The idea is really nice ( IF you can actually execute)! I don't like the website though: * all the toplevel links take you to another website. I usually expect those to take you to pages that are at least consistent with the top domain I

That's just Corruption Perception . (We also don't have vampires roaming at night, etc.) Corporate-wise it's quite simple: you pay your taxes and there aren't that many things to imply corruption since numbers are numbers. Of course, the l

Hiring a dummy company director just to have some Ireland company seems a lot of trouble straight from the start. I've also always looked funny at the companies providing these "services", they are almost similar to companies selling offsho

For LLCs in EU/Romania: * Incorporating cost is probably about 150 euro if you pay someone else do it, maybe even less if you want to waste time yourself. You need an actual residence. * Minimum starting capital is 50 euro. * An LLC doesn't

>And that company can base itself anywhere in Europe. One of the advantages of the Single Market. Yeah right. Depending on the fiscal code of the other country the company might need to register and even pay taxes there. The Single Mark

Clang/LLVM is built (and financed) to be the real open-source competitor to GCC. I don't see the problem here, not everything has to be GPL. I'm pretty sure the FreeBSD folks welcome the choice. GCC is probably the main "monopoly" GNU has

I looked at Amazon and the Kindle prices were almost always a bit more than the paperback price. I don't see why this is so (given that books are supposedly more expensive to produce, etc). I can share physical books, give them away when I

My 2c: #1 Try cutting down on blogs. There is really no need to read them daily. #2 Try to include open-source patching into your actual fulltime job (of course, management has to agree with this, etc). If you already work 12-16 hours per d

I know HN is US-centric but I would just like to point out that it's only been about 2 months since the iPad is available in large EU countries like France and Germany and 2 weeks since it's available in other (Austria, Belgium, New Zealand

First, this is a dupe, it's been already on HN (via Engadget[1] as it's even linked in this article) Second, "holycrapawesome" in the title annoys me even more than the "ginormous" in the original Engadget title (which is actually a diction

Well, if it's very high disk IO that you need then you either self-host or colocate. Go with self-hosting and see how far along you get; you can always colocate afterwards.

I wouldn't know what the margin is in this business but I assume you buy a bit over the capacity, specifically to allow new customers to come in. Perhaps setup fees /kinda/ make sense if you are some high-quality name in the business and pe

It's not just annoying it's counterproductive. In my head setup fees trigger warning bells on two areas: 1. The company is so un-automated that it actually needs considerable human intervention to prepare a server and doesn't actually bothe

This is the 2nd day in a row I've heard of hetzner.de. If they remove their one-time setup fee of 149 eur I might give them a try.

Over an year this costs you about $1200 for bandwidth + $500 for hardware + electricity/service. Let's say an even $1600 or ~ $135 / month. $135 / month buys you two 1.5GB Linode instances or one 2GB Slicehost instance (I use Slicehost but

I assume interpreting this chart is where all the magic lies but it doesn't tell me that much. It tells that newer users seem to be more engaged, but it doesn't tell if we are seeing a trend or not. Maybe as users get older and get over the

The problem with your blog post is that it doesn't show your voice at all! I couldn't tell that you were pretty close to burning out nor did you mention anything that seemed to be part of your own experience. You start the blog with some in
