> the living standard in Europe are considerably lower than in the US.

Citation needed, unless you're being sarcastic throughout your post (can't tell, Poe's law?).

If I get the 'rona, I might die but at least I won't go bankrupt.

Anyway, GDP per capita in Europe is not the best measure, because there's still a massive economic disparity within Europe; the east is still feeling the effects of the Soviet Union (and Russia's influence), the south has been struggling financially for a long while now (Greece had to be bailed out). The West and North are doing all right for themselves; Germany has a GDP per capita of $46K, 10K higher than the number you cited. Netherlands is even higher at $52K, Switzerland does $82K, Ireland, the base of operations for a lot of US companies has $89K and Luxembourg, a tiny country, trounces the whole world at $114K per capita.
You're implying that training will somehow negate mental issues?

What if this incident was the time they were revealed?

Dangerous assuming that just because someone has trained and has perfect eyesight they're mentally stable. Always expect the unexpected, or you will be sorry.

This was during the gulf war too. Who knows what horrors this person had lived through, or heard of. Also who knows the strength of their beliefs.

Would you say belief in a God and all the things in the bible are as strange as a belief in Aliens? Because a lot of trained military people believe in God.

Statistically any person could have a religious experience at any time.

That's how I view "alien encounters", a combination of belief, mass hysteria and external phenomenon. Our culture has sort of set us up for it.
Salaries in most European countries have "batteries included" by design of society.

Free/cheap education from zero to graduate, free/cheap health care, free pension plan, free job security, ..., you got the point. In turn you get a beautiful, diverse, stable an extremely well connected economic/social/natural context. Some countries (I can think of Italy or the Netherlands) also offer consistent tax discounts for qualified foreigner workers/entrepreneurs moving there.
In Spacemacs i essentially have the sought after experience. It goes something like:

0. Know i will be working with C, expect that a C layer should exist

1. Open the docs for the C layer with SPC h l <search for C>,

2. In there, search how to set it up to use a lsp backend

3. add (c-c++ :variables c-c++-backend 'lsp-ccls) and lsp to the list of layers

4. install ccls with my distros package manager

5. restart emacs and get to work

Sure, there are some more steps, but i don't really see it as a burden. And oftentimes it's even easier than that - open a file, get prompted to automatically install the appropriate layer, wait a bit while it does it's thing and you're ready to go. Ok, you should also uncomment the git layer in the configuration but it's already there.

So yeah, i do recommend Spacemacs to the developers i know if they think they might be into a keyboard-centric experience to using the editor and other benefits that Emacs brings (buffer management is a big one for me). It was easy enough for me to jump on using it, without being familiar with Emacs beforehand and without knowing elisp. You do have to know basic vim, though.
I think there is a comparable amount of value created between you and someone in USA, its just that in Europe managers capture more % of the profit. Its not an issue of scarcity (that makes sens only for the whole playing ground) but of distribution after the scarcity is already priced in.
Oh boy. In my country, memories of war (World War II in particular), tragedies, sacrifices, "heroes" etc. are continually fueled by the ruling party. They built hundreds of new monuments in the past 10 years, gave thousands of streets names related to their selection of war and post-war heroes, etc.

Let me tell you, this is the main way to drive nationalistic divide, because the other half of the people in the country recognize for what it is -- evil manipulation of people's emotions for political gain (through conflict, much like Trump was doing in US).

> I use Fossil-SCM for my personal notes.

Me too. My case is a little different though. I realized the tickets database is a generic sqlite database you can use as you wish, but comes with a web server, syncing, and version control out of the box. It was simple to create a CGI app in my language of choice that gave me a web interface to my notes system but without having to implement my own authentication. If I want to work locally using Emacs, I can. If I want a full or partial backup in text format, it's a regular sqlite dump of the tickets database.
Wait, how do you make eye contact with a cyclist on the road?

There was a discussion about this a couple weeks ago [0]. SV (and presumably by extension other US firms) give engineers authority to make their own decisions. UK/EU firms do not, preferring to manage everything with non-technical managers and give the engineers specific tasks.

