The ecosystem is quite dependent on fiat crosses... the U.S. government alone has the power and the tools to destroy crypto.
You can't hurt the rentiers, e.g. large American banks, and expect them to not get compensation or destroy you in turn. They are the law. To think that it matters that the technology is better (and it's debatable that it really is) is ludicrous.
LinkedIn (i.e., data.com) is far and away the best tool for recruiting/accessing GTM professionals. And it's in China. That doesn't sound like that bad of a niche to me.
Pulling out is specifically prohibited in the Bible. So is oral sex. But nobody gives a shit. The funny thing about religion is that there's so much nonsense in their official texts that you can make it mean whatever you want :)
This headline is such clickbait. Netting out all fossil fuels is silly. Natural gas is alive and well and growing quite quickly, while coal is suffering.
The horrible thing about generalizations is that they are so painstakingly accurate sometimes, and they hit so close to home that people hate them. Americans are hilariously uncultured. Do software engineers tend to be socially awkward? Yes. Try to understand the world for what it is or live in perpetual cognitive dissonance, your choice.
Too religious. China's great advantage is that they're all atheists.
Highly religious societies have a strong desire for tradition, and tradition is "women don't work and have no power, corruption is rampant, new things are bad (because they destroy the golden geese that keep the upper class rich and in power)". Pakistan and India are going nowhere soon.
The problem is religion. That's why there's too many people (birth control is evil and God doesn't want it, etc.), and that's why they have a lazy culture.
