> Spain is “making a big mistake,” said Bart Groothuis [...] “Spain is now dependent on the country with the largest and most sophisticated offensive espionage program directed against us.”
I highly doubt he's naive enough to believe the "against us" qualifier exempts the operator of the largest and most sophisticated offensive espionage program ever.
I will never understand this helplessness that comes from these European countries. They are choosing to be dependent on foreign powers.

At least they are doing stuff for the people

Immigration on Hacker News is like the dumbest topic here. Nobody considers any downsides of any sort, just lockstep agreement that it is a fundamental good.
Yet a single change to the behavior of Postgres will be met with wild, exuberant debate.

I'm mocking your religious belief.
It's around 55–60% of immigrants who come from Spanish-speaking countries.
Also, this uses official numbers, which reflect a larger Spanish speaking share than there is in reality (as people from Spanish-speaking countries have more straightforward visa processes).
So the real percentage is probably much lower (as there are a lot of undocumented migrants. 1.2 million applied for "legalization").
Japan has an aging problem and a big misogyny problem too.
Say, I heard France has great cuisine, but I had street food in Paris and it was meh.
A country with narcissistic criminal as leader who damages the US science for decades, kills people by dismantling USAID. The raising costs because of his four-week-war against Iran doesn’t help either but damages the economy worldwide.
I think that can be consistent with Trump destroying the long term future of the country and the planet.
