In fact, we should all just come and rape your women

Not sure keyboard warriors acting tough on the internet would last a day there, but go on over and try.

move somewhere

I did, I moved to your rich country and am dating your mom. Want a bro?

So when do i get mine?

I think it's more that for white collar jobs in the west, applications get spammed into oblivion that your resume will never reach an actual human without the ATS triggering a 100% match on all the buzzwords.

When healthy competition exists, you can't just arbitrarily charge people more, because they'll just go buy from a competitor.

Competition is meaningless when they're all owned by Blackrock and Vanguard to an extent. They can easily sacrifice a brand to test the waters, knowing consumers will move to buy from their other brands which the also own.

I know. That was tongue-in-cheek sarcasm for the Ponzi government pay-as-you-go pension system in most European countries that's said to collapse in the future unless we import infinity migrants to fund it. I was expecting people would catch onto it being tongue-in-cheek.

The gig economy is hiding the real employment problem in most of the West.

This. Jobs that were previously contract employment jobs that came with health insurance, workers rights and social security and were mostly taken by youth as part time jobs to fund studies, are now turned into gig jobs where you get none of those things and are mostly taken by migrants who live 10 in an apartment and send the money home.

Gig work used to mean that you have several customers you bounce around for doing part time gigs, not you work full time for the same tax dodging Amsterdam based food delivery company who doesn't want to hire local workers on employment contracts to evade labor laws and liabilities.

How does this benefit society? It only benefits the capital owning class. Why isn't the government regulating this gig industry abuse? It's literally what its job is.

Both are true. Because when the abundance runs out, people start using nepotism to get what they need. You can see it in the tech job market now. More and more good jobs are only through networking. Meritocracy alone was enough during the times of abundance.

Sell what? What is Mozilla hoping to selling here? Firefox is free.

Ok but urgency is a different kettle of fish. Life threatening cases get urgency everywhere and immediate care everywhere.

Let's focus on the other part you said, "waiting 1 year" if it's not urgent. 1 year sucks no matter how you spin it around.

The interruption occurred after the institution exceeded the 152.5 terabyte storage limit contracted with the technology giant, which maintains a partnership with UFRN .

152 TB is something nerds self host in closet home labs, no need to tie yourself up to Google. I though people went to google for solutions with much more scale than just 152TB.

I did a quick check and for a name-brand (but not DELL or HPE solution) 200TB self hosted server with redundancy you're looking at 16K USD upfront cost and then you need to add your own maintenance and support costs which shouldn't be too high with Brazil labor costs and university's easy access to (often voluntary) skilled labor.

From what I can gather this is still cheaper than paying Google.

How else do you interpret his statement: "Your doc has a lot of influence on how urgent things are"

If it's not lying then it's another word that ultimately still does the same outcome of putting you ahead of the rest.

Awful piece and so incredibly discouraging to hear that this kind of person has influence at such an organization.

That's modern academia for you.

Instead of being sarcastic you could be good faith

What was bad faith? I told you what happened. I was sarcastic because your comment was redundant and didn't add anything to the conversation, only instigating.

and provide further information explore what happened

How does that change the situation? Are you the head prosecutor of Israel and looking to rectify the situation?

what you think Israel should do differently?

Extradite them or put them in jail over there and stop being a safe heaven for criminals.

No, the leaders of my country didn't try any of that. You were the first person to think about those things. I'll pass on your suggestions and hopefully everything gets resolved.

Doesn't work like that in Austria. Or my doctor's were unwilling to fake urgency to bypass the waiting system for me.

Anyway, do you not realize the fault with the system in your logic? Because if everything becomes urgent in order to bypass queues, then nothing is urgent anymore.

It doesn't fix the problem, you're just scamming the system to get ahead of the problem.

No, but the pattern of criminals of Jewish background fleeing to Israel for protection after commiting a crime, is too often to ignore.

Same thing happened in my post communist country and the neighboring country too. Perp stole tens of millons through a banking scam in the 90s, then fled to Israel because he was Jewish and claimed persecution.

