More taxes

LOL you think they wouldn’t have already done that if they could? Explain to me how you think that’d be the result of making offshore labour more expensive 🤣🤣🤣

Yes, but not anti temporary-migrant-workers.

For the record, I agree with more taxes. I’m ok with you replying more taxes.

But we need new laws in addition to new taxes, that prevent companies from splitting up their companies (money/employees) into distinct legal entities based on geographical location. Good luck with that, though.

And how do you enforce the taxes?

The problem i was alluding to was shell companies, subsidiaries, and all the existing popular tax avoiding strategies used by big companies (that’d also be used for avoiding counting those employees)

The people doing the demonizing of workers are the ones praising the business owners. Although sometime they’re also business owners themselves, I was more talking about financial reporters, TV personalities, and bootlickers.

But, yes.

I think that companies shouldn’t be allowed to change wage/salary based on locale.

But I have no idea how that could be enforced.

Bleeding our economy has always been celebrated, and the people who are being bled are always demonized.

PeriodicallyPedantic , to LinkedinLunatics in Saying the quiet part out loud, with pride

It’s wild that people celebrate folks sending jobs overseas as “smart business people”, but then demonize workers asking for wages to keep to with inflation as “greedy”.

PeriodicallyPedantic OP , to Ask Science in how does lucky imaging in astrophotography work?

I read that article, and it’s very good! But it didn’t explain how detect atmospheric blurring, since it’s not actually blurring, it’s distortion. To quote that article

even if the sharpest image is very clear, it may still be distorted in varying degrees around the frame So you can’t just score the frames by sharpness.

Assuming all images are compared to a reference shot as you suggested, how is the reference shot selected?

I’ve actually got my own ideas about how it could be done, but this is coming from a background in computer science, not from astronomy, so I don’t trust my solution.

PeriodicallyPedantic OP , to Ask Science in what is the mass of a cloud?

The question is a work in progress 😉 You don’t always know what you really want to ask until you start a discussion.

PeriodicallyPedantic OP , to Ask Science in what is the mass of a cloud?

I’m mostly interested in how much water is in a cloud. The mass of air is also interesting, but it isn’t what I was originally thinking when I asked

PeriodicallyPedantic OP , to Ask Science in what is the mass of a cloud?

That’s true. I’m ok with either option though, the mass of the condensed water, or the total mass of water in the volume of the cloud.

PeriodicallyPedantic OP , to Ask Science in what is the mass of a cloud?

Oh shit good question. I’m gonna say no because I was really trying to ask about how much ice/water/dust is involved, but I’m also curious about the air.
