The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Global Tax Deal

Section 1. Applicability of the Global Tax Deal. The Secretary of the Treasury and the Permanent Representative of the United States to the OECD shall notify the OECD that any commitments made by the prior administration on behalf of the United States with respect to the Global Tax Deal have no force or effect within the United States absent an act by the Congress adopting the relevant provisions of the Global Tax Deal. The Secretary of the Treasury and the United States Trade Representative shall take all additional necessary steps within their authority to otherwise implement the findings of this memorandum.

I believe it’s referring to this OECD initiative in the works for a global minimum corporate tax, where OECD countries share information across borders to determine if a company is paying at least 15% tax on global income. If not, then the company would have to pay a top-up tax to reach 15%.

The link has an automatic redirect which takes you to a different URL with tracking parameters baked in. So you need to follow the redirect in order to remove the tracking parameters.

Here’s an example (possible tracking parameters redacted). Random video from my feed.

Now you can remove everything after and including the question mark ?

At least I think it works, let me know if you don’t get a video talking about the Jakarta Method.

I’m bad at committing to reading clubs but I’d follow what gets written here about it

πfs is a revolutionary new file system that, instead of wasting space storing your data on your hard drive, stores your data in π! You’ll never run out of space again - π holds every file that could possibly exist! They said 100% compression was impossible? You’re looking at it!

It’s ridiculous how slowly that border operates since 2022. There are like 3 border control booths to handle thousands of people per day. On Christmas Eve the lines apparently took like 12 hours. And since the bridge crossing is under renovation, there’s no vehicle traffic, so people stand in the cold or heat.

If you’re worried about that then you can export your bitwarden passwords on a regular basis and back that up however you want

Finnish Engels isn’t real, he can’t hurt you

Look who we’ve got our Hanes on now

Thanks, this was well explained and informative

Here I think

Hopefully!

New tag line just dropped

Have you tried hypnosis?

I didn’t take you to be such a conservative, Vova

I really hope they open the border eventually. Was doing that trip on Allegro until they sold it off for parts.

“Externalities” are a capitalism thing because it externalizes the environment and many other things for the sake of perpetuating an abstract economy based on capital accumulation. An economy based on rational use of resources wouldn’t externalize those things in the first place.

Please accept all of our apologies for the way this was handled. A summary of the legal advice the kernel is operating under is

If your company is on the U.S. OFAC SDN lists, subject to an OFAC sanctions program, or owned/controlled by a company on the list, our ability to collaborate with you will be subject to restrictions, and you cannot be in the MAINTAINERS file.

Anyone who wishes to can query the list here:

https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/

In your specific case, the problem is your employer is on that list. If there’s been a mistake and your employer isn’t on the list, that’s the documentation Greg is looking for.

I would also like to thank you for all your past contributions and if you (or anyone else) would like an entry in the credit file, I’m happy to shepherd it for you if you send me what you’d like.

Again, we’re really sorry it’s come to this, but all of the Linux infrastructure and a lot of its maintainers are in the US and we can’t ignore the requirements of US law. We are hoping that this action alone will be sufficient to satisfy the US Treasury department in charge of sanctions and we won’t also have to remove any existing patches.

James Bottomley
