2·11 months agoOhh your are 100% right. I completely missed it. Thank you for the correction.
I would love to share the Nubula link for this instead. But they didn’t publish it there yet.
Edit: Nebula is not EU - maybe partially because of some EU creators. But it’s also not Google.

The problem in Europe is exactly the fragmentation of payment systems. For most you can only use them if you are a resident and have a bank account on that country.

People should really stop talking about Tesla. Everyone knows what a Tesla is, even people who can’t name any other car brand/model.
People from Greenland would surely accept to exchange their land with California.
Maybe they are just being well paid

Yes. I believe that property taxes also exist on most European countries.
In these Kantons in Switzerland, residents need to report yearly the total value of assets at 31 Dec from the previous year.
Yes. By default we don’t want any government intervention. But the “government overreach” needs to be addressed on the specific cases where it happens.
I don’t believe any government has the right to restrict which books and news sites I should be allowed to access. I think I am the best person to decide which knowledge I should have access to.
While this statement is true sometimes, it is also again an oversimplification. I don’t think even you believe this. If a website contains illegal content, would you really prefer for the government to not intervene?
Classic examples would be the sale of hard drugs and child pictures.
We all agree more than we disagree. But communication is hard and most subjects, especially the hard ones, are not black and white.

I can imagine the prompt to generate this:
- Make a list of EU regulations that apply to tech giants and explain what they are.
- For each of the regulations add one example that oversimplifies the potential downsides
- Ommit any advantages
A troll trolling.
I found this in the newsletter from Our World in Data and thought it was interesting to share here.
The researchers are from the University of San Diego. I shared the link above to the authors’ website because the university website is not opening for me.
The final version should be here, according to the newsletter and Google: https://econweb.ucsd.edu/~pniehaus/papers/how_poverty_fell.pdf

The Eurostat page looks much better in terms of the information it provides.
Even better: Eurostat | Statistics Explained | Mortality and life expectancy statistics. It has life expectancy at birth and at 65.
There’s also an entire book on “The imapct of Demographic change”: https://commission.europa.eu/system/files/2023-01/Demography_report_2022_0.pdf
