In my experience, things aren't that simple. For example, if you start a company in Country A but you are the main decision maker and live in Country B, then Country B may try to claim primary taxation of the company based on the fact that they consider the company being 'effectively run' from inside their borders despite your incorporation. And you aren't going to read about this kind of stuff on forums because it is very situation specific.

Multi-country taxation is very complicated. You can get a general idea from asking online, but then you REALLY need to talk to an expert in those specific countries unless your business is just so small that the governments involved would never care.

If you don't want to do that, the best/simplest situation is almost certainly incorporating in the place where the founders actually live permanently.
The dystopian part is that all of the modern centralized services tend to evolve in spying and manipulating wannabe monopolists.
Exactly, I don't know why we are focusing on meat while we all know that energy and business emissions are more important, it looks like its an intentional distraction from big oil, and to give Norway's government more spying powers.
Tangent: The Witness is an outstanding non-violent game as well, but unfortunately for recs here, doesn't fit due to lack of story.
If looking at percentage of the whole, there are a lot of companies tied for the "win" at ~100%.
CRYPTO IS A FUCKING SCAM

There are so many proper applications of blockchain that could improve humanity and provide value to customers and instead these shitheads create NFTs.

"But the US dollar is fiat" they will say, "what's the difference?!"

Gee, I dunno, the fact that the US Government backs it? All central banks use it? It's the reserve currency of the world? Any currency that isn't backed by a government or was widely used before there was a government (gold, for example) is a goddamn scam and I'm sick of it.
For now, but not much longer in Norway, if the various governmental players get their way.
Fantastic! It's like this administration is trying to kill the poorest people.
What skin and visualizer are you using?
You can choose to pay more taxes/fees at least, people already do that for certain things that are designed to nudge people to behave properly (e.g. pay 10 cents for a bag to encourage you to bring reusable bags and some people just don't care). Sin taxes are not new things.
That misses the point.
1 month is no where near enough. Folks probably left money on the table at the previous job to join Coinbase and now are going to be at a significant disadvantage negotiating for their next position.
Oh, forgot to add that my brother is also an MD resident ;) Although he’s doing opthamology :/
Might be a bubble, but I paid off my student loan and a car by investing in bitcoin. I’m certainly glad I ended up on the right side of the bubble.
Can you expand on why you think performance hacking degrades correctness? As I understand it, “yes” (with no arguments) is supposed to output “y\n” continuously until terminated. Throughout/latency are unspecified, admitting various implementations with various concerns, like GNU’s focus on throughout vs BSD’s focus on latency/simplicity. Even an implementation that took 10 seconds between each output could be desirable for some use cases! Is that version of “yes” less correct?
The thing with profiling tools is that they're more focused on the details than the big picture at the system level. I'll definitely be using flame graphs more though, thanks for the tip. Also you are absolutely right about waiting for others to make the tools, but sometimes the tools don't exist for a good reason that I wouldn't have realized otherwise.
The Germans requiring everything on paper with people witnessing signatures is of course rather silly, but whether it takes 3 weeks to form a company or 3 days is ultimately not going to be a real difference. I think the thing here is more that American companies have trouble handling non American companies and hence the flip. I sold a Dutch B.V. to an American company once except they didn't want to buy the company because they didn't understand it and instead we ended up selling the assets and taking a tax hit.

Also if you are in the EU you can just start an Estonian company and run that in Germany
Grocery stores who track me are subject to the pressures of competitive enterprise. The government is not.

And that's to say nothing of the fact that, at least in the US, about 50% of the entire population at any given time tend NOT to believe that the government has their best interest in mind
> 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.

You mean opening a bank account personally or for the company? Because for the company I'd simply use Wise or Mercury and be done with it.
This must exist in some places now. I once got a discount in Sales Tax in Honduras (about 1%) for paying with my credit card instead of cash in a restaurant.
Solution looks problematic if you want to hire a team in germany (since the deel shdnt work with regular staff). If you stay lean it sounds interesting. Waiting for the next article 'why you shd not hire people on a C corp owned by UG'.
Perhaps I'm biased, because I'm from a country (Poland) that's actually actively protected by the US from a murderous dictator (Putin). Even when Poland was on her knees in the early ninetiess, the US never tried to install their dicator here, but instead actively promoted democracy and protected us from Russians. The only benefit that US takes from that is that Poland became a part of the global trade network, we pay for US companies for their intellectual property (i.e. piracy is no longer legal) etc.
Games really, really need something to solve this. I can't tell you the number of games I've had to start over.
>Also the amount of equity sold by the CFO at the public listing indicated little confidence in the long term prospects.

