It's mostly the PR department of universities that boast about those big discoveries. Researchers themselves usually try to add some nuance to it.

There were similar issues with Bunq in The Netherlands. You (or a scammer) could turn a savings account into a checking account pretty much immediately with one code, and then drain it in the matter of minutes. Lot of people lost their life savings over it and of course no one you could reach out to to rectify the situation. All other Dutch banks have waiting periods for this. E.g. ING has a four hour waiting period to increase your transaction limit, just so it buys time when potential scams are happening.

Of course it's easy to blame the user for this as they provide codes and stuff, but when one bank has this issue so much more than it should have given its amount of customers, something else is going on.

SEPA is well established all across the eurozone though, even in countries with considerable legacy infrastructure.

You mean like GDPR?

The really interesting part of this study (besides the obvious self-experimentation) is that she underwent subtype conversion from TN to HER2+ tumor and thus could use Trastuzumab.

Zero.

Same here, as employee at a Dutch semi-government institution. €50 is the max we're allowed to take with manager approval.

When there’s a load imbalance on the grid (more load than capacity), the turbines physically slow down as inertial energy is extracted from them. This causes the grid frequency to drop. It takes some time to ramp up production and speed up the turbine etc.

Some of the big tech mentioned are fined a lot heavier than others on some of those regulations. For example, Apple has barely received anything under the GDPR. Why? They don't collect unnecessary user data with shady "consent". Microsoft also doesn't seem to be struggling too much with the DMA or DSA, just the usual anti-trust stuff they always seem to get themselves in. But their gatekeeper obligations don't seem to be a problem whatsoever.

The EU has been clear for years they're fed up with the behavior of big tech with some of those things. If you don't want to listen, you have to feel the consequences. Easy as that.

Same with Dutch, Google Translate quality if not worse.

All major US airlines have put in a total ground stop. No flights can take off anymore.

At my faculty, we always "joked" that the acknowledgements were the most read section of any thesis. First thing everyone did when they got handed a new thesis was looking to see who was mentioned in the acknowledgements.

(we joked about it, but there's a grain of truth to it. the chapters themselves were usually published long ago already and only people in your specific field would care about them anyways).

Can you name an example of someone being shut down cus of that in Germany (or anywhere else in the EU really)? I honestly can't think of a single regulation that would apply in the EU and not apply in the US for some reason or another for this use case.

What does the author mean here when referring to customs when shipping products from within the EU to other EU countries? The EU has a customs union...

The VAT per country can be a bit of a pain but is a solved problem (Shopify, Amazon, can all take care of it easily).

Might be a pain. If they have any EU presence, it'd be easier.

Four first author publications, yes. University guidelines say three, but in practice they'd like to see four or five to get it approved.

When I started my PhD, they were clear: four publications is a degree. That's the goal. Understanding is a bonus but doesn't get the title!

JPEG 2000 is completely wavelet based, no DCT either, and it’s been around for a while. It’s used a bit in medical imaging where ringing artifacts are a big no no.

My uncle ran a bike shop, the amount of bikes that came in with broken displays cus of water damage is high. Usually it’s warranty.

In my personal experience, Whatsapp's calling is subpar compared to Facetime audio, Skype or VoWIFI even. Higher latency, lower sound quality and very sensitive to spotty connections.

I think you’re misreading OP, as he says 380 packets per minute, not second. That would give you an overhead of 253 bytes per second, sounds a lot more reasonable.

Works the other way about piracy or drugs or anything.

But any tumor protocol does.

Gadolinium-based contrast (which you'll need for any scan worth their salt) is not completely risk free, so not entirely true. And claustrophobia is a bit more common than people think.

At certain power levels, reactive effects take over. Takes more energy to charge up the transmission lines 50 or 60 times a second, than it actually can transmit. Also, no skin effect.

Same with The Netherlands (not legally, but all schools have agreed to implement these rules).

It's mandatory if you've never been to the hospital/clinic before, it's for insurance purposes. See https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/onderwerpen/identificatieplicht...

Stuxnet?

No, (semi-)government only by law, plus health care providers.

In Europe, smartphones are a problem for kids too.
