Well America has a difficult problem to solve. And that is its workforce is insanely expensive. Or lets say the rest of the world is insanely poor compared to the americans. We often joked here in Eastern Europe that we would be better off

What is the type of apps that one should use D for ? I think this is one of the main issues with languages that did not gain traction and that is they are too generic and try to be too many things to too many people. If i exclude the financ

Except the salaries in Europe, nowhere in Europe can even come close to such a staggering difference like those in SF or NYC. There just is not that kind of money in circulation for SWE. I even doubt one can get $130k in London.SWEs in Lond

We need the US to step in for Eastern Europe. We need a reliable partner that is at least very direct and honest about its interests unlike Germany that is all about german interests while preaching european unity and values. Seriously Germ

I dont think Google dominates South Korea yet but that might be because users habits are hard to change.

People are not producing superior products for free out of their good will. And these are often not so superior either. It is a simple balancing game of a good enough tool vs a good enough vendor lock-in. Donations do not work and developer

Free software was once necessary to balance out the astronomical costs of enterprise software. But this is not the case anymore. Free software is in this day and age not sustainable and using it it without contributing a dime is parasitic a

Finland is no paradise nor is the US of A. No country is. There are some cons and pros to every country. Finland is a sleepy country where nothing much happens. Yes you have a universal healthcare but so is this healthcare expensive compare

Not every city out there has a subway system or competent people in charge of public transportation.

I am honestly not surprised. In my country the current government came up with the idea to slam an additional tax on banks because they "think they earn too much" and they need to share with the society.

It's because the city can grow only so much. You are not buying the right to freeze the neighborhood in time. You are not buying the right to forbid everyone else from building up and altering the face of the neighborhood. I am sorry b

The only country able to stand up to China is the US. Without the US not trying enough we are all doomed... I dont want my country to become once again a russian satellite. China is too far away but will feed Russia to influence my part of

As an eastern european i feel the same just from the opposite perspective. Western European push for values that fundamentally cannot work in my country.

Are there any specific reasons why americans go NIMBY ? In my country it's mainly due to lack of infrastructure (no subway, very narrow roads, no bus lanes etc).

American tech imperialism in the real world. Apple thinks the US has the moral authority to ban the vaping apps...except maybe the rest of the world disagrees.

A lot is said about Estonia but Lithuania is better positioned and grows faster than Estonia. It's interesting but to me Estonia cant quite compete with its neighbors to the point of becoming wealthier than they are now.

Yet koreans pay just a half of what europeans pay for a much better healthcare than europeans. Oh the wonders of different systems and economies.

Healthcare in Europe IS NOT SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper. It is just someone else footing the bill for you.

The Netherlands expenditure per capita is also quite high. I cant believe how high it is actually in Western European countries. If you compare it to South Korea or Singapore the Netherlands looks just as expensive as the US of A, just on a

They did not build alternatives for people. They social engineered people to do what they wanted them to do. They slapped ridiculous taxes on cars and forced people to seek other means of transportation. Then they made it difficult and unaf

The main idea of Songdo was decentralization. It wanted to push businesses and people to live outside of Seoul. Meanwhile no one is leaving Seoul for Songdo and all the people living in Songdo commute to Seoul.

That could be said about anything really. The Chinese companies will inevitably fail because they will never venture outside of china in any meaningful way that would be sustainable for them. The Zaibatsus will fail because of aging populat
