  1. Re:Does Uber need executives in France? on Uber France Leaders Arrested For Running Illegal Taxi Company · · Score: 1

    This valuation relies on active users of Uber (far less than a lot of companies in the valley), and the amount of money made on each active user (far more than most of companies in the valley). Also, Taxis lobbies are better at getting introduced to politicians (case of the Paris monopoly taxi: the guy is the son of a former French President friend... that sounds a lot like 3rd world corruption). The French monopoly on taxi in Paris is really ridiculous and killing the business.

    So, the insurance don't want to work with Uber drivers? That would be a terrible, terrible mistake, seeing the ambition of Uber's executives, in a company valued $50 billions, they could just start a business in the car insurance and get more profit.

  3. Re:Tor seismic analysis? on Tor Project Mulls How Feds Took Down Hidden Websites · · Score: 1

    Exit nodes? On internal onion addresses? I'm not sure it's the kind of attack here. Maybe they can inject massive amount of data during inactive hours, and inspect backbones / big data centre traffic (and not "exit nodes") accordingly... But that'd be a long shot IMHO.

  4. Re:Keep dreaming on New French Law Prohibits After-Hours Work Emails · · Score: 1

    Additionaly, if you stop reading your messages after 6pm, according to what is described in the document (page 4 / 4.8.1), it means you can legally go back reading your mails at 5am. This rule of 11h of connection-free-time is stupid, but not as bad as presented by the up-worthy news headlines ("You won't believe how much free time have French managers!" ;-) ). There is another rule of 35h free-time for the week end, meaning that we shouldn't read email/text the whole Saturday + 11hours around that day. (let's call that, The Hangover Agreement).

    "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear... And when it is gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear is gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."

    Hard work never kills anyone ... who's supervising.

  14. Re:neural nets != genetic algorithms on When Robots Play Games · · Score: 2, Informative

    Absolutly right, according to the article on the Evolution Train Robot Teams it is the combination of both method : "After several hundred generations, the neural networks had evolved well enough to play the game competently and were transferred into real robots for testing in a real environment."
