What do you wanna good proof of? Life expectancy? What population health metrics do you want?

Almost all EU countries with socialized healthcare beat US and even UK. Canada is more near EU level.

Do you also want US anedoctal evidence? What’s the consultation time for diagnose in the US for people without insurance/ insurance doesn’t cover/insurance says it doesn’t cover/no money?? Never? How does that affect the average/mean?

Life Expectancy:

Italy 83.7; Spain 83.7; France 83.3; Sweden 83.3; Canada 82.6; Portugal 82.4; Germany 81.4; United Kingdom 81.3; United States 79.3; Poland 78.6;

Yup, lots of cases where the owners stopped paying/turned-off water, gas, electricity and the court made them turned them back on (and pay all the bills).

Not in Germany, where you are responsible for the Wifi access, see hundreds of copyrights fines each year...

Anyway, it puts the persons living in that location on the radar of the police, and other evidence can be collected (For example by getting a warrant and taking all electronics out of the "location").


Apparently in Germany you can do public wifi now, but you have to register as a telecommunications provider, and comply with all law enforcement requests to wiretap your wifi.


On most countries in Europe either Good Friday and/or Easter Monday are Holidays…

Then you have Ash wednesday and some other holidays around Lent (6 weeks before Easter)…


Airbus made the "neo" versions more fuel efficient and without any security issues. That's why Boeing had to rush the MAX...


I live in Dusseldorf and never noticed any crime at all, tell me 1 park I cannot go after dawn?


I don't understand how this avoids any simple attack both for audio or video:

- Alter/manipulate the audio/video has much as you want.

- Play it.

- Have a "attested" microphone/video recording the "manipulated audio/video".

For video maybe you can actually try to prove that's recording a screen not the real event, but seems much harder for audio, you can just say the echos/ distortions came from the environment...


It doesn't. It's called the "analog hole" and has caused much head shaking with regards to the media cartels' attempts at digital restrictions management on the output side.

Trying to secure that regime on the input side would seem to be even more fraught with problems. At least using the analog hole for the output side causes quality degradation from reencoding the content (the most common goal is digital redistribution). Whereas on the input side, the content begins in the digital domain so it's not even adding an extra analog step.


I think in this case the point would be to trust the source publishing the audio and not content.

I cam see a gpg like registry where news stations publish their public keys to verify that their audio / video snippets have not been tampered with.


Yeah, this is my understanding also. I don't understand how this is better than the publisher signing the content with their own key though, rather than relying on a special microphone.

I wish the article was more clear on what threat model they're trying to address.


It’s not even close to Netflix . You paid a 5$ monthly FIXED fee and can watch everything.

Loot boxes on Netflix would be, you have no movies when you start:

You pay 2$ to add Random 3 movies to your library. Wanna watch Breaking Bad? Pay 2$ until you get “lucky” (and maybe get only Season 3).

Ah, and maybe because it’s premium show, there is only 0.5% chance of getting it in every “loot box”.

So you might spend thousands of dollars, and not get what you want… Because usually there is not even a way to spend 10$ to buy it like a movie on Aplle/Amazon, you have to gamble!


The company was founded in 1959 and its pretty famous for they bomber-jackets. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Industries

Either the designer in the movie didnt remember he “copied” it, or didn’t care…


Except even if you receive money for a referral, you are still not getting any money FROM the referral.

My company gives 5k if I reference a developer that they hire. But he gets his normal salary, it’s not like he has to pay 5k, or even it’s deducted from the salary.

The problem with MLMs is that the money comes from other “members” not from sales… (Basically more than 80% of the revenue is other members and only 20% sales)

A normal company 100% of the salaries comes from sales (or shareholders, never from employees).
