You're getting downvoted because you're incorrect: it doesn't matter where a company is from, if they're conducting business with people in the EU, they're bound by it. Which is why several non-EU companies have pai

Yes, we should selectively filter people whose ideas we don't like from being able to speak them to any audience. In fact I question the value of letting people like <person whose ideas you value> speak on such a big platform. &#

Different circumstances: Snowden's location is well-known, he's protected via political asylum. El Chapo on the other hand was being hunted by the local government so he was dependent on his location remaining secret.

How recently? I opened an account for my Estonian company as an e-resident (from the EU) in Q1 2019 and it took a grand total of ~40 minutes at the bank to get everything working. I had to visit the bank HQ in person but the whole process w

This was pretty inevitable, given the recent changes announced to Chrome that Google created to fight ad blockers. Why would they limit their fight to just that?

That has been pretty much South Park's entire premise from day one: mocking the stupid shit we as societies do.

I already spend 7 to 8 hours a day working on software, the odds that I'll spend a single minute working on anything remotely close to that are close to 0: I have significantly more enjoyable stuff to occupy my time with. Sure, I find

Not only that but it's legit hilarious how the US spent decades influencing (some times by force even) foreign elections and governments but suddenly when someone does it to them it's unacceptable. It's pathetic.

"Was not meant" means nothing. It's specified as optional because it's an extension mechanism.

That's often because most clients will already have some sort of environment set up, running some OS and with certain features installed and most importantly: they don't want to have 5 different projects working on 5 different fra

No company has to comply with laws of jurisdictions they're not based on. Unless they want to be allowed to conduct business there, that is.

I've no idea how it works in SA but if I buy anything outside my market, I'll be paying customs for importing it. So yes, my local taxes still matter.