At which point should the pattern be acknowledged?

How does that disprove what I said about abundance or lack thereof in socialized systems? Feels like an orthogonal issue.

Socialized systems don't work without abundance. How you generate that abundance is orthogonal to socialism since even countries that are wealthy on paper suffer from shortages and long waiting times in public healthcare leading to a gray-market of using connections to get ahead or more private use.

Longer term this shouldn’t be the case though

Long term I'll be dead anyway. To me the the actions taken in the present is most important that what maybe might happen 30 years from now since that's why everything is fucked in Europe, because everyone coasts on hopium for the long term instead of fixing the present.

>In socialism it's much more random: black markets, lists, lotteries

Evidence: the vast majority of European countries who have socialized medicine and seem to be doing fine.

That evidence of socialism working well, only works as long as there are enough resources to cover the needs of most people, basically some of the wealthier European countries.

But when those resources become scarce due to poor economic conditions and/or mismanagement, then you'll see the endless queues, black margets and nepotism running the system.

Evidence: former European communist countries who experienced both systems and where in some, nepotism to bypass lists still work to this day.

And no, no lists

There definitely are lists. You don't just get the surgery or therapy you need the next day. You get the next free slot in the list of people queuing at the hospital/practice that still has free slots.

For example the first appointment you can get at my state funded therapist if you call today, will be in june. How is that "not a list"?

Or like, if you call most public GPs in my neighbourhood, they'll all tell you they're full and don't have slots to take on any new patients and you should "try somewhere else". How is that "not a list"?

Homeless shelters are overcrowded and extremely unhygienic.

It's not just the hygiene. it's that in those shelters you're constantly surrounded by a few mentally ill and possibly violent people who will lash out in unpredictable ways and make life worse for everyone with their constant tics and noises making you live in constant anxiety.

If you're homeless but not mentally ill yet, then being in such an environment everyday will definitely negatively affect your sanity as your daily struggle becomes surviving the shelter, instead of working to getting back on your feet. Kind of like being locked up in a prison but from which you can leave.

So then no wonder a lot of homeless people feel safer and less stressed just living and sleeping in public areas than in shelters.

Probably not for entire apartment buildings since most of them run on oil or gas burning here. I only saw heat pumps on apartment buildings built after 2020 or the single family homes in the affluent areas.

Sign of a rich and very developed country.

A lot of buildings in Austrian cities are still heated by burning oil or wood and the whole city smells like a bonfire.

Probably gonna have my lifespan shortened by at least a decade from all that fossil fuel pollution, but at least we banned that dirty nuclear from killing us.

The likes of Musk and Bezos are not earners though. They don't get a salary. They pay nothing in taxes as long as they don't cash out their wealth.

Clip this comment and let's check back in 10 years.

Germans also said the same thing about Chinese EVs in 2014. They ain't laughing now, especially in Dresden.

Who is the Chinese Intel?

Zhaoxin makes X86 and countless make ARM and RiscV chips. SMIC being a foundry.

The Chinese Microsoft?

Baidu, Tencent, Alibaba, ByteDance.

The Chinese Boeing?

Comac makes passenger and Chengdu fighter jets.

The Chinese NVIDIA?

Huawei makes AI GPUs.

People forget that the US is still the #2 manufacturer in the world

Considering the US never had its industry blown up in any war and could reap the benefits of 150+ years worth of stability, higher education, skilled immigration, compounding wealth, and taking over the vacuum and brains of Europe's post-war industrial powers, that's not really something THAT impressive.

and that's (apparently) without halfway trying.

If it isn't halfway trying, why does it feel the need to sanction or ban chinese competitors?

Countries are not tribes anymore. They're economic zones made for capital generation and accumulation.

The trope is youth being uninformed

OK but what evidence is there of the youth being more informed than tax paying adults?

You called it a trope but you haven't rebuted it.

Personally, I am now smarter than I was 10 years ago, and 10 years ago I was smarter than20 years ago. I am yet to meet someone who would admit they were smarter as a teenager than they are now.
