Arkivering digitalt eller på papper – vad gäller?
https://www.bjornlunden.se/digitalisera-f%C3%B6retaget/arkivering-digitalt-eller-p%C3%A5-papper--vad__516, posted 3 Jan by peter in business inswedish reference
Enligt bokföringslagen ska räkenskapsinformation arkiveras (sparas) i sju års tid – och i den form den hade när den kom till företaget. Får exempelvis ett företag in material på papper ska det också arkiveras på papper och har det kommit in elektroniskt ska det arkiveras elektroniskt. Det går däremot inte att skanna in pappersfakturor och sedan slänga fakturorna när allt är inskannat. Man får inte heller skriva ut elektroniska fakturor och sedan bara arkivera dem på papper, de måste även arkiveras digitalt.
Väljer du att skanna in en pappersfaktura säger dock bokföringslagen att du bara behöver arkivera pappersfakturan (originalet) i tre år och den inskannade kopian i sju år.

The wrong questions about Ukraine’s war
https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2023/12/the-wrong-questions-about-ukraines-war/676342/, posted 14 Dec by peter in opinion politics russia ukraine usa war
The United States has so far provided military aid to Ukraine that amounts to roughly a tenth of its total annual defense budget. In return, one of America’s most dangerous enemies has sacrificed almost all of its existing soldiers and the bulk of its armor. The courage of the Ukrainian people and the valor of their armed forces have accomplished all of this without a single American soldier being ordered into battle. And yet Republicans want to depict this astonishing achievement as a budgetary strain that makes America less safe.

PseudoPod 887: Midnight in the Southland
https://pseudopod.org/2023/10/20/pseudopod-887-midnight-in-the-southland/, posted 10 Dec by peter in audio fiction horror literature podcast
“The Southland’s a different place,” Gus said once, “with secret towns and secret highways, filled with secret people wearing secret smiles.”
While growing up, I always thought he was talking in metaphors.
Years later, long after college, I discovered I was wrong.
Great story, great narration, great audio production. Good job Pseudopod!

What to read to become a better writer
https://www.economist.com/the-economist-reads/2022/09/09/what-to-read-to-become-a-better-writer, posted 1 Dec by peter in howto list reference toread writing
Yes, writing is hard. But if you can first grasp the origins and qualities of bad writing, you may learn to diagnose and cure problems in your own prose (keeping things simple helps a lot). Similarly heartening is the observation that most first drafts are second-rate, so becoming a skilled rewriter is the thing. These five works are excellent sources of insight and inspiration.

What Is BIMI (And Why Should Email Marketers Care?)
https://www.litmus.com/blog/what-is-bimi-and-why-should-email-marketers-care, posted 21 Oct by peter in development email toread
BIMI is a way to verify information about your brand. Like DMARC, DKIM, and SPF—three methods for verifying sender information—BIMI is a text record that lives on your servers. In fact, it works right alongside SPF, DMARC, and DKIM to signal to email clients that you are you. As such, BIMI aids in deliverability, too.

Cash, corruption, crumbling dams — that's China's Belt and Road Initiative, 10 years in
https://www.euronews.com/2023/10/17/cash-corruption-crumbling-dams-thats-chinas-belt-and-road-initiative-10-years-in, posted Oct '23 by peter in china politics propaganda transparency
In the decades since it was first proposed, the initiative and the world around it have changed profoundly. Optimism and ambition for the BRI have been replaced by broken promises, cracked dams, and wrecked state treasuries throughout the emerging economies and trading partners who took a chance on Xi’s signature infrastructure and investment program.
Introduced as a means to fund much-needed infrastructure and connectivity, the BRI has imposed a staggering bill on the countries that signed up for it.

Why you shouldn't join Y Combinator
https://newsletter.smallbets.co/p/why-you-shouldnt-join-y-combinator, posted Oct '23 by peter in business entrepreneurship opinion
One of the bad learnings you get from YC is that there’s a formula for success, and it looks like this: First you do some brainstorming. Then you come up with a good idea that can scale to a billion dollars (otherwise what’s the point of getting out of bed in the morning?) Then you work hard until you find “product-market-fit.” And then if the noises from investors indicate you won’t be getting a next round of funding, you start looking for a “pivot.”
This so-called formula is nonsense. First, good ideas rarely come to us from a brainstorming session. They come from wandering about with an open mind until we stumble on an opportunity worth pursuing. Most of your ideas will be bad ideas, because unfortunately you’re not a genius visionary. So the best way to find good ideas is to have many ideas, try them out, take what works, and throw away the rest. But this is not what YC wants you to do. YC wants you to pick an idea that has market pull (or the potential for it), and to then dig a hole in the same spot until you reach the boiling magma. Because what if you stop digging just before you strike gold? When you’re cheap and expendable, that’s not an optimal strategy for the YC fund. You must go all in. Diversification is for your YC overlords, not for you.
