Re:Heroku Sees 50 Percent Increase in Apps Since November

Secondly, I'd like to know how many of the apps that Heroku hosts are actually production apps.
Agreed. Because of Heroku's unreasonable pricing, I see it as a feasible service only for staging and development. Without deep pockets, I would never want to host a potentially popular app on Heroku since I could never afford to scale it there. And because I don't want to have to go to the trouble of reengineering something after it's been developed to move it elsewhere, I would rather build it elsewhere from the start.

It doesn't make me glad. I think we could achieve much more significant progress in science if we weren't held back by ethical demagoguery.

According to this listing, Australia is not even in the top 20: Luxembourg, Ireland and Hungary seem to be the top three.

I'm not sure what you base your statements about Europeans on. From my experience in both cultures, there is very little difference in this respect, except for the provision of greater societal safety nets in Europe.
