And people in those places will thank you for avoiding hiring them, some folks prefer to not be treated miserably for your own greedy exploitation :)

It will never default except for political reasons, there's been a few near misses on debt payment exactly due to that so there's already a material risk it could default even though it doesn't need to. The whole issue is bas

I was being very honest, it is hard to start educating someone coming from that position since there is so much bullshit wrapped around a statement like "unions are just corporate blackmailing" which is hard to pull apart without

Plans change, and so they should be communicated and negotiated with the employees going to be affected by the change. It's the dignified way of doing it, people are people, not fungible commodities, treat them as people and unions won

Relatively to the rest of Europe is still on the upper echelons so some of the policies do work. The issue is: without hope for the future there's not much the State can do to push people into having kids. We live in an age of hopeless

It's semantics though, as pedantic as you want to be "robot" got the meaning of automatons in general, physical or virtual.

That's one use case where LLMs really help me, one-off scripts where I know exactly what I need done, know it's possible but would take me much longer to brush off my Bash, Python, etc. skills to write it. Give the LLM a prompt, l

I'm originally not from a rich country. Before I became a Swedish citizen I never had a bad experience traveling back into Schengen, border agents were always cordial even on the instances where they were stern and serious. Even had ni

What's a better system that allows patching loopholes of the letter without requiring extensive bureaucracy and potential gridlock in legislature? There's no mind reading, most of EU's fines only happen after a pattern of non

I prefer a system of rule of law that covers the spirit of the law rather than the letter. I do not like the idea that law can become a game of finding loopholes that go against the spirit of it, it's whack-a-mole that costs the State

I'm starting to subscribe to the idea this was blatant market manipulation. Trump is only out to make money, the guy never had any other thought in life since money gives him status, fame, and power. It's a grift, as any other of

No, fines are for breaking the law, if they don't break the law there's no way for the EU to collect the money. It's like speed traps, people can be mad at them because they broke the law and were caught, it doesn't alle

Where I live taxis are on par with Uber, sometimes cheaper when Uber has surge prices. We also have Bolt, an European competitor, which is usually 10-40% cheaper than Uber or taxis. Every Uber or Bolt can also operate as a taxi since the re

Just to add to your point: what stayed was either cost-effective to automate or had so much value added that the labour component is quite low (like jet engines).

Then we are out of any rationality, ending with both parties losing. In that case I'd guess that a player trying to win against every single other at the same time will be the ultimate loser.

Tit-for-tat is a pretty well known winning strategy in game theory for conflict resolution, it's very predictable: if you cooperate, I will cooperate, if you want to compete, I will compete. It gives a quite transparent off-ramp: if yo

Disclaimer: not American, not living in the USA. All the analysis I've read about it say that the one-sided implementation of broad tariffs is not legal according to current US laws. It doesn't matter though until it's litiga

I don't see many incentives in the current American corporate culture to keep a company leading in technical proficiency to maintain that status after they acquire the market they are looking for. All the incentives are tilted over fin

Since there will be so much solar installed it's quite inevitable that energy storage will be also growing on a lagging but similar exponential curve. Solar is becoming big, and if a major impediment is storage which is not a hard prob

That's moving the goalposts though, there was nothing in any of the idiotic statements about the tariffs on trading with China.

Very high needs some other benchmark. It's very high compared to Sweden 10 years ago, compared to Louisiana, or the whole USA it's pretty damn low.
