I haven't read there but there were a series of "Monster" books which taught various topics (also, IIRC by Usborne). I had the ones on simple home chemistry and a photocopy of the one on BASIC programming. The latter was exceptionally informative for a child. Some things stand out.

1. You had to type the code in to get it working. There would inevitably be errors which I had to debug and fix that taught me that skill.

2. I had GW-BASIC on DOS while the book used another dialect and it had some "porting guides" in the appendix. I sort of learnt some lower level details from porting the programs to work on my computer.

I also feel that they had a friendly but "gloves off" approach to teaching. They treated their (child) audience as smart, intelligent, small adults rather than kids who needed to be entertained to learn anything and achieved something which, I feel, is missing in many modern books.

Just to clarify: since you are only an e-resident of Estonia, are all your three Estonian companies paying the corporate income tax (CIT) in your personal country of residence?

Since Switzerland is currently the only country in Europe without CFC rules[1], it seems that an Estonian company can only be managed from Estonia or Switzerland without being considered as local for tax purposes in another jurisdiction.

I wish anyone in this position nothing but the best, but this should come as no surprise.

It reminds me of a comedy bit where a guy asks "so when you were in school, you studied, hung out with friends, got a girlfriend, and so on -- yeah? -- if you'd been on the computer every waking hour like i was then you wouldn't be standing here today like an idiot".

It's a joke, but the truth is that there are only 24h in the day, and nobody can "have it all". There's always a road less traveled, even if you traveled the best road for you.
I once aced an interview after the recruiter handed me the list questions, all soft balls like "what is the difference between a promise and an observable". Naturally I googled every one of them and during the interview had to hold myself back as to not to totally dunk on the questions. Afterwards the recruiter called me back with the good news, I said it was almost unfair how easy it was, he just laugh and said that not everyone that gets the questions on a silver platter actually passes the interview.

in the texas freeze last year natural gas never stopped flowing even though power was out for about 5 days. I cut the wire to my gas furnace and put a plug on the end. My small 2kw generator could easily run the blower on my gas furnace.

We could still cook food on our gas stove.

We still had hot water from our gas hot water heater (though the pipes eventually froze).
> with far less wasted energy

Small nit-pick: Electricity generation itself is often very lossy. In the case of fossil sources, the energy waste is just further up the chain (with solar power too, but it matters much less).
Actually, I just checked our Stripe Atlas. Originally intended the C corp so we could bring people in but we were instead advised to just start a new LLC each time if we wanted and that we could have one LLC just be the owner of the other.

So I should correct this. We did end up with an LLC but the C corp would have worked just fine apparently.

Thanks for bringing that up. I'd forgotten.
I see many of them that simply vent into the attic. This requires a properly vented attic, and has the downside of introducing moisture into the attic, which can lead to damage.

That said, mobile homes pretty much always vent outside in my experience.
https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/currency_12772.htm

> There is no federal statute mandating that a private business, a person, or an organization must accept currency or coins as payment for goods or services. Private businesses are free to develop their own policies on whether to accept cash unless there is a state law that says otherwise.

> Section 31 U.S.C. 5103, entitled "Legal tender," states: "United States coins and currency [including Federal Reserve notes and circulating notes of Federal Reserve Banks and national banks] are legal tender for all debts, public charges, taxes, and dues." This statute means that all U.S. money as identified above is a valid and legal offer of payment for debts when tendered to a creditor.
Interesting, and most places it is culturally unacceptable regardless.

I understand that I just don't consider it cheating despite their reaction during the interview. I'm not going by any formal definition of "cheating" here. But this person took the question as a practice question, not with the knowledge that it will be asked. They also did the work on proving and understanding it.

Let's put it another way. If you take an exam after practicing with any kind of practice questions (something that has been done since the dawn of time and the education system) and happen to run into the same questions in the real exam, was that cheating or better targeted learning? Or if you find out about a job from a friend who works there, is it cheating because you have a significant insider advantage over people who never knew about the job?

In my opinion true cheating would have been made up of a) someone feeding them the real questions and/or b) someone feeding them the answers. It involves an unwillingness to put in effort and a premeditation that I didn't see in the story. This person was indeed in a conflict of interest but I wouldn't call them "a cheater".

P.S. If I were in that interview I would have provided the full answer almost instantly, not needing any kind of hesitation to "simulate" the thinking process. I know the answer without any relation to the interview. So there could be 2 outcomes: a) I get unfairly excluded under the suspicion of cheating justifying the need to fake the thinking to avoid this or b) I would have passed to the next stage making that whole charade effectively inconsequential.

If you or other commenters have problems with this, consider doing some activities that really get yourself in-tune with what it means to be relaxed. A lot of programmers will run or lift weights, and that is a great way to keep your body functional and physically healthy. But most programmers I know are very out of touch with the other side of physical health--getting in tune with their stress and how to deal with its physical manifestations. Lifting weights in particular can make this harder, because at least for me it makes me used to feeling tense and sore.

