I cancelled my spotify subscription after they banned libspotify from working in May. I was using it in Mopidy using the Iris plugin to get this nice table of songs. Now I'm spending my subscription fee on MP3s to grow my local MP3 collection and curating local playlists in Iris just like the olden days. So far so good.

Is it a possible for a solo founder in Germany to register an Estonian Business?
I had the impression (althought i'm not sure about it and would happily be corrected) you would need to apply for e-residency and need a local contact person for bookkeeping + banking. With the yearly costs being higher than just going for a Gewerbe / UG + local (german) tax advisor.

Would having a "foreign" company have any disadvantages comparing to a german company?
Perhaps Germany makes more official requests because of their privacy laws, whereas in America the government simply buys people's data on the open market without having to go through official channels, get warrants, etc?
This is precisely right. Another point is that separation of storage and compute is decisively the right architecture for the cloud. Large cloud providers build their own implementation of this architecture which fragments the ecosystem. Having a canonical open source implementation just makes sense.
Global imo not the USA. US is not a net importer of food, but an exporter. Most of the imported food can be grown in the states also three of the top four food imports to the US are used for/are beverages i.e. wine, coffee, and malt beverages. Also the reason why so much money went into ethanol research is because of the massive corn wastage that happens every year. Maybe the US should crank up food export, but demand is for wheat not corn.
Wow. I cannot believe it's already been 6 years. Time truly flies.
I’m not really seeing a significant semantic difference between “inflation rose by 73%” and “inflation increases to 73%”

The latter puts the focus in a slightly different place, but they both seem to communicate the same essential fact, so I don’t see why the latter would be more accurate than the former?

What am I missing?

Edit: never mind, I understand now. “By” would be referred to a percent raise in the rate of change of inflation
There's a long tradition of just naming things what they are. ed (editor) vi (visual) and emacs (editor macros) all stem from this.

They're shorter, but when they were released (70s for all of them), there was a 6 character limit on a lot of systems for command names.

Or do you mean why is there a space in the name? That would be annoying for launching from the terminal, I can see that.
This is fascinating and I’ve long ‘fantasized’ about living that kind of life. A few questions, if you indulge me:

- What prompted you to make that switch to rural developer?

- Are you an expat or French? If an expat, what was your pre-France life like?

- What is cost of living like, and how does that compare with your salary?

- Does/did your salary get affected by your remote location?

Insulin sensitivity and resistance are a non-issue if combining HGH with a low carb diet (such as keto) and fasting.
I picked The Beatles because it's "hard", but also because it's the most likely candidate to have all of the metadata populated (including instruments). And it's a perfect example of why a gigantic database that tries too hard to please the 'train spotters' with catalog numbers and barcodes, is not suitable for someone who has the album version of a song and just wants to tag it. What normal person knows/cares what a release group is?

Edit: "You probably want to find a release of that release group that closely matches your files". And this is why you can't just point it at your library and let it go. You need to shepherd it at every turn or it'll screw things up. I've used countless auto-taggers over the years (all of which pull from MusicBrainz) and I've never had decent results. These days I tag manually. Most of it's already done, so I just have to handle the new stuff, and sometimes update old stuff (add instruments that 'stand out', update ratings etc).
My guess would be if that was to fend off PKK attacks then the police batons and riot shields wouldnt have been brought along. Theyre not much use against bomb planters.
It also doesn’t “keep” as well (which is why you should burn non-oxy premium in small engines if you can’t get normal non oxy; or fully drain/run dry your lawn mower at the end of the season).

Before you run out to get some growth hormone, you should be aware that metformin seems to extend health span and life span quite effectively alone.

“Water down the fuel” is pretty close to true and, at a minimum, more true than false. The energy per gallon of ethanol is around 2/3 that of gasoline, so the more ethanol you mix into a gallon of auto fuel sold at retail, the more “watered down” that fuel is.

Ethanol is also hygroscopic and the resulting blended fuel is nowhere near as shelf/tank stable as a pure gasoline fuel, resulting in more service/repairs. (I have to change/clean carbs on my lawn mower/snow blower at least every other season if I leave any ethanol mixed fuel in it. That sometimes, but much more rarely, happens with pure gasoline, even E0 regular auto fuel.)
You are right. Creating a Public Limited Company is 25000€, but you can create a Limited Company instead for ~€300 (including VAT)
Nowadays it is 12,5 and it becomes the capital of the company which you can use to buy infrastructure and for the payroll.
Like what? Notary and bank, sure, that's a requirement. Tax consultabt? Unless you want to do your own accounting you need one, easy enough to send invoices and bank statements once per month. Every company needs accountants to keep the books. I do it once per quarter now for the basically dead UG, it just exists as an empty shell for now.

