Comment on Isn't EU's "VAT" a regressive tax? Why do they have that, instead of something like, taxing the rich?

  Oh, I’m Estonian. I could literally just drive to the Netherlands and not go through a single border check. It’d be a long-ass drive, but with a station wagon it’s easier to take my stuff with me than with a plane.

  Any suggestions for software companies to apply to?

    I would take a train, it’s much nicer. There’s a lot of small companies out there, with varying levels of spaghetti code.

    I can’t give you a straightforward recommendation. But if your ethics are flexible, google hires people here.

      Oh yes, very soon, they’re building it now is about how it would go. Once Rail Baltica gets built, it’ll be not only feasible, but by far the better option. I’d just need to get someone to ship me my shit, which is inconvenient because computer hardware is expensive and brittle if not packed correctly.
