Ok, so I went and checked what are the taxes for detergent powder. It could be very wrong as I don't know the nuances of the sales tax. There are the federal import duties + taxes, amounting to 29.4%. Note that this rate is specific fo

The issue is not the tariff rate per se, but the extremely complex and dysfunctional tax system that benefits the king's cronies. One example I like to use is the price of dishwasher detergent. Take in account that having dishwashers i

Haven't tried specifically with keycloak, but it should work. Keycloak advertises LDAP and MS Active Directory compatibility. If I find the time, I can test and write up about this integration.

In my country, as you can't just switch customer's plans at will, the telcos structured them as limited-time offers that have no commitment or penalties on top of a regulated base pricing which is like 2-4x the going rate. After a

I’ve found running Samba as a Domain Controller pretty straightforward for this exact use case.

If it is like in Brazil, the tax-enabled receipt printers have onboard memory that stores the transactions to send them off-line if the tax agency's servers are down. Something that I've learned when I worked with those devices in

I dream of electric sheep when I'm doing MRIs. Nah, I'm kidding, there's no way I can sleep inside a MRI machine. I just think of dancing electrons going through my body. I also think it is an extreme version of dubstep.

There are red colored outlets just for this case. It's just careless to not install them.

I'd rather say it comes from the Spanish Don, as it is used not as a title but in formal occasions, together with the given name.

The problem is that at least for clothing, product descriptions are crap, dimensions are all over the place, products don’t match the picture and every other brand has its own definition of sizing. The retailers/brands are the dishones

As I understand it, development kits (such as this board) are exempt of certification. Nonetheless, the rest of your argument still stands.

The problem AWS has is the design of VPC internals. As the first hyperscaler, they gotta pay the legacy tax.

Sometimes calling sales can get you a better price or benefit to make you close the deal and buy the product straight away. If you have done your research beforehand, it’s a good way to get a discount.

You can see the bench surface; things are neatly arranged; no cardboard boxes storing half-done projects, etc. I have the theory our desks/workbenches reflect our own mind, but I digress... :)

Their moat is on transferring data out of AWS (and GCP, Azure, etc). A competitor would have to be cheaper as to pay the migration out first. Sure, if you have TB-scale data it is still doable, but once you reach PB-scale it's better t
