It’s interesting how this differs so much! I think I’ve never been on a work-related Zoom call, and only extremely rarely something like webex. Almost always Teams.

Perhaps I'm misremembering, but wasn't there actually quite significant backlash towards their security flaws in the early days, causing them to rectify the problems?

Does any airline on the planet accept a quick test done at home without so,e sort of validation? Highly doubtful.

They’re covered by insurance…try being a visitor to the US then an antigen test will cost you $150+.

Please don’t post like this on HN…you’re just assuming bad faith and you’re spamming this comment or a variation repeatedly.

That's an absurd hypothetical. A human being isn't an object...do you also mirror their consciousness?

The creator of the lossless one can also just decide to distribute that lossless version after selling an NFT of it. Doesn't that defeat the point of only the NFT owner having control of it?

> Yes, you can screenshot the Mona Lisa or print out a signed Mickey Mantle rookie card, but it's not the same thing is it? Obviously not, because those are tangible things. That’s not a valid comparison.

> one of those things that are part truth, part myth Yeah perhaps true. But then I’d say that it’s essentially a meaningless conclusion to hold as some universal truth.

No, it really isn’t. Everyone has taxes and paperwork, some easier than others. Not everyone has the same restrictions on normal financial activities.

None of this impacts a foreign employer’s employment of an American.

It’s a lot more than complicated taxes and paperwork. If you are a “US Person” you may find it impossible to invest, or deal with certain financial institutions and products at all. I live in the Netherlands. I will face restrictions with m

> 8% vacation money = 13th month No, quite often it’s both. The holiday allowance is by law but an additional 13th month is also often paid out. Depends on the company.

I’ve heard of that happening in Netherlands too, where it doesn’t make much sense for one spouse to keep working due to the cost of child care. That’s not universally cheap in Europe.

And some understate just how fragile the “well taken care of” employee’s circumstances are in the US. All those great perks (and they quite often are) tied to your employment, which can be easily and readily lost in America. I’m glad that t

I doubt they’re in the UK…they mentioned euros and not pounds. Perhaps it is renter’s insurance? For me in the Netherlands that’s only €12 or something per month.
