Attention Hackers! We are very excited to announce that a brand new CTF is in town! #HackTMCTF
Together with @HackTMro we are preparing a qualification round on February 1-2, and for the top 10 teams, we will have a final round full of surprises.
Stay tuned for updates!
Two weeks ago, I said EU-Inc might need your help.
That moment is now. 🥁
We need you to submit feedback to the European Commission on what startups need.
To get you up to speed what happened since last time:
The EU Parliament published their own suggestion how a pan-european legal entity standard should look like.
How you ask? By introducing 27 different entities, instead of one. By improving as little as possible, keeping as much legacy and differences as possible, and hot-patching on top of them in different ways.
Why did they publish that? No idea. It's unusual at this moment. Likely Brussels-internal power-plays.
But the timing is perfect, because the European Commission (the guys actually in charge of this) asked for feedback publicly now.
How should a pan-European legal-entity look like?
Our answer is simple:
1) ONE EUROPEAN STANDARD
So that investors know how it works and you can easily raise globally, so that ecosystems can form around a centralized registry, so that stock-options can be done europe-wide, etc etc
2) FOR EVERYONE
Because nobody knows, how startups look like in future and we don't want to have governments niche down access to the entity in oblivion. A downside-compromise of this is btw that we do push not standardization of employment and taxes.
I explain the details in the blog post
Here your task:
1) Go here to the feedback website
2) Login (they support Google Auth btw which is funny imho)
3) Write a few lines what you expect a true standard for startups should support
4) Share this with friends, coworkers, etc and ask them to also fill it out.
The form needs like 1-2 minutes. If we hit a few hundred feedback submissions we already have the most feedbacked consultation in this field ever. If we hit 1000 we break the bank and they can't avoid talking to the startup ecosystem about this. 🏴☠️
Feel free to name drop us. Us asking for your support isn't even cheating the system. That's how this process is meant to be done. Politics is weird. 🙈

EU-Inc is close to the finishing line (of the first stage) 🇪🇺
All the politicians in Brussel want "something like it". It's the #1 item on the commission's strategy. Now the hard part is to make sure the politicians have the ambition to get the details right.
You can have the same goals, but if you stack-rank priorities differently, don't understand details, or simply lack political ambition you easily end up with something useless.
We will need your help – now and over the next weeks.
First up, I wrote up a quick primer that gets you up to speed with everything that happened so far and WHICH details are important to get right.
It also gives a bit of insight into the repeating discussions we constantly have with Brussels and member states.
If we as European startup scene get this right, and implement EU-Inc cleanly – as something that startups can actually use – we will create the biggest leapfrog improvement for startups and tech-innovation in Europe in our lifetime.

Let's get this done.

Nu știu cum oameni care păreau decenți ajung să devină astfel de mega scârbe, precum Rafila.
Cam ăsta e traseul multora care dau de putere, e suficient să-i uzi cu funcții și gata, încolțește jegu-n ei.

Strategia de comunicare a autorităților pe subiectul dronelor căzute-n România e greșită și păguboasă pe termen mediu și lung. Potrivit specialiștilor în comunicare, reprezentanții statului încearcă să le dea oamenilor un fals sentiment de siguranță, în loc să le vorbească despre pericolul pe care-l reprezintă conflictul de proporții de la graniță.
While startup Ezra and biohackers are trying to make MRIs mainstream, medical experts are concerned the scans could do more harm than good — setting up people who have no specific risk of illness for overtreatment and overdiagnosis. https://t.co/PywqAaitoS https://t.co/UY9IfTms1i

With the help of Romanians that donated through my Facebook profile (you can find it in my bio) i was able to buy and deliver 5 Ambulances that arrived in Ukraine exactly on Orthodox Easter. Totaling more than 85.000 euro the cost, this is a large contribution of romanians 1/n
I'll be joining @TheSchoolOfLife in Amsterdam next week where I'll give a presentation (with slides!) about How Minds Change followed by a conversation about the book with Wicher Schols and Naomi Kok Luís. Tickets to the replayable live stream here: https://t.co/OevLJqarUf
Romanian Constitutional Court rejected yesterday all complaints raised for the #cybersecurity law, so probably the draft will be soon approved by the President and will become a law. A thread on implementation risks for #digitalrights and not only.
