   Thread on HN which is basically ranting about how Europe isn't like Silicon Valley and isn't innovative and such because there's no Uber coming out of Europe.
   
   I'm probably some stupid European but I _like_ the fact that this is not Silicon Valley. I like the fact that we don't have crazy VC's throwing stupid money and forcing companies to do hypergrowth (though that plague is migrating here as well). I like the fact that we tend to appreciate a health work-life balance. And I like the fact that we actually have different cultures on the same continent.

     @verius The US has different cultures on one continent. There is a reason people explicitly mention Silicon Valley.

     @clacke That's true and yet it's true in a vastly different way than it is true in Europe. The US has cultures which overlap to a much greater degree than those in Europe.

     @verius I'll admit that's probably true. :-)
