As you are in Germany then I would say you're out of scope for subpoenas direct from US governmental authorities. They would however look for assistance from German authorities who may or may not be minded to comply. Of course different jurisdictions will react differently to a request from a US governmental authority for assistance (Russia for example would be unlikely to comply I imagine). As you say therefore, in terms of direct action against you, you would be able to fight in your courts.

In terms of the host of your data, the location of the data is of relevance, as is the jurisdiction in which the host is based. It's related to the Microsoft v US litigation. The main purpose of the litigation is to decide whether US entities hosting data outside the US have to comply with warrants to disclose that information (and in the process bypassing local protections/giving you the opportunity to fight in local courts).

If Microsoft is successful in the litigation, they won't have to comply with US issued warrants in relation to data stored outside the US.

If Microsoft loses, then you would be better placed using a hosting provider with no links to the US if you want to reduce the chances of data being disclosed to US governmental authorities.

I think "Airbnb" is entering our lexicon as a verb, the audience will widen. I hear the phrase "just airbnb your place" more than "just rent out your place". When people talk about travelling, they say "we'll just find an airbnb". "Airbnb" replacing hotel/rental/motel/bed and breakfast.

Likely lots of bias here as I'm a 30 something techie person, surrounded by like minded people.

I replied in general above, but to answer this in particular:

It has been told that printing your master password and putting it in your wallet is actually very safe: no online attack will reveal it, and losing the paper would not be an issue without extra information, the same way losing a physical key is not the end of the world without its address. You are doing something similar.

What you suggest is perfectly fine for one password - you are just moving the entropy from one place to the other. However, you shouldn't use it as a general method (see my other comment), and you should be aware that a determined attacker can find it by looking at your browser history.
I'd love to get into specifics, but will more just give a general description for confidentiality reasons.

In general, I see a lot of cloud service providers across the EU - think of the marketing materials you've likely gotten from Microsoft, Amazon, or Google about moving from on-prem infrastructure to all cloud and that's basically what these companies are doing, just on a much smaller scale.

As far as I can tell, they compete on servie; as I opened with, none of them can beat the big 3's pricing, but there seems to be a huge market in just having a competent DBA that they can call up and talk to when necessary. The companies also seem to provide a legally compliant service with EU data retention policies.

Others tend to take more of cloud storage position or cloud backup solution for businesses with on-prem set ups looking to have a DR site handled by someone else.

The best I can really describe it as is that all of the infrastructure that the US locks up in Azure, AWS, and cloud.google gets distributed across smaller providers who can be generic "get small business' DB up and running somewhere safe) or can get super specific and deal with stuff like NHS patient data management and storage.

> This is an inspiring point of view for those of us who would like to do business internationally as well I think. Personally, I'm stuck on the idea that the Internet is capable of helping citizens transcend national barriers (and timezones) to live more meaningful lives not strictly defined by the pens of politicians.

There's a headache of international law to pay attention to with these things, but there's also a really rewarding amount of work if you're willing to take on the initial task. I've only been with my current work about half a year, but without exaggeration I've had the chance to see a few thousand different set-ups and it's quite remarkable how much you can do with a little time and knowledge.

I believe this would be the relevant bit:

"I hereby find that the immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of aliens from countries designated pursuant to [law], would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, and I hereby suspend entry into the United States, as immigrants and nonimmigrants, of such persons for 30 days from the date of this order."

I don't know just how entering with a green card qualifies, but "immigrant and nonimmigrant" would seem to cover everything.

As far as actually having the power to do so, everything I've read indicates that the President has extremely broad powers to determine which noncitizens are allowed enter the country.

I like catching errors at compile time. But C++'s unchecked manual memory management introduces more errors than the rest of the language eliminates, undefined behaviour turns all bugs into security bugs, there aren't first-class sum types (std::variant is finally on the way in but seems quite restricted; std::visit, while much better than what came before, is pretty cumbersome), and templates are cumbersome in syntax (and error reporting) and not as safe as they look thanks to partial specialization (which will be fixed by concepts if they ever actually make it into the language, but, well...). Along with plenty of less immediate problems (e.g. the lack of a module system).

If there were an ML-family language with good Qt support I'd use that for my GUIs - I use ML-based languages for almost all my non-GUI work. There's plenty I dislike about Python but it's still the best desktop GUI experience I've found.

> Good luck with that. Europe doesn't provide the environment (neither culturally nor financially) needed for these types of companies to arise.

I think a large part of the success of US tech companies is the large size of the domestic market[1], which means startups can reach new customers much more easily to who speak the same language, use the same currency and so on. For example, if you want to do business in let's say the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, Denmark and Norway, you have to deal with the British pound, the Euro, the Swedish Krona, the Danish Krone and the Norwegian Krone, and have staff who can speak English, German, Swedish, Danish and Norwegian. Not to mention the different laws and customs in each country. There are less exit opportunities partially because (for example) a German company flush with cash is less likely to be aware of some Swedish company that is growing like a rocket and would make a good acquisition target (made up example). Whereas in the US, many professionals are likely reading the same news and tech sources, will speak the same language as the company they are looking at acquiring and use the same currency. Not to mention if a startup captures 1% of the market in Sweden or wherever, it's a much smaller userbase than 1% of the US market.

