I'm aware of that. However since the service in question only seems to handle the business to consumer case, I don't see a need for asking for seller's country.

Is there any reason to ask for the country of the business/seller? As far as I know it's irrelevant and the VAT only depends on the buyer's country (for digital goods/services).

When selling physical goods B2C within the european union the VAT rules of the seller's country apply. That means shoes shipped from Germany to Ireland come with the german VAT of 19%. However the sevice discussed in this submission

Great suggestion. It's easy to forget the problems non-tech small businesses face when you spend your days on HN. As someone who works at a company that deals with these small businesses I see it everyday. For many of them providing si

In terms of raw income, sure. However one might consider modern social security and employee protection standards as part of the compensation.

Right, kind of disappointing that the author relied on Wifi. To draw any conclusions about the provided bandwidth I'd only trust measurements made using a wired ethernet connection. Wifi depends on too many variables.

While this may seem like an obvious observation, I have yet to see a cloud storage service that does it as well as Dropbox. And that includes attempts by huge companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Google and Apple.

Yes, fair point. That's the kind of content I actually did enjoy a lot.

Of course, you're right - in my country they are both Netflix-exclusives and it's easy to forget that it doesn't necessarily mean original content. Still, it emphasizes my point.

It's ironic then that I regard House Of Cards' early seasons, particularly Season 1, as Netflix' best content to date. To me it felt as if they really aimed for a masterpiece. These days they seem to be fine with catering to

House Of Cards was very, very promising in its early seasons. It almost felt like a future alltime favorite, but declined after Season 1. Better Call Saul is shaping up very nicely and Fargo turned out to be better than I expected. Other th

I really hope they don't lose focus on the quality of their original content. I understand that not everything Netflix does is tailored to me, particularly due to Netflix' growing, increasingly mainstream audience, diverse and var

Even for sets and mixes I think Mixcloud is way ahead of Soundcloud. Unfortunately I constantly see significantly less engagement for my content over there.

Not only that, but it seems to be most used IDE in the web development category. I had to make sure they didn't mean Visual Studio Code, which appeared a few positions further down though.

How else would a subscription service work? If you bought your music instead of renting it you'd truly own it without DRM or any other strings attached. As a very frequent music buyer, I'd say the situation is very comfortable and

The problem, as I understand it, is that Amazon mixes inventory from various sellers as long as its the same product. Or appears to be. It makes sense on paper but obviously doesn't work when counterfeit products slip into the stock. I

Thanks. You might have a point there. I have to admit that I'm surprised to see such low figures for the average yearly spending on purchased music.

I'm very tired of this myth. When I see these arguments they usually only cover major labels that operate in big budget, mainstream releases that might indeed be unfavorable to the artist. However the fact that labels come in all forms

> Grooveshark tried to cut out that middle-man and they got sued to hell by the labels. Let's call it what it was: Plain piracy. Grooveshark had no rights and licensing in place for the content they streamed.

Sure, I understand that. Spotify is an excellent and criminally cheap solution for most people. I don't think it's good for artists, but that's another discussion. I just wanted to describe my point of view and as passionate

Prices for used Wii Us are around 200 EUR in my region. I'd say that's not a bargain and makes the idea of a new Switch for an extra 100 bucks way more attractive.
