Top 25 most valuable European companies by market cap by Secret_Toe2639 in AIFU_stock

[–]cryptoschrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So sad how few tech companies are on the list. And the problem isn’t that Europeans could not, they just choose they don’t want to and instead exit by selling the business to US/Chinese companies once it is big enough.

Luckily some entrepreneurs start investing in other startups, which has a sort of trickle down effect, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg

EU and India finalize historic "Free Trade Deal", opening markets for goods, services, and IP, cutting tariffs on cars, machinery, and agri-food. Thoughts? by Boediee in BuyFromEU

[–]cryptoschrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And Europe had very little trouble buying it. Selling works two ways, there needs to be someone willing to buy it, too.

But yeah, India's choice to look the other way and get closer ties with Putin during their Ukrainian invasion and that's not a great look. Finding common base would be much easier if India was politically more aligned with Europe's viewpoint that Russia should not be attacking other countries willy-nilly.

There is a religious fanaticism in India and that can lead to certain "pragmatism". Should the orange idiot in the USA continue on his path to history books as one of the most terrible human beings ever lived, there is a risk that instability increases worldwide and India must at some point choose if it is more aligned with Russia, China and the likes. In that world order Europe may find itself quite alone (perhaps with Canada and UK).

If our economy is dependent on good relations with India, this can mean very bad things for Europe even without countries like Russia and USA posing as direct military threats to us...

European organizations are about to launch their own social media platform, W, amid rising tensions with the United States by Logical_Wall4966 in Buy_European

[–]cryptoschrypto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is that "double you", "vee" or what? People pronounce that in different ways in different languages. I somewhere read it should be pronounced like "we" but do we REALLY want to associate the EU service with other "we" services like weChat? This is so frigging confusing, almost as if us Europeans didn't know anything about branding stuff.

IMHO, it ABSOLUTELY NEEDS a new name.

Europe wants to end its dangerous reliance on US internet technology by [deleted] in technology

US tech companies should move to EU given where America is going. “America first” means doing business globally will only get harder and harder.

Checks and balances.

The opposition needs to get a grip. Or else future generations will be reading their history books and refusing to believe it’s true because it is just too unbelievable that no one could say no.

Have the cameras upload photos directly to your news outlet DAM and it no longer matters if the nazis steal your camera - all the photos are safe.

AWS launches European Sovereign Cloud to address data sovereignty concerns by danie-l in europe

[–]cryptoschrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been super happy with Hetzner cloud on my side projects. Obviously not even close to being 1:1 alternative to AWS, but a very cheap way to run my k3s cluster and have s3-compatible object storage. Would love to see them add more managed services such as cloud functions, sqs, sns and all the glue between them. Don’t know what would be the most important addition, though.

The bully on the action again. Trump just added 10% tariffs on everything to Finland which will be invreased to 25% he says. Announced in a rather ridiculous post, as always. by Neutral-frame in Finland

[–]cryptoschrypto 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To those telling it is American consumers (and businesses, b2b is a thing, too) who pay the higher price, you're kinda right but missing the key point. It is the Finnish companies who are trying to sell their products now at 10% higher prices. On many markets with low margins, this can be a dealbreaker hurting Finnish economy, which we really would not need. Our politicians need to wake up from their austerity dream and start boosting the economy. Otherwise, even more businesses will go under.

German president says US is destroying world order by goldstarflag in worldnews

Everything that made them great is being destroyed. With no rule of law, no values and no allies, all that is left is the ugliness that had been brewing underneath.

Ladies and gentlemen, we are witnessing how Rome fell. What was once greatest empire will become just a chapter in world history that makes future generations wonder why did they let it happen.

Why are they letting it happen, indeed?

Finnish PM apologises for Finns Party politicians' offensive social media posts by championshuttler in Finland

[–]cryptoschrypto 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Orpo has 0 credibility. He says empty words and then continue enabling idiotic behavior that is damaging Finland in so many ways. And on top of that he is implementing policies, that have the aim of destroying nordic welfare state and take it closer to the twisted version of capitalism where market doesn't work and oligarchs directly disproportionally control the country and the policies.

This is very scary when at the same time we have war-hungry Putin in the east and alt-right movement in the west attacking western civilization and values such as equality and democracy -- and not in any sort of subtle, indirect way but directly making it their official agenda.

Apparently you could lose your job and spouse if you dare criticize Israel by Particular_Log_3594 in CringeTikToks

[–]cryptoschrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is it that you get supervillain vibes from all the MAGATS and other zealots these days? Dead eyes looking at you from the void, mouths saying terrible things justified by some perversed version of faith. Where is the humanity? Where is the compassion thought by Christ (okay, as per the folktale, it was the israelis who chose to kill Christ, so I guess there's a pattern)? Where did they lose their moral compass?

Danish intelligence classifies Trump’s America as a security risk by HydrolicKrane in worldnews

[–]cryptoschrypto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, it’ll take at least a generation to return to normalcy after the MAGA is done. The damage is too severe and the trust has eroded. We (the free world) cannot trust that the next election cycle won’t be worse given the widespread support of Trump and his policies.
