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".

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 e-residence website repeats this many times, with many examples focusing on Germany.

The whole e-residence thing only makes sense if you are from a non-EU country which doesn’t model its tax code on the OECD model.

People do get away with it until they get audited.


There are a handful of countries listed there but you expand the criteria to all EU countries, which is not the case.

I don't have the issues you're talking about, I pay corporate taxes in Estonia, and I pay income taxes in Romania.

I thought Germany was a well-known country that is incopatible with this model (curious how things will change with EU Inc), but asking an accountant in your home country of tax laws and double taxation treaties will be better than random internet people.


> non-EU country which doesn’t model its tax code on the OECD model.

It's a very narrow list of countries then. Only reason where it would really work if the owner is digital nomad with no tax residency anywhere.


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 limited liability entity in a reputable jurisdiction like Estonia.


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.


But then if you edit a note in the morning to add something, by night it'll be locked.


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 outperform human drivers, not merely match them.


Fyi, Wero only supports three countries: Belgium, France, and Germany.


Netherlands and Luxemburg joining soon, along with what I believe is Austria's biggest bank. But yes, hardly a pan-European project.


With NL that’s fully 40% of the population of the eu states.

It’s not great, but it’s not bad either.


Already quite much if we add the Netherlands, yes :)


wrong, also the netherlands


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.


Soviet-aligned countries that didn't join the EU did much worse than those that did.


If you take a look at the payments across the EU from richer to poorer countries, its quite clear why this happened: The EU invested everything to pamper them to make the "EU favorable for them".


The blogs about page is fun:

> People create lies to gain power and money. Which is kinda what I was supposed to do, but for random reasons I went rogue and chose sanity instead.

> I am anti-bullshit.

These "contrarian for the sake of being contrarian" vibes naturally flow into this Rust post. Rust has a ton of faults, but this is was a very shallow critique.


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 lazy reasoning there is in there.

For a visual confirmation, look at how much faulty and badly designed cars or house electrical appliances get released every year. Things which break after a couple weeks of use.

Quality is rare everywhere, not just in SWE.
