You need to

a) Pay people well enough to not feel the need to take bribes

b) Create harsh enough consequences that everyone thinks twice, and apply it universally. This doesn't mean a police state or even jail, but enough consequences that being corrupt isn't a worthwhile enterprise

My wife's country actually elected a government that isn't too terrible and is trying to change things, but the backlash caused by giving civil servants raises was fairly big. And the old government was undoubtedly corrupt, but prosecuting your political foes can cause issues, even if it's entirely just.

Education can help, but then again, it's not everything, and if there's no demand for educated labour, people drop out anyway.

People need to look at the least corrupt states in the world - we may bitch about it, but our politicians are paid very well, and while some are still corrupt, most aren't, and the scale of corruption here is far less than most countries.

False dichotomy. Everyone should be "worried about their health" as you only get 1 health. Plenty of places offer both "eating out" and "reasonably healthy".
> Nissan knows if they tried to charge for CarWings, they'd have three paying customers because no one else would pay for that crap.

That and the service is going to break this year anyway.

AT&T is sunsetting its 2G network on December 31, 2016. It's already dismantled it (to reallocate the spectrum to 3G/4G/LTE) in some regions.

Most Leafs on the road only have 2G AT&T modems. I'm pretty sure Nissan was still selling them new in 2015 with 2G modems, despite knowing AT&T's plans. There won't be any CarWings service, or charging location updates, or anything else that needs internet on those cars once the 2G network goes away.
Mile wide, inch deep.

Or more like a millimeter. The problem in bigger cultural hubs is that people already know where to find event listings -- there are just too damn many. What they want to find is that narrow stream of events that match their taste. The key to that (if there is one) is probably a recommendation service similar to what YouTube offers, combined with social graph search. Which of course requires lots of data. Which is of course hard to get, unless you already have it. Which is why this problem is so dang hard.

But apart from a recommender service... an app which robustly shows events nearby could potentially be quite useful (often people don't particularly crave to do anything exciting on a given night -- they just want to go somewhere nearby with friends, and find out quickly whether the place they're going is hosting something they might like... or something they'd rather avoid). But I'm not sure your app does that well enough yet (at least after plugging in a certain popular but not overcrowded neighborhood in my city, then getting flooded with events very much in the center, and miles away).

The primary problem with lists like this is that they don't compare to successes.

For example:

* I've been on projects where we're rewritten applications from the ground up that were totally successful and we were better able to build in the future because we had a clean setup.

* I've seen government IT shops hire contractors to do a large project and ended up with something better than the internal devs would have done.

Both of these are situations where the opposite case (time-consuming and expensive failure) gets a lot of attention. (and, in my experience, failure is more common). Show me one of those failures and my instinct is to say "Of COURSE that was a failure! It was obviously going to fail!". But, in reality, not always.

Rather than building unhelpful conventional wisdom, we should be trying to understand the distinctions between the failures and the successes.
IIRC you can use <amp-iframe> to load anything you want.

> That's not sex. You can't impregnate a female by grabbing.

The whole point here is that sex != reproduction. IE social sex constructs, homosexuality, conflict resolution through sex, and just recreation via sex.

> Also, having lots of sex in a 10 day period is impressive, but humans don't have a 10 day heat period. They're in heat all the time. Its not really comparable.

It's true that humans are available for sex all the time - a claim no other mammal can make as I understand it - but chimps and bonobos are also available for sex far more often than they are in a viable reproductive state.

Sexual swelling in bonobos, for example, is almost consistent throughout the cycle.

There's some really misleading information on that site. Tax rates are misleading and just plain wrong in some cases. I'd take information on that site with a pound of salt.
The project is open source and open to contributions from anyone. Every single time this comes up the project contributors have said that they will gladly modify <amp-ad> to support any network they can. They're also constantly developing new <amp-X> components to fill in the gaps for other embeddable services. You want <amp-vk>? Submit a PR! Open an issue! It's open source!

And please, please tell me what's wrong with using e.g. <amp-youtube>? It's just a web component! All it does is what you want it to do, and if it doesn't do what you want then either you shouldn't do that, or you can just submit a PR.

The whole point of AMP is 1) make sure the developer doesn't do anything that'll make the page load unnecessarily slowly or repaint/relayout unnecessarily and 2) make it way easier for the developer to accomplish #1 because all you have to do is type <amp-youtube>.