Regardless of jurisdiction, the bureaucracy will be there. Someone would want you to pay taxes after all.

[You're technically wrong, now let me explain the ways in which you're basically correct.]
While you can quickly set up the legal entity, getting a tax number can take months (https://www.selbststaendig.de/wissen/steuernummer-beantragen). The last time we set up a company in Germany it took more than 6 weeks to get a tax number.
Macbeth is probably one of the more accessible Shakespearean tragedies. There are also many good film versions including the latest on with Denzel Washington and Frances McDormand. Personally, I'd recommend watching one of the films before reading it.
>Why? What's the worst thing that could happen from poor quality input? Unreliable scores? These reviews don't mean or do anything in the real world

If you are actually operating under the assumption that the output doesn't matter at all, then implementing the review system in the first place is a waste of effort, let alone any features thereof. But assuming that we do care about the output, its quality does matter.

>There's also no evidence that there would be enough poor quality inputs to make a meaningful impact on scores.

In pretty much the same way that there's no evidence that any given new website needs to worry about sql injection.
I can sometimes touch buttons on my iPhone screen without actually touching them, at a distance of a few millimeters.
You're narrowmindedly cherry picking data.

Before 2022, we were listening about ukranians shelling russian settlements in ukraine. Ukraine had a nazi problem, Azov was nazis, and even the mainstream media said it: https://i.imgur.com/mRAaOo0.jpg Now they're acting as if none of this has ever happened.

On the other hand, we've let and activelly helped americans to the same thing to many, many different countries, lied about weapons of mass destruction, destroyed afghanistan for hiding obama in pakistan while bombing pakistani weddings while not being at war with them, plus of course syria, libya, etc. Now US troops are entering somalia. I live in a small EU country with a shitty almost non-existant army, and even we had soldiers in afghanistan (and still have them in eg. syria and lebanon). Yugoslavia was bombed for 78 days for doing the same as ukranians were doing to russian minorties, and civilian targets were intentionally chosen for the bombings.

Yes, the mainstream media is guilty of saying one thing until day X, and changing their narrative from day X+1.

> Dictator’s propaganda channel is removed from distribution?

You are aware that all of the media is just propaganda? CNN is propaganda, BBC is propaganda, and RT is propaganda. If we didn't ban the news outlets saying that iraq has WMDs, why are we banning RT? If RT saying that ukranians are nazis, why are we not banning all the mainstream media outlets from here: https://i.imgur.com/mRAaOo0.jpg ?

> It does make it much easier to understand the Americans who in 1939 were saying “Hitler is not our problem — at least he’s not a communist — look at the good job he’s done cleaning up the radical left — the press is out to get him — why should we hurt our own economy by not trading with Germany?”

Lets be fair.. for most of the world, americans are the largest problem for peace in their area. Russians are at worst, second, depending on how you look at saudi arabia vs yemen and israel vs palestine conflicts.
> Did anyone expect otherwise?

In a sense, yes. In case you don't speak German, the article [0] touches on this:

> Dass Telegram überhaupt Auskunft über Nutzer an Behörden erteilt, markiert zumindest eine vorsichtige Kehrtwende im Kurs des 2013 gegründeten Unternehmens. Lange bekamen deutsche Ermittler keinerlei Antworten, wenn sie wissen wollten, wer hinter Telegram-Konten steckt, die strafbare Inhalte im Netz verbreiten. Die Betreiber erklären auf ihrer Seite weiterhin: »Bis zum heutigen Tag haben wir 0 Byte Nutzerdaten an Dritte weitergegeben, einschließlich aller Regierungen.«

In a nutshell, this is considered a turning point because Telegram's official stance is (even today) that they don't share data, not even with any government. And now they did, apparently. So yes, this definitely news, if not a bit surprising.

The German government has even made hints that they will seek to ban Telegram from app stores if they continue to refuse to comply with law enforcement [1]

I believe that too. It also happens in games. Magazine can drool over infinite beauty of in game screenshots, while playing I see near nothing of all this (even though I'm fully aware of the acrobatics involved). It's a low usefulness quest for its own sake.

Branagh's Henry V and Polanski's Macbeth were my gateway.

