You shouldn’t drink poop water my friend

You are confusing bureaucracies with institutions. Bureaucracies are absolutely on the rise in Europe to the point where people are actively leaving. Germany in particular is notorious in IT markets where people are so fed up and leave for smaller opportunities.

Now good institutions don’t need exhausting bureaucratic processes. If anything a good institution should realize the bottle neck here and work to fix it.

Also why would you tie together democracy and bureaucracies in your complaint? They’re not even remotely relevant to each other.

You absolutely need to scale up. I’ve been on several european teams who had to reincorporate under LLC just because its impossible to compete in Europe as a new business. There’s just too much moat.

I agree and welcome meaningful regulation but in Europe its absolutely being used as a market moat, especially in tech. People who are defending this looking at this issue through the wrong lense of political theory crafting rather than how these tools are used in practice.

The only places in Europe that are actually growing tech now are Eastern european countries that losen up the moat to allow innovation in and dont have strong incumbents that reinforce the moat.

They try bur they’re really bad at it. I’m on my 10th account or so and so is everyone else.

How about helping businesses actually stay in Europe. It’s almost impossible to scale up in europe due to insane moats everywhere.

Its still super easy just search the web how to. Use a new browser window with new email on mobile network connection - its literally impossible to reliably fingerprint this.

The bans are mostly meaningless these days tho. Its so easy to make a new account and bypass detections.

Remember when it was “open sourced”? This is the state of the repo right now with 0 updates in 2 years 😂

Not the same thing?

As an European living in Asia and can’t help but cringe at American cars. They’re so far behind. And it’s the car country. Japan has better cars and better rail. Embarassing.

Tbf notoriously China subsidizes BYD to net loss so its not exactly capitalism.

This is just working. Spain is no demand for military tech and could easily spend time shopping around for years.

Subnautica 2 must be in a pretty dire spot for this to happen. I guess we’ll see as the story unrolls and early access comes eventually but I’ve met many successful people who stopped caring after they made it big (which is fine but then just quit) so I really wouldn’t be surprised if the publisher is right here.

I’ve worked with many Russian software developers and they’re mostly good dudes making good stuff. The issue is the brainwashed and uneducated masses and some bad apples that are in bed with the this mafia system.

Good point tho small part of the items were legit good due to keep it simple philosophy even if not intentionally. Particularly as you mentioned stuff like razors were very well regarded.

As for present it’s actually crazy how incapable Russia is at making stuff. As a Russian speaker myself I struggle to come up with any other country with such miniscule presence in actually creating stuff that is not weapons, rockets or dubious software.

Lmao as usual gamers rush in with outrage and turns out the issue is not that simple.

It’s the toughest problem for this very reason but thats why freedom of competition is critical here. We can allow systems to self correct through incentives and protections and thats exactly what most western democracies are doing!

Diversity has been hijacked as a ideological word but its literally the best and most sustainable long term strategy even in rigid markets like investment (I.e. hedging, index funds etc). So diversifying power, despite blocking, is really powerful despite what current autocrat wannabes want us to believe.

Will it though? Looking at China, Russia or Iran I’m not so certain. In fact it seems to be regressing without anyone actively working for progress.

That little front windows is adorable. It’s really cool how much innovation EVs brought but its yet to be widely available :(
