buying a property to just hold in in hope somebody buys it in couple years for 20x current value just would not work, there are taxes and other costs and it just does not make sense.

> heavier feeling is actually prefer by most people.

what ? nobody prefers it. there are people that tolerate it and those that don't know better. weight kills driving dynamics, everybody that claims otherwise does not care or did not drive a lightweight car.

disiplus··on CD Projekt Conference Call with the Management Board [pdf] (Dec 14)
most of the countries now have something like that but for sole proprietship. if you have an llc, you can do basically whatever you want because it is taxed different, and somebody has to be employed there, so the country gets the taxes. its just that you can pay yourself some salary and the rest you can pay out at the end of the year as profit that is taxes different.
disiplus··on Pornhub just purged all unverified content from the platform
i don't think reddit is hosting underage porn, and im sure there is some subreddit somewhere that has questionable content (the same as there is copyrighted material somewhere deep on youtube) but i don't think that it is so widespread.
disiplus··on Sales tax creates more unnecessary pain than value added tax
There are no procedural requirements that i know of, it's how the VAT system works. The only difference is are you in VAT system or not (there are rules when you have to go in). If you are not in the system you cannot offset the VAT but you are not required to collect it also, so whatever you charge you keep . Please give me the example where you are required to collect but cannot offset. There are per countries some special cases, for some type of items, where the full amount will not be recognized but those are exceptions.
disiplus··on Sales tax creates more unnecessary pain than value added tax
(Note that businesses can offset their VAT liability with the VAT they paid for services/goods received.)

this is misleading, it's like saying you can get a salary as a worker. you get the salary. there is no "you can"

the same is true for VAT, the amount you owe is the difference between the tax you paid for the service/goods you bought and the tax you collected when you sold.

at the end of the month or what ever other period you are required to pay taxes the sum is simplified this difference.

with a VAT rate of 25% if you paid something 125, (100 base + 25 vat) and sold it after for 150 (120 base + 30 VAT) you owe the (30-25) = 5.

In the accounting software the tax rate for every line item is entered when creating the entry. So at the end of the month its easy to make a report.

disiplus··on The Airbnbs
That is a bullshit argument, even when writing code, there are bug's in it. And if you exploit a bug to gain access to something that you don't have access it does not magically make it your's. the same if you found a way to open the door of the house you cannot say it's my house the door had a loophole. Most of those loopholes are exploitable only with a setup that those multi billion international companyes have access to. It's one thing to to take care of you own set of taxes you have to operate in a international context.

disiplus··on Permanently remote workers seen doubling in 2021 due to pandemic productivity
it's both, but location plays a bit role, just go to the gitlab salary calculator and try to enter london and another east europe city.

even for the same level role and expertise and assumed same productivity the east europe one will get a smaller compensation, thus costing the company less.

disiplus··on Don't Use VPN Services (2016)
from that link there is only one "verified" case, and that is with PIA, all others are audits from private firms, or seizure of one particular server that is assuming just a dumb node. even with PIA it's not sure what exactly was asked because its not a USA company, so if i ask you to give me logs for a server in USA, but you don't keep the logs on that server, can you say we dont keep logs on that server.

and do you have time to verify every source of information.
