Why do you think that is equivalent with work-from-home days? Maybe it is just that their winters are harder, and instead of commuting in a snow storm, they chose to work from home?

That's a very black and white interpretation. For my whole life, the prediction that (ro)bots will do all the work has unfortunately never materialized. To me it looks as likely as having economically feasible fusion energy in the grid

The article's points are not particularly new. It's an individual choice, but from what I see, the share of people who could be happy with a Linux desktop is higher today than ever before. A few years ago (before SteamOS?), gaming

Not yet. I'd say the notion of what programming is will shift (again). Programmers might use AI helpers, or embed AI functions in you products like we are using IDEs and libraries since a while. I'd also say that many established

About time. Whenever I have visited the nordics in the past, I was surprised by their unhealthy eating habits :-D

Can't deny that some EU politicians (mostly conservative ones, surprise, surprise) have a hidden agenda behind it. The statement that gov & businesses in Europe would not be able to operate normally without American software is eas

That's just a US propaganda myth people can't stop parroting. The SV ecosystem is definitely better funded, but there is no lack of digital start-ups in the EU.

Very good read. Whether you are an avantgardist digital nomad, or a backwater-dwelling local patriot, you should read this post ;-)

"If you haven’t heard from us in two months about an application, we likely proceeded with other candidates for that particular role." Mediocre big corp vibes :-D Nevertheless there is also some good stuff in it (trying to cramp a

As a European I have a rough understanding about the legal grounds of how tariff rules are being set in the EU. But on the US side - can a US citizen maybe explain the legal basis of the current tectonic shift in trade policy enacted throug

You sure? The tariffs slapped on Vietnam say otherwise. The admin really seems to want everything to be produced in the US. Recursively including all the parts.

In such a situation, you need to grow in two areas: A) Becoming a people manager. This is easily underestimated. Your job is to ensure your team works in the company's best interest. That also means that the team stays a team, and is m

As I am a bit disappointed with my Kindle, I read this post with a lot of curiosity. Unfortunately the Bookeen Saga is unavailable, and the post does not say much about the real user experience beyond the hardware design. I'd be more i

I have been using both platforms recently, but I personally consider current iPhones a bit less useful and a bit more buggy than comparable Android phones. So my guess was that many people don't buy it for the additional value but for

One hole to poke into it ;-) There is the growing class of the working poor in the US, and that is something the better off seem to have been ignoring for a while. What I try to say is, that even the status quo ante Trump politics were alre

Will this cause people to switch to cheaper Chinese brands? Or is the Apple brand so deeply entrenched in status-conscious US American minds that they will spend that much money for a phone? ;-)

Any Argentines here who might want to comment on this? How does it feel in reality?

Yes, probably US consumers will bear the strongest impact in terms of inflation etc. So far, stock market impact is global. OTOH the policy is intended to isolate the US economy, and looks like it will achieve that goal. Will be interesting

The article in my view even underestimates the 2nd order effects on big tech. Examples: - Foreign clients divesting from US vendors due to the unpredictability, i.e. the supply chain risk - The EU taking retaliatory measures impacting them,

I'd say US corruption is now more transparent than EU corruption :D That was once different, with Berlusconi at the helm in Italy while owning the major TV outlets.

Looking at defense spending, I do not think it saved so much money. It mostly ensured that the US would be the only major nuclear power in the West - so the "military protection" was more something like a moat for the nuclear mono

"smart image control" No, it's just plain insecure and ridiculous. And the ridiculousness actually hurts their image.

If you look closer, you can see that the free tier is mostly covering SaaS in order to lock you into their APIs. The free tier for VMs isn't that generous. For a startup, locking into an API that is initially free can often break their

You might remember he was one of those recommending to vote for Harris. And some of the reasons he gave can be found also in the article btw.
