Generally the tourist taxes paid (if any) are considerably lower than the taxes a resident pays. Besides payments for city taxes which equal more or less what tourist taxes are (in NL), I also pay taxes (income, possessions/investments

Been to both countries a couple of times (I'm Dutch). Fingerprints got taken every time at the US, never happened to me at the UK border.

I was very surprised about a month ago about how incredible customer focused their policies are regarding to travel to a foreign country. Went to US with Vodafone and ramped up 1200€ data costs, sorry, podcast that automatically downloaded.

Yeah, I'd be curious to see how much Netflix's own usage affects this. I'll give it a shot Friday night!

That would be totally valid, except I get a perfectly fine and stable 500 down from, for example, Microsoft's MSDN, depending on the size of the ISO showing this straight for a couple of minutes..

Odd, on a dedicated 500 mbit line I've now gotten 6 different results, ranging from 350-500. Speedtest.net indicates a stable 500+ mbit line, downloads from very fast servers always max it out at 500 as well. Besides stabilizing it a b

Interesting idea. Found it useful and working so far? Care to share (part) of your structure? I've always found wiki's and the like extremely difficult to organize. Lots of knowledge and little things, but it always runs out of ha

Use it everyday, we host basically everything there. Have played decently with Amazon and my preference certainly is with Azure, but I'm quite biased (.NET developer). The ease of certain things (the integration with Visual Studio for

It could be that, but it could also be because we're marrying so much less [1] which changes the landscape (who marries for what reasons). I'd say that 1000 marriages 20 years ago aren't all that comparable to a 1000 marriage

I never got why people read and get this 'owner of the company makes all the money' narrative from the book. She is obviously glorifying these man, making them the 'hero', but don't we do exactly the same in every o

I found your description here a bit more difficult to understand than the description on the website. I like the concept, as in having revenue streams that can be shared with the people building the product. You thought about things like ho

Something like that certainly plays it's role. I'm doing that as well for certain inputs and experience no lag at all, so it depends more on their implementation of the store. I think their search store is probably doing a lot mor

Just tested it and didn't find it super bad, but I am honestly (negatively) surprised. It does indeed lag quite a bit and feels very unnatural. Chrome here as well. I use React quite a bit myself and haven't experienced this in my

I think the flow you write should always be the way you work with code. First make sure it works, then look how to improve it, what parts are expressing similar behavior, what parts are different etc. If I remember correctly this is also wh

Very interesting concept. I was surprised that most of the open jobs are not remote, I expected the company to be very open about this and possibly even promoting/preferring this, sort of eating your own dog food.

Thanks a lot, that was very insightful and exactly the kind of insight I was looking for. I think for me as an outsider it's really easy to fall for that trap, where certainly point 3 in his article was a realization that I would look

You're absolutely right if my goal was to get people to post these papers, which reading back can easily be how it is interpreted. My point was more that, as a 'consumer' of this product without any background knowledge, thei

Interesting, I'd be curious to some speed tests. I was seeding to around 22 peers for a while but did not get over 5Mbps up, while my internet connection is capable of around 530Mbps. Wondering if this was an inherent WebTorrent proble

You have no way of trusting any other company that releases closed systems either. Like iOS, or manufacturers Androids. You have to trust some institution at some point.

The issues it raises are just as valid for any business anywhere. If you're an American business and I sign up for your website, you apparently have to comply with these laws as well, as far as I understand it.

I've been an avid user of Trello. Easy to use, very simple for any external stake holders to get into (and nice permissions) while being super simple to use. They've got a great amount of 'example' boards as well: https
