Regulating but not innovating.
Always the same story, always the same result ..
- mellosouls 3y agoYou're posting that on the web (European innovation)...
- CamperBob2 3y agoYes, the first 0.001% of the technology came from Europe. What have you done for us in this millennium?
- cguess 3y agoSpotify to name one.
- pb7 3y agoSpotify who set up shop in the US at the first indication of viability? Not very promising for the EU when the majority of their employees are in the US.
- cguess 3y agoThey were in Europe for years before moving to the States. Also Siemens then. The European tech scene isn't as sexy, they tend to make things that are useful, not just things that get VC hype.
- zmnd 3y agoAnd now compare how many employees they have in the US vs EU.
- neom 3y agoPretty sure they also trade on the NYSE?
- devjab 3y agoI think the two biggest contributions would be RepRap giving the world open access to FDM printing, which was the catalyst for modern 3D printing, and microcontrollers like the RasberryPi and Arduino (again open). But it's true that Europe doesn't produce massive advertisement or tech companies, largely because our consumer laws would frankly make it impossible to grow by monetizing privacy data if you also had to respect European law. The real question, is why we allow foreign companies to do so, but I'm not sure anyone really wants to discuss that in earnest.
- globular-toast 3y agoWhat has anyone done apart from extract more money from thick people with addictive technology?
- umeshunni 3y agoCookie banners, GDPR, bans on sharing news. Is that not enough for you?
- ChatGTP 3y agoLinux
- CamperBob2 3y agoAnd what was Linus's next move, as soon as it became clear that he had done something important...?
- ChatGTP 3y agoNot really the point, it came from Europe.
- causi 3y agoNobody's arguing Europe wasn't capable of innovating thirty years ago.
- triggerw4rn 3y agoWe don't have an economy but we have the strongest bureaucrats.
- kome 3y agoand yet, better infrastructure and common rules give better systems overall, in europe we used gsm way before the americans, and so chip credit cards, bank transfers are free (no need for paypal or anything), etc etc (just to pick some example). why this? regulation.
- TMWNN 3y ago> bank transfers are free (no need for paypal or anything) PayPal has 90% market share in Europe. <https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/europe-mobile-payments-market https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/europe-m...>
- thefz 3y agoThe amount of pain in the butt coming from US readers on these news is astonishing. "sTaY In tHe mIdDlE AgEs tHeN YoU EuRoPoOr"
