A lot of that is due to the fact that a large percentage of Norwegians are homeowners, and when a 1 bedroom apartment in Oslo can easily cost more than $200,000, well, that will add up quickly.
Their government has 350 billion / 4.7 million = 74,468$ in their oil fund per person including children. So the average person would need to be holding over 100,000$ in debt (including children) for that to balance out which seems fishy to me.
I think the optimal solution would be a world where there are many smaller countries with different forms of government to choose from and moving from one country to another is much simpler than it is now. A United States with less centralized power would achieve many of the same benefits.
It's a way of learning and creating that lends itself well to individual study when more collective forms of study are not designed for learning and creativity.
It's worth noting that Clang is being primarily used with the Mach kernel which is heavily influenced by BSD. I don't know enough of the specifics to say whether or not this would make compiling FreBSD easier than the Linux kernel, but I suspect it might.
Actually, Mach and BSD have bupkis in common. It simply so happens that OS X uses a reasonable amount of BSD user-land code in OS X to make compatibility easier. This probably makes porting FreeBSD to clang easier indirectly--the user-land tools and libraries from the BSDs are written in the same style as the kernel, and so supporting them likely makes supporting the kernel easier that much easier--but saying Mach is similar to BSD is like saying Windows NT is similar to DOS simply because it can run DOS programs.
You're technically correct in regards to Mach, but in the context of Mac OS X a very large percentage of the kernel is composed of BSD-derived code.
Unfortunately, none of this is particularly relevant to clang, as the kernel design (in respect to Mach or BSD) really has little bearing on its compiliability.
[Edit]
I'm very surprised that this was downvoted to 0. The discussion was in context of Mac OS X, and the technical veracity is easily confirmed:
The government might actually want to do something to improve our broadband standing in the world (in terms of the quality & adoption of our broadband). The current monopolies have no such motivation.
Not that I’d want to depend on the government to do so. But hey, can’t be any worse than the current situation, right?
The government ought to put telcos and cable companies on the same level as data carriers then go away.
I can download movies, and play games. Broadband is currently fast enough for me to be happy. Why should we look at the rest of the world and complain. It's like the rich comparing themselves to the uber rich then complaining.
