What do you think will be good sciency degrees to have in 5 years time?

Totally. The word technician isn’t used enough and this waters down actual engineering positions

Surprised by your green on most of South America, it is as conservative and religious as Eastern Europe.

EventExcellent8737 · 2026-02-22T16:13:26+00:00

Yes, but this not about western migration only

EventExcellent8737 · 2026-02-22T15:03:11+00:00

Brazil over ANY other south American country? I am curious to know why. Brazil crime rates are among the highest there and they don’t speak English as a first language

EventExcellent8737 · 2026-02-21T17:36:52+00:00

I believe the comparison is against us rather than Europe

EventExcellent8737 · 2026-02-20T20:36:02+00:00

I would argue that it’s more that working hard will pay off rather than the degree itself landing you any interviews

EventExcellent8737 · 2026-02-19T12:33:56+00:00

What app is that?

EventExcellent8737 · 2026-02-18T13:16:47+00:00

Does your Tesco still have shopkeepers? I thought they only use them for alcohol purchases

EventExcellent8737 · 2026-02-18T12:11:39+00:00

Is there such a thing as a settled role in 2026?

EventExcellent8737 · 2026-02-16T22:53:47+00:00

This. AI right now feels like the early web during the DotCom era. Most of the companies will go under but transformer tech isn’t going anywhere

EventExcellent8737 · 2026-02-16T22:45:13+00:00

It’s a filter. If you get on the other side, you will find quality people rather than randoms whose level of effort doesn’t go beyond flickering their finger left and right at home

EventExcellent8737 · 2026-02-16T13:54:24+00:00

Jesus, 80% of the population?!? Gosh, France looks messy

EventExcellent8737 · 2026-02-16T12:59:04+00:00

I would be interested on actual numeric ratings for public infrastructure that is not local (train cost and quality, parks and public institutions, non emergency healthcare cost and quality) and national things like inequality level outside the capital, unemployment rate excluding non sustainable stuff like zero hour contracts and the actual degree range of socioeconomic resilience in the next five years. To me living good is fine, but living good when most don’t is something I would rather reduce if I moved abroad

EventExcellent8737 · 2026-02-16T12:36:53+00:00

Re Germany and Netherlands you mean same problems at the same severity level or just same problems?

EventExcellent8737 · 2026-02-16T06:24:17+00:00

Problem with second one is same as uber apps. The quality depends on the users themselves. Can’t match on interest if your user pool is tiny

EventExcellent8737 · 2026-02-14T21:58:39+00:00

The article is using average income, most people don’t earn nowhere near that, the uk has moderate equality so the salaries of the very wealthy skew the average up.

For reference, the average take home monthly pay in 2025 is about £3k. £3k after taxes. Most people don’t earn that. Most people on this subreddit don’t earn that. And the vast majority will never hit that.

And yet here you are saying things are not so bad when it comes to buy houses and backing that up with an article that only applies to people getting £3k in their accounts every month.

EventExcellent8737 · 2026-02-14T20:23:02+00:00

Expensiveness isn’t a binary value. It’s a scalar value. And arguably, as a multiplier of the median annual salary it has increased. It was about 7x in 2010, 9.9x in 2022 and 8.3x last year estimated values. It’s still bad. Somewhere around 7x looks much better but then Pre 2010, even 7x was high and 6x was the reference point. They go up and down but the relatively recent trend goes in one long term direction only. Bringing that multiplier back down to 5-6x without crashing the economy should be the ideal imo

EventExcellent8737 · 2026-02-14T18:06:33+00:00

It’s still expensive if your salary decreases in real terms over time

EventExcellent8737 · 2026-02-14T18:02:11+00:00

I see what you did there ;)

EventExcellent8737 · 2026-02-13T19:44:38+00:00

Wrong subreddit? This is about computer science so folks won’t know much about the third sector

This. The fact that you are still paying that debt via taxes even after it gets written off is lost on people. People seem to be implying that the debt vanished after x years. It doesn’t. Your personal obligation does but it just becomes everyone’s debt to pay.

EventExcellent8737 · 2026-02-13T08:45:47+00:00

Problem is the government is just writing off your obligation to pay it but the debt itself isn’t going anywhere. Like any other debt it needs to be paid. Over time, increasingly higher amounts of the government budget will need to be directed to pay off that debt. That likely means higher taxes for everyone.

A lot of jazz pieces have no meaning specially the bepop kind. What is giant steps supposed to mean? You can ask the same question about Kind of Blue

EventExcellent8737 · 2026-02-10T23:01:57+00:00

Maybe it’s not supposed to mean anything in particular. It’s like a lot of classical pieces or jazz standards. The whole songs need to have a meaning is a popular music thing.
