Haha, well, I would appreciate if comments included more substantive evidence when they make claims like they did. I see a lot of "AGI boosters/doomers" comfortable making big claims without providing research to back what, w

How does that back up your point? You are not making an argument, you are just making assertions without evidence and then telling us the burden of proof is on us to tell you why not. If you went walking down the streets yelling the world i

No, the burden of proof is on you to deliver. You are the claimant, you provide the proof. You made a drive-by assertion with no evidence or even arguments. I also do not accept your assertion, at all. Humans largely function on the bas

Yeah this one isn't relevant at all to the current protocol version.

A reminder that Tim sold out his own creation to DRM. I trust Tim to "save the web" about as far as I could throw him with one hand. https://www.theregister.com/2017/03/06/berners_lee_web_drm_w...

I've been talking so much shit on China over the years I decided I'd come over when the opportunity presented itself to visit. I'm in Shanghai and mostly it feels the same as any capitalist city except it's super clean.

Sorry, as a Dane, this weird conspiracy narrative that the US has us by the throats and is forcing us to push this legislation through is garbage. Our government did this because they love control. A hard hand is what got us through COVID a

I said a good overview. Many experts have given their analysis on why Lynetteholmen sucks including environmental scientists [1]. The very fact that the environmental assessments were done piecemeal [2] plainly demonstrates the politicians

Can you elaborate on both points?

But it's not. I do not enjoy the benefits of a de minimis as a resident of Denmark. Every policy set in place is to discourage my enjoyment of a de jure de minimis. If you import goods into this country at below the threshold, you ar

Look at my other comment. Most countries in the EU levy their own import fees that essentially make any de minimis in practice null. US consumers have long enjoyed the privilege of actual de minimis , that is straight to their door, no fus

You are correct that technically this is true. The EU has proposed to eliminate the threshold [1] but in practice EU consumers have not seen the benefit of the de minimis practiced by the US: try and import goods below the threshold from ou

And note that basically no other developed country had this carve-out except the US. People are foaming at the mouths about this issue, but no one pointed a finger at the EU or anywhere else.

That's the one! Here's a good overview by a Dane on its folly: https://youtu.be/K4icpF0S5BM?si=zjB2qkB-wy-VQu58

For what its worth, unions don't do collective bargaining for tech workers in Denmark.

Doesn't mean it isn't done. The Lego family was caught flying their private jet all over the world so they sold it and now have exclusive renting rights to a plane in a hangar operated by another company.

Exactly and I'm glad to see this the top comment. I live in Denmark. I am Danish. Too many people nurse fantasies of the Nordics as some kind of socialist utopia. The fact is Denmark grows more corrupt by the day. They keep pushing the

May I ask if you make comparable money to when you were in tech? This sounds like a good career-shift for me but I wouldn't want to sacrifice current quality of life.

Yes, please, though I really wish you had posted something more substantive than two lines.

You're not saying anything, though you may think you are. Fiduciary duties owed to the company arising from the legal relationship between the directors and company is just legalese disguising the actual practice of public companies. I

Identity politics, a key component of woke ideology, is not a rebranding of social democracy and egalitarian humanism. The latter two used to be a common platforming of class equality. Woke ideology has turned common ground into a pitched b

Danes are very proud of Denmark. It's a tiny country. There's a sense that we need to protect this tiny state from criticism because it's taken care of us. We've given the world Lego, Hans Christian Andersen, and we rank

Danish journalists refuse to inform the public about this. The moderators of r/denmark are also currently blocking any submissions of this story to the subreddit.
