Ukraine is not part of NATO. Should they wish to do so, they are a sovereign state and should be free to apply, entirely irrespective of the feelings of anyone in Moscow. Until the day of their full admission to NATO, they cannot be held li

I think the days when you could just set up a company in some random country and run it from Germany are pretty over, the Finanzamt will just treat it as a domestic entity unless you can prove you've gone full nomad.

I worry that Lukas is about to find out about the business end of the Umwandlungssteuergesetz: converting a Einzelunternehmen to a GmbH is a surprising amount of faff, and once you've done it you (normally) end up with a company you ca

Unfortunately, the "Rapid Application Development" thing also seems to apply to the library itself: you get a new release every other week, and stuff breaks in somewhat unpredictable places. So it's easy to prototype somethin

After reading this I’m fully confused by how they define dark matter. Stuff that doesn’t come from the distro package manager? Everything installed via other mechanisms? Assets copied into the container as part of the build mechanism? Would

When you say "might" - you're aware Tornado was actually used for these things to the tune of at least half a billion dollars? Basically, the case you're making is: they might have actively aided and abetted nuclear prol

It is law enforcement working as intended. Freedom is complicated, I guess. Judging from your tone I suspect you'll love this fun fact: amongst other things, this sort of sanctions regime stems from the PATRIOT Act. Beacon of liberty t

If you were to send money through tornado from now on, and this was discovered and linked to your identity, you would face a criminal liability in the US.

Yes. Exactly this is happening here, and not in a rhetorical way. And the US government have, you know, guns.

Curious to see how the crypto world will respond. They'll probably take a minute to realise that being sanctioned is unlike being indicted: if someone is indicted, they have a problem but you can technically keep doing business with

Interesting point! I wonder if https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Property:P8554 would be a good model for this? Perhaps this is also a bit different between countries - in some, I think the government has to resign while i

You mean the thing when the ETH people are going to hand the power over the people with the most money? I'm sure this idea is deeply chilling to... venture capitalists, they're probably shaking in their boots.
