Fees were like $3k last time I checked, likely higher when using some external agency. Still peanuts compared to savings from 0% taxes (assuming high income in EU).

Maybe if you are in a country with super low taxes for IT folks like Romania, Poland, Croatia etc. But that won't work in Germany, Benelux, France, Spain, Italy, Scandinavia where taxes can be 40-60% at that income level.

Current income, inflation and taxation levels in the EU can be considered immoral as well. Moreover, Estonia has issues with human rights (unless you assume Russian-speaking people are subhumans).

They can spend 5 months in Japan, 4 months in Korea and 3 months in Hong Kong each year and be fine wrt taxation if they work remotely in the US.

If you make sure you aren't living in a single country for over 180 days, you can still utilize Dubai taxation. For example, you spend 179 days in your home country in the spring/summer, then travel a bit for a few months, then pa

AFAIK all Baltic states have a minority with limited rights, so they are far from true democracy. It's irrelevant what they think of that minority/what is their history with that minority, they simply can't claim to be fully

Estonian e-residency doesn't solve that problem either, but conditions are worse.

Why not get Dubai Golden Visa for 5-10 years instead, get 0% taxes and the ability to live wherever you want (Dubai doesn't enforce residency duration limits to Golden Visa holders)?

Good bugs often need bad bugs to thrive, so do birds.

It's already a problem, I agree. Another big problem is the increasing measurable presence of those chemicals in pastry/bread/flour these days, with unknown long-term effects.

On one hand, this will maximize crop per area. On the other hand, it will kill off all insects that require diverse sets of plants, causing issues in the food chain above. The long-term consequences are unknown, likely not good.

You are pretty much validating that Amazon is a 2-year company, as reflected in their vesting schedule.

You spawn multiple teams working on very similar projects without them knowing about each other, let them grow for a while, then choose the most promising one (or with the highest traction) as your default solution and kill off the rest. Pr

Basically they will prevent open/free software producers from commercionalizing it. Like open/free software grows on trees, let's just collect it!

Did you try Perlin noise? Looks much more natural, emulating particles.

Some "old school" management styles measure LoC and make hiring/firing decisions based on that. Really.

A company I know fired 50% of their devs 1 day before Christmas without any prior notice. Many people got a message during their daily meetings and some were just outright blocked when they attempted to login without any explanation.

Elon should have talked to Bill Gates before firing half of Twitter: "Measuring programming progress by lines of code is like measuring aircraft building progress by weight."

NAD+ depletion might lead to problems with cerebellum which might cause dizziness unrelated to ENT.

Get an NAD+ booster like Niagen or liposomal NMN; Covid (even mild) seems to deplete a month worth of NAD+ reserves in a few days. You might want to combine it with megadoses of B1 that improve enzymatic affinity after major viral infection

I despise this security-first attitude. It just leads to so much mental fatigue everywhere and any step is a potential minefield. It's ruining programming.

Reduce CO2 by introducing a plastic smart device whose manufacturing costs a tree. I love these eco-friendly measures!

Can't you rent displays when you move? More practical than carrying them around or being restricted to using cars.

Germany is doing the same, Hetzner customers get emails from government pentests if they find something.

Get an NAD+ booster like Niagen quickly; even a mild Covid seems to deplete a month-worth of NAD+ in 3 days and as it is a required part of any energy reaction in mitochondria, people end up like zombies for months thereafter if they don&#x
