This comment is really unbecoming of me. I honestly was just kinda peeved at the entire conversation and should have passed by without leaving a negative thought.
Does it really matter how much better it is when you can go immediately bankrupt from a simple procedure? I imagine there is immense pressure and loss of wealth by simple virtue that people probably don't maintain good health but go in when it gets bad enough that going bankrupt is worse than dying or being violently ill with no end in sight.
What do you mean when you want to be an entrepreneur? What makes you tick? Do you want to discover talent, help fund ideas, work on the ground level within a company? There are plenty of really useful things that have been built in Europe in and out of tech where you could facilitate in these kinds of roles. I don't see how you can't be an entrepreneur in the EU, unless an entrepreneur to you is to have loads of money and to perform vapid pr stunts for the next fad.
Spotify, Tom Tom, City mapper, runtastic, factorio, World of tanks, transfer wise, todoist, telegram are all examples of businesses which have emerged from the European economic region and the EU itself for example.
It's pretty mental that the US still uses cheques for paying employees. I'm 26 and have never been given a cheque and all payments have been electronic.
You should clarify that your experience us pretty much exclusive to web development which is bot indicative of a lot of work that goes on in software creation and computer science research. Just a weird nit pick of mine that most people here seem to be web devs who assume everyone else is - it creates a weird environment for discussion.
Good thing it isnt? What a stupid argument. People have gotten by just fine without making their asses wet and patting them dry everytime they shit for a while now. How do you know the water doesn't just spread shit everywhere and you don't clean it up properly?
All it does is raise the stakes. Thats why police forces in America are heavily militarised. I can guarantee that if Hong Kong citizens had guns the police would have a disproportionate answer that included more deadly weaponry than they already do.
This is a powerful message and makes it very evocative for communicating the need for a treaty. Why is the government so inhumane and closed to the idea of reconciling a disgusting history?
They are 'allowing' people into a private beta of a programming language? Coupled with the fact it is not open source and has a bunch of fad ad-tech videos on the front page this is so many red flags.
