tsaprailis··on Ask HN: Best EU country to incorporate a startup?
Well, to be honest I'm mostly interested in being able to manage the company online as much as possible.
tsaprailis··on Ask HN: Best way to start and master Hadoop?
This is exactly what I was thinking as well. It seems that we are slowly moving from the Hadoop ecosystem to the Spark ecosystem.
tsaprailis··on Ask HN: How have you achieved financial independence?
Thanks, do these provide a passive income or just capital gains?
tsaprailis··on Ask HN: How have you achieved financial independence?
Thanks for the feedback. Could you clarify if you only use the capital gains? I have read that dividend stocks are also a good way to have a passive income. Additionally have you thought about what you would do in case of a market downturn?
tsaprailis··on Ask HN: How have you achieved financial independence?
Thanks for the links, I will take a look. Your story seems like what I have in mind trying to replicate.
tsaprailis··on Ask HN: How have you achieved financial independence?
Thanks for your reply. I was thinking about the same, while I make more than I spend, and for the time being I can save money, this indeed requires working. The "problem" would start when you have depended family members and you cannot calculate, or rather plan for all expenses in advance, what have you done to plan for this?

tsaprailis··on A majority of millennials now reject capitalism
In my opinion Capitalism is not the perfect system, it's better than the alternatives. That, however, doesn't mean we should not criticize and try to amend any wrongdoings that Capitalism has evolved to have.
tsaprailis··on A majority of millennials now reject capitalism
I think this sums it all: ""The word 'capitalism' doesn't mean what it used to," said Zach Lustbader, a senior at Harvard involved in conducting the poll, which was published Monday. For those who grew up during the Cold War, capitalism meant freedom from the Soviet Union and other totalitarian regimes. For those who grew up more recently, capitalism has meant a financial crisis from which the global economy still hasn't completely recovered."

tsaprailis··on What Is Cloud Vision API?
Google make it easy for you to use image analysis, and easier for them to gather more data. The value of deep learning is in the data not the actual algorithms/libraries. Still, a cool API.
