First, ask a good lawyer, don't trust anything on the open internet. The law and jurisprudence in each country covers what (intellectual property or other rights) belongs to your employer and if you are allowed to work on anything outs

Because Hydrogen is too expensive. If you calculate the LCOE, you'll find that using wind at night is cheaper than hydrogen. Maybe certain batteries storing solar can beat wind at cost? My point remains, don't guess "why not

Only consider the Levelised cost of Energy (LCOE) over the lifetime of systems, like solar+ electrical cables and night-time batteries versus solar generating hydrogen, storing plus transport plus burning or fuel cells in new locomotives. I

500Mbps for $60 is already expensive and slow all over Europe, for example $30 for 1 Gbps in Spain. Starlinks <200Mbps for $124 is very expensive. You can get 100 Gbps for $5500, that is $5,5 for 100 Mbps. As an internet provider since 1

Yes. Under DAFT you only get a NL visum, but you then can live and work anywhere in the EU. No, you need to show you invest in your company (or have a valuable profession), but not need to show a profit. Renewal is not an issue. I must give

Yes we do, but it ususally will require more work to accommodate your specific situation. You might need to help us with that work to keep cost down. I'm brainstorming now: Maybe you could keep your African house or land for a few year

Yes, its all intentional, many laws. On top of that also bureaucratic hurdles, widespread incompetence and a little corruption. But our company gradually learned the solutions with the help of many Spanish and Portugese locals and high fee

An American can get a permanent working visa in the EU (most of Europe) by starting a company and having $4500 sitting idle in a bank account. You still own this $4500 and can spend it after a few years. In essence the Dutch government want

Sadly, this tendency to keep the data proprietary instead of open is found in almost all projects, ususally because of simple US or European copyright reasons. There are ways around this, for example in other countries the copyrights have e

It is also possible to add DNA material to field observations. A DNA scanner cost around $1000 and attaches to laptops and cellphones so they could be used in the field. I'm not sure if amateurs can handle the software yet, but that co

I'd be willing to help you. The largest dychotomic key [1] is partially digitised but we could transform it into a proper dataset. Copyright no longer applies to part on the Flora. There are many other sources. I remember dychotomic ke

Alan Kay's lectures on youtube are mostly about (critical) thinking and how to educate your own thinking. Each of his talks is aimed at a different audience but all address your question. For our HN audience the 1997 OOPSLA talk [1] is

The least painful approach is (and always has been) to write the entire (e-commerce) (web) app in Smalltalk, specifically Squeak (or several forks like Cuis, Pharo). I once wrote an entire webshop with Stripe payments in a single afternoon
