The truth about Sweden's short working hours
I'm talking about charging VAT for customers in Europe, which means a different rate for every country, and two forms of proof for the actual location. Reporting duties and storing records for 10 years etc... For a B2C company (or even small scale B2B dealing with many small companies) this is a total and utter mess. No accountant can abstract that away to my knowledge.

You can just send a closure to the UI thread and have it executed there, provided you are using a good enough programming language.

Or start the long-running computation from the UI code in a way that returns a promise, and chain the UI update on it, in a way that causes that continuation to be scheduled on the UI thread.

Or have an UI that can be updated from any thread (but not simultaneously) and take the big UI lock.

From Somerset Maugham’s novel “The Moon and Sixpence” (1)

Storeve : "I don’t pretend to be a great painter,” he says early on, “but I have something. I sell.”

Yet he recognizes Strickland’s (Stroeve's friend) work as genius.

He tells the dealer, “Remember Monet, who could not get anyone to buy his pictures for a hundred francs. What are they worth now?” The dealer questions this logic. “There were a hundred as good painters as Monet who couldn’t sell their pictures at that time, and their pictures are worth nothing still. How can one tell? Is merit enough to bring success?”

Stroeve is infuriated. “How, then, will you recognize merit?” he asks.

“There is only one way—by success,” the dealer replies. “Think of all the great artists of the past—Raphael, Michael Angelo, Ingres, Delacroix—they were all successful.”

I don't remember the exact reasons. Possibly due to our share split agreement or just wishing to have a "real" company, but my co founders opted for GmbH over UG. In any case it's a relatively small hurdle either way, but still something you have to work out and decide during the early days.

One problem with this sort of 'Genealogical' website is their total English language tunnel vision.

If your surname is short then it will probably have multiple source and saying the equivalent of "Surnameis 'Smith' therefore your family were once black smiths" is missing the fact that if your name came from a different country then that word means something different.

Maybe in the future they'll get more sophisticated.
Thanks. I am trying to see if this kind of thing is of general interest. The parser is in Python running on Google App Engine and unfortunately GAE has a very outdated version of lxml, which is limiting. If there is enough interest, I'll move to AWS EC2, deploy all the latest libraries and improve the code :)

I agree that technology probably works to increase inequality overall.

The whole point of technology is to increase the power of the individual wielding it. As such, military and surveillance technology enables smaller groups of elites to maintain their position in the face of larger and larger groups of revolutionaries.
Given that this code is used in major browsers that pay quite generous bug bounties it's likely that they made quite some profit out of that project.

You seem to just put out generic statements that have nothing directly to do with the topic here or bare any facts. So i cannot really respond to you.
If you bury your head in sand that's exactly what you'll think. Try getting out of Europe more often and see what the rest of the world achieves in a year and then you'll come to the same conclusion. Even in case of already advanced countries like Japan, in certain sectors, they are years if not decades ahead of Europe.
It took me a while to actually figure out what this does. There's no clear "how does this thing work" documentation without diving into the RobustIRC protocol.

I know what you're talking about, but I don't see much of that in this particular report. There's no "because socialism" here and it would be utterly ridiculous considering that "socialist European welfare state" correlates positively with "rich".

We can't discount valid criticism just because we suspect it may be motivated by the wrong political agenda. We have to ask if it's true.

Admittedly, the report doesn't make it easy to do that because it doesn't explain how exactly they calculate these rankings, and some of the sideswipes against privacy concerns are clearly misplaced and irrelevant.

But I think there can be very little doubt that Europe's digital economy is lagging badly behind the US and arguably falling further behind. If we don't wake up before the digital revolution eats Europe's auto industry and in the process ruins high tech equipment makers and robotics, we are on a trajectory to become a third world economy.

Are you referring to double-taxing or the US's "taxing income earned abroad" policy? It looks like the US has many tax treaties[0], and it's my understanding that these treaties will usually shield you from double-taxation.

