The tax exemptions definitely help at least getting people to move in the first place and they were a big part in my decision (I'm on the Forskerskatteordningen)

It's hard to put a value on a high trust high quality of life society without living in it first

It's important that Denmark continues to attract high quality employers (such as in tech, big tech companies with American levels of pay).

I think our work ethic here seems to help with that too (Danes seem to be 100% switched on all the time at work but will not touch it once the day is over). At least the impression I get, which is of course subjective and just my experience, is that US company owners consider us more or at least as productive as folks on the west coast.

Seems to happen with all our blog posts that appear on here (I work at Uber) - I don't get why the originals don't get upvoted but these rehashes do - are our titles just not as good?

The effect on the value of the company and the strategic effect of letting Airbus (a European company) dominate aerospace manufacturing is a pretty big threat

The only thing more dangerous than flying on Boeing appears to be criticising them

> Satozuki Limited B.V., Studs Entertainment Ltd., and RBLXWild Entertainment LLC are additional defendants in the lawsuit

What surprises me is that sites whose entire business model is blatantly unlawful feel so immune to legal consequence that they go as far as establishing legal business entities

All of these sites are breaking both gambling laws and Roblox's own TOS, but feel so immune to consequences that they'll happily trade in the open like any legitimate business would

Why the assumption this is a Russian or Chinese intelligence service? Western governments aren't above this sort of conduct: https://www.mail-archive.com/cryptography@metzdowd.com/msg12...

The level of protection you get from the ECHR is very dependent on what country you are in and how they interpret the convention.

In some countries such as Denmark the ECHR and its rulings are considered to be absolutely binding and self executing by the national courts:

> The European Convention on Human Rights is implemented in Danish law. This means that the convention is directly applicable in Denmark. Danish law must therefore be interpreted in accordance with the convention.

In other countries rulings are routinely fully or partially ignored (for example the UK entirely ignored an ECHR ruling on prisoners voting).

After over a decade of mismanagement and missed opportunities from successive governments of the conservative party this is hardly surprising.

The UK doesn't look like it's going to rebound for many years, there are now significant structural issues, not least of them being poor infrastructure.

I found this analysis of the UK particularly interesting: https://www.sambowman.co/p/democracy-is-the-solution-to-veto...

It's not generally about left-wing and right-wing, it's more that the UK is an authoritarian state, with relatively very few civil liberties compared to other western countries.

To give an example, when the government becomes upset with protests they just make them illegal: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Police,_Crime,_Sentencing_and_...

and if people in the UK strike too much, they just make that illegal too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strikes_(Minimum_Service_Level...

US government tariffs on Airbus in 3, 2, 1...

They're popping the champagne at becoming the world's undisputed number one aircraft supplier.

Boeing has crippled themselves in this two-horse race, and both airlines and consumers don't want to fly Boeing aircraft over Airbus. (Airlines because groundings are extraordinarily expensive, Consumers because they care about their safety).

The only saving grace is that the A320 order book is backed up until almost 2030, but I would not be surprised if Airbus try to permanently ramp up production now.

I live in Aarhus and its pretty good here, but I do think the lack of international airports nearby can make things pretty painful for remote folks who plan to visit other countries and family abroad. The nearest airport (Billund) is at least 90 minutes away.

Unless you've worked at a UK company for at least 2 years you are effectively at-will and can be terminated for any or no reason, except a specifically illegal reason.

No it's not.

At what point do consumers en-masse refuse to fly on these aircraft, if ever? When there's a few more fatal crashes?

The FAA will never ban it because politically its untenable in the US, the only thing that could kill the Max off would be if another big regulator such as EASA refused to let the Max into their airspace.

Already working on it as of yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38882358

I've heard that when they merged with McDonnell Douglas their new (McDonnell) management pushed out the good engineering culture and dropped their quality standards in a chase for more profit, leading to engineering experiencing the dead sea effect.

At least Airbus seems to be competent in building safe aircraft.

I would not be surprised though if Boeing's sales drop if the US government brings in tariffs or etc to try and force companies to buy their flying coffins.

I live in Europe so I guess this is significantly easier over here (except for Ryanair of course)

If you have a free account on https://www.expertflyer.com/ and attempt to create a seat alert (but don't go through with it) the Aircraft type will be displayed above the seat map once you type in the flight details.

This will also work for aircraft swaps (including last-minute ones) all the way until the plane leaves.

Anyone else actively avoiding Max aircraft after this, plus the previous two crashes, and the post from yesterday that Boeing were seeking another exemption from safety rules? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38882358

(If this means refusing to board after an aircraft swap then at least in my case: so be it, I don't trust Boeing's safety record on these aircraft anymore)

UK is no longer part of the EU and is looking to neuter GDPR: https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-...

They won't learn anything from this, they'll blame the authors for "using NPM wrong" just like the dogpiling comments were on the everything repo before mass flagging by the same people booted it off GitHub.

GDPR applies to Switzerland pursuant to the association agreement

I moved to Denmark from the UK and I've loved it.

Public services are significantly and noticeably better (my doctor once profusely apologised to me that because of resources my referral could not be the same day he made it but had to be the next morning), the tax rate is lower (because of the Tax Scheme for Researchers) the government isn't spending its days on some War on Woke bs and I'm generally much happier. After a year here I've already purchased a home and am planning to stay for the long term :)

I have dual UK-EU citizenship which helped.

Russian Wikipedia will continue without the Wikimedia chapter, for clarity. It's not going offline.

Ideally an organisation that isn't as morally bankrupt as these ones, perhaps something in the private sector.

I hope the absolute contempt CashApp seem to treat their users with backfires on them in the future when they inevitably see actual competition.

Terminating a users account while simultaneously admitting fault by providing reimbursement just screams to me that the leadership team are completely out of touch and don't want to hear a thing from their own customers.

Yeah we have some Americans in the office

We're also a member of Fast Track: https://www.nyidanmark.dk/en-GB/Applying/Work/Fast%20track

Danish taxes are typically higher than US ones, but most people moving from other countries typically join the Tax Scheme for Researchers to offset this: https://skat.dk/en-us/businesses/employees-and-pay/non-danis... (no guarantees though, I know very little about tax rules)
