It‘s definitely possible and happens regularly. But statistically speaking, it‘s a freak accident compared to car vs. pedestrian. It‘s orders of magnitude less likely.

Nothing about traffic allocation is „naturally“. Building roads is a decision. Allocating space for cars, bicycles, pedestrians is a decision. Making driving a car cheap is a decision. Discouraging driving by increasing costs is a decision.

A separation in the registration/login flow is pretty common - you only see the prices without vat if you’re a registered business customer, often they require either a VAT-ID or other proof you’re a business customer.

Fun thing: there are a few, easy to integrate services that will give you all the information you need to remain compliant. You just need to integrate them in your checkout workflow - and then actually report the taxes and pay, which is the

Small business or not doesn’t matter here. Twitter blue does charge VAT, they just don’t include it in the sticker price they show up at the beginning of the sales process. The law stipulates that consumer prices must be advertised with VAT

It took me a moment to realize that the thread starts with a quote that makes is sound as if the person is talking about someone. But it’s actually the whistleblower quoting and translating a documentary about herself. (“@ashleygjovik can t

That quote could have come from me, speaking about building a feature, finding a bug, trying to figure out why something behaves the way it does. Data helps. More data is often good. Research, approval of medication, all of this is based on

If you accept that sooner or later, most people in prison will be released, then a major part of the prisons mission must be rehabilitation, aside from restoration of justice through punishment. Because if it’s not, then people that are sen

My hack is to not own a car and commute by bike. It is exercise, but camouflages as required activity. I also try to deliberately walk instead of taking the subway regularly, even if it takes an hour or so.

Many modern dishwashers are essentially leak-proof. They have a closed bottom, a sensor that detects liquid and use a low-pressure hose with a valve at the end that connects to the wall outlet. The hose is double walled, so even in the even

Many brands offer a specific variant of their models that has a hot water inlet. You just have to ask for it. It's pretty efficient if you have hot water via solar.

You are still wrong. The renter must obtain permission from the landlord prior to subletting and must substantiate legitimate interest. Not doing so is a breach of contract and can ultimately lead to termination of your rental contract. If

by Xylakant 4y ago
This is false. The law stipulates that you must obtain permission from the landlord prior to subletting (§ 540 Abs. 1 S. 2 BGB, § 553 BGB) which must be granted if the renter has legitimate interest to sublet. The burden of proof is on the

The process cannot be carbon negative unless you sequester the algae somehow. All the carbon the algae captures while growing will be released when they decompose.

We used to do that as students. There was a ticket that would allow germany wide travel with regional trains on weekends. It’s long, but it was cheap and on trains isn’t too bad.

The issue is that time runs faster on the moon, so clocks will get out of sync, or you need to define a lunar second which will be different from an earth second. So pure UTC is not going to make it. General relativity strikes again.

But you could fix it with a sufficiently heavy clock.

Q-CAD seems to be GPLv3, so the open source version could take the changes as long as they comply with the license. They cannot take features from the commercial version. A CLA doesn’t change that either way. LibreCAD can’t contribute back

The corporate behemoth is publishing something that I get to use for free. It has a bug, that I just happen to trip over constantly. It's important to me to fix it since it requires effort to work around it. It's just not high eno

Serious money is relative: Standard fees in this case would be around 1850 EUR including relevant taxes, but only if it goes to court. Depending on the complexity of the case, your lawyer may ask for more, but that you’ll need to have with
