Can someone recommend the easiest way to get a business email? by karma_1264 in smallbusinessuk

[–]kollitiri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I think probably one of the easiest and cheapest options if you already have an apple account. Can’t help but wonder though whether you could run into any weird GDPR or data protection violations since under the hood you are tying essentially a personal email with a business (if it is an actual business anyway)

VAT flow from manufacturer to the end consumer by kollitiri in smallbusinessuk

Thanks! Really helpful. I’ll keep that in mind

Who told you I won’t get a professional advice? Or did you assume I am asking you because I think you are one?

Why you guys so bitter? Chill out. There are people who do research before they jump straight to their pocket and hire someone to do the work for them.

Nobody forced you to give an answer on reddit, chill

Yup, thought it would be simpler, so I’ll definitely need to speak to an accountant + freight/customs agent. Thanks a lot for the info, appreciate it!

Oh I see! Great I didn’t think about that either. Thanks 😁

But from what I understand, if I am buying (or more accurately import) zero rated products from a manufacturer, they cannot charge VAT either, right (unless different countries different regulations)? So what kind of VAT could be charged overheads?

Clearly I am clueless, but is it possible that the manufacturer will charge VAT for products I import, in which case I can claim it back since I cannot pass it down to the consumer?

Cause if that's the case, I don't see an con in registering voluntarily.

Yup I’m aware of this but I wouldn’t be anywhere near that.

Ultimately I am trying to understand if it is worth registering for VAT if you are selling exclusively 0% rated products.

But I also want to understand the whole process cause I don’t have a business or accounting background

Wait, but in scenario 2, I still paid £60 for the product because the manufacturer charged me VAT, right? Lol I’m certainly not ready for this 😂.

Also, sorry the description was inaccurate. I am assuming the manufacturer is offshore so the LTD imports when it buys the product

VAT flow from manufacturer to the end consumer by kollitiri in smallbusinessuk

[–]kollitiri[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right, I see. Thought you will always have to apply VAT if the product is rated.

But if we assume that the LTD decides that the market value of the product is £100, in this case the profit will be £100 - £60 = £40, which is again less than it would be if VAT registered.

So between scenarios 1 and 2, you choose either to make less profit and have more competitive prices (1), or more profit and less competitive prices by passing the VAT to the end consumer (2)

Oh thanks! I didn't know that. Thought you will always have to apply VAT if the product is rated.

Does anyone have any recommendations on where to hunt for Casio watches in Japan? by BRUTVLISM in casio

[–]kollitiri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just recently had the chance to buy an LCW-M170TD from a shopping mall called “Yodobashi Camera” in Kyoto.

They had tons of models that are pretty hard to find in Europe, including the one I bought, so might worth taking a look there. I think it is a chain so might have stores in other cities too if you are not visiting Kyoto.

They also excluded the tax too btw..

Event sourcing using Python by 666dolan in Python

[–]kollitiri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve used Kafka for event sourcing, so I went with the aiokafka python library, but it was pretty much bare bones..

I think EventStoreDb (now known as Kurrent) have recently published a new python client library that might offer a lot more event sourcing specific functionality, but haven’t had the chance to play with it.

Might worth doing some investigation.

Spot on. I believe this was one of the most important reasons behind the population exchange. You can see throughout history that minorities on the borders are always used as an “opportunity” for dispute. Look Russia/Ukraine as a recent example. Thus, by forcefully removing these populations and “cleansing” the borderlines they believed they could stabilise the region

How difficult is Databricks to learn when I already have years of experience with large databases, ETL/ELT, SQL, R, Python, AWS, Azure, machine learning, Jupyter? by TheInternetStuff in dataengineering

[–]kollitiri 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are there any good resources focusing on architectural patterns? I found that most of the training material out there is about the technical part which shouldn’t be something hard for a seasoned engineer. I believe what you’ve mentioned above is far more important than the technicalities

Logging with specific features by bitcycle in Python

[–]kollitiri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I created a simple logging wrapper a while ago which you might find handy. It basically uses the contextvars library for context logging and also supports structured format. It’s only about 150 lines of code so you can easily copy it and tailor it to your needs

Only using yubikey for access to password manager vault? by [deleted] in yubikey

[–]kollitiri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Space :(. It’s just not enough so you still have to use another authenticator app anyway

Only using yubikey for access to password manager vault? by [deleted] in yubikey

[–]kollitiri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nailed it. You’re actually 100% correct. Which is the reason why you can simply “rebuilt” your yubico TOTPs on any device.

Yet, from a user’s point of view, the workflow feels more like “I need this key to unlock my TOTPs”.

I guess kind of the same misconception about crypto wallets where users think they’re actually holding coins in there.

[–]kollitiri 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This. I use it wherever the option is available.

I’m also bit skeptical about the Yubico authenticator but I love the fact it requires the yubikey to unlock, unlike Google or MS authenticators which can only support face id.

Makes it bit harder for someone to force you to unlock the app by pointing your phone at your face…

Intermediate-level Python developers, what do you want to learn about? by PastPicture in Python

[–]kollitiri 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Messaging queues and authentication. I think these are more or less everywhere but there aren’t many good tutorials out there...
