Let's assume you have a startup and you want it to be registered in Estonia, paying taxes and using the Estonian banks for financial purposes.
1. With e-Residency you can't enter Estonia, you need a separate business or travel visa [1]
2. At present, it’s still necessary to travel to Estonia in order to apply in person for an Estonian business bank account. [2]
3. Good, fancy and catchy name "e-Residency" is actually an infinite loop of bureaucracy. You can't remotely open a bank account, you need to travel personally to Estonia, and you have a chance that banks will approve your application. But you can't enter Estonia with this "e-Residency" for this to happen.
And this is just a little tip of the iceberg, there are a lot of articles about real experience of e-residents of how unfriendly for "e-residents" the banks in Estonia are. And without a bank you can't make your startup work.
Today it's just better with the same level of bureaucracy to open a company in other, more startup-friendly countries that grant a residency and have decent, more digital-friendly banks.
I hope something will change in near future, the main idea of e-residency is actually really amazing.
What about independent researches and tests that all state obvious facts - battery is not that bad, but the overall internal construction was flawed the battery was positioned close to high-heating elements which caused the overheating the battery and blasts. Pathetic false statements from Samsung, but nothing new. Who can trust this crooked company after such bs explanations...
I'm confused. The only "independent research" I've seen regarding the battery has been articles written by people guessing (maybe educated but still a guess) at the problem.
Was there independent research outside of the 3 separate companies Samsung used? Is their research available for download and how does it compare with the 4 sets of research in the linked article above?

Considering there really wasn't a lot of exploding phones they recalled pretty damn quickly. Why would they even lie here? What would they gain? If they lie, do it again and they're going have to take them all back again.
