US company. R&D is more important than the fabs. TSMC is under threat from China.
Gee I wonder why the US gov showered TSMC in money to build a fab on US soil.

Yeah and it turns out if you lie to enough little disparate groups you can become supreme ruler!
Maybe dump isnt really a racist, or a crystal rubbing brain worm yoga mom... but he sure tricked them into voting for him. He actually did more than most politicians and actually did each of them a tiny solid rather than just ignore them after winning too
Unless you chronically need healthcare. In that case: good luck.

The Swiss public transport ticketing system. Their app uses location services to automatically determine your fare, so you don’t need to buy tickets in advance: https://www.sbb.ch/en/travel-information/apps/sbb-mobile/eas....
As a bonus there are no ticket barriers so no queues and no overheads of maintaining those machines.
I don't understand how so many tech-minded people on this site completely disregard the value of privacy. How is this a win?

Instant free bank transfers by IBAN.
In comparison with how tightly-guarded personal email addresses are protected (GDPR, etc.), it's shocking how common it is to freely give out your IBAN.
Not sure if I understand correctly, but are you saying that IBAN leaks personal information?

If I can go the other way - one thing the USA has that Europe, at least, doesn’t - the ADA.
US businesses are basically all wheelchair accessible - easily, too. Most sidewalks have curb cuts at street crossings. Ramps are commonplace.
This is NOT the cause in Europe, and not only in the historic old buildings.
Even using a stroller is noticeably different; I can’t imagine being in a wheelchair in some cities.
This depends on where in Europe. From personal experience of a relative (going back 20+ years), the Netherlands is very accessible by wheelchair.
