What planet are we living on? 600 a week is 2400 a month, which way over any entry level salary in Europe. How inflated are the salaries in US? Or are people used to some really abnormal level of living?

Its definitely partially a tit for tat bargaining thing. Just like the EU was recently looking at doing an ESTA-lite for US

The whole backwards part about this is that the Schengen travel restrictions are still in place. So somebody who has visited a Schengen country even with under 10 covid cases a week (like most Nordics) can't travel directly to the US.

I think you're underestimating the international potential of Netflix. The only place where they are facing any competition is the US. Even there the content produced by their competitors is getting bought by Netflix later down the lin

You really need to implement some 2nd level thinking. It seems to me that you're just taking the logical argument of better safety net --> lower overall risk --> better performance. In reality the flow I've seen throughout t

Is the debate about "D-wave isn't quantum computing its quantum annealing" still relevant? I did a research project on the competitive landscape on QC few years ago and at least then it was a huge topic. What are your thought

I don't understand this point. Do you think anyone at any life situation should have equal opportunity of becoming a successful entrepreneur? You do realize that by having a family and owning a house, you're pretty much on a compl

I don't know think this is as clear. Can you link me to some researcher where a stronger social net leads to better entrepreneur outcomes? Because looking at country level data, USA, with it's terribly scary and risky path of entr

Well I think you both need to take a step back and be more objective. How would treat such an occurrence of it was your product? Surely they would look at the data and supposedly, it could be that 90% times it actually is a great predictor

As far as I understand, this kind of thinking is especially visual with Diabetes. People have different levels of insulin sensitivity, which changes over time with thing such as diet and excercise. Then magically one day you cross some arbi

It gets even worse when you talk about reverse mergers. For example the way some chinese companies have become listed in the US is just buying out a penny stock company and listing through that.

They're not perfect for everyone. It's usually a huge blackbox for advertisers who don't know what they are getting until they've dipped 50-100k into it and tracked the resulting conversions later in the funnel.

When is the last time you checked your numbers? Happiest countries don't have the highest suicide rate. Nordic countries do have a significant portion of population living in areas where SAD is prevalent, which naturally causes increas

I flagged this because the title is clickbait, and not news whicj in my opinion goes against the spirit of hacker news. If this would be just a direct link to tencent investing in Reddit, or how Reddit has not taken any strong stance agains

Interesting to hear. This is something similar I do with some betting/stock buying I do. But the odds are on a completely different level of impossibility in lottery that I just cant really get your end of the argument :/

But in the best case you might be far better with this option.
