Whatsapp? WeChat? Ueber? Ofo? Tinder? I hardly use my phone for calls. In fact, I prefer Whatsapp or Wechat. And nope, I don't have netflix on my phone.

Zuckerberg speaks Chinese. What is your point? That being multilingual makes you a better programmer?

HTML was created in Switzerland. Linux in Finland. Not sure what "software" companies are for you. Google? Well, China has enough Internet counterparts (Tencent, Wechat, Alibaba etc.). Softbank (Japan) just bought ARM (UK). Regard

Why would this matter? There are more than enough books in the local languages about programming. Formerly it may have mattered if you can afford a computer. But prices have come down so far that this is not an issue anymore. Hey, you could

"In most of the rest of Europe (DK, DE, FR from my own experience), if you want the engineer path with good money, you need to get hired by a big company." This is true. Unfortunately this has likely very little to do with your sk

He has good ideas but I agree with your arguments. Also, is he retired? How much time does the blog consume? How much income does it generate?

That is good news. Trucks are congesting Europe's streets and long-distance cargo should be transported preferably via train. This is also interesting and should be applied on a wider scale: http://www.cargobeamer.eu/

1. This can change easily and actually has changed already with Trump not renewing the NATO wow. 2. Why take any risk that you can avoid?

Makes sense. I understand their concerns. Would also makes sense to ban Microsoft at least in the EU for anything government or military related and only used a custom tailored Linux. EULinuxs instead of Red Linux :-)

Look, even as a scientist it is incredible hard for me to have a solid opinion on the CO2 influence. (Is it causing warming? Is warming a good or bad thing? etc.). But climate change is the rule in earth history, not the exception. But I ki

You can build a nest egg to "leave". I did. Companies are multinational today. So can you.

Americans, both people and companies, are much more short term focused then, lets say Germans or Nordic countries in Europe. And again, no comparison with let's say China. A government in China may not only make a 5 year plan, but a 50

Portugal is a small country. I did not see any serious investments going on, anything besides their "golden visa" program. A rich guy may invest 500k there to get his residency but serious cash is stored in the UK, Switzerland, Lu

Interesting. OT: As a former PINE/ALPINE User I found that reliable Email clients seem to be rare. There seems not to be much besides Thunderbird and Evolution. I neither got Claws Mail nor iScribe to work with my servers under Linux.

This sounds interesting. While it is definitely possible to enable, I doubt that this would be legal in many countries. 1. Is there any proof that google "mines" your phone conversations on project fi? 2. Have you done testing? Li

"The only thing harder than finding a VPN provider is finding an honest VPN review website." 100% true since the "best VPN" likely has the highest affiliate commission. In fact, websites that claim honesty and transparen
