Nope. That's an intra-EU thing and is very unlikely to change.

Their corporate headquarter is in Ireland. They pay payroll taxes, VAT etc. in each EU member state just like every business has to. They do not, however, have to pay taxes on their corporate earnings in EU countries other than Ireland. Tha

It's an important question, though. I see a lot of interest in MOOCs, the Udacity nanodegree etc. on the internet, but I can't see my employer/me hiring someone whose only qualifications are online courses. I know absolutely

TBH it seems more like academia is jumping onto the huge wave of hype that has been rolling these last few years. Lately we (a company working on automated driving amongst other things) have seen a lot of interest in internships, thesis top

Yes, we are using a fusion of different types of sensor input. I have to be careful to not divulge trade secrets, but I would also add that sensory input (deep learning based or otherwise) is only the very first step in a long and complex c

That's not a good argument. Shorting into a bubble is super dangerous, because while you can be highly certain that the bubble will pop, you can't predict how high it will go before it pops. The optimal way to trade a bubble is to

Not to pump bitcoin but to sell tethers. They sell tethers to people who want to trade the tether/bitcoin currency pair on their exchange. But there is no way to turn tethers back into fiat currency. So they are just keeping all of the

No honest forex trader would call his trading an investment, though. They/we know exactly that it's just gambling based on very limited data. Also, traders are extremely careful to limit their risk. No sane trader would hold bitco

With Ponzi schemes the situation is even wrose for the perpetrator: they are explicitely illegal and you can't get out of legal ramifications even if you are completely honest and upfront.

I suspect that Github repos, SO accounts, toy problems etc. are simple tools interviewers use to make some form of rigorous decision when the applicant's CV gives them little concrete evidence of skill. A couple of years of job experie

Olus the new dialogs are missing functionality and in some cases the functionality is greyed out for no discernible reason.

I suspect the real argument anti-welfare people want to make, but are too cowardly to state explicitely, is: "if the poor weren't forced to accept shitty jobs to survive, we would have to pay them fair wages and/or improve wo

The issue with this entire line of discussion is that growth in the number of p2p routes alone isn't what we should be looking at, but the market share of those routes compared to total numbers of passengers. When you look at the entir

One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that the 737 is slowly losing market share. Boeing had to lower the price significantly to generate sales, yet the 737's major draw for customers seems to be the sheer unavailability of A320

Reminds me of the old OPEC strategy of not making oil too expensive, lest they push industrial nations to develop alternatives.

The answers you have gotten so far are terrible. There is no discernible move to a "point to point" model in commercial aviation. That's a myth straight from Boeing's marketing department. Instead, the reason the 747 and

The Tesla 3s that are currently getting delivered to customers are up to $20k more expensive than the Bolt. That people see the two cars as more or less equivalent is a massive success for GM.

Yep and that's the same reason Matlab et.al. stay in their dominant positions. Sure, these tools can be a pain to work with and a lot of alternatives do a lot of things better, but most heavy users are happy doing the things they need

Essentially: 1) Stocks are super expensive, so future yields from stocks are expected to be low. (Since price increases will be low and dividend per invested dollar will be low.) 2) Bonds yields are super low, because interest rates are sup

There is also far less apetite for "tech unicorn" startups and IPOs on Wall Street now than a few years ago. The gold rush is over and now people are waking up to the fact that most of those super hyped companies will never turn i

Ah, so cost of living comparisons shouldn't use the same lifestyle in both places, got it.

Yeah, but there seems to be an endless supply of startup success story fan employees ready to be exploited.

Yes. Salaries in the SF bay area and NYC are ridiculous. Unfortunately cost of living expenses in those areas are ridiculous as well, which makes it far less worth it to move there for the average person than one would think.
