Biden did not invent this. Its been in the works for years pushed by other countries. USA just agreed or some will say conceded.

Established Companies love regulations, it hinders competition to eating market share.

Both. USA wanted minimum tax another countries were more competitive.

Other countries are pissed at Google charging for day Adverts but paying no tax in there country on services they sell.

A compromise was made.

UK was the holdout that forced this Two Pilar compromise.

This was all pre-biden, just could not go forward with Trump. With Biden it was possible again.

Give him credit for agreeing. Don't give him credit for creating.

I'd take it over the Euro.

If its an online service, Why not set up in another country? Who don't have such tight restrictions. You can try e-residency in Estonia.
It makes sense to me.
Yes, if they cant unsubscribe people. I could not care less, it bothers me more this guy crying about getting an email.
GDPR does exist but should GDPR exist so people can cry about an odd email. No.

Maybe because im based in the North of the UK, I've never been or should I say seen a Microsoft Retail Store. Walked past plenty of Apple Stores.

Well - he will certainly be charged in the UK for breach of bail conditions if he steps out of that embassy.

Re:UK triggers the official Brexit process in a letter to EU on Wednesday March 29, 2017 @01:09PM (#13988374)
On those negatives: "higher prices" our food prices are rather high due to EU Tarrifs from none-eu countries. Food Prices can fall as the UK free to make trade deals with others. (Specific meat and Australia)

"lower employment" we have low-unemployment and a plan to reduce immigration. Employment will perhaps rise which may not be a good thing.

"lower standards for UK workers" labour opposition myth, its a good one "nasty tories". If they lower standards we elect labour in again to raise them. yey democracy

Re:Build a Vue.js Website in 4 Steps on Thursday March 02, 2017 @10:02AM (#13774429)
Website is hosted with GoDaddy - many GoDaddy websites are down today.

Though that does not give me confidence, as Cosmic JS seems like a hosted database/api layer.

Which highlights reason why I could not use them on a project. Can not build a service that is reliant on another service in such a way.

Open Source or go home.
