Re:The World’s Favorite New Tax Haven Is the United States on Wednesday January 27, 2016 @12:22PM (#10981347)
Plainly not true; certainly for banks in the UK overseas and crown dependencies.

If you like these you may also like Grovemade - http://grovemade.com. Initially I even thought it was from them.
Re:Become Estonia’s e-resident on Monday October 06, 2014 @08:09PM (#8419089)
TL;DR No.

You're likely to run into domestic Controlled Foreign Corporation rules. Basically if you or your family own a large portion of a foreign registered company and that company is taxed less than domestic tax rates, it'll be classed as actually residing in your home country for corporate tax purposes.

Why will anyone trust something based/developed in the USA related to security? It's a compromised jurisdiction. For anyone creating security products who wants to be credible will need to be based somewhere that respects privacy.
Re:Vienna again named world's most liveable city on Thursday February 20, 2014 @10:36AM (#7271257)
I visited at christmas and it felt like people were very reserved and yes at times quite rude / snobbish. Apart from that, seemed like a nice place.
Re:An Estonian Startup With €25 Million Turnover on Thursday September 26, 2013 @10:31AM (#6450977)
Jersey (Channel Islands) is working on becoming a focus point for technology investment and startups. While technically it's not part of the EU, it is part of Europe. There's very low taxes and gigabit fibre is being rolled out too.
Glad to see it's still going well - it had a great atmosphere a decade ago when I was there. So much goes on there that isn't widely reported.

Is it possible to buy these and get them shipped outside of Finland?
Re:Our first app: One month on the iOS App Store on Friday January 06, 2012 @05:28AM (#3432768)
I second this; I've been a happy user since v1 of AppViz. Might want to try out AppSalesMobile if you want the figures on the move.
I completely agree, AppViz 2 is an excellent app for checking and storing sales reports, iAd revenue, customer reviews & app ranks.
Re:How to get 4 to 5 stars on the App Store on Monday March 07, 2011 @05:12AM (#2296660)
So true. I added code to ask regular users to rate the app and received a lot of 4/5 star reviews. Ask happy customers and they'll willingly give your app a good rating.
Re:Why So Many Rich People Don’t Feel Very Rich on Tuesday January 11, 2011 @12:13PM (#2092601)
a close friend just put away ~$2.5M for a year and is only getting 1.25%. They're more concerned with stability/low risk than growth.
Re:Ask HN: Hacker Houses in London? on Thursday October 28, 2010 @08:29AM (#1842596)
Thanks for the link. I'm still surprised in a city the size of London that there aren't more places!

Ask HN: Hacker Houses in London?

Are there any hacker houses in London? I'm interested in moving into a creative hacker house in central/west London with fellow hackers. I'm surprised that I can't seem to find any so I'm turning to HN!
