It Is Difficult to Get a (Hu)Man to Understand Something When His Salary Depends Upon His Not Understanding It.

Ask HN: How can I find trackers I did not place in my stuff?

By sheer luck I found a Tile BLE tracker in a car I purchased recently. I assume it was put there by the previous owner in case of theft and forgotten. It nonetheless has been destroyed. Now I'd really like to know how you defend yourself against this sort of attack?I'm not looking to defend against a 3 letter agency or nation-state, but against any low tech stalker, ex, would be thief, or cop...

I can think of worse things myself.
This is indeed the main reason for the question, and for the reasons you mention.
None of those countries are in the EU, which is important for my use case.
The point is serving EU customers as a EU company yes.
Any suggestions or alternative ways to setup a EU company remotely in your extensive experience and wisdom?
I can't speak about all EU countries, but the one country I looked into (Spain), I couldn't find a way to do everything remotely. It required being physically present for some things, so that's why I am asking about whether Estonia actually delivers IRL on the e part of e-residence.
I am in the US currently, would be managing initially from the US. I understand there will be US tax complications, but I can/would deal with those.

Ask HN: What surprised you about Estonia e-Residency and running an Estonian OÜ?

From the official information online, joining the e-Residency program and setting up an Estonian company seems relatively straightforward.I'm considering using an Estonian OÜ for a SaaS business and would love to hear from people who have actually gone through the process.What surprised you after becoming an e-resident and establishing your company?

This was discussed in at least 3 books that I remember. Guns, getms and steel, why nations fail and the wealth and poverty of nations.
They are usually marked on nautical charts.
