Anyway, I don't understand what I do wrong, if:
1. I have a job in Germany and live in Germany
2. I have opened a company in Estonia (owner)
3. I do consultancy through USA services (like Upwork) for USA or UK clients and money is earned by a company in Estonia
4. How an estonian's company income (not a income of a person) be taxed by germany?
5. If i want to get money from company - it will be dividents with taxation in Estonia and rest in Germany

Is something wrong in this situation?

Data created on someone else's computer cannot ever be owned by you. Data created by someone else's proprietary software on your locked computer is probably never exclusively yours either.
I did this for my parents, but mostly to save bandwidth. They live far enough out of town that they can only use Verizon LTE. It saves them over $100/yr.
Fpga and co have not always come with registers. Back in the days this was more or less how it was done.
The bad thing is that it's much harder (IMO) to find freelance jobs for back-end development (especially for SQL-based stuff and not Node or Rails with Mongo or whatnot).

On the other hand, yes, the SQL coursework I did a decade ago is holding up really well :) .

What's wrong with Medium? I used to run my own blog software. I don't recommend it unless you really need to micromanage the implementation. Most people do not. This is why I let Medium handle all the intricacies of publishing my blog so I can just write.
History shouldn't be a problem, you can do a shallow checkout. But you will have to store the working tree at least on your workstation.

This solves the next scaling problem of avoiding managing the whole working tree. (without requiring narrow clones which have significant downsides)
To be honest, even if every ad were a "good ad", that is to say, if we could guarantee with 100% accuracy that every ad would be unobtrusive, malware free, targeted to things that are relevant to me, without invading my privacy or tracking me, then I'd still keep an ad-blocker installed. The simple fact is that I use an ad blocker because advertising is ubiquitous, and it works- that is to say, it has a measurable psychological affect on the people who are exposed to it. I would vastly prefer to minimize my exposure to things that are trying to convince me that I need things, or make me afraid that I don't have them.

I'd be okay with paying some sort of nominal fee to support a site that reliably has content that I like and is appropriately valued, but those opportunities are very rare. I've occasionally donated $5 or $10 to sites that I use that, when you are using an ad blocker, replace an ad with a message that says something to the extend to "hey, since we're not getting ad revenue from you, would you mind chipping in?". I've never subscribed or disabled my ad blocker for a site that tries to hold it's content hostage, and I can't imagine paying for sights that want $20+/month for a subscription.
It sounds great because there is no administration in the last 50 years that didn't already have those principles. This executive order doesn't say anything.

Fine. You get half a point for pointing out that this has been corrected as a schedule conflict. And I get half a point for pointing out that Welch is retired.

Returning to your main point, consumer pressure is being brought to bear. Even Musk has acknowledged this while saying he wants (for now) to engage.

Yet you can't name the timers, so it's easy to forget which is which when you set timers staggered throughout cooking at different intervals (even more exacerbated if you dare try to time things to generally come together at the same time).

It's not complicated, it just means on disputed facts the courts selection of a single expert will decide the only viewpoint presented to the trier of fact (which might also be the court).

I don't know why we would prefer that for general "background" facts that are in dispute which are relevant to evaluate the more direct facts of the case any more than we would for other types of evidence.

git-annex is, IMHO, by far the best solution.

Pros of git-annex:

- it is conceptually very simple: use symlinks instead of ad-hoc pointer files, virtual files system, etc. to represent symbolic pointer that point to the actual blob file;

- you can add support for any backend storage you want. As long as it support basic CRUD operations, git-annex can have it as a remote;

- you can quickly clone a huge repo by just cloning the metadata of the repo (--no-content in git-annex) and just download the necessary files on-demand;

And many other things that no other attempt even consider having, like client-side encryption, location tracking, etc.
I wonder if this just ins't a push by the copper industry to build a market before the penny's ultimate demise in the future. Follow the money sheeple! /s
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Europe organized itself quite rationally along the lines you suggest. The old dynastic borders and multi-ethnic states went away and German, Italian, Polish, Russian, etc. nationalities each aligned reasonably closely with their own single state. It did not end peacefully.

