<p>What do you wanna good proof of?
Life expectancy? What population health metrics do you want?<p>Almost all EU countries with socialized healthcare beat US and even UK. Canada is more near EU level.<p>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?<p>Life Expectancy:<p>Italy 83.7;
Spain 83.7;
France 83.3;
Sweden 83.3;
Canada 82.6;
Portugal 82.4;

<p>I don't understand how this avoids any simple attack both for audio or video:<p>- Alter/manipulate the audio/video has much as you want.<p>- Play it.<p>- Have a "attested" microphone/video recording the "manipulated audio/video".<p>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...</p>

<p>It’s not even close to Netflix . You paid a 5$ monthly FIXED fee and can watch everything.<p>Loot boxes on Netflix would be, you have no movies when you start:<p>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).<p>Ah, and maybe because it’s premium show, there is only 0.5% chance of getting it in every “loot box”.<p>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!</p>

<p>Except even if you receive money for a referral, you are still not getting any money FROM the referral.<p>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.<p>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)<p>A normal company 100% of the salaries comes from sales (or shareholders, never from employees).</p>

<p>If you can’t know the price, you don’t display a wrong price, simple.
You either geo-locate, or maybe put the minimum E911?<p>In EU these kind of sheenings never happen.<p>Airplane sites tried with payment fees, adding 40/50€ for ALL providers. EU changed the law that the price has to include the fee for at least 1 payment…
So if the cheapest is paypal at 30€, they have to add 30€ to the price.</p>

<p>Don’t you have to set the dates anyway?
If you search for 1 night you get 140$ price.
For 2 nights, 240$, 120$ per night. Etc…
There is usually A/B testing of total vs. per night.<p>But the most important thing:
Price on the first page you see is the same that gonna be charged.<p>Same thing for flight bookings, what you see on the search is what you pay!<p>What inovative concept by the EU!</p>

<p>Not sure how “completed” it is, but it already produced Model Y, right?<p>Compare that with VW, how many electric cars they are making, and how long did the biggest auto-manufacter in Germany (not a bad country for Engineering standards) took to get factories ready for EVs?</p>

<p>Not sure about engineering.
But they build a electric-car factory from scratch in Berlin in 2 years during the pandemic.
Check how many years other companies take to build ICE or  electric car factories…</p>
