@compliantvc Netherlands is a great place to live and work, not to mention a secret tech giant. Hilarious that you post about quality of life then people reply about money. #GrossDomesticHappiness

My friend works in tech in Amsterdam He makes a top 1% income (€58k) Leaves work at 4:15pm sharp (work end time closely enforced by government) Commutes home via bike (only 7 minutes) Kids walk home from free daycare a few minutes later He never has to worry about medical bills or saving for retirement Yet gets to work for one of the most innovative startups in the world (it's a GDPR consulting business) Tell me again why America is the best place for tech workers?

Once upon a time, many years ago, Twitter was a great place for fintech data, innovation, and discourse. Today X is a cesspit polluting my feed with irrelevant rubbish, in many cases being incorrect and/or illegal. Sad

@itsolelehmann Estonia

what is the country in europe with the most pro-entrepreneur/pro-growth mindset? talking about general sentiment, not tech bubble sentiment in these countries

@Guardtime @Wise @IDme @monese @go_lightyear @Veriff We predict further success but, on this day, simply celebrate Estonia’s freedom and bravery to change. Elagu Eesti 🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪🇪

@Guardtime @Wise @IDme @monese @go_lightyear @Veriff The journey has not always been smooth, especially as relates to Crypto, which saw malpractice until policy makers cracked down. Overall, however, FinTech has generated significant tax revenues, exports, wealth, connections and confidence.

Happy restoration of Independence Day to Estonia. In 34 years since escaping Kremlin rule, the country has built a strong society, democracy and economy. FinTech has been central to this journey.

@ResearchEnlight I am sure they will chop a few patients rather chop they budget

Tervisekassa Sweden, in old Ericsson factory in outskirts of Stockholm (rent was halved vs. prev. location)

The annual huge #LockedShields cyber security exercise, organised by a great @ccdcoe team in Tallinn, is a great chance to hone nations' cyber security abilities. Kudos @ncsc_gov_ie & @defenceforces for rep'ing 🇮🇪 so well in our team with 🇺🇸🇬🇷🇧🇬. independent.ie/irish-news/ins…

@EuromaidanPR Incorrect, there are international air and sea routes in the Baltic region, he would have gone in at St Petersburg. He remains a duplicitous sh!t nonetheless.

This is how the President of Slovakia flew to Moscow

Today we say goodbye @Finnair due to unclear messaging around ticket changes. You could have resold the ticket and kept us as a client. Hello @SAS!

Not only is this appalling, it is funded by the UK taxpayer @Keir_Starmer @ace_national

@patrickc Average is down but top performers get smarter. I see this in Estonian school and olympiad system. Good support from government and IT industry like @boltapp and @taavet

This week, a math professor at MIT told me that incoming students are, on average, noticeably worse at math than they used to be. Harvard, of course, just added a remedial math class, Math MA5, "aimed at rectifying a lack of foundational algebra skills among students".

@FT The law suits will likely outweigh savings, might be better to start with the many companies receiving false subsidies

The US president has moved to constrain Elon Musk’s cost-cutting task force, ordering his cabinet to ensure the ​'most productive​' civil servants are exempted from sweeping lay-offs that have wreaked havoc across the ​c​ountry. ​on.ft.com/4bxrNBf

@GCraughwell I saw a senior IE cabinet minister on a night flight to the Nordics recently. Sat in the cheap seats, they bought a muffin for dinner and read 2 massive briefing packs. Next day they tweeted modestly and received abuse. There must be a more effective way...

Europe’s largest pension fund sold its entire €571 million stake in Tesla partly due to disagreement with Elon Musk’s remuneration package. trib.al/JCFSxz9

@lexfridman @ZelenskyyUa Why do you not use your real birth name?

Here's my conversation with Volodymyr Zelenskyy (@ZelenskyyUa). It was an intense and heartfelt conversation, my goal for which was to do my small part in pushing for peace. We spoke in a mix of 3 languages: English, Ukrainian, and Russian. It's fully dubbed in each of those 3 languages. The original (mixed-language version) is available as well. So the options are: - Audio: English, Ukrainian, Russian, Original (Mixed) - Subtitles: English, Ukrainian, Russian It's available here on X and everywhere else. On X, I'm uploading the Full English overdub version. The other versions will be available on YouTube (see comment thread).

@ecb You are focused on corporate and institutional, almost zero support for retail investors

When returns on safe assets fall, investors move some of their money to riskier assets. #TheECBBlog shows: US Treasuries are replaced by global bonds, while German Bunds substitutes are mostly from Europe.
