Swimmable Cities 2 years ago

Yes, we went to Tanto but considering how much water that Stockholm is surrounded with, I can’t say it’s very accessible. That is also the view of some friends living there.

I have some questions on this.

Living on west coast of Sweden, our family went to Stockholm this summer and as the temperature rose, we asked were to go and swim and basically no one knew and we didn’t see people doing it either.

So our small company has like foo-bar.com Foobar.com has been occupied for a long time, there’s nothing there and they do not respond to our emails either.

This has been the case for a few years now, I guess it works but ideally we would really like the one without the hyphen

Have cycled from Northern Europe to South Africa, crossed Europe several times and also crossed US, New York to California. Best way to experience a country.

Don’t have time? Try to do a quick one and turn it into an adventure. One of my most exciting trips was going from Southern to Northern Europe in just a week.

I recommend to pack lightly, and don’t spend to much time planning on gear and routes - just do it otherwise you’ll risk to postpone it again and again.. just do it.

A huge Corp really wanted our app but not the cloud based SPA app we offered - they wanted “executables” with no data stored in the cloud. Ended up creating a electron app, using our SPA and django packaged with pyinstaller that fires up as a child process. Thus a local backend with SQLIte. It’s now rolled out and works great.

We have been asked by Fortune500s for the ISO27001 along with the hundreds of security related questions. We got through without the certificate by convincing them in other ways how much we(the 2 of us) focus on security.

I sometimes use it for sales. Looking up a company on LinkedIn, then finding the name of a person I want to each our to but am not sure about the email. Then I could try the classic first name.last name @ domain to see if it’s worth sending an email

Stripe Tax 5 years ago

Also wondering about this. Having a one man band b2b only saas, in EU. Have few customers in US to whom I just send an invoice with no tax added. This is what I heard from long ago was how you do.

Have never registered any taxes abroad in any country. For EU customers I collect VAT no and do the quarterly report but for all other countries I’ve done nothing. I have basically been doing this wrong then?

I run a b2b saas that is used daily by some fortune500s. I have been going through rigorous vetting processes but have only once been asked about this. I lied and told them it is no problem. I usually pretend my company is larger than it is (me).

It gives me a headache now and then, and am now in the process to get someone else onboard.

My first experience with Linux was also after ordering their CD package... maybe around 5 discs? I almost remember first time ever logging in through the terminal after installation. Wow

I have the same requirement, but ended up building the final bundles to lambda in the cloud instead. However I am quite excited about the new container image support for lambda meaning I guess you do not have to compile for musl anymore.

Maybe off topic, but if the only cookie set is for Google Analytics, and I anonymize ip - do I still need consent from users? My understanding is that only data that can be tracked to a certain user needs consent per gdpr?