AMP is no different from, say, jQuery, or React, or Angular. It's a different way of doing things, but it's not a "gatekeeper" on the web. It's just another option, one more tool in your belt, if you so choose.
> You can laugh all you want but this is a pretty serious topic that most founders get completely wrong.

I appreciate your passion and agree it is an important topic. I just found that specific sentence funny.

> an LLC is somehow a lesser entity than a C Corp

Personally, I have never thought that. They are just different.

> you're not as well protected with an LLC

I would have agreed with you until recently. I bought a house and the audit for the home loan was extremely thorough. They wanted tax and financial records for all sorts of things that I wouldn't think would be relevant. Since I am self-employed that included my business tax and financial records. I pushed back because I don't think that is any of their business and they relented only because it is a C corp. I have only bought one house and have one loan. I don't know if it is standard practice to audit the business too, but in my case having a C corp saved me from a business audit.

> you can't raise money with an LLC

Technically correct, but I strongly disagree with the blanket advice that first become LLC and then later become C corp if necessary. Likewise I strongly disagree with the blanket advice to just be a C corp.

I always ask people what the ultimate goal is. If the ultimate goal is to become Google, Facebook, etc (forget likelihood), then I say C corp. Otherwise I usually say LLC.

What being a founder really means is your job is to build confidence. Build confidence with employees that you are a good leader and they can depend on a paycheck from you. Build confidence with customers that you can build a good product and you will support them if they have problems. Build confidence with investors that you will make them money.

One way to build confidence with VCs is to have the business set up as a Delaware C Corp. If your goal is to become like Facebook, Google, etc then you will probably need VC money at some point and you will be forced to become a C corp eventually too. Why not just do it at the beginning and show VCs you are serious and have some knowledge about what it takes to become a big, public company. That isn't the only way to build confidence nor is it the best way, but it is a way. Why start with LLC and make it a question you have to constantly answer?

Having read the article, this is about the "Windows Spotlight" feature -- which shows you a different wallpaper just before you log in. For me it's usually the default "cave and beach" wallpaper[1] although it's shown interesting photos from time to time, so I've left the feature on. It's on by default but pretty easy to disable.

Not sure how I'd feel if it started showing me blatant ads. I'd probably just turn it off. And if they annoy me too much, well, hello Mac or Linux.

I'm going to give Microsoft the benefit of the doubt here, they're still trying to figure out what "Windows as a Service" looks like. Note that Google has ads on its homepage and even Apple delivers ads via push notifications, breaking its own rules in this regard[2].

Workers cooperatives have a lot of difficulty growing into a large organizations because they would have to be federated if they did (workers cooperatives as usually organized in the US rely on the bonds that can be formed by a small group of member-owners to function effectively). A franchise model can be effective for retail/service coops. Arizmendi/Cheeseboard in the Bay Area is one of the most successful, with 6 locations.

Workers' coops also have limited access to capital and business expertise which can make them difficult to get started, but the reason they don't grow large is the reason above.

However, it is totally fine for workers coops to remain small businesses for their entire existence, all that would mean for is that we need more of them to be started.
Those are one in the same. Development could be:

- clearing roadblocks
- training and coaching
- assigning work
- forcing a change
Our batch at Techstars was almost have foreign companies, and it was amazing to watch how much they struggled with this issue. Many of them could not put their investments in the bank until the program was almost over because of unexpected bureaucratic nightmares. Had that been the case for us, we could not have done the program. Huge barrier. Excited for this!
It may feel like it, but you can reduce any computer program to a mathematical expression. Even that distinction feels a little silly and artificial, code almost just feels like a different kind of notation for math. If you can patent code, you're patenting math.

This may seem pedantic, but I really do think it gets to the core of why software patents have turned out to be such a disaster. Math is specifically not patentable, and math coursework is specifically excluded from the scientific background required to become a member of the patent bar (the patent bar specifically identifies mathematics as coursework that does not qualify a person to sit for the patent bar). People are often surprised by this, but if you have a BS, MS, and PhD in Math from MIT, you can't sit from the patent bar (well, on the basis of that coursework anyway).

So what the patent system in the US has done is 1) allow math to be patented, and 2) specifically exclude people with math backgrounds from reviewing patents, 3) scratch head and puzzle about why trivial patents on mathematics are granted.

