I do not really understand your comment. The South Korean shipyards are pretty much all about making very large and complex ships. Most of the ships of companies like Maersk are made in there.
Sadly Europe is full of social democrats that are in favor of this cattle transportation. Cant stress enough how healthy I am since i started to commute by car.
Jobs for devs are everywhere that's not what makes a city "startup hub imho.
The only "real" startup hubs are the ones where venture capital is available and these would traditionally be the cities in North America, China, Singapore etc.
Same in Korea and Singapore and I doubt it's any different in China. You work for the sake of working not because you have something that urgently needs to be taken care of.
It's ineffective. Lots of asian nations that work overtime are doing it pointlessly because they are already exhausted and do not really contribute that much.
Seriously picking a car industry which is and always had been different in the US than in Eu is a shitty example to prove a point. If it would not be for your liberal americans throwing billions at your german cars they would be nothing compared to what they are now. Ever been to SK ? How many non korean cars have you seen ?
The entire IT industry dwarfs everything Europe has or will have in the next decades and still it is just a fraction of the US of A produces or trades with the world.
Besides Germany is your China of europe dumping shit to weaker markets en masse. Just looking at the list of largest german companies gives you a hint of how Germany really operates.
That sounds promising. I think it's important to keep community in loop and make sure people are aware of limitations and what's already possible and supported.
I know that you are using Rails as a reference point so is there any ETA when will be most of the features usable ? (openssl,activerecord,nokogiri..etc) ?
Apple to me is not a software / services company. They failed to make Swift popular and imho it will just artificially keep Swift alive while everyone else will be using RN,Xamarin and similar.
Gold is valuable because of its chemical properties and as long as there is a demand for high tech electronics and jewellery it will continue to be so.
