They're European (Deutsche Telekom), which might be part of why they prefer to work that way.

Yup. I did a trial and their product came out on top, but their sales tactics were so aggressive that I went elsewhere. They were trying to call me 6+ times a day.

I'm getting about 10 hours on my M1 16" MBP running a JetBrains IDE and 8 Docker containers.

Your registrar isn't doing the necessary due diligence then - mine made me send them a scan of either passport/ID or residency permit. https://eurid.eu/en/register-a-eu-domain/brexit-notice/

As far as I can tell, that feedback goes into a black hole. I've sent many corrections there, not a single one has been adopted, including ones where entire streets didn't exist (i.e. they exist on Maps but have never existed IRL)

Yeah, the company I work for recently got acquired by a US corporate. I went from one ~15min stand-up call a day to 3-4 hours of meetings per day, all mandated by the US VPs. Our company has had to double our number of developers just to ge

It's just a proposal by an academic. Probably intended to spark a conversation, as NZ is reviewing its privacy and data sovereignty law.

In case anyone doesn't know, Sky News Australia is their Fox News (same owner).

It really was off-putting the way the main guy was saying words like "this is so exciting" while having zero facial emotion and a dead look in his eyes. Felt like somebody was holding a gun to his head and making him read off a pr

Reading the suit, it is interesting that it is very much based around the fact that Quad9 already blocks resolution for "malicious" domains, and therefore already has a censorship process in place. Basically "you're alre

Switzerland isn't in the EU. In this case it is a separate treaty which allows it.

The "almost-EU" countries (Switzerland, Norway and Iceland) have a treaty with the EU covering cross-border civil disputes, called the Lugano Convention. That gives the Hamburg court jurisdiction in this matter.

Does the Danish one not contain name etc? The idea was that you'd be comparing that against photo ID.

It is cryptographically signed, so creating your own QR code that would be accepted by the apps would be difficult without the signing key. Even ignoring that though: including both the ID and detail allows it to work both ways. In official

It's part of the Play Store. You'd need to install a non-Google build of Android (e.g. LineageOS) which doesn't include Play Store/Services, which also means you can't download apps etc from there.

Half as Interesting. It's more short form, humerous content. Wendover is the longer form, more serious stuff.

Exactly. I can't even imagine how the US system is meant to work with something like Apple Pay. I don't carry my physical card, there's no need to when it is in my phone.

Correct, you need to have enough money to get by while the work permit is processed. If you get a job via remote interviews, and book the work permit appointment in advance of coming, you can turn it around pretty fast though - I had my wor

Oh absolutely, not relevant for OP, just pointing out that "There’s no such thing as Green Card in Europe" isn't quite true as a Blue Card is pretty similar.

Unless you're from a country with an extensive visa-free agreement for Schengen. In those cases you enter the country as a tourist, and then apply for a work permit (not visa) at a local government office. It is generally not possible

If you don't have a degree, but have a decent amount of experience, Germany will generally still happily take you (but not all EU countries - depends how desperate they are for devs). You need to go through the standard German skilled

There is the Blue Card though, which is EU-wide.

Perhaps where you are, but in Berlin they have their own vans and drivers.

Also in central Berlin with the same speed connection. But my friends in the US, both in major metropolitan areas, can only dream of such a connection. One has no option but ADSL which reaches 8Mbps on a good day, the other is luckier and h

I'm living in Germany, and coming from NZ (where we have fairly universal 1Gbps FTTH) it has certainly been a big step down, but it can't compare to some of the insanity that my US friends deal with.

Wow. I'm a complete outsider to this, not using FreeBSD or pfSense or Wireguard - but this blog post makes Netgate seem incredibly unprofessional. Especially to anyone who actually read the mailing list exchanges.

Exactly this. Plus, some tax treaties don't include types of income beyond salary/wage - think income from investments, self-employed/contracting, etc.

Some double taxation treaties only apply to salary/wage income and not self-employed (which YouTube would count as).
