I don't know about Switzerland (nor that much about Lambda School), but even the most flexible schools in Europe tends to be quite rigid. Apply months in advance, study for years, deal with grades, admissions and…
Freelancing, starting companies and the NHR scheme (which is sort of an exception but still) seems to have a lot of deductions, conditions and exceptions that require more guidance than some other countries. Maybe this…
I have had my eye on Portugal for a number of years, but there are a few things that seem less than ideal. * Cost of living for a good quality of life still being relatively high or rising, especially in Lisbon and…
Decent working condition have always been revolutionary for a large part of the world. Overall things haven't changed, at least not for the better. I like a lot of what dhh says, but I think the weak part of his…
Whether Obama is a hypocrite or not is certainly a matter of opinion. The defining moment was the missed opportunity to end, or begin to end, the war on terror. Up until that point the invasions, surveillance,…
As far as I know that is exactly what they did. > ‘They knew where the target was – third floor, second door on the right,’ the retired official said. ‘Go straight there. Osama was cowering and retreated into the…
That is a hard one. They only thing I could come up with off the top of my head is that Sweden a bit more consensus oriented, which could be quite good for creating commercial successes. Like for example I would say…
That is essentially how "vision zero" works, but with the right speed for the right conditions. https://youtu.be/7kIFegy4fII?t=1478
To some extent I think people just underestimate what education costs. Sweden pays ~€40k to educate an engineer (5 year, B.Sc + M.Sc). On top of that there is another ~€20k in student benefits to the student and ~€40k…
I don't think it is that relevant. You can be happy in Sweden and miserable in Malta. They funny thing is that people tend to say the same thing about SV, but because of the nice weather. Not to say that dark afternoon…
I would guess they do that in Denmark and Copenhagen has a very modern subway system.

I think it is becoming more common. In the early days it seems like there were more of a mix between rich drop outs and poor enthusiasts. Today, especially with the housing market, it seems like there are a lot more…
I think it can be hard for people to appreciate the differences because the truly different things are those one takes for granted. To not make this too long I will go directly to what I think has made the difference: A…
It isn't particularly controversial that IQ has a genetic component. What is controversial are other conclusions derived from that. Saying that something is controversial is often used as a rhetorical device to add…
Why I don't find many of these types of articles interesting isn't because of the supposedly provocative genetic part, but of the glossed over results. They look at something like grades and then try to find a link…
Nokia N9 sort of had that. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PBWRdtC9Cn8&feature=youtu.be...
Thankfully I don't use e-mail much anymore. Slowly but surely all of my communication have shifted to better, but unfortunately proprietary, systems. As authentication gets more universal this will continue to happen.
Unfortunately I think that is unlikely. Real estate gains and career prospects from centralization is essentially part of the compensation package for large tech companies today.
I think it was pretty good, but it failed to leave a lasting impression. Maybe I have just seen too many similar things.
When you have a combative environment most unopinionated people leave. I don't think there is any secret that there are a lot of us out there that aren't very excited about Linux anymore. Just that most of us decided to…
For example it is pretty common in the Nordic countries to have a vacation home where you spend summers and holidays with friends and family. And between saved parental leave, standardized vacation periods and public…
What do you mean by "standard of living" though? I know plenty of Europeans who have access to things even rich Americans barely have access to. Once you want to, or have, kids many benefits that are hard to come by…
I think the biggest challenge for France in regard to startup is that society is hierarchical. I think many of the other concerns stem from that. Hierarchies makes society about ranking, which kills startup since…
This isn't just about cookies though. When Google designed HTTP/2 they kept cookies in favor of a separate authentication mechanism. Arguably because otherwise people would end up removing cookies altogether making…
