Given that successful companies will need to travel to the US for funding anyway, I wonder how long before the standard vehicle for a EU startup becomes a Delaware LLC. Regarding FinTech, you have a strong point there.

The US has google, Russia has yandex, China has baidu. Europe is the only major economic area that has failed to create a tech giant, and I tell people here in Europe that if this plan to create a common data market "works", inste

VAT is a total administrative PITA, I would hate to see any additional systems modeled on it. I founded a start-up in Europe, and most of my accounting costs are recovering VAT on business expenses. There's an argument that VAT is an e

I've done it at 140kts with a GoPro. Feels like your arm is in cold turbulant water. Presumably at 200kts the forces would be double.

I lived with a family who had an Au Pairs who were similar ages to me at the time and got to them and their Au Pair friends quite well. There is definitely a divide between families who do a good job of integrating and involving an Au Pair

It's actually simpler than that, median household income != median wage. Here's the chart the parent wants. Simple explanation is that there are more dual income households. https://aneconomicsense.files.wordpress.com&#

This argument forgets that where people spend most of their money, housing, education, healthcare, costs are rapidly raising in real terms and have not followed Moore's law in usefulness. Yes technology has made cool gadgets for consum

I originally succumbed to YouTube premium because of the bundled music. I remembered thinking at the time this bundling put Spotify at a disadvantage. When for unrelated reasons I started degoogling sure enough I went straight to Spotify. C

I agree that the employee/employer relationship is highly asymmetrical. I'm now an employer of one, in Europe, and I can tell you I passed up on many candidates where the screening error bars should have been acceptable, but the e

Don't really want to say because of legality of scraping, but it was a big one with convenient data attributes on the ingredient elements. Shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

I've done this as well using scraped recipes from a website that conveniently labeled all ingredients with data tags for their referral program. Although my goal was to find recipes that shared ingredients to cut back on wastage. I use

The gripe I have against some "government socialism" countries is that even though taxes drive up the cost of doing business, the burden of providing stable jobs is still pushed on the employers. Firing people can range from expen

Denmark has a law that you can't be taxed more than 56% of your income. Then there is 25% VAT (sales tax), so if you're in the top bracket and spend your entire income you can theoretically be taxed 67%. Cars have a special 160% t

I recently watched a TED talk which changed my opinion of renewables from "maybe" to "no". Basically he argues that solar and wind are low density energy sources that require significant resources to capture, which all b

GPDR missed a massive opportunity to standardize encrypted email. Instead we're now stuck with crappy 3rd party "secure mail" systems. I have a startup in Denmark, and the incubator we're part of applied for an EU fundin

I haven't editorialized the title. The interesting part is the resolution capabilities of the spy satellite compared to what's commercially available.

Not a cure, but Chroma Doze available from fdroid is a fantastic noise generator that lets you easily create new combinations of static noise. Sometimes when my tinnitus gets a bit worse I find I can hear it over the noise generator. Changi
