Tax havens are so 2015. At a time when there is a rising impetus towards closing tax loop-holes the UK is going to try to differentiate its economy by exploiting them? It might just work, for London, but the UK is just too big to fly under the radar, and in any case it's difficult to build a domestic economy of the size of the UK on crumbs from the rich man's table ...

I suspect maybe you're showing (X exits)/(N funded companies). You can't just compare binomial proportions like that, between proportions of different N. You'll have lots of random fluctuation. If Waltham had a couple of exits out of few tries, it will look better than Cambridge, even though the error bars on Cambridge would be much smaller. Maybe do a lower bound of a confidence interval? Sorry for the stats nitpicks.

> Okay, assuming that is true, is there an intuitive way to understand that? And the fact that lim[n-> ∞] 0.5^n = 0 unfortunately won't do for me, that is true for any specific infinite sequence, even those containing 50/50 heads and tails.

That's true, but only if you pick ONE specific sequence. The likelihood of any precise sequence of heads/tails is equally unlikely as all heads. However, we are not fixing the outcomes ordering, but simply saying taken to infinity the distribution of outcomes will tend to 50/50.

> I still would not really understand what forces my coin to show tails eventually

Nothing forces it to show heads either.

> but if there were a measure showing that those two sets have measure 1 respectively 0 it would already be easier to swallow

Well, we've already proven it's impossible to have all heads infinitely. The same would be true of any non-uniform sequence. Any sequence that favours heads by any margin at all, taken to infinity, would necessarily contain an infinite sub-sequence that contains all heads, which we've proven is impossible by the limit to infinity.
Twilio also had a very powerful stock demo, which is (IMHO) the best demo since the Mother of All Demos. You've seen it if you've ever seen a Twilio demo.

If you haven't: the presenter "live codes" a quick Twilio application in front of the audience, showing a server-side program which serves TwiML (Twilio markup) that does some trivia action, like "Say hiya to the caller." They then have one person call a number which connects them to the application. It says hiya to them.

People clap a little.

Then they ask the entire room to call the same app. It says hiya to everyone.

People clap a lot.

Then they say "We can get the list of numbers which just called our number from the API, in one line of code. Here, let me print some on the screen with the last four digits covered." Nervous laughter happens.

"And then I'm going to have it call all of you, and bridge you into a teleconference."

Presenter hits enter. Every phone in the room rings at once. Crowd goes wild.

I've seen this demo 15 times and it never ceases to be absolutely magical.
"Okay, assuming that is true, is there an intuitive way to understand that?"

I mean this quite seriously and am not being sarcastic or dismissive: Probably not. I think the general concept of "intuitive" is that there is some experiential analog to the concept in the real world, with which we've had a lot of experience and can thus "intuit" the behavior. The real world does not include infinity.

You can develop mathematical intuitions, but I don't think that's what you were saying.

In the mathematical intuition sense, it's worth pointing out the probability of any given infinite series of coin flips is zero. The all-heads or all-tails series are not special that way. While this may not be the best way to intuit it, if a metaphysical you who would live forever sat down and started flipping coins, you will never at any point be done with flipping an infinite series of coins. You could sit there until you flip any finite series of coins, but you will never flip an infinite one, even with our unrealistic stipulations of life span. From that perspective, a probability of zero of flipping an infinite number of heads should seem reasonable; there is probability zero that you will ever have flipped an infinite number of coins.

This is part of the problem! The UK has an inequality of attention: everyone looks inwards towards London. It's the places that are ignored that voted to Leave. And there are a lot of them.

I'm reminded of the proposal of "managed decline" for Liverpool in the 80s. Give up rather than fixing the problems. Ironically Liverpool has since prospered enough to vote Remain, although that vote may also be due to the longstanding boycott of the Sun newspaper there.

Not anymore.

For better or worse the definition is being expanded such that we're all going to be classified as terrorists soon enough. Terrorists have fewer rights than the average citizen, so its inevitable.

