I find it funny because; 1. Amazon reports 250bn$+ revenue for entire EU in 2025. (of course, revenue != profit) while all 250bn$+ evaporates to somewhere. Their own page [1] reports 225k employees across EU, meaning that each employee retu

No, but EU should somehow mandate products and services that are built within EU and used within EU or elsewhere, should receive the benefit(s) in terms of taxation. To give an (absurd) example; You work in country X, but the parent company

Those taxes are paid by the individuals, not by the companies. And the decision how to distribute these (corporate tax) should be done by the government. Essentially, companies evading [corporate] tax decides themselves where to distribut

Slack is expected as Kubernetes/Cloud-Native/CNCF already used Slack. They also had extensive set of bots and integrations, including GitHub workflows too. TIL, Google Labs use discord :)

Amazon already has not been paying any sort of income tax to the EU. There was a lawsuit in Belgium but Amazon has won that in late-2024 since they had a separate agreement in/with Luxembourg. Speaking for EU, all big tech already not

Love this idea, as it is already implemented in a $FAANG company tool. (used company wide by 80k+ SDEs). I got used to seeing these in the logs and terminal. So much that my brain now automatically ignores it from my view/seeing like i

Amazon ($AMZN) has moved to M365 in an “all-in” fashion just this year. Being maintained an old (2016?) on-premise exchange server and share-point installations for 10 years… I wonder how it will fit with the “Frugality” LP.
