Like high frequency trading players front-running trades, faking liquidity, manipulating prices, and changing infrastructure to benefit them to really screw people that want to buy or sell stocks? Never heard of anyone getting prosecuted by the legal system for that (besides for taking HFT code with them, but never for screwing a normal buyer or seller).

Edit: It would be great if there was more moral in finance, but I think that's wishful thinking and doesn't really distinguish traditional finance or Defi. The only nice thing about Defi is that everyone can see what's going on in contrast to what happens when you do something in traditional finance.

It's only marketing. There is no integrated assistant. It's a plain old button that can be used to activate one of these useless voice assistants on your phone because some people like it. If you're like me, you can use it as an extra control to modify noise cancellation.

They already expensed $3 B last quarter.

It's really about planning. Modern Swiss towns mostly consist of high density buildings with parking underground and most of the areas around the buildings are for walking & biking. The really good thing about high density is that it allows for much more efficient public transport which reduces the need for cars.

Teach them QWERTY. I use Programmer's Dvorak and I love it. But I also have a very specialized setup and everything optimized for myself. Your kids will have to work with different setups in the next decade or two. For them it's more important to be flexible. Later when they specialized themselves and only work in an environment they control they can switch and choose whatever fits them.

You mean like the Dark Ages?

Incinerating toilets also work with propane, which makes more sense for vans etc. I didn't check this specific one but they all work similar no matter what creates the heat.

Did you check inside your company. E.g. Google gives a lot of freedom to people with 10+ years with them and I know at least one other company in the same area, which did it with even less. So might not be the worst idea to look for something remote friendly in your current company.

What happens when the battery is dead on this device? Why can't they make a simple USB C stick and focus an security instead of adding new potential entry points?

The problem with that is that it depends on what you measure (same with GDP if e.g. education is free). E.g. Germany and Switzerland have different branches in education that are well regarded but you don't go to university (e.g. nurses go to university in the US and thus count in your statistic but in Germany they get a special multi-year training which is not counted)

It's an advantage to have wealthy and/or educated parents no matter what kind of system you have. But in Germany your chances are much better than in the US. No one in my family went to university before me and I had disadvantages because of that. But you still have excellent opportunities and just lack the advise of experienced parents/friends and perhaps are more risk-averse (but with Bafög you'll get some help there (monetary support if your parents don't earn enough)).

Memory usage is still terrible with Java but at least there are plans to address part of it with value types etc. But for a web service performance is pretty good (just look at techempower benchmarks and the fact that most high scale companies use Java for a significant part of their infrastructure). If you need to talk about startup time you don't need scalablitiy or really want a different solution/architecture.

At least EU citizens should have no problem to immigrate at the moment.

Can't tell much about contractors but e.g. Google pays you 10-15% more in Zurich than in Mountain View and you pay much less taxes (and you don't have capital gains here). It's more expensive to live here but you'll still have much more left because of the tax advantages here.
