> It is stupidly easy to create a GmbH or UG, especially the UG. Also very cheap, if you push it two days are enough, will cost you around 100 bucks.

Having gone through the process (and a rather smooth one at that), I can say with absolute confidence that this is not true at all.

1) Talking to the notary alone and arranging the details (articles of organization, fees – as the notary might try to rip you off –, and the notary appointment) will take several email round trips, aside from the actual appointment to sign the paperwork and the required self-study to understand what you're doing.

2) Opening a bank account as a UG/GmbH that's in the process of being founded is not difficult but it's not exactly easy, either, because you will have to do it before you sign the documents at the notary, i.e. before you are incorporated, because the notary wants to see a bank statement as confirmation that all shareholders have paid their share. The bank, however, wants to see your founding documents which of course you won't have before you've gone to the notary and received the other paperwork from the local company registry (Amtsgericht / court) confirming the existence of your company. Resolving this catch 22 means several more email round trips and even more paperwork.

3) The fees of the notary alone are in the range of 100€. Add to that the fees at the Amtsgericht for incorporating and the fees for the local government (for registering your business / official company address) and you're looking at a few hundred euros in total founding costs. (I forgot how much exactly; I would have to look it up.)

4) The bank account requirement alone means that you'll probably be paying ~15€ every month to the bank. On top of that, unless you want to do the bookkeeping on paper (i.e. by hand), you'll need proper (tamper-resistant!) double-entry bookkeeping software, which (last time I looked) is not free, either. (Excel is no longer allowed!)

5) Every year you'll be paying ~60€ to hand in your balance sheet (Handelsbilanz) to the Bundesanzeiger and your "electronic tax balance sheet" (Elektronische Steuerbilanz) to the tax authorities. You'll also pay ~150-200€ to the local IHK (Chamber of Commerce and Industry) just because your company… exists(?!)

6) Speaking of bookkeeping & balance sheets, you'll also be handing in tax declarations for the different taxes your company will be subject to (USt, KSt, GewSt). Learning how to do all that is a proper time sink. Unless you want to pay an accountant, you're looking at dozens if not hundreds of hours of self-study and paperwork every year.

7) The second you want to hire anyone, social security and employee wellfare laws will mean even more work for you (at which point you'll probably hire someone just to take care of all of that paperwork for you).
Does it not seem reasonable that if a chat group has, lets say, more than 1000 participants, whatever is said should be considered said in public?
Depends on where the additional years are added. Around the middle of life or in its end.
Woah! Is it similar to Reddit's API with no limit whatsoever and do whatever you want with it?
Just want to give a shoutout to Amazon Music, who (in a good way?) don't care much about the customer or a great experience, or even about being seen as a company who cares a lot about music or the artists.

They just shove a bunch of music into a giant search engine and do some easily ignorable curation.

But their search works great, easy to play an album, good back catalog on Unlimited (I've been doing a lot of crate digging into the early 2000s using Wikipedia's album catgeory listings and my hit rate between the list and it being in Amazon is about 85%)

The API sucks, playlists have weird limits, their UI is atrocious ... but you can hear what you like, when you like, so I'm happy.
My favorite example of this is GitHub's "convert to draft" link on their PR page. Not only is it flat, it has no indication whatsoever* that it is a link.

* I guess it's possible screen readers can see it is a link
Gnome community means RH/IBM business essentially, they are not the same but came on the same cultural boat, as a result they try to build things to sell, buildings powerless users instead of encouraging learning end evolution. That's is.

Something good was and is done, in a rush of crappy design ideas just to make commercial product as some manager imaging them.

The main issue unfortunately is another: lacking of proper clean and effective desktop GUIs libs aside Qt/G[TD]k witch makes newcomers feeling old systems styles when they see "alternative" WMs/DEs

For me the big thing is that there is now a _written record_ of what happened that I can now reference and think about for as long as I want while looking at the code that produces it, which can really help me figure out what exactly is happening. I have found debuggers to be completely useless for understanding how a series of steps has gone subtly wrong, but very useful for figuring out what the fuck is in some giant object I know nothing about.
All of what you have just said is totally correct. Will be made worse if not is already worse with closed-source software, zero privacy, internet-of-things, artificial intelligence and blockchains as I said before. [0]

Anyone standing in the way of this have failed to stop it entirely and we will end up co-existing with these things in a few years or so.

So it is not a surprise at all to see Norway do this. A new world order of CBDCs, IoT and more invasive tracking, etc led by members of the World Government Summit.

Oh dear.

