Nice curated list! I think I’ll check some of them out for my own self hosted solution

It’s to help your thesis be more sound and robust.

Yes, go on, tell me how much of an expert you are, even though you neither speak the language and nor experienced life in Japan.

I lived in both western Europe and Japan, multiple cities. Life is great in both places. You highlighted few metrics that Japan is worse in. Can you do the same with western Europe? Otherwise, you sound ridiculously biased and delusional as the Internet expert.

Yes, Japan, economy that almost surpassed US, has fallen that low to be compared to western Europe. 🙄

Japan and Korea must be wastelands

Nice!

For someone unfamiliar, can you explain why someone would host PDFs? Are there any organisations that already do this?

Also, what would be the difference between this and pdf.js (e.g. Firefox viewer) when it comes to the viewer?

Don’t use Bol. They rip you off exactly the same as Amazon, even though you find the exact same product from exact same factory listed on Temu/Ali at 10% of the cost.

I generally recommend to avoid Dutch retail. East European retails tend to be more efficient, though still not as efficient as the Chinese.

Damn shame, Trump. I’m lowering my buy tax by $5.

Good point, but there are other reasons, like just be social, as well as sticking it up to the AAA studios.

Sorry, I meant ‘removed’ and all other forms of it.

Well, the multiplayer games could have single player modes also. I believe one of the problems previously was because the single player games required Internet connection and sign in and whatnot.

It can be any game. The idea just stemmed from these problems. I mean, who’s to say no other types of games will face similar fate in the future?

Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Sweden have all repealed them. Wealth taxes survive only in Norway, Spain, and Switzerland.

I’m unsure how America specifically is relevant here.

You can call it unsupported, but the economics literature would just call you uninformed.

We do have some forms of wealth taxing, for example land or building ownership. Home leasing is the one of the few surviving methods of wealth taxing because the rent numbers are clear even over time.

What are these called? What brands and models?

Taxing the wealth would be repeating history and policy mistakes. They already tried since decades ago. They all abolished it because it doesn’t work. It’s 1) difficult to execute and 2) impossible to calculate.

Finally, first real feasible comment about EU catching up to US and China. This is how countries like Korea, despite how tiny it is compared to the EU, still grow so well economically and stay #1 in various areas of competition. They play ‘catch up then compete’ game so well and are probably the best at it. They become #2 or top 5 or whatever in many things, synthesise them together to become #1. Even integrated solutions of these #2 offerings combined are what makes their packaged offerings so compelling.

I thought they were already! Didn’t realise visa would be needed.
