The US has about 4 times the population of germany in 27 times the area (22 times if you count contiguous). There is a lot of space for houses. and in the bigger cities people do rent or have absurd commutes.

Maybe the problem is that HN is full of people who make decently into the low 6 figures and spend large amounts of their time with others who make similar amounts. How often have you heard some young single person complaining about how hard

I wonder if crypto currency will survive, or if we end up with Blockchain being a useful technology and smart contracts having niche applications and still worth a lot.

Demanded cash. Only an asshole would pull a gun on some homeless man who asks if he has any spare change. It changes if they come up and demand money. Losing a couple thousand bucks would suck, and if that was guaranteed to be the end of it

They only hire senior engineers. I don't know what that really means though. People who are smart, hard working, and get the right jobs can get a senior title in 5-6 years at the big companies.
