According to [1], what happened was that volunteers were recognised as workers by ECJ and as such their time on call at home can count towards their weekly worked time. An older directive (2003) sets out a maximum working time which I am su

The OP said that Apple doesn't have to support older devices because they are antiquated as far as performance goes. So I gave an example where software was supported for far longer during bigger increases in performance. You are sayin

Microsoft supported Windows XP for 12 years, Windows 7 for 10 years (+4 years if you are willing to pay for extended support). During the lifespan of XP the Moore's law was very much working.

EMH says that prices reflect information, if anything it's a statement about the mean/expected return. What you are probably referring to is CAPM which has this baked in as an assumption on people's preferences.

VAT is a tax on consumption, corporate taxes are on profits (revenues in this case). If Amazon does not have to pay as high corporate taxes due to transfer pricing, then it can offer a lower net (pre-VAT) price so their products end up bein

About Gadfly. If you were plotting it in a notebook then the default is to make it an interactive figure. In that case a lot of overhead comes from the browser trying to render it. You can explicitly invoke e.g., draw(SVG(10cm,10cm), plot(.

Just because the seller is responsible for transferring the tax revenue to the tax office does not mean that the seller is the one paying it.

What competitors will Amazon have in France if all the local competitors cannot escape paying local corporate taxes and Amazons of the word just throw a few millions at lawyers to shop around for the most convenient tax haven.

Thanks for that! I was not aware of this. SsfPack will still be faster though and be less memory hungry than Python. On the brief look I had, it also seems that the nonlinear/non-Gaussian simulation methods are not implemented.

SsfPack [1] is a great implementation if you are willing to suffer through Ox. [1] http://www.ssfpack.com/

It is actually not. I've been labelled anything between 22 and 65. It is not only wrong, but also not accurate about it (large variance).

And it applies to people who are in the EU. So all these people have to do to get their data is to book a plane ticket into any EU country.

First thing I thought is now people are going to be looking for people having sex in the windows. I guess my expectations were too low.

I might have been unlucky then, but the one machine I was in contact with before I ceded all responsibility on my host was Japanese only.

I have not said that it is not worth it. But it really depends on the business and the arrangement. Some banks charge you a fixed minimum rate making small purchases relatively more expensive for the seller.

Cash is not one of those things though. Nor is the system of buying metro tickets with cash only and without an option to change language.

Most of the terminals I see are NFC ready, but NFC payments are not enabled. In particular, ICA has Yomani terminals and does not accept cards not issued by them. In other countries NFC has been introduced years ago. In the Netherlands, mos

The article makes Sweden into something it is not. First, Swedes are not as eager to adapt new technologies as it may seem from the text. Case in point, NFC is just arriving in the country and in one of the main grocery shops, that has its

People in the Nordic countries have a different expectation of privacy. Just search for the plethora of papers in economics and finance that use "Swedish/Danish/Finnish data". While anonymized, you can get a look at spen

I found it hard to figure out where this could fit in my job as a researcher. I mean even a potential use case. I was ready to give up, but since you are EU based I'll try harder now.
