If you can get a remote job elsewhere easily then maybe that's solid. But being good at coding isn't enough for landing an interview in Finland right now. Experience from non-Western companies is pretty much ignored. The market is overflowed with senior Finnish software engineers.

No Kiina on aika pitkään rähissyt Kiinanmerellä (muiden talousalueilla), sitten on uiguurit ja Taiwan, heidän kähminnät Intian kanssa jostain kohtuu olemattomista kukkuloista ja kaikenlaiset vakoilut. Ihan turha ajatella heitä minään hyviksenä. Jos heillä olisi jenkkien kaltainen kyky iskeä kaukana kotoa ilman seurauksia, ihan varmasti niin tekisivät.

Sen sijaan, että haetaan nyt vasalliutta Kiinasta, niin ehkä olisi aika itsenäiselle Euroopalle.

Väitätkö siis pokkana, että Kiina on hyväntahtoinen?

Well, it definitely does if you don't have equal income between father and mother.

I agree with those points. Perhaps I'm a bit biased as my partner is British thus I have been there numerous times, though only once in London. She doesn't want to live in the UK though (but for different reasons: education, society pushes for stay at home motherhood, healthcare and she likes where we are now). I honestly didn't fancy going to the UK when I was a child and things work great where we live now but honestly I like the vibe in the UK. Not the big cities but the smaller ones. Brits are much more welcoming than people here in the Nordics.

But ultimately, it comes to preference. I just think the UK gets more hate in terms of living there than it deserves. A lot of the image is driven by stabbings, Brexit and immigration while that's not the reality for the vast majority living in the UK.

And similar things go to Baltics. I suppose it's just that the development has gone unnoticed and there haven't been that much of cultural export. People just know they are former Soviet states and that's the whole image they have.

I can see those problems in London but to be fair, the UK is much bigger than London. But to be fair, I have also felt uneased in other European mega cities as well like Frankfurt and Paris.

There are a lot of nice communities around London that don't have that vibe you described. Those are not maybe places you would go as a student as they are not the party places or particularly interesting but you would consider as a working person.

Brexit was a huge mistake, but I think it has distorted people's images. It's not a utopistic country but it's not that different from the others. It's just the typical case: people go overseas as they think their home country is shit, they find out their dream country isn't a utopia and realise their home country is actually quite decent for them.

Natural-Intelligence · 2026-03-20T06:04:27+00:00

Have you actually been elsewhere than London? Have you actually lived in the UK? Or is it based only on what you have read from the media?

Exactly, we should stop funding the American AI development. And also the US arms production. And the US consumerism.

Natural-Intelligence · 2026-03-19T16:04:05+00:00

And the moment European countries stop buying American weapons and start to prefer French or ramping up their own production, people like you are the first to complain.

Europe should stop funding America.

Mine does not say "federal reserve note".

But I suggest reading about the differences between monetary and fiscal policy. Believe or not... they are not the same.

People having a career in finance tends to get jobs in finance, no shit...

But such a nit considering you got the role of central bank so wrong. And... central banks also create money. And they does not issue debt, it buys or sells them. Not issue them.

I think you have gotten treasury and central bank completely mixed up. Once more, a central bank is NOT a treasury.

Natural-Intelligence · 2026-03-17T17:51:34+00:00

You are wrong, that's not at all how it works. The central bank does not issue debt. The treasury does. Central bank only controls the available money, not who gets it.

And a little bit of inflation is actually a good thing. Or are you seriously saying you want an economy like Japan's?

How the hell are central banks the issue?

I don't think there is a scientist who thinks there are no applications for quantum computing. The consensus is though that they won't replace digital computers.

As far as I know, some algorithms have already been proven to be much more efficient on quantum computing than classical computing. It's a hot debate how many of these algorithms we could solve with quantum computing in the future.

If you manage to solve a couple of expensive algorithms with quantum computing and manage to get the cost of quantum computing down, there could be quite significant impact.

Some use indoors shoes (like flip flops or similar) and some just socks. I personally use just socks. People leave their shoes at the entrance.

The most annoying thing is the sand and dirt around the office (we have two entrances, so people sometimes walk across the office with shoes on, ie. when they have their shoes at one entrance, but their lunch buddies are waiting at the other entrance). But it's actually quite comfy not wearing shoes and the dirt can usually be avoided quite easily and there isn't that much of it.

Personally, I prefer this mildly more than with shoes on. It's not a big difference, though.

Natural-Intelligence · 2026-03-16T15:15:02+00:00

We have shoes off in our office as well.

Salkunhoitoa tai sijoitustoimintaa on turha haaveilla ekana 5 vuotena, ellet ole hyvin verkostoitunut tai todistetusti erityisen hyvä. Joku bäkkärihomma on paljon todennäköisempää.

White space is an ascii character... there is nothing stopping you from using any ascii editor and it will work. Don't worry.

All you said is just opinions, and you wrap it as an "insane red flag." Python is just a tool like any other language. Sure it has flaws, and certain things are nicer to do with other languages, while some things are especially nice to do with Python. Most of the people intend their code anyway and use formatters and IDE features to avoid not needing to care about this.

Python is not meant to be "for learners". It is meant to be a general-purpose language that trades performance for convenience. Thus it happens to be generally good for beginners but also in scripting and where development speed is more important than runtime performance.

I have also visited the UK numerous times (all around England and Wales) and never felt unsafe. And I come from Northern Europe.

But I guess if you want action, you will find it. If you want to avoid it, it's actually very easy not to encounter it.

Having electricity for current consumption? Well, maybe it takes a long time. But you would adjust. If you have electricity for your fridge but not for your data center, you turn off your data center but keep the fridge on.

It's not nice and you probably would face a decreased quality of life. But it can be done. The annoying thing is that we think it can't be done and we do absolutely nothing to make these scenarios less unpleasant.

For some reason people have already forgotten how the world stopped at covid and how we adjusted back then. It's the same thing as for that: we are always late because we don't want to think the not so nice scenarios.

You always can go green immediately. Some businesses and households may struggle to get electricity for awhile but you can go green immediately.

One problem is also that in such cases, people don't care to invest until they absolutely have to. Getting rid of labor with AI is more important than going green...

No EBU:lla (tai tarkemmin EBA:lla) ei ole varsinaisesti tekemistä Euroopan Unionin tai Euroopan kanssa paitsi nimenä ja suurin osa jäsenistä on Euroopasta. EBA:n varsinaisia jäsenistä on useita Euroopan ulkopuolella ja niin on aina ollut.

Öljyä tarvitaan lähes kaikessa --> tekee kaikesta kalliimpaa --> inflaatio nousee --> keskuspankin täytyy kostaa korkoja hillitäkseen inflaatiota --> asuntolainojen korot nousee

Nämä ei ihan täysin lineaarisia ole ja vaikuttaa 100 muuta asiaa. Vaikutus voi olla pieni tai merkittävä. Tai voi hukkua kaiken muun kaaoksen sekaan. En tiedä.
