They do have "contact sales" as a filter option which is nice if you're looking for examples of that. It only has one (not that great IMO) example though.

Nobody is making that strawman of an argument. Most states give CPS very little (or no) ability to simply ignore reported child abuse. They get reports and they have to investigate. "The local law enforcement agency is required to inve

Paying taxes is good, lawful, even patriotic. Also good and lawful is moving a company somewhere where you'll pay less in taxes and can grow faster and hire more people (and is at worst patriotically neutral). An exit tax is a country

It's pretty clear from context, honestly.

It's a math problem - you don't need a ton of context to understand it (although I did read the entire article). This is simply the German government being petulant and punishing successful people for moving a company somewhere th

Someone should tell the German government about the internet. Who cares where you physically are?

Germany seems like a great country to be an employee as long as you're happy with making a fraction of what you'd make in any other country and have no designs of doing anything more with your professional life. Provided you can e

No reasonable person on the planet can look at that table showing a €700k exit tax on a company making €200k/yr profit and think "yeah that sounds fair."

I've actually changed my mind on this, if you're working in a project that's doesn't have a ton of early-lifecycle v0 packages. If there is a lot of quick churn in your dependencies, yeah you want to devote dedicated eng

Literally, since it's likely just to save some fractions of a penny on yearly storage.

It's an incentive but it's certainly not a control. Controls stop something from happening, they don't respond to it after the fact. Controls would be things like security checkpoints, network monitoring, random searches, tha

You seem really worked up over some perceived slight by people you'll never meet running some random website committed against you, personally, with intent. You think they have contempt for you? "The feeling or attitude of regar

There's a lot of unanswered questions from the article which is seems anyone with even mediocre skills as a journalist should be willing and able to answer. It mentions the mine "collapsed" in 1989. Does that mean literally?

I think ITAR is mostly just to stop the outright sale of controlled items to foreign entities, not necessarily to prevent IP theft or corporate espionage.

But the site is for software managing... CCTV solutions. I didn't know what NVR meant either but it seems reasonable for Frigate to assume 90% of the people coming across their site would be given the context.

And if you're worried about threat actors on the level of backdoor/compromised firmware, the last thing you should be doing is using TP-Link Tapo cameras.

Those international bodies and agreements only have legitimacy because nations agree that they do. To take a slightly different take, Mexico exists as an objective fact. The EU can decide not to recognize Mexico as a country but Mexico cont

Police and courts have legitimacy because they are created by the sovereign nation. There is no sovereign entity above the nation - you're comparing apples and hammers.

Who else would approve it? The country is the atomic unit of global governance. Everything else is just hand-shake deals and "promises." If your country says you can do something, you can do it.

What's crazy is that you can so confidently claim "tipping is a thing of the past" when it's... not? You can think tipping should go away, that's a completely valid viewpoint. But your statement is just objectively

Sure it can. I'm not saying it's free but it's not a foregone conclusion that 100% (or any percent) of that cost must be passed on to the consumer. If a manufacturer/distributor/restaurant is willing to accept low
