I wish I really wish public transport would work as intended but imagine you live in Paris and have to commute in insanely overcrowded subs ...during strikes or public holidays.

My car is just as reliable as it can get and I resort to using it almost all the time just because of its reliability. I am sorry but it is just more convenient and secure to sit through the traffic. Commuting by public is extremely tiring, you need to stay on alert and also there is a higher possibility of getting sick. I eliminated by sick days almost to zero when i switched from using a sub to a car. And it is worth every euro I spend on gas and parking.

The problem with Singapore is that it treats you like a real shit if you are not a citizen or a permanent resident.

Even if you are from a wealthy country it just makes your life there miserable.

Statistical value of human life. Learn it , breathe it.

It's not inferior. It has to adhere to different constraints than houses in the US or Germany.

They chose to not do the insulation/heating part because of earthquakes.

It is a shame this language does not get any momentum besides the Apple ecosystem.

I would say it's because it's properly planned capitalism. They however face growth issues because of lack of freedom. On the other side they have power to build massive projects that benefit the entire region or country.

You need an enlightened leader for this to work.

Ridiculous and pointless comparison. Germans pay 2 times as much for healthcare that is inferior to the one i get in Korea.

And guess where the korean specialists go to ? Yes it is the US of A.

That's ridiculous. Why should Amazon even care about selling to people that only have cash ?

I dont believe this is real. Sorry but maybe someone can decompile the volt app to see if this is any legit.

I mean if you are releasing such vaporware you should at least do it anonymously not openly like you do.

Except that robot is completely pointless. It's too expensive and provides no real value.

A real barista does not only make a basic product for 10hours.

And if it does there are already machines that can replace him immediately without an overly expensive robot. Heck you can have a fully automatic super espresso machine for a fraction of cost of this "robot".

Through influence and money China can impose social credit on foreigners or businesses. You did talk shit about CCP or China ? You can say adieu to your license or ability to do joint ventures in China.

Can you ? USP is not a silver bullet and it is mediocre at best. I paid shitloads of money in austria for a mediocre healthcare. I pay far less for healthcare in Korea which is superior in every way.

Yea I have seen people claiming they speak C1 when in fact they dont. Do you work profesionally with those languages?

Have you ever tried to become fluent in a language ?

I dont think you have even a clue about how hard european languages are and how hard it is to integrate.

Because you cant replicate the questionable success of Switzerland in a country like the US of A.

You could try to converge and force others to foot the bill but sooner or later it would damage the industries that make you money.

Switzerland is an anomaly not the norm in Europe and other countries are paying dearly for Switzerland's success.

Because it's just not comparable. Different settings and different environment.

You cant move around in Europe if you are an average folk like you can in the US. Moving around in Europe means almost a life time commitment to the language and the country and that does not always pay off.

I have lived in Europe earning an above average salary for a swe and never saved enough to really feel I made it in life. The healthcare was just good enough, almost mediocre and living there felt like all in all just "good enough".

I moved to Asia, to a country with much lower taxes and live a much better life.

This is so out of touch with reality. You have traded an insanely rich country for another super insanely rich country and called it a day. This in no way can even start a productive discussion.

Sigh I am sad we cant have a productive discussion without going into "grass is greener on the other side".

I am sorry to say this but europeans are delusional and naive. The only time my quality of life improved was when I got a better paycheck not your "socialist" perks.

When I worked in Vienna for €55k/pa my life was not really that comfortable.It was balancing on the verge of good enough or not saving anything every month. I did not get ANY, literally ANY feeling that I am getting enough for the taxes I paid on this income. The doctors were good enough, the transportation was good enough, the living condition were good enough BUT that's about it. Getting a higher salary was almost impossible but even if i did i would pay much higher taxes and would become too expensive for the company.

I moved to Seoul for $100k/pa and my life is MUCH better here all things considered.

Dont get fooled by socialism and always put your interests first.

TabNine is the all-language autocompleter. It uses machine learning to provide responsive, reliable, and relevant suggestions.

Yes good software costs money. Whatever is wet.

People can surely utfg what sciter is in the context of a gui solution ?

That is not what I said. I just stated my preferences.

Using Electron is a travesty. Why not something like "sciter" ?

I hate public transp. I would rather be stuck in a traffic jam.

I have to get on and off in a packed subway during rush hour so many times that at the end of my journey I am so exhausted and sick.

I also get less sick when I travel by car.

All chinese subways are in large densely populated cities.

You mean all those densely populated cities of 5m+ people that china has?

Living in Seoul a city with an insanely good public transportation I have to say that it takes me 1,5h to commute to work.

It's crowded, it does not cover everything it's just as good as it can get.

Public transp. is not everything and wont solve all your problems.

Oracle wanted to be the apple of enterprise to offer an all in one oracle package that would be deeply integrated but they failed to assess the market.

It is not about Oracle not having competitive producta or services but about Oracle being stuck with their thinking in the 1991-2008 era.
