Tesla paid no federal income taxes while paying executives $2.5 billion over five years |

In case you need another reason to shout quot tax the rich quot from the rooftops it s here and it s going to make you angry A study found that major US companies paid their top five executives more than they paid in federal income taxes between and the Guardian reports The findings which come from The Institute for Policy Studies and Americans for Tax Fairness are even less shocking when you learn the worst offender Tesla Elon Musk s company earned billion during those five years and gave its executives billion Despite that Tesla not only didn t pay any federal taxes but it received million in refunds from the government Musk himself is the second richest person in the world with Forbes reporting he had a net worth of billion at the start of March Tesla is one of companies that paid less federal income tax than they paid their top five executives during that period In total the well deserving and not at all greedy execs of these companies raked in billion over these years while cumulatively those same companies received billion back from the government Eighteen of these businesses reported net profits over the five years but didn t pay a cent of federal income tax All but one got refunds The study lists other notable companies like T Mobile Netflix Ford Motor and Match Group alongside Tesla T Mobile made billion paid executives million and received million in refunds The mobile provider has spent an incredible amount of money on lobbying Congress for tax breaks spending million in alone Netflix actually did pay some taxes but the million was just percent of its billion in earnings ーand just over a third of what it paid those top five executives The statutory rate for federal income tax is percent so yeah feel free to scream This article originally appeared on Engadget at |

From mono to mainstream: 20 years of Bluetooth audio |
https://www.engadget.com/from-mono-to-mainstream-20-years-of-bluetooth-audio-153031600.html?src=rss