If you look at dolphins, ichthyosaurs, and sharks you will see another strong example of convergent evolution from very different ancestries. You have to to go back to the first fishes with jaws to find a common ancestor.

Edit: dropped word
It's a proxy war and the simple aim is to inflict as much damage on Russia as possible from a safe distance. There are obvious risks, of course, not least that some career politicians will end up looking foolish, but that hasn't stopped them before.
Why do people jump from "meat" to bugs (which are still meat btw) instead of vegetable proteins like tofu? I'd much rather eat tofu, tempeh, Quorn, etc than bugs.
I think you're one of the few people I've seen complain about the merged layers/objects view... Do you use Inkscape frequently & as an artist, or is it in a different capacity? Is it the principle that annoys you, or just the bugs you mentioned?

I personally welcome the idea a lot, as I don't have to travel 70% of screen distance to swap between layers and objects. In fact, I was using the XML window because of how annoying the old UI was. Also, now its much much easier to organise larger projects into something structured. Previously half the time I would spam send below/above commands on a select object until it popped into place. Now I don't even think about it, it almost just happens because I'm already "in" the place I want my object to be.
OiNK was succeeded by What.CD, which was succeeded by Redacted.ch. The highly refined catalog of music is still there on the right place.
You're already being tracked by the grocery stores, wouldn't it be better to be tracked by someone who at least tries to have your best interests at heart vs. the grocery industry who just wants to sell you more?
Well, virtually anything but Turkish Lira.

I keep dollars and crypto. Real estate isn't a bad option either. Basically anything that's not practically pegged to TL is a good choice in my opinion. And this includes almost anything: foreign currencies, crypto, real estate, cars, gold, stocks (foreign) etc.
Personally, I think it’s an interesting gimmick, but if I’m being honest I wouldn’t say that dealing with color actually limits my ability to think about other things when developing software/games.
Reports show scammers cashing in on crypto craze
Why is different though? Except for americans being our "friends", and us helping them?
The answer is no for stupid solutions like tracking everybody’s meat consumption and a government limiting it. You will be swiftly told to fuck off (and rightly so). You need to get people on your side and contributing without massively changing their lifestyles, instead of alienating them. We need massive reductions in business contributions to climate change and we need investment in current clean energy solutions and investment in further research. The current younger generations already are less well off economically than the last. They shouldn’t have to make further sacrifices for future generations.
In the US we do it already. The insurance companies can themselves define what healthy lifestyle is and they charge you higher premium. Or deny you coverage.

If you have any objection you can take them to the court and face their multi million legal teams.
Inflation is everywhere, it’s not just Turkey
It's nice that they are offering 1 months severance, but still, it's got to be crushing to have an offer rescinded like this.

Does anyone know if there is any value in reporting spam at Fastmail? Are the reports inputs to the training?
I moved out to “pays de mont blanc” after similar reasons (covid and burnout) tho I had more walking and cycling in mind than farming.

Flower and Journey by thatgamecompany are short but masterclasses in telling story.

Limbo and Inside might also fit your definition. They're dark but non violent.

Sackboy, Tearaway and Little big planet do have you defeat some baddies but they're also avoidable for the most part.
Most people don't own land, so rising land prices just make them poorer.
If you don't believe the CEO you can always just IP block them. In my experience they respect "User-agent: * Disallow: /".
There are already ways to do this, you give everyone a “ration card” for 50% off up to N pounds of meat.
these are exceptions

Animal Crossing, Stardew Valley have a lot of great game mechanics and are also about discovery, trade, and building relationships.

Factorio is probably a bit more advanced, but meets your criteria (except for story, maybe). There is a rabbit hole of games like that to go down.

Assassins Creed Origins and Odyssey have “education” modes that are about exploring the world and not murder.

The Mario-plus games (Tennis, Racing, Party) tend to be not violence oriented, are collaborative, but have super hokey stories.

Old school point and click games are definitely up there (Monkey Island, Myst) as people have mentioned.

Ico and Shadow of the Colossus do have violence and battle as central elements, but not in a COD type of way.

A challenge is that most games rely on competition and conflict as core drivers of both the story and the game mechanics. I think something like Tomb Raider could easily minimize conflict while still retaining a lot of really interesting puzzles, game mechanics, and story elements… sometimes playing that game (and uncharted) you feel like a mass murderer with the body counts you rack up. But other games like Metal Gear Solid are designed to allow you to get through them without needing to kill anyone (subdue/knock out though). It’s also hella hard to do that.

