It was not in the power of your master to deliver the letter to your master. He did. I will be with you as soon as I can keep my word.
It is not at all clear, whether the letter has been sent or not.
It is not at all clear: but it is clear also that it was written by the person who gave it.
"No," I said, "I cannot give it to you."
There, the letter was sent to me.
"The letter is yours, I believe," I said.
"But, I hope, you will not refuse to give it to me?
I'm not sure where this notion comes from. First, Europe does build its own tech companies — Bolt, Bol, SoundCloud, and Spotify, which started in Sweden. Second, do we really consider companies like Facebook, Airbnb, Uber, Netflix, and Twitter as pure progress?
I think the case is that the US has been really good at promoting its domestic products. Another reason why the US has more tech companies, and why more companies move to the US, is the lack of legislation for worker protection. However, this is the same argument as to why most products are manufactured in China.
> GDP per capita in western Europe remains stagnant
First, this is clearly not true [1]. Second, GDP per capita is a poor metric for assessing wealth and quality of life [2].
Startups move to the us because of the ease of access to VCs (or capital in general)

From the outside the EU sounds like on large unit. Where in facts it is a fragmented group. The EU has plenty of tech companies but it is pretty competitive when you have that many countries to cater to, each with their own culture, language, and laws. So you will target a specific market - like France, with marketing in french, adapted to the French context. Expanding to anew place is expensive and difficult. So you end up with lots of local, small/medium size businesses instead of one unified large business.
Just my personal opinion living here. And not saying it’s bad, it’s just a different dynamic
Your link does show exactly how massive the gap between the US and Europe is. There is a single EU country on the list, Sweden. And it has 2/3rd the capital per capita the US has
I once worked at a small pen-testing firm that also conducted PCI DSS compliance tests, and I can confirm that this is an accurate depiction of the industry. A majority of the staff were recent grads, and it was disheartening to see that most clients were primarily interested in obtaining the compliance certification rather than genuinely improving their product security. This, in turn, creates a perverse incentive for auditors to grant compliance, as clients who don't get the desired outcome may simply switch to a different auditor. In such a setup, it's difficult to ensure that security standards are genuinely upheld. On a positive note, these compliance tests do help in making sure that card data isn't stored in plaintext, but beyond that, the overall impact on security seems rather limited.
Not financial sector, but in my own experience working in tech consulting partnering with large management consulting firms in the past, security was the last thing to get checked and the first thing to be neglected.
Sure there were some "bare minimum" things that was expected to be upheld like passwords not being in plain text, but come time for a security audit it was exactly as you say. Not done out of genuine interest in security but as a rubber stamp of items to be able to show the client "look we did this"
Not even joking when I say that the development plan for most of these projects basically just tacked on a few days in the last week for "security improvements" alongside things like "tech debt" rather than it being a top of mind thing for the entire development process.
