A whole load of BS. Ask the Chinese and Indians citizens of that country on how it feels living under an apartheid like system. And that's not taking into consideration the endemic corruption and Islamist agenda. Malaysia was a country that could have been(compare Singapore), instead it will always be a mediocre and semi-developed corrupt nation like most countries in that region. A great place for a holiday or rich Westerners to retire, but a person of colour would want to stay away. The so called Bumiputera have all but destroyed that nation and if not for the Chinese it would just be another Indonesia.

So why would anyone want to invest in the Netherlands? Great way to scare off foreign investors. And all over some trumped-up charge. Where is the evidence that the company was a “nest of spies”?

Amen to that. I would have said a “sizeable population” instead.
If you cannot outrun a cassowary, you deserve to get eaten. Another reason why I refuse to believe that obesity is a genetically predisposed disease because that gene would have been eliminated a long time ago from our nomadic days by the sabre tooth lions and packs of hyenas.

Can this be circumvented if it got sent to Australia first and from there to the States? Obviously, there is an additional cost. Or is Australia going to get hammered with 145% tariffs?

Spot on article. A bit of a whinge.
Have "worked" continuously for thirty+ years in IT because I am wired for it. It has never been about the paycheck. But I have yet to see a company that is neurodivergent friendly in all those countries I have worked before. If they say they are, most times it's just tokenism. Worst culprits are Asian companies, HR and upper management. So I quit, get kicked out or forced to move on. These environments are always never designed for someone different. And when you stand alone, you become an easy target. p.s never tell your colleagues that you have never "worked" a day in your entire life because they will misinterpret it as being a miscreant and not because you love what you do.

The journey is just as critical as the destination. AI robs us off this experience and takes us straight to the destination. It creates a dull, single track outcome oriented mindset. For example, in mathematics your calculations and how you got to the answer is just as significant as the answer.

All modern day cities are bad for your health, not just some. They are fully dependent on fossil fuels. Fossil fuels(in one form or another) are the root cause of most diseases. Unfortunately, there is no way we can extricate ourselves out of this mess.

On-premise version of Passwordstate. The even have a free 5 user license to trial it out. Integrates pretty well with your browser via a plugin and has a gazillion options. Permissions to passwords can be set at the individual passwords. And no I don't work for Passwordstate, just another satisfied customer.