While internally-homogenous states may have peaceful domestic politics, their international politics become more troublesome. First because the exact same ethnic hatreds translate perfectly well into wars between nation-states. And second because many cultural groups, when assembled into their own homogeneous state, simply don't have the economic or military resources to defend themselves against aggression from larger neighboring groups.

An excellent history of exactly this dynamic -- how domestic government organization and international strategy interrelate -- is the book "The Shield of Achilles".
That is some class A bullshit right there.

AI Is About to Learn More Like Humans–with a Little Uncertainty
I personally don't consider that to be exactly relevant (if it were, then we could say that macOS is also older than GNU, which is sufficiently unintuitive to be misleading). It'd be more relevant if FreeBSD was actually maintained by UC Berkeley's CSRG as an official successor to BSD itself; otherwise, we're dealing with a kind of ship of Theseus situation where things are replaced and rewritten and "age" becomes very ambiguous.

I also don't really consider "age" in and of itself to be a real factor at all here anyway. It implies (probably not intentionally, but the implication is there nonetheless) that things should be rewritten from scratch all the time in order to avoid "old" things, which would be silly.
As an addendum, I have two kids, and the google photos recognition rate for them is astonishing. They're ~2 years apart and google photos never confuses pictures of the older one with pictures of the younger one taken ~2 years later, for instance.

How is this an "explanation" or "cracking" the problem? They showed that an emotional response was correlated with neural behavior... what else could it have been?

More broadly, it's frustrating that neuroscientists reframe genuinely interesting questions ("Why do I get angry when people eat apples beside me?") into boring questions ("What does my brain look like when I'm angry about someone eating an apple?").
True for most, but points b and g seem to be much more recent concerns, especially with the billowing national debt.

On my '72 Dodge, there's a mechanical device to lower the 12 volt system voltage to 5 volts for the dash instruments. It's a buzzer kind of thingy. Some people replaced it with a modern voltage regulator to get exactly 5 clean volts, and found that the instruments didn't work right.

It turns out that the instruments needed the erratic 5 volts, else they'd "stick".
ASTsearch: Intelligently search in Python code
Funny how my comment was flagged and banned: Talk about an echo chamber of left wing fascists. Do you left wing nut jobs even have any clue what conservatives like Thiel stand for or do you just knee jerk to "ban em, ban em all"? I mean after calling them names of course.
Well maths always sounds good with all its allure of "purity" and "intellect". However I think one should remember that maths is basically some very-high level abstractions on our analog, chaotic world. Just like rigid linguistics/grammatical rules fail miserably in representing actual human languages, abstract maths probably also cannot claim to represent the real essence of the world that well. Even a statistical/neural network-style approach does it so much better. So yeah, if you're so into constructing and deconstructing abstruse abstractions, maybe do maths very seriously. But does it really represent the "truth" of life? I think that might be a bit dubious.

I think he's a bit more complex than that and we should avoid overly simplistic metaphors. I am not a fan of Thiel but I have listened to him explain his worldview at length in person and while I dispute many of his assumptions I feel he holds them in good faith and is persuadable.

Milo, on the other hand, acts as if he aspires to be the Ernst Roehm of the internet age and I have little tolerance for him.

Because very few people have a need to support a billion-LOC monorepo on which 30K engineers make tens of thousands of commits daily. That's where this system shines.

For smaller projects, Git+Bazel (open source, non-distributed version of Blaze) works fine if you're working with C++, and other build systems work OK as well, if you're working with other languages.
Yeah I'm sure we can trust the word of a novelist with a book to sell.
wpdemo.cloud is a service for people who sell WordPress products, such as plugins and themes. You can simply configure a template WordPress site and save its state. By calling a specific URL, the template will be copied and provided to your customer. Your customer can play around with your product as an admin, while your product is safe, since you can encrypt it using ioncube before uploading.

If they are going on to internships and research projects, it is likely they have discovered their vocation, just a few years late.

Perhaps the hoodwinking is that it creates a false perception that the workplace which is ~85% male will be as welcoming as the educational environment, which for Harvey Mudd is 50/50.

This HBR report is pretty brutal and eye opening on how women engineers are treated in the workplace. Not so much blatant rude sexual discrimination (though there some of that), but persistent pernicious subtle degradation and diminution.

https://hbr.org/2016/08/why-do-so-many-women-who-study-engin...

