Source? Assuming you're talking about 18% of traffic and not percentage of websites, how do you define what counts as traffic in that case? Transfer between AS's? Does internal traffic within AS's count? Does traffic between

This is a point worth emphasizing, a tax being repealed does not necessarily imply a lack of efficacy, due to the aforementioned reasons of political influence/corruption etc. Switzerland has done very well with a global wealth tax, ar

My take is indeed probably more cynical and you're very correct about Delaware being well-trodden, but it does raise the question why the FAQs mention a bunch of well known corporate tax havens [0](Cayman Islands and Singapore) and not

Its so investors can leverage the massive tax breaks available when investing in US based startups. Hence why YC also lets you found in tax havens like the Cayman Islands. Note this is probably not the official reason, as it's generall

It's worth mentioning IP law is applied on a per-territory basis (i.e. you have to register your IP in every territory you would like it enforced, and that territory's courts are solely responsible for its enforcement in that terr

If there is sufficient deviation from GDPR (who knows what will happen from this speculative article alone), the UK will probably lose its adequacy to transfer personal data, which will materially impact how international organisations can

If I understand it correctly, the recent CJEU ruling on GDPR [0] should improve the Irish DPC limitations by allowing enforcement in other member states where violations have occurred (under certain specific conditions). [0] - https:/

They pretty much already offer this with outposts (its technically their hardware but its on your premises).

Nit: Switzerland as a country is a semi-direct democracy not a direct democracy. Only 2 cantons fulfil the criteria for the classical definition of direct democracy.

I've used JSON schema a fair bit for config files for provisioning infrastructure and its been great. For example I have a kubernetes clusters JSON file cleanly schematized which specs all the clusters I need (node pools, metadata etc)

The customisability is definitely a plus, you can make slate fit in perfectly with almost any UI. Whilst you don't get complex image handling by default, I think their image handling example [0] is a really nice minimal implementation

I'm not a materials guy personally so won't be the best person to explain the exact science behind them, but they're definitely a really impressive bit of engineering. I had a quick browse of this article and it seems to give

I think the important point here is that even pilots dont know the full mechanics of a modern jet engine (AFAIK at least, I don't have an ATPL so not 100% on the syllabus). They may know basics like the Euler turbine equation and be ab

Just as an example, IBM receives almost 10,000 patents a year. At $100,000-$1,000,000 per patent, that year of patents alone in 15-20 years time would cost $1-10 billion. That is most definitely not a rounding error and would constitute as

Thanks for the response, it seems my initial take was indeed unbalanced and hadn't factored in the potential of geographically distributed raises which benefit the founders local territories whilst bringing the benefits of significant

This is probably a somewhat cynical take, but Stripe Atlas' US only offering is a big contributor to international startup brain drain which is costing local economies significantly. When countries (such as within the EU, India or Sout

Out of curiosity, given that this is among the most sensitive PII that can be stored, where is this data located for Stripe? I think this looks like an excellent product and can absolutely see the utility for so many businesses, but as a Eu

Also worth mentioning in the case of Ireland the KDB, whereby you can get an effective 6.25% rate on your corporation tax for certain R&D heavy activities (software etc.). This would be advantageous I think for most smaller businesses H

I feel this is a fairly pedantic correction, though of course you're very correct nonetheless. My opinion is that banning all of a nations major airlines from operating in your airspace is functionally equivalent to banning that nation

Worth noting that the EU has banned entire nations (such as Kazakhstan and others) from flying in EU airspace before for not meeting safety expectations. It is absolutely within possibility to ban Belarus for an overt Chicago convention vio

Indeed I was referring to yugabyte, apologies for the clumsy phrasing, I havent used crdb but I guess it is a postgres frontend layered on a KV store instead of a document store?

As I understand it, Vitess is basically a really powerful sharding system, which goes a step further than typical sharding solutions by basically making the shards one or more unique databases. In the case of someone like slack, because you

Sure, with respect to the language used in the original post, modal logic can be used as a formal basis for how we derive meaning from phrases like 'must' and 'never'. This has a lot of overlap with the field of deontolo

AAD implements SAML, OIDC, SCIM, LDAP, Kerberos, FIDO2 and more. Even if it was not a Microsoft product, it would have better non-proprietary interoperability than most other SSO platforms.

Azure AD is the biggest in the game by far in terms of SSO, stretching every vertical from education to investment banking.
