I am not sure what is the effect of mandatory retirement. Maybe it is negligible and does not change much the unemployment rates. Even if we would forcedly retire everyone at 65yo in US, it might not change much how we compute the unemploy

Employers in most European countries have to pay for healthcare, pension, unemployment, taxes. In US some employers do also pay for those, but in Europe it can represent a much bigger part. When an American is paid 41% higher than Frenchme

As European, is strange to see how old the US airline flight attendants are on average. In Europe, those jobs are mostly filled by young people, here in US, it tends to be the opposite of the spectrum. It is an interesting question. Where

Correct, I just checked Netflix, and it is still the US Netflix, even when I hopped from a Paris AWS server. But all french TV website are working like if I was in France.

Weird... I did the test, and clearly I cannot watch shows on European TV website, and when I select one of my European server, then I can watch the shows. Something must be off with your setting.

Don't you have to pay for those VPN ? How do you pay them ?

by llsf 6y ago
All the traffic... but not all the time. At home, if I work, then I use the corporate VPN. Otherwise, no VPN, except when I need to appear like my traffic comes from another country. For instance, I just have (AWS) tiny server in Europe w

I do the same, but again using remote AWS (free) servers. Which is funny sometimes, I realize that some website are suddenly in german because I am using my Berlin server, instead of my US one.

If you VPN service, only provide VPN, then a (free tier) AWS server in a foreign country + wireguard would do the same. Sure, AWS could log the outbound traffic for that account, but AWS only has an email address from me, not a credit card

I also use my AWS free tier EC2 + wireguard for hopping over geo-fences. It is free, and my traffic is encrypted from my device to the remote EC2 server.

How? I mean how do you measure VPN services? I never understood why people working in tech would ever trust a VPN service? A VPN is seeing all your traffic, and you have to take their word that they do not log any of it? I use free tier AW

Is a typical thing (i.e. infrastructure) that the government (federal, state and local combined) should pay and maintain ? Clearly letting private companies doing it is not working in US. Dig once, lay enough municipal fiber, and rent it to

Particularly true in US. But less so in Europe. And worldwide, Amazon is not number one at all. 1. Taobao.com: 16% of worldwide e-commerce 2. Tmall.com: 13% 3. Amazon: 10% 4. JD.com: 8% (source: https://www.statist

IKEA might be into something here. Inner city retail has been dying slowly, never really recovered from 2008 crisis. There might be an opportunity here opening up. I would assume that commercial real estate is cheaper now (and might be ev

It might be pretty close to what Tesla is doing with its own marketing budget... beside, not open sourcing it or doing weekend races (although Nurburgring and other drag tests could count).

Seems like there are some money left on the table. Should someone build a small company to defend all those people solely based on some contingency fee (well a tiny percentage of what they owe or would pay if they lose). If I owe $5,000, a

I read that Wework had $4B in the bank at the beginning of the year. Also they are actively trying to reduce their own rent up to 30% from their landlords. And at the same time Wework gives up to 50% discount to its own large tenants, so

When I said that it is pretty good, I base it solely on the fact that my friend is still alive, even while driving 6hrs per commute mostly on autopilot. I will have to ask him how often he has to intervene (mostly highway). But I do know

My husband is an optometrist. There are lots of people who are driving with poor vision. We do not need (although it is obviously better) perfect vision to drive a vehicle. We can drive in fog or heavy rain, with limited vision. I am no

I have a friend, commuting 6hrs every day (3hrs + 3hrs back) in a Tesla model S, using autopilot (3 days a week). He has been doing it for almost a year now. So far, so good... given the number of miles driven, it is actually pretty good.

I have seen those underground trash containers in Marseille, France, which also has tiny (old) streets. I suspect that NYC could benefit from those underground trash containers, especially in the most popular places, including the park. Pi

Don't you think though that it would help you? I see this ML treatment of the images as a resolution improvement. It would help doctors to see better, maybe to not miss the detail that could be missed.
