No, Ireland is not swimming in money. All they did is they artificially raised their GDP per capita to ridiculous number of $120k, but the tax rate on all that revenue is like 0.001%, so average Irishman is no better off from it.

Poland's economy is booming, but the Polish stock market is not. I mean, it peaked in 2007/2008, and hasn't been able to beat that All Time High since. https://stooq.com/q/?s=wig20&c=20y&t=l&a

But the UBI works completely different at small and large scales. When you test it at small scale it seems to be working exactly as expected. But when you try to introduce it globally (I mean, for the whole country), then it suddenly starts

But they are not giving it to everyone, just to homeless people. That does not warrant the "Universal" part of the name. EDIT: I think I misread the whole thing, it really does not say "Universal" anywhere :) Anyway, I t

That would actually require demolishing them and building residential buildings from scratch. Most office spaces are not designed to be inhabitable 24/7, they would suck as apartments.

So it seems that Buffet, ironically, does not follow his own advice of simply buying an ETF and holding it. Also, I know some "celebrity traders" in Poland who advertise their IKE (think of it like a Polish version of Roth IRA acc

No, this money wasn't leaving the country. Suppose some item from China costs $100. Now EU will add, say, $15 tax to it, for the total price of $115. So, $100 is going to China, as previously, and $15 tax paid by EU citizens is redis

Or the “green alternatives” will become more expensive, because why the hell not? If your competitors just raised prices it makes it easier for you to do the same, without consequences.

So they will be taking money from citizens in form of taxes so they can give it back to those same citizens? Seems like a lot of time-wasting bureaucracy.

Ok, so it is a clear sign that CD Projekt is going under. You cannot have a labor union and still be a successful company. Unions are cancer. More to the point: IT job market in Poland is based on freelance (B2B) contracts. The fact that CD

Is it just me, or the work logged by Carmack for a single day seems like a plan for a two week sprint in Scrum, or even a full (3-month) Program Increment in Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe)?

Why should they do that? They created the technology and they have every right to make money from it. It is not NVIDIA's fault that their competitors offerings are lame, and it's not their duty to give them a helping hand. EDIT: A

Interesting conclusion here is that the best way to put scammers out of business is to actually reply to those spam emails, engage in the conversation with them, the longer the better. I wonder if Google could add a Bard chatbot to Gmail fo

The common practice is that you butcher bulls at young age, but you keep cows for milk - you actually make much more money on milk than on meat. With chickens it's even worse: males are killed immediately after hatching, because their

Desk-sharing offices still have 2 monitors and keyboard on each desk, you just get to sit in a different spot every time. At least that's how my company does it. (To be fair: my company allows us to work from home full time, hot-desks

In 1980s in a communist country my dad was a truck driver. His (state-owned) company built a whole apartment building for their employees. This is where I lived for first few years of my life.

That is weird. The way it is supposed to work (in my country at least) is: If a company is registered for VAT they will charge you X net price + Y amount of VAT for their items. If a buyer is also a VAT-registered company they subtract Y fr

I think lectures as a form of teaching were invented in the middle ages, before the printing press was available. The whole university might have owned only one copy of each book, so learning by reading it wasn't an option for most stu

For Catholicism it wasn't a "dress up" - it was the official religion of Rome in the last couple centuries, and the Catholic Church was the only main institution of (Western) Roman Empire surviving its fall.

They were right. This tweet is from a guy who deliberately tried to push the limit. I doubt the same thing will ever happen to a normal user.

Back to "origins of intelligence", I'm not sure what's the cause and what is the effect here. The reason why humans are different from other animals is that our intelligence makes us adaptable. Take a lion, or a spider,
