Europe (i.e. Austria) seems to have this down pretty well. Of course, the trade-off is no hyper capitalism, really high taxes and getting most innovations much later than most. On the other hand no Austrian citizen had to worry about starvi

Data protection and privacy is taken quite seriously in Europe - I wonder if there will be profound differences in cognitive ability between EU Gen Z and US Gen Z and Alpha in the coming years because of what you describe?

The first point sounds insane. In my vicinity the trend seems completely opposite - HR is trying to get a smoother rehiring experience for employees they lost due to their high turnover. This might be because the talent pool of people willi

Maybe not in the U.S. but in Europe, Software Engineering is often a field of engineering where one can get licensed. i.e. in Austria many IT techs and devs are called (at the doctor's office or in formal settings) "Mr. Engineer&q

I used to live next to the Vienna duty station and have never heard of unpaid internships at the UN. They usually pay well above market rate (esp. IAEA and such) - can you please provide more info?

"Buy cashflow" is alive and well in many European metropolitan areas. Especially Austria and Germany - this is the area I do business in, at least. People tend to forget that real estate is a local market to some extent.

No, of course not. The governments of where these global digital infrastructure providers reside should sanction China. These global companies will then be forced to close their China businesses down just like what is happening right now in

Yes but, at least in the EU, there are strong consumer protections around what can and cannot be considered "usual" in TaC texts - the courts already gave credence to the idea that while people may not sensibly read the terms in f

Semi-agree. I have my own office, my boss would still say something if I dragged a couch in here. This was the case before open office took over in the private sector as well. Couches were always reserved for managerial class, since the 80s
