Imagine how "Silicon Valley" series would be boring, if Pied Piper founders started their company in cheap US state/country with their own savings. Distributed company would be even more boring :-)

My impression is that most people on HN moved to SF recently and do not qualify for rent control. And it is not the same as your examples, I dont see a campaign that EVERYONE should get rent controlled apartment.

Could I ask why HN crowd supports rent control? It seems we are going against our own interests. 90% of flats are not on market, that makes remaining 10% very expensive.

Alleged rape happened six years ago. There was enough time to investigate, and make trial in absentia . Stretching this case for years (possibly decades) is not fair to his victims.

European countries used food stamps during WW2. It implies that country does not have enough food, if it has to ration its food supplies. I know it is social assistance, but it has really bad name. NHS is paid health insurance, sometimes pr

And what do you want to discus? It will start just another flame-war. Indian program is pretty cost effective, and there is a good chance it will become profitable. And US has 44M people on food stamps ;-(

Scala compatibility is not so great. It has its own collections and other libraries. And it does not even support java getters and setters.

I find this post sort of like "I want Arch to turn into Ubuntu". Arch is easier to use than Gentoo, LFS or Rawhide Fedora. The Arch Wiki is pretty useful even for non-Arch users. Try to install Linux on some new or exotic hardware
