Or even research experience. In many fields industry is now years ahead and academia lacks the funds and the man power to compete. AI and biotech are two examples.

Imagine two people in a tug of war. One person is determined to pull the other as far as possible to his side. The other person is determined to stay still. Not give in, but also n…

Europe is in many respects more market oriented and capitalist compared to the US. This is entirely not the issue. And, I'm not sure why I need to spell this out to you, but both p…

Dude, I went through the European PhD system and it's not as glamorous as you depict it. First of all, you forgot to mention that the norm is to give contracts of 50% to 75% FTE. S…

The French are onto the right track. If Europe is to recover economically and to win some market share in tech, I fully expect it to come from the French.

To me it seems like the Democrats have a very weird hierarchy and Musk couldn't do any inroads there, because the incumbents at the top of that hierarchy consider him an outsider. …

If the world was run by men, nobody would care about bald dudes.

But overall this is good. Why should we complain? Why would I rather have VCs hoarding their capital?

To a lot of outsiders it honestly looks like to some extent Israel controls US foreign policy. It's not a good look. Why does the US have to tiptoe so much around this issue? Why d…

The far-right parties are on the rise in most EU countries. But in most EU countries they have not managed to make it into government in enough numbers to be relevant, yet. But the…

So what's driving the impeding recession? Shouldn't the economy be on the up swing?

Feels like they were keeping this card in their sleeves for when they needed a popularity boost.

Could one then say that this is partially cultural? Because back in 1932 most EU countries did not even exist in their current state. Let alone all the modern excuses that people g…

A slightly broader question: why does it seem that American capitalists are more entrepreneurial, whereas EU capitalists are more risk averse? If American capitalists are making su…

According to Robert Habeck and the post-Merkel clique, criticizing Israel is antisemitism. Ironically the AfD are Israel sympathizers. But Israeli Jews who have the wrong opinions …

Well Germany is were I live, but if you are any EU citizen you are technically free to come live in Germany, but then you will get your mouth shut and your thoughts policed by the …

We are very fast approaching totalitarianism here in Europe. It is really sad to see. There is basically no free speech anymore and now they want to even track and control our priv…

Exactly. To me it sounds like he's a corporate stooge who tried to steer NPR into being yet another fake centrist outlet, full of tailored opinions.

He did the right thing. He knew he was going to get fired and probably didn't care to work there any longer anyway. At least he managed to grab multiple headlines this way. God ble…

How does VC work in China? How did he get his money? Snooping a bit on Wikipedia, it says that he partnered with his cousin who was some kind of banker.

If Netanyahu was treated with the same ridicule and disdain that Trump was during his four years as POTUS, that would be a huge step in the right direction. But he is not. On Germa…

Here is something I don't understand. Of all the factions in Israeli politics, why is the US supporting the most far-right one? Because support for US amongst Israelis is high eith…

Hard to not feel like we are the baddies on this one. The same coalition could push for a peaceful solution in Israel and Palestine, which would also eliminate Iranian influence in…

No, actually it is not. Stop with this dehumanization of Palestinians. They are human beings. They are not worth less than you just because they are on the other side of the fence.…

It is not the words of one "priest", but of all the Catholics in the compound. And I love how you appended "Palestinian" to try to discredit him, as if a Palestinian's word is not …
