Tax individuals who make up the company. People choose to live in a place for many reasons besides taxes, so mass evasion is less likely. See how many choose to in CA? If you use money wisely and create a nice place to live, that's more important than take home pay to many.
For companies it's just business. They shift operations in whichever way is optimum for shareholders. But the process is wasteful and hurts economy / employment in general and in US in particular.
I mean, I get it that we eat too many twinkies sometimes, but we also don't work for Hollywood. Except on render farms. Jezz! What's wrong with you guys? You are not Huffington Post, you are fucking slashdot! How about a discussion on the best programming languages to naturally incorporate machine learning along with traditional computation constructs?
Sure this guy is a jackass and we can't wait for him to screw up so badly that he gets kicked out. But I am already very well informed about his progress in this direction from other sources. In fact I stopped watching CNN because hearing about one guy 24/7 is just not that interesting. You do realize you are just feeding the troll with all the free attention right? There must be other interesting and nerdy things happening in the world, that can be discussed in this unique place rather than echoing the rest of Internet.
Either work in an open floor plan where you can shoot quick questions and crack jokes with your neighbors. Or work from home and be fully focused and comfortable. Alternate on different days of week if you need a balance and use noise cancelling headphones for added focus at work. In office, you are not interracting with your coworkers and you are never as comfortable with furnature, lighting, views, food or termostat settings as in your own house. It's a waste of money in the age of high definition videoconferencing and collaborative editing software.
Market for gadgets to use for decades at the expense of convenience is too small for the likes of Apple. But I am sure it can be picked up by a niche company.
That's probably the current way to listen to music with Bluetooth headphones and get lots of other functionality. If that's too expensive, there are also Android Wear/Samsung devices with similar functions. Technology moves on and MP3 players without WiFi are pretty clunky in 2017.
Europeans are very good at taxing people, why the hang up here. Tax fossil fuels at sufficient level to bring down use to desired threshold. Let people keep using it in high value situations where it makes sense. Use the added revenue to cut back on some other taxes like VAT.
Same for United States. Tax gasoline, use the revenue to give people a break on sales taxes. Why is it so difficult and why do we inact paternalistic regulations instead?
Sort of. Civil rights act mandates employers with 15 or more employees to not discriminate based on sex. Courts have ruled that certain types of sexual harassment, or say porn posted on workspace walls, results in discrimination in practice. But compensation is limited to lost wages plus damages for intentional violations. But, as far as I know, there are no prison sentences for sexual harassment which does not also constitute sexual assult.
232.5. No employer may do any of the following: (a) Require, as a condition of employment, that an employee refrain from disclosing information about the employerâ(TM)s working conditions. (b) Require an employee to sign a waiver or other document that purports to deny the employee the right to disclose information about the employerâ(TM)s working conditions. (c) Discharge, formally discipline, or otherwise discriminate against an employee who discloses information about the employerâ(TM)s working conditions.
Trade secrets are excluded, so you can't criticize your employer's closed source database for using bubble sort. But else, disparage all you want and sue the fuck out of them if they retaliate.
If you did, Gnome -> Unity -> Gnome fiasco would have never happened, not to mention ads in local search. This rules out truly non-technical users who expect stability, but Ubuntu is still pretty good for a little more experienced users who know how to install and configure another desktop. Please at least stick to one thing for some time now and don't move to KDE or XWayland in the next release. And don't even think of Yahoo as default search in anything - put users before politics.
Well, you did have to pay for leaving, it's just your payment is spread out over two years. iPhone 7 with minimum usable flash is $749. OnePlus 5 is $479 (nice troll hehe) and there are many choices under $200. So you are paying for longer free software upgrades with cash and/or by foregoing hardware upgrades for longer time.
Did that iPhone cost you $200 off contract? If not, consider that you can buy an iPhone every 6 years or a Samsung phone every 2 years and have about the same upgrade experience, but use much newer hardware with Android.
You can't sign away your freedom in a contract Little Mermaid style. If a company doesn't want you to work for a competitor, it must keep providing you some benefit, such as an annual sum of money, in return for as long as such a contract lasts. And you are free to break the contract and forefeit the benefits.
