> It always starts with a LinkedIn message from an Apple recruiter.
> 4 years ago, that was the case when I was in my final year of university. It was such a thrill to be approached and tremendously flattered my ego to be thought of as worthy enough to work at the fruit company. I had just shipped my first iOS App.

> The ultimate goal of the big corporate tax dodgers is what tax lawyer Edward D. Kleinbard calls “stateless income”—siphoning profits out of high-tax countries in Europe, Japan and North America and moving them around under various tax treaties until they are not subject to any tax because they are being reported in a nonexistent country called Nowhere.

*** How The Smile Came To Paris (Briefly) ***
<http://www.spectator.co.uk/books/9395392/how-the-smile-came-to-paris-briefly/>
Mary Beard, The Spectator

> In 1787 critics of the Paris Salon were scandalised by a painting exhibited by Mme Vigée Le Brun. The subject was conventional enough: a self-portrait of the artist cradling her small daughter. The problem was that Vigée Le Brun was depicted smiling. You could even see her teeth. This was, as one critic put it, ‘an affectation which artists, connoisseurs and people of good taste are unanimous in condemning’.

Patrick Anderson, Washington Post

> In “Irene,” violence ups the ante, and tough-minded writing carries the day.
