It's undignified because it's prizes to the highest performer, instead of bonuses to everyone meeting a certain goal. They are essentially pitting employees against each other, because if i sabotage someone else, i have a better s

I am going to need some sort of citation for the idea that Europe has high corporate taxes. According to KPMG the EU average is lower than the current US corporate tax rate. Furthermore, setting it at 37% is 3% lower than the US tax rate wa

Yeah, thats not true. The chart you link to says new first officers based in Dublin make 78.400 EUR (with "Productivity" which might not be guaranteed). And since Stansted Captain salary is lower, i would suggest that Stansted FO

I think that has a lot more to do with YouTube having an a very optimized video player, and using ABR streams. That works fine over WiFi in general. If you are doing MP4 pseudo-streaming, thats really a completely different beast. You don&#

Interesting, i've had the exact opposite feeling with XAML. I've written a bunch of Silverlight and WPF, and always felt it to be probably the best UI framework i have worked with. Certainly beats all the web frameworks, and imho

Of course you gain security, but not in the HTTPS PKI sense. Not that long ago, somebody BGP hijacked Route 53 in order to serve up different IP's for specific domains. Had that domain been using DNSSEC, that attack would have failed f

I've had the opposite experience with them. Things not working correctly, and a beyond useless support, who can only be contacted by email and often takes 24-48 hours to respond to even simply queries. I would stay away from them.

For broadcasts in Denmark, the rule is that ads cannot interrupt a program. It has to be before/after programs. Some channels get around that by broadcasting from other countries to Denmark though.

It is serverless in the sense that the dev (or sysadm) doesn't have to worry about the server. You can't touch anything that affects the OS in any way, you only really give it your code and binaries to run. In ways it's simil

I wish that was the case. TDC (the largest danish telco) actually sold information about mobile users, including roaming users to VisitAarhus. Specifically, it was data about the locations of mobile users. Danish article on the subject: ht

In that case, aren't you arguing that quotas shouldn't be placed on email at all? It's not like they instantly block receipt of mail if you go over the quota, you have time to fix it, which is much better than many mail servi

His name was Ingvar Kamprad (the letters IK in IKEA is from his name). The E and A comes from Elmtaryd and Agunnaryd, respectively the farm where he grow up, and his home town. And it was indeed Ingvar that was the brains behind it back in

I think there is a difference. Not so much because of political correctness, but because it is an inherently political joke. Secondly, the joke is extremely US centric, and might make no sense to somebody now familiar on the US stance on ab

I don't think the parent is claiming its a holy thing. But I certainly feel the same way. My reputation is worth more to me, than trying to get higher up in a queue to a product i haven't tried. I don't share things with peop

Yes, generally it should less than double the size. How much less depends a lot on your content. If its a talking head, it should be very efficient, if its action movie content, maybe less efficient. I haven't found a good rule of thum

It is worth noting that on their website, their management team doesn't include a CTO, even though their main product is basically a software solution. They have a few sales people represented though, so management might not be great t

Yeah, XML GUI is nothing new. But there are huge differences in usability. Having worked with at least a few of those, i got to hand it to Microsoft. Working with XAML is a pleasure compared to any other UI framework i have had to work with

Apple is problematic for other reasons too. Try creating a movie rental service on the iOS platform. Apple wants 30%, killing all possibilities of competitors. Same thing for ebook stores etc.

Yeah, there are an annual registration fee as well. Spread over to payments a year. It isn't much though, and it depends on how environmentally friendly your car is. I think the lowest rate is approx 200 USD pr. year.

You can actually sort of do what you are asking. It was common before official support for languages to use node, and simply call out to a binary compiled for Amazon Linux. That does work. However, the support means that the Lambda system c

More likely it is a competitor to Azure Media Services, as they had a lot of the same type of services already. This is really AWS catching up.

Elastic Transcoder lacked a lot in support of a bunch of codecs and output formats, especially broadcast and movie formats where unsupported. With MediaConvert they are likely using the conversion engine they got when they acquired Elementa

But that is completely negating that the media markets in EU and the US are completely different. For instance, a number of european countries have a strong public broadcaster to provide a neutral source of news. PBS or NPR aren't real

Do you have a source for it being "cracked"? Circumvented sure, but the actual cryptography components haven't been cracked as far as I am aware.

There will be absolutely no change. All major browsers already implement EME (this includes Edge, IE, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera and a bunch of minor ones). I personally think it is a step forward, as it is much better than Silverlight.

And perhaps that viewpoint has skewed your outlook somewhat. I haven't seen anything close to that nightmare scenario in Denmark, and indeed the rest of Scandinavia. What comes closest is taxing unhealthy food, which i tend to agree wi
