whenever someone is boasting about how the scandinavia is a paradise I'd suggest reading this article in Guardian http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jan/27/scandinavian-mi...

There's a good follow-up to your article, where 5 writers answer:

Spot-on. Also, don't get me started on mobile internet and broadband. Every time I go to America it's like going to a 3rd world country.

America is big and as different as Europe. Even though most Americans speak English, it's not a uniform country as us Europeans think. But don't confuse the people with the state. They're not the same. The Americans I met were generally quite nice and willing to help an (obvious) tourist out. Bureaucrats? They thrive in chaos.

Is this a test of whether anyone actually reads these articles? Every 3rd paragraph has a viagra spam-link inserted in the middle of a sentence.

Are you commenting on the wrong article by chance? I don't see any of that. If you're even remotely serious I'd take a good look at your machine/system.

I'm reading on an iPad, so the risk of system infection is negligible.

However, I just switched on my home VPN and the links disappeared. Time to talk to someone in netops, methinks.

By definition the US can't be like a 3rd world country (hint: 3rd world country is not what I think you mean to say [1])

I get this too, and only on this site. In Chrome, FF and IE. Maybe the site is infected, and the presence of the spam depends on the visitor's country.

EDIT: The spam is present also when browsing from a Linux VM.

I'm apparently not supposed to cry at funerals and I'm less of a man because of my nationality. The more you know...

> All of a sudden, we were forced to figure out, how much we actually sold in each of those states, where we hired people

Not to be offensive, but differences in state rules should have been expected, given the name of the country. How hard do you think it would be to get a random sample of 50 people to decide on a movie? Now swap people with territories and movie with governance.

This blog post is just ranting and whinging that some paperwork had to be done when starting a business on foreign soil.

I worry about the quality of Razuna as a product if attention to filling out a form is a huge ask.

> In the US, however, it’s like being in the 70’s in Denmark. In a country, where the NSA supposedly reads all my email, knows how much money I make, what I ate for breakfast and what color underwear I prefer, I cannot report electronically to the authorities!

Well, the plan was to keep the incredible advancements in (mass surveillance) technology secret from the citizens, in order not to be stopped.
