No. VAT is basically a tax paid by people. Companies don’t really pay VAT, they collect it from the end-customers and pass it to the state. Relying on VAT alone skews the burden of financing the state on the people only, which means no part

Just shake the shoe to spread the powdered boric acid. Doesn’t need to be precise, over time it will spread everywhere.

I started using boric acid about 6-7 years ago. I’m nit talking about those ineffective foot powders, just straight pure boric acid (looks like powdered sugar), about a teaspoon every 2/3 days in my shoes. Basically stopped all smells,

That happened last year in March. Linus Tech Tips used to be heavily sponsored by TunnelBear but they chose to drop them in favour of PIA once McAfee acquired the VPN. https://youtu.be/RNG4-9BqUIQ

Naive in the sense that they only address issues such as blocking LAN networks and email spam traffic and there is zero mention of what happens when someone anonymously abuse the service. The volunteer effort is laudable and quite refreshin

It looks interesting and probably without gotcha, but it’s rather naive as it seems to rely on volunteers to act as relay/exit node. I wonder how many ran into trouble due to dubious anonymous traffic exiting their IP...

A great idea that I hope they can make happen. Sounds like quite an undertaking though.

How would you consider it fair use? It's not educational, not satiric, not for parody, not scientific, not for non-profit, not illustrative... It's purely used as a promotion tool to further commercial ends.

This is huge for Hong Kong. It's not just a standard extradition agreement like existing ones made with other countries. With Hong Kong under China's foot, there is a grave risk that any -unverifiable- trumped up charge made in th

Maybe you meant to be sarcastic but being underwater doesn't negate any of the environmental concerns linked with pollution, treatment of by-products and their effect on the ecosystem.

Amazing content and quality in both books. Got the PDF and donated $40, well worth it. I would love to get the dead-tree versions, these books certainly deserve their own space on a shelf, but I'd rather the content creator get money t

It's strange to see the concerns they had then (image manipulation) being echoed today with video and the dangers of deep fakes (and related audio with lip synchronisation). With some perspective, it may looks like that concern about f

That's most likely the easiest way to temporarily fix the issue until it is resolved.

That's an unusual way to make money for someone skilled into generally well-paying tech jobs. It's an interesting niche though, being your own "product". Is it something you enjoy doing as well or do you feel you have to

Then the Electron Runtime is updated but breaking the particular App that was relying on a feature that has changed since its publication. The problem is not updating the Runtime, it's ensuring that the apps relying on the runtime stil

Then you get into the issue of keeping apps and runtime in sync so you don't get issues with older apps not working well with a new version of the runtime required by newer apps... You end-up having to keep multiple runtimes and hoping

I would assume that in high-density areas, having a smaller car that's easier to control and park would be an advantage over the bigger cars. Fuel cost is also a factor with smaller cars usually being more efficient, especially in urba
