the sillicon valley bubble of HN is sometimes hilarious. the concept of a company providing shuttle bus service instead of just having proper public transport to bussiness parks is very weird when one thinks about it.

i would assume some know-how is already there. NXP for instance. It's a shame really that most manufacturing of western (EU, US, most ex-soviet states) has been moved to the asian markets. Bert Hubert did a good article about this and

Also, hardware based offloading is a godsend for reliability aswell. You can upgrade the control plane of a router with traffic still flowing thanks to the data plane being seperate. You can even make another router do control plane for the

what is even more annoying is that there is a perfectly fine solution for this problem called MTU pad discovery. sadly many people block the entirety of ICMP to prevent this from working properly. Also, some NAT devices just straight up lie

this. People are a lot more bound to their local community compared to many americans in my experience. Germany, (and most european countries in general) have far more local levels of distinct cultures (dialect, traditions, community etc).

This argument goes for a lot of jobs btw, not just SWE. Healthcare is a major example. Most people in the netherlands i know who work in healthcare do so because they want to help people, not to get rich.

Also, it is not just about me being able to afford a proper lifestyle. I want the people with less paying jobs which are still considered vital (caretakers for instance) to also have a nice life without too much worry or abhorrent poverty.

also, regional fandom is usually tied with local feuds. European football is community for many people, especially on the local level. The amount of dedication for a club and the community around it is enourmous. For instance, ultra's

Also, VM's make multitenancy really easy. It allows you to divide up physical computing power across multiple people/organizations etc. Containers make this kind of distinction far more hazy.

this fetishization of contracting everything out to subcontractors has to do with the fact that most business schools teach one principle and one principle only. risk taking is a sin that will hurt your bottom line. subcontracting delegates
