What did the Panama Papers really unearth? Has there been _any_ effect? Who are the UBOs of these Luxemburg entities? Happy activist investors? Or wealthy family funds who funnel the money to CH and the Caribbean? A leaking bucket. The rule

10 years ago, the bond spreads of sovereign bonds would have reflected this accurately, where Greece would have a higher YTM than Germany. The idea of the euro is convenient, but since the crisis of 2007-2009 + various (Greek) scares, it&#x

It's weird that the EU has a monetary union, but so much difference in corporate income tax rates. Great that IE is 12%, but this "competition" is BS in the sense that they needed the higher-tax countries to bail them out jus

That's not was I meant to imply. What I meant was that consumers are more and more conscious of what exactly they are eating and drinking. Indeed, there are no ingredients listed on wine either. It's not 100% grape juice. Various

My dad was first concertmaster of the VSO, and my wife is a pianist. What's interesting is to look at the parallels between auditioning for a position in a prime orchestra and "auditioning" for the position of software engine

I think that ephemeral WhatsApp groups add a lot of value here. <plug> And if you'd like persistent, private photo/video sharing, a site like www.famipix.com fits the bill.</end plug)

Mercedes has used thermal imaging commercially for years: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d03SuJ0TVcY I would be very surprised if there is no thermal imaging in autonomous vehicles.

Thanks. I'm 40 years old and have been coding since 1996. And trust me that policy makers who would enable this are not your average HN crowd. On the contrary, convoluted solutions rarely evolve past academia, and a lot of the self-dri

This is all nice and well, but sharing albums on Google is naive. You get a "hidden link" to an album that you can then share with people. Back in 2005, I set up Famipix (www.famipix.com) to share my own private family photos. And
