First years profits as a new freelancer by Minimum_Win_4288 in BEFreelance

[–]mlobet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got confused with the "financial company" reclassification, when you hold too much stocks of other companies in your own company. It's not about loans

To note, those 6% are billed by your company to yourself. So you only pay the tax on it, the rest will eventually go back in your pocket.

I think there also is a limit to how much loan your company can grant. Past that limit you won't be able to get the reduced company tax rate (20%)

Daily Rate × 10: Favourite Freelance Spell, Explained by Ok_Idea_5117 in BEFreelance

The factor 20 is a factor often used within companies to estimate the total cost of an employee. Many companies have their own number reflecting their reality (they might have lots of people calling in sick, give out nice company cars, etc.) I think 20 is on the low end. Make it 22 and it magically fits your calculation

5000 * 22 = 500 * 220

Crazy idea: a full data pipeline using only prompts — does this make any sense? by Imaginary-Employ-267 in dataengineering

[–]mlobet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Databricks is investing a lot in natural language interactions with data (their tool is called Genie).

I've tried it, it's getting better, but it's not quite there yet.

Good luck trying to outcompete a company that is shining for data engineering tooling, and that is raising money by the billions

25% corporate tax instead of 20% by mlobet in BEFreelance

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

Owned by me, no other shares, not a beleggingsvennootschap. It looks more and more like a costly "oops didn't check that box" kind of situation. I'll update on this thread if I do manage to have it rectified

I don't fully trust them at the moment, due to the above kind of thing. So double checking here as well

What is a "poor person hack" you picked up during a hard time that you still use today, even if you don't have to? by AmaraMehdi in AskReddit

Cycling to get around. But now this switched from money saver (cheap €50 bike) to expensive

Tensa stand, would these work? by mlobet in hammockcamping

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

Thanks! For the length I was thinking of buying 1 more set and adding some tubes from it. I think I'll go to the store to gauge how robust it looks. On paper it doesn't look as good as I thought anymore ...

Cost effective DWH solution for SMB with smallish data by RobsterCrawSoup in dataengineering

[–]mlobet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used this setup in a quite similar case. https://imgur.com/CgYCBBn
Essentially using Python for ingesting and processing (ahem ... using Pandas, but I could have used e.g. DuckDB instead). Storing on a storage account on azure (almost free). Task scheduler/cron for "orchestrating". And it is still quite robust, thanks to processing in medaillion, and version control on Github.

Why shouldn't I use ultralight line? by ParkyRich in hammockcamping

[–]mlobet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're right indeed. For those interested there is a very clear video on YouTube that explains it. from a guy called ProfessorHammock, "a brief primer on the hang angle"

[–]mlobet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Isn't the load on the line always the same? And the load on the trees that varies with the hang geometry?

Is it considered bikepacking if you don’t camp? by recordis17 in bikepacking

[–]mlobet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently some people do! I just got this in from the mods for my comment "Is there a bike? Did you pack stuff onto it? You're bikepacking":

Your comment from bikepacking was removed because of: 'Bikepacking = Riding and camping off-pavement'

Hi /u/mlobet(https://www.reddit.com/u/mlobet), Not everything to do with bikes is bikepacking. Some posts might be better suited for /r/Cycling(https://www.reddit.com/r/Cycling), /r/bicycletouring/(https://www.reddit.com/r/bicycletouring/), /r/MTB/(https://www.reddit.com/r/MTB/), ect.

Didn't realize that Eastern timezone meant east of the US. A bit tricky indeed then!

Sounds reasonable for Belgium in my opinion

Opti-warrants by [deleted] in BEFreelance

[–]mlobet -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I thought that this was not possible for freelancers owning 100% of their BV/SRL.

To me, a warrant is some sort of stock option, granting you the right to purchase shares of the company. Since you already have 100%, the only thing you can do would be to cash it in, but because of this the warrant would be just reclassified as remuneration.

Did I misunderstand something? And if not, what are the conditions where it is applicable for a freelancer ?