What the US does do, however (as I understand it), is tax you on the difference between the income tax you pay in a foreign country and what you would pay if you were in the US. In other words, living in a foreign country with lower income tax than the US won't let you avoid paying at least as much income tax as if you were still in the US. (And if you move somewhere with higher taxes the US won't charge you any extra (nor give you tax credits! :P).)

An UG is legally exactly the same as a GmbH (they share most of the laws) with three differences:

* No required minimum capital

* Different name (which signals business partners that you didn't put down the minimum for a GmbH)

* You have to leave 25% of the company's earnings in the company until you reach 25k

Everything else, including all possible agreements between the owners is the same.

Extra paperwork (especially when you have to deal with paperwork in multiple languages) can get insanely expensive, though. Which makes the "incorporate outside the US" ineffective.
I wanted to start a limited company in Spain. After reading the requirements, I faced the other way and never enquired about it again.

Now Spain won't lose much by losing my business, but if everyone's as terrified as I was when trying to incorporate in Spain, suddenly it makes sense that they lack foreign investment.
I am guessing that there is not a a lot of secrecy needed because the SEO team is not the search team.

It's not just the US doing it. I always read newspapers from both sides of the pond and it was especially entertaining during the big financial crisis. Many European publications acted as if the US is collapsing but Europe will be largely unaffected and American ones anticipated swift recovery for the US and deep EU crisis. Even newspapers that you wouldn't normally associate with nationalistic sentiments (like the New York Times) engaged in some serious fear-mongering.

People also respond to these kinds of messages. I visited the US this August, when the euro crisis was often making the news. Several people were seriously and non-sarcastically concerned with my capacity for paying for my own lunch or hotel. They were very surprised when I told them that the euro is worth more or less the same as always in relation to the dollar.

I believe they sold their business through FE International so might be worth talking to them about your exit plan.

Sorry, but I found this book to be excessively verbose, and lacking anything but basic reading strategies that I have no doubt most people who read heavily already follow.

I can't speak for everyone, but unless some extraordinary new information comes to light I personally would never use livecoding.tv after observing this incident. It seems from the comments on this thread that a lot of HN readers agree with me.

interesting comment from Peter Richerson:

It seems to me that political struggle can reduce inequality without necessarily [much] violence. Labor agitation in the US from the late 19th century through the 1950s played a large coercive role in reducing inequality. The US elite faced a choice, give labor a fairer share of the economic pie or eventually face revolution. Led by FDR and like minded actors, the political elite pushed the business elite to reduce inequality to avoid revolution. Whether this would have happened without two mass mobilization wars is an open question, but union organizing and the agitation of radical political parties struck fear into the elite, hence the Palmer Raids and Edgar Hoover’s excesses. But those creeps were middle class boys on the make, scaremongering the elites in the pursuit of elite position for themselves. They may have help the egalitarians be exaggerating the power of the “Reds.” A credible threat of revolution can coerce elites pretty effectively.

Even Gandhian non-violence can be very effective. If you can organize a large mass of non-elites fanatically committed to non-violence, the elite has to worry what might happen if the non-violent fanatics suddenly got violently angry. The CP of China seems to really fear apparently harmless mass organizations like Falun Gong. Apolitical mass organizations are a threat to elites if inegalitarian or otherwise unfair treatment of commoners is common. Any such organization can morph into violent resistance at the drop of an atrocity.

Cluequest is a great puzzle room in london. I wasn't that excited about doing it but once you're inside with some friends it gets super competitive and fun!! Really interesting business problem as well about how to maintain interest and grow customer lifetime value. Possibly a problem that could be solved by super fast iteration of rooms so that a customer is never going to need to do the same room twice.......? I guess it is much like any theme park. You need to continuously update and improve the attractions.

Is it fair to talk about inequality inside a country and between countries as it is the same?

Obviously, if you move the production to other countries you are investing in those countries. That should raise the living standards for the people there (and this is a good thing).

But this don't, I think, invalidate Piketty and others arguments that tell us about the general trend in the system.

Maybe, you don't like that capitalism as answer to everything is not a good answer.
