Yep, this came up at a previous company (with 700 people at the time) that had existed before the cloud did. As AWS became more and more prevalent in 2010/11 they had to decide whether they wanted to be in the business of running physi

Definitely sounds like an inability to pitch correctly. In the case of a gambling game there are a number of things that you could pitch in a better way: * It's possible to gamble even in jurisdictions that make it illegal. * The

Blockchain(s) are certainly one of the building blocks, but it should be possible to talk about what you're building without mentioning the underlying technology. Indeed, it should be somewhat irrelevant unless people want to dig into

Web3 means a lot of things to a lot of people. In this context the decentralization enabled by blockchain or federation is probably what the GP is talking about. With a decentralized app you can't be banned in the same way (though this

Yes, this[1] was the one that I found when searching. It shows that Robinhood is it's own, but as we know they route to Citadel. A bunch of others had a problem when Apex Holdings told them to restrict trading (or something along those

I don't have a Robinhood account, and I'm not involved in the GME/WSB stuff, but I would think twice about opening a Robinhood account now. Indeed, it's been educational about which brokers are using other clearing house

Everyone has the benefit of hindsight now. Having read a little bit about Anders Tegnell, I believe he is making decisions in good faith, and you can't ask for more than that. Trying to apply his expertise to the problem. The majority

Disclaimer: I offer this in good faith, and I don't disagree with your broader points. I had to visit Stockholm twice in September to go to an Embassy. I caught the train from Copenhagen, where it was mandatory to wear masks on public

Disclaimer: Not a doctor. I find it hard to believe they haven't covered this with their phrase 3 trials, where the intent is to ensure that there is no risk at broad scale (in addition to effectiveness), and they pause the trial if an

Aside from hospital workers they're likely to be pretty high on the list, if my understanding is correct.

Also Estonia has a Digital Nomad visa specifically for remote workers, allowing you to be in the country for ~1 year. Also a lot of digital nomads use https://safetywing.com for insurance. I believe they also have a remote team

IANAL but I have been DN for a few years, albeit not a US one. In my reading, US citizens are responsible for US income tax regardless of where they are in the world. Some of that is balanced by double taxation treaties, but this doesn&#x27

It's an interesting counter example. I don't consider myself much of a wine connoisseur (I rarely drink at all). I do like to pay attention to it a little from a business perspective. It's one of so many interesting case stud

But that's exactly my point. I hear people talking about bottles of 'Moet', not champagne. I've been given or bought several Moet-Chandon bottles over the years, and I would not be able to tell you with certainty whether

Agreed if he didn't use style. On the flip side though, there is difference between the different Parmesan cheeses, so potentially he was trying to be accurate. It really depends on whether people are going to YouTube and searching &#x

I had no idea that Grana Padano was a PDO. I can't help but feel that going around cease and desisting people that are passionately pursuing hobbies is a really bad idea. It reminds me of when the word Champagne was taken to court. The

One further step: I sat there reading BASIC books in the library but never had the correct setup to actually try them, so I would play them in my head (we had computers, just not the BASIC interpreter). They were not that much different tha

I like the idea, though it does feel a little like two forms, without the ability to see much else. Sadly, not quite at the point of hiring full time employees yet (short term contractors mostly at the moment), but will keep it in mind to b
