    How do you fight bureaucracy for others?

    IDEA 
    I would even go beyond only state wise regulations. Companies wrap consumers in red tap also a lot with their contracts.

    How do you fight bureaucracy for others?

    IDEA 
    I saw a report on the excesses of bureaucracy. It was striking how the bureaucratic problems brought people to the brink of despair. Some of them were entrepreneurs who generally took it a little more humorously, but there were also private individuals who couldn't grasp government requirements...

    Elon Musk tells Disney to "go f*ck themselves"

    HOT! CHAT 
    TLDR: No, Elon didn't do more for the planet than anybody else. And electric cars probably won't save the planet. Longer version: The claim that he has done more for the planet than anyone else is ridicules. First, it cannot be proven. Secondly, even if you assume he is talking about CO2...

    Product Roadmaps for Indie Hackers

    IDEA 
    Hm, is this really a pain that indie hackers complain about. Why can't they just tell their customers to submit issues to their GitHub project?

    Architect in Germany

    INTRO 
    Hi @Nestable, I don't think you necessarily need to serve your day job clients with big projects. But working with them, you are in a unique position to learn more about their needs, wants and pains. MJ would probably say: Think like a producer. I like to think most successful business...

    What corporation to choose living in Germany?

    QUESTION 
    You don't need to get a second tax ID. You only need this for corporations. Revenue for a sole proprietor is just another income stream (Einkommensart).

To be honest, this is not the story of my first sale, but of an early sale that I can remember :) I had a business selling laptops with Linux only. it was about 2008.

    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    At the moment I am reading: Unraveling the Fediverse: A Journey into Decentralized Social Networking - Morgan Lee. Unfortunately it is written very poorly. It seems it is written with the help of some generative AI, but I am trying to hang in there. The Millionaire Fastlane - MJ DeMarco :)...

    NOTABLE! HOT! MINDSET 
    Google doesn't offer free services. They just have a different business model. They sell you and your data to the highest bidder.

    Disregarded Control in CENTS. The consequences.

    EXECUTION 
    I know how you are feeling. I had a similar problem with a Google API. It was an Add-on for Google Drive. In my case, it was a limitation with access rights, that I would have never assumed existed, but it doomed the project despite having over 10,000 installations. Bottom line: App/add-on...

    Critique My Website: Political-themed Clothing

    IDEA FEEDBACK 
    I am missing emotion on this site. It is about political statements and clothing, both highly emotional topics. The website should reflect that. Probably with good photos of people with faces – again it is about emotion. I would look at some fashion sites, like rapha, nike, hm and some...

    Business ideas with this new ChatGPT feature

    IDEA 
    Did you try these ideas? In my experience, AIs tend to be very overconfident with their opinions. While there are for generating stuff that doesn't need to be accurate, they often suck at being exact. I would assume that critiquing Images and producing propts for web designs need to be accurate.
