As long as I don't get taxed on the same money in both countries, I don't see the issue here.

That's exactly one of the current issues. The general rule is something like 'taxation happens where the company creates value'. Registration in Estonia just means taxation starts in Estonia. But at any point can Spain say 'we consider this a Spanish company'. After Spain taxes too, you can request a tax refund in Estonia. That's assuming they agree. Both countries will only communicate with the company, not with each other.

So while double taxation treaties are great, they are not doing much upfront in this respect.

The above is about company taxation, not personal taxes. For SMB that line is often confusing.

Not even one per day as far as I can tell.

The Amtrack website also mentions:

Known as Maryland's “Queen City,” Cumberland was an early gateway to the West. Today, it is a bustling arts center and popular stopover for cyclists using the trail network between Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C.

If you store any kind of data about a visitor to make their life more convenient, is that tracking? Shopping carts? Notification preferences? etc.

If it is crucial to provide the service or the service is explicitely requested by the user (i'd argue a shopping cart is), I think you don't need consent (see Article 5 of Directive 2002/58/EC).

But then the governments will legislate against citizens usage of the technology.

No, given some exceptions (think dictators trying), that's not going to happen, right? At that point it's not a technological issue. You're talking about the right to be cryptical in everyday speech.

Edit: or, in a different approach, they'd have to forbid (private) use of (some) algorithms. Again, that sounds like you'll have bigger issues then, no?

You can also attempt to do this within IKEA. You can sometimes buy bed/sofa/... legs separately and use ones from other series and furniture.

Sometimes they are quite different, or at least fit your style better than the default ones.

Logitech's dongles (and possibly others) mimic a USB connection while still being wireless. They also allow you to access your BIOS.

Things being what they are, I don't think Bluetooth is the right setup for input devices.

Isn't that like saying only big companies with specialized roles are allowed to provide app-like functionality?

Among others, smaller shops and single-person companies surely benefit from one delivery platform if you ask me. Even if it's not perfect.

I'll bite. You seem to be wrong. I use a 13" Huawei laptop from 2019 (I can't compare newer hardware):

- screen resolution is 4k (please correct me if that's not retina)

- price was $900-$1000 (apple products were double that price)

- everything just works in Linux except the fingerprint reader (I'll have to give you that)

Funny how the article is exactly about this happening: the inability to tell what is true when reading.

The article might be AI generated, your comment might be, both, or none of them. How will we know who is right? And if we can't, will we stop caring?

When I navigate back to HN after reading the article, I get a page 'more stories before you go'. At least the first time I opened the link.

How is 538 able to intercept my navigation away from their page?
