As long as the heuristic is run the same way, you will get the same output.

Most compilers aim for reproducibility (except for things like timestamps) anyway, as your customers would rightly complain if compiling their programming produced different speed executables each time, and debugging compiler problems would become even harder!
Corporate tax is 30%

But corporate tax alone is not a good way to evaluate the opportunity of creating your company in France.

As a startup you are supposedly doing innovative stuff and R&D so you actually get tax credits[0].
Crédit Impôt Recherche &Crédit Impôt Innovation brings you up to 30% of your R&D investment.

As a startup in France you are eligible to the Jeune Entreprise Innovante status which basically means you pay nearly no social contributions on the salary of your R&D personnel (which is a huuuge amount: as a rule of thumb, total cost of 1 salesperson is roughly twice his/her net salary. Paying half of that for your engineers is...cool).

As a startup in France you also get grants from BPI (Banque Publique d'Investissement) and colateral for your private loans.

As a startup in some regions of France you can get local grants which can be a huge amount as well (and Paris is not one of them).

If you want to try to get into the French Tech Ecosystem, there is a program similar to Startup Chile, French Tech Ticket[1], but the grant is only 25k€

To give an anecdotal example, I raised south of 1M€ of private equity (which is obvious a very small amount by US or european standards), but I got almost as much public grants/tax credits/local help. My colleagues/competitors located in the Paris region got substantially less local help for the same amount of money raised and comparable market/R&D programs.

> people who are anti-Muslim, anti-immigrant, anti-feminist, anti-trans (etc.) - and for people who are Muslim, immigrant, women, trans and non-binary people (etc)

Those are beliefs vs identity, a particularly tricky subject. The problem is when, I for example, don't see it that way; I see many of those "identities" to be beliefs also, beliefs about self.

As an example, to a Creationist, arguments about evolution are about identity - there are few boundaries to which subjects people involve their own self-worth/identity. A similar argument arises wrt trans people and the various proposed categories that have arisen - simply saying "this is who we are" is not enough, since exactly that is what is debated.

That said, I suspect you mean "you can't welcome both women, and people who hold anti-woman beliefs". But the labeling of any belief is itself a belief. Some of those idea you call "anti-women" can both be considered not anti-woman and be held by women e.g. not all feminist believe sexual content to be harmful to women, or the idea to be productive.
My rule of thumb is that if a line of code survives its first five years it'll live forever. The age of a piece of code is the single greatest predictor of its future.

It's not just how to make a robot explain itself, its decisions. Because even in plain good and old english there are level of understandings. Heck, even explaining some algorithms to someone IT-related isn't easy, when it comes from another field of knowledge.

When the AI(robot) decision is similar to a human daily thought, the difficulty is low. But even humans do things that they can't explain, and come with a later explanation that doesn't fulfill what just happened. When spurious correlations are found by AI, translating it to human understanding (not just language) will be very hard.

Step by Step Guide to Improve Email Deliverability
I have the Asus RT-AC68U/TM-AC1900. I bought it from T-Mobile for $60 and flashed it to stock and then put Asuswrt-Merlin on it (but you can use Tomato or DD-WRT). It does take a little work to flash it to stock (like Telnet'ing into the router), but it wasn't bad and for $60 I ended up with a wonderful router. There are guides online for flashing it back to stock.

If you're looking for information, I suggest SmallNetBuilder. They have very thorough reviews: http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/tools/rankers/router/view. It looks like the RT-AC68U is their #1 pick for AC1900 router now. It used to be their #2 pick under their previous testing methodology (after the R7000 Nighthawk from Netgear). That's slipped to #3 under the new testing and the Asus has taken the top slot.

Asuswrt-Merlin isn't such a radical departure from stock, but it has some nice features and allows me to do things like edit the etc/hosts to block certain things.

The Asus RT-AC68U is probably one of the top 2 AC1900 routers out there and T-Mobile is selling it for a song (even if you're not a T-Mobile customer). It's a little work to re-flash it so read a guide and see if you're comfortable with that. Or you could buy a stock RT-AC68U and get SmallNetBuilders #1 AC1900 router overall, for 2.4GHz avg throughput, 2.4GHz max throughput, 2.4GHz range, 5GHz avg throughput, and 5GHz range.

Besides -- and this is key -- they're not rewriting it in Javascript. Javascript (via Emscripten) is a compile target for the code they already have.

Right - they will not be supervising or paying attention or ready to take over in an emergency.

Some hand-wavily relevant comments:

- I had the exact same problem - "how do I get at the entrypoint and follow this" - only earlier today, with Chromium. I was trying to figure out why sync was broken and thought I'd try and follow the (C++) breadcrumbs. It didn't go very well. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=671498

- AFAIK, cmd.exe is basically a horrible, horrible hack. I'm not 100% sure, but I think an instance of cmd.exe is the only way you can run things with a stdout, as in Windows has no concept of TTYs - the cmd.exe process uses a bunch of undocumented kernel interface APIs to "make it work™".

Airbnb hasn't been around for all that long. Why didn't they write their library with python3 support in the first place?

Yes, there are some python2 features that work differently in python3. But python3 has existed for a decade now, and there aren't real benefits to using forward-incompatible methods. Writing code that won't work in both is a mistake.
I did the same exercise, and I found this immediately (straight drilldown through directories from the top level):

https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/blob/master/src/pow...