Don't miss the 1995 Richard III adaptation with Sir Ian McKellen. The 2004 film version of The Merchant of Venice is also worth seeing, if only for Al Pacino and Jeremy Irons.
You might be interested in the "Public Money, Public Code" campaign of the Free Software Foundation in Europe (FSFE).

https://publiccode.eu/

In my experience with government organizations, the argument that public tax money should be used for public/free re-usable software instead of funding proprietary development (essentially subsidizing R&D of foreign corporations), really strikes a nerve on all administrative levels.
No because Spotify needs to turn its music catalog listeners into (proprietary) podcast listeners. Possibly proprietary playlists/recommendation radio streams as well. Same reason why Netflix pushes originals over licensed content.

It's incredibly annoying but haven't yet heard a compelling reason to switch to apple music.
Yeah, it's pretty goofy, isn't it? They also want to replace gnome-terminal with gnome-console which has this same look and feel, but is considered "lighter" and "cleaner" than gnome-terminal despite there being no objective indication that either of these is true. I guess the Linux user base is now dominated by people who care very greatly whether their terminal is normal or reversed or transparent, and not very much at all about anything else.

Oh, forgot about that... VAT numbers as well. Go through a tax cobsutancy and it is faster, did that twice.

I see this as being seperate from incorporating so, as everyone is affected by slow tax authorities.
This is ridiculous. The wars are incredibly different in literally every way.

Every war has horrible tragedies and innocent lives lost or harmed, but to suggest invading a stable democracy to annex it is even remotely the same as supporting a locally led uprising against a murderous dictator like in Syria is absurd and offensive.
Its "gnome-text-editor" very simple and SEO friendly.
Future historians will hopefully be able to decouple the pandemic economic-shutdown effect from the war effect.

We were told food prices would skyrocket after border controls were implemented in 2020/1.

Russia definitely screwed the world with the war and energy costs though.
The "blending" of corn with gas is an example of how the government routinely makes policies that are bad for everybody except some politically influential special interest. In this case, corn farmers in Iowa who have excessive political influence because Iowa is always the first state to vote for presidential nominees.

This is yet another reason why we need to get special interest money out of politics and why all presidential primaries should be held on the same day. If Iowa wasn't the first state in the presidential nomination process (and thus able to make or break presidential campaigns), no presidential candidate would need to pander to their corn farmer lobby.
I was just saying their perspective would "prove it" assuming you and the other person's personal experiences are both valid. But you are making the assumption that it's invalid and your own experience is the only one you can trust as valid. I'm not saying this particularly commenter's experience is hard proof of anything, but it's not hard to find enough perspectives from other people to convince yourself that caste discrimination is likely to be a real problem. The rest of the comment probably bears re-reading on your part. P(N people with perspectives different from your experience are all liars) < P(perspectives different from your experience can be true)

Also writing qed at the end of your comment doesn't make it a rigorous proof, lol. Like, you've already failed to understand the basic concept of sampling bias.
Yeah. I dont know. I guess Ireland is irish's. Also it is managed by Irish government. We need a place that will grow into a federal europe. Something like that.
> EU feels it needs to demonstrate that it is willing to experience at least some discomfort in order to prevent Russian aggression.

The problem here is... are we really stopping the conflict by eg. banning import of russian oil? Russia is just exporting it to eg. India and China, them having cheaper oil is making their economies stronger, russia still gets the money, and europes economy is going down. So, we're hurting our economy to not hurt the russian one while helping china and india.
So does the word ‘beta’
Keep in mind legacy medias (like the New Yorker) revenues came from selling adds.

Social Networking (and tech companies like Google) are competitors to these guys. And are gaining market shares unlike these legacy medias.
No, that’s why I mentioned using the mic.
Yes. The timing of this is… utterly absurd.
Onions are high in sulfur, which is quite reactive with metals. Probably related to how it works.
"dApps" or whatever they're called are a ghost town. None currently exist that are truly decentralized or have a value greater than traditional applications.

Decentralization is also possible and functions better with tokens (e.g. Bittorrent).
No. You know what employees want:

1. Money (especially time and a half for overtime)

2. Autonomy

3. Clear requirements

4. Realistic deadlines

5. No meetings that could be emails

6. No more powerpoint

7. Remote work (or at least private offices if onsite work is absolutely necessary)

Gifts -- especially stuff branded with the corporate logo -- aren't going to cut it.

