That's a good point. In a related point, people also forget that a corporation or LLC is a grant of limited liability the government allows in exchange for a public purpose otherwise the shareholders would be liable for all of the debts of their business activity. As such there is a reasonable argument that this right to limited liability should come with a duty of care to society at large (employees, customers, the environment).

The history of corporate charters provides an interesting context because the limited liability was initially reserved for very risky but important activities like exploration. The original corporate charters were grants of both monopoly and limited liability offered by a monarch or sovereign for a specific approved business activity. Overtime society has expanded these grants to any and all business activity so we forget the original rationale for allowing these privileges.

Event the LLC is a relatively new entity. Historically business was conducted by partnerships. The partners were on the hook for the debts and actions of their partners and often put a lot of effort into limiting the risk of their business activities.

There is a strong argument that allowing investment banks to shift from a partnership to corporate structure allowed them to pursue much riskier activity. Goldman Sachs went public in in 1999 but was a partnership for 130 years before that.

The same motive applies to shareholders, if we allow them to benefit from limited liability it should be with the understanding that the company and its management have a duty to act appropriately which means the interest of Soviety at large and related concerns balances against profit concerns.

Ask HK: How do you design a sql table schema when you expect it to change?
An example would be you're doing a prototype for a startup, but you're not sure what the complete schema would look like in the near future.

I would normally use nosql or postgresql and put them in a jsonb. However, in this scenario I am stuck with mysql 5.5-5.6 without ORMs

The Forbes article says that, but provides no data or evidence.

The actual source for the Business Insider link appears to be this: http://blog.compass.co/the-2015-global-startup-ecosystem-ran...

For the 2015 report, they completely removed the "startups per capita" variable because they decided after lots of discussion with investors/etc that it was a worthless figure. Because of that, it doesn't really seem to make sense for you to push it as evidence that Israel is a good place for startups.

Additionally, they do not have data for China, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea, of which they expected Beijing to probably surpass Israel in ranking. This would definitely be the case if combined with Shanghai. As the comments also point out, they are missing a lot of other cities.

The data for this ranking seems to be done through surveys. They don't provide any information about this survey process, and because of that I have to think that it isn't providing very accurate results. There's also no definition of what a "startup" is. If I had to guess, it's any business using their tools. Because of this, it might make more sense to say "Israel has more users of Compass tools than any other country, per capita".

This 2015 report also apparently ranks based on dating going back to 2011. If you look at 2015 data alone, Israel is definitely not the top outside the US. Berlin beats it in every category.

Lastly, "It is typically regarded as the largest startup hub outside the US" is vague and doesn't really seem to be true. Largest by what standard? Because by any standard I can see, other than perhaps Compass users per capita, it is far from the largest.

In regards to "There are also more investment dollars per capita" this data also appears to be questionable. The link describes "investment dollars" without any qualifier for Israel, but cites a number for the US ($60 billion) that is specifically only investment from venture capital. If you look at "investment dollars" in general for startups in the US, the number is over $100 billion. The source is also one that focuses specifically on Israel, so their data gathering is possibly much more deep than the reports coming out of the US. This is one of the cases again where "per capita" doesn't really seem to mean much.

Ya this is tricky.

You can switch providers in a over time fashion by sending all new people to a new provider, and maybe sending out an "update your details" to existing people. If any existing users take action, move them over. If not keep billing on the old platform.

How often do you honestly need to switch gateways though? Most companies do it 0-1 times in the first 10 years of business I would expect.

I spent four years writing and drawing a graphic novel. My method was not so much "work every day" as "work most days"; my official schedule was "aim for two pages a week, don't fret if life gets in the way".

Most days, I got in an hour or two on it. Some days I spent more. Some days I spent less. Sometimes I'd stop for a week or two due to things like "needing to recharge after selling at a comic convention". But it was a constant part of my life. When I took a break, I'd start missing it after a few days, and be glad to get back to it.

