Kudos, this is a very novel take! What's the most surprising emergent behavior you've observed? Have you observed any "social dynamics" that you didn't explicitly program?
Thanks for the comment! They can get pretty mad at each other relatively easily, frowning and battle crying, which is always fun to watch. When we turned on voice models (in the pipeline!!:)) their voices did as well
seriously, this embodied interaction angle seems like a much more humane way to understand AI behavior than just staring at walls of text. even if it occasionally feels like you're running a very advanced digital terrarium
From my experience as a sole proprietor in the EU, yes... you very much need invoices issued with your VAT number for any business expense, or else you get in big trouble. (Also many invoices in EU are e-invoices, which means the tax authorities get updated in real-time, so your tax account gets updated automatically, so you don't have to file taxes -- you just see a balance of what you owe and from what transaction...)
Also... the author's main point is that policies should make sense, not that the loophole is difficult or risky to exploit.
Depends where in the EU maybe? Also depends on the transaction. If the VAT number is on your business expense, you can sometimes avoid paying VAT upfront. Else you can often get your VAT reimbursed later, depending on whether it's a national purchase or an international purchase.
It's sometimes worth it to mention your VAT number as it can save money and/or effort, but I've not heard of it being mandatory, at least not in the Netherlands.
You're describing civil disobedience, and its moral justifiability is a well-research topic of ethics.
In my understand, there are several elements for something to be civil disobedience, and therefore possibly morally justifiable: (1) having exhausted other means, (2) using it for political purposes (in the sense that you're doing it to inform/affect your polity--your community), and (3) accepting the legal consequences of your actions (i.e. turning yourself in).
I found the "Sign up for free" option too misleading for my preferences: it leads you to create a project, which immediately leads to a payment page. I guess I did "sign up for free", but I'm not sure what signing up got me.
Kudos on getting my email —— I hope I don't get any marketing materials I didn't consent to.
Understood, the message can be confusing, so I'll take it down. Originally, it was meant for individuals invited to a board by someone else, allowing them to sign up without creating a board. If it's causing confusion, I'll make sure to clarify it.
If you'd like, I can delete your account. Just use the feedback widget on the site to let me know which account you want to be deleted. Also, rest assured, I don't send any marketing materials.
We are new to the market and we already have a big todo list we area already working on, we now supports React and React native beside the SVG download and copy from our web app, and also we already have our Figma plugin.
we may got some issues, but our development team is dedicated to solve them asap.
and for the package you mentioned, I think you are talking about our react-pro package that is mainly for react/next js and we are going to support all other frameworks in the near future.
They already have a simple web app hugeicons.pro, you can choose any icon you want or collect many in a collection and download them all as SVG or React components.
It's okay that Apple doesn't like a European law. As a US-based company, it makes sense that it feels like a foreigner is meddling in their affairs... It's okay that they continue to have the hubris that Apple, and Apple alone, knows what's best for everyone.
However... the democratically-elected institutions of the EU represent a total of 447 million people. Most technologists I know in the EU are pro-DMA.
It doesn't feel like Apple has ever engaged in any kind of external discussion around this, or any kind of acknowledgment that there may be an issue with their current policies.
It's like walking it the courtroom with bloody hands and screaming in an obviously fake British accent "MURDER?!? THAT IS RIDICULOUS, Your Honor. I AM WEARING A TUXEDO."
Apple's arguments at every single junction have been nothing short of ridiculous. My favorite one:
"Apple operates 5 distinct App Stores: the iOS App Store, the macOS App Store, the iPadOS App Store, etc..., and only the iOS one is big enough to be a "gatekeeper"." [0]
