This is a citation for the claim "people in the United States are poor".

What I want a citation for is:

Edit: Despite the strong HN bias I will keep this comment.
Society has a limited amount of resources and manpower. Your capital is your share of society's resources and manpower. The capital can either be used on yourself or to build new products and services. Some people are better than others at building products and services people want. The free market attempts to redistribute capital to the people who are better at building products and services people want.

Most people use their money for themselves. They use the money to pay for food, clothing, and cars. If they get a pay raise, they use the additional money to pay for better food, better clothing, and better cars. They don't see the money as capital to build products and services people want.

Is anyone surprised that Google didn't come from Europe, and the next one isn't either?

Good for Europe. Go out there and extract that pound of flesh from the foreign company and show domestics what a powerful government regulator looks like, show them that their business is better started in another country.

Is what it is. Hope the tax revenue offsets the lack of innovation and talent flight.

But I think Google News and Spain demonstrate the reality of this situation, that regulators are dogs chasing cars who are praying they never catch it.

" In the end, Google in Europe could wind up as a very different thing than Google at home."

Are Europeans not upset that they're being forced into sub-standard foreign technology by their government for which they have no superior domestic alternative, also suppressing domestic innovation as innovators seek greener regulatory pasture, all in the name of today's tax revenue?
I only drink glass-bottle Coke sans corn syrup, and I only get to do that when visiting the Philippines (I don't go to Mexico very often—have only been there once). There, they use cane sugar to sweeten it instead of high fructose corn syrup. It tastes different, and to me, better. It seems more refreshing, especially when chilled and drinking it in a tropical setting.

(safe) Rust allows developers the freedom to focus on logic, and not memory safety or undefined behavior. Being able to focus on just logic is why people have turned to memory safe languages for years. Rust finally does it with almost no runtime cost over that of C.

Even unsafe Rust offers more guarantees than C. But is a spot where you can remove the guard rails.

C was/is an amazingly performant language, but you're kidding yourself if you believe that most developers can write software as securely in it as they could in Rust.

One critical point I feel this piece does not touch on is how diversity of experience is great in the workplace. It's a huge benefit as a developer (and obviously other professions too) to work on teams with people who have lived very different lives. The Mirrortocracy[0] covers this well, but it should be clear to us all that being exposed to different views helps refine our ideas and process.

It's partly up to us to make diversity happen. We can prioritize offers that have diverse teams, and when we get a chance to hire to value diversity of experience.

I don't think Europeans care or have to care. If it looks different, there will be other StartUps/innovations for the missing pieces.

This is a new age in customer support, if you can call it that. Amazon and I'm sure many other companies do the same thing. You don't even have to actually violate TOS. That's probably why no one can reverse the decision. They'd have to admit to closing the account on a whim (might be a bot's whim, but it's still a whim), unrelated to any actual TOS violations. They can choose to not do business with you anytime, even if you've paid them, and your only recourse is to sue them. Yeah, that's going to work out well ...
I just looked at it and looked at pro version. Very compelling in my view, congrats. I know people might have different uses and approaches, but I think if it can save me a lot of time, it is worth it.
To elaborate:

Have a centralized repository containing pointers to all available modules. Module creators can publish to this repository. Cocoapods does this rather nicely, and uses github for the centralized repo.

Then have a tool inside mjolnir that allows administration of the repo (request adding your module, publish a new version of your module, etc).

Then have a "distro" format that lists what modules are included in your distro. This is doubly cool because if you have to install another machine, you just call upon your distro, it installs everything and you're good to go. It also makes upgrading to the latest and greatest modules a breeze.

I guarantee that 90% of your users will just go with the "recommended" distro, but the developers will love you for making it a lot easier to contribute. It's all about lowering friction, for users, power users, and devs.

If 'Engineering and everyone else' beats 'Sales and everyone else' (Google vs MS) How about Twitter ? it's of the former type. As an engineer, engineering first company is more appealing. However, we'd end up again with a different silo.
A person making a lower-middle-class wage and saving 25% of it from the time they're 20, and never facing a financial emergency, will never be "rich" by any causal definition of rich -- let alone among "the wealthiest". In fact, they'll barely have saved enough to retire and live the same tightened-belt lifestyle they lived the whole time.

A penny saved is certainly a penny earned, and saving is better than spending it all immediately. But if you're lower-middle-class and your goal is to "be rich" then you'll need some way to get more money not just spend less money.
It's a rubbish example. The DNMs do not get better thanks to exit scams and takedowns. They get worse, as sensible and experienced administrators depart with a fortune, to be replaced by mendacious incompetents. Nor is the technical side of things any better - they have, if anything, regressed technically on the issue of multisig.
Certain carriers were worse for this. When I had a Nextel phone, my PC speakers would give me advance warning of calls ahead of the phone ringing.
WP does integration rather nicely, especially of multiple email and social media accounts. People prefer WP because they aren't interchangeable parts but a coherent whole.