I'd trained myself to feel rewarded whenever I finished a page. This broke down at the end of the book, when I had to draw a few pages that had an order of magnitude more panels on them. A death in the family around this time also knocked me out of this comfortably productive rut. I'm finally getting around to finishing off that project by doing a kickstarter to print the last part of it, and really looking forwards to getting to work on my next books. Because I miss those habits of just getting pages drawn.

I think that a crucial part of getting big projects done is finding some way to keep feeling like you've Done Something on a regular basis - you may not have finished the whole thing, but you've finished a definable segment of it. It's also really important to forgive yourself for unproductive days. Because shit happens, and sometimes dealing with it takes up all your energy; beating yourself up for not working yesterday instead of shrugging, accepting that you're one day's work behind now, and getting back to it, just wastes more energy.
Do you think in the male dominated world of engineering in the middle part of the 20th century that they considering programming to not be a serious discipline in engineering lead to women being hired in positions they would not have if programming carried higher prestige? If so what does this tell us about the contributions made by women like Margaret Hamilton, Grace Hopper, and the ENIAC programmers? The issue of men dominating software engineering today isn't about talent or potential, but likely grounded in sexism. If you consider hiring women you double your potential labor pool.

Exactly. Replace "advisor" with "boss", and see how it works out. It might be a good life experience for the OP, but putting it on a CV? No way. I wouldn't even mention in conversation the true explanation for quitting or switching advisors, unless it were a close friend who was genuinely interested in hearing the details --- for anyone else, a generic, "we had different artistic visions".
OTOH, I think it's important for the public to have a low-friction channel to day-to-day police work, the kind of things that police do 99% of the time when they aren't in the news for something extraordinary (I use extraordinary in a neutral sense, for both heroic and scandalous incidents). Much of it is quite mundane and often depressing, but it's part of civil society, and it sheds light on why police work is sometimes the way it is.

Of course, there's always the danger that some entrepreneur will try to monetize this public information by appealing to pruriency [0], but I think we should cross that bridge when we get there, rather than preemptively shutting down a valuable channel that has more benefits (for now) being open than closed.

I recently finished my PhD and had a terrible relationship with my "advisor"---who left part of the way through to start a startup doing the exact same thing he had brought me on to do (except I was not invited). I don't have any continuing contact with him and I certainly don't list him as a reference on my CV (nor did he help me make any useful connections before he ditched his lab group). In a difficult situation like that, what kept me going as what amounted to a self-advised graduate student for almost five years was that I enjoyed the work I was doing. If that intrinsic motivation was not there, I would not have finished---or if I had, it would not have been very meaningful: why get a PhD studying something I wasn't fully enjoying and engaged by?

I have watched enough graduate students "stick with it" non-enthusiastically and it doesn't usually work out well. I hate to be black-and-white, and I don't think it's as black-and-white as I'm about to put it, but either you love the work and nothing can keep you from it (or something close to that), or you should leave the PhD program (and there's nothing wrong with that!). I think PhDs do not really made to reward folks who don't fully enjoy the work they are doing, because often the post-graduation prospects are "pay a big price to keep doing your research" or "do something else".

Granted, I don't know much of your situation, so take the advice for what it's worth, but I hope that what I've written here is helpful.
A lot of conspirative theories arose of course, but the oficial version was that some oil destined to industrial uses was imported from French to Spain and sold door-to-door as edible oil by some unscrupulous sellers.

The case was not repeated since that, so tomato pesticides aren't really a strong candidate. A lot of the tomatoes eaten in Germany, Holland and other European countries are from Spain (and pass strict quality tests in those countries) and nobody developped the same symptoms ever. Tomato production created a new type of spanish landscape in fact, that we call "the sea of plastic".

In my family we use exclusively olive oil for all. In any case, I will love to taste the sazanqua oil, that is the equivalent to an olive tree for japanese and is reputed also as excelent. Have somebody tried it?

