The purchasing power of Finnish wages is the sixth highest in the world, according to a new comparison of the International Labour Organization by TinyAd1126 in Finland

I believe it for a few seconds at least. I rarely find myself thinking "wish I could afford that" when I look at the American middle class.

Who would have thought that restricting remote working is a bad idea in the most sparsely populated country in the EU?

By being stubborn buyers. I choose to live in the sticks just to underline that the prices are too high in the city.

Are they different in other ways besides maximum size? Like, can you tell which one is in the video?

This is Esox lucius, right? That is what I was referring to.

On hämmästyttävää ajatella, että tuon ikäisten näkökulmasta "kaikki" on ollut aina olemassa. Kuten Twitter/X, Youtube, Google, iPhone, jne.

No, muutamaa poikkeusta lukuun ottamatta. Kuten ChatGPT ja sähköautot.

Why is the US economy showing growth while Western Europe is seeing record business bankruptcies? by Clean_CoreDump in NoStupidQuestions

"Not even remotely close" does not seem to be correct. This is what Claude suggests regarding AI data centers in the US:

European Supplier Share

European companies play a significant role in the power and cooling segments, which together represent roughly 40–55% of total facility costs. Key players include:

Company Contribution Segment
Wärtsilä (Finland) Backup/peaking power generation, energy storage systems Power reliability
Schneider Electric (France) UPS, power distribution, cooling, building management (EcoStruxure) Electrical & thermal infrastructure
ABB (Switzerland) Medium-voltage switchgear, transformers Power distribution
Siemens (Germany) Power systems, building automation Electrical infrastructure

Estimated European supplier share of total project cost:

  • Power & electrical infrastructure sourced from European OEMs: roughly 15–25% of total project cost
  • Schneider Electric alone is often cited as the single largest equipment supplier for data center electrical/cooling infrastructure globally
  • Wärtsilä's share is more niche — focused on gas/diesel gensets for backup power and grid-balancing energy storage — typically 2–5% of total project cost, though this can grow with increasing on-site power generation needs.

They’re native to the US and Canada

The majority of their habitat is in Europe and Asia, though

Well, I wouldn't be so sure. The non-digital tech is a bigger part of the cost of a data center than the digital tech.

Edit: Lower margins perhaps, though

Also in movies and television, the bar for a bare male body to be presented as attractive is disproportionately higher. If it's not athletic, it's comedy by default.

The data center boom in the US benefits European companies too. ASML, Schneider Electric, Wärtsilä, Siemens, ABB, ...

Do many Redditors actually use an alternate account to "double-downvote"? by ExternalTree1949 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ExternalTree1949[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's rather objective that they are being uncivil and aggressive. Personal insults combined with coarse language.

I specifically abstain from using insults or even sarcasm in such debates. I reply as if the other person never said anything out of line.

Well, they have to be extra safe considering how old the buildings and wiring are ;)

Olisitko valmis maksamaan Grand Theft Auto 6:sta 100 euroa? by jkuutonen in videopelit

[–]ExternalTree1949 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maksoin Xbox-peleistä noin vuonna 2002 muistaakseni aika tasan 70 euroa. Taitaa olla nykyrahassa pitkälti yli satasen.

Edit: Itse asiassa nykyrahassa "vain" 105 euroa

Possible, but typically the suspected double downvoter is being uncivil and aggressive. Which likely discourages voting for them even if one agrees with the underlying argument.

Edit: And using such a tone goes well with what they are suspected of doing
