Because it's their experience with how the EU is run. These top level commenters you refer to don't want to waste their time with the specifics is the proposal because they believe that these initiative is a poorly managed redistribution of tax money.
I don't think VC system is good, but I'm tired of going in to EU calls to only see there's actually no money for start-ups but it's often earmarked to keep big EU companies afloat and competitive. This is in itself not a bad thing, pretty much everyone does it (US military industrial complex for example). So I accepted these as money injection to big business rather than expecting it to tickle down to small businesses or start-ups.
On start-up funding we have a systematic issue of European wealth going to US for investment and EU start-ups going to US to find investment. These EU money injections doesn't solve it imho.
I share your sentiment, I'm also very skeptical that this money will be wisely used, a good chunk of it probably sinks into the Treibsand of European bureaucracy. And significant amounts will go to shallow ideas of startups. Europe just doesn't have the right startup spirit. It's over regulated and risk averse. Both fatal for a fruitful development.
`more_itertools` is definitely on my shortlist of things I wish were in the Python standard library. (The list of things I'd like to see cut out, is probably considerably longer. But that's mainly on aesthetic principles; it's probably not creating a significant maintenance burden.)
And yet somehow I keep forgetting about it in the exact moments when it would probably make my life easier.
Well, anyone that says "all India states are very beautifull places" must be on something. Not denying India has some beautiful places, but it also has some of the most post-apocalyptic places I've ever seen. Gurugram reminded me exactly of the city in Blade Runner.
