It also means that foreign goverments can tax income at 19% at no further cost to the corporation, making it politically simple to raise taxes to that level.
That helps create a level playing field - if every government taxed income at 19%, there'd be no further incentive for US corporations to pretend their income is earned abroad. It also means that foreign companies can't offer "incentives" to move business overseas, as taxing income below 19% doesn't reduce the business's tax.

There's a huge side effect of the Foreign Tax Credit. Because foreign taxes are completely deductible, there's no incentive for payers of foreign taxes to try to minimize the tax paid. It effectively means that it's up to the IRS to police foreign tax deductions to make sure corporations (and personal taxpayers) are paying only as much foreign tax as they have to. Every dollar in foreign tax collected is a dollar less for the Federal Treasury.

No need for it to be passive. A little wireless charger would do nicely, and we already have pressure monitors in car tires.

It hardly matters what happened to the other 11 balls if they knew which ball was 2lbs under and kept using that ball whenever it mattered.

A "tick" is how much exactly? Why such imprecise reporting?

If you're Republican-oriented, tired of having every scandal called back to Watergate, you can always use the alternate name: "BallGhazi"

How do you measure your balls?
            If they stick a pin into the football to measure the pressure, it'll let out a little air each time.
            If they measure at a lower temperature than when the ball was inflated, they'll get a lower pressure.

How do you blow up your balls?
          Compressing air raises the temperature, so putting recently-compressed air, such as running a pump output directly into the football, will inflate with hot air. The pressure will decrease as the gas cools.
            If you bubble the compressed air through a water tank before running it into the football, you can put water vapor into the football, and if the vapor condenses inside the ball as the gas cools, the pressure will further decrease because water vapor of much less dense than liquid water.
            If you inflate from an storage tank at hight pressure and ambient temperature, you can get the opposite effect, because expanding the gas inside the football will cool the gas, making the pressure increase as the gas warms back to ambient.
            If you inflate with hydrogen, you make them just a smidge lighter, but also use a gas that'll diffuse through the rubber and leather a little faster.

How do you treat your balls?
            If you rub your balls, as for roughing up the surface, the fricton will warm the balls, temporarily raising the pressure at the time of inflation and initial pressure checks.
            If you ream out the inflation hole, you can make it gape open a little, leaking air at a slow rate.
            If you keep your balls warm before each pressure check, you can more easily pass the test, then let them cool down for the play.

So, if you fill your balls all hot and sweaty, you can pass the tests and have a nice soft balls to play with later. If the NFL doesn't update their standards, soon all the teams will figure this out. To avoid this, they should be inflating their balls from a big tank at ambient temperature and relatively low pressure.

If the NFL specifies the gas mix, a minimum tank size and maximum tank pressure there won't be such ability to cheat.

I thought it was IEFBR14 running on an RTL emulation of an IBM 360/91.

No, you read the inaccurate story. RTFA and you will be demisinformed.

Software could rate limit side-road detours, giving priority to (1) law-abiding drivers who follow speed limit regulations and come to a full-stop at stop signs or (2) drivers who pay a premium for the application or (3) click on high-value advertising. They could (4) abstain from sending drivers onto side-road detours during the specific times and areas that children are travelling to/from school (even (5) detecting this by use of commonly available cellphones for school-age children). Traffic that's at a complete standstill might be (6) targeted for high-value advertising, or even (7) offer a detour for a fee. Detours could be prioritized based on carbon or other pollution emissions - depending on whether one prefers (8) to incentivize low-carbon vehicles or (9) temporarily reduce emissions on those "spare the air days" by getting high-pollution vehicles to their destination more quickly.

If Google/Waze failed to create these modifications, they could be imposed by local or state legislation, and/or agreed to by a standards working group to encourage universal compliance. Legislators could even use "virtual HOT lanes" as funding sources, raising "sorely needed funding for high speed rail" or "community improvement projects."

Now who's being evil?

This may be fundamental to the variable pricing model. It takes time to negotiate a price, and as the well-known adage goes, t=$.

Points for Kerouacian. On the Road sure did ramble (chatter, babble, prattle, prate, blather, jabber, twitter, maunder).

BUT! Sony reportedly considers the leaked data itself worthy of uploading phony torrents.

It might be feasible to use bone granules as already used in bone grafts, along with some kind of glue matrix to hold it in place. What's not obvious is the choice of material for the glue matrix that is biocompatible with bone healing and providing sufficient material strength until replaced wih new bone growth. My understanding of the current state of the art involves splinting until the bone granules heal together, or, for example, using these bone granules in jawbone to build up bone prior to installing dental implants after the bone graft heals - in these cases, the bone isn't structurally sound until it heals. I personally had a surgeon graft bone material from my hip into my knee to repair a tibia plateau fracture, but that also included two three-inch screws to hold everything in place - and it took quite some time before the bone was full strength.

It'll be a long time before 3D printers place individual atoms/molecules in place to build material that's a genetic match while printing bone structure.

That's the original Y2K problem.

Such as, for example, upstream developers who might sometimes use libbfd in the process of opening a crash binary submitted in a bug report - so no need to worry about remote code execution, local code execution will do just fine.

$500 million total would fully fund the B612 / Sentinel proposal. I'm not at all sure how far they're getting on private donations to fund it so far - but I'd like to know.