Where do you find this information? I'm really new to this. Is it using stock charts or something similar?
Isn't that kind of a meaningless comparison then?

As I said, it is not the kind of pollution one expects when talking about auto pollution.

They might as well be claiming that tires produce infinitely more steel belt waste as that is also not something one expects to talk about coming out of the tail pipe.

I think focusing on 30 pounds of rubber rather than 18 metric tons of CO2 is a distraction.
Does rr require debug builds? Like if I took a random executable on Linux and used rr record, would rr replay work?
Sounds unreliable. You ever try that?

I mean, Norway should be one of the most Democratic countries, so it should have an effect, but it will probably not since its protests against giving them more power.
In theory no, they have election and he / his party has lost elections "recently", notably the mayoral election in ankara and istanbul. He even cancelled and ordered the redo of one of those elections because he didn't like the result (in a not so legal way), but his party still lost it and they did let the transition of power happen.

In practice the fairness of national elections are in doubt, but more importantly Erdogan willingness to leave office if he loses is the big unknown. Given that he has purged all institutions, including the army, to only have his people everywhere, what happens if he refuses could go from Trump "but at the end he still had to go because enough people kept their sanity" all the way to lukashenko "and then he stopped pretending there were elections".
Is there a list that includes those folks?
The money quote:

> At $50 an hour, a well-trained, passionate and committed person might be able to onboard four customers an hour. That’s $12.50 to protect the $300 to $800 (or more) it cost you to earn that customer’s trial in the first place.
The ideological left push us more and more towards a dystopic future. Which doesn't seem very distant.
Compared with taxes, at least this way everyone gets the same amount of meat independent of how wealthy they are.
Maybe so, but do laws really count for much in this country anymore?

I don't necessarily disagree in principle, but I think what you're saying will be very hard or impossible.

Those "business contributions to climate change" exist because they're producing goods that consumers want; you can't significantly reduce that without also affecting consumer lifestyles, by reducing the options for the number of goods, or making them more expensive.

Further research in clean energy is all very nice, but that's what I've been hearing for 25 years, and if we look at what has actually been accomplished then I think it's a pretty big gamble to bet that "further research" will all make things work out.

The last 100 years or so have been quite exceptional in many ways; I think the expectation that younger generations will have it at least as good as the previous one is just not realistic.
SWIM also carefully avoids electronically paying for tobacco because that info, despite the theoretical separation, may be golden to insurance corps..
"While we did not make this decision lightly..." Yes but you aren't doing it humanely, either.

I've been through the dot com crash and several hard economic downturns. It really puts your company's humanity on full display. It's the real test.

Preserving cash flow is important. But you also have to do things carefully, openly, and with genuine care for the people who've believed in your vision.

People will respect the hard decisions but not sloppy or careless execution.
Some people also win the lottery. But I would hardly call it a sound investment.
Xcode seems very YMMV. I’ve been using it day in and day out for years now and it’s seldom irritating, particularly now that dependencies can be handled with Xcode alone thanks to Swift Package Manager (Cocoapods suuuucks). On average I find Android Studio and Visual Studio (the Windows IDE, not the editor) more consistently frustrating.
You say this now. How will you feel as your body gradually breaks down, and you stare into the void?
They spent 3 slides on UFOs, 36, 37, 38. I wonder what the context of that is ("remember the CIA hid the aliens?"), and what the presenter said.
Album art etc. is supplementary to the music - I don't need to see it on a square piece of cardboard to "appreciate" it.

An original artwork is just that - best when the original is viewed. A CD, Tape, or Vinyl is in no way "the original".
El Salvador does this too for business to business receipts. It doesn't include item descriptions though, only totals.

Yes, indeed, it would be problematic if they lost the hashes as well. I'm just imagining that it'd be easier to ensure there is redundancy on something like hashes which would not require as much storage to duplicate.

Minor improvement, not a full-blown solution.
Oh there's plenty of companies that have lost more than 100% of their value. If you go from a positive value to a negative value (e.g. you have outstanding liabilities that cannot be discharged), that's a >100% reduction in value.

