Idk where you are coming from but I am Greek and compared to Greece there is ZERO bureaucracy. You send your documents pretty much whenever you like, you don't get fined for stupid things and you just need to prepare the financial report once per year. We are talking about a very clear and flat system. 20% tax on dividend and for good tax payers it can go as low as 14% as far as I remember. The only "bureaucracy" things is that you have to travel all the way to your country's Estonian embassy to get your e-residency card.
Last but not least, don't count on Estonian banks. They don't like e-residents and even if they like them today, don't trust them.

Claude Shannon was the father of computer science (information theory) and modern telecomunications (maximum theoretical data rate) also.
Unfortuantely he is not praised as much maybe because his life was kinda.. boring compared to other scientists on the fields so there is no much to present in a movie for example. Novertheless it's always good when some nerds remember him and his work lives on!
Programs spend the vast amount of their cycles in a small sub-set of the code. There is generally very little to be gained by optimizing code that isn't in the small subset.
I totaly agree with the author. Not even the smartphone or the iphone brought such a sudden change to so many people and in many cases, for free. I know we want to oppose this huge thing just because it doesn't make sense moraly but when you learn using this tool there is no way back.
Just imagine what is coming in the next 5-10 years. Even if the tools remain at the same level as today, people have learned to use it so well that ever sector every industry will speed up tremendously. We will see great new products and ideas emerging. Just can't wait for the revolution.
Trackers tend to suffer from mechanical failures. Even 15 years ago, there was only one way to make money out of solar panels: Install them and forget them. If you need to waste time and money on the installation then the small profit vanishes really quickly. I really don't know how those companies convienced the investors for trackers.
It would never have occurred to me that a Greek would assume that Alexander the Great was just a local hero!
In the US, anyone who remembers any ancient history will remember Alexander the Great. He's a part of every single world history curriculum, and for good reason. Whether by his own skill or luck, he reshaped most of Eurasia in his lifetime.
I mean, it was in the curriculum in Fiji where I studied. Stupid of course, because we had to learn the histories of far away places (literally on the other side of the world) more than our own history.
Whatever late corner of earth that didn't yet know who Alexander the great was, that history was forever changed, once personal computers & the golden age of PC computing came to be.
The entire western world draws its cultural lineage through the ancient greek civilizations, most of us sub-consciously consider ancient greek history "our" history. Even relatively un-educated New Zealanders on the exact opposite side of the world know who Alexander the Great is.
Alexander the Great was taught in my US high-school world history class. I was very fuzzy on the details of his life (time period, exactly where he was from and what he did), but he was Kinda a Big Deal for the world, not just ancient Greece.
Isn’t Alexander the Great the most famous (at least in the western world) conqueror of all time? At the very least he’s up there with Ghengis and Atila.
I have a solid example here that bogles my mind every now and them watching people killing other people especially in the US:
I would expect after all those years mental health to be accounted in a serious criminal case like killing somebody. Meaning that a person who kills somebody else definitely has mental issues that come from their childhood. So what about parents in those cases, aren't they having their part on the sick mentality of their child? Why not pressing charges to them?
> Meaning that a person who kills somebody else definitely has mental issues that come from their childhood. So what about parents in those cases, aren't they having their part on the sick mentality of their child? Why not pressing charges to them?
Even assuming the premise of killing someone implies mental illness, and assuming the mental illness stems from trauma, there's a pretty large leap in reasoning here. Why must the trauma come during childhood? Why not in adulthood? Even in childhood, why does it have to come from the parents?
Then you have the idea of continuing up the causal chain. Why are we pressing charges to the parents? If the parent's traumatized their kids, there's good chance they did it due to their own mental illness/trauma, which means the parents themselves were abused in childhood. So we should go after their parents.... except that just means we should go after there parents.... ad infinitum.
> a person who kills somebody else definitely has mental issues that come from their childhood
People that kill other people often function well in their society. It doesn't make sense to me to classify that as mental issues. People are inherently territorial, aggressive animals - at least to the extent being so doesn't make them much of an outlier.
daemonization is the process of running a process in the background and without being attached to a terminal. Many applications exit when they are detached from the terminal they starter even when they yield no output. Maybe that is why it's still there.
Of course back in the day fork() was all about creating background processes that were running quietly in the background were screen didn't exist yet and terminals were actual machines, not just one more window.
Today System D doesn't like daemonization. IT prefers a process that can be attached somewhere.
