Your ISP sent you a push notification? How?


My guess would be via one of those white-labeled apps required to set up your home router. For example, a Comcast, Spectrum, Astound, T-Mobile, etc.


I don't understand what you're trying to say? Is this like M.K.Ultra?


What is that bit about Bedrijfsaansprakelijkheids­verzekering at the end? I've never heard of business liability insurance before. Does Germany not have an equivalent of an LLC?


He didn't create an LLC he's a 'stichting' which is basically a non profit with a specific goal to achieve.

He doesn't want to create an LLC because he doesn't want anyone to question his motives.

Also this is the Netherlands not Germany :)


A stichting isn't nonprofit without ANBI status. They can do whatever they want with the money afaik (technically: anything in accordance with the bylaws, but they wrote the bylaws)


Business liability insurance is standard practice for those operating a foundation (the post calls it nonprofit but afaik that's not the same thing unless they intend to apply for ANBI status, after which you can donate tax-deductably, at least per my understanding)

I don't know if it's standard for other business types as well, like in a BV (afaik that's what you call LLC). If you're not the only shareholder, it might help prevent legal issues when you make some mistake and it just gets paid from insurance. That's the purpose of it in a stichting anyway (negligence claims; getting into debts where you could allegedly have foreseen that the foundation can't afford it)


That‘s Dutch, and the same sentence mentions Netherlands. Equivalent of LLC exists everywhere, but business insurance still makes sense if you want to stay in business after paying damages.


Hahaha

Let me guess - you live in the UK?


Rent free


Slashdot still exists?


Well, “exists” is a pretty broad spectrum.


I miss the comment tagging system: insightful, informative, interesting, funny. It would make sense for hn.


You forgot Troll, you insensitive clod!


"Score: 5, Troll" is the ultimate achievement.

To put it that into context, some tags count as upvotes, others count as downvotes, "Troll" is a downvote. So to have your post labelled as "Troll" with a positive score, it has to have enough upvotes to compensate the penalty from the "Troll" votes, but without having another tag dominate. 5 is the maximum score.

"Score: 5, Troll" is therefore the mark of a very successful troll.


They also have "Underrated" and "Overrated" which apply points but do not act as tags. So I guess the easiest way to get +5 Troll is to have many Troll and Underrated votes, if it works the way I think it does.


you must be new here


Why is the line drawn at being international?

What is it about customers in Ethiopia that necessitates this? What is it about American (non-international) customers that doesn't require a register?


I suppose in the context of the article you're commenting on you're saying the bad people are the ones defending the women and children from being raped?


"The use of drones in these areas causes more collateral damage among the civilian population than it truly neutralizes gangs."


Only 5% of the deaths seem to be collateral damage. There can be no freedom without order.


A permanent, non-negligible chance of becoming a collateral victim in an extrajudicial drone killing doesn't sound like order to me.

TFA mentions residents are very scared. They live in a war zone.

Edit: I get the argument that it was a war zone anyway and people are also afraid of the gangs. But that comes from the fallacy of seeing the drone strikes as the only option. There are better ways to create order than creating even more chaos and hope it hits the right people sometimes.


Haiti has been a shit show for like 200 years now. You don’t think they’ve tried every method they can think of to deal with the criminals? What are the better methods to deal with chaos that they have been ignoring?


> You don’t think they’ve tried every method

No, I don't. Their experimentation is constrained by many forces.


Good thing I transitioned last year, I like my job


What does 3.500USD mean? Are we bringing back the half-penny?


He’s European and uses a “.” instead of a “,”


Varies by country in Europe.


Varies by country on earth [citation needed].


You’re also not correct even if it were a decimal marker. Three dollars and fifty cents requires no half cent.


Specifying the second 0 implies portions of one cent. Like if I said something costs 10USD, the one dollar bill is implied to exist even if it isn't used (same with 10.00 implying the existence of a penny)
