2xARR is extremely low, I'd like to know why they sold. After being valued at 17B selling for close to ~2B is interesting.
leugim··on Europe's Ultra-Rich Could Fund a Substantial Part of the EU's Budget
It's progressive so the first 10k are not taxed as the last 10k. I do not deny, the problem is that 60k is the highest bracket* so >60k you are considered rich.

In Spain if you earn more than 60k you are considered rich.

* There's one of 300k at 47% but even that one does not change so much as the <60k to >60k.

leugim··on Europe's Ultra-Rich Could Fund a Substantial Part of the EU's Budget
No 60k EUR is gross, which nets around 3k EUR month + 2 extras (Summer and Christmas). Or 3.4k EUR month without extras.
leugim··on Europe's Ultra-Rich Could Fund a Substantial Part of the EU's Budget
This is a shortcut for taxing unrealized gains.

They start with NW >100 million and start decreasing the concept of Ultra-Rich until everyone non-broke eventually pays it.

In Spain it happened with the Work Tax which from >60k EUR (68k USD) goes to 45% as if earning 3k EUR (3.4k USD) per month made you rich.

leugim··on Perfection Is Not Over-Engineering
I disagree, requirements are only a part of the engineering process. Perfection will be redefined after the product, tech, team knowledge changes, which will constantly.

Spend too much time thinking into perfection, trying to achieve it and you will get a convoluted system with lava-layer patterns full of complexity astronauts.

leugim··on Show HN: I created a free tool to showcase Amazon Wishlists
Hi, I built this free tool to showcase Amazon Wishlist. I use the wishlists to manage my books. I dit the tool to showcase Amazon Wishlists in a cooler way than Amazon does. It's called zonlist.

It’s completely free, embeddable, and designed with privacy in mind—we don’t share any specific details from the list.

I thought that it may be useful for some of you. Luckily I can get some feedback.
