Seems you misunderstood their comment. They took time off but never logged it in the system. HR asked them to log the days they took off, they said sure but I also get to log my overtime and get paid for those then.
How do you figure? Technology roles are well understood to be exempt, no? Don't get me wrong, I think it's stupid and should be changed, but it is what it is (for now).
That’s how I interpreted “buttons, external links, or calls to action that _direct_ users to purchasing mechanisms” (emphasis line): that the user will be directed to an external payment mechanism outside the app.
The ruling is that Apple cannot forbid linking to other payment methods _in addition to_ IAP, not _instead of_. Apple can still require that IAP must be one of the options.
> When you do your taxes, don't you with your accountant try to pay as little as possible?
As a salary-earning individual, there's very little you can do to actually reduce your taxes by a meaningful amount, let alone down to zero like these corporations can.
Then why not start a company if the grass is sooo much greener on other side.
It's true you can claim a lot as expense and register zero profits but only when you really don't have money.
People forget, Amazon gets its money from stock market - this money is someone's pension funds and savings, they are investing because people believe Amazon will one day then profit, they don't care about these losses.
So what's the alternative? Prevent people from investing into profitable things?
If you actually lose money on a per unit basis at massive scale, then either you're doing it because you've got a long term plan that's going to make much more back and access to investment, or you should stop...
The trickier bit with revenue taxes is that businesses operating in ideally competitive markets naturally have very small margins over the long term anyway, so they (and their consumers) are penalised more than the oligopolies
The revamped Model S and Model X still have big central touchscreens (now in a landscape orientation, rather than the previous portrait-oriented screen), but Tesla went even further by eliminating the turn-signal and gear-selector stalks. Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the car will simply "guess" which way the driver wants to go based on sensor data and navigation maps. Tesla is expected to include backup controls as well, leaving drivers to use the touchscreen for selecting drive, and steering-wheel controls for turn signals.
