Being surrounded by Christian conservative Trump voters is not how everyone wants to live their life. HN probably consists of a lot of people who are perfectly content spending their entire life looking at a screen perfectly oblivious of wh

This is an interesting point. In the 1980s Amsterdam was dirt poor but it was never empty. In fact it attracted all kinds of people who wanted to live an "alternative" lifestyle in cheap real estate. Communists, artists, gay peopl

I read an interesting newspaper article about how the police confiscated a hired gun's iPhone and found that he ran a search on the city his victim lived in. It is these little digital breadcrumbs that makes life easy for the prosecuti

As they say in the Netherlands: Sunday is my fun day. Something astonishing happened in 1994: the first time a government coalition was installed that excluded any Christian party. Capitalism prevailed.

36 hours is the standard in my country- it's called progress. A century ago it was probably 80 hours for everyone over 12 lol.

The Netherlands was rather unique back then for not having any starvation or food riots. Lots of dairy products and fish.

Actually I'm terrified that they believe it. That they have Jordan Peterson's book on their night table.

Man I'm old. I've been using Windows since 98. I can't stand it when MS designers change shit. Luckily I'm not the only one and there are many tools to pretty much keep Windows stuck in time.

In the Netherlands people who travel to non Western countries can get their vaccinations. There's an old Dutch fort in Ghana with a graveyard. Prior to modern medicine white people dropped like flies in Africa.

Well there is only so much you can do with Word and Outlook. Let's be real the difference between Office 2024 and Office 2019 are largely cosmetic. That stuff stopped being exciting a long time ago.

The Dutch constitution very clearly states that man and woman are equal. Yet we have small ultra orthodox Christian party in parliament who take a literal interpretation of their Bible. Amusingly they swear allegiance to said constitution o

I find this American style of leadership fascinating. It is certainly easier than the Dutch style of endless meetings and giving everyone a say.

I don't consider myself a xenophobe but it feels somewhat strange the first thing I ask when interacting with the new servant class is "do you speak Dutch". It's already considered normal that the delivery guy or Uber dr

I like food delivered to me but I am willing to pay for it. The minimum wag applies to gig workers too- and with an aging society and shrinking workforce the pay is usually a lot better than that. Ofcourse in the US with tens of millions of

There is an old Charlie Chaplin movie about turning factory workers into an extension of machines. If an app pretty much tells you how to do your job there's no place for personal expression and you become a zombie.
