It was the initial incentive, but it's the only English speaking country in the eurozone (aside from Malta) and there's a huge number of companies who have massive capital investments (pharma/biomedical). Now there's a v

I don't know what to expect exactly, but these numbers seem quite small. Wonder if bad actors are moving to other channels

Hahaha. Even better, the twitterer specializes in digital detoxes (a worthy cause, but counter to Twitter's goals). Maybe his secret plan is to turn down services in a volunteer capacity

>Aztec is on the cutting edge of zero-knowledge SNARK development. Built on PLONK — the paradigm-defining universal zk-SNARK used by leading zero-knowledge projects like Mina, Dusk, Zcash, and zkSync. I have an open mind about this area

Comparing their personal lives is also interesting - Crichton, married 5 times, Grisham married once. Not morally judging someone for getting divorced, but I suspect such an ambitious life (Crichton) left little room for personal relationsh

This isn't correct. You pay CGT on the difference between grant and sale The one loophole is to sell with 4 weeks, that is CGT exempt.

This is country specific. The stock grant price and the vest or sale price are used in my country to assess gains, so you still have capital gains to pay even if you sell right after vesting

>Proximity to the university system breeds pro-EU attitudes because the EU enforces a similar ideology in Europe to that found in universities That's an interesting claim - do you have evidence to justify it? Not disagreeing entirel

You could summarize it as fanciful brexit economics crashing into reality. The dark irony is that it's from someone (Truss) who wasn't originally in favour of brexit. The FT described her economic strategy as "cakeism" -

I'm not sure that the electorate are educated well enough though - pro-brexit votes were higher in poorer, less-well educated areas (there was a strong linear correlation between the two published in The Economist). Agree with your gen

Not sure if this is an option, bit I have a pixel 3 Android and have explored a few custom launchers to achieve this. Currently I use "minimalist phone", I've also used Siempo. Both are amazing, cut down on phone clutter and

It's definitely not a perfect solution, but one approach could have been for the author to use a consumer Gmail account and to have set up the gsuite account as an alias.

My feeling is that hard proof around wire-fraud will be sufficient for her to be found guilty.

I totally agree that English can be used entirely for businesses in other euro countries but for a US company it is attractive for employees/families to be in country where English is an official language.

Also it is (and was) the only English speaking country in the eurozone. Tax was a huge factor in drawing some of the big names but the double-Irish (the worst aspect of tax avoidance) had been phased out. Corporate tax is 12.5% which is low

In my experience (many years on the east coast as an immigrant) I found people very friendly. I felt like people cared less about where you are from and what you do (blue collar/white collar) compared to my home country. In some larger

To help build up a credit score you can register for a credit-card and try to use it as much as possible (paying it off in full each month). Once you build up a paper-trail it gets easier, but can be tricky to start.

You can look at a few of the sheets people link to here and just fiddle around with changing things too to see what happens

Griswolds are fantastic - I heard that they were made using a different process to the modern sand-casting and the surface is much smoother.

I really like it. I wonder if the text could be dropped once it starts. I found myself reading it each time which ended up distracting me a little and sometimes I would rush and tapped the opposite of what I intended.
