  1. Really? Most of the results come from Trump himself, whether as a result of reporting on things he's done or his constant stream of self congratulating verbal diarrhea. The man is a fucking crybaby attention seeking fool and this latest moan just confirms it as if it needed confirming.

    The thing with Trump is that it's clearly obvious that he's off his nut and he got elected as president so there you go.

    Errr, just so we're all on the same page, not every company has the resources to send a rejection boilerplate to every single person that applies for a job. Sorry, that's not considered a lack of respect. Contacting you, booking an interview and then forgetting about it - on both sides - yes.

    Yes they fucking do. Its called email and once you've put all the address' in the bcc box you're done.

    And when it does, the, "last in, first out" rule will kick in.

    You should always make major life choices based on vague, fearful assumptions about the behavior of people you have never met.

    That is generally how it works though. I think you'll get further in life making assumptions that everything isn't going to always benefit you.

    is a vast overestimate of the sign's importance. It's nothing more than a bloody advertisement, and we need fewer ads in our life, not more.

    TFA even says its going into storage if someone wants ot, surely if it was a real item of cultural significance he could do a crowdfund to buy it and display it wherever, maybe donate it the lourve or something. He doesn't seem interested in the notion he might be able to buy it himself. But then again as you say, it's an advert so there are probably rules about that sort of thing.

  10. Usually any headline ending with a question mark the answer is no, nut in this case I'd say, probably.

  13. It really isn't; the difference should be pretty obvious unless you can't differentiate between the value you are willing to pay and more common or widely accepted definitions.

    My value and your value for a thing might be different and that value might change over time but if money is handed over in exchange for a thing then a value has been agreed.

  14. The whole point of incorporation is to make it so the individuals in the corporation are not liable for this sort of thing. As long as the blame can be spread, no one is to blame.

    Here's the problem with that: my house is worth probably less then apple headquarters. I don't want somebody to show up and buy it out from under me against my will at any reasonable price. My house is not for sale: why should it be for sale at all times just for a tax evaluation?

    Yeah but you can't really say it's only worth three dollars but its not for sale, it's the reasonable price bit. Also what kind of house do you live in if you think its only 'probably' worth less than apple HQ?

  16. It would be funny to have the local municipality come in and take the property though eminent domain using Apple's valuation. I am sure the county or state could use the extra office space.

    They could be extra generous and give apple $400 so they can replace with two!

  17. Companies and people have a sole duty to lower there tax bill as much as possible. If it isn't written in law do not give Uncle Sam anymore than the law says.

    Yeah, you're going to need to save all that money to pay the toll for every road you need to use. Extend your medical insurance to cover police and fire, pay the electric, water, gas and every other service that relies on public utilities etc etc. But if people did pay what the law says things would mostly be fine but when they lie, cheat and steal to reduce that bill, especially when you're literally one of the richest companies in the world and are doing nothing but hoarding wealth. Also I think you need to be aware of what sole means.

  18. How much you pay doesn't equal it's value.

    That's exactly what it equals!

  19. Oh, you mean people who's best interests are in generating as much tax as possible?

    The public?

    So the assessors who collect taxes are able to determine the value w/o any process to appeal if they are wrong? I don't think so. The truth is someplace between $200 and $1B, the question is where that is.

    Apple has their view, the tax collector theirs and what the poster was asking for was independent analysis of the building's true worth for the purposes of the property taxes.

    You can barely get a half decent shed for $200 yet you think that might be a reasonable valuation for a whole fucking campus while google says the median for just a house in san francisco is $1.6million.?

  21. To be fair, I don't trust either side. Show me the valuation. Why is it worth $1Bn, or $200?

    Keep offering them money until they give you the keys. My bet is you'll be a lot closer to a billion, probably significantly over. I bet they didn't pay less than $200 for a bin that has the apple logo on it.

  22. I know a guy who got a dog and called it a company mascot and had his company pay for all the pet supplies. People will try anything, it doesn't make it right.

    Yeah but this is more like your mate having a dog then claiming its a hamster when it comes time to pay the vet bills.
