I had the same thought. In high school around the turn of the millenium the warhammerers either got a few injections per year to their collections, as presents from relatives or from saved up allowances, unless they made a small business out of painting and selling figures.
Ten-fifteen years later they've started making big monies compared to a kid, and nostalgia is a powerful marketing tool.
Once the iPad generations take over I suspect Games Workshop will have it tougher.
'Your PDF:s will open slower because we decided that the CDN providers are more important than you'.
If size was important to users then it wouldn't be so common that systems providers crap out huge PDF files consisting mainly of layout junk 'sophistication' with rounded borders and whatnot.
The PDF/A stuff I've built stays under 1 MB for hundreds of pages of information, because it's text placed in a typographically sensible manner.
Ridiculous statement. CDN providers can already use filesystem compression and standard HTTP Accept-Encoding compression for transfers (which includes brotli by the way). This ISO provides virtually no benefit to them
Commonly school is teaching a method. "Getting the right answer" is just a byproduct of applying the method. If you tell your kid that they should just learn the methods you teach and be dismissive or angry about school trying to teach them other techniques, that's probably going to cause some issues downstream.
Techniques of an "intuitive" character often lack or have formal underpinnings that are hard to understand, which means they do not to the same extent implicitly teach analytical methods that might later be a requirement for formal deduction.
I hope that I wouldn't be dismissive or angry. My worry is that my son will feel dejected because he (correctly) thinks he understands something but is told he's wrong. I also worry about him getting external validation from following a method, and will value that over genuine understanding and flexible thinking. But I see your point that it's my responsibility to help him work through that and engage with the syllabus.
With permits and fees and accounting assistance you'd probably land around 1500 per year having a OÜ company in Estonia. If you aren't going to make more than that I don't really see the point of having a company, you might as well save up that amount in cash and hold it in case you personally become liable from whatever activity you want to do.
Yea probably doesn't make sense for just starting out.
I think this might be the only option available right? Do you know of any other option perhaps cheaper than this?
I think I can only promise at this point that if project becomes worth it ie. makes reasonably lot more than >1500 per year then the project might migrate to as such.
I was seeing an estimates of 300$-400$ on internet and I assumed that was expensive (here, the MSME's don't even require a company formation itself & you get benefits of payment dispute collection & investment from govts directly and lower rate loans and you can get it all online just using aadhaar card which everyone has)
LLC's are a bit of a mess with accounting (I actually wanted to be chartered accountant during my middle school so I saw they make a bank in fees comparatively too) but its still pretty reasonable.
Anyways, what would be the best bet, would this still be the best bet or is there anything which can allow for something say cheaper/easier? Would say having an European co-founder might help comparatively in the fees/other options?
Estonia is the easiest option, they've aimed explicitly for attracting foreigners starting companies in their jurisdiction without actually moving there. I'm not aware of any similar regulations elsewhere in the EU, typically you need at least one local on the board or something like that.
If you squeeze it you could probably get down to 3-400 euros per year starting from the second year (due to one-time fees the first year) if you do your own books and taxes and whatnot, but just paying upfront for keeping things neat according to the local bureaucracy is likely a kind of convenience you'd want.
I'd say you should start buying some services from european infra and compute providers and see if your ideas make money. You can get away with very little if you get some storage and processing time through e.g. Scaleway or Hetzner, and with a bit of fiddling I expect them to sell to you regardless of whether you have a company or not. If you start making money enter some Hetzner auction and get real hardware, cost will be predictable and typically you get a lot for the money.
Agreed agreed, I already have the past time hobby of contacting cloud providers (usually European) for custom solutions and following lowendtalk and other forums and scraping and creating datasheets of data. SO I am pretty familiar with the whole process and honestly Hetzner's pretty good/one of the best :)
{Ovh is great but it has a one time setup fee for its dedicated, personally I love hetzner auctions for the most part too but Hetzner is a little restrictive in ban first policy and they are strict so for some workflows like creating a reseller etc., Hetzner does have some flaws but still one of the best companies and their support's really feels good as well!}
Thanks for your response, I will look into the estonia thing later if I would need to seriously pivot to EU for any reason.
Currently thinking that I can use wise or anything to accept SEPA bank payments and other if need be.
I don't know, pruning based on age and restoring by writing a new row based on the soft deleted one seems less complex than the cascade handling in the trigger solution.