Death Stranding is an interesting one to consider as well. There is some violence and extremely dark themes, but aside from the boss battles it’s really minimal on guns and violence.

Ape Escape for PS1 kind-of fits the mold as well - capturing escaped monkeys is a really fun.

Katamari Damacy (spelling?) is really fun as well- you roll up things under your magic rolling ball becomes planet sized.

The Ace Attorney series is also almost entirely narrative and puzzle.
Hollow Knight peaceful? Where did that come from?
And let's not even talk about Valheim which is about slaughtering beasts and monsters.
One of the things I have long wanted in the USA:

An app/website/whatever-service which allows the scanning of a receipt/UPC code - which takes the scan data and the price for ITEM.'

Then allows me to track ITEM $ over time, and between vendors / stores.

Ideally I also want to be able to track ORIGIN, thus if I am tracking the cost of an ITEM which has an ORIGIN of non-US-country, I can track over time the cost of a product that was made over-seas.

The reason this is of interest to me - is I like to see where the inlfation of costs is occurring.

As an example, there is a juice that I like to buy which was $1.34 per half-gallon.

It quickly became $1.50 during the pandemic, pre-gas price hikes etc. It was a product that was standard stock forever, its made in the US, and I am convinced that this item was just price lifted, but not because of economies of delivery...

As compared to a product which , say, comes from Thailand - which is shipped over-the-sea, and there are no price hikes.

This can give you insight into where profits are being harvested.

Additionally, one would do well to know ImportYeti ; a service to examine the source ORIGIN of products that you find which are made in China, in order to get the actual mfr for a product - such that if you want to cut out all middle men, you can contact the factories directly.

Rookie numbers. TSLA moves this much every other week.
It’s not a question of us inconveniencing ourselves today. It’s a question of us and all of our descendants inconveniencing themselves in perpetuity.

Which seems unlikely. The future is long.
Loving Rancher Desktop here too, and even w/o making use of k3s at all. Fantastic drop-in replacement for Docker Desktop w/o the garbage.
We are US incorporated with staff in 14 countries. We use contracts for non-US staff and recently implemented letsdeel. So it looks good. You do not need a legal entity in most countries and in fact there can be significant disadvantages. The accounting management alone is a nightmare if you do it yourself.

Ps most people set up their own company and we contract with that.

Edit: add ps
During my college years I was fortunate to see several live performances of various Shakespeare plays every year, mostly student productions. They were all very good, and provided the context other commentors have mentioned. Back then, Olivier's films were the standard, but I agree with many here that Branagh's productions nail it every time and for me come close to the experience of a live performance. I was a Humanities major who concentrated on Medieval and Renaissance history and culture, so familiarity with Shakespeare was required. But I enormously enjoyed it, especially the classical references. My own Latin and Greek were embarrassingly weak, and remain so to this day. Sadly, I'll no longer be able to comfort myself with the mistaken notion that the Bard shared that shortcoming.
You weren't able to find if most murderers vote Democrat or Republican? Doesn't that make you doubt if you're able to find anything at all? Should you even be talking about any of this if you can't even do that?
Not so fast if you’ve already moved on and not in Germany anymore. I’ve tried it, even set up an online fax number in 2021 to communicate with them, but there’s no real resolution.

Also German post won’t properly forward mail anyway and to me it’s a foreign country to which I don’t intend to return, so I’ll probably just let it go and treat it as resolved.
The clown of drunk driving senator families and clowns.

It honestly sounds like a drunken conversation. "Hey you there, bees are fish man, we're all FROM fish."
I'm not sure what you mean by offensive generalisation. If you were in charge of saving Ukranians' lives, could you have done things differently from what has been done? Instead of provoking your much stronger neighbour for decades in false believe of security, could you maybe have made decisions that would lead to a less precarious situation? I think so. It would have been better for all Ukranians if this war didn't happen. Would their general freedom suffer? Probably, but at least it wouldn't be as bad as now.

EDIT: Ok I see now what you took offensively. Most of us Westeners I should have wrote. Most regulars peoples' attention as example diverted much more to the case of Johny Depps' Trial than to the war in Ukraine.
Addiction / dopamine
This. Also Ethan Carter and Everybody’s Gone to the Rupture.
The US/NATO/Europe are not really thrilled with countries waging war with their neighbors; especially long campaigns with lots of civilian death and destruction. And Russia has a lot of neighbors that could be next.

