hospitable

</rant> But the people their are some of the friendliest and hospitable people I have met, and I've travelled around a fair bit!

The social ecosystem is less hospitable to bonding.

There's a difference between "least hospitable on earth" and "harder than in the US". I'd rather sell SaaS in Japan than in Ethiopia or Uzbekistan.

It's not realistic, or hospitable, to expect him to watch his belongings while he's interacting with his audience. Plus it's a new account that's trolling.

I definitely agree in principle, but on the other hand, it's really hard to imagine an event that would render Earth less hospitable than Mars. In general, these catastrophes would just make Earth more like Mars.

> Earth is actually quite an inhospitable planet as well. \n\nPerhaps in some light this may be true, but compared to Mars, Earth has a natural atmosphere that we can breathe, water we can drink, and produces plant life that we can eat. I'd call that downright hospitable.

For people not used to this, it might sound like a chatty, annoying type of environment, but in reality, being aware of the need to communicate, it made for a much more hospitable place to work. When you needed to concentrate, you could shut everything out.

Thankfully everybody I've met in person here has been incredibly friendly and hospitable which has left a big impression on me about Austin and the US in general. I will take that as my example, not this mean-spirited comment.

People in these parts honestly believe Android is a hospitable business environment, but if your business involves selling things, you have to content yourself with a tiny fraction of iOS's revenue potential. That's why these guys aren't pivoting.

Nice, hospitable, open people, good standard of living, great skiing. And a despotic government with no interest in war, just the subjugation of their own - and they'd still be a democratic secular republic if it weren't for the CIA orchestrated coup in '53 that resulted in the 79 coup, overthrowing the shah puppet govt.

If we could make a few discoveries like that a little closer and in slightly more hospitable environments "Close" and "hospitable" only appear in space in science fiction. In real life, it's uniformly deadly to well-prepared people backed by billions of dollars of military hardware, and so vast it staggers the imagination.

What I think those things have in common is that they're hospitable to "riffing" and cross-linking; for instance, the lyrics to the ICP song where they come out of the closet as religious are totally incongruous until RG annotations inform you that they're reprised lyrics from previous ICP songs. But riffing on Rodgers diary doesn't serve the same purpose, at least so close to the event.

Thankfully, it's become less hospitable for nakedly ambitious Bitcoin cheerleading or comically inept copyright law analyses. It would be great if the site could come up with some way to let the kinds of posts 'gruseom's submission log models get some space on the front page, but it would be bad if that attempt reverted us back to the worst of the Venturebeat and Techdirt days.

To me the biggest surprise was how warm, cheerful and hospitable Burmese people are, in a country where poverty is rampant, infrastructure is almost non-existent and freethinking is oppressed. And the second reason is that you can try to direct your money more to the people than government by staying and eating in small family establishments rather than pricy hotels that are almost always are controlled by the government.

The problem so far hasn't been finding a country that is more hospitable than the USA, but in selecting from the dozen or so who are more hospitable, and trying to figure out which one is the most hospitable. Imagine that-- we're struggling with too many choices for good places to locate our business, all of whom offer at least one key benefit over the USA, and most of whom offer many such. Many people think the USA is hospitable to business, and assume that there's something shady about what we're doing that we don't just go to the bay area and be done with it.

Where by "ruthlessly hostile towards" you mean "unusually hospitable to", for instance by providing contract liability limitation that you can get over the Internet for less than 100 bucks, at-will employment in virtually every state, special income tax breaks for small business owners, a very straightforward bankruptcy mechanism, contract enforceability that is accessible enough for small accredited investors to fund companies with boilerplate documents, and so on?
