Ok, this article seems tailor made for HN to hate, but I'll agree with one thing: "Instead of subsidizing start-ups directly, governments should become good customers for them." A huge amount of my time at a small company is spent (wasted) getting funding because we're a small innovative business and watching huge competitors get (and fail) at simple projects because the overhead of working with the government is 10x what it should be.
