they dont necessarily give the google bot this version of the page. its perfectly ok to prerender the page with something like phantomjs and send the crawler the prerendered pages. this was , to my knowledge, quite common with angularjs apps that relied heavily on seo/google juice.

well at least in germany you are supposed to declare this income. but that is the same with any form of rent that you gain based on your property. so it doesnt matter if i rent out a property that i own for the whole year via a classified ad in the newspaper or for 1 week via airbnb.

i just checked this particular item but all the countries that use € are all 2499€ and the others (uk, swe..) are about 2500€. i guess the difference here comes from the actual curreny differences.

i think its mostly taxes, because when i add the 19% VAT that i would have to repay when entering germany with a us bought laptop (i think laptops are toll free, not sure ... but some electronic devices have tolls) im at ~$3000

MBP Retina 15", top of the line $2,499.00 in the us, 2,499.00€ ($3,327.94) in germany . its exactly the savings range that they are targeting

Backpack is basically a network for tax evasion and smuggling stuff. sounds ... fishy.

you dont know the german BGS ... if you dont have a receipt for anything electronic that doesnt look like its 5 years old you are basically fucked. additional to the tax you have to pay you get a hefty fee because its treated as tax evasion. you can do a lot of stuff ... but not tax evasion.

a least S3 has an option to turn a bucket into a static web host. i run multiple angularjs apps directly from S3 via cloudfront without any servers.

is there a reason that you are serving the site from a server and not from something like s3/cloundfront/etc?

i've heard great stuff about oauth.io . they try to provide an abstractionlayer that handles the various different implementations (often buggy or not to spec) of oauth.

but isnt that just a categorisation like Crime, Drama, Comedy? Anf if not: how are other (non japanese) animated movies/series (justice league etc) treated?

Can someone please explain why there is a distinction between Anime and TV Shows? Its my understanding that Anime are either in a Movie Format (Standalone) or in a TV Format (Series).
