What? So you should just be allowed to do as you please? Start with an eco-retreat on your winery. Then build out luxury apartments? Then where to go from here? Maybe get rid of the winery for a golf course? Creep your way into a luxury resort?

Where is the line?

> The €25k working capital requirement seems a little prescriptive to me

It also hasn't been raised since 1981 when it was set at 50.000 DM. Which would provide a real trust to customers and suppliers working with a GmbH. This would mean 65.000€ accounting for inflation.

And trust is key in having a smooth running economy.

> OP missed six months of opportunity

OP missed six months of opportunities because he is an idiot, that has been scammed by a tax consultancy that is interested in his money.

He should have setup a UG, start the business and invest into building a GmbH.

You should Google "Place of effective management"

A lot of the entrepreneurs I meet become tax & social insurance fraudsters as soon as I mention this, because they think they can setup a company somewhere but live in Spain, without paying or registering companies here.

> Someone wanted to turn a winery into a eco-tourism boutique hotel with a winery tour and experience.

Because a agricultural business and a hotel business are two different things, and Spain has, rightfully so, their thumb on the spread of tourism, because it affects local communities negatively.

Otherwise investors could just come in, buy a random agriculture business and then turn it into luxury hotels/lodging.

> I’ve been involved with startups and small businesses for more than a decade, and I haven’t still heard of any of them doing things 100% by the book, because it’s just impossible.

Because entrepreneurs are notoriously bad thinking further than their own interests. It always, "just" something they want to do.

Zoning rules and regulations have their purpose. Are some of those in some places idiotic? Yes. Do most of them still have their reason? Also yes.

Otherwise we can stop protesting datacenters and the trump family building a eco-luxury resort in a nature reserve.

Yeah, he has no clue and complains about having no clue.

He wants a company but not put down any assets, but still limited liability, he has to get a UG. But obviously customers don't want to deal with that because there are no assets in case they pay 5.000€ and the company goes belly up.

Customers deal with GmbH, because they know they have at least a little bit of value in assets. So if I buy from you for 5.000€ I know that should be covered by your assets.

The guy is an idiot and has been misconsulted by the law firm and has been pulled over the table by said law firm.

I just did a quick check:

The 25.000€ hasn't been raised since the early 1980s. (50.000 DM back then) So to have the same liability today, you would have to put down 65.000€.

So it has gotten increasingly cheaper to start a GmbH in Germany.

Hahahahha... I was trying to build something like this for a while. Seems like I wasn't the only one with this idea. So happy someone finally did it!

You know who has great information density? Pornhub. If you open Pornhub on a 4K screen, you will absolutely see none of the thumbnails. I think YouTube is overdoing it, but it is really a thing of: people are either using really small screens or 1080p. 4K is still not around much.

This is my general opinion with regards to bureaucracy in Germany. All the data is most likely already there and all the technical challenges have been solved in the meantime. Why do I have to do the runaround from office to office, when they are physically connected by a piece if wire (aka the internet).

There is a reason why we have so much bureaucracy in Germany (1. because we like it) and second because it is supposed to provide trust, trust that every company I deal with is legit, trust that the system knows who is participating. Without trust nobody would make business or business would be very hard, because you would have to price in the risk of not having trust.

Weather is not climate...

I found the netboot docs very hard to understand if you dont have a existing knowledge of PXE.

I think a better way would be to keep the foundation and spin off a company that manufactures all of that. Sell 49% of that company in an IPO and keep the majority stake in the foundation. This way they can raise money for expansion while keeping the mission in line.

This also signals very clear to investors what this enterprise is about.

In Europe and the EU it is thanks to the GDPR. At least if its PII, if you wanna collect weather data, feel free to do so.

Lol. Like you are going to pay 1500$ per month for marginal infrastructure cost? Suburbans are pretty expensive as well as rural communities, I don't need a consultancy to see that.

Look at some of the poorer places in America and you can see what you can get with no property tax or other contributions.

Suburbia is unnecessarily subsidised.

It is mostl due to the oil and other hazardous materials potentially going into the ground or the city sewer.

They can't or won't clean that and it is contaminating in even small amounts. E.g. one drop of oil contaminates 500l of water.

At least for Germany.

DRF does what it says on the tin. It is REST by the definition of it. Not a HTTP JSON API but strict REST. A object with CRUD as an API. Everything else is outside of scope and mostly reall hard to do.

