I recall HIBP documents their hashing protocol so that it should be possible to have a non-web client you can trust more.
I'm a Finn. I personally interpret that survey as Finland being the least unhappy place. There's a social safety net, health care is taken care of, you know your life won't get destroyed by the slightest misfortune, you get a good education for free, your surroundings are generally safe and well maintained, you feel safe & are fairly certain nothing bad will happen, there are people around you who share your values, life is good.
Things that for example the article author's favorite USA does not have. But of course a Murkin' can't accept that. I fully expect him to gripe that somehow the Corruption Perceptions Index is also somehow unfair to his favorite country too, and just cannot be right.
And maybe check what Finland is doing with its military and what happened around World War II before saying that USA pays "most of our defense".
What's really rich is Americans deciding they no longer like their self-assigned World Police role, and managing to blame their supposed allies for that. Never underestimate the quality of Russian psyops, I guess.
These are America's choices. And it's America's choice whether to wield these in world-leading competitiveness or as ossified self-serving bureaucracy.
Other countries make other choices about where to do world-leading R&D (that Americans can take advantage of as lower prices). Chinese solar, for example.
That's not even a server, that's a GPU. There's often 2-4 H100 cards per 1U of server, so a 4U server could have 8 of those. This whole satellite hosts something like 1/168th of a rack of compute, and the GPU only causes only about 100W of heat.
I guess the Nordic societies have to really equal then, because I can't remember ever even hearing of anyone donating anything to a single school. Like.. there's nothing in the system for a school to even be prepared to even own a donation. A school over there doesn't manage a financial fund, it runs on an annual municipal budget. It's all tax money.
The parent commenter put it well, philanthropy is just the rich convincing [America] that things are fine.
My absolute favorite is toasts that stay on screen just long enough for me to realize there was an "Undo" button in the toast. What action did I just accidentally perform and why can't I undo it after the 0.3 second toast disappears?
Also, your first N refunds are automatic for smaller prices. I think the only reason GP needed to talk to a human was the larger price. But once you're used the mechanism a few times, the site starts offering the benefits of good customer service less and less.
I don't know if it's individual, regional or country-wide, but I've lost free UPS pickups for returns and I'm offered free trials way less often now.