We found that these work sites echoed the gender stereotyping experienced in school projects: men were assigned interesting problem-solving tasks where they could develop their analytic and technical skills, while women were often assigned jobs sorting papers, copying, collecting equipment, writing notes, and coordinating—tasks they felt did not value or cultivate their skills.

This second round of gender stereotyping in the workplace, coupled with unchallenging projects, blatant sexual harassment, and greater isolation from supportive networks, leads many female students to revisit their ambitions.
By the way, since you mention "deserve" - the paycheck is not about what someone deserves. People at McDonalds work hard, I personally know two such people. They deserve a lot more. Unfortunately the market does not support the wages they deserve.

Do you and I deserve what we earn? Sadly, markets decide wages, we do not. The only real control you and I have is the ability to walk away if we feel we deserve more. People do walk away from $200k salaries. I know lots of people who would absolutely walk away from a $200k salary. Here are some reasons:
- Programmers are highly exposed to market cycles, so you need to earn more in good years to make up for bad years. Since you are 27, you have never seen bad years. They do come. People end up unemployed or underemployed for 1 or 2yrs. Some never recover.
- Programmers are like athletes, your earning ability goes down rapidly over time due to age-discrimination. So you need to earn $250 or $300k/yr to make up for future down years. Note this is unlike medicine or law where there isnt as much age discrimination.
- Programmers need to constantly retrain themselves, often on their own time.

For these three reasons, one might argue that programmers deserve more money. However, they dont get more money because they deserve it, they get more because:
A. Many tech workers see the above 3 issues
B. ...they move into other, better paying or more stable jobs or more long-term sustainable jobs
C. ......they reduce supply
D. .........market wages go up.

If tech jobs were more stable or long-term oriented people would expect lesser wages.
I think they really need to work on how to report problems succinctly. A simple error tone would be fine, combined with some recognized follow-up command like “what happened” or “tell me more”; in other words, assume by default that the person probably just mumbled and is about to repeat the real command.

Instead, Alexa likes to spew out multi-sentence explanations when there is a problem, and trying to talk over all of that to get Alexa’s attention again is very irritating. Usually I end up trying to talk at the same time and it may or may not listen. Imagine Alexa saying all of this kind of stuff: “I am sorry, the Thing I Think You Asked Me About But You Did Not Actually Ask Me About is not available right now. I cannot find a solution. Please go to Amazon dot com slash Something Else You Most Definitely Did Not Ask About, and visit the solutions web page.”. While all of that unnecessary verbiage is being barked out, I am usually saying something like: “Alexa...Alexa...ALEXA, turn on the...ALEXA, turn on the...ALEXA STOP!!! Alexa, turn on the lights.”.
Blink Health | Security Hire #2: Infrastructure-Focused Security Engineer | New York NY | VISA https://www.blinkhealth.com/

Looking for someone primarily to help securing our AWS infrastructure and maybe local network and host security. What does this mean? Well, what do you want it to mean? We’re a 60ish person startup, so you not only have a lot of flexibility in the role, but also the role requires a fair amount of flexibility.

As the title says, this is the 2nd person in the security department. Currently I’m doing AppSec, AWS cloud sec, office IT security, physical security, and policy & security governance. I’m looking for someone to add a bit more capacity, primarily in the AWS area. Our servers are generally linux, and our laptops are generally MacOS. You might be super-senior and able to do everything from day one, you might be junior and need some help ramping up. Either and everything in between is okay. I’m happy to tailor the role to match your experience, expertise, and interests. (Obviously, salary will be based on relevant experience & skills. That said, I’m happy with my pay.)

Why you want to work for Blink Health:

* Interesting, varied work

* Building a real thing that actually helps people

* Get in early on a startup that actually has hundreds of thousands of paying customers

* Livable work environment (friendly, reasonable people, no permanent crunch time)

* Standard “well-funded startup” perks (unlimited vacation time (this is actually a thing), free lunches, good stock plan, etc.)

* Standard “real company” benefits (health/vision/dental, 401(k), etc.)

