I know people who've taken money through these routes. The biggest surprise is the paperwork; since it's public money, everything must be fully transparent, and the government needs to justify why funds went to a specific person / entity.

In contrast, private investors have more discretion and fewer stakeholders to answer to.

Mostly projects / products that start off with very low usage thus python is perfectly fine (Why overoptimize). And then it becomes useful - and a rewrite isn't worth it.

The claim that AI products will never work might be valid. But NVIDIA don't need to care about that at the moment. What NVIDIA care about is the likes of AWS who are investing heavily into GPUs so that AWS customers can determine that maybe they don't need some model with tens of billions of parameters to make a search engine for an e-commerce product that has 100 listings.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the deal was somehow done via Microsoft and some contract they already have with the Norwegian government. This is how certain ms tech end up with the Irish government so quickly.

Mistral , open source etc do not have a sales force. Shame really

Citi used (And maybe still are not sure) to be the biggest retail bank in the world. I'm not sure how exactly that was quantified but I'd assume its related too phsyical footprint. If thats the case I could see mid and back office functions ballooning

I'd say its a grey area in our case. The user isn't using a "tell me when discounts happen" feature, but rather a favourites feature where some of our marketing said to favourite things to get a discount.

Another instance but via notification was that someone would lose their product if they didn't complete the transaction (24 hours notice). This wasn't a lie - we reserved inventory for 24 hours for a buyer as it was a unique product. Versus something like booking which is eternally telling me someone else is about to reserve the room I'm considering renting.

It’s not quite as apples to apples comparison. To employee someone in different EU countries the organization pay an extra 20-30% on top of the gross salary. And if we wanted to be more accurate we could factor in statutory time off.

You also factor in a percentage of their salary incase you need to exit them (maybe doesn’t apply to doctors). I’d assume the states is still ahead but not as drastic as the shared numbers

The bill has a section describing interpretations and application. I think the area the news story is referring too is: 'Offence of incitement to violence or hatred against persons on account of their protected characteristics'

The news company reporting the article is from Florida as far as I can see. There are pretty different laws between USA and Ireland. I'd sum the main differences up as you can't just go and say what you want if its not true, or discriminative in most countries in Europe.
