To be quite honest it's and nice effort. But I think most large companies already don't pay that much of taxes. Like in Belgium the company tax is around 33%. There are already some accounting tricks to get the taxable amount down

Same reasoning here. Like my financial data local. I also use own toolset using ledger cli for reporting and entry. People developed tools to convert CSV from banks to ledger format. Using text only and my own toolchain I can setup how I wa

According to me DO is still a good hosting company. Works good for the price you pay. Taking offsite backups is always a good idea.

Because cash won't be that easy to use anymore. Where I live they want to ban using cash like in a restaurant. Because it's easier for the government to check the restaurant that they pay taxes on the income they have. This means

Don't get it. There are still different businesses doing more or less the same thing. Just the media tells the story about the big players. Small profitable companies are still surviving in the current market. As an example: Amazon is

Your first argument is not realy valid. Did he learn how to do it while working in box and succeeded in it? I have started companies and worked as contractor in domains I didn't really have experience in and actually knew if I could

To you it's hollow. To me, enlightenment is such a fluffy abstract thing. So I prefer the good things in moderation. And read the article pleasure can be obtained from worthwhile things too.

Don't know how it's at your end but where I'm from it's the middle class that pays for the taxes. I'm middle class and in the highest tax bracket. Rich people have money. Making money using money is almost not taxed

End of the the 90's dreamed of moving to US and even got a possibility. By the time I was ready to it the first dot com bubble bursted. To be quite honest I only knew US from the movies. Following news and recent developments I'm

You can get residency in Bulgaria for just starting a company and showing a bit cash to prove you can support yourself. I think it cost me all a few 100 euro's :)

Well if you have to write a piece of advice not to buy a new bike because it's dirty... I think you're so far off the normal world that I can't even comprehend. That the author didn't even know how to clean it. There is

Read about it 15 years ago in a Belgian magazine. A Belgian doctor was claiming the same. To be quite honest I use it already for 15 years and indeed it changes you. It helps me to be in "sana in corpore sano". Let's hope the

"Unless of course you're a criminal, in which case you can handily avoid a lot of this!" Actually it's even more serious. If you try to avoid it it's a criminal act and your labeled as a criminal. To be very honest

Well as you say an editor doesn't need updating that much. I used VIM for ages but had an hiatus in programming and when I came back I start using sublime. And now I switched back to textmate. Like textmate it's simple sufficient

It's more or less everywhere in Europe. In Belgium if you fail you're a loser. But if you succeed you have done it probably in a shady way and you're a cheater because it's not possible to make 'a lot' of money

Well if it's an employee why should he be taking risks? He's paid until 17h... We can be flexible no doubt, but if one week you work 60 hours to meet a deadline next week you should only work 20. Flexibility works in 2 directions.
