What is a "Tja, IMANAH"?

American hourly rates in IT are truly nuts. I wonder if the value-add to hiring American is really worth it, in German-speaking EU you'd get real top-notch engineering for 120€/h. Even less further eastwards.

> cool shiny shit You mean absurdly high compensation for very comfortable, low-stress office work? People work to feed their families, not just because working is 'cool'.

Am I the only one who feels the comments here don't sound organic at all?

Yeah. These are literally just mainframe techniques from yesteryear.

I'm not sure you fully grasped what was said in the parent comment. It literally does not matter anymore if we can all agree on the previous blocks, it would be impossible to identify who owns which wallet anymore. The seed phrase woul

The only endgame I see for the region is sadly the complete and utter annihilation of all civilizations there, possibly through nuclear means. I do not say this lightly and I say it with a deep sadness in my heart for the people of the midd

I earn good money, but I pay 50% taxes on my income and another 20% VAT on almost anything I buy. I'm okay with this, but don't try to tell me that I'm not paying for the privileges we all get to enjoy here. High income earne

Thank you! I find it generally distasteful how often the media seems to memory hole the Yugoslav Wars. We've already seen this in 2022 with many pundits claiming that the war in Ukraine is the 'first armed military conflict in Eur

A 7-day-card at the Semmering costs € ~280, the sports hotel there is another € ~800 and then let's price in €~600 for food. So an entire week-long ski holiday in the alps costs you around € 1.700. I will not try to argue if this is mu

That's a very nice analogy, thank you.

I do not understand what you're trying to communicate with "hold by a string" - we subsidize our farmers because we do not want to completely wreck our local agricultural supply chains just because food from, say Brazil, woul

I really have to wonder where in the EU you live. In Vienna, I got to buy an apartment in my mid-twenties by just saving up, which was easy, as many apartments are rent-capped and there's lots of cheap social housing. I got to enjoy fr

> Governments are lame In 2019, the EU created an eIDAS compatible European Self-Sovereign Identity Framework (ESSIF). How is the government lame, here? We've had the infrastructure for 7 years now.

What German civil rights legislation are you referring to?

Did you even look at the voting pattern? The far right was completely against it or extremely split on the issue.

They cannot make them leave the EU, no. But Hungary can be: - kicked out of the Schengen Treaty - kicked out of the NATO - fined under EU breach of contract proceedings - withheld financial support as long as they do not pay these fines - f

As long as companies employ morally vacuous techniques to strip us of our fundamental freedoms, I say, copyright should be completely disregarded by the global citizenry as dead law. The AI labs have set the precedent here. Why should big c

And who exactly do you think elected the 'powers that be'? The issue is that voter turnout for EU parliamentary elections is awful in comparison to national elections, especially among more conservative voters - meaning that the p

That's why countries like Austria have enshrined the Human Rights Charter into constitutional law, meaning only other law at constitutional rank could potentially conflict with such clauses. You can get your own country to do it, too.

The first one I got was about how apparently for U.S.-Americans, health insurance does not cover dental and ocular health. Reading that actually made me feel really bad for U.S.-Americans.

And what about countries where URNs are the identifier of choice? In my perfect world, we'd ban DOIs entirely from academic conduct and use only URNs respectively.
