I think there are two main factors to take into account: - If you are in a lower tax bracket, the taxes are almost the same for everyone, so talking "net" is okay. If you have a more substantial income though, there starts to be m

Not sure how fiscality works in Germany, but if similar as France, then that would be 64k _super_ gross per employee per year. So you would remove ~25% of that to get employee gross. Meaning, more like 50k gross per year.

Yes, you can, but that's not legal. If you want to compare the merits of two systems, you have to do it on legal grounds. If you allow cheating, then nothing is comparable, everything is possible, no system is better.

You don't raise any problem specific to digital certificates here, but rather just the ones that are present on physical ones and still present on digital ones. No solution is perfect, but it still removes a lot of the previous ones. A

NFTs were created for the very reason that certificates of authenticity have no value unless the ledger from which they were issued is not public. How can you know there wasn't more certificates printed than tee shirt created ? How do

Not sure why you are downvoted. This is indeed the exact use case for which NFTs were invented.

That is very cool! Now I could use this to spot long dependency chains and investigate if each is necessary or if forward declarations would be enough. Thanks a lot

I use `defaultBranch = master`, because the prude trend of forbidding words based on obvious miscontextualization is more harmful than helpful.

There are per ticker rules to allow odd lots on most US markets. AFAIK unless you're trading penny stocks, every stock out there is entitled for odd lots, and most trades are indeed odd lots, that has been the case for 10 years at leas