Which is exactly how FOSS is supposed to work. You give away something free of charge and available to everyone and you're getting something back from your users.

That doesn't make the software's user "the product" though. In your case the developer is making himself the product he tries to sell, not the users. This is really not comparable to advertisement and data collection.

Yup, they are having their cake and eating it, too. Free for 10% of the PC users, the rest 90% will pay for it, but because of those 10% we're also going to serve everyone ads, too.
Most of what you say is reasonable and apparently historically accurate, but

> the Commerce Clause

I think there is basically unanimity among legal scholars on this point.
Ask HN: How to split with non-tech co-founder?
What is the usual agreement between tech and non-tech founders, given:

- There is no external funding, both of them wants to do bootstrapping.

- The tech founder would probably spend 3-6 months to develop the MVP.

- The non-tech founder will do the specialized sales and marketing (niche market with only a few people deciding on using A or B product), share its domain knowledge, but won't do development.

The risk and initial involvement they take is quite different, but due to the niche market, and the tech domain knowledge required, they won't make it happen without each other.

I was thinking that they can found a company in 50-50%, but the product is not under the company's ownership at first. The tech founder will put a price tag on its time ($X), and from the first $X revenue the tech founder will get paid to transfer the right to the company.

Would you have better suggestions?
But the user is not really 'the product' in any meaningful way. The developer's reputation from having +1 user does not have a negative impact on the user like advertising does.

Telling people not to trust anything they don't have to pay for seems a really obvious footgun for FOSS.

I was shocked and very worried when ads for Microsoft Office started popping up in the Action Center (10's centralized notification area) last year. When I wrote about my concerns on a Windows forum, most pf the responses were along the lines of, "why are you complaining, Windows 10 is free." If people no longer feel that they own their operating systems, then there is no check on Microsoft's behavior. Inevitably, ads will become personalized and telemetry that Microsoft now uses to improve the operating system will be used to improve ads. The challenges to privacy that we currently experience online will expand to the desktop.
> BTW, if you're not a US citizen + the business is providing services + you're the only owner (single member LLC), then there are NO TAX-paying requirements.

Does this mean no state-level tax-paying requirements, or no tax paying requirements at all?

In other words, for an overseas non-citizen sole-owner of a service-providing LLC formed in Colorado, are there no US taxes due at all?
No, the meaning dimension there is different. In the Reynolds number it's a ratio of measures where the units cancel.

Here we're talking about mapping data into a high dimensional space, then trying to project that down to the minimum dimension space that can preserve the relevant information.

In the example we don't have any reason to even think all our dimensions are orthogonal, we're assigning a new dimension for each word, but we know there is a lot of overlap in word meaning.

Here's what you do. Find a couple companies you want to work for. Find folks who work there on twitter/irc/github.

Email them and say "I'd love to work at your company in a year, what can I do to prepare".

They'll tell you. You do want to get a job, be it contracting or something, so you have some professional experience.

But the main thing is you learn what you need to learn, you figure out if you need some github contributions, moocs, read a books, etc.

"PayPal has way too many caveats"

"Why should I add a disclaimer that's already in my profile?"

Because most people here would assume that you provide an unbiased point of view and wouldn't bother to check your profile. Didn't say you were hiding that, but that's what disclaimers are for.

Btw, disclaimer: I do not work for PayPal I just settled with them and I'm okay. Also (if you're from Mexico) check out PayU (formerly DineroMail), they are really cool too because they also process "offline" payments through banks and convenience stores.
If you want to work in the commercial world, get a job - you have a lot of (practical) skills to develop, and people will wonder why you needed another year of coursework before starting work. Consider aiming for a job at a company that's good at an interesting niche, and note that new grads can get hired into many niches. There is such a thing as a junior data scientist, junior security expert, ...! (And there's also such a thing as a web developer working at a robotics company - such a web developer could easily dip a toe into robotics.)

It's not necessarily a bad idea to play around with MOOCs to take a look at other skills while working at your job, but if a university course wasn't enough to make up your mind a MOOC won't be either.

(In general, a thesis or internship is a good way to look deeply into a specific niche. But if you're three months from graduating, I don't think that advice will help you...)

What is the harm done? Of course you don't "own" your operating system. You also paid nothing for it. I also struggle to grasp the double standard of why Google, Facebook, et al are able to endlessly track and personalize ads, but when Microsoft follows a similar model, there is outrage.
