I am so looking forward to the sequel of Rome ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome_(TV_series) ), filmed in Georgia ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rome,_Georgia ). Or the new Lord of The Rings

It took them less than I thought. We are gonna have fun with "can you suggest me a product to do XYZ"? At least until now you could run a search to compare, etc. ...Imagine how biased the results can be when you ask "show the

With all the money cutting happening, I am not surprised they are joining the bandwagon to get some investors... I just read some days ago here on HN an interesting link which shows that more than 70% of VC funding goes straight to "AI

A skilled human can do the same thing but not everyone is open to offering this sort of services for certain purposes. Making a tool like this trained on existing map services, for example Google Street images, gives everyone, no matter who

This tool just makes it easier for weirdos to achieve their goals at stalking women and kids. Crazy that this is even allowed. Who the hell needs to know the precise location of a picture, besides law enforcement? A rough location is most o

I think they fixed the deception. Annual, billed monthly cannot be a deception the way it is phrased. Lots of contracts work like that, even my phone/electricity bill and they have been like that forever. The issue, if you look in one

I only see annual and annual billed monthly in photoshop pricing plans. Where do you see the monthly one? Edit: I just clicked on buy, and it leads to what you said. Apparently the monthly one is not mentioned in the front page. Weird.

I like to believe that 16 years of Merkel left people with the inability of understanding politics and democracy in general. Handling AfD by inviting them to a talk show where the audience/presenters were mostly people with Greens&#x2F

You're right, technically they are different. However, the context is relatively similar - lots of laws to know about, etc.

Not sure how Germany is actively killing innovation to be honest. Your other points are more or less true, I just like to think that people complain a lot and media obviously makes it worse. Digital health cards, online tax declaration, etc

Not the OP, but I don't understand what your original comment was trying to convey. You took in my opinion unfortunately the worst example you could. Unions are by definition bureaucratic because they need to be...

It's how the EU today works BTW. In german shops you can buy locally produced pasta or imported Italian pasta (no import tax), both with 7% vat on it. Now you can claim "but this is EU...". Why can't this free trade be d

by mk89 2y ago
To allow free trade of certain goods which your country needs more. This is why tariffs are much more flexible, because they allow you to, let's say, trade oil at a cheaper price, while pasta (widely produced in europe) at a higher pri

Who cares? From the standpoint of someone selling you something, their product will be sold for 20% more (and they don't get 1 cent out of it).

VAT is applied to services too, at least here in Europe. Now, if we were to split VAT in two: 1. tax on imports, 2. tax on whatever goods/services people in that country pay/buy, you could keep just the 2 and have free trade with

Not true. VAT is not applied on exports outside of EU.

If USA keeps 10% tariffs for everyone equally, why should we interfere? Serious question. I believe that Trump is shaking things off, but his goal is to introduce a fixed "tariff" like a soft VAT. He is just testing (and profiting

I don't understand how relevant is that this person used AI for preparing etc. I think you're drawing the wrong conclusions from this experience, and if you believe it's right so, it means you didn't interview before AI.

Sure, let's all lose our jobs, who needs them anyways...! But then finally we proved Trump and all those evil Americans a point! *evil laughter... We in EU could do that, if we dared investing in tech.

Come on, did you see the trade for goods and services deficit with EU? It's ludicrous. But hey, the president decided to focus only on goods. Why not on everything ? Because it's unjustified. He needs money. A lot. And throwing o

Plus, if you do that you're a frigging communist. On the other hand, it's so much better to call neighbors, allies and everyone else people pillaging/raping the country. People like drama :)

I am not an economist but I see two things 1) usa has a huge debt, 2) this feels a lot like VAT applied on a federal level, without calling it VAT. Ok "VAT on imports". Why not. Obviously this is being sold as a trading surplus BS

I think it's both. There is also a sense of "buy german cars because people are getting fired and losing jobs" etc. (=buy local) Very difficult to measure, but I wouldn't minimize it.

With more and more alternatives available, not sure why someone would in general buy a Tesla, at least here in Europe. They are very expensive and apparently not high quality as one would be expecting for that price. Add all the political &
