Open to abuse & certainly not privacy friendly, but in a hypothetical world where governments can be trusted on that it seems very plausible that it could be a social plus.

i.e. You can probably spot trends like person X spends a huge amount of their pay on nappies and babyfood...probably could do with some additional social help.

Nordic countries probably come closest to said hypothetical but still seems kinda dicey

That's entirely different. The reason why ethanol degradation is a non-issue on modern cars is that they've been engineered to resist ethanol. The reason why grandpa lived to 100 years is through dumb luck.
Ostensibly... But if you ever pay with a card, it's quite likely those with the data will be able to correlate your cash purchases with the card purchase and thus identify you.

These are all really good questions. I am not sure. I think that you could work around these issues by either "hiring" people as contractors or using something like https://remote.com/ or https://www.letsdeel.com/. But I'd definitely be interested in hearing how other companies solved this problem (which is partially why I created the post).
> Ask them if they'd like to get rid of corruption though: I would guess that most people would like to get rid of that from where they live, and you're more likely to remove it under democratic regimes.

Yes. In the above poll, pretty much every culture was advocating for a "fair justice system". But what justice? You'll find that the definition of justice varies wildly between places like, say, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, and Iceland. The kind of justice the people want in some places has nothing to do with democracy. What constitutes "corruption" also varies wildly. If you ask someone from Uganda what sort of corruption he refers to, you might be surprised of the answer.

> Religion or tribalism/clans? You'll find places that are democratic are less likely to be tribal/clanish (which often leads to less corruption), and there's a high level of modern secularism as well. You'll also find that these traits also tend to correlate highly with (historically) Christian cultures:

You are taking the problem from the wrong end. Tribalist/clanic cultures cannot easily move towards democracy, it is not democratics states that are less likely to be tribal/clanic.
You can fork - the source is technically open - and you could form an open source project around it, but the current project isn’t.

And you could expect a whole lot more. To me Open Source is less about being able to fork, and more about not being dependent on some particular company.
Sure you can't just sell your stadium rights to anyone but can you recoup some money if the team is ok with whoever is found?
> There are so many terrible UX/UI patterns everywhere in these tech companies. Apple, Google, Spotify, Netflix, Microsoft, Amazon, etc;

I 100% agree with this, and I find myself increasingly hating software the worse the UX is.

I was in visual studio the other day, and wanted to view the properties of the project on the settings page, so I open it up trying to view it, which immediately and automatically without any input from me fired some sort of event off that modified the settings and completely broke the project.

Strangely enough, about the only time I ever have to troubleshoot gnome issues is when I do a distro upgrade and have to go fix all the new defaults to something usable.

I’m sure fedora will follow suit and I’ll have to do some googling on how to get the new and improved text editor into a functional state sometime soon.

But they registered a Gewerbe, cope with cash registers, file for VAT monthly, are maybe even properly incorporated.

International sales are easy, in most acses they are without VAT and easy enough to file. International slaes, so, have nothing to do with German incorporation but are either EU or whatever driven.

If you think the US actually acted in Syria to increase human rights and reduce bloodshed I have a few bridges to sell you.

From the very beginning the "locally led uprising" was 50% Islamists.

And by the way, Turkey is essentially annexing Syria right now. Unlike Ukrainians, the Syrians can't meaningfully fight back because Turkey is in NATO, so their forces have absolute safe harbor.

Beyond this, there is no reasonable moral argument that an annexation is any worse than installing a puppet dictator.
Quoting from Frank Herbert's Dune:

Gestapo's dream. I think they did in fact track purchases--not very efficiently--to find who was hiding Jews in their basement.

>I suppose if you tried hard enough you could process ethanol corn into food, but it wouldn't be that healthy I'd imagine.

Unhealthy in what sense? That it's all carbs? Or that it's toxic for human consumption? If it's the former and you're starving, it being high carbs is the least of your worries.
Ok, got it. My point was that you need to found a parent company in general. As I'm Austrian it doesn't matter if it's in the US, Canada, Singapore or Cayman Islands.

Spotify's algorithm doesn't do "songs I haven't heard in a while", it does " here's 20 songs from your playlist, have fun with it for the next few weeks. So even if I "songs I haven't heard in a while", Spotify's garbage algorithm is not it. At this rate, I'd much prefer an actually random playlist.

I've been having to work around it by copying over the playlist I was shuffled, running it through shuf, and then putting it in to a separate playlist, and lastly, disable shuffle. It's garbage, but it's better than what Spotify produces.
Yeah, you can shorten that time with colder temperatures I have read.

