- 5-year work/residence permits for the team
-- No personal income tax in the Caymans for anyone moving here
From a friend who has gone through the process of setting one up for consulting, the initial setup cost ~30k USD and renewal costs ~15k USD per year.
- you still need an office package https://www.caymanenterprisecity.com/service-packages
- setup is not really that quick and painless
If you'd otherwise pay income tax pretty much anywhere else it might still make financial sense.
Watch the course.fast.ai lectures quickly, just to see a lot of practical ML/AI applications. You'll see how effective you can be just by knowing the tools with very little math background.
Next I'd look at the NEW Andrew Ng introduction on Coursera. It is much more approachable than his first course. You might still feel a little overwhelmed by a few equations, but then you'll implement them yourself in numpy. (And the ipython/jupyter notebooks are really well written, walking you through every step.)
The "Human Unique Identifier" is supposed to solve Sybil Attacks. But I don't see how if the enrollment of new users is decentralized bad actors can't simply generate new retinas / HUIDs and enroll them in the system, then use those identities to sway online elections, commit fraud, mine disproportionately more coins, etc.
I'm always looking for fun sci-fi, but the book by Dan Jeffries doesn't contain much of this tech, which was disappointing. It was an OK read otherwise. I think "Infomocracy" was better and contained more novel concepts.
I dunk my glasses into my cleaner every morning while I'm showering.
This scheme seems to force route parameters into query parameters. Disadvantage: It's not RESTful. Advantage: Your route parameters are now named query parameters. You only handle one dict of parameters...
I'm not sure how I feel about this.
"Filesystem as the API" in this case looks more like "convention over configuration" (which has worked fine for other frameworks like Rails), it doesn't actually seem to be using the filesystem as the only storage backend.
us-east-1 is the oldest region and predates Route 53. Not adding extra DNS providers to the older regions is probably an oversight.
(The EC2 API team requests load balancers from a separate load balancer team. The load balancer team probably didn't exist as a separate team when some of these regions were created.)
I saw that donuts has a test EPP endpoint to try nomulus. I will probably connect to it soon for some integration testing.
My only issues when using this extension:
* It's super flexible. I have to guess if a fee is an EAP fee based on the description, for example. (Registries haven't standardised on anything.)
* Querying for all operations * terms is very verbose.
* The extension itself has multiple versions. We support fee-0.5 - fee-0.8.
This move by Google just massively simplified the barriers to entry for small countries running their own ccTLDs in a more modern way.
(I work for a registrar, dealing with ccTLD idiosyncracies all day. If more registries adopt common premium price extensions, etc, it will make my life a lot easier, too.)
