They ran out of money after the CEO spent all of the money on...questionable...purchases. All of the employees were laid off with no notice.
Source on that? I can’t find anything and I’d be interested in knowing more, especially for the future prospects of the project

Germany does taxes automatically in many cases. If you are just a regular employee you don't have to do anything. You usually only fill out a tax form if you have some extra expenses to declare for which you would like to get some money back.
Same in Italy, tax report is actually not needed if you're a regular employee and don't have anything else to declare. If you do, each year you get a pre-filled form on which you only need to add your deductible expenses and/or additional income outside the regular employment.

There’s a few very expensive purely mechanical no-date watches, but I haven’t been able to find an affordable one.
I guess it depends on what affordable means to you. You can find quite a few Orient watches without date at really reasonable prices, a couple of Timex too. If you're willing to spend a bit more you can also get various no-date Hamilton.

Btw, the political correct name for the Italian town in the video is "Franzensfeste" and not "Fortezza". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franzensfeste
It is located in the German speaking part of Italy called South Tyrol. There have never been a lot of Italian speaking inhabitants in this region, and the Italian names of the towns have been given by Italian fascists. So people living there don't like them very much.
Franzensfeste was chosen by fascists as well, according to the Italian Wikipedia page. The previous name was Mezzaselva all'Isarco/Mittewald am Eisack.
Italian people used to be the majority (~60% in the '60s) down to ~40% now, which is still a significant number.

Or it could just be that Montessori education really isn't that special and for most people a standard education is as good or even superior. If Montessori kids really were obviously more successful public education would change.
How do you measure the quality of education? Knowledge, monetary or political wealth, happiness?

- Test -> stdlib + testify/assert + vektra/mockery
- Dependency injection -> manual DI passing values and objects down
- Routing framework -> gorilla/mux
- HTTP web frameworks -> stdlib + go-kit for the general architecture
We then have a pretty large internal library for all things shared