I think the critiques in this video [0] sum up my main feelings about the game. The puzzles are fantastic. The <spoiler> puzzles are fantastic. The movement, environment, graphics, etc are all fantastic. But, the "story" and "message" of the game can be interpreted in many ways. It is art in the sense that everyone gets something different from it. But it is pretentious because, if everyone gets something completely different from your "experience", you really didn't convey anything. That's what most people (I think) are talking about when they say "<art> is pretentious".

Having pixel art and then each “pixel” being 4 or 16 pixels, obvious when scaled or rotated, I think is bad artistic form regardless of whether it’s a vintage styled or modern styled game. It breaks the flow and suspension of disbelief that comes with pixel art. The brain can’t interpolate anymore. Besides, it’s not hard to render to a buffer and scale it up nearest-neighbor, and it always looks better IMO

Sometimes I feel a little bit for not giving Gnome 3 a fair chance, but I just never got into it. GNOME 2 was, to me, the peak of Unix desktop environments, and I was rather sad when the devs moved on to GNOME 3.

Then I discovered MATE and was very happy because a) it showed me I was not the only one to feel that way about GNOME 2 and 3 respectively, and b) I could retain the comfort of GNOME 2.

I couldn't really tell if GNOME 3 is good or not, because I have not spent enough time to figure it out. Maybe I will one day, but I'm perfectly happy with MATE, so unless something changes drastically, I'll stick with it for the foreseeable future.

This is like opening a time capsule and examining all the little details. Almost more interesting than the barebones, locked-in-time product page for a paid C compiler, is the locked-in-time cgi-bin-powered shopping cart page at http://www.safepay.net/cgi-bin/shop/cart.cgi?db=products.dat... (note it's an http link).

There's a whole host of old-school relics here--it is truly a blast from the past: paying separately for a debugger, paying for specific libraries, videos available on DVD.

It's really hard to express how deeply internet access has changed the landscape of ... well, everything, but in this particular case, the programming ecosystem. gcc probably existed back when I bought this compiler, and probably so did Borland's excellent pre-internet-era IDE, but I didn't know that. And so I bought this one.
You can buy alcohol at the supermarket in Norway, it's just that it's limited to alcohol of 4.5%vol. or lower (i.e. the supermarkets sell beer and alcohol cider and the like).

The best way I know is something like, open a terminal and do

find /usr/share/applications | xargs grep "Name=Text Editor"

Then look for the `Exec` line in whatever files it finds.

This is obviously terrible, and not really "in the UI" like you asked. Maybe there's a better way but it's not obvious to me.
There was a prompt. Not a default position.

You could argue the wording was loaded or something, but it’s certainly not an “opt-in to tracking” situation.

You couldn’t proceed without picking one of the options.
Video analysis, grocery delivery data sold to data brokers, etc. are unregulated in some places like the US. So you are much more likely to have, for example, your health insurance revoked for whatever untransparent reasons in places where this kind of data collection is all in the private sector.
Similarly to Estonia I've heard lots of people recommending Malta but can't really name any international remote-first startup that became successful and raised money with an Maltese entity..

> when I unload my cart of fresh produce, meats, cheeses and baked goods it doesn't look like the carts around mine. They are full of canned foods, frozen foods, boxed foods, etc.

Canned, frozen, and boxed foods offer a much higher "calorie/dollar" ratio. Berries, in particular, are wildly expensive on this metric even in-season.

A family with 3 kids, 2 cars, and median earnings (one part-time, since working to pay for childcare often makes no financial sense) literally cannot afford to subsist primarily on "meat, cheese, and fresh produce".
Definitely not. The SEC is grossly underfunded.

Such a wonderful program. I have used Inkscape for decades! I love it.

THe only problem I have is that when I use it heavily, I get proficient with the UX, then I dont touch it for an extended period and have to re-learn a bunch of stuff each time.

Anyone switch to Krita? I have Krita, but I always go back to Inkscape.

I did all the documentation for the LucasFilm, San Francisco General Hospital, Brocade and others in a combination of Visio and Inkscape.
I love everything by Nintendo for this reason. I would also look at genres like racing and sports where you have a lot of non-violent options.

Then there are platformers like Ori and fun games like Overcooked.

If you're looking for games with a creative spark there's always Minecraft and if you want to throw in some problem solving into the mix, checkout Cities Skylines or any of the games in the Tycoon series. These games might be single player but it can be played by a committee if you know what I mean
Mainly liability, a UG is liable for whatever amount it was founded with, a GmbH for 25k. A person is liable for, well, an unlimited amount. Which can suck, e.g. you run eCommerce and sales crash. A GmbH is liable for 25k of ooen invoices (or whatever assets the company currently has), a person would owe the full amount.