One good example would be old mining companies that went bankrupt. Their value cratered to zero, AND now the corporate overlords that ended up acquiring them are spending neverending millions of dollars spent to clean up Superfund sites decade after decade. There are some liabilities that simply cannot be discharged.
You should look up "Dairy is scary" on YouTube then (promise, it's worth it!). Being a vegetarian has much less impact than one might think.
You might be relegated to stepping through disassembled machine code. I was able to use rr with a home made JIT compiler, stepping through JIT’d instructions. So I see no reason why you can’t at least get that experience with a production binary.
> You're already being tracked by the grocery stores

With cash and no store "loyalty" app - no.

But this is not the case here.
I do not work for Spotify. The following are a bunch of educated guesses based on how 'old standard concepts' drift towards 'new concepts'.

1. They test their UI with their target users (assumes they have a handle on who pays $$$ for the service besides ad revenue)

2. People who just want functionality are not a high percentage of users or use cases

3. A good number of users/use cases value visual feedback via simple, larger imagery over condensed information displays (condensed displays are also harder to design well)

4. There are halo and competitive effects, and all apps of a certain class end up looking alike and imitating each other's visual languages and decisions, with design gradually drifting towards a new set of rules that become 'standard'.
How does surveilling them and then coming to them with assistance increase their trust? Seems like it would decrease trust. I mean I distrust a lot of government functions, and would trust them less in that case.
Nope. Asm, then later Pascal quickly followed by C. Later I had to take a "Numerical Methods" course that required FORTRAN, but my only gleaning from that torture was "never again".
>tracked by someone who at least tries to have your best interests at heart

I don't know if that was sarcasm or you being really naive.
Inkscape is one of those programs that I have a love/hate relationship with.

I’m not a heavy user; when I use it, I’m coming at as a novice, usually with a specific task in mind and I find that I might as well have Inkscape open on half the screen and Google open on the other half as I have to search for how to do anything. Once I find it, it works fine, but the UI seems the exact opposite of approachable for me. (It feels in many regards like Gimp was 10 years ago; I have no idea if Gimp got better because I gave up on it with enough good alternatives. Inkscape is better than that, but it gives me the same feeling of “does this really need to be this hard to import a multi-color SVG and make a slight touch up?”)
It's presented adversarialy, but perhaps there are practical applications for this technique, even at the short distances.
The comments objecting to this are bizarre.

In the predatory capitalist US, the number of private companies- not subject to any real regulation, or supervision, or action on the part of citizens- that have exactly this data and more numbers literally in the thousands.

And while a lot of attention is paid to government data collection, it is very hard for various parts of the government in the US to get this information for administrative purposes- as distinct from criminal investigations- and even if government could, it would serve no purpose because except for policing, education, highway maintenance, delivery of mail and healthcare for military veterans, US government entities perform virtually no services.

In Norway, which has extremely high quality of life and a very competent government that runs things like a sovereign wealth fund to the express and explicit benefit of citizens, where the goals of data collection are further improvement of quality of life, the intent and capacity of delivery for which by the government is proven over and over again-

IOW, to be concerned about data collection by an entity that over and over again has demonstrated its competence, especially in the context of alternatives like the US-

WTF are people thinking.
I personally find it to be true.

Apple Music has a feature based on iTunes Match that will take your local files and attempt to match them based on their metadata and audio fingerprint.

The last time I used it, from my (then) ~5000 song library, it matched ~3600. That means that a good third of the music I listen to is not available in the same exact version on streaming services.

I dug into why, and reasons include:

- The LPs were never licensed properly. Such as Exmilitary by Death Grips, which is a bootleg release with copyright issues.

- The artist hasn't signed up for streaming, like it used to be the case with Tool. Or they only stream on one platform and not another. Dr. Dre and Jay-Z come to mind. All three artists I mentioned in this bullet are "really mainstream."

- The version I like is not the streaming release. I like the casette version of Ashes 2 Ashes, Dust 2 Dust by Tommy Wright III, but not the CD reissue.

- The artist is actually too niche. I have quite a few things in my collection from Bandcamp or Soundcloud that don't exist elsewhere.

- The release is "weird." Like the radio stations from the classic GTA games.
There’s nothing specialized about incorporating in Wyoming. And it takes minutes without a lawyer. The amount of paperwork is ridiculously low compared to Delaware. Last I recall Delaware has a minimum $500/year registration fee, more depending on outstanding shares. Not Wyoming.
I've looked into the UK multiple times and it definitely sounds very attractive. It seems that OnlyFans and Hopin (https://hopin.com/) were both started as UK LTDs. Downsides (as you mention) are probably access to US investors and potentially issues with VAT because of Brexit.

