What was the jurisdiction ? France is among the most difficult countries for entrepreneurs in the EU (maybe the Germany too, with their written paperwork and rigidity). In top of high taxes, there is a very adversarial administration and a

I just made it softer (though I never mentioned race but economic migration), still can be too sensitive so let it be, just my opinion (I am in Eastern Europe and there the views are rather harsh, compared to Germany or France or Sweden)

I usually like to accuse people of the wildest privacy conspiracies, but here in the case of Orion, one day the founder approached me together to work with him, and I tried to see how far is he willing to do in practice (“ok maybe we could

Sounds like we don't live in the same EU. Banks are required to use Strong Customer Authentication, and they consider apps to be safer alternative than SMS. Revolut, N26 and co, are real banks, like any bank in the EU. In many countrie

Technically it's easy to come around restrictions (for example, where I live, RT.com is fully censored "to protect me"). But from a lawmaker perspective, the topic is not technical. The question, at the end, is about the enfo

Not really if you are a Chromium fork. Difficult from ground-up but from Chromium it’s rather easy. Way easier than creating an LLM. Even easier when you can hire the Chromium developers.

I have tried it (testfromhn@ was my email) and it looks nice and clean. If you push the idea further you could make it a business like https://shipfa.st/ did. It seems you tried with SupaSaaS ? Even the name was good, perha

Three countries, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are disconnecting from Russia literally in 2 weeks for that specific reason, so it's an horrible idea to interconnect everything in the current world.

Google doesn't want the leeches, they throttle the buyers who don't win enough, and Google was forced by the law to make lot of privacy improvements. For example, before the GDPR you would receive the full IP address of the user a

I needed some Chromium devs for a project so I contacted a few of the active maintainers on different platforms. Eventually had to give up: "sorry no I'm living in China, too complicated", which is sad because some of the peo

This is what happens with "autonomous" delivery robots that are operating on London campuses. They are actually controlled by "robot operators" in Estonia, though officially it's "AI". That being said, eve

Assign one safety driver per vehicle, the remote safety driver is responsible (like a driving instructor and its driving student, except the AI is the student). This way, the internal safety drivers will do everything they can to have the c

No, I wasn't referring to Kagi (which is done by a hard-working guy btw), just in general to the trend that the internet is now completely different if seen from a perspective of 2006. Storage was expensive, and data wasn't seen a

Norway is (I believe?) the flagship country for Tesla, so it may be more difficult to pierce. I remember EV's penetration is super high there. Very cool link to see the imports! I was questioning availability of the cars, because I thi

San Francisco, Zurich, etc are quite different from other places in the world. No mountains here + no garden for me, Yosemite is thousands of kilometers away. The sea has no waves. It's -5 degrees. Which is "fine", but it mea

The quality of life is Eastern Europe (and some countries) in North of Europe is great (and even greater than France and many places), but the risk of war spreading among these European countries is a real issue :/

It's true that in Western Europe it's fine to show the communist symbols. To Westerner, they never saw communism in action, only propaganda. Which means that kids can proudly wear their capitalistic-made Che Guevara t-shirt at sch

The permissions are the Chromium ones. There is literally no ads nor external SDK or ad-tech or whatever you are referring to (before there was AdMob, but it didn't make much money anyway). https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.

I’ll do a change in Kiwi edition 116 to make it selectable in the UI (it’s almost a full rewrite of Kiwi and it will go out in about 10 days). Most likely to add a setting to make it optional. The main issue we had was with search partners,

Very far, you don't need to speak Estonian unless you plan to work as a local job position that requires doing customer support (such as shop-keeper). In such case (or policeman, lawyers, doctors, etc), it's mandatory to learn t

It's not more annoying than a skippable YouTube pre-roll ad (which is sometimes directly encoded into the video feed by the streamer). From an advertiser perspective, of course it works if you have a product to sell to the audience vis