The reason I bring this up is that if your baseline emotional state is stressed out, you will be more likely not to notice that being at the computer is making your body feel bad. You will be less likely to take those breaks and stretch what needs stretching and give your eyes a break because you are not aware of what it means to truly feel peace in your body. On the flipside, if you are in tune with what stress is feeling like and what calm relaxation and emotional stillness feels like, you will be less likely to tolerate situations that make your body and mind ache.

Yoga, meditation, and having a really fulfilling sex life are all obvious ways to reduce stress. Working on a healthy upright posture in the full course of your day is helpful too. Less obviously, talk therapy can be helpful if you feel like you can't relax or are anxious and tense all the time--the problem might be deeper than just needing a massage.

He made many millionaires at Tesla. This is absolutely abhorrent mischaracterization of any billionaire, let alone Elon Musk. Wealth is not stolen from anyone, it is created from providing value to millions of people.

No one is exploiting anyone. It is at-will employment. Provides a living wage to thousands of employees to raise their families.

If wealth was stolen, then we'd not have any growth in GDP. 90% people lived in poverty in the 19th century. Capitalism improved lives of millions of people. Every single person is better off today than in 18th century.

You simply cannot become a billionaire without providing value to millions. Exceptions are inheritance and crony capitalists (often in bed with Gov).

Sergey Brin is rightfully a billionaire. He made the world better and so did pretty much any billionaire. I feel like media has been feeding people "Billionaire bad, socialism good" and people have stopped thinking for themselves.

> Network is much much more reliable than it used to be

Within DCs, sure. At the same time, a lot more company networks become spread thin over 4G/5G networks and finicky cable ISPs in recent years with WFH.

I suspect the answer to this is "not enough information", which, I suppose, hints at an applicants requirements gathering thought process?

School schootings per capita (2009-2018):

Something I saw in drug pricing conferences is that there is a push to price drugs according to how much personal and social benefit they provide and how much a person would be willing to pay to extend their life or resolve a condition. An extreme example for that model, if a drug allow a kid to survive and have a productive life it can be priced millions whereas a palliative drug could be much cheaper.

This has nothing to do with research and cost of development anymore (if it even ever did).

Sure, it's possible but there are plenty of gaps where its random noise - but even a very very weak signal would be swamped with noise if the radio is in FM mode.

Pure radio static is the sound of the universe! Very frequency dependent - the higher up in frequency (or shorter the wavelength) the more of it is cosmic in nature - point a microwave radio dish towards/away from the sun and hear the difference, or even down towards the ground to hear the sky/earth noise.

I personally find a clear spot between military submarine stations in the low frequency 10-60 KHz range quite relaxing to listen to as it's a mix of random noise and thunder static.

It is really not compensated if you look at the financial side. The cost of raising a child plus the lost income because of parenting plus the fact that 'you remain flat' is way higher than months or even a year extra pay.

It is worth it though for most people (because of the extra happiness) so I'm not saying that we should necessarily compensate it further, just that financially it's not compensated for.

I think it can be spread by word of mouth. I've already converted several friends and family over to electric kettles when they see how useful it is for coffee, tea, even for getting water boiled for cooking.

The big question in my mind is whether the electric kettle itself is the "final form", or if I'll be proselytizing the same people in ten years to get an Asian style hot water heater/reservoir instead.

Thoughts on Capacity Management (and More)
I mean, I think you may be suffering from US bias here (I’m assuming you’re in the US, or at least in a country with a similar auto market). The industry has, in general, not been prioritising the US market for electric cars, though this is starting to change (this shouldn’t be a big surprise; fuel is generally cheaper in the US than in Europe and the wealthy Asian economies, and range anxiety is a larger problem. Europe buys about four times as many electric cars as the US; China even more).

In the EU last year, Tesla was third in sales, after VW Group and Stellantis. It will likely be overtaken by Hyundai-Kia this year, and maybe by Renault. This also… shouldn’t be super surprising? The ‘catch-up’ argument is a little overblown; Renault’s Z-E platform and the Nissan Leaf are contemporaries of theTesla model S, and VW wasn’t far behind. Electric cars are likely having a moment more because battery prices started getting into the realms of the possible 15 years ago more than anything else.

In particular, it’s notable that VW group’s electric car market dominance is similar to its overall car market dominance.
I didn’t leave my apartment for two years because of Covid and decided a change of scenery would be nice, so my family and I have been bouncing around rural AirBNBs for about six months.

In new construction people are installing those microwave vents that literally do nothing except blow the air out the top of the microwave. It’s not totally worthless but it’s next to worthless.

Yeah I see what darkteflon is saying but he is clearly wrong. And condescending about it to boot. There is a meaningful and discussion worthy difference between “value” (price, really), driven by speculation and hope versus price driven by demand for scarce goods which have utility.
Yes - that's not unreasonable for a full time care facility for something like dementia or Alzheimer's in the US (it's below what we paid for my grandmothers).

If you're lucky - they have long term care insurance, and that covers most of the expenses for approx 2 to 10 years (depending on how old the insurance is - it's getting harder to find long plans, and they're all getting significantly more expensive as it turns out more folks needed them).

Otherwise... you spend everything, and then your kids pay.

We split my grandmothers down the middle - my mom's had insurance, we covered my dad's.
