@Vanalich77 @verkehrt3 @vrexec That’s also the cliche of the year. Multiculturalism brings a lot of good foreign dishes. Dutch dish is indeed simple

@verkehrt3 @vrexec If you can put up with the miserable weather and awful food, then maybe hehe

Been living in Europe 3 years now with my wife and two kids More and more questions lately about whether/when we’ll move back to the US We don’t know My Dutch and EU friends are typically shocked after I explain to them that, despite a 50% top income tax and a global unrealized wealth tax, we would still net far less disposable income in the US than the Netherlands, for example. Health+dental insurance for a family of 4 in the NL costs ~€350/month with a ~€300/year deductible which the Dutch call “eigen risico” or “own risk” We rent a 4 bedroom ground floor apartment with a huge back garden in arguably the most desirable part of the city… and pay less than our mortgage in New Jersey in 2020 when we had a 3% interest rate. We don’t own cars. Transportation is super cheap relatively.. I estimate 10-20% cheaper because we bike, walk, tram, train.. rent a car when needed for short trips. Kids go to a school that costs €0/year that costs $40,000/year in New Jersey.

@DanielSmidstrup Why answer on this seemingly sarcastic question?

USA has ChatGPT USA has Grok USA has Claude USA has Gemini China has DeepSeek China has Qwen China has Kimi China has MiniMax Europe has?

@HerrRebelein Not if I hear the English pronunciation - Gooda

Niederländer lieben Käse so sehr, dass sie sogar eine ganze Stadt danach benannt haben

@ecommerceshares Europe didn’t opt out of AI. It optimized regulation, privacy & stability while the US & China optimized for scale, hyperscalers & strat.dominance. EU didn’t miss semiconductors:ASML is critical for advanced AI chips. problem is EU dominates pieces of stack,not full AI ecosystem.

Why has Europe decided to completely stay out of artificial intelligence race? Serious question. They’re not even trying. I really don’t get it.

@klaasm67 The RSV Verolme scandal; we had a thriving ship building industry in the northern part of Amsterdam

Dutchmen, what made us stop building these beautiful ships? 🇳🇱

@ClinchShortdt @Eng_china5 And not India, East Indies(later Indonesia)

@Eng_china5 Dutch taking a moral stance is hilarious- look up the Dutch India Trading Company ask the Dutch about South Africa and the Congo. They’re part of the same hypocrisy

Dutch Queen Máxima Declines Standing Next to President Trump in Group Photo Dutch Queen Máxima refused to stand next to President Donald Trump during the official group photo, prompting protocol officers to intervene and rearrange the positions of the king and queen, while Dutch Prime Minister Rob Jetten was pushed to a less prominent spot. President Trump and First Lady Melania welcomed King Willem‑Alexander and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands at the White House. The Dutch king also declined to raise his hand with Trump in the “OK” gesture during the photo session.

Switching CI/CD tools still means rewriting your pipelines.The same steps: deploy, scan, promote looks different in every tool. Not because the intent changes, but because the tool dictates it. Read more about it in this article: shorturl.at/f76h0 @CDeliveryFdn #cicd

@janintheUSA @lin912025 @maartenpodcast De cijfers kloppen globaal, maar de conclusie niet. Onder Obama speelde de shale-boom en OPEC strategie, onder Trump COVID (vraaguitval), onder Biden vooral Oekraïne/sancties. Dat zijn de drivers van >$100, niet de president

@lin912025 @maartenpodcast Vertel me wat hier feitelijk niet waar aan is: De olieprijs was onder Obama bijna 3 jaar lang boven $100. Onder Biden 6 maanden. Onder Trump nog geen dag boven de $100

Dat autoritaire spelletje van Trump waar men nu over klaagt? Dat hebben diezelfde Amerikanen zelf besteld bij de stembus. Nu de boel in Iran ontploft, is er paniek. 8 miljoen demonstranten veranderen niets aan het feit dat de kiezer collectief heeft gefaald. #NoKings #Iran #Trump

@Mio_Mind Glad there’s Indians Superman to save us all

We now have Indian guys telling Europeans they don’t have tech and we suck. Unbelievable. Totally delusional. Everybody loves hating Europe. Actually not a bad position to be in.

