some more information can be found at the dutch website for help (roughly translated)[0]. It is in dutch, but with a bit of google translate you should be able to make out how these "open instellingen" function. (most are aimed at

do you have some sources for this?

this has more to do with the fact that cities are far more favourable for homeless people to live.

I would like to ask the parent comment if he thinks there is a more efficient way of managing society and all it's people. Actually, lets start with defining what "efficient" actually means in this context? That the goverment

i don't know how this works in the US, but in the netherlands we have an extensive system of mental healthcare (financed through the public healthcare system). This system goes from crib to coffin as far as age brackets go, and is inte

i agree with you on major points. Also, migrating to microservices for existing services might not be worth it, especially if you don't operate at a massive scale. Keep it simple stupid is still a solid design decision, despite all the

all of the EU has had the similiar banking system[1] for ages now. Tax handling can be an issue, but i won't see how this is different between the different taxes between US states. Also, culture and language are major barriers in the

it depends on your market you are trying to enter. Let's not forget that harmonizing these rules is one of the major points of the EU in the first place.

yes, but you cannot deny paying these taxes because you live at the wims of the tyranny of the majority. You could ofcourse proclaim not wanting to take part in said nation anymore and not pay the taxes, but then you would also loose out of

smart bombs is the obvious answer, but your question is has a false pretense. Carpet bombing and a drone strike are not in the same "solution space", its like trying to tighten your shoelaces with your hands or with a 10 ton excev

kinda cool! would love to visit suchs a thing sometime, sadly going to the states is a bit of a large expense to see a uboat..

Also, the nissan leaf could be the kind of car that fetches the low end of the market. All the people driving cheap tiny cars like the toyota aygo, these people are usually also those who don't drive long distances. A nissan leaf would

i disagree with this, atleast from my experience. World war 1 is heavily discussed in schools, (considering it resulted in massive social and political changes around europe, that is not weird)

Being on a Uboat (or any sub for that matter) must have been absolute horror. I think das boot (the uncut version) does a good job of conveying the insane boredom and long days or months with no communication with the outside world. Also, t

as someone who lives on the other end of the continent, this system was utterly confusing to me because streets are very long in US cities. Like, alright, ending up at 90th street is relatively easy, except that i ended up at the wrong end

I find it funny that people seem to think unions are these "shadow" type of organisations where no one has any say in how it should be run. Unions are made up by people of a certain field/study...
827.
by kazen44 8y ago
the fact that unions/left wing politics have very little political representation in the US is also fairly astounding. How is it possible that a political ideology which should appeal to the bottom 50% of the workforce has no represent

> Many European cities do a much better job of giving space to people instead of cars. We should do a better job of it here too. this is mainly because many european cities are simply far older then cars, and public infrastructure was us

Also, art does not only have a function in terms of entertainment. Art is vital to human expression, and a very powerful tool to propose an idea or "mood". cities would be terrible without public art for example, they would be dul

how come the US is so opaque about pricing? Any other country i have been to (national insurance or not) has been absolutely transparent about pricing of healthcare. Including a GP in a tiny village in france who didn't speak english w

by kazen44 8y ago
also, in most EU countries people don't pay directly for being ill, but are insured through a national insurance system. I think having a common healthcare system where individuals are not soley responsible for their own healthcare is

this still comes down to the reasoning if suffering "for the long game" is worth it in such a case, especially with growing inequality? Why would i skim off all money in the first 10 years of my working life if i know the pie gets

Also, certian financial decisions,like saving money to minimize college debt. (although i wonder how possible that would be in the US).

It also seems like a cultural issue to me. Americans seem so opposed to the idea of labour unions and workplace councils, because it somehow "hurts companies"? it is probably for historical reasons of the cold war, but fascinating

nobody got fired for buying IBM/Oracle/SAP. usually, IBM is used for very large enterprise projects and it is usually done at a "high level". (aka, architecture et al, not direct implementation). IBM is a slow, corporate

only time will tell i guess. Thinkpads are still nice machines to run not only linux on, but also openBSD. (most, if not all openBSD dev's run thinkpads as their development machines).
837.
by kazen44 8y ago
Also, this might be just IBM buying out its competition.. like oracle and all the others do most of the time.
838.
by kazen44 8y ago
Also, the fact that people blindly accept that companies somehow still have to work like authotarian goverments from old ages is mind boggling. Especially in the US, there is a massive lack of employee discourse inside the company.

I seriously wonder who is still left at oracle who actually cares about technology and pushing it forward, instead of using it as a tool to squeeze money. Most competent Sun people have left oracle and are onto greener pastures.

no, but most cloud providers are not opensourcing their contributions to linux.