It's instantiating the execution engine (.NET-speak for the core runtime) getting ready to run Monad (the original codename for PowerShell).

I think part of it is familiarity and context. I knew none of the command bits would be likely to contain an entrypoint. Directories that mentioned native looked useful for finding an entrypoint, because I know that PowerShell is implemented in C# - I reasoned I'd be able to find further managed entrypoints by looking at where it starts out in C++.

You can see that the main object it instantiates is Microsoft.PowerShell.UnmanagedPSEntry. Looks useful.

A search across the repo for UnmanagedPSEntry lead me to https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/tree/master/src/Mic... which seems to contain all the entrypoints you're looking for.

The main loop is in InputLoop in https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/blob/master/src/Mic...

> At least it allows you to tinker with it, as opposed to iOS.

Sadly, that's not true anymore.

On iOS, if you jailbreak, you can still use Apple Pay, and all apps.

On Android, if you root, or modify anything, Android Pay stops working, Snapchat stops working, Pokemon Go stops working, most banking apps stop working, most games stop working.

I've been a supporter of Android since the start, but by now it's just as proprietary as iOS, with more spying and tracking and analytics, and less possibilities to tinker.
I think your expectations of a seed round might be a bit optimistic. It's realistic to take funding so you can quit your day job --- especially if you're growing reliably month-over-month. It's a little less reasonable to think that you'll be able to hire multiple people with a small seed round and execute on your business so well that you'll be off the funding treadmill after that seed round.

Unless you have pretty exceptional circumstances, I think you're also pretty optimistic in assuming that a few hundred thousand dollars will only cost you a few % of your company.
I'm the Dallas R Users Group organizer and I could not agree more. I've had similar experience.

Here is my opinion of the Python vs R "debate" in a nutshell. Programmers prefer Python because data science is just another hack for them to accomplish as they make their applications. Statisticians/Data Scientists pefer R because it is a standalone mathematical suite. I believe what drives a person to use R or Python is what kind of tool they want to use in their toolbox to accomplish their respective task at hand.

I think the article was trying to say that you're not absolutely guaranteed to have ed on Arch. Although pulling it in as a dependency is almost unavoidable if you're actually trying to do anything, so you have a fair point.

Yup, it all depends on which level of abstraction you choose to operate in.

I could describe throwing a ball to you into terms of how the quantum wavefunction evolves over time to produce the end state from the start state, and it would be a perfectly fine description, but for the sorts of things we do, usually a Newtonian physics level of description will do because we're generally concerned with coarse level details, not the momenta of each individual atom involved.

Hi. I am a paper guy too. Until this thing hits the market wide, gets lots of positive reviews and has its costs reduced, does anyone have tips for managing lots of real paper? I feel like some organization tricks could help ease dealing with paper problems.

I use paper to sketch out thoughts and draw diagrams, and I don't want unlimited papers. 5 pages a day is enough for me. I wish I could say I read books - I don't. So I only have to manage papers on which I write things and refer to them quickly whenever possible. It works fine, but if someone has tips to help, please share. Thanks.
Great to hear from you guys directly! I guess we (i.e techie internet folks, you included) have been served so many crowd funded promises that it's difficult to believe things that are too good to be true. Although I'm personally a big advocate of keeping stuff open, I do understand that a small company has to have some secrets for themselves.

Now I see you're also a developer at KDE which certainly gives credibility to your statements! But on the same note I truly hope the information from the device will be encrypted on your server, and that an opt-out of this sync will be possible. And if there will be support for Owncloud or the like, you've literally made my dream device!

I truly understand and support that you don't promise stuff that aren't really made yet, and I really hope the privacy concerns will be taken as serious as they are.

I'll second Buffalo. I have the N600 [0], and I'm pretty happy with it. I started with the built-in DD-WRT firmware, installed OpenWRT soon after, and recently moved to LEDE, without any issues. I don't really use many advanced features, but I find it's really stable. One really nice thing I appreciate is dnsmasq. It puts your DHCP entries on the local DNS, so you can access your machines by their hostnames via straight DNS, no WINS or Bonjour needed.

If I may add a bit of context: while Station F is indeed a project of Xavier Niel (Free/Illiad/Kima/42...), it is also a project with considerable public support.

Several french regions have their (semi-)publicly funded equivalent of Station F (Lille with Plaine Images & Euratechnologies, Nantes with La Cantine, ...) and while there is a considerable quantity of startups in Paris, there is no local de facto hub. I'd argue that Le Sentier area plays that role, but it's a neighborhood where lots of startup happen to be located. In the early 00s it was dubbed "Silicon Sentier".

Plaine Images & Euratechnologies have been built in former industrial complexes with the aim of redynamizing local ecosystem as a whole. Anne Hidalgo, the Paris mayor, hopes to do the same to the XIII arrondissement.

> Thermodynamics states that in any closed system the entropy ALWAYS increases over time.

You left out a bit. If we take Wikipedia's definition (I know, I know):

> The second law of thermodynamics states that the total entropy of an isolated system always increases over time, or remains constant in ideal cases where the system is in a steady state or undergoing a reversible process.

As far as is currently known the laws of physics are time-reversible, which (ISTM, at least) would imply that the latter clause could very easily apply to the universe as a whole.

(There's also the issue of whether the universe itself is a closed system.)
