  1. Re:Put up or shut up on Apple CEO Tim Cook on EU Apple Tax Case: 'Total Political Crap' (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You're missing the point. Of course Ireland doesn't want to screw up it's relationship with Apple. Yes Apple and Ireland are happy with the relationship, much the way the way a crook and a fence are happy with their relationship. Ireland is selling tax obligations at a steep discount to Apple for "other valuable considerations" the EU a part owner of those obligations has been sliced out of the deal and is now crying foul.

    The point here is that the EU is punishing _Ireland_ for giving Apple that deal, and requiring Ireland to make Apple pay back taxes.

    It requires some real mental contortions to paint grabbing 13 billion Euros from Apple as punishing Ireland. Ireland got what they wanted out of the deal already -- more tax revenue and jobs than they would have had otherwise. This is obviously an attempt to punish Apple.

    Seeking owed taxes from anyone will always be "an attempt to punish". The question is, is it a legitimate pursuit of justice.

    They may be wrong, but they are constitutional.

    If you think they are unconstitutional take it up with the guys that wrote it, because they were in existence when it was written.

    Already the city has been under pressure to increase its housing. A planning commissioner recently resigned in part out of frustration with the city’s anti-growth politics.

    That is tremendously unconstitutional.

    While I appreciate the point, it's no more unconstitutional than any other zoning ordnance or land use regulation.

    That said, it's a perfect demonstration of why you want government to have as little power as possible.

    You sound tired. When you get some rest, have another look and see that the article you cited was an op-ed. Opinion. Commentary.

    When they WSJ reports the news, there's a wage gap. When they give their feels, there isn't. Do you see a pattern here?

    So a word of advice to women in tech fields entering the workforce - stay away from companies that pander to you, you will be better off for it and have workers that treat you with real respect.

    I'd rather work for a place that pays well, I'll work there for a few decades and retire. Besides, I'm pretty skeptical that anyone can earn respect from brogrammers, and I question why anyone would even bother trying.

    Well I can see someone isn't going to be getting "Works well with others" on their performance review.

    I doubt that the NSA or other agency wants to do actions against one of the higher ups. They are designed to follow their commands, not to spy on them. If they hack the politicians, their practices will just be questioned far more likely. Of course, if there is a judicial order, they will act against them, as they should, but not without one.

    That's funny, when the NSA gained the ability to hack the entire U.S. they became the real power.
