I love the comments to this article. Time and again when such "EU is not friendly to business enough" stuff is posted to HN, Europeans come out and say they like it that way.
Thus I'm skeptical this article will change anything. Europeans have looked to America, and said no. (Or, gave up and moved there.)
EDIT: to be clear I think Europe should be the way Europeans like it.
- mrtksn 2y agoCan you tell me why we should make EU like the USA if we just can invest into the USA startups and reap the monetary benefits and once they figure out the good and the bad aspects of it, we can adopt it in a regulated manner? It's not like any tech by those "tech" companies didn't made it into Europe. Sure, experimenting at scale it creates talent in these areas but it also disrupts public life. Let Europeans live like Europeans and Americans live like Americans. Not everyone needs to operate the same way.
- rhaps0dy 2y agoI don't think Europe should be just like the USA, sorry if that was unclear. I don't feel strongly either way -- I can see benefits and drawbacks of each style, though I moved to the USA. I just find it amusing that the linked website (and other calls to make "EU friendly for innovation") assume that the EU is like it is because of ignorance. No, it's because people want it to be this way.