Even for companies that pay good salaries there is a shortage. If you look at the H1B filings, you'll see for example that the average Netflix H1B salary is just about $300K a year.

That being said, a lot of companies are abusing H1B and the system needs a huge overhaul so that the people who want to come work here can, the people who want to hire foreign works can, and we don't have a few companies using imported workers as indentured servants.

> All the gold standard would do is subject any country that adheres to it to crippling deflation whenever the economy grows and crippling inflation whenever it contracts.

If that was true, then why US, that of course had a recessions and booms at the time, still had prices mostly stable for more than a hundred years, while its population was expanding very quickly?

Or the same, for several other countries.

Gold, doesn't mean the money supply is completely static and constant. You can still have fractional reserve, can still debase your coins physically to cause inflation (Roman Empire in its last throes did that for example), Gold is still mined, and used to non-monetary products.

But Gold Standard also means you can't "inflate your way" out of problems 100% of the time, as is the default right now, we are seeing central banks all over the world with balooning balance sheets, while if you look the numbers for individual income since 1970s in advanced countries, you see the individual income is falling, meanwhile various financial items that are out of reach of the "average" person are balooning in value, and making the wealthy look even more wealthy (only "look" more wealthy, most of that wealth is purely theoretical, mostly money tied up in stocks, bonds, derivatives...)

From my point of view, all the lack of gold standard did was increase overall inflation, and create the most gigantic debt bubble in history, where all countries are accumulating ever increasing amounts of debt, not only from the governments, but individuals being more and more indebted.

I fully expect that the entire debt house of cards will collapse some time soon (ie: in decades scale at most, not centuries scale as most other major social change), and that people will realize how stupid it was to create an entire civilization based on debt and trust, something that breaks down when serious war show its head (I mean, why country A, would honor debts to country B during a war? Those are only numbers and derivatives, there is no "real" assets there!)
> Actually 5.3M adults have RSA in France(pop 66M) [...] Yes, the bureaucracy is daunting... [...] I'm just saying it looks a lot like UBI and doesn't lead to prosperity nor happiness.

If it involves daunting bureaucracy, and how much you get depends on how little other income you have, such that only the less than 10% at the bottom of the income distribution qualify, it doesn't look a lot (or even at all) like a UBI.

RSA is a minimum income -- a kind of means-tested benefit of the type UBI is offered as an alternative to -- not something that looks at all like a UBI. The difference is that RSA has a 1:1 loss of benefits with additional income up to the RSA threshold (at which point the benefit is zero.)

UBI has no loss of benefits with additional income, which means that -- unlike a RSA-like minimum income -- additional income for someone earning less than the UBI benefit amount provides additional utility, while with a minimum income it does not. This is one of the problems with incentive and ability to improve one's own condition that is inherent to means-tested social benefit programs (and also a driver of bureaucracy in such programs) that UBI aims to address.

Eight trains would need a gap between them ­— typically several km per train — so the capacity of the line is increased by having longer trains.

Air resistance would be higher for eight trains.

[Without the benefit of both sides of the story, am assuming the advisor is truly bad.]

I was in your shoes, and I didn't leave my advisor. I greatly regret that. I stayed because I felt ethically obliged to, and because I am non-confrontational. I made a big mistake. Even trying to change advisors (within the same university) seemed awkward. And it would indeed have been too awkward and difficult to pull off. I should have just quit.

Five years from now, each of your present-day years will seem much more valuable than it does now. One of your years now has much more leverage now than it will five years from now. Do not waste years on a bad advisor. It sounds like this is the perfect time -- you say you expect another 3 years, which suggests you're 2 or 3 years in right now. One more year, and your identity will get too strongly coupled with your advisor's.

If you're in CS and taking up a CS job, there will not be an expectation of a reference from your advisor, if you can position these 3 years as an extended Masters. Get other references, and be honest but diplomatic about your advisor if asked.
