Please remove your nationalistic genocidal support from this site for tech talk. Kosovo will not "go" away just because you like Milosevic decide to murder more Albanians - This is completely disregarding the fact that Serbia is a

They'll all be washing dishes when the next recession hits IT and the need for affordability exceeds the need for reliability in service. When the first company relearns that on-prem with dedicated admins is infinitely cheaper than clo

Interestingly, Kosovo is in multiple organizations that fall under "UN Specialized Agencies" (IMF, World Bank, etc.) and as such should have received a ccTLD over 10-15 years ago as per the UN's rules. Instead, they have to k

In the EU this is trivial to bypass via the Roam-like-at-home policy and pre-paid Eastern European sim cards. In the US one is able to order a sim card via mail and while one has to submit PII I don't suspect it is checked rigorously.

I have worked for two big American companies (global headcount ~300-400k) and two big companies from Europe (global headcount ~50-70k - hard to find any bigger that have their HQ here). These "dark triad" corporate failure modes y

Yeah - Europe is basically hell if you have health problems and in the US you get great, affordable and immediate treatment... Having lived and had health issues in both, I can 100% guarantee that health care in Western Europe is much bette

I don't know about other countries but in Austria nurses were highly incentivized to report deaths immediately following a vaccination or weeks after an infection has passed as a covid death in the sense of national statistics. I would

Reading this thread as an Austrian makes me shiver at the thought of people thinking the American model is in any way "normal".

You're infantilizing an entire subgroup of humanity based on nothing but your perceived stupidity of them.

From my experience, kids with helicopter parents never achieve their true potential in life. Trust your own kids, you'll find that they're more capable than you think.

Yes. I feel like AMD consumer laptops are much more the norm in EU compared to US - Funny how that works out.

I doubt many foreign governments would agree that all legal matters should be documented not only in the language of that country but English as well. While some countries provide a non-binding translation for many things, someone could set

A friend of mine put it in terms of "boreout" and "burnout" jobs - I, for one, actually work all my hours and then some while he seems to only use 30-50% of his time on actual work. I would like a boreout job.

I couldn't find anything on this online. Why would you need to change the theme of a chat application as a kid in the United States? Sorry if I am missing something painfully obvious here.

You mean using the godawful Facebook API or one of the unofficial Whatsapp-Web based APIs? As someone who has done E-Mail Development and worked with Whatsapp, I'm still very much of the opinion that the former is much worse.