And you don't have to spend ages trying apps and giving random developers access to your phone in order to achieve this. And app-less WP is much nicer to use than an stock Android, which in turn is much nicer than all the vendor or carrier mutilated Androids.

I'm not sure I understand all of what you've said, as I'm not familiar with Haskell, but there are at least some Haskell programmers have recognised the similarities between type classes and interfaces. Do you disagree with any of the following?

https://wiki.haskell.org/OOP_vs_type_classes#Type_classes_ar...

"Type classes are like interfaces/abstract classes, not classes itself

There is no inheritance and data fields (so type classes are more like interfaces than classes)....

For those more familiar with Java/C# rather than C++, type classes resemble interfaces more than the classes. In fact, the generics in those languages capture the notion of parametric polymorphism (but Haskell is a language that takes parametric polymorphism quite seriously, so you can expect a fair amount of type gymnastics when dealing with Haskell), so more precisely, type classes are like generic interfaces.

Why interface, and not class? Mostly because type classes do not implement the methods themselves, they just guarantee that the actual types that instantiate the type class will implement specific methods. So the types are like classes in Java/C#.

One added twist: type classes can decide to provide default implementation of some methods (using other methods). You would say, then they are sort of like abstract classes. Right. But at the same time, you cannot extend (inherit) multiple abstract classes, can you?

So a type class is sort of like a contract: "any type that instantiates this type class will have the following functions defined on them..." but with the added advantage that you have type parameters built-in, so:

class Eq a where
(==) :: a -> a -> Bool
(/=) :: a -> a -> Bool
-- let's just implement one function in terms of the other
x /= y = not (x == y)

is, in a Java-like language:

interface Eq<A> {

boolean equal(A that);
boolean notEqual(A that) {
// default, can be overriden
return !equal(that);
}
}

And the "instance TypeClass ParticularInstance where ..." definition means "ParticularInstance implements TypeClass { ... }", now, multiple parameter type classes, of course, cannot be interpreted this way."

pardon the shitpost, but that is a compilation of one of the most profound and useful quotes i've ever seen. the difference between superficial achievement and real contribution is profound, and most of our systems are designed to reward and reinforce the first at the expense of the latter.

It is such a strange argument from the EU. The strongest form of Tall Poppy syndrome.
Don't gloss over the healthy number of Europeans who are (rightfully) concerned about the societal impact. I'm not arguing that there aren't a large number of wealthy and powerful interested parties doing much as you say, but they're aided by normal people interested in shaping a healthy society. It's the same problem in the US; we just don't have as large of a socialism bent.

Regardless, the effect is the same. With policies like "Right to be forgotten" and publicized attacks on the posterchild for innovation, "the next Google" certainly won't be European.
> Are Europeans not upset that they're being forced into sub-standard foreign technology by their government for which they have no superior domestic alternative, also suppressing domestic innovation as innovators seek greener regulatory pasture, all in the name of today's tax revenue?

Not really, Europeans usually understand the problems of allowing an incumbent in one market to use its position to get control of another market. If the price to pay is slightly less 'innovation' (Whatever that means in this context), that's a price to pay.
If NYC, Boston, LA, Chicago, DC, SF, Las Vegas, and other major cities across the country didn't require fingerprinting then it was unreasonable and according to my view, "onerous" in terms of the implications.

> buy something so cheap you expect to throw it away

So, IKEA furniture? /joke

Another factor people are ignoring is that furniture durability is not the only criterion of how long you get to keep your furniture. If you're in an unstable living situation (which renting often is, especially if you have to share), then you may end up having to move at short notice. I know a couple of people who've had to ditch everything they couldn't fit in a large car as part of a move; bed/table/wardrobe/chest of drawers stuff. Fortunately it was all just cheap melamide.

Couches are an even worse place to invest in quality because of the risk of damage from spills, pets, and kids.
And maybe if your actual work is keeping you busy, you might not want to have to deal with all that on top of it.

I also agree, but a way I find entertainment on my quest to filling out my pokedex is by fighting gyms with the goal of adding a crappy pidgey or rattata after I've taken it.

I change the names in my replacements to something like "The King".

For a level 10 pidgey that's a lot of confidence.

I do this for a few reasons:
1) I can.
2) It's fun and keeping gyms is ridiculously hard.
3) It gives new players a chance to unseat my gym and get their daily bonus.
4) Powering up gyms is way under powered at this point.
5) This also gives other people on my team to power up the gym and reach their own goal if they like.
