Gys··on Ask HN: What surprised you about Estonia e-Residency and running an Estonian OÜ?
Please beware:

From: https://learn.e-resident.gov.ee/hc/en-gb/articles/3600007215...

> Corporate tax residency

> However, some countries have different rules for deciding if a company is tax resident. It is common that, in addition to the place of incorporation, the place of effective management can trigger tax residence. If you run your company from a country with regulations like this, then the company may end up having dual tax residence. This happens when two states believe that the company is tax resident in their jurisdiction and will want to tax the company’s profits.

This 'It is common that [...] the place of effective management can trigger tax residence' is indeed common.

Gys··on Ask HN: Founders of estonian e-businesses – is it worth it?
It is mentioned a bit in other comments: be aware that in the country where you live, the tax authorities can argue that your 100% owned company in country X is managed by you. This means it is taxable in your country. It is then up to you to counter their point of view…

I think the weight is by design. I once read a story consumers associate more heavy headphones with quality and therefore will pay a higher price. For example see https://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/beats-by-dre-head...

Gys··on Can large language models generalize analogy solving like children can? [pdf]
From the abstract:

Children and adults easily generalized their knowledge to unfamiliar domains, whereas LLMs did not. This key difference between human and AI performance is evidence that these LLMs still struggle with robust human-like analogical transfer.

Gys··on Show HN: A 2-row, 16-key keyboard designed for smartphones
i tried it and think it needs at least three improvements for me to use it:

normally a sentence starts automatically with a capital but not with this keyboard

double space should result in a dot and a space, to end a sentence. Now I need to switch layout for a dot

automatic suggestions are not enabled (or implemented)

Taxing them will be difficult. There will always be places welcoming them with low taxes if they just spend money.

Most of their wealth is probably in companies operating globally. It seems more easy to tax profits in local markets. And increase competition…

Gys··on Ask HN: Do you believe aliens are visiting Earth?
> Testimonies/memories/personal experience can certainly secure a conviction in a human court of law.

I am certain that if I go to the police blaming someone of something bad then even if my story is very very detailed, without any other (!) evidence the other person will not be convicted.

> Where we draw the line?

By requiring more evidence :) Just as an example: it is funny that despite camera’s being ubiquitous nowadays, all video evidence of aliens, big foot, ghosts, etc is very limited and always vague.

Gys··on Ask HN: Do you believe aliens are visiting Earth?
> Facts: there's abundance of testimony that would secure conviction in court regarding abductions, encounters (of variosu "kinds"), and "multi-sensor data".

'testimony' as in 'statements from people' should not nearly be enough to convince a court. Pretty sure there are also many testimonies that confirm the existence of trolls, elf's, the devil, reincarnation, angels, big foot, Loch Ness monster, etc.