Am I a terrorist? Well, yes, yes I am. My wife donated some money to our local mainline Catholic church and they've participated in some anti-abortion activities and some define that as financial support of terrorism. I was in the US military and I never did anything personally, but the army certainly has participated in acts that are terrorist from the point of view of other countries. Some of the worst terrorist acts happened before I was even alive, but I bet PLA members and Hezbollah members don't get a free pass for the same reason. Why the org I voluntarily joined, genocided the Native Americans just a century or so ago, and per the SS standard that makes me not just a terrorist but an unrepentant war criminal. I voted for Trump and campaigning for him is considered a hate crime on college campuses. I'm into electronics and computers and theoretically I could make a radio jammer or write a computer virus, although I'm not into that personally it doesn't sound too hard and a I certainly have the skills and gear necessary.

So in summary we've donated money from the shared checking account to financially support terrorist acts, I willfully joined an active terrorist organization in my youth (although I do have an honorable discharge, so there's that in my favor), I willfully and knowingly have terrorist / hate crime sympathies, and I have proven terrorism related interests and skills and abilities. So yeah, I am a terrorist. Many of you are too. I have to lie on my immigration forms and claim I'm not a terrorist, very annoying having to do that.

I'm trying to find more info on angular 2 incremental rendering that you've mentioned.

I've despised angular since pre-1.0, mainly for performance reasons. Once the number of watchers hits 1000 or so, a browser will noticeably lag. A compete rerender will cause a noticeable freeze up.

I'm not currently using react either, but it's possible to do an incremental render through code, only rendering what needs rendering. React-dom will be needed to plug the result in the right spot.

How Gender and Race Affect Police Interactions
In addition to pc86's point, my comment wasn't targeted at you personally. There are certainly businesses that will be in the Stripe exclusion set. However, I was arguing against the implication that they've got some sort of really extensive set of exclusions that lots of people will need to worry about. For all the entries on it, it's not truly that large. Mostly it's just the fact that while they need the "don't do illegal things" clause, it's way easier to exclude specific things and then tell people that they fall under that specific rule than to get into lengthy and fruitless arguments about whether or not a particular activity is legal.

>why is this musical so popular?

My wife loves it and I listened to parts of it and it has some really catchy rap. She never got into hip-hop culture, so I think this is the the big breakthrough for a lot of white middle-class and higher theater/musical people who previously found this stuff inaccessible.

This is pretty much Kanye for housewives and grandmas. Its non-threatening and if there is anything controversial about it, its a manufactured controversy that's safe to partake in.

Me too. But it's not like it's unfounded advice. The things you need to start a company (time, knowledge, morale) are all significantly more expensive, and therefor less accessible, in SV.
What’s your agencies thoughts on UX?
Sort of. You measure the latency from the user to the proxy + the proxy to the site, so what you end up with is the approximate location of the proxy and a radius around it where the user could be. But the radius is liable to be 3000 miles, and you can't even assume the user isn't really closer to the proxy than that because the user could be using more than one proxy or anything else that adds fixed network latency (including on purpose to prevent this).

Which is the same problem with using it to determine if the user is "too far" from the server. You can get extra latency (and thus false positives) whenever there is bufferbloat or a lame corporate network that routes traffic from New York to New York via a network appliance in California or similar.

Both Angular and React rely on an AST - React uses jsdom, while Angular has a template compiler which constructs an AST from the template, and the renderer then can render from the AST as it determines. Angular can render templates with the inert template tag - this allows it to leverage browser caching for browsers supporting the template tag.

It also supports the shadow DOM through its style engine with the component decorator. One can either use native shadow DOM (and use a polyfill for the functionality), or use Angular 2's built-in virtual shadow DOM where it randomly generates unique attributes to style off of with the component decorator.

"quasi-professional cowboy" here. I have used both ORM and direct SQL systems with the problems outlined above. I finally gave up and wrote my own row mapper:

1. Using the DB Schema, generate stored procedures to load and save data together with code/validation in partial C# classes.

2. Transport data in XML format using single letter (or two) table/element and column/attribute names (auto generated). Use .Net to automatically build/ serialize the XML into objects. SQL Server/.Net have some nice XML features that make this simple.

This means that the only user access to the database is through authorized stored procedures. The users have no access to database views or tables.

