Most of high energy theoretical physics is very non-rigorous or even hand-wavy. I think AI isn’t there yet for such problems.

EU currently emits only 5% of the globally emitted greenhouse gases. You can cut all the city hopping you want and it won't make the slightest difference.

Last time I visited NL many shops (including Albert Heijn) only supported Maestro, so as a foreigner you effectively can't pay with Visa or Mastercard.

The set of core services on AWS remains amazing: EC2, S3, IAM, EKS, Route53, RDS etc. AWS IAM is extremely well designed when you compare it with the spaghetti monster IAM systems of other clouds. Every time I try the new cool thing suppose

I hate to say it, but you don't have any issues mainly because the romanian tax office is just more relaxed than the german one. > A company is considered tax resident in Romania if it has its ‘place of effective management’ (POEM)

There is no such evidence. The widely accepted models of physics are all continuous. If you see headlines like "physicists think our world might be discrete" please read them as "scientists cured cancer in mice".

Yes, the specific details are outlined in the bilateral tax treaties between Estonia and the given country, but it is almost always tax evasion. It mostly makes sense for people from countries with weak corporate tax enforcement that need a

Please read up on what a permanent establishment means from a tax perspective. Most countries tax laws, especially EUs unambiguously state that the Estonian company will be taxed as if it was a company in your primary residence country. The

Days "roll-over" when you sleep, so it should be safe to rollover notes which haven't been edited for 6 hours. That way there is no fixed rollover time.

A well-written article that is a pleasure to read, in our slop driven day and age. I have been skeptic of the no extra sensors approach Tesla took since they announced it . It is obvious that extra sensors is what can make self-driven cars

The amount of AI slop hitting the HN front page is getting out of hand. Then you open the comments and there are obvious LLM bots commenting on it. Wonder if this is the end of HN.

Nice. I have normal winter gloves without the special “touchscreen” coating, so in freezing temps I became proficient with using my nose to unblock and answer calls on my iphone.

Huh, such a self-deprecating take on software engineering can only come from a software engineer. If the author spent more time with people working in other "real" engineering or science fields, he would know how much slop and laz

You are arguing about semantics of residence permit vs work authorization which is not the core of the issue. If you get fired and don’t find a new employer then you leave in 3 months. Also, it is definitely not just a formality to change e

Really? Most if not all EU work permits, especially highly-qualified ones are tied to an employer for at least the first 2+ years. If you get fired you have up to 3 months to find another employer who is willing to take over your residence

Unfortunately io_uring is disabled by default on most cloud workload orchestrators, like CloudRun, GKE, EKS and even local Docker. Hope this will change soon, but until then it will remain very niche.

Stopped paying for Kagi after finding out that they are using Yandex for some part of the search results and are paying Yandex 2% of their revenue for that. For the unaware, Yandex Search is tightly integrated with the Kremlin.
