Although I'm not Dutch I profess a lot of affection to the Netherlands and I lived there for a bunch of years. Having said that, it is IMHO possibly the worse place to be in case of a massive increase in the sea level. My house in Den

Far beyond the point, which was KSA and the Spanish Empire are nothing alike. Unless I'm missing a deeper point, for which I'll appreciate clarification.

I'm afraid I don't understand: as Spain is not a global empire anymore, the previous point (i.e. Saudi Arabia is akin to the Spanish empire in any meaningful way) stands. I must confess, I find your logic quite lacking in sense or

Maybe I'm mistaken and you are surely referring to a different Spain, not the one that established the first global empire, spawning half the globe barely after medieval times, and lasting over three hundred years [0]. I'm pretty

In my humble opinion, the STEM education in the US is not even in the same league as that of EU or Russia. What baffles me the most is, not only the education is lacking some of the most basic items but it's self perceived as world cla

On a related note, it doesn't say much of the representative nature of the chamber that the vote doesn't reflect the split hair referendum result.

Yup, one of the things I dearly miss from living in NL and/or Spain is really having our kids safely roaming around with no worries of CPS or worse. Here is the US it'd be mental to allow them more than a hundred feet away. So muc

Absolutely, that's why I quantified it as 'prone'. Paraphrasing an all time favorite Briton of mine, we might be all equal, it's just that some of us are more equal than others.

This is a more interesting question that it might seem. For a Sunday afternoon read, please take a look to Jonesforth [1] for an implementation of a basic Forth for Linux/32 bits. It's written in literate style and it reads like a

It's not only misleading but rather inaccurate, as Franco wasn't even likely to succeed Sanjurjo [1], the lead in the conspirancy. Classical narcissistic delusion, more proper of the daily mail than the guardian. Brits are traditi

It seems he didn't learn much from the experience. Gibaltrar conflicts with Spain are not exclusively about the territorial aspect but rather it being a prominent haven for human and drug trafficking. Their locals are a constant embarr

That's unlikely - I lived and worked in Amsterdam downtown for half a decade till a couple of years ago, and I didn't find a single issue in that regard. Please note this involves going out weekly, late at night and everything els

I was indeed comparing a senior developer salary in SV with an equivalent position in a country like The Netherlands or Sweden. The bottom side of the bracket is more difficult to quantify in my view, and there are other aspects involved su

EU citizen currently living in the US here. Hugely recommended, if only for comparison purposes. From my own experience, English speaking countries are a must. If that's not an option, cities like Barcelona or Berlin should cover your
