The UK accuses firms of routing profits through low-tax EU member states?
Did they mention Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man + Anguilla, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Gibraltar, Turks and Caicos Islands?
Well, I suppose they aren't EU member states, carry on.

"It came up on our left hand side (rapidly veered) to the north, we saw a bright light and it just disappeared at a very high speed ... we were just wondering. We didn't think it was a likely collision course .. (just wondering) what it could be," she said.
A pilot on Virgin Flight 76 added that his flight crew had seen "two bright lights at 11 o'clock (which) seemed to bank over to the right and then climb away at speed."
Several civilian aircraft reported UFOs over Ireland a few months ago - here’s an ATC recording: https://youtu.be/pv7x4dRye3U?t=300
Do you have numbers for revenue growth?

I noticed that imgflip is using Cloudflare. Just curious - if you're willing to share this information - what are your traffic levels and hosting costs like? Does hosting a large percentage of static asset require a Cloudflare enterprise contract? Cheers
Unfortunately, Sri Lanka has a long history of violence even before the age of social media: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sri_Lankan_Civil_War
As much as I hate seeing setbacks and delays to commercial crew, it's best to have these failures early on in the program before they risk the life of astronauts and personnel.
So the 7th Duke of Westminster is estimated to be worth £9 billion (US$13 billion), making him the world's richest person under age 30.

Upon his father's death, in August 2016, as well as the peerages, he inherited a wealth currently estimated at £9 billion, with considerable trust funds for his sisters. This wealth is held in a trust, of which the Duke is a beneficial owner but not the legal owner — an arrangement which received considerable press attention due to the inheritance tax exemption this confers.
The standard Inheritance Tax rate is 40% in the UK when above a certain threshold - https://www.gov.uk/inheritance-tax
Seems fair!
“Wait a second,” he said. “How do you know we’re the only time there’s been a civilization on our own planet?”
Imagine for a moment that we're Martians who managed to terraform Earth because of some runaway climate catastrophe on Mars. That now, we're in the early stages of repeating the same mistakes because of some extinction event in the past that wiped out all of our prior history and knowledge.
How do foreign founders deal with the visa situation when doing business in the US?
I don't understand why there's so much racism in that tiny nation. Almost every time I cross the border into Austria, the police flags me down and asks for my passport. I'm Austrian citizen, born and raised but a person of colour. Even though I speak German fluently, authorities always speak in English to me. It gave me so much anxiety that I moved to the UK and noticed that I'm treated with much more respect and opportunities.
Austria is a beautiful country and most people are nice but man..some people can be very small-minded there. The news would make you believe that the UK is this backwards right-wing nation because of Brexit but you'll never see a muslim of Pakistani descent as mayor in Vienna or people of colour in the Austrian parliament and that's honestly very depressing.
Interesting that Brexit uncertainty is in their risk factors:
These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, have had and may continue to have a significant adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and could significantly reduce global market liquidity and limit the ability of key market participants to operate in certain financial markets. In particular, it could also lead to a period of considerable uncertainty in relation to the UK financial and banking markets, as well as on the regulatory process in Europe. Asset valuations, currency exchange rates, and credit ratings may also be subject to increased market volatility.
I'm using Firebase Hosting (by Google) and the IP address resolves to Fastly, at least in the EU.
Are you sure? I’m currently learning how to develop apps for Android and during my testing I was surprised that you’re able to send silent data-only notifications to devices, even when the app is closed / removed from the drawer. You’re able to run background functions like update a local SQLite database but I haven’t tried making requests to a backend server yet (my guess is it works too) or accessing any sensors.
Yeah, all those military ships having accidents with civilian ships does seem a bit weird, eh?

Oh, did they stop asking for nudes yet?
My Gmail spam folder has emails from Google Cloud in it which I find amusing because it states the following:
Why is this message in spam? It is similar to messages that were identified as spam in the past.
Oh really Google? You've identified your own emails as spam? Well then!
Congrats! Your submission got almost no attention on HN. Just curious, how did you find your first customers?
my current bootstrapped project
Is that geocode.xyz?
It was meant as a joke tbh. It's sad that this is now a requirement for EU startups. Might as well incorporate in the US and launch US-first / ignore the EU market until you have the resources to deal with these laws.
Who wants to work with me on a new startup? "EU Upload-Filter as a Service"...
Issued by Goldman Sachs so I guess it's US only?
Meanwhile Google reCAPTCHA makes us label cars and road signs for free..
I hope that the Internet doesn't turn into various subnets like US-NET, EU-NET, CHINA-NET .. Article 13 is a worrying development.
No, but thousands of friends and family members of those who lost their lives have to deal with that problem.
I wonder what their management team was thinking.. "We're going to make so much money by not having to retrain pilots for this new plane!"
Reality: Hundreds of people die within months. Boeing is now worth $25 billion less in market cap and the planes are grounded worldwide.
