I’ve used Wise a few times and cant complain. Process was fast and straightforward.

There are more efficient ways to achieve the same and get a bunch of other positive side effects in one go: Land Value Taxation. Henry George proposed it already in 1879 in his boo…

IANAL If you already have a company in your home country but you might want to check EB-1 visa's.

Seems like a lot of people say they want to pay per article but in reality don’t. There was such a service in The Netherlands but they pivoted to a subscription model (still p*ssed…

No, it’s not. From a Product Owner point of view, it’s a piece of shit. Hard to set priorities, hard to follow progress. I’ll take jira any day.

Only that doesn’t happen in real life. People on the brink of poverty don’t inherit property. And if they do, they can always sell it and put that money to better use.

If the value goes up when all else stays the same, it is actually the land value that goes up. If you completely renovate the house, a property tax would go up but the lvt stays th…

You most certainly should be paying the equivalent of 10 households. You deny 9 others the ability to use the land. If you have real use for the land, paying the lvt won’t be an is…

Become a contractor, you'll be in the 100 to 200k/year. (ok yes, that's before taxes)

Yep, runs just fine. Except for some security settings I haven't noticed much difference with the older versions.

Notion.so?

1/ Don't attend meetings that have no or vague agenda 2/ Law of two feet: If you feel the meeting isn't for you, leave. 3/ No developer should endure recurring meetings (except for…

You're mainly talking about the progressive shutdown? I think it makes perfect sense. It makes teams that didn't get the shutdown notice aware of it in an acute way and encourages …

SimCity up until SC4. EA really dropped the ball there, completely destroying a classic. No one ever asked for a multiplayer version. And most just want to build a big city, not th…

This. I still have the CS6 installed and use it often.

Blendle became available in the US recently. You pay per article you read, prices varying per source and I believe article length. If after reading an article you found the quality…

There is very little good about the current education system: 1/ Dividing kids in age based groups is very poor. They only learn negative behaviour from each other. Skill based wou…

> From the user's point of view, Booking.com is a horrible cluttered web site with 1990'ish approaches to design, usability and online marketing. Strange because they A/B test lite…

Yep, I can agree with this. They also send out a mail twice a day with headlining stories. There's almost always at least on story that interests me. Blendle really is the ideal to…

A while back I attended a presentation and the speaker summed it up nicely: "We live in the 21st century, we go to work in the 20th and our kids go to school in the 19th." And the …

Write Heavy is when you are mainly using your ES cluster to log data while your searches are minimal in comparison. Logging is a typical example of this (you save a lot of data but…

This looks like a good basic configuration. You should add a note that this is for a read-heavy ES cluster. If you have a write-heavy cluster (thinking ELK), you'll want a differen…

- Don't go straight to college, take a year off or you'll bore out and drop out. - Try not to avoid what you're actually good at, you'll end up in IT anyway. - Stop wasting money, …
