What would that accomplish? The possibility of a nuclear sneak attack were known to both sides.

No that's not how it works unfortunately. You are supposed to do overtime and answer emails on your weekends. Fuck that.

I know a Japanese expat who moved from America to Europe because he didn't want to work himself to death. There is more to life than career and money. Sure he earns less now but he actually has the opportunity to spend it!

Because Western food culture is based on meat. Japan has always been a densely populated mountainous island incapable of large scale livestock production untill very recently. Meat was a luxury. So they turned to fish and rice.

Yes but Uber is a Trojan horse for importing American style capitalism. The tide is slowly turning for neoliberalism.

Ofcourse not. Russia is becoming a pariah state like North Korea and Iran: earn enough money to prop up the regime and fund the war but no more state pensions for the elderly or medicine for the sick. The sanctions isolate Russia and make i

In my country they have rules that (fast food) restaurants have to keep the side walk clean from trash.

Yes cities have adequate public transportation, side-walks and bike lanes. In fact owning a car may be inconvenient considering the cost of parking!

I call them living buildings. Over the centuries they are remodeled and adapted countless times. Here's a famous example from my country https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binnenhof

And yet that never seems to happen when another Hollywood couple shows up. How much time and money was wasted on Johnny Depp?

When you're poor you have the choice between an AI that may work or you'll be defending yourself. Access to legal assistance is almost as unobtainable as a dentist these days.

I also think people underestimate what a CEO does. On HN coding is more respected than social skills. A software engineer is likely to crumble in 30 seconds when they are interviewed on CNBC.

The route to profitability doesn't exist and investors are starting to notice.

Do people on HN not read history books? This has happened countless times before. Or was it assumed that those in the tech industry were a "protected" class of people for whom the rules do not apply? Hell one of the best things ab

Once you start reading about history you will laugh at the challenges of today. Like it literally couldn't get worse for the Netherlands than 1672 and we got through that (in fact look at the mighty France and England today who's

Americans hatred for their own government is legendary and somewhat bizarre. It reminds me of the famous clip in Monthy Python: "what have the Romans ever done for us".

Congres is incapable of doing it's job so the Supreme Court has to do it. I have read about America in the 1850s and there are some unsettling parallels.

People always get upset over headlines. Maybe we should end headlines so people have to resort to reading the articles? But then we live in a society that birthed Twitter.

There are laws that prohibit companies from filming and posting it online. You can sue them for millions of dollars. Private persons can leak all this stuff anonymously and nobody is going to track them down. Glasshole also represented a ne

That sounds like 4chan. And it doesn't work because you can't monetize it. Browse to 4chan and turn off your ad blockers if you want to understand.

Yep the Dutch prime minister was recently in Washington to discuss this too. Biden wants ASML to stop selling machines to China. "You are either with us or you are with the terrorists"

The only reason why TSMC is expanding outside Taiwan is because protectionism is back. Americans don't want to admit it though. Hilariously it will make Taiwan more vulnerable because it makes defending the island less necessary. Durin

Fascinating how Deng Xiaoping had the exact same epiphany visiting Singapore.

This story is exactly how Europeans felt in the 1950s. Our supermarkets come from the US. It saddens me that the leftist clowns of today have forgotten the importance of material wealth.

In the Netherlands they are going to build two new nuclear power plants but the company wants assurance that they don't have to compete with the massive wind mill parks on the North Sea. Not really a new problem for the Netherlands whe

Exodus because at the end of the day they are all greedy motherfuckers who hate paying taxes and love the deregulation of Texas. Where you can still pollute and exploit and call it entrepreneurship. California is actually trying to enact la

Live and let live sounds great if you're the child of petty bourgeoisie parents. Meanwhile the millions in poverty don't have access to the "live" part. The only answer to the neoliberalism of the last 40 years is a cour

If you follow that to its logical conclusion the police would never show up in certain areas of the city. Personally I don't want my country to turn into Sao Paulo or Mexico City. Hell why not a subscription plan for the police? 911 pl

I want to make one thing clear: the US is paradise for immigrants. You would not believe the pure economic calculations and soullessness that my northern European country visits upon refugees and migrants. The State is an all powerful and a