I don't know if it is ironic but:

- Netflix has constant product placement in their show and show ad for their other show on their main page

- Amazon Prime Video show you an ad for other show when you start playing one

- A lot of "smart TV" have ad in their UI at this point

- Windows has try to force ad in the OS UI several time and comes with preloaded junk

- Most Android phone comes with preloaded junk (which is basically ad)

And the list goes on. Companies have noticed that you can start to put ad even in paying product and secure a stable source of income and get away with it.
You have a point. I am not sure about the legal situation actually when it comes to rotations.

But if your employer justifies any negative action towards you with "the person made friends in their private life", you can probably sue for harassment/bullying.
Language barriers - if all of Spain is talking about your product, that’s not going to seemlessly bleed into Italy and Germany as all the hype is in Spanish. Most people speak English as a second language, but they don’t speak German Italian Spanish French and English.

So many VC funded projects seem to be aimed at American cultural problems too, exporting the issues they are trying to solve and fighting non American wye to solve those issues.

I tell you a secret: When you are getting older and still solving the same issues because you are not John Carmack, you might release that cooking is actually quite great.

Its stress reducing in itself and versatile.

Nonetheless i also think its a better strategy to become rich enough fast and then retire earlier to have more time for myself and to cook more and do other normal things myself more often again.

As long as i don't have a realistic chance of getting so rich, that i can buy an island, or/and travel for 20 years firstclass, my life will not change anymore in any significant way with me earning more money.
Isn't everyone in this world is trying to threat US in one way or the other? Poor guy. I don't know whats the insecurity of Americans about. The other day, I was reading the comment on Capitol Hill, someone commented oh it is so bad, imagine Iran or Russian see this event and plan to do the same.. What's wrong with you guys? It is unlikely US will lose power soon. But it is also unlikely US will hold power forever and ever. US has the biggest army, military expenditure larger than other major countries combined. It is okay to be conservative, but it is wrong to be paranoid. I really worry that US will start a nuclear war, when it assumes its 'enemy' has a gun. This is a stupid age of time when we have auto pilot, mRNA vaccine and this.
Nit:

One of the specifications was to be able to move a division coast-coast in 24 hours.

All but certainly at least 48 hours or more.

US Interstate 80 is 2899 miles terminus to terminus. At 60 mph, that is just over 48 hours continuous driving time.

The "Cannonball Run" record is 26 hours 38 minutes. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/cannonball-coast-coast-...

Even the 48 hour transit is optimistic for a military convoy. I suspect 4--6 days (96--144 hours) as a more realistic estimate.

(I cannot find a reliable plaanning source or reference.)

Otherwise, good points.
Hard to see how this will be a real issue. Ads make sense on articles because the most they could possibly charge you is a few dollars a month.

If they haven't made phones that are cheaper if you agree to watch an ad once a day before using it - then the dynamics for cars would be even worse for that.
The US can bypass the restrictions European police etc. has on spying on internet connections.

> SGX enclaves also support a feature called remote attestation. Remote attestation provides a cryptographic guarantee of the code that is running in a remote enclave over a network.

> Originally designed for DRM applications, most SGX examples imagine an SGX enclave running on a client. This would allow a server to stream media content to a client enclave with the assurance that the client software requesting the media is the “authentic” software that will play the media only once, instead of custom software that reverse engineered the network API call and will publish the media as a torrent instead.

they leverage off the c compiler to make it easily transportable and able to use different types, everything is a tradeoff and for the right circumstances this is an excellent one.

No one says it has ot be assembler, more the point is it easily could be if you wanted, hence the bringing up of new systems/CPU's often using Forth, you bootstrap more quickly.

Keep in mind that those numbers are for the absolute top tech companies even in the US (and by extension, the world). Even in the PPE top 10, the last one Texas Instruments is ~40k less than the number 5.

It would be actually very, very interesting to see the PPE information for a more comprehensive set of companies in the US and EU tech sectors.

Or maybe it's me out of the loop and the six figure salaries are the norm in the US even outside the most profitable companies in the world?

Edit: welp, of course the data was linked in the article: https://tipalti.com/profit-per-employee/

Just picking companies randomly a little lower from the list, Qualcomm is 118k, Oracle 81k, Advanced Micro Devices 30k.

Buying your home isn't an investment, it's only an investment if you can sell it at any time.

