I'm not sure there is any path, now or planned for the future, for moving from e-residency to 'real residency'. Probably you've seen this information, but if not: http://www.investinestonia.com/en/in

Another issue is disposal of waste. Living in Australia it seems pretty clear to me there's lots of land here where such storage / disposal could be implemented, yet the outcry from various groups over 'abuse' of areas w

A big part of how many people work is to be proud of what they have achieved. Personally, I wouldn't even build this kind of 'product' because I wouldn't get any sense of achievement or any sense that I'd built some

Indeed - this reads as "we no longer need you, the customer, so screw you". Not a good look for anyone who is looking to move on from this company, especially if they are in management and presumably would have had something to sa

I tried Google Drive about a year ago, and it appeared to choke on large files (I had a couple of 4Gb VMs), and pausing during attempted uploads always resulted in having to start over the upload from scratch. Still sticking with CrashPlan

At least he's being honest with himself. I see many posts here about people learning a tiny bit of some programming language, making (IMO) unnecessary products and then looking to cash out / sell out at the first opportunity and m

Indeed - raise your kids to eat insects or insect products, and they won't think twice about it. My wife grew up in Eastern Europe and savours the thought of chowing down on blood sausage, whereas I grew up in Australia and it just see

This is another argument in support of legalisation. The 'war on drugs' is lost, and can never be won. Far better drugs are legalised, can be produced safely and with known purities. Governments can tax their sale (as per alcohol)

When I still worked for a company and not myself, and was assisting in the hiring process, I was much more inclined to overlook drug-related crimes as I felt then - as now - that these very often should be crimes in the first place. On the

I think it's far more likely for me to have a hallucination than to be witnessing some supernatural events. For example, many 'ghost' sightings are in houses with higher than usual levels of carbon monoxide.

Perhaps it could work as follows: 1) in terms of information sharing you are always sharing what is 'nearby' with others who are 'nearby'; this keeps the information flowing no matter what 2) in terms of information DISP