@RektByHielke @oost_marcel Guido van Rossem

@oost_marcel You forgot Elasticsearch is also a Dutch company, and Python was invented in the Netherlands, which is one of the backbones of the AI field.

The Netherlands 🇳🇱 is the most valuable tech nation in Europe 🇪🇺 A country of 18M… dominating a continent of 450M 🤯 With ASML alone worth more than the entire top 10 of most European countries, the Dutch have built a tech ecosystem that punches absurdly above its weight for a country of 18 million people. Cool to see @Adyen and @MolliePayments representing FinTech on this list 👌

@Starkiller_29 @Crackity0Jones @oost_marcel Without the equipment to land your beautiful models on there is none

@Crackity0Jones @oost_marcel Well there’s a huge difference with a company making software and AI language models. ASML is important but it’s first and foremost hardware. It’s comparable to GAFAM, Mistral, OpenAI and so on…

@SimaoBatata @pietro_di_walsi @oost_marcel @BartMaes16 All led by Indians

@pietro_di_walsi @oost_marcel @BartMaes16 Same could be said about almost every company with a similar or higher market cap. Massive international workforce in all of those: NVIDIA, Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet/Google, Amazon, Meta...

@JustRouzbeh @joni_vrbt I worked for US commercial companies. So much bureaucracy…

Europe has useless bureaucracy, that is for sure, and I’m genuinely tired of it Besides that, I don’t think it is necessary for the EU to build its own AI solution. Why reinvent the wheel? Even Apple, after spending years on AI, seems to have reached a similar conclusion and is partnering with Google to use Gemini for future Apple Intelligence features instead of doing everything in house China has a different story, they need their own systems to control people and data

USA has ChatGPT USA has Grok USA has Claude USA has Gemini USA has Llama USA has Copilot China has DeepSeek China has Qwen China has Ernie China has GLM China has Kimi China has MiniMax Europe has?

@BarnZ010 @saylordocs Its the North Sea connecting to the Atlantic Ocean

@saylordocs This is not the ocean its a river.

How the Netherlands outsmarted the ocean with technology.

@DrNeilStone mRNA vaccines don’t alter DNA and don’t persist in the body. The mRNA gives cells short-lived instructions to make a harmless spike protein, then degrades within days. Large studies of billions show no excess mortality.

"Everybody who has an mRNA injection will die within 3 to 5 years, even if they have had only one injection" said Delores Cahill Anyone out there 5 years or more after the vaccine and still alive? ✋

@jkloprog Heeft te maken met het tijdsvak waarin het gecomponeerd is "de Modernen" , daarvoor de "Romantiek", etc

#jamai stuk van bijna 100 jaar geleden noemen ze modern.

@MarioCopaCabana @RRonald27 @the_transit_guy It comes from smart urban planning....

Two different suburbs built at the same time in South Carolina and the Netherlands. What do you notice? (Same scale)

@MarioCopaCabana @ChrisO_wiki @_kitchendoor @the_transit_guy I've walked to many suburbs in the US. Not walkable, on many places no sidewalks , shops are miles away and concetrated in big malls. Not meant for walking, but driving.

@SouthHampUpper1 @Boenau Isn’t about the size of a country, it’s all about urban planning. In the US most living areas are separated far from city centers or shops. US is a car country

American bike advocates routinely (and correctly) talk about Dutch design being a gold standard. e.g. the Dutch roundabout x.com/i/status/17138…

@selmarsmit Mee eens

@MNEMONIC01 Nah C2000 werkt ook niet ideaal 🤣

Werken opsporingsteams nou echt met amateur tooltjes(zoals Signal)? Het doet een beetje amateuristisch aan #hunted #huntednl
