>>> In Europe, we don't have net neutrality News to me. The EU most definitely has NN and healthy competition, it's doing fine.

I don't think it's that ridiculous. When you have tweets like this [0] from politicians it gives the impression that people do actually think like that. [0] https://twitter.com/BernieSanders/status/705171

Portugal has NN...

We have this in the UK too. But I don't see this as an attack on Net Neutrality, you're just charged differently for what you use. Nobody will stop you using Facebook when you have a Music subscription, nothing is throttled.

Maybe it's a regional thing but I never encountered Stripe in the UK/EU. I don't think people know of it.

As someone else who currently lives in the UK, this is not true.

There's already an imbalance when it comes to different genders and races, I don't get what they would lose. The real reason companies don't do it is because Fizz Buzz is a better test than IQ tests.

There's no reason. If rabbits overeat their environment and they die of hunger, and humans do the same on a planetary scale, it means we're not even as smart as rabbits, don't you think?

If it's difficult to prove that IQ is relevant to the job... Maybe it's not. Also, I doubt that's the reason.

Meh, IQ is potential, not capability, to do a job. I don't find this argument convincing. What about all the literal geniuses who have no interest and never studied CS? At least the graduate can show that he/she can commit to a mu

Geeks aren't as smart as they think they are. Particularly when it comes to business requirements. I'm guilty of that as much as anyone.

>>> The in-state tuition at Missouri State University is $7,306 (yearly!), which is actually cheaper than the typical German education No it's not. $7k+ is not a "deal", it's outrageous.

But from what I understand, I still owe you $10, even if I pay you in pounds or euros.

The euro zone had around 1.5% inflation this year, what are you talking about?

>>> Smart hard working people succeed much more often than they don't It sounds to me you're classifying people as smart/hard working only if they're successful.

Oddly, the UK does have net neutrality and you can get those app-specific data bundles in addition to universal access.

I highly doubt any Internet plan will list all the websites they won't throttle and it's unreasonable to expect them to do so. Would you be happy if your electricity provider was free to block access to, I don't know, refrige

Yeah but they're not dominant in anything else. Microsoft was different.

Well cash injection by definition create inflation. However it could be a neutral effect if, for instance, you get rid of unemployment benefits at the same time.

What an odd statement. Nobody said it's because they're Hungarian. It's because of the educational system at the time, which affected everyone in said system, regardless of ethnicity or "average IQ".

Android can absolutely do this. Either via settings or replacing the default calling app.

Well yeah, but you can easily have sugar added to salad dressings, dips, tomato sauces... Also, carbs and pure sugars are not really comparable. A lot of carb heavy cultures live very healthy lives.

by vilmosi 9y ago
I don't think carbs had anything to do with that. The added sugar/corn syrup in everything did it.