Just out of curiosity - did you experience any issues selling to EU customers because of Brexit?

This was the case in Sweden as well (probably the rest of Scandinavia too, but I don’t know for certain off the top of my head).
So it's purposely to destroy gasoline cars? Sounds pretty wasteful for the environment to take all of these existing cars out, replace them with EVs, and dump the requirements into the electric grid.

So what, we need 300m new EVs, and a place to tear down all the current gas cars in America? Perfect, I'll buy a Tesla so Elon gets richer.
"One aspect which has not yet been focused upon is that in modern Smalltalks (forget about the block-fiddling in ST-80) exceptions are proceedable. This means, that the exception handler may decide to repair some malfunction and continue execution after the point where the original exception was raised."

Something farmers who are now inherently dependent on synthetics forgot is that plants can form soil on their own. Plants use deep root systems and can send up to half their glucose into the soil to build up organic matter in the soil. Bacteria and fungi digest the glucose and create small pores in clay soil which lets water infiltrate instead of washing nutrients away at the top. Droughts are rarely the result of a lack of water, they are the result of poor water retention.

The point is that plants are capable of terraforming the planet on their own. It isn't even a slow process if humans help the plants do their job.
Lightmatter is a great first person puzzler that I haven't seen anyone here mention. The story is good enough, and if I remember correctly, told through audio recordings you pick up along the way. Non-violent, but you can die. I really liked the art style

Creature in the Well is a pretty fun adventure/breakout/pinball game. Light story. There is some conflict, but it's about as violent as pinball

Probably not for the kiddos, but Little Nightmares is great. The story is entirely told through ambience, which is dark and creepy. A sequel came out recently, but I haven't played it
I have a feeling no programming language would ever be used anywhere if we were just as strict with other aspects besides "having decent IDE and debugger"
Seconding this! Broken Age is a really solid adventure game that got a bit of a bad rap because of Kickstarter delays etc. It's a (dual) coming of age story that kept my partner and I fully engaged, and my partner has pretty high standards for a good story. I think it would be great for kids.
Yeah but in the modern world you often don't have any of that except a laptop or two, and even they are often personal devices in a small start-up.

I founded a start-up with a friend and we had zero assets - just Office 365, AWS, managed office and personal devices.

But this is not what is happening in Norway, isn't it? There's no alternative offer on the table, there's not even an invitation to propose an alternative, there's no opt out, only govt wanting to get deeper into private people's business.
> I never filed yearly accounts for the UG so afr, the first two years you don't have to.

Could you provide a source for this claim?

In a best-case scenario, where you have founded your company on Jan 1 2021, you so far would have still had to

- hand in your initial balance sheet at the time of founding

- hand in your Umsatzsteuervoranmeldung every month.

Moreover, you will definitely have to

- hand in your Umsatzsteuererklärung, Körperschaftsteuererklärung, Gewerbesteuererklärung (all for 2021) by 31.07.2022

- send your "electronic tax balance sheet" (Elektronische Steuerbilanz / eBilanz) for 2021 to the tax authorities by 31.07.22

- set up your balance sheet for 2021 by 31.06.22 and send it to Bundesanzeiger by 31.12.22
Chaos mode works quite well in my experience, definitely worth trying if you don't want to wait for days.

I had a heisenbug which would appear once a week, and that I couldn't trigger on my workstation. Chaos mode did the trick.
I tried podman compose quite a few months ago with my docker compose file and it failed, what is the difference between doing that and this?

So like, you can use docker compose for podman instead of docker, instead of something like podman compose?
This sounds like an argument that C++ isn't RAII.
I hope they go under.
Although I understand and agree with what people are pointing to here, it's too easy to get carried away with the "welcome to 1984" fatalism. Life does not have a "last page", like in a book. In a story, the last page lasts forever, but in the real world it does not. In the real world we get to see things get really bad, and then we see them get better, then bad again, ad infinitum.

When people have nothing left to loose, that's where real change happens.
But rr does squash all your threads into a single virtual cpu core. It context–switches between them, but ultimately only one of them is running at a time. This makes it hard to capture some kinds of bugs. To compensate it also has a chaos mode that randomly stops switching between the threads fairly (starving some and giving others more than their fair share) in the hopes of triggering those same bugs.

For most uses rr is a major win, but for race conditions it sometimes doesn’t help.
