  • I get what you mean about working with people/customers directly. You know you don’t always end up with the job that you think you’re studying for. Life can be really dynamic and you simply have to go with it. It’s impossible to tell where you’ll end up. The strangest jobs are connected.

    I mean one time I met a guy from Germany who climbs trees in Guyana. Who knows how he ended up doing that.

    And I know a coder who became a horse shoe blacksmith. And a trashman who became a mathematician.

    If you don’t enjoy coding then maybe that’s not your call but there’s so many jobs surrounding it and it’s good to connect to others in your school.







  • Tja, a lot of people here think it’s a good thing because there unfortunately are a lot of asshats, and so they don’t give it a second thought. The simple fact is that in the Netherlands people have a great general trust in people, and it has a long history of independence, so there’s simply no fear of democracy breaking down.

    And from that perspective it is totally reasonable to want the extra surveillance. As long as you trust that it is used for good.

    Honestly I think Berlin is the one that is in the right position to move privacy forward, given its history, culture, and significant hacker demography.
