The difference is shareholder (=Gesellschafter) and ceo (=Geschäftführer). They may be the same person. So paying wages for the work as Geschäftsführer is fine (reasonable amount, taxes, etc), paying out money for being a Gesellschafter is

Founder wage is a company purpose, else it wouldn't be allowed. Its not your personal money anymore once deposited into the companies account.

What do you mean with if the server goes down? As far as I know Hetzner will replace tje hardware for free: "Support services include the free replacement of defective hardware."

The title is heavy clickbait. To say I just bought a Porsche when it was actually a Volkswagen is also wrong. Just because they belong to the same owner doesn't make it the same brand.

At least for european consumers the 12 month limit is probably illegal, as it is equivalent to cash and probably also needs to be refundable (similar to prepaid phone cards).

That free credits have some kind of short expiry date seems to be normal for me.

U-Bahn is a closed circle so not much happens (except accidents). The issue is with shared rails and there is too much traffic. On the road there is also a lot of delay but it's more accepted because oneself is in charge. Using the tra

For me personally I didn't notice the downtime in the first hour or so. When using some website assets were not loading, but that's it. Turnstile outage maybe impacted me most. Could be because I'm EU based and Cloudflare is

That sounds a bit harsh - probably more simplification than manipulation.

Free speech ends when it conflicts with the law or the rights of others - for example, the right to make a free voting decision. Spreading fake news or knowingly lying is not free speech, but rather an abuse of the term.

Is this blog article AI generated? The last sentence asks to leave a comment in the comments section. I didn't find a comment section.

I think the bank of the consumer is also completely automatically getting the money back. The risk is on the initiator if the payment (=PayPal).

You are not required to accept the tracking. You can pay to remove tracking with their "Pur-Abo".

This tax is a simplification for very small businesses. With 2k revenue a month you are not even close being a small business. Not profit but revenue.

Keep in mind there are two methods for taxation: the simplified earnings value method (13.75 factor) or the actual unrealized profit of the business. If you believe your company will not be profitable in the future because you’re moving awa

That is actually the intention: to tax as if you sold the business. But with a payment in 7 yearly rates. The tax intends to tax the value of the company that is not yet taxed (on a personal tax level). It does account for already paid busi

It also depends on how the company is valued: If based on balance sheet (retained profits + share capital) e.g. 5×100k retained = 500k value, the exit tax is 18k/year for 7 years. If simplified earnings method with factor 13.75 is used

I think the numbers in the article are mixed up. Earnings 200k. Wage 120k. So the profit is 80k for the calculation. 80×13,75=1.100k. 60% of it = 660k. Personal tax at 120k income = 45%. More likely less as for health insurance, etc. 660k×4

Gave me also a better feeling. GPT-5 is not immediately changing the world but I still feel from the demo alone its a progress. Lets see how it behaves for the daily use.

I agree, there may be an additional step necessary if the page doesn't handle this case already, but this way you can still prove (more easily) ownership to the support.

I personally have my personal email as Google account email, so even when I lose my access to google I am still in control of my domain (and email).

Calculating without energy costs: The A10 Gpu itself costs 3200$. With a 3 year usage that is 0,002$ per minute. From the blog post the cost per minute is charged at 0,02$, so a premium of 10x. So with energy if you can load the GPU at mini

The "not optimized" self hosted deployment is 3x slower and costs 34x the price using the cheapest GPU / a weak model. I don't see the point in self hosting unless you deploy a gpu in your own datacenter where you really

I think the point of the blog is still valid as the law applies to any content publisher/social media platform of any size. Even Hackernews could be a target if I understood correctly.

I get both sides. Kids need some sort of protection online. But the UK law is maybe too harsh for small companies. Also hinting at VPN use to bypass the law isn't smart legally.

You can also ask people to repeat a text and some will fail. What I want to say is that even if some LLMs (probably only older ones) will fail doesn't mean future ones will fail (in the majority). Especially if benchmarks indicate they

I'm totally not into Bitcoins but nice and interesting writeup. I very much like the interactivity of the article.
