How many km walking would that be? 4 min total must be a short distance.

That can be 4 or 10 miles. Likely closer to the latter if bus connection takes 40 minutes.

Now be a frail 70 year old in the winter (+2°C and rain).

Breeze.


Not the OP, but walking may not be feasible. Sometimes the only connection is a road dangerous for pedestrians. Freezing or scorching or rainy weather is another problem.

You made a throwaway account just to defend Epstein? Jesus.

Probably worst comment I have seen on HN tbh.

Health insurance? Are you sure you are talking about welfare states and not America? Which welfare state has expensive education and health insurances?

Hungary is a welfare state.

Do you think American tourists have to take a Filipino driver’s license when they rent a car on vacation?

Yea, I don’t think that will be the case. Spreadsheets simplified the work of junior finance people who did all the work by hand before. But more people work in finance now than before.

Would love to hear that explanation why it is IMPOSSIBLE (not that Rust would be faster or use less resources but why it can’t be written)

That is obviously not true. You don’t even define what a welfare state is or when a country stops being a welfare state.

Can you define it then? What point does it start and what point does it stop being a welfare state.

It is a very abstract term. It is like ”democracy”. Yes, you can clearly say that North Korea is not a democracy. But US? Well, depends on who you ask.

Same with welfare state. Which countries do you count as non-welfare states? And when do they stop being a welfare state? Let’s take Poland as an example. When do they stop being a welfare state? If they lower the unemployment payments, will they stop being a welfare state?

And at what timescale do you think Poland will stop existing because of demographics?

This is just derailing the topic from a french office suite into some sort of political statement about immigration. Looking at this green account's other two comments, it's all troll...

Let’s take Poland. They are a welfare state. They don’t have open borders for illegals. Not sure what you are talking about. Let me guess you are American who never set foot in Poland and just assume it has open borders?

I feel the opposite. Frameworks and standardization becomes even more important when using AI.
