Companies employ several strategies to minimize or avoid paying taxes on their profits. Here are some of the most common methods:

Profit Shifting

One of the primary strategies used by multinational corporations is shifting profits to low-tax jurisdictions or tax havens. This is often done through:

Transfer Pricing: Companies manipulate the prices of goods and services traded between their subsidiaries to shift profits to low-tax countries. For example, a subsidiary in a high-tax country might pay inflated prices for goods or services from a subsidiary in a low-tax country, reducing taxable profits in the high-tax jurisdiction[1][2].

Intellectual Property Location: Companies strategically locate management of intellectual property (IP) in low-tax countries. They then charge high royalties to subsidiaries in high-tax countries for using this IP, effectively shifting profits[3].

AI-generated comments on LinkedIn often exhibit certain characteristics that make them recognizable. Here are some common traits observed in these comments:

Generic Praise

Many AI comments start with compliments that feel overly generic or formulaic, such as "Great post!" or "This is very insightful!" These phrases lack personal touch and specificity, making them seem insincere.

Summarization

AI comments frequently summarize the original post without adding new insights or perspectives. They often restate the main points rather than engaging with the content in a meaningful way.

Length and Structure

AI-generated comments tend to be longer and more structured than typical human responses. They may include multiple sentences that follow a predictable pattern, which can come off as robotic.

Notes on outsourcing tech

Why you should probably build your product with an in-house team

Someone could write a book on outsourcing software development - but essentially

• they have different incentives to you (get paid vs get product market fit)
• they are less motivated to solve any structural problems than you are
• if you don't know exactly what you want or don't express it clearly, you will get something else.
• this is true for not just product decisions, but tech too, e.g. which tech choices they make.