It's a lot cheaper to supply weapons to Ukraine to fight Russia than to fight Russia directly. And clearing out the old stockpiles is good for the companies that are making new stockpiles. If this war turns out to be a big waste of time and materiel and lives for Russia, maybe they don't do it again in the near future; maybe other countries with plans for border expansion see the results and don't do it in the near future either. (OTOH, maybe they see this and figure out air superiority and combined arms operations are important and work on that capability so they can get from invasion to occupation quickly)
Not by a long shot:

It seems like the basic trick here is setting boundaries. It’s broader than EA, but some formulations of EA (and utilitarianism in general) seem to advocate for not setting boundaries; consider Pete Singer’s drowning child thought experiment and how he advocates for treating everyone in the world as having an equal claim on your time and money.

I think that practically speaking, setting boundaries is important and a philosophy that doesn’t take that into account is a bad philosophy. Real world organizations set boundaries all the time; that’s what budgeting is.

But boundaries still seem philosophically suspect due to their arbitrariness: why give 10%, say, and not some other number? Does someone have a philosophical answer for people struggling with this?
Music is included in Apple One Premier along with TV, News, Fitness, Arcade, and 2TB iCloud Drive. All these things integrate well within the Apple ecosystem and family sharing. One Premier is honestly one of the best value subscriptions in tech today.

However, I do think it’s anti-competitive. Spotify, for example, has absolutely no possible way to get my business until and unless my entire family were to ditch Apple.

I don’t like the Music UI but I’ve come to understand how to use it and it no longer bothers me.
These are vanity purchases that have nothing to do with ROI or stockholder interest. It’s like buying a vanity license plate. There’s no ROI. Probably some exec is a fan of that particular sports team and get it in their mind to buy the naming rights to claim himself “biggest fan ever”
Nobody should want war, war is hell for all who see it up close, even when it’s the only way to keep your friends and family safe from a greater horror; yet from this far away, the only thing I fear is that Russian nukes might not be as badly maintained as their tanks.
You haven't eaten your five-a-day fruit and veg - more tax on your chocolate. Oh, you haven't reached your 10000 steps today either - more tax.
No, the games stack up. Every Monday we get 2 new games, and all the prior games stay on the device. A Playdate has 4GB, and games are pretty small, so there’s lots of room. Panic has this documented — https://sdk.play.date/1.11.1/Inside%20Playdate.html#_game_si...

You can delete games and then download them again. Panic fully supports sideloading games, too.

Crypto.com 24h trading volume is ~$400m, so they're doing $175B in trading volume every ~450 days. By those metrics, the sponsorship deal doesn't seem unreasonable? Clearly they're not getting $400m in incremental volume as a result of the sponsorship but over 20 years the ROI is in the right magnitude. It's also notable that retail traders (the target audience of a sports sponsorship) are the most lucrative and pay the highest fees.
imho this decicions also heavily depends on the topic of your startup.

I use Krita for painting, but for illustrations I tend to use Inkscape. Sometimes I'll sketch in Krita and then redraw it Inkscape. I wouldn't really use Kira for vector graphics (you can, but it's not really that ergonomic).
Ok, very cool, but please get back to the original argument about analog vs digital audio.
What Remains of Edith Finch is a pretty amazing ~3 hour experience. It’s not necessarily violent but it has dark themes so I would read a synopsis to see if your kids are ready for it.

The Life is Strange series is pretty good as well.
The calculation is "not making the donation would have meant he valued his life at 4,000 times that of a stranger". That doesn't follow from the "expected value perspective".

The "4000" is swapped, slight-of-hand like, between unequal, orthogonal values. One is the number of people who donate a kidney, the other is the value of a human life. It's counting 4000 apples and then saying "I got 4000 oranges". It's the old switcheroo, and it means nothing.

Btw, you say "From an expected value perspective, one person donating a kidney is like 1/4000th of this."

"Of this" what? What is "one person donating a kidney" 1/4000'th of? I am asking because I honestly have no idea what you mean. Sorry if my tone sounds combative, but in this I'm just confused.

I could. I'm (relatively luckily, I admit) living in the most modern-minded minority in Turkey and have fully remote software jobs paid in dollars. That + having all my family, many friends here and some hobbies/lifestyle that would be hard/impossible if I moved, outweigh the advantages of migrating for now.

But at some point I'd definitely consider.
Turkey is a dictatorship, no?
Good point, added that to the list of requirements in the original post. I am asking myself the same question.
Full Throttle is one of my favorite games of all time but there is a fair bit of gunplay and a scene that gets revisited several times where a man beats an elderly man to death with his own cane

If you’re OK with that though the Lucasarts point and click games are really good.
