Spoken like a realist. I’ve frequently interacted with the worst parts of Europe, my Telegram is constantly spammed with ads for guns in Benelux (FGC-9 really booming lately). I’ve stayed in the “ghetto” in Sweden where shootings happen on

The powder cannot be responsible for those crimes, if it was, the government could solve the problem overnight by simply allowing a legal supply of white powder. And if that’s the case, how is the government not to blame?

None, MomoXenosaga has no idea how bad things are in Mexico and is just regurgitating alarmist talking points of right-wing populists.

Standard practice anywhere you have Chinese people, most are perfectly reasonable but many are deeply indoctrinated nationalists. Unfortunately the rest aren’t willing or able to do anything about the genocide cheerleader squad.

If you’re not on any sanctions lists there shouldn’t be any issues. Your residency/citizenship does not play any part in forming a UK LTD. It might affect your ability to open an account with some banks though. These guys are okay htt

Seems like setting up in houses is a common pattern for Bay Area self driving car startups then. I’d guess that the availability of decent office space with workshop bays is essentially nonexistent

The bit about big red flags all around seems about right for comma, but I don’t think they’ve ever had an office in SV. Pretty sure in 2016 Comma.ai was at 41 Santa Monica Way in West Portal.

That would be a very strange detail to leave out. But sure, it’s the only way their comment makes any sense. Otherwise, spending investor money on office space seems like a perfectly normal thing to do. The $ amount described doesn’t seem t