It reminds me similar story, in my place. Well-known company (who spends millions in Cricket) hired snake catchers to get rid-off snakes from their region - which also has employee's houses. But in few weeks ,they stopped coming because company didn't pay them promised money.

I hope these two snake catchers get paid more than their translators! Translating from English to Tamil is easy and the real credit/money should go to these catchers not translators. Even USD-2000 will make huge difference to their lives. (If I'm not wrong USD-2000 will be equivalent to 2 or 3 years salary)

Ask HN: Recommended company to incorporate offshore
Hey HN,

I was hoping to get some recommendations from people who have had experience with incorporating offshore using online services. This area appears to be littered with companies offering this service, but a lot of them look shady or have bad reviews.

Can anyone who has had experience incorporating offshore and opening a corporate bank account recommend services they've dealt with and had a positive experiences with?

Thanks!

EDIT: Ive been looking at incorporating in BVI, Belize, and Hong Kong. Although from what I've read, opening corporate bank accounts in Hong Kong for non-residents is becoming increasingly difficult due to some changes that were passed last year. As an alternative, I've been looking into opening the corporate bank account in Singapore, so id also been keen to hear your experiences with opening a bank account in a different country than where you've incorporated.

Except that what really happens is that the people that get appointed to the EU Commission are usually political hacks that either never had popular support in their country or lost it (see Günther Oettinger for example, that guy has been commissioner for three different things by now, is totally incompetent and can't even speak proper English). They are usually appointed through party politics not by competence and people care so little that literally anyone could be appointed anyways.

The elections for EU Parliament are not taken seriously in most countries and have had extremely low turnout, by now it is full of right wing idiots from various countries.

You conveniently left out the various side channels that don't even formally exist as European institutions, such as the Troika that decided on the fate of Greece, or the regular meetings of the finance ministers of the Euro Zone, which have had tremendous influence on the fiscal politics of smaller member states. Not to mention the various measures to deal with the Euro crisis by the ECB with the approval of a few large member nations, that cleverly bypassed and sidestepped many treaties and the additional European financial institutions that were created.
Yep, if I've nothing to do I just keep them talking. In my experience they almost never give up. I think they're told to keep talking until you hang up.

I’m not completely sure my question belongs here or if my english helps me to explain what I am looking for.
But it is creating for me some anxiety almost every day for at least 1 year, maybe more.
And I want to hear some perspectives/opinions different than what I read in the news or online articles about this subject:

_How to you see the future?_ (as human society, democracy, rights,… ). I’m asking this in general not just for US or a specific country in EU.

I want to know what other people are thinking. It might be that I am wrong. For sure my understanding of the world is limited so things are escaping from my overview.

I’m interested in perspectives that are not directed to criticism/judgement of what happened.
But more like an imagination exercise of how the world might be, why it would be like that and how do you prepare for it.

Microsoft: We're investing $1bn a year in cybersecurity R&D
Plenty of cities are starting to introcude regulatory measures against airbnb which will make it much harder to stay profitable and grow. Munich, Berlin and Barcelona are all concerned that flats are often used only for airbnb nowadays, thereby removing them from the market, and have started measures to penalize flats used for airbnb (penalties up to 500 000 Euros). It's become a side business for a lot of rich people who buy flats explicitly for renting out via airbnb, not just temporarily renting out an unused room in your flat. I expect the backlash to become much stronger in the years to come.
Also 31, also coding since ~15, and also had trouble wrapping my head around Rails.

For me I think it was mainly because with Rails, the implicit conventions are actually hidden rules, and they're not always intuitive either, which made memorizing them much harder than, say, memorizing a small set of simple functions in an actual library. That's probably also why I have so much trouble with CSS I'm guessing.

These days I maintain a Clojure web app that uses Compojure, and I have to say it's significantly easier to reason about than the iceberg Rails is.

Google and the Internet Archive already caches it. Also, if your work goes down for whatever (perhaps legal) reason, you know that people can still benefit from it.

I'm thinking that maybe I could share my current train of thoughts (where “c” = cause and “e” = effect) as an example.

Hypothesis: There are a lot of nationalists movements that are starting to be more vocal and get supporters.

If they start to gain momentum (c1) then the countries will fall back to seeing their interests first (e1).

So it follows that they will protect first national/local businesses and then focus on international deals (c2).

In this case the flow of money starts to be slower (e2).

So the push for innovations and creativity will suffer a pressure at least from lack of investments (c3).

And from this it might be that the advancement of the IT into automation and being integrated part of almost all of live aspects it might slow (e3).

Less startups, less focus on innovation from companies, less research (c4).

In this case then we will have less benefits of 21st century (e4) (free movement, vacancies, talking about happiness, learning a new programming language …) and more focus on efficiency and pragmatism.

Now if this is the case than I have to think in what direction should I start preparing myself so that I get the most probable best future.
I'm in IT doing a combination of development, product management with focus on teams and prototyping ideas.

Is the best preparation to keep learn a new framework/programming language? Or is it getting deeper into what I already know? Should I learn more how to work in physical world?

A lot of questions and the answer for them - at least for me - resides in how do I foresee the future.