If schools have to teach finances and cooking, they better be done with this before 18 years of age. Not everyone will go to college and those who will not need money management skills even more. We have 12 years of free and mandatory schooling. Lets allocate the time wisely and let people at least start training for a career afterwards.
We already have kids in mandatory school for 12 years till the age of 18. We ought to provide them with some usable employment skills by then. Say people live till the age of 80 these days. If you start working at 22, pay off college debt by 30 and retire at 65, that's only 40% of life as a productive, independent adult. This is not sustainable from either social resources or personal freedom point of view. Today, many drop out from high school and those who graduate do the same jobs they would do without any education at all. We got to get this fixed!
Second, if you get higher education, it should be optional and focused on your professional aspiration, be it coding, 3D printing, solar engineering or organic farming. Ideally we would focus on appreticeships that let students support themselves while earning more advanced skills. NASA and Lawrence labs can do the same for individuals with talents in pure science that can not be done in private sector.
And if you want to discover yourself, party in fraternities or play football, please do - but on your own time/dime and without burdening anyone else with overhead of your personal interests. Or maybe NFL will pay you to play or whatever.
If you encounter a criminal, losing couple of hundred bucks is the least of your concerns. You want to quickly give criminals enough value to persuade them to leave you and your harder to replace possessions alone. Just don't show large amounts of cash in public.
One or two year old computers/phones are still extremely capable devices
Not in my experience. Updates to applications and websites bloat system requirements even when one is not using any new features. And few cell phones have easily replaceable batteries.
On the other hand, I tend to drive a car for close to a decade and replacing it is much more of a hassle than swapping a phone. So I don't mind paying some more to have a pleasant experience for hour and a half commute per day.
Are "the rich" eating all your food, living in all your housing and seeing all your doctors or something? Because if not, you are not going to accomplish anything by reducing the number that the bank keeps for their account balance. Your actual problem is insufficient supply of food, housing and doctors. I would suggest that you look into removing obstacles to provision of more in your area. I bet there are hard working farmers, construction workers and physicians in Mexico that would be happy to help for what for them is good money.
During WWII people were miserable because all resources understandably went to war effort. After WWII, America was propserous because we were able to purchase a lot of raw materials from war-devasted Europe in exchange for domestic manufactured items like cars. We can still do that if we focus on knowledge and capital intensive goods such as genetic engineering and space exploration.
Phones drop, get ruined by water and are obsolete after a year. I don't mind spending money for a durable object, but I don't want to agonize about dangling my phone over the side of a boat to take photos. Will reconsider if and when there are inexpensive repairs and upgrades available.
Every time I try to use a Windows laptop that I keep for Steam/Oculus games, it needs to install updates, or has installed updates and lost my game progress, or asks me to adjust my privacy settings for Windows 10 whatever edition. With source, one can presumably build a non-nagging distro with working DirectX and live free of this crap?
So are the kids to have no independence till the age of 13? Or is the author of the bill conversly ready to let 10 year olds out of sight for a day with no means to reach them or check where they are? If technology was that bad, we would not have all adopted it. Now it's a job of each parent to manage its use. Just because there is a cell phone in kids name does not mean they get to use it for the whole evening or install whatever apps they want.

I thought sexual harassment was illegal

Constant churn is only good for development or hobby systems, otherwise use an LTS release supported for 5 years.
Did that iPhone cost you $200 off contract? If not, consider that you can buy an iPhone every 6 years or a Samsung phone every 2 years and have about the same upgrade experience, but use much newer hardware with Android.
As last election shows, our own cybersecurity is not great. Why don't we focus on that rather than medling in every regional conflict in the world?

How can a building heated by "special stoves that burn wood chips" possibly have lower emissions than one using heating oil ?
Think about what happens with atmosperic CO2 during production of wood chips.