When you think about the history of Bluetooth and specifically about audio you really have to go back to the mid to late s Chuck Sabin is a Bluetooth expert As a senior director at Bluetooth Special Interest Group SIG he oversees market research and planning as well as business development He s also leading the charge for emerging uses of Bluetooth like Auracast broadcast audio In other words he s an excellent person to speak to about how far Bluetooth has come ーfrom the days of mono headsets solely used for voice communication to today s devices capable of streaming lossless quality music In the mid s mobile phones were starting to become a thing and of course so were regulations about hands free use of them in cars Sabin previously worked in the cellular industry and he remembers how costly and intrusive the early hand free systems were in vehicles Bluetooth originated from cell phone companies working together to cut the cord to headphones since using those not yet wireless audio accessories in the car was cumbersome One of the first mobile phones with Bluetooth was from Ericsson in the late s although an updated model didn t make it to consumers until That same year the IBM ThinkPad A became the first laptop with Bluetooth built in At that time the primary intent of the short range radio technology was for voice calls The Bose Bluetooth Headset Series Bose You had a lot of people who ended up with these mono headsets and boom mics he explained You know the people we all probably made fun of ーat least once Most of these things were massive and some had obnoxious blinking lights They re definitely a far cry from the increasingly inconspicuous wireless earbuds available now Bluetooth as a specification continued to evolve with companies leveraging it for music and streaming audio To facilitate music listening there had to be faster communication between headphones and the connected device Compared with voice calling continuous streaming required Bluetooth to support higher data speeds along with reduced latency Where Bluetooth was call specific version began to achieve the speeds needed for audio streaming at over Mb s However Sabin says the specification adopted by Bluetooth SIG in was when all streaming audio capabilities were implemented in automobiles phones headphones headsets and more Of course it would still be a few years before wireless headphones were mainstream In the early s headphones were still directly connected to a mobile phone or other source device Once Bluetooth became a standard feature in all new phone models as well as its inclusion in laptops and PCs consumers could count on wireless connectivity being available to them Even then music had to be loaded onto a memory card to get it on a phone as dedicated apps and streaming services wouldn t be a thing until the s The utility of the device that you carried around with you all the time was evolving Sabin said Bluetooth was ultimately riding that continued wave of utility by providing the opportunity to use that phone as a wireless streaming device for audio Bragi Dash true wireless earbudsPhoto by James Trew EngadgetAbout the time wireless headphones had become popular a few companies arrived with a new proposition in true wireless earbuds Bluetooth improvements meant reduced power requirements leading to much smaller devices with smaller batteries ーand still provide the performance needed for true wireless devices Bragi made a big splash at consecutive CESs with its Dash earbuds The ambitious product had built in music storage fitness tracking and touch controls all paired with a woefully short three hour battery life Perhaps the company was a bit overzealous in hindsight but it did set the bar high and eventually similar technologies would make it into other true wireless products Companies that were building products were really starting to stretch the specification to its limits Sabin explained There was a certain amount of innovation that was happening beyond that on how to manage the demands of two wireless earbuds Bluetooth s role he said was more about improving performance of the protocol as a means of inspiring advances in wireless audio devices themselves He was quick to point out that for the first few years true wireless buds accepted the Bluetooth signal to only one ear and then sent it to the other That s why the battery in one would always drain faster than the other In January Bluetooth SIG announced LE Audio at CES as part of version LE Audio delivered lower battery consumption standardized audio transmission and the ability to transmit to multiple receivers ーor multiple earbuds LE Audio wouldn t be completed until July but it offers a lower minimum latency of to milliseconds versus to milliseconds with Bluetooth Classic All of the processing is now done back on the phone itself and then streamed independently to each of the individual earbuds Sabin continued That will continue to deliver better performance better form factors better battery life and so on because the processing is being done at the source level versus on the individual earbuds The increased speed and efficiency of Bluetooth has led to improvements in overall sound quality too Responding to market demands for better audio Qualcomm and others have developed various codecs like aptX that expand what Bluetooth can do More specifically aptX HD provides kHz bit audio for wireless high resolution listening One of the elements that came into the specification even on the classic side was the ability for companies to sideload different codecs Sabin explained Companies could then market their codec to be available on phones and headphones to provide enhanced audio capabilities LE Audio standardizes Bluetooth connectivity for hearing aids leading to a larger number of supported devices and interoperability The use cases range from tuning earbuds to a user s specific hearing or general hearing assistance needs with or without the help of active noise cancellation or transparency mode to simply being able to hear valuable info in public spaces via their earbuds or hearing aid Bluetooth is becoming integral for people with hearing loss he explained Not only for medical grade hearing aids but you re seeing hearing capabilities built into consumer devices as well Sony s CRE E OTC hearing aidsSonySabin also noted how the development of true wireless earbuds have been key for people with hearing loss and helped reduce the stigma around traditional hearing aids Indeed companies like Sennheiser and Sony have introduced assistance focused earbuds that look no different from the devices they make for listening to music or taking calls Of course those devices do that too it s just their primary aim is to help with hearing loss The boom which has been going on for years was further facilitated by a FDA policy change that allowed over the counter sale of hearing aids One of the major recent developments for Bluetooth is broadcast audio better known as Auracast Sabin described the technology as unmuting your world which is exactly what happens when you re able to hear otherwise silent TVs in public spaces You simply select an available broadcast audio channel on your phone like you would a Wi Fi network to hear the news or game on the TV during your layover Auracast can also be used for things like PA and gate announcements in airports better hearing at conferences and sharing a secure audio stream with a friend Companies like JBL are building it into their Bluetooth speakers so you can link unlimited additional devices to share the sound at the press of a button You re seeing it in speakers you ll see it in surround sound systems and full home or party in a box type scenarios he said Sabin also noted that applications beyond the home could simplify logistics for events since Auracast audio comes from the same source before it s sent to a PA system or connected earbuds and headphones with no latency Sabin said the near term goal is for Bluetooth audio to be as common in public spaces as Wi Fi connectivity thanks to things like Auracast and the standard s constant evolution Even after years we re still relying on Bluetooth to take calls on the go but both the voice and audio quality have dramatically improved since the days of the headset Smaller more comfortable designs can be worn all day giving us constant access to music podcasts calls and voice assistants As consumer preferences have changed to having earbuds in at all times the desire to tune into our surroundings rather than block them out has increased Unmuting your world is now of utmost importance and the advancement of Bluetooth technology from the late s through LE Audio continues to adapt to our sonic preferences To celebrate Engadget s th anniversary we re taking a look back at the products and services that have changed the industry since March
