Terrible pasta? I solely buy spelt (dinkel) pasta of I can choose.

Maybe you mean it gets more sticky if you cook it too long? But al dente I think it's amazing. It has a nutty taste that works very well with tomatoes if you ask me.

> As long as I don't get taxed on the same money in both countries, I don't see the issue here.

That's exactly one of the current issues. The general rule is something like 'taxation happens where the company creates value'. Registration in Estonia just means taxation starts in Estonia. But at any point can Spain say 'we consider this a Spanish company'. After Spain taxes too, you can request a tax refund in Estonia. That's assuming they agree. Both countries will only communicate with the company, not with each other.

So while double taxation treaties are great, they are not doing much upfront in this respect.

The above is about company taxation, not personal taxes. For SMB that line is often confusing.

You mean Sweden and Denmark, not Scandinavia. And both have different ideas about joining the Eurozone. Norway isn't part of the EU. Finland is using the Euro.

Not even one per day as far as I can tell.

The Amtrack website also mentions:

Known as Maryland's “Queen City,” Cumberland was an early gateway to the West. Today, it is a bustling arts center and popular stopover for cyclists using the trail network between Pittsburgh and Washington, D.C.

> If you store any kind of data about a visitor to make their life more convenient, is that tracking? Shopping carts? Notification preferences? etc.

If it is crucial to provide the service or the service is explicitely requested by the user (i'd argue a shopping cart is), I think you don't need consent (see Article 5 of Directive 2002/58/EC).

Making a video about a specific sound, talking through the whole (first?, hopefully) example.

> But then the governments will legislate against citizens usage of the technology.

No, given some exceptions (think dictators trying), that's not going to happen, right? At that point it's not a technological issue. You're talking about the right to be cryptical in everyday speech.

Edit: or, in a different approach, they'd have to forbid (private) use of (some) algorithms. Again, that sounds like you'll have bigger issues then, no?

This sounded to me like the age of 8. But it's about 8th grade, which seems to be 13-14 year olds.

You can also attempt to do this within IKEA. You can sometimes buy bed/sofa/... legs separately and use ones from other series and furniture.

Sometimes they are quite different, or at least fit your style better than the default ones.

That graph does not have 0 as the starting point, which makes the so called spike look more dramatic. Try to enlarge the view by selecting a much longer period of time.

Logitech's dongles (and possibly others) mimic a USB connection while still being wireless. They also allow you to access your BIOS.

Things being what they are, I don't think Bluetooth is the right setup for input devices.

Isn't that like saying only big companies with specialized roles are allowed to provide app-like functionality?

Among others, smaller shops and single-person companies surely benefit from one delivery platform if you ask me. Even if it's not perfect.
