Yes and no: The bank wants 2% as interests, but inflation is 3%

--> The Bank effectively loses money

The few bad/worse developers are then 10% and would have to be really bad

The property (the house) is "inflation free/resistant":

Money is subject to inflation, because houses (and other goods) rise in price / money is watered down.

So: You may have no gain, but your savings are protected from dropping 5 to 9 percent each year, if "you have it invested in real estate".

Sounds good to me.

... which is "okay", since you can only access it (the admin web console) from within your wlan/lan (and not the internet) and ofc you can/should change it during setup

It's the people that make up a country

And the country itself

Yeah, make the poor pay more

That's the solution!

They depend on government handouts or other donations and making them pay more will solve the problem now

How can so many people have and believe (and force upon others) such a twisted narrative?

Ofc "Bio-Deutsche" are very well-behaved and engage in typical Street-Crimes like you see in typical countries (e.g. Brasil) much less

You just go to work 1 day and you have 200€ more, no need to steal

How can so many people run around with such distorted narratives and force them down the throats of other people??

> If we spread out all the worldwide social welfare resources among all the people

We need to do this, everything else is nationalism

Unf. I don't think your calculations sum up

And yes: It's called "costs of living" and you ignore it (to be higher in the west") and then you blame them (for your own wishful ignorance)

Where do you live?

Wow, that's like 100% scripted to please the target audience

He says things and expresses himself in a way, which is in strong violation with social norms and hacker news guidelines. How could that be?

Unfortunately​ I primarily see failings on your side _to be tolerant_:

Isn't it fair that others may mistake your origins and are interested in them ?

Is it good or bad that you "clearly" look like someone from place X from earth or that people put you origins in the wrong place? Should they surpress their curiosity? Moving somewhere on earth is so easy today, getting rid of your dna totally not

The last one isn't nice though and I'd wish I was so carismatic that others always reacted in a positive way towards me, but they don't. We are all subject to the judgment of others, may it be positive or negative

It's about restricting access: One is protecting others; The second is protection within your own realm. Both are needed (Unix was just like: At least don't touch the data / system that other users have)

The attempts of the EU try to make Europe something like a country ("United States of Europe") and yes, Europe is much more segmented (yet alone by languages​, but also culturally). We all know the problems (a money union without a full political union and Brussel dictating to formally self-determined states/countries). You are twisting reality

true!

And the ones drawing the big bucks are unhappy if you tax them with 80%

It's a dilemma

The interesting part is that humans go through different phases (decades/centuries), where different skills are required: Native Indians in Middle America weren't strong enough to work on the plantations, so Africans were brought in. Today there are probably more Africans living in the Carrebian, since they once made the money to attract a female, make it a wife (marry here, very important for women) and then have a family (kids), which some/most Native Americans maybe didn't achive, since no job/money (and thus no true love ;)

kids without parents have certainly a reduced success-expectancy in life

It's interesting, that poor people have "so many children", normal people "just 2" and the rich again many... seems like everyone has their reasons/strategy:

Rich people can just have as many kids as they like. Normal people as they can sustain and​ poor people are just pounding them out with good hope that some/any will make it

I think we are wired to evolutionally survive (and also put arsenals​ of mechanisms against others)

The strategies vary between rich, poor and average people (I'd consider you and me to be average)

Average people would always point to the rich or poor for making mistakes plus discrediting other "average" people to not take the right measures

Poor people have a lot of kids in hope that ~2 survive. Rich people drain the planet and average people accuse other average people to not have saved enough of the poor people's children

Any bank could "just" spend your money on your account

The central bank just prints money and​ thus steals 'value' from you (devaluation)

It's a matter of trust into an entity

Starbucks has these machines and I find it awesome to get my coffee and even chilled latte there for 2,50 instead of 5 or 6 $

The machines taking our jobs is already happening and it is due to our human nature that we are not seeing it: We extrapolate the past into the future and we are seeing physical robots

As some of you (technical people) can better imagine it is and will be much more 'just' software (but a journalist can't that well)

The "reduced" demand for nannys is 'kids playing with their iPhones' and it is already here and going stronger

What will we pay people for in the future? That they are likeable, sympathetic and because 'we like to "interact" with them'?

Seems like this would split the world into very hard skilled people programming the machines and a lot of people catering "what's left" (on the human side, that machines can't do / didn't replace yet) to those

Luckily I am a software developer

"Doctors to explain the recommendations": You could also say "Selling the pills of the Pharma Industry with low regards to side effects"

"Nurses to provide hands-on care": I see "Human Issues" like: She's telling you all her problems she has at home and you have to listen

Tell me the Internet isn't better in quality (than "real random people") already?