What you should have to apply:

* Some experience related to network/host/IT security

* Some coding/automation skills

* Desire for varied work

* Desire to work in NYC SoHo

Preventing future bailouts was a charter goal for the Obama administration, and the reason for the financial industry regulations (fought tooth and nail by the GOP) that this EO is subtextually putting on the chopping block.
There are only 3 options (plus shutting it down) 1) Native advertising/sponsored articles/affiliate revenue or whatever applies. 2) subscription/paywall. 3) Proper advertising (that isn't blocked). You contact the advertiser, you put a sponsor message/banner/whatever on the site and you agree on a price. No targeting, no tracking.

I think a majority of the sites that are ad-funded today will have to find a new working business model or go under.

I hope there will be a renaissance in online advertising where decent advertising lets content be "free" in the sense that I'm not paying with my integrity and information.
Actually it says quite a lot -- you just have to read between the lines. And consider certain things that he's said on the campaign trail (for example, his pledge to "do a big number" on Dodd-Frank).

Language like "enable American companies to be competitive with foreign firms in domestic and foreign markets" is, in the crowd he runs with, a standard euphemism for "scrap as much oversight and regulation as we can possibly get away with", for example.
I don't understand the argument that they don't profit. All of their people get their pay. Instead of sitting on giant piles of cash they use it all to invest in more stuff. That sounds like a great idea!

I never understand it when I hear such and such company has billions of dollars of cash just sitting around. If they spent that money wouldn't that help themselves and the economy?

Truly I am no economist.

Edit: I kept reading and I have to stop. I have too many counter arguments to each paragraph and I know I'm missing some larger picture they want to paint because of it. Without a significant investment of time which they've obviously devoted. I feel like they just really want to have an anti-trust lawsuit and are trying to fit the argument to available companies.

German public trust in USA plummets to record low: study
Good question. No reason to expect Google beating AWS, but absolutely Google beats Snap on price per Watt if Snap builds this infra out themselves. I'm no expert, but I'd say that when the outlook is five years and you're Google and you have your own internal energy hedge fund, a big margin (perhaps not 10x) is within the realm of possibility.

Agreed, but the problem is that the economy can't support the citizenry. Learning an instrument is unlikely to change that for someone who doesn't have a job.

> it speaks of diversity in knowledge and problem solving approaches, rather than race, gender, age and other identifying features

The key piece is how you connect that statement to your next statement of what defines 'top' and 'very good'. Your heuristic is coding output. Code and programming has context. In most cases, it's a business context.

The point is value can be derived from experiences uniquely tied to race and gender, especially given how we're taught race and gender. It often doesn't coincide with reality.

That intrinsic value, of lived experience, shapes thought. It shapes how people approach problems. That value has to be tapped. Those evaluating talent (and its potential) often cannot 'see' why it should be a factor.

This is a limitation of the evaluators' local optima (referenced in the research).
Interesting perspective. But what determines market wage? If my company is going to make 500-700k on me per annum, I think a 150k salary inclusive of bonuses + health care + very generous PTO + 5% 401k matching is a very good pay. Which is what I am getting right now. In the end, my company will spend about 200k on me per annum not including my visa expenses. So would that mean the market wage for this position is some where close to what I am getting paid? I think yes. However, if the company is making 2-3 million on me but only pays me my current salary, there is a lot of room for market wage increase.

In the end, I think market wage is also based on the ROI you bring to the company. In my case, if a local appears and commands a 200k base, why should the company pay him/her? In the local's eyes, s/he is worth 200k + but the company does not generate enough value of of them to pay that salary. So, I do not think I am displacing anyone here. In fact, as I said, I helped mentor two americans and I would gladly teach my skills to the locals if the govt had certain programs where immigrants can teach the locals and get some sort of benefit from it( May be a faster track for a green card? ). I don't know, just a thought :)
We don't need Internet message board speculation as to why the order was worded the way it was. The reason is that Giuliani suggested that particular language to try to make the executive order a "legal Muslim ban". This has been widely reported on--in fact, it was front page news a week ago.
No. The problem isn't only the storage or fetching of the files (this is the easy bit :) ), it's the operations that detect changes in the working tree. If you have a large tree scanning it becomes slow.

Using a vfs allows you to track which files have changed so that these operations no longer need to scan. Now they are O(changed files) which is generally small.

Now IPFS has a vfs, but it is just a simple read/write interface. This vfs needs slightly more logic to do things like change the base revision and track changes.
