Alternative framing: If you have to earn money and pay income tax, you are not really rich.

Well let it be known that just because a framing is "alternative" does not mean it is insightful, interesting, or true.

I think the article points quite well out, these profits cannot be taken at face value, if they are financend by Nvidia in the form of investments.

Well, Spain is fairly sparsely populated in the interior compared to France or Germany: https://maps-spain.com/maps-spain-geography/spain-population...

Then you have the Pyrenees between the Iberian peninsula and France. Aside from being mountainous, also fairly low population density, and rather poorer regions to the point that you'll find abandoned villages.

So, the only sensible connections are along the Mediterranean (Catalonia) or the Atlantic coast (Basque Country).

Another reason is that Spain has high-speed rails only since the nineties.

IRC, just in the recent years, there was a high-speed connection built to the Basque Country (from Madrid). From the Basque Country you can go to France with a light rail.

So, the only high-speed connection is along the Mediterranean.

In a way, it's a center/periphery problem.

France is prioritising connections from/to Paris, Spain from/to Madrid.

Unless either side improves the network at their side of the border, it also makes limited sense to improve yours.

The EU is funding that.

SAP also uses Openstack.

There's probably few technologies SAP doesn't use. That's a long way off from all of these cloud offerings being based on OpenStack though.

I doubt thats the case.

It is not "not contributing more", it is not committing to tripling or quadrupling the defense spending.

That number is purely posturing. Or if you want to frame it more positively: aspirational.

Germany struggles to even meet the previously agreed 2% goal.

I doubt, anyone takes that number seriously.

I create a malicious chart or compromise one you use (with symlink to an arbitrary file and code).

You download charts either as a tarball from a helm repo or oci registry with helm and helm will create the files and links with your permissions, and send me whatever I wanted to extract from your system.

Yes, you should check things you download from the internet. But also, that is not how a chart is supposed to work.

As noted in other comments, a symlink is just a text reference to a file. It does not need to be created on the host system.

> The next piece that concerned me was GDPR which required EU citizens data to be processed in the EU.

That's wrong. It can be processed outside the EU, provided the country has laws providing adequate protections comparable (or better) than the GDPR.

Here more details: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/i...

It is being done in countries like Switzerland and Norway. Not exactly poor countries.

As I understand, in both cases, the tax resident has to declare their global (netto) wealth and have to pay a small percentage (close or less than 1%) of that wealth.

Don't you ever had tax obligations due to shares? Sell-to-cover is one solution. But I suspect at that scale you get enough dividends from these companies to cover.
