But how much of a CEO’s job requires 1:1 human interaction?
Basically all of it
If I as a software developer am to be told I can do fine without human meetings to discuss product requirements, why can’t CEOs?
Because your job is different than a CEO (and it's also not true for your job)
Tangential, but many of these aren't what people traditionally would think of as castles. Is there any consensus on what the "castliest of castles" is? Presumably something in the UK or Ireland or thereabouts considering that's where the popular media conception of them comes from.
It will never stop being funny to me that China does the exact same shit American corps have been doing since the 70's but because it's glorious China it's suddenly not a problem.
I thought it was evil late-stage capitalism? Suddenly it's a friendly panda bear that just wants to spread love and technology?
The Chinese strategy is to fool naive westerners into thinking that's their strategy (looks like its working), until they can buy time to do the American strategy.
Hence, buying up and closing up foreign competition then whining about it when it's blocked: https://www.dw.com/en/china-firm-seeks-damages-over-state-co...
Wow, Chinese companies would never do such a thing!

You missed a fourth option: renounce your European citizenship
I haven't found a competent supplier who doesn't want to know who you are.
Thank you! Say this louder for all the people saying VPN providers shouldn't have your government issued ID on file to use them.
As you point out, Mullvad VPN and the like are NOT competent suppliers and should NOT be trusted, as you correctly point out.
Why'd Bill Gates name his company after his thing?
Boom! Big and tough enforcement, I like it.
Similarly, we should put in a law to force consumers who post bad reviews to prove they actually transacted with the business. If they can't, they have to go to every person who saw the review and personally retract it.
Can't figure out who saw it? Tough. It's up to you to figure out, or else it's illegal and they get 5000 years in prison for every view it got.
Anti-social engineering
Not every progress is good progress
And you're the judge of this based on your likes and hobbies?
Anyway, I agree. Just ask the people blocking the HS2 or CaHSR about how sad the train plowing through their communities makes them feel. We need to tear down all trains, not every progress is good progress
HR is usually drilled to fire people who can generate bad publicity, and that's why they are acting in OP's situation.
Free speech preserved!
High quality HN comments
Well since Xi Jinping isn't tweeting his political opinions, he surely doesn't have any and is just a big friendly panda bear!
He is not free to be a prick and go out of his way to try to get into a confrontation.
You mean like saying at work you hate all organised religions, unprompted, like OP wants to do?
The political spectrum is shifted far more right in the US than in Europe
Is it Farage, Le Pen, or Weidel pulling the spectrum so far leftward?
I can say "I'm an atheist and I hate organised religion" without losing my job.
Unless you live in the UK

Chinese models (or with any of the other models)... aren't particularly vocal
when the man constantly reminds everyone about his political position
Are you under the impression that Grok is literally Elon himself responding?
I just wish there were more articles about <EU government agency> moving to a European version of <workplace productivity tool>. 10 a day just isn't enough.
Bit of a difference between welcoming and begging to come over.
*For now
Europe needs Americans to decouple from America.
Got it.
I thought Europe was proud and independent and completely decoupled from the US, why do you need US scientists suddenly? Hmm...
Will they be exempt from providing ID to post on the internet or nah?
This. The top problems facing the world are gaming consoles' charging sources. Everything else is thankfully solved.
Oh like having a grocery store and restaurant in your furniture store?
Does IKEA sell it's competitors products too or does Sweden not care about monopolies for them suddenly?
Now imagine how bad European militaries are.
All of Europe can't even push back a broken husk of Russia.
Them not launching in Europe gives the local market a chance to build up its own players
Exactly! This is what is genius about Trumps tariff strategy, as you correctly point out. Blocking Chinese EVs gives a chance to bully up local players.
He told you why: because it's in America. You can bet if Europe paid those wages and the US didn't we'd be hearing about wage suppression and underpayment instead.
