This comment is really unbecoming of me. I honestly was just kinda peeved at the entire conversation and should have passed by without leaving a negative thought.

You would hope an increase in cost is correlated to an increase in the quality of care.

It's not proportionate to shoot someone for fighting you with their fists.

What on earth is about marketing to women now and using the promise of finding ones 'tribe'? It's really cringey and fake to me.

I hate to break it to you, but anyone who starts a business is not the average European anyway.

Does it really matter how much better it is when you can go immediately bankrupt from a simple procedure? I imagine there is immense pressure and loss of wealth by simple virtue that people probably don't maintain good health but go in when it gets bad enough that going bankrupt is worse than dying or being violently ill with no end in sight.

What do you mean when you want to be an entrepreneur? What makes you tick? Do you want to discover talent, help fund ideas, work on the ground level within a company? There are plenty of really useful things that have been built in Europe in and out of tech where you could facilitate in these kinds of roles. I don't see how you can't be an entrepreneur in the EU, unless an entrepreneur to you is to have loads of money and to perform vapid pr stunts for the next fad.

Spotify, Tom Tom, City mapper, runtastic, factorio, World of tanks, transfer wise, todoist, telegram are all examples of businesses which have emerged from the European economic region and the EU itself for example.

People have dogs but don't want to walk them. It isn't that hard to grasp.

It's pretty mental that the US still uses cheques for paying employees. I'm 26 and have never been given a cheque and all payments have been electronic.

Sounds like a result of increasingly drab and formalised work environments.

It didn't come off as smarmy (well it did), but it primarily came off as contradictory.

I payed for Wipr and I don't notice the difference between it an uBlock Origin on my windows machine. Can you report if it works on Safari 13?

You should clarify that your experience us pretty much exclusive to web development which is bot indicative of a lot of work that goes on in software creation and computer science research. Just a weird nit pick of mine that most people here seem to be web devs who assume everyone else is - it creates a weird environment for discussion.

I would assume most people on hn are American and with employers and a culture that is very anti holiday.

Good thing it isnt? What a stupid argument. People have gotten by just fine without making their asses wet and patting them dry everytime they shit for a while now. How do you know the water doesn't just spread shit everywhere and you don't clean it up properly?

Do you have any suggested reading around software as art vs business? You pretty much began to articulate the things I've been thinking about lately.

Sorry, but do you read your own comments out loud? This reeks of a kind if snobbery, just not the type you're snobby against.

All it does is raise the stakes. Thats why police forces in America are heavily militarised. I can guarantee that if Hong Kong citizens had guns the police would have a disproportionate answer that included more deadly weaponry than they already do.

This is a powerful message and makes it very evocative for communicating the need for a treaty. Why is the government so inhumane and closed to the idea of reconciling a disgusting history?

They are 'allowing' people into a private beta of a programming language? Coupled with the fact it is not open source and has a bunch of fad ad-tech videos on the front page this is so many red flags.

How did you go about finding a low stress position? I'm super interested in working just enough to live so I can actually enjoy my life.

Its expensive because its good and the amount of engineering to make sure this doesn't drop a single sample in live performance costs time, expertise and cash.

I have friends who work there in a number of areas and colleagues who have freelanced for them (convolution reverb for example). It is pretty nice from what I hear and the focus is very much enabling creativity before profit.

What is deep work?

Is the work fulfilling?

Sometimes paying for services that you don't use has unseen benefits to parts of your life and the wider community. Consistently well funded services can develop institutional knowledge and allow greater dissemenation of the fruits of labour.

My bad, I read your program as 'Voidtools' and didn't realise we are talking about the same thing.

I think now in France supermarkets are 'legally encouraged' not to lock their bins and the culture of food waste is not as prevalent.

Tried "Everything"?

Not even that far. Primarily vegetarian diets and less driving would make mountains of difference for the world. As someone who is fairly new to adulthood I dont really see why we work so much - there just doesn't seem like there is much to "get". There should ve a greater focus on tending our environments around us, spending money on experiences and creating art (or even just having a hobby).
