I don't fully understand this claim. The job market has people coming in, but also, in parallel, people exiting out of it. developed markets, especially in Europe and Japan, will see massive attrition due to people retiring or dying of

how about you quote the whole wiki article? "The World Health Organization (WHO) suggests it could reach 4,000 civilian deaths, a figure which does not include military clean-up worker casualties.[5] A 2006 report predicted 30,000 to 6

great example of a tech that works perfect in theory, but bombs horribly in practice. accidents happen all the time, see the massive blasts in china recently. but, with other tech, the effects are limits to proximity. tchernobyl's fall

my guess this worldview on for-profit companies is google's fault. google ads is funding the other google, which behaves like a non-profit. and it works, as their ad business is amazing. but, it sets a really bad example to follow. twi

finally. completely incomprehensible why they needed such a large headcount. ten times more than whatsapp would be ok - but not this behemoth. all these designers do what exactly? ignore ipads, macs, etc. i love twitter, use it constantly t

well, I guess LinkedIn is hosed. and AWS which does global replication. and and and. this ruling ignores the decentralized nature of the internet. worst case is Europe being shut off from any tech advances, while the Pacific region from Cal

how are they off? straight out of a car and driver report, google it. but i guess even this will get downvoted, rather than PROVEN wrong. why even bother debating anything on HN anymore?

any stats to backup your claim that men generally don't care about the appearance of a gadget? Seems there are whole industries begging to differ, starting with cars.

Love how his use of humor, like the red/pirate/danish flag just go right over the head of commenters here. HN stereotypes in full effect. It's a talk by someone of European origin in Europe. It is not a science talk, it is me

Germany with its switch to renewables is seeing the same issues. They pay the Netherlands and other neighbors to dump German surplus electricity in peak wind hours. Germany has a goal of 80% energey out of renewables by 2050, but it is enti

on the legal argument - remember that is easier for a wealthy US citizen to break the law internationally and even at home than say a German trying to break the law in Germany. get a local conviction on your personal record and you're

you're absolutely right. successful examples that started in europe soon moved to the us to take off. qliktech/qlikview as a swedish example. intercom being spread across ireland and SF. etc. the one market that could rival the US

also helps when cities/towns are older than the US as a whole. much denser, built for different times. also helps when your country is dead flat. old people can cycle on flat roads. SF style hills ... not so much.
