Please read the source: “ The Court of Auditors said receipts from all three taxes amounted to an ***extra*** 16bn euros in 2013.” So, the problem is with estimates only, not with lower collected tax. And France’s total budget (e.g. taxable income/ expenses) is ~1.3 trillion eur, so those underestimated 14 billions is nothing, actually.
To be fair, this would work more effectively if all countries implement such policies, so ultra rich wouldn’t be able to flee to better tax countries. I think...

Well, 16 billions are still more than 0 billions.

React Native 0.60.4+ with Web3.js 1.2.0+
Last year I had wasted a lot of time trying to get Web3.js working on React Native. Tried everything, got it working, but with unsatisfactory results. Then had dropped it until better times without all that mess of outdated information, modules and lacking documentation.
One year later, a lot of things have improved from React Native and Web3.js side, as an example, crashes due to no internet connection were resolved, better RN CLI with configuration, etc. and here’s simple 3 step process to g...

The Utter Uselessness of (some) Tech Tests
Case #1“Do those Javascript tests, so they would pass.”
OK, nothing wrong with those, except that repository is 4 years old and I don;t intend to build different environment just for those few. So, I rewrote entire repository for everything latest versions, fixed tests, sent back. Answer:
“You didn’t pass the tests.” Haha, yeah, just think about it instead of being a mere corporate robot.
Case #2“Make a shopping cart.”
OK, at the time was working with my own project, so swapped together my projec...

Universal Basic Share
First article on this idea can be found here.
Advantages of Universal Basic Income:Increased happiness. SourceLikely a lot more, but this one should be enough. When government’s goal is so called “full employment”, they think too statically, which is proven by their inability to answer why they need it.
Problems with Universal Basic Income:As with any benefits, they are lagging the economy. As for another similar example, productivity grows, wages — not. So, people help to automate things, but...February 8, 2019
Two states of mind
More about it on introduction to life’s economics.
Two states of mind:
in-gameout-of-gameAdvantages of in-game — you work on defined goals, like robot, disadvantages — you may be invested too much in your game and not notice big picture changes or trends (Altavista, Lycos, MySpace, etc.).
Advantages of out-game — you see bigger picture, often just of emerging stages. Disadvantages — you may be lost n a sea of information and lots of diverse globally emerging ideas, also it will be difficult to p...
SEO and CSR/ SSR
I have read on numerous articles about Javascript client side rendered apps are perfectly fine for search engines, but reality is a way different. I believe that words aren’t reality and until you have seen something in game, you actually don’t know much about it.
Trying to know something from words is like believing that one who knows what to talk is knowing about what he talks:

How I built popular random quotes API as one of my first new tech career projects
OK, I;m with technology business way way longer, since the times when I used Google’s Pagerank algo for profit, and turning simple 200 USD automation script into more than few thousands of websites.
Of course, one day, out of hating Wordpress, I thought, why not to try everything myself. I’ve done a lot of things, why not this challenge? So, at first it was pretty hard, I’m no techie, but — trust the process, after some time, after two programming languages to be exact, I was able to comprehen...