It's pretty graphic (nothing for the kids), but also came to my mind immediately.
You’re likely going to have to establish “business entities” in each county - but if you’re working with VC/other firms I’d say defaulting to US - California would be the most known.
I find it kind of odd that there is no canonical, "POSIX" location for TLS host certificate. In lower parts of Web3/CSS/TLS/TCP/IP, there is /etc/resolv.conf, /var/log/messages, /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key, so on and forth, but not "/etc/hostname.pub" that Apache and nginx from ideal parallel world both looks up by default, or DHCP Option 666 "local certificate issuer IP address". I was just bored enough to watch someone setup Solaris on QEMU and that makes me think had SUNW existed today that's definitely how they would have done it.

But no, it's in wherever path specified in /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/virtualhost12345.conf, which can be /etc/letsencrypt/whatever/subdirectory/hostname.pem or /usr/ssl/certs/dynamic_file_name.cer, and in many other cases it's whatever that `docker exec stout_kaltsit cat /ssl-cert-private.key` yields. No one even agrees on whether it sits in /etc or /usr or /var or somewhere mapped deep down.

The whole TLS is just a hindrance that throws error that needs to be hastily cleared when encountered because the Web server stack is bunch of afterthoughts and that's what is showing.

Interesting! I didn't know that syntax, I've been doing print argv[0], print argv[1], etc all this time.
I'm neither a racist nor a bigot, I'm trying to move past the significance of race by addressing it head on and I've had working relationships and friendships with both groups of people which is why I hold the viewpoints that I do about the seemingly paradoxical nature of the discussion.

But I guess you just proved my initial point, and you're right: we won't because you resort to accusations without answering difficult questions.

> What are the cliff notes, because every time I bring this up here one gets accused of being a bigot and missing the nuances of what is essentially nepotism and racism that gets a pass because A: Indians make up an inordinate amount of CEOs in Tech, and B: Well, we've always done this and anything deviation from this brings everything else into question.

It's 1€ (or more on your choice, usually ~100€) in Germany, if you go with a UG instead.

You also don't "pay" 25k, it's more like your GmbH has to have constant reserves of 25k used in case of an insolvency. Through this means:

1. It's not limited "cash", but can also include e.g. a bought office room, machinery or even resources (it just must always be equal or above 25k at any point in time eve if the company also has 50k dept) (through I'm not sure if it can be 100% non-cash, also only cash for a UG I think)

1.1. Which means it's much less big of a deal for a classical company, as e.g. office+car+machinery can easily be 25k+.

2. You get it back if the company is dissolved without insolvency.

Lastly you can start a GmbH with 12.500€ but then you are liable for the missing 12.5k in case of an insolvency.
> These folks are saying they see an opportunity to save a life at very low risk to themselves.

No, that's not what they 're saying. One says that "not making the donation would have meant he valued his life at 4,000 times that of a stranger" and the other is saying that "1/3,000 risk of death in surgery is like sacrificing yourself to save 3,000 people".

"They see an opportunity to save a life at very low risk to themselves" is your interpretation of what they are actually saying. It might be true, but I'm discussing what was actually said. Do you want to discuss what was actually said, or your interpretation of it?
hmm. The offending claim is certainly still there

Honestly it’s wild that so many people on this forum are making arguments about theoretical accidents that could happen when Autopilot has billions of miles driven and gets in 80% fewer accidents than the average US driver. The idea that we have to wait for Autopilot to be perfect means accepting hundreds of thousands of millions of accidents (including thousands of preventable deaths) that could be avoided. I find that attitude terrifying.

The thing has four buttons (not including the system-standard window control buttons)— how much hunting can it take?

Not to suggest that this is a good UI (highly Gnome-styled apps like this tend to have trouble getting the right elements promoted to the toolbar and leave important things buried in menus or omitted entirely), but “I can’t figure out what’s clickable” here feels like you’re being deliberately obtuse.

"And they need to put firms with foreign borrowings through administration to get rid of the foreign debt."

Though I totally understand the idea, I however think it is easier said than done.

Turkish ( or any other country) companies have the same issue: low us interest rates and common sense applied here: they took advantage of the situation by borrowing in US dollar.

There was nothing much the Turkish government could do about that.
> As long as I can't provision these service myself without having to "call for advice" I am not using it irregardless of the price. It's 2022 and any company still hiding behind "call for pricing" or "call for quote" that isn't servicing government agencies is going to be eaten alive by any other provider not making customer run thought hoops.

In order to access the really competitive pricing (to running the cloud yourself) on AWS, you have to do the same. As in, many of the bigger AWS users have deals with Amazon to get sometimes massive reductions in price, but they are custom negotiated between humans, not something you'd find on a website. The smaller AWS customers, those using the public prices, pay way more than what the service is worth.
