@marclou Spain could be lucrative given the https://t.co/HamAfiPRd8 - 24% flat rate & tax free on some types of income generated outside ES.

@Austen What about currency devaluation? if currency devalues about 7x, technically it will satisfy this term without creation of any new value.

@xai new @grok premuim limits make it unusable for any meaningful conversation. it hits a limit just after a dozen of questions.

I finally converted my notebook for calculating a statistical significance test (permutation test) into a blog post - no fluff, just plain simulation.

@github involved a top notch OSS contributor to build integration with their product for one of major editors from ground up.

@elonmusk How could you know that?! I guess everyone look at you when you walk into *any* room.

@karpathy Andrej, my long lost brother, let us work together again!

i always thought that if a person belives there is a problem worth solving, he works on it/funds himself first. i guess this guy has all resources he might need if he really believes this being a problem.

The facts are simple and devastating: Aid cuts have already cost lives, and the number of deaths will continue to rise. Here’s the evidence.

@marclou or you can think/plan during this time. i.e. famous Steve Jobs walks.

@Smocks4m @levelsio There is a Beckham law tax regime (aka flat 24% tax on any income from Spain/no tax on financial gains outside Spain) that makes live in there at least bearable. Requirements: need to apply when relocating, works only for 6 years. https://t.co/HamAfiPjnA

another reason why locals are not interested in these jobs might be that there is a great supply of cheap labor on these jobs and it's driving wages down.

most likely industries will adapt rather than collapse. right now they plainly take advantage of cheap (and often illegal) workforce. right now their incentive is to exploit the cheap workforce as much as possible.

it's not clear why they were admitted to US in the first place. more likely they allied with US to serve their interests not just of goodness of their heart. They should live with the consequences of their actions and don't expect partner bail them for the rest of their lives because they were allies in this venture.

yeap, EM L4/L5 make a perfect sense to put a large station as they are stable, no need to spend fuel increase the orbit, may be only occasionally and there are no 16 heatup/cooldown cycles per day putting strain on station body.
a drawback is that it's outside Earth magnetosphere.

[apetrov @apetrov]

@beffjezos @elonmusk @peterrhague @Space_Station @SpaceX but what for? L1, L2, L3 are not stable outside 3 body model, L4, L5 are quite far away (1au), more over L3 is the on opposite side of the earth orbit (2au)
L1 and L2 are much closer but still 5x distance to the moon and you need fuel to maintain position

Meant that US airforce F is not a very reliable "airline" in terms of accidents, would not recommend
