Well, you can buy Steam gift cards for cash in underdeveloped markets like Germany. Can’t imagine how else would it work.

So does Russia, Denmark, Belgium/Netherlands, Iran, China. I’m sure there’re others. I know someone working on unified payment platform for games in Africa. They have dozens of different payment systems instead of the two.

Well, we probably have resources for both (as The Humanity).

I don’t know why people get so frustrated here. Studying with chatgpt changed my life. I can compare doing it in early 2010s and now. Cheating? Well yeah, everyone was doing it long before LLMs.

Like, where? I lived in four EU countries and travelled to most of member states. I only heard of Austrian sleeper and some luxury Swiss expertise. Never heard anyone taking a sleeper in the modern times. Moscow-Paris train used to be a thi

Im in Europe and taking a train is the last thing I’d do. It’s expensive and extremely unreliable for long-distance.

Right, because scientific funding in Europe magically appears out of nowhere amid record defense spending.

Just keep in mind that a company car is a major perk all salaried employees strive to get because that allows them to commute to work for free from all those tiny villages.

One likely explanation is that both cannabis and alcohol users abuse substances due to an underlying process that leads to dementia. There might be something that makes you a heavy user AND prone to dementia. But, of course, we can’t say th

It’s not free, it’s paid by my taxes. I don’t get why you keep calling it that. That’s why we get paid less in the EU: subsidizing everything for everyone.

by f6v 2y ago
It’s never free. People in Europe say it is when they want to take a jab at the USA. But the reality is that earning potential is severely limited in Europe. And let’s not pretend that every degree obtained is beneficial to society. People

There’s cellular senescence that helps control the malignancies. Then we have an increase in senescent cell burden with age. Of course, you can put two and two together and say that aging protects from cancer. But that’s a wild jump. For on

Tried getting an appointment in Denmark. “We don’t take any new patients”. A familiar story when trying to reach many specialists in European countries (Germany, Belgium). Except I doubt they’re getting 500k.

There’s still a long way from in-silico prediction to wet-lab validation. You need a full-blown molecular biology lab to test any of these. Then again, you can just release existing dangerous pathogens. Like, poison a water with something d

Oh, pharma messes up all the time. But it’s an interesting question. You can’t be too risk-averse because there’re thousands of patients dying horrible deaths every single day. There’s simply a need for bold approaches in many areas of medi

I’ve been hearing the complete opposite on EU CS jobs Reddit. People say it’s impossible to get hired with no experience and just hard for seniors. There’s so much of reporting and selection bias though.
