Very misleading article. There is only one provider init7 and coverage is definitely not good in rural areas. Here is an map : https://ftth.init7.net/
ExpertAdvisor01··on Solar and batteries can power the world
Also what is probably used in your country is Pumped-storage hydroelectricity . During the day you pump water into the reservoir using wind/solar energy and discharge e.g at night .
ExpertAdvisor01··on Jury finds Meta liable in case over child sexual exploitation on its platforms
That's objectively not true. You can just use your own DNS server and lock the settings app either through android mdm policies or an locker app.
ExpertAdvisor01··on Militaries are scrambling to create their own Starlink
The f-22 balloon kill was at the same height as the altitude quoted on their website .

Like you said either any fighter jet + missile or an high altitude jet + auto cannon will shoot it down reliably.

This is probably a good solution for redundancy if you already have air superiority.

ExpertAdvisor01··on Militaries are scrambling to create their own Starlink
Not true. The reason why they launched with India is because Russia got sanctioned.
ExpertAdvisor01··on Militaries are scrambling to create their own Starlink
Because they will be destroyed immediately
ExpertAdvisor01··on Meta Platforms: Lobbying, dark money, and the App Store Accountability Act
I don't understand it . There are so many ways to child-proof a device . Google Family Link and the Apple equivalent . Use cloudflares Family dns (blocks porn websites etc ..)

Instead of just creating a course that explains how to child-proof a device, we have to surveil everyone.

ExpertAdvisor01··on Yann LeCun raises $1B to build AI that understands the physical world
Retirement is the worst. You are basically forced to pay into a unsustainable system ( at least in Germany ). It already has to be subsidized by taxes .
ExpertAdvisor01··on Yann LeCun's AI startup raises $1B in Europe's largest ever seed round
It is an universal system but definitely not free . In Germany you pay on average 17.5% of your salary for healthcare insurance and 18.6% for retirement . However contribution caps exists . 70k for healthcare and 100k for retirement .

I don’t think there are even any options in this price range from any reputable brand (Creality, Revopoint, etc.).
ExpertAdvisor01··on Pocketbase lost its funding from FLOSS fund
Agree
ExpertAdvisor01··on Pocketbase lost its funding from FLOSS fund
It's not really kyc . It's just standard procedure to claim Double tax treaty benefits.

You can look at the us W8-BEN

ExpertAdvisor01··on Pocketbase lost its funding from FLOSS fund
No it's just that the Indian company is required to withhold taxes . But they want to use the double taxation treaty to claim benefits to reduce it
ExpertAdvisor01··on Pocketbase lost its funding from FLOSS fund
These are perfectly normal requests .

These are needed to reduce withholding taxes and claim treaty benefits .

ExpertAdvisor01··on Pocketbase lost its funding from FLOSS fund
These are very reasonable requirements .

These are just the requirements to claim treaty benefits . A little bit of research wouldn't hurt.

You have to fill out the Form-10f to claim treaty benefits for the reduction of withholding tax on services and royalties .

These are the requirements:

Tax Residency Certificate (TRC) (= extract from cantonal commercial register) • Non-Permanent Establishment Declaration (No PE Declaration) • Form 10F: If you are registered accordingly, Form 10F can be submitted online.

This is very unprofessional in my opinion how pocket base handled that issue as this is a perfectly reasonable request .

It's a similar to the W8-BEN non us resident aliens have to file .