I have implemented the means to load and save arbitrary hierarchical objects (e.g. an Order/Order Lines). A single request to the database can return a complex three level object which would otherwise take hundreds to round trips to load.

I agree with the observation that this would be hell to maintain. However, the people likely to maintain this system would be in just a different hell if they had to work with Hibernate or MS Entity Data Model.
It's worth running the math on that one.
1.5.2 is only 15 months old, which isn't all that long in 'enterprise time'.
That helps with wire delay but not with transistor delay. For workloads that are bound by cache latency (a lot of them) it should be a really big deal but not for more execution bound workloads. And in the end it might give a few more factors of two improvement but it will only get us so far.

You also shouldn't say that you don't, if you have... as this would be "fraud to gain access to the USA" which is a good way to never gain access to the USA.

Therein lies a problem, just what is a social media account?

Is it Facebook and Twitter? Or does it extend to networks like LinkedIn? Or forums like Hacker News?

Do you have a Facebook account, if you believe that it has been deleted but you also suspect that technically Facebook never deletes?

Is using a dating site a social media account given that you can converse on it, swap images, etc? No? Define how Tinder or Grindr differs from Snapchat or Yik Yak... and how you'd justify the difference to US Customs.

Basically... it looks to me like either:

1. You refuse to answer and that is a red flag.

2. You lie and that is a reason to refuse entry.

3. You offer up the bare minimum and it can be construed as some combination of 1. and 2.

4. You offer up everything, and you have totally given up far more than what is revealed by just having a Facebook or Twitter account.

The question, whilst appearing simple and clear, is incredibly vague and a minefield for anyone trying to answer it.

I'm reminded of the quote from the film War Games, "The only way to win is not to play.". If travelling to the USA is part of your life, perhaps it's time to close social media accounts and just call the people you want to talk to.
Richardson being in the top 5 makes me very happy, because I have such strong personal and professional ties there... it's basically "my city". I went to both high school and college in Richardson (UTD alumna here), I've worked in two different companies in Richardson (and I'm currently at one in a suburb next door to Richardson, which is also on the list), and it's a great place to both work and live. Much better than anything in SV, IMO.

One of the companies I worked at in Richardson had a very successful exit, too.
I used to work for eDonkey doing support, many years ago. There was a fair number of people selling "eDonkey PRO", "eDonkey Premium" or similar, so the problem is familiar. They'd pay them, then email us with problems, and demand refunds if they were unhappy.

I'm not so sure. I think it could be argued that many open source service models fall under Personal Computer Technical Support. Let's say I set myself up as a Linux guru (I'm not, but for the point of the argument, let's pretend). If someone then phones or emails me after borking their installation and I fix it for them (either in person or perhaps remotely), it could be argued that I'm offering personal computer technical support. However, the above scenario could be a legitimate open source software business model in many cases - develop consumer open source software and provide paid for service to support it.

Supreme Court Strikes Down Texas Abortion Restrictions
Clearly investors are biased to having someone nearby. Even HN forces you to temporarily move to SV. How do you overcome this bias in Kansas especially when your competitors are in SV and chatting up people and making connections?

The problem with "how I got successful" advice is, even when its honest, is fairly dependent on that one person's experience. Most success has more to do with getting lucky or being at the right place at the right time, than purely merit. That Kansas startup may have a lot of merit, but a less meritorious startup actively "working the room" in SV will have a strong advantage.

I suspect you'd learn more from the guy who had five failed startups in a row than the guy who hit a homerun on his first time to bat. Again, the "advice from billionaires" format is really a bizarre thing. Its the closest thing secular society has to the Delphi oracle and from what I can tell is usually borderline dishonest or just a lot of pleasantries/PR for said billionaire. It does get ad impressions though, so I imagine this is why we keep seeing this type of format over and over again.

Maybe Brin's advice made sense in the 90s but is questionable today. Or maybe he's woefully out of touch. Or maybe he's being dishonest. Or maybe its just a throwaway comment that he never really thought about too strongly and is being sold by the tech press as "The New Hot Tech Tip!" Unfortunately, its impossible to tell.
