another economically (which in the past has not so indirectly lead to them fighting physically too). The EU's only concern here is that Ireland doesn't offer tax breaks to corporations and gain favourable treatment as a result.
Most EU rules are based around this common economic model.
Because you prefer the performance on the Windows machine and the downsides for the VM in which you do a few tasks? Not all of us *prefer* or even *can* run Linux as our primary base system.
That depends on what you want to achieve. A "good" provider for their family would like to run a successful business that makes money. In software if your popularity is zero so is your income. Your wife may not think you're very "good" for your idealistic choices of programming platform.
Also turning your comment around, popular likewise doesn't mean bad. And as per TFA quite clearly if you want to achieve 60fps whatever that boiler plate statement may imply you could just fine program for a web browser.
And? Just because "information" doesn't make it something magically GDPR non-compliant. The GDPR is quite specific in the "what" and far more importantly the "how" components of when it applies to your information.
1) Just about anyone can make a good steak at home for less than the steak restaurant.
Errr something which applies universally to any restaurant meals so why even mention it.
4) The ignorable sides are probably the ones you should be eating. At least for me, those are: broccoli, asparagus, green beans, cauliflower, etc.
Do you even live in America? The ignoreable sides are typically deep fried slop served with extra thick sauce. Even the salad will be covered with a million calorie dressing. All of that is also beside the point since the GP specifically talked about carbs vs protein, not "health".
No I should not. Given that DST is about bringing different groups together on a common time while changing their relationship with solar time. One department changing the clock is the exact opposite thing of a government defined timezone to suit an economic area. It's more akin to an employer offering flex time and a company deciding then to unilaterally work from 7 to 3 instead of 9 to 5.
Is not a good excuse for not treating Americans equally, especially given the time it was written where each state may as well have been its own country and the thought of living in one state while working in other or traveling through multiple states in an hour was a fantasy. As was keeping up with realtime information of what was happening in other states.
DST is a poor substitute for deregulation of work hours.
No it's not, it's a work around to a problem that can't be solved without creating some other major problems. You want to deregulate work hours, sounds good individually. The econonmy is not you, individually going home. The economy is an interconnected mass that relies heavily on localised coordination in order to minimise waste.
They need to sell their crap to the US way more than we need to buy it.
Oh ye of little knowledge. You think this is about cheap consumer products? You have no idea how dependent the USA has become on Chinese manufacturing. That is precisely why every USA based company is spitting chips at Trump. It is precisely why your farmers require a bail out package. The thing about countries that have dabbled in free or large economic trade is that they almost universally become dependent on it.
VAG, BMW, etc have literally tens of billions of money sitting waiting to convert their shit over if it becomes financially a good proposition to do it - they have tens of gigafactories - their ENTIRE EXPERTISE that has enabled them to remain viable car companies is based around production and logistics around it
That all sounds good until you look at the actual attempts at doing so. Porsche has recently shown quite well how difficult it actually is to retool a production line to all electric. They're pushing shit uphill despite their expertise.
It's always easy to point to people with big factories and say "Look how awesome" But the reality is that the major car companies are putting quite the effort into electrical cars and have not all that much to show for it.
With gargantuan subsidies from taxpayers to construct, run, insure and then decommission that just aren't counted by nuke fans.
Nice try, but France standardised reactor designs massivly driving down const of construction. Insurance is not as insane.... stupid... arse backwards.... I'm trying to find words for the American process of insuring any risk but really the english languge doesn't quite have the necessary expressiveness. Decommissioning in general is only an issue if you expect on doing so. Why would you be crazy enough to actually attempt to completely dismantle something on site other than because law makers want to make it expensive.
As for the tax payers paying.... GOOD. Guess what, not paying money has never in history worked out well for the environment. Call it socialism if you want but if you paid externalised costs for your energy you'd be begging for the tax rates and "socialism" of countries like France.
Uh, how can it be justice denied if he's guilty as sin?
It's justice denied because he self incriminated to remove himself from the process of justice. Plea bargains in the USA are horribly stacked in the favour of prosecutors. America has jails full of people who plead guilty for the sole purposes of not being dragged through the legal process all while being told when they do go through the process they will go away for life.
substandard code is routine due to a culture of passive-aggressive nonsense
There's no reason you need to accept substandard code due to a culture of being passive-aggressive. You can most definitely reject substandard code in a passive-aggressive way.
I think you worked at a place which suffers from substandard code due to a culture of accepting substandard code and you're just trying to apply a different label to it.
One person with high standards is another person's "dickish aspie."
One person's constructive criticism is another's micro-aggression, sexism, racism, or whatever negative-label du jour used as a club.
Err no, not at all. Each of the things in your examples are exclusive from each other. You can be a dick or not, just like you can have high standards or not. Likewise with constructive criticisms.
The fact you even lump "constructive criticism" together with "racism" should be a trigger for you to have a good hard look in the mirror.
I agree with you about 80%. Everyone deserves a *base* level of respect. People should be told their code fucking sucks, but they should not be told to feel bad about it.
But the *base* bit is what you're missing. Respect is a sliding scale. That scale slides depending on actions. *everyone* deserves to start with a base level of respect but their actions can quickly move them in both directions on that scale.

but shouldn’t the money go to EU coffers
The EU is not some overarching federal goverment. It's a join agreement of nations on rules. They don't act indepdently.
These days I mostly do it just to watch Slashdot heads explode.
Virtualbox is not a Type-1 Hypervisor which is what this article is about.
Because you prefer the performance on the Windows machine and the downsides for the VM in which you do a few tasks? Not all of us *prefer* or even *can* run Linux as our primary base system.
Assuming people will focus more if they only work 6 hours a day.
That is a safe assumption. A lot of people are quite mental disasters towards the end of their day.
I prefer a nation of laws over your "get with the times".
I think we should still beat women, keep black people as slaves and chop off the hands of bread thieves. So I fully agree, laws should never change.
I never said ignore the law. Change the damn law.
p.s. You're an idiot.

Clearly there's no need.

No.. Because the US Constitution CLEARLY states
Is not a good excuse for not treating Americans equally, especially given the time it was written where each state may as well have been its own country and the thought of living in one state while working in other or traveling through multiple states in an hour was a fantasy. As was keeping up with realtime information of what was happening in other states.
Time to get with the times.
12 is the middle of the day. Sun as near zenith as it can be.

I won't be so bold as to crow "Oh, they should have seen this coming."
Their competitor's product (Samsung wireless charger) has quite a decent fan in the bottom.

The problem is the federal government is NOT the proper place for such social experiments.

How about specific intent to distribute copyright law en mass.
He will find friends in jail among others who have been prosecuted for criminal copyright infringement.
