Trump was elected twice. This time, his vice-president is absolutely someone who would continue the same policies, albeit in a more sober way.

I am not sure you understand the damage this administration has done.

Are you manufacturing in the UK as well? Saw on your site you are hiring mechanical engineers here.

If Bill Gates offers megamoney for farmland, and Alex Karp offers megamoney for lumber, then it encourages the creation of more farmland and lumber.

Although looking at Levels.fyi, salaries in London are significantly more than Singapore, and that's with the CoL apparently being higher in Singapore.

I'm not sure it applies to SV either. Like definitely some, but not even most.

Basically two things:

* I target jobs I've got an advantage at (e.g. they use backend Kotlin, which is a bit niche but I have several years experience in).

* I'm friendly, talkative, and if the energy is right, will banter. Doesn't sound like much but being easy to talk to is a massive advantage.

I don't believe this. My latest job hunt was about 6 months ago, I had to stop applying for jobs I got so many callbacks. My CV is decent but hardly outstanding, good experience but no name-brand companies.

I saw another comment where you said you are in Russia, my guess is that is the reason. Not like there's much consumer tech investment flowing there at the moment.

Next AGI test, when model companies have consistently good version branding.

I'm in North London, 500 entries for me, including several pubs.

About half the homes I've lived in (maybe a dozen?) were built before WW1. Lots of Victorian conversions.

There are comments here saying yes, rationing is planned.

Meta went absolutely haywire on one of my sites a couple months ago.

Their revenue is up, why is them investing more a bad thing?

Why do you think their revenue is up?

I have a bottle of Niagara icewine downstairs I'm very much looking forward to!

That's just not true, a flow on gov.uk can involve a lot of pages but they are exceedingly clear and easy to navigate.

Surely this just means Justworks is your HR team?

My local Morrisons has a few decent 3.4% ales for £1-£1.25, I am a loyal customer.

My local supermarket sells 3.4% ales for £1 each, it's fantastic.

The damage from WW2 to Europe was not limited to bombing and killing, it includes the economic harm inflicted on Eastern Europe in the decades afterwards by the Soviets.

Europe does build ships, even if East Asia dominates. But the US is abnormally low, like it build less tonnage than Finland.

Not everyone can operate civilian ship fleets, managing a global shipping operation is not a "pick up and do it", it requires some build up.

> What a weird one to pick. Do you think the US doesn't have massive ports like Europe?

The US has ports. But they don't build civilian ships, and they don't really own ships either. The vast majority of American ocean-going shipping is floated on ships owned by Europeans and built by East Asians

The rebuilding phase only really got started in the 90s! Integrating the post-communist states was a huge effort that is still arguably going on.

This is expected though, right? Even in Europe, unless you're a verysmall country, most business you deal with is domestic. Do by default, the largest companies mare going to be in the largest economies. Doesn't mean you can't get lucky every now and again, but you are handicapped by not having a large domestic consumption base protected via political independence.

China and the US are continent-scale megastates. Obviously a mid-sized Atlantic island like the UK, or smallish peninsula like Italy, are not going to compete on scale.

I work for a UK fintech that is bank-adjacent, the backend for the apps and the website are the same.

I imagine that if all banking apps go down as a result of war then bank websites, credit cards, basically any other digital financial thing will also be down.

If banking went down we'd have a hell of a time. It's not like I keep 6 months rent in cash on me.

To be fair South Australia is:

* Incredibly sunny

* Incredibly sparely populated

* Functionally winterless

Like it's the perfect setup for solar.

Somewhere like Denmark, Japan, even the US Northeast does not have those.

Nuclear fuel is available from lots of countries, including Canada and Australia, plus deposits in Europe that aren't being minted because uranium is very cheap.

Plus you can stockpile it super easy.

I can't speak for the graduate or American market, but I can tell you the market for reasonably experienced software people in London is hot. Loads of hiring and salaries are going up.
