>If you read page 24, he said it's not unusual for people to be paid $100M. Do you expect him to remember all the people and amounts paid?

That's a lie. Do you really think Google would be paying someone $100M or something close to that and the CEO wouldn't hear of it?

Don't understand the downvotes. Cloudflare doesn't seem to have a problem hosting stuff like this, or even carders, and then ignoring abuse emails :')

Do you think it is acceptable to not pay VAT just because you know you'll get the money back? It is not legal, at least. Who are you to judge that? The government must know, because they are the ones to judge.

Of course I know what VAT is. I am a freelancer based in Europe. And I know if I'm paying SOMEONE for his services I also have to pay VAT, regardless of whether I'll get it back later or not. Why? Because I have to prove that VAT was spent in something related to my business (I can't have the VAT from my food returned, for example). It does not only apply to goods, it also applies to services.

That's exactly what I'm saying. They have busted them cold so they're going to be more careful about their fraud in the future by splitting the company in half.

Splitting a company in two so you can avoid paying taxes is not an attempt to deceive? Is it horrible when Apple uses Ireland to avoid taxes, but OK if KDE does it?

Say what you will but this is simply fraud. If they were selling stuff, they should've collected and paid the VAT for Dmitry. You are NOT a non-profit if you sell stuff.

There is absolutely no complexity about this. Didn't they see anything wrong with selling stuff without collecting the VAT from every transaction?

And the best part: they are now separating the sales from the foundation so they can avoid paying taxes. This is the kind of stuff HN abhors... ooops it's not Amazon, it's Krita! Then let's allow it!!!

Imgur profitable since day 1? Give me a break.

I mean now that they've created a social network and are redirecting all image links to their shitty webpage with the cat paw, ok, I believe it, but since day 1 when they were just hosting images? There's no way they were making money off that

mrkrabo | 8 years ago | on: AMD unveils Radeon RX Vega GPUs for high-end gaming PCs

>and way under performance targets.

Well... It's AMD. Did you really believe what they promised? How many times have they lied and played the hype game just to deliver garbage?

>AMD is keeping nvidia on their toes, and for nothing other than that, we should support them.

It's cheaper. Yep. But worse. Worse than Intel, worse than nVidia. And what's even worse is that, for example in GPUs, you can see they sell not-so-bad hardware coupled with horrible, abhorrent drivers. It's really pathetic. AMD never again, at least for me.
