Some data we recently assembled on entrepreneurship/compute in Europe: https://t.co/x8pbpHLun7.

We hope that one of the useful roles that Stripe can play is in collecting and publishing empirical data pertaining to entrepreneurship and industry in Europe. There's growing appetite to get Europe on a better footing, and cross-sectional comparisons can often shine light on where opportunities lie. If you're interested in this kind of thing, we publish more at https://t.co/YoZDuYbaBi.

@ue_man We needed it for humans to be able to understand the code and improve/extend it with as little effort as possible.

Astra (medium) worked for 3m 12s in order to commit and push changes. Gonna keep doing that myself.

Lots of people discuss immigration & crime in Europe, so I compiled what I think is ALL the data on the topic, which is hard because many countries hide it.
Do they commit more crime?
Is it because of age? Sex? Education? Poverty? Culture?

1. Sexual offenses & violent crime:

Ever since I mostly gave up on sugar, eating sweets, except in tiny amounts, makes my stomach unhappy. Also, most of the sweets do not taste so good anymore as they used to.

@dhh @lofreeco I love my UHK and I would not go for anything else. I program it once and it works with every system the way I want it to.

For the past 3 weeks, I've been travelling around Poland. I started in Krakow, then went to Wroclaw, and now I'm in Warsaw.

I'm completely amazed by how clean, organised and polished all these cities feel. You don't see crazy people on the streets, people behaving strangely like you do in Spain or Italy, for example, or trash on the ground. I cannot emphasise enough how clean everything looks. It's like being in Singapore or Japan.

Travelling between cities is also a very pleasant experience. The trains are very comfortable (and again, clean), and they have restaurants on board that actually serve amazing, affordable Polish food!

In Warsaw particularly, everybody is very well dressed, and walking around the city centre feels like such an elevated experience. It's crazy that Poland's GDP per capita has more than tripled in dollar terms over the past 20 years. I think people back home still see Poland as a very poor country, but that view is completely outdated now. In Krakow, I also met Italian girls who said they felt so safe walking around. I mentioned I was going to visit Bologna soon, and they joked that I'd only see Pakistani people.

Poland has had a huge influx of Ukrainian immigration, and you notice it in Ubers, cafés, bars, etc. But because the culture and religion are similar, it doesn't feel like a big cultural contrast.

Well, coming from Portugal, I find people here slightly blunter and ruder, but again, all of this is relative (Brazilians think we're rude, for example), so I suppose you just get used to it.

The public transport works flawlessly, and the trains and buses are impeccably clean. Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems Polish people have a stronger sense of civic responsibility when it comes to cleanliness than southern Europeans?

Judging by the cities I've visited so far, this does feel like what you'd imagine when somebody says “Europe”. It's super refreshing to be here. I think locals probably take it for granted by now.

Can’t make this up…the MacBook is using its webcam to look at its screen in a mirror to improve AMD Radeon chip support in Omarchy.

https://t.co/izFcrV0IAb Together, 74.2% of female physicians, 51.2% of male physicians, 77.1% of female nurses, and 68.2% of male nurses experienced sexual harassment in the workplace, approximately one-third within the last 12 months.

[Maciej @akvus]

The amount of harassment young nurses face in hospitals is outrageous. It’s mostly verbal, but not only. The work is exhausting and draining, with irregular shifts and often ungrateful, sometimes downright disgraceful, patients. Why does anyone choose to do it.
