Waterfall: The European Way Of Starting Companies

I think there are some sour grapes or frustration there, given the guy's involvement with startups - maybe something hasn't been going well for him and/or he's run into lots of bureaucrats or obstacles, something which does happen in Europe. Hopefully he can get around those difficulties.

> last.fm is from Austria.

I went to Dornbirn and met one of the guys formerly involved with Last.fm, who is now doing some other kind of startup. Nice place.

You might be right.

I also think Austrians especially have no idea how good they've got it. They think the US is different because if you just take trips to NYC or other major destinations, you don't get a feel for it.

I'm grateful for what it's like to live in Austria. Typically at least once a day, something will remind me of how much better it is here.

I don't even care about the taxes.
