Essentially we have two competing visions for society. 1. I’m a free person who is financially self sufficient. The government doesn’t play a big role in my life unless something goes seriously wrong - health emergency, crime or crisis. I barely think about government but I…
Suppose that once a week, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to £100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this: The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. The fifth would pay £1. The sixth would pay £3.…
A lot of European people are worried about the future of US. But when I visit US I'm always impressed by how prosperous it is, including for the average person, and how increasingly meagre life in Europe continues to be, driven by policy choices. Why would anyone worry abt US?

Realistically I think the only way is to convince the EU member states to either 1) pressure the EU to redesign itself structually, and if not 2) exit the EU Once enough exit there will be restructuring of the EU or a whole new design or it disappears And the individual EU…
We're all on the same planet but living completely different lives 😂
I’m so bearish Europe it’s not even funny I was hopeful 10 years ago as a teen seeing Zenly, BeReal, Entrepreneur First, The Family etc But socialism just ingrains in everyone deep loser DNA and it’s a true nightmare Yeah you get free healthcare but you get a $60K per year…
Do you have any idea of the image we have of the United States in France? Would you like me to tell you? It's worse than you think.

These Linux commands helped me most in last 13 years of IT career Daily stuff: • ps aux | grep {process} - Find that sneaky process • lsof -i :{port} - Who's hogging that port? • df -h - The classic "we're out of space" checker • netstat -tulpn - Network connection detective…
Most engineers learn system design backwards. They jump to Kubernetes before they understand what a network packet even does. Here’s the order that actually makes you dangerous: 1. Networks first HTTP. TCP. DNS. Latency vs throughput. This is the part nobody studies. This is…
There is a reason why System Design is hard for most software engineers. They don't understand how distributed systems work. If you want to learn the basics of distributed systems, read these 13 curated articles: ↓
Hans and Helga have to work till they’re 73 so Mohammed and Fatima + their 8 kids can live a better life. And if Hans and Helga complain they’re disgusting Nazis. Welcome to Germany everybody.
Germany has proposed raising the retirement age to 73 to prevent the collapse of the pension system, per Reuters
The Economist published this article that's contentious but probably right: It argues that laws protecting labour in much of Europe make lay-offs so onerous that high-risk moonshot projects become unviable. Making it easier to fire people could, weirdly, benefit everyone.
The explanation is simple: In the UK, France, Belgium, Spain, and Sweden, it is forbidden to even carry pepper spray for self-defence, as it is assumed that the responsibility for citizens’ protection lies solely with the police. Even simple tools such as stun guns or…
Yes. Denmark is among at most a few places conducting the basic yet crucial analyses of the impact of immigrants in Europe. It doesn’t make any sense to me to let in millions of African and Muslim immigrants without even trying to examine their effects. What we find is that…
Thanks to Denmark, we have detailed and reliable studies showing that immigrants are an economic burden, a drain on welfare, and the cause of the housing crisis. No such studies are conducted in other European countries because of censorship and greed. Glory to the Danes!
“We have to bring in immigrants to support the aging population.” “The aging population needs to keep working to support the immigrants.”

Europe now has 0 companies left in the global top 25. What needs to happen for that to change by 2030?
I warned about this from the start but the boomers called me an antisemite and the leftists called me racist. Can’t call me a liar though.
