For sure, and I agree, but that's underscoring my point. The marginal cost of cloud computing isn't capex, it's opex. And of that opex, it's mostly electricity. We aren't paying for the hardware so much as we'r

Mostly correct. It differs from your analogy because you can't (usually) directly trade two stocks against each other, but it's purely arbitrary. Unfortunately, we humans are very psychologically affects by what appears to be arbi

Clever presentation of the basics of how conspiracy theories begin, are substantiated, and then can (often) be refuted by zooming out and regaining a little perspective.

Yes. Pretty happy with it. * Shared mailboxes work well enough. * Deliverability seems good. * UI is good. IMAP is good. They do email, calendars, and contacts, and they do it well. :)

Yes, hundreds. :) Here's a few examples: In Germany, it reduces the overhead of owning a company dramatically (the overhead of a German GmbH is quite a bit more than just taxes, including mandatory registrations, etc.). In Switzerland,

From my last post: > My situation is complex This means my situation pretty much does not apply to anyone else, and the tax residency question is very complex in my case, as well. I won't bore you with details. :)

Of course--but this is the case for almost all jurisdictions of record vs jurisdictions of taxation. Few countries want to allow a company to operate 100% in their borders without extracting some degree of taxation. (In fact, this is basic

Helpful post! I think a lot of these lessons learned apply to any larger organization (> 10) that has well defined internal structure with an eye to scale or has already scaled. I recently transitioned to working more within a larger org

Huh…I haven’t had a Platinum Card for a few years (some other cards provided better value), but that’s disappointing.

Really happy for Linode. I cannot say enough good things about the quality of their products and support. As a customer who's built significant value on their infrastructure, I'm a little bit worried about the impact this acquisit

Green.ch supports IPv6, and they include a /48 when you have a static IP. I've wanted to switch to init7 for a longtime, but Green's service and price is hard to argue with.
