Sorry, what is Apple suppose to be paying tax on, what are they doing in New Zealand that is suppose to be taxed?

Competing with Apple in what way, what is Apple actually doing in New Zealand that should be taxed? Apple doesn't do anything in New Zealand, if you want to by any Apple products you go to a third party store or you go online to a web site run in Australia.

All taxes from a company come from the consumers, where do you think the money comes from. I don't understand what taxes Apple is suppose to have paid? They don't have any manufacturing in New Zealand, they don't have any physical stores, there is an online store but its run in Australia. Any Apple products sold from physical stores are going to be third party who pay their own taxes. What am I missing?

It not perfect but perfect is the enemy of good, getting your news from Facebook is not good, but people clearly are. I fail to see how letting some political interest just swamp real fact with misinformation unchallenged is better, in theory people can go to other news sources of different political position to confirm facts but don't.

We need a standardised virtual machine that languages can be compiled to run on, that way the language of choice is more free to change. And Web browsers developers can deal with a simpler virtual machine language to translate.

But Ceres and Pluto are dwarf planets, how does that not make them planets? Adding moons that are large enough to be round as planets makes sense. But it also makes sense to differentiate between any old round body and one that is the major body within its orbit.
