Straight from Wikipedia: The Commission operates as a cabinet government, with 28 members of the Commission (informally known as "commissioners"). There is one member per member state, but members are bound by their oath of office

Has it occurred to the UK that young, progressive Europeans might actually not want to work there any more? Why pick a country that at best will grudgingly tolerate you when you have so many other easier and increasingly more attractive opt

In her defence (not that she really deserves it), Theresa May was fucked either way by setting March as the deadline. The sad part is I'm sure it was incompetence rather than a calculated slight.

It's bearing up in the polls because nothing visible has happened yet (apart from Sterling's slide). This is peak UK. I think 10 years from now it will be hard to find anyone that openly admits to having voted leave (much like you

The joke of it is, Cameron called the foolish referendum in a misguided attempt to silence the Europe-sceptics within his party once and for all (which every Tory leader since Thatcher has unsuccessfully tried to do). Those same sceptics ar

If I was incorporating in Europe today and didn't need SEIS/EIS I'd definitely at least look at Ireland, Germany, Malta and Estonia before automatically picking the UK. The criteria would be something like: 1). Is it easy to

Virtually everything can be easily defeated. The only outfit I've consistently seen put up a good fight is Distil. They do it by acting a little like Cloudflare. They put their servers in front of your www facing endpoints and use ML t

Professional proxy services. Price, IP pool size and quality vary hugely but if you're not trying to scrape an aggressively defended target and don't need to make more than a handful of requests per second, 100K IPs will usually b

Interestingly, Portugal (13 on the list) would jump to number 1 (with a score of 115) if they factored in the NHR scheme which gives new residents a 10 year tax break on foreign source income (though admittedly there are some strings attach

Yes, I'd argue that the UK's approach to regulation may as well be network neutrality by another name. It's looser than the FCC's interpretation but the desired end result (from a consumer perspective) is very similar. R

Yes and no. The market works in the UK. If you don't want a "hand holding" ISP that filters and DPIs your connection you have a range of good alternatives e.g. http://aa.net.uk/ The shittiest providers in the

Can confirm. I'm a UK citizen with no US bank account but donate monthly to the ACLU (payment is taken off a UK credit card).

Not familiar with the US tax system but does the concept of "growth shares" exist over there? They're a fairly standard thing in the UK and negate most of the income tax and social security issues mentioned in the post. You&#

I would say yes assuming the group (of which the entire collective is made) also has the ability to change its mind later and vote that non consensual sex is in fact not ok. If the majority of a group decide something then that implies coll

A little harsh. Presuming his children don't want to carry on the business (if, indeed he has any) then he's left with two choices: 1). Sell the building and business together. Given the location, the sale would inevitably be to a

Because income tax isn't the whole story. The French also pay social charges: ~8% on salary (and, unlike income tax, no relief on the first €9.700); ~15% on capital income (e.g. a house sale, investments etc.). Employer's also hav
