My friend living in Denmark, with a driver’s license from a corrupt country where literally anyone can get it, would render your whole 3-months intensive system useless. He is in fact driving, and could cause quite a crash, with all this am

I'm going to take a stance here and state my disappointment towards the NH crowd whenever China comes up as a subject. Instead of looking at it through engineering eyes, and debating the benefits and / or drawbacks, so far I see o

You have the Ubers and AirBnBs circumventing laws around the world and you think it's hard to optimize for a remote law and accountancy practice? Just have offshore remoters do the bulk of work and have it signed by a certified local l

This is infuriating for me as an Eastern European… they keep piling taxes and adding expenses. Soon steel and no more ICE cars. Who do you think absorbs the 50€ / ton and rising shock better, a German making 4000€ / month or an Ea

I'm a big critic of marketing, but marketing is supposed to do a lot of stuff. Perhaps persuasion of the form you have experienced is the worst they could do. First of all it should understand a market in order to help build a fitting
