I was comparing the US to first world countries, not Europe as a whole. And no first world country is exceptionally poor compared to the US. Yes, the point in this case is actually to have fewer poor people - specifically a strong middl

Yes, it did. And how it is and has been managed is a large part of well it has worked for the country, which is a lot more involved and interesting than "Oil was found in the North Sea in the late 60's and everyone lived happily e

I think that's kind of why 'per capita' is used.
884.
by Dewie 12y ago
GDP per capita doesn't say anything about the wealth of the median person, either. Maybe in this case, GDP per capita should be coupled with the gini coefficient, which in the US' case is high (less equality) for a first world cou

USA is the country with a domestic market of 300+ million people, largely English-speaking, and has not seen a war on its soil in modern times, right? Hard to compare to anything else, then. It's funny how people immediately just say

The value proposition of Rust is unique, at least when compared to the languages that you've brought up (and C++). And how are Rust and Go "mostly the same"?

That just sounds dangerous. A system that takes care of a lot for you, until it doesn't. And then you have to step in at a moments notice, even though you might not be paying enough attention to react fast enough. I think there has bee

It's certainly not weird for libraries to be references to the language or culture of the language itself. Not to mention that the name can refer to relevant technical details that are related to the language - for example, if a pars

On the other hand, it can be said to be premature for the kind of people who specifically seek out the sun, trying to get a deep and even tan, spend a lot of time sunbathing to that end, etc. Maybe I shouldn't have said "prematu
