Good luck with integration.

But less people to build something means more companies will he able to build something, this math will be interesting in the future. Also there will be a exponentially more stuff to maintain.

No it doesn't, that is the MBA thought process of exponential curves of endless sales that always ends in layoffs when real world physics reality check kicks in.

The amount of customers willing to buy a specific product is limited.


Make the work market, business market and everything 90% less complicated across EU. I would actually dictatorially made all work and company laws obsolete. EU company, flat tax 20%, goodbye. One month no reason firing. I just thought about how crazy is the car situation, you move somewhere with your car, for couple months and you SHOULD reregister your car, because of law and insurance, costs money, then you go back and again deregister and it costs money again. Millions of things like this. As if there cant be one EU car register and just insurance flow based on where you reside. Even the residence is different by every counry. Some need you to change “permanent” residence and ID and everything it touches. Some you just say i live here now, here is electricity bill, done. Law harmonization is the stupidest thing. Either make one EU law or do not put nose into it. Every country makes it differently, some even more strict than EU requires for no reason.

> EU company, flat tax 20%, goodbye. One month no reason firing.

thats how you get a hyper capitalist nightmare like south korea. firing with less bureaucracy makes sense but if your company really needs it that is already a legal reason, american style at will employment just takes away stability from workers.

for the tax part i support lower or zero VAT (taxing consumption is always regressive) but we need to replace it with high and progressive taxes on paid out profits, both dividends and buybacks/indirect payouts. at least 60% for the top bracket. also capping total comp to 5x the companys median like in some nordic countries.


Once you have psych. diagnosis its over, doctors see you throught that lens. Ah yes, he has anxiety, of course his symptoms are psychosomatic and there is no need for more testing. My uncle was schizophrenic, medicated and living OK life after years and years of delusions. He also had untreated diabetes for years, but was on the right track. He went to doctor with pain in belly, they sent him home and told him nothing is wrong, couple days after he died from ruptured gallbladder...

What I learned is also that often doctors will shrug at an unclear illness, and wait for it to become severe enough that it's obvious. Once I had 650 glucose and a A1C of 12, they couldn't say it was just a psych problem.

I am very pro free market, but Temu with data harvesting and selling illegal projects should be banned together with tiktok...


As if Amazon don’t harvest data or have illegal products on its marketplace.


Amazon is better: it lobbies the EU. Why do you think Temu got fined ?


Doesn’t TEMU have CCP ties? Free market is for businesses and individuals and foreign govt entities should not unfairly benefit from a free market.


Every major PRoC company is required to have CCP ties; in addition to 'paying for facilitation' by local officials, a certain percentage of their employees must be CCP members.


All big companies in China are partially run by the CCP. Just how it works there.


Ties as in pay tax to ccp. In China Temu is called pinduoduo (拼多多)and you can buy some wild stuff there, the regulation on mainland seems also pretty lax i mean.


Sorry, ties, as CCP party committees inside private firms. And in case of Temu, it also has a data-sharing agreement with People's Daily [1], a CCP controlled media group.

Just image having a mandatory political party inside every American corporation which the board has no control over.

Everybody in china that gets big has CCP ties. No way around it. Their car manufacturers are all propped up by government.


Dont US law makers have stocks in the companies they regulate? Without term limits? And Tesla even gets paid per car sold

America is not China, but how close is it getting?


Last I heard the US govt is taking equity in some private industry too.


Doesn't Bezos have Trump ties?


Amazon has acquired several companies that were originally funded by In-Q-Tel, the CIA's venture capital front. This is pretty common in the tech industry. Some major tech companies, such as Palantir, were In-Q-Tel startups, and some began as CIA projects before In-Q-Tel was founded (Oracle).


I’d start with the immense packaging waste and shameless overconsumption tricks that are banned in basically any other industry.


If you're "pro free market, but", you're not pro free market. That's fine, but you might want to reevaluate whether you're actually for it.


Free markets can have strong rules. No other than Adam Smith said they are needed.


I would even go further and say that the term really has to be almost "equal" - equal access, equal rules, equal legislation or the market isn't really free.


The US and China have standards as well and bodies to regulate them. Regulation vs Free Market debate isn't a binary issue and is a spectrum.


The quote is "could lead to 14 million additional deaths by 2030" and i dont like musk. But this is big difference.


He engineered it and it’s happening now. Check the estimate of deaths so far. Or wait a few more years to see sure.


I think at least 60% companies that use Jira could do better with just Trello. I dont know how it is possible to create such a horrible mess with task manager and some reports. But it probably keeps the managers and POs bussy so :D


I'm sure Atlassian knows this as well. When you setup a basic Kanban board in Jira, it is basically a Trello board. It is offered as one of the default options.

I was actually surprised they offered such simple options. Of course the complexity is there, the moment you start wanting an extra column, you're in the rabbit hole.


Yes but it never ends there. Jira mess grows with middle managers trying to suck some kind of reports out of tasks. And trying to manage everything in it. 20 ticket states, 15 bug types and using epics for wrong reasons, every board setup differently. Moving between teams is hell. It is intergalactic spaceship when all you need to is go to have a smooth car ride.


This is true because Trello uses simplicity as a constraint, so users can't make quite as big a mess. They can still make a mess though and as a source of truth it still requires people to move things properly, so it isn't really any better. All project tracking applications suffer from the same ultimate root cause of problems: users.


Probably true, but Trello just had a major multi-day outage that prevented commenting on or moving cards, so I would be hard pressed to recommended it to anyone at this point.


What makes you think EU will not look into it and block us from buying “bad things”?


Do you think that is a retort in some way?

EU residents have a say over the EU. Canadians have a say over the Canadian government. We do not have a say over a nuclear-armed idiocracy forcing it's profound corruption and stupidity on other sovereign entities.

For instance right now the US, in defending their war-crime boss Israel, has sanctioned judges of the ICC, including Canadians, Europeans, etc. Any US firm enforcing such a sanction should be booted from operating in all of those countries. Which is precisely why Visa and Mastercard are soon going to be a busted, provincial, US-only concern. Well, maybe they'll have it in the great nation of Venezuela as well.


So is Wero going to give everyone in the world a say over its regulations or will it be a busted, provincial, EU-only concern?

Or maybe they'll have it in the great independent territory of Greenland as well.


It is LITERALLY an EU-only system. What is your tired point?


> We do not have a say over a nuclear-armed idiocracy forcing it's profound corruption and stupidity on other sovereign entities.

That’s funny because it perfectly defines the relationship between the EU and the countries in it.


From what i understood, most of "commercial" radios already has a system that plays predefined/programmed/ml recommended playlists.


There is like 0 cost for distribution, switching and using LLMs "AI" and other tools. Whatever comes, comes to everybody. There is basically 0 first movers advantage, that cannot be overcome in couple of months when new usefull tools become available.
