Re:Bending Spoons buying Miro for $1.355B on Thursday September 10, 2026 @10:47AM (#49644681)
2xARR is extremely low, I'd like to know why they sold. After being valued at 17B selling for close to ~2B is interesting.
It's progressive so the first 10k are not taxed as the last 10k. I do not deny, the problem is that 60k is the highest bracket* so >60k you are considered rich.

In Spain if you earn more than 60k you are considered rich.

* There's one of 300k at 47% but even that one does not change so much as the <60k to >60k.

No 60k EUR is gross, which nets around 3k EUR month + 2 extras (Summer and Christmas). Or 3.4k EUR month without extras.
This is a shortcut for taxing unrealized gains.

They start with NW >100 million and start decreasing the concept of Ultra-Rich until everyone non-broke eventually pays it.

In Spain it happened with the Work Tax which from >60k EUR (68k USD) goes to 45% as if earning 3k EUR (3.4k USD) per month made you rich.

Re:Perfection Is Not Over-Engineering on Monday July 20, 2026 @10:39AM (#48979531)
I disagree, requirements are only a part of the engineering process. Perfection will be redefined after the product, tech, team knowledge changes, which will constantly.

Spend too much time thinking into perfection, trying to achieve it and you will get a convoluted system with lava-layer patterns full of complexity astronauts.

What if the agent realizes it has no consequences defaulting?
Oh great so 2*30=60 he only owes 28.3$ million... hehe

I guess you wanted to say 2^30 which makes 1.5$

I hate them.

If they ask for data, I just fill junk. If they don't then it's just a hassle.

I'd ban them. Just give me internet, my man.

I was reading "The Victorian Internet" by Tom Standage and decide to build a proof of concept of an online telegraph.
Hi, I built this free tool to showcase Amazon Wishlist. I use the wishlists to manage my books. I dit the tool to showcase Amazon Wishlists in a cooler way than Amazon does. It's called zonlist.

It’s completely free, embeddable, and designed with privacy in mind—we don’t share any specific details from the list.

I thought that it may be useful for some of you. Luckily I can get some feedback.

Why it's everything NYT Bestseller non-fiction? I'm not a big fan of NYT Bestseller non-fiction but I find myself much better with novels matching my mood. If it's something older or classic, better.

Re:OpenBSD folklore and share/misc/airport on Thursday June 09, 2022 @03:55AM (#31678646)
I visited 4 airports that aren't in the list. Do you think I can add them to the list? Never committed before to OpenBSD so I do not know if I compute as a "OpenBSD developers" in "New airports can only be added by OpenBSD developers who have visited an airport and thereby have verified its existence."
Re:Is Hacker News a good predictor of future tech trends? on Tuesday August 24, 2021 @09:56AM (#28288898)
I'd say no. Lots of (successful) ideas have been dismissed by this community.

And that is okey.
