Lol, no.

Market forces created an economy which made everyone rich including the government which could then afford to spend a very large amount of money on one project, which also wouldn't have worked without the skills people acquired and the products that were created in the market economy.

Check your privilege.

yup, the QoL is amazing. I can understand non-sporty people not liking it though.

Excellent article! Feel like Ive had a few of these realizations the hard way (i used to often, still sometimes do, just text someone a Q without offering something at the same time). Wish I had learned these lessons earlier. The point how different 1on1 and group conversations are is a great one, without someone there being open to get ridiculed noone talks.

Yup, in switzerland. The work-life balance is amazing. I asked for it when negotiating the job offer, employer had to accept since there were no other candidates and I was a perfect fit.

Tired of being the most knowledgeable person in the room though, so accepted a full-time position in the US I will change to soon.

I think the lessons learned are exactly those you should be as a junior, nice post.

Most is at least over 50% (I would say "most" implies 70-80%). Your statement as written implies that 50+% of the important decisions made during soviet times were influenced by the tsar's previous actions. That is (still) ridiculous.

Pretty sure that's included.

I think your claim is ridiculous. Please explain why stalin's purges in the 30s, the decision to occupy and install puppet governments in eastern europe, and the failure to reform the economy in the 80s (perestroika) was the fault of the tsars.

You can't.

Big newspapers have a styleguide they themselves created that they follow. Should be googleable.

That's clearly a prepared question. He sucks at following up AKA actually interviewing.

I dont like lex but this and the one with demis hassabis were very good (i think bcz lex managed to avoid saying much).

1947 saw two Qs neg growth amd no recession.

This is something that everyone who is actually interested in the topic will have heard of because it's been mentioned repeatedly by the experts. And yet this thread is filled with confident statements by people who clearly have put zero effort into forming their opinion. Sad.

Why are new languages always putting the type on the right :(

I love blogposts like these that share the specifics thank you very much for posting. I probably would have wasted even more money.

In Germany you hit the higher tax brackets much quicker. I just input the numbers into a calculator and at 150k in NYC you pay 34.5 and in Bayern 43.4% taxes.

I can do this too! Let me try:

As soon as we start building more NPPs thereby training a workforce for building NPPs building costs will go down 10x and renewables as we know it is done.

I believe the costs for nuclear are longterm.

The problems of nuclear you mention seem fixable and french electricity prices are waaaaaaay cheaper than german ones. I fail to see how france is in a terrible spot when it's germany that's likely to freeze this winter (and has literally no solution for that, other than begging their enemy).

Why do you think solar will get cheaper by another order of magnitude?

As another python dev, it has basically never been a painpoint for me.

Your anecdote adds little.

That's not true. You clearly have no clue of the administrative side of things.

That is a super common mistake from beginner python programmers.

If one didn't have the attitude I mentioned the company will go under from employees leaving. You missed the point.

> It's a matter of perspective. We have a culture that largely puts business interests above independent peoples interests.

No. It's about the fact that it's literally the CEO's job to put the business's interests above those of any individual employee. Anything else wouldn't make sense.

His action was the only rational one. The fact you don't realize that does not make you look intelligent.

It's amazing how good Switzerland is at having their shit together.

Exactly. Who cares about the fetus? It's not like any one of us is doing anything about the shitty stuff that people (conscious ones!) are going through right now in third world countries. So the whole "you're killing a human" angle is complete nonsense, life is not sacred and it is silly to act like it is.

The only thing that matters here is what the mother wants.

Games nowadays are less competitive than they used to be, see the simplification of controls in RTS and simplification of shooter mechanics (i.e. no quake) etcetc

Applies to many things, Stephen King on writing: "You have to be willing to kill your darlings."

These are really half-baked thoughts.

1. As you may know half of Switzerland is filled with mountains, so building infrastructure there is actually not that trivial (no, the high speeds are not just in the big cities, they're everywhere).

2. Dark money in Switzerland hasn't been a thing for a while. The wealth comes from sensible policies like a sovereign currency, low taxes and reasonable levels of regulation and bureaucracy. All that money also makes everything expensive, so the extra money kind of cancels out when it comes to doing stuff inside Switzerland.

With wait times triple than what OP talked about..
