The Estonian company pays the Spanish resident money to them personally. Indeed it is normal that the Spanish resident has to deal with the Spanish taxes on this money only. If the Estonian company is supposed to be considered a separate le

And yet I'm not seeing an awful lot of advantage of registering in the EU then if this campaign has to exist - clearly there's a big enough friction to registering / running a company within the EU itself.

I think they mean that the Estonian company they run now has to file tax returns and pay taxes not only to Estonia but also Spain. The company lives in Estonia. Yeah if they are taking income personally locally then that should go to the co

But there is no threshold for cross-border selling in the EU. Fine if you're selling widgets at a market in Germany - but if you sell software abroad, make sure you're following [each] one of the 27 VAT codes correctly. (From what

This is a great initiative that I've been following, but the stumbling block is still 'local taxes [and employment]' - that's still 27 different tax codes to deal with, submitting returns to in 27 different languages. Ev

A mass selloff of US bonds will mean that the US can’t sell any more - because the market is suddenly flooded with bonds at a ‘discount’. This means that the US can’t take on any more debt (borrow money) Why would you pay the US $10 when yo

Indeed, but 'the EU' isn't the one enforcing it or leveraging fines - it's up to national bodies/governments and law enforcement. From that link we can see that the UK fined its own Ministry of Defence 400,000 EUR.

Well, not for public bodies at least: “ Administrative fines cannot be imposed on public organisations, such as the government or state-owned companies, municipalities and parishes” [1] But luckily this sort of thing never happens in the pu

Exactly - no one can prove they own it (on purpose because it's reserved for private network use, so no one can own it)

I see what you're getting at - but to me this sounds almost exactly like just using DNS, even if the (A/AAAA) record you want to use resolves to an un-routable address: https://letsencrypt.org/docs/challenge-t

Also I don't see the point of what TLS is supposed to solve here? If you and I (and everyone else) can legitimately get a certificate for 10.0.0.1, then what are you proving exactly over using a self-signed cert? There would be no way

Well they offer a money-back guarantee. And other providers of SSL certificates exist.

If you are doing this in a commercial context and the 4 day debugging window, or any downtime, would cause you more costs than say, buying a 1 year certificate from a commercial supplier, then that might be your answer there...

That IP address you shared is a CloudFlare IP address: https://bgp.tools/prefix/173.245.58.0/24#asinfo I would have said that perhaps you are getting requests from people using their WARP proxy product - which isn

I've also learned the hard way that breakout boards from Chinese retailers that look like the real thing but cost less than the price of the component from DigiKey in bulk are a pile of crap. Whilst it is great that the hardware is ope

It's a good question - unfortunately I don't really have a good answer... Almost all of my embedded activities are for a my own hobby purposes, and I just like the ability to go 'as low as I can' with projects on MCUs. I

Yeah - I don't really consider this comparable for my uses which rely heavily on the DSP and processing power of the Teensy itself either. Drama and whatnot aside I'm not really sure why anyone would buy the (considerably more exp

It's similar here in Finland - I can get stuff from DigiKey with all taxes paid and whatnot, free shipping over 50eur and it'll arrive by DHL in less than 48hrs from the States. If I order something locally, maybe it'll hav

That’s sort of what HTTP is already doing though no? Multiple websites can have the exact same DNS record and live on the same physical server / IP address, but the HTTP(S) request must specify what host name it is actually requesting,

Huh, you’ve got me thinking now. Here in Finland at least there are a lot of completely unattended pumps that once you exit the road it’s basically just a patch of land and you pull up in whatever direction you want to match the side of you

Not sure about your bit of Europe but I’ve had branded credit cards from European airlines here in Europe for a long time. They’re definitely past ‘coming’. Not as lucrative for me the holder as you’d get it the US, but I can’t really imagi

From what I understand about North Korea - simply moving within (actual) NK itself is not really on the cards for a lot of people, so they might as well claim sovereignty over the whole peninsular.

Usually some state's passports grant the holder more privileges than those issued by another state precisley because of the perceived risk of them being (not) obtained by fraud. Your genuine Sealand passport is less practically useful
