Also, thanks to lobbying from me. If I buy tickets to something and later find out I can't attend, I want to be able to give or sell those tickets to a friend.
That's already the case you inbred hick.
Congratulations. This is the stupidest fucking comment I've read on HN all day.
Make each record one byte long.
Honestly, it shouldn't even be legal to eat anything other than broccoli and chicken breast. Everything is filled with fat and sugar and just drags our healthcare system down.
That website you linked to is bizarre. You claim they donate to "some not-that-great people" then link to website showing they donate to a lot of great people. Were you trying to undermine yourself or did you…
> A 14-year old has the maturity to run for office Literally everybody has the maturity to run for office because there's no maturity requirement to run for office.
The comment you're replying to proves that Apple gives them way more than a little.
The paid an effective tax rate of 25% over the last 9 months. Also, I fail to see how it would diminish the achievement even if they weren't paying taxes. $1 trillion is extraordinarily valuable. There is zero chance…
That doesn't make any sense. Anarchist and socialist are almost polar opposites.
Are you implying this shows that silicon valley is not a meritocracy?
$130M across four companies is nowhere near as severe a penalty as a $5B fine for one company. When you factor in that they've also extracted fines of $120M, $730M, $1B and $15B from Facebook, Microsoft, Intel and…
Android won't be free if this fine withstands appeal. No company is going to suffer billion dollars fines to give away free software. Google will have no choice but start charging OEMs to use android, and OEMs will have…
The EU is beyond corrupt. The European commission under its current leadership hasn't issued a fine on this scale to a single European company, but has somehow managed to extract billions of dollars from Google, Apple,…
If you add up all that money, most people could save $100+ per month. Add in an employer match for 401k and you're saving $200 per month. With 5% real return in the stock market, most people could have $400k saved up by…
With the money they use to go to bars, pay for netflix, eat out at restaurants, go to concerts, buy video games, etcetera etcetera. Almost every person who claims to have no money to invest actually has plenty of money;…
So you refused to do your job, demanded a free day off, threatened the life of a co-worker, and then blamed the company for your wife's miscarriage? You should count yourself lucky you got severance.
If companies were forced to pay, they'd just stop hiring. Read an economics textbook for me one time.
A clear statement that Google likes terrorism more than its investors.