That's why I rarely use DRF and either use function based views directly or use another library.

Which is obviously inspired by https://ccbv.co.uk/ which helps with the normal django class based views.

It really helped me find my way around the inheritance tree as well.

The EU overall is in a less than reproduction rate. With less than two kinds per woman on average. With the boomer generation going into pension now there are a lot of jobs left unassigned. At the same time people are getting better educated and strive for higher jobs.

The notion that immigrants take away jobs is bullshit that has been fed to you by exactly those right wing shills. It's not the 2000nds anymore. We need so many workers l, especially in those low wage/low skill jobs.

At the same time employing an immigrant is much harder cultural wise that every employer probably picks a local over a immigrant when having the choice.

But feel free to talk to any recruiter.

The german car industry killed itself by being complacent and ignoring the writing on the wall.

Now innovative companies like Tesla and BYD come and just eat their lunch.

In the last two generations we went from having 3 or more kids to having 1 kid. You just weren't able to supervise 5 kids with that level of caution like you are today.

Also biologically your whole legacys survival lies on one kid.

I honestly don't know why anyone sees watercooler time or coffee kitchen time as wasted time. At least not from the first minute.

This is where basically the micromeetings happen, where social rituals and where team culture is made and lived.

There is a point of diminishing returns, but watercooler time is valuable time and what I miss most about the office.

Because this makes certain assumptions and certain decisions about the Kubernetes Environment you want to be running.

See here: https://docs.k3s.io/

It's fully compliant but opinionated towards the smaller side.

So you mean, DevOps has made Sysadmins more service oriented and now instead of having their pets and being in overprotective silos, they actually provide best practices and proper platforms for the poeple developing the software?

Nobody is hindering you on reselling your device. Use your legitimate access to wipe the device and unpair it from Our iCloud account and then you can resell it.

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201351

My old company had a big problems with leavers dropping off the iPhone without giving either their passcode or unpairing the device from whatever iCloud account they used, so they couldn't even give it to anybody else. Full shelf full of 1000€ bricks all working fine. (Apple didn't have a proper device management service back then)

I don't know why iFixit doesn't even touch on that point.

I live in Barcelona and phones are being pickpocketed every day here. Not being able to wipe or unlock or else is a mayor deterrent for the pickpockets, because noone will take the phone off of them, so it's not worth it. Phones are still being stolen but imagine if they could sell to a global market of repair shops.

You couldn't go to any tourist location without having your phone stolen if it wasn't bolted to your person.

I get the iFixit point as well but if I have a 1500€ phone, I don't want to think about it being stolen, when I am on vacation, because someone needs some parts (oh the human trafficing/organ harvesting similarity...)

Apple should offer a better repair program and offer the ability to "unlock and relock" it in a apple store with proper proof of ownership. Or anything else in that direction.

You wouldn't believe it, but fantastical.

This needs to be higher up. Big points that SAP has going:

* Compliance * Standard Processes * Interoperability between companies (a lot of purchasing runs automatically through some sort of SAP Software)

What mostly fails in my experience is the customization. Everybody thinks their process is super special and important and needs 100 escape hatches. But if you ask them to draw their process on a whiteboard, they couldn't do it for one single process without drawing 100 question marks.

That is where SAP shines: The whole thing is so bureaucratic, coming from Germany, which is something you will need after your company has grown beyond a certain size.

Because from a economical business point:

* You're getting old and your not spending as much money. * Getting 5$ from 100.000.000 people is better than getting 50$ 1.000.000 people. Especially if you can do it at lower costs. * Getting in new audiences to keep the franchise alive and healthy * And last but not least the average consumer is not interested in it being "true" to some kind of book or whatever. It has to make sense, but not in a true to the original author kind of way.

Because it is not "one market".

There is free movement of good, services, money and people. But it is still 28 similar markets with different cultures, different languages, different bureaucracies and sometimes different currency.

It is 400 million people but comparing the EU to the US is wrong on so many levels.

Also calling the US an "open" market is like saying China is a "free" democracy.

"One would think that if there is truly a US wide market for such an affordable healthcare service a competitor should be able to challenge the current market dominance. The US could even subsidize it."

Also it doesn't matter if the EU could do it themselves. Our market, our rules. If you don't like the rules, don't play.