Plus, a GmbH is a professikbal business, the looks cannot be under estimated.
Absolutely. Those are both extraordinary films.

The Polanski Macbeth is a bit dated for my tastes, but it's definitely a great film. Some day (perhaps even now) those Branagh films are going to feel dates as well, which kinda scares me. (None of the adaptations he made after that were extraordinary, either. His Hamlet is certainly important, but I wouldn't recommend it to a new Shakespeare fan.)
Worth remembering the whole reason this can even be suggested is that Scandies tend to have high trust. Not saying there won't be similar voices to what is in this comment section, but plenty of Norwegians will take this at face value, an honest attempt to gather socially useful information, part of a tradition that has historically functioned reasonably well.
I recently had to consider this and was quite surprised to discover that the US was the best place. Compared to most countries the US has been a tax haven for a long time, but the 2017 tax change meant that in most cases the US would be a significantly cheaper place to recognize revenue.* Also the mechanics of getting the boring things done is significantly easier, as noted by the Germany post cited in your question.

Because of the US FATCA law you may have trouble opening a bank account in some countries (smaller entities simply can’t be bothered with the paperwork the US demands on accounts for “US Persons”, a term which has specific meaning). In practice this just means you have to deal with larger banks.

Note I’ve been a US resident for decades, and started several companies here, but am not a US citizen and have lived and worked on three other continents as well so had no prior bias.

Among the so-called “walking simulator” first-person story/exploration games, What Remains of Edith Finch stands out as easily the best in my view. Aside from having more involved gameplay than its contemporaries, its greatest success is its storytelling: a set of beautiful, tragicomic vignettes told through a magical realist lens.

If you’re looking for a compelling story, I can’t recommend it highly enough.

How does one profit from inflation?
This assumes that the scope of tracking is somehow naturally limited to grocery, and can't extend. Also, the technically easiest way to track grocery purchases can be by tracking all purchases, and then filtering out the non-grocery.

Let's generalize the question: what makes you uncomfortable about the government tracking all your (non-cash) purchases? They already know your income for tax purposes, and much of your large purchases, also for tax purposes. And if you need a pinch of stuff that's illegal, you're not going to swipe your debit card anyway. I suppose a court order will show all your bank operations history, should the government need it for lawful purposes.

So, if there's still anything left to preserve, we need to clearly articulated first, what that is.
For Americans, how much does it cost to get permanent residency? To my understanding, it's $500k for a golden visa from Spain, which is too rich for my blood.

I’m talking hypothetically: The economic cost to the EU is also not 10%, but would you consider those two costs — hypothetical 10% EU recession and hypothetical Russia reduced to subsistence farming — to be equal?

Also: I should’ve thought of this before, but cost to each party isn’t the right metric — it’s what does the EU gain at what cost to the EU (and likewise for each party), so the question is probably more like:

Q1) does this situation look like a warmongering power trying to rebuilding a lost empire? If so, what’s the cost of sitting back and doing nothing?

A1) let’s say p=0.1, €3T/year

Q2) [insert more hypotheticals, probability estimates, and costs here, a real analysis wouldn’t fit in a comment]

Finally: multiply the chances by the costs, add them all up, that’s what it makes sense for the EU pay.

> If we read between the lines, we're also at the brink of a massive food crisis

We’re not even close to that, despite the breathless headlines and the fact the Russian forces interfered with a significant quantity of food production and are blockading the ports that would normally export it from Ukraine.

Hell, even the UK isn’t that screwed and they’re short of farm hands to pick crops and vets to certify the abattoirs because of Brexit.
They were. Most of the right-wing elements (there weren't that many of them as Kremlin propaganda would like you to believe) were purged as part of this process, or left the battalion themselves.

There's a decent article on this (from a strongly pro-Ukraine publication) that expounds on this theme in a relatively neutral way (IMHO). The sad thing it's in Russian, but should be readable through the magic of google translate if you're interested enough.

US (and a few other countries) attacked Iraq, because propaganda claimed that they had weapons of mass destruction. Let's not forget the time before that, where iraqis supposedly killed babies in a hospital.

Somehow we treat those wars and those agressors differently.
> And somehow this magically "gives rise to racism"?

No, the point is that some current day groups tend to like very much the idea of a militaristic society with a fetish for strength and disregarding death. Therefore, this historically inaccurate characterization tends to be coopted and used to prop up their political agenda.

Racist groups were already there, and them using history to build their credibility is nothing new.
Employment, VAT, local taxation. Do it properly and you can even, at larger scales, do stuff like Amazon or Apple.
I went and checked various online papers with comment sections, and the comments have been massively negative to this. This is apparently not something people will easily accept, so it remains to be seen what happens.
