All the doctors I know from ex-soviet countries are married or have family established in Greece and they are old. Many are of Greek heritage, but their culture is Russian, Ukranian, Bulgarian because they grew up there. Like, above 45. How

No. There is no one that will come to the Greek public sector simply because they can go to Central Europe. Their passport is just as good. Greek doctors do not leave Greece out of spite, the working conditions are terrible: low pay, very l

> And Eastern European engineers and doctors go to Mediterranean countries for bigger opportunities and salaries. No, that doesn't happen.

It’s way worse. Mediterranean countries have free education system that produce engineers, doctors, etc that they can’t keep, because they can go to the Netherlands or the UK for bigger career opportunities and salaries. At a personal level

Use openSMTPd with any imap client. Use clamav. Make sure you properly setup SPF, DKIM, DMARC. Make sure the static IP is not in one of the public lists.

Great theory! The only questions that come to mind: how do you know? If that was the case why didn't they tell the customer?

It's a spectrum. Where you sit on that spectrum, at any given point in time, depends on your situation. No one can answer that for you.

From my experience, depends on the kid. Some kids have all the access in the world and are even "skilled" with the TV and YouTube (tablets) but don't care. They prefer playing with cats, dogs and birds outside, mess up the ga

Okay, Zappa is a bit defeatist although what he says is true, I don't think it's that bad... But here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88zvm7-fhKo (Frank Zappa on American culture)

You most likely are going to need more services like cloud object storage and a managed DB. Running all these services by yourself will be hard and should be avoided unless necessary (e.g. compliance). DigitalOcean is okay-ish although, I d

To be fair, the author wrote about tech workers in SV specifically, not about the "overall work with of America" (which btw is a continent, not a country). The hero arc story is true and has to do with large Protestant population.
