AFAIU it's just for EU residents, it's supposed to tie in with the local tax/labor/etc code, it just replaced the corporate law part.

You could setup a European company (SE) for 20 years or so, this is a new kind that solves some of the issues that one had. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Societas_Europaea

Sure, but five hours is a lot of time, and a small fix takes little to review. So, 1 hour? Sure. Two hours? Ok. But five hours means you only look at your teammates code once a day. It's ok for a process where you work on something fo

This was the case in Italy too until a few decades ago, except for some specific locations with a casino license, and a national kind of sport lottery. Since sport betting became legal the issues with gambling addiction have skyrocketed but

But the argument for not having cash so that it does not encourage robberies is a real argument and it does indeed work. ATMs have long had devices that stain cash if you try to steal from them. Bank cashiers used to have "we don'

This is also the premise of pair programming/extreme programming: if code review is useful, we should do it all the time .

But there's more than one person that can review a PR. If you work in a team of 5 people, and each one only reviews things twice a day, that's still less than 5 hours any way you slice it.

I go to LinkedIn to message old colleagues whose other contacts I lost, and the thing that baffles me is the thing where people describe things in this weirdly epic slop style. "We were doing X. But then we suddenly found that Y. This

While I think education matters, I also think at some point if something is purely negative for society one should restrict it, rather than try to reach an ideal state were people are educated enough to handle it right. It Is illiberal bu

Index funds have a variety of ways to replicate the index beyond physical replication, including options, buying "similar things", sampling etc.. So yeah, they don't really need to stick to 100% of the presented issue.

Does the author realize the ai slop image does not make any sense? I get the allure of AI images for blogging, but for Pete's sake review what you're publishing or don't do it.

Because you have to draw a line somewhere, if you want a line. This same reasoning applies to sex consent, voting, driving, working. We want to say "only qualified people can do x" but it's impossible to encode this in regula

Is it just "machine tags" or was it also tags on the web in general? I feel Flickr and del.icio.us were the first mass adopters of tags, and everyone else followed, but I'm not sure.
