If so, that is amazing.
And if so, how do I turn a video I have into a simple/line version, to be able to then put a different 'skin' on it?
That being said, I have a tax theory. Forgetting about the political power required to do such a thing. Would it be possible to do away with all the taxes and replace them with a very low sales tax that gets applied to everything. e.g. Farmer buys a cow, pay 1% sales tax Milk wholesaler buys the milk to process, pay 1% sales tax Shop buys the milk to sell, pay 1% sales tax Shop buys labour to work in the shop (staff), pay 1% sales tax I buy milk to consume, pay 1% sales tax
More examples. Trade BitCoin, pay 1% sales tax Sell a house, pay 1% sales tax Trade shares, pay 1% sales tax
I accept some of this will be hard to police without the incentive for smaller businesses to claim the tax back.
I believe the key to making this work, is having no possible way to get exemptions. Doesn't matter if you don't make a profit, you still pay, doesn't matter if you are a organisation looking to on-sell or a consumer, every transaction pays and no way to offset this.
Finding the magic % would be difficult, but is the key part. Would this be possible? Where could I go on the inter webs to ask if such a scenario would even be possible
I am in Australia. But sounds like a good idea.

Some of the best HN comments can come late and never make it to the top.
I have a team of male devs, and for my last hire really wanted a female for a different perspective and help balance the team, however only received 1 not ideal female application.
At the end of the day, oldgeeks mean you are discriminating (filtering out the young), why should it not work on gender also? Its all just different levels of discrimination.
I for example have really consolidated servers in recent years. VMs are fantastic. But the result is that I have lots of Data Center space spare.
I would love to buy servers of similar power consumption but larger foot print, for less dollars than small ones. Assuming that a lot of limitations and cost go into shrinking current systems.
Or are there other issues like distance between components that then come into play?

HMRI Data & Evaluation Services are looking for people to fill two new roles.
You'll be working with an established team on an exciting new ground-breaking project. But honestly, look beyond the forgettable wording and realise that you'll be working with cutting-edge technology on a modern system to deliver real value to Medical Researchers.
For the right applicant we will consider a Australian timezone remote worker.

Though I assume docking fees would be above the $5500 a day.
> Indeed, according to Alphaliner, there are about 40 panamax container vessels currently seeking employment on the spot market against an unfavourable backdrop of oversupply. It said that charter rates remained “stuck at rock-bottom levels” – typically at about just $5,000-$5,500 a day
I am all for this, but what are the edge cases? I couldn't find it anywhere in that article.
I have always found Mom weird.
Must be better ways to spend $20,000
I work in the medical industry and can say I don't know any poor doctors. Even socialists. And maybe they are rich compared to their individual r&d in study, I am not saying I support $200k a year for drugs, but shouldn't this be part of a bigger question.
Then we will start fertilising them, then tweaking the seeds etc etc etc. And before long it will be just like anything else grown on the land.
