It was never free or instant. It only works from 9-15 on workdays and not on weekends. Also if there are holidays in eu also doesn't work for domestic transfers. Easter is fun whe it stops for 4 days even though country has only 3 state holidays during those times. Costs from 25-40 cents per domestic transaction or 7-17 euro per over border one. Depending on the bank.

It takes around an hour or some days over border for transfer to go through.

Maybe you think of sepa instant which is supported by some banks. Very new. Mostly used for people to people transfers. Some shops are starting to support it. It is actually instantaneous anc works weekends. It seems to be mostly free.

>What’s the key to enter the euro symbol? That means you can’t use it in a text editor?

Alt gr+E? Like it's shown on the keyboard.

If it is just haptic it's OK but the talk was at least in media that it would be an actual speed limit which in current implementation is idiotic.

We have a new car which can read speed signs. In theory good idea. But tech isn't where it should be. For example when you drive on highway 100 km/h with 130 km/h speed limit and the car is warning you that you are speeding because it saw speed sign for 40 km/h on exit ramp it's a little worrying if car would actually obey speed limit. Breaking from 100 to 40 for no reason by car itself would not be good.

And there are also speed signs for only some vehicles which I don't think any car can read and for example Austrian signs (30 km/h limit and then subtext "valid only for side roads"). And another thing speed signs says limit is 50 km/h. It is valid up to next intersection. Intersection that invalidates speed limit is defined as intersection with more then 4 housing units. It's sometimes hard for human to know if intersection invalidates speed limit or not. How would a car know?

Site looks broken, because CSS is loaded over HTTP which is disabled if site is loaded over HTTPS.

There are benchmarks on on VPSbenchmarks: http://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/posts/amazon_lightsail_1gb_is_n...

I'm not sure how reliable they are but if they are this doesn't seem good for AWS:

  >TLDR: Amazon Lightsail 1GB will melt down with less than 15% sustained cpu usage
  >
  >Okay then, experiment aborted. 25% sustained cpu usage is too much, all other VPS at the same price can handle that but maybe we're just over the limit, we moved traffic to another machine and let the Lightsail VM cool down for a few hours.
  >It should be noted that for $7, Vpsdime easily handles that traffic.
  >For less than $4, OVH "VPS SSD 1" can do the same.

According to VPSBenchmarks Lightsail isn't comparable to other VPSes: http://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/posts/amazon_lightsail_1gb_is_n...

  >TLDR: Amazon Lightsail 1GB will melt down with less than 15% sustained cpu usage
And also in DO I can be sure that I won't pay more then 5$ per month. Even if I'm DDOSed. Since network is essentially unlimited (There are currently no network overcharges since metering doesn't work yet). In the future I assume that they would remove my site If I get DDOSed instead of sending me bill I can't pay.

But AWS: If you get DDOSed you just pay a large bill. Which can of course get nulled if Amazon feels like it but still.