Risks of buying your home include:
- Not being able to move if you can't sell (because the market isn't right)
- Being stuck in a house where you pay a high mortgage while you could rent for much less after a crash (what happened in Spain after 2008). Note than in US you can give up your house and your mortgage goes away, but that doesn't work this way in Europe. The bank sells your house and if it doesn't cover the mortgage you still owe the rest

Also if you sell too early after buying, you're losing money because you pay more in transaction fees that you would have in rent (unless there is a big spike in prices).

Anyway, for a long time real estate have been steadily appreciating and people (especially boomers) got used to it, to the point that all their reasoning about real estate is that it's appreciating faster than inflation. It was true for a long period but that's no longer the case.
The problem with black markets - of pretty much any kind - is that they soon attract most things illegal. A good chunk of the population would probably be OK with them only selling weed, but then you have stolen credit cards, weapons, and what not. And the more unscrupulous the seller is/becomes, the worse it gets.

It's like with small-town drug dealers. Kids seek them to purchase weed, but then after a while the dealer is trying to push other stuff on them.

If anything, the world needs to legalize a lot of drugs, properly regulate them. Keeping things illegal will only result in all things illegal being centralized, and more available to those seeking those markets.

I live in Germany and don't have any of those things. This attitude pisses me off to no end because it forces everyone into the subservient employee rut. I don't trust or want to rely on the government and pensions especially. Higher education and healthcare I like but at a primary and secondary school level they force you to go to school but the schooling they provide is not at an acceptable level. I would never pay for it if it wasn't free. Everything in Europe is designed around keeping the wealthy wealthy and the proles under the thumb. It's a deadend road. I support your right to choose this path but I don't agree it should come at the expense of the intellectually curious and entrepreneurial types.
0.19% is much lower than even the low bound of consensus scientific estimates; the Ionnidis paper on which he bases these estimates has also received significant direct criticism. In my opinion Ioannidis is a disingenuous hack who has thoroughly discredited himself during this pandemic, and from what I can tell his agenda-driven Covid punditry is popular on Fox News and Breitbart but not taken seriously by professional epidemiologists.

The US CDC's best estimate of IFR as of a planning scenaario document from September was 0.5% for people aged 50–70, and 5.4% for people aged 70+. (This is not the best source available, but miscellaneous journal papers could be criticized as cherry-picked.) Adjusted population IFR varies from place to place, depending on the proportion of seniors, people with pre-existing health problems, access to medical care, etc., but nowhere in the US is it as low as 0.19%.

If you want a credible widely cited meta-analysis, try e.g. https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10654-020-00698-1 from December which calls Covid "far more dangerous than influenza", and estimates the IFR to be at least 5–10x higher.

> The estimated age-specific IFR is very low for children and younger adults (e.g., 0.002% at age 10 and 0.01% at age 25) but increases progressively to 0.4% at age 55, 1.4% at age 65, 4.6% at age 75, and 15% at age 85.

> As shown in Fig. 6, population IFR (computed across all ages) ranges from about 0.5% in Salt Lake City and Geneva to 1.5% in Australia and England and 2.7% in Italy.

> Supplementary Appendix O: [We estimate that during winter 2018–19] the population IFR for seasonal influenza was in the range of 0.04% to 0.08% – an order of magnitude smaller than the population IFR for COVID-19.

The UK has royally screwed up most aspects of pandemic response. Just like Brexit and everything else the Tories have had their hands on in the past few years. You don't see the same problems in other wealthy island nations like New Zealand or Taiwan.

One word: Regulation. Easy to regulate Big Tech through laws. But incoming administration in US isn't going to take it seriously given that Big Tech did exactly what they wanted.

But they can be easily tamed if other countries do it. If European Union, UK and India regulate Big Tech their dominance is over. They don't have any presence in China anyways. US is no longer that hot a market for online and ecommerce (even though monetarily US dominates as of now but that won't be the case the next decade).

You are right. The law is a joke. Pornhub had videos of teenagers getting raped for months and never took them down until they got back-lashed by social media for it. Is Pornhub still up? Yup. Has anyone been punished for hosting this stuff? Nope. The only way to bring down companies like these without waiting for a grand societal paradigm-shift is to act outside the law unfortunately, because people don't care enough, that's just the sad reality.

I'm willing to bet that most of the people that are criticizing you for wanting to date an 18 yo have probably pumped and dumped many girls in their lives themselves. They probably consume porn as well and might have accidentally fapped to rape footage, who knows.
