Learn. Live. Grow. Rinse. Repeat.

Being an entrepreneur is not being the person that has a light bulb of an idea, shoots for the moon and either makes it or falls flat never to be heard of again. Sure, sometimes that happens.

A more apt analogy is the guy who wants a date for the prom. He asks 50 women he knows, in a forthright manner. 49 of them slap him. The fiftieth says yes.

Another analogy is from the movie Lone Survivor, where one SEAL asks another "Can you fight?" and is told "I've been shot.". This prompts the asking SEAL to tell the other "We've all been shot...can you fight?"

You've gotten slapped, or shot, and it sounds like hard. Good chance you'll get slapped by your next startup too, but it won't be as hard a slap if you learn from your failure through careful analysis, and apply what you learned to your next startup. Eventually you may make it to the prom, if you learn well, have some luck, and surround yourself with good people.
Strip out all the bullshit you called "rapidly expanded the scope" until you have one core feature, and implement that one feature to the best of your ability. Keep things simple and you will progress, I promise you. I think you found yourself at the bottom of a heaping pile of spaghetti and no longer see the exit. Don't let your frustration stop you!
The only SaaS I use personally are websites I visit. I host my own ownCloud, file storage, contact backups, and when I move into my new place I'll be setting up my own email server as well.

Edit: If you consider DNS as SaaS then I also use that but I don't need it internally for my network to function so I won't call it a dependancy.
Definitely cultural as the other guy said. When I visit the US I imagine I get much the same experience as you but instead of "friendly" and "alert" my description would be more "intrusive" and "transparently faking a level of happiness I only experience very infrequently and never while at work."
> At most companies, how you get a bonus and how much it is is very clearly defined, and so in that regard, it's not similar to tipping at all.

I'm surprised that this has been your experience. In many cases, even cases where bonus is 3x annual salary, the bonus is "discretionary" and little is clearly defined.

>"some"

Where?? That image looks unrelated to any men on the Moon.

>somehow they would not know how to add stars with Photoshop to said images is beyond inane

That level of detail would take huge computational power and software. It takes a lot more than putting bright spots on a fake picture to exactly align said dots and their intensity with our Universe, especially from multiple angles.
That link doesn't provide any facts to back up your claim.

As someone who has worked in the food industry, tipping is definitely correlated with performance (among a couple other obvious factors).
It's there a source for this? I find it hard to believe that some idiot hadn't tried to bring something onboard in the past 15 years.
You're welcome :) If you have any feedback on it after reading it and using vi for a bit, feel free to send me an email (address in my HN profile). I may be updating the tutorial after a while, to add a few other useful beginner vi (and maybe vim) features, and to include my own brief take on the "true power of vi" topics I mentioned in my earlier comment; so I would appreciate any feedback, and will try to incorporate it in the next version.

See, the problem is you aren't comparing to enough places. People don't typically sit around restaurants for three hours in Japan despite there being no tips. I'd say there are other cultural factors at play here -- European customers don't want to be rushed out and would dislike a restaurant that hurried them, tips or not.
How I ended up writing a new real-time kernel
Agreed. The biggest thing I look for when interviewing new developers isn't "how much do you know about X framework", it's "could you implement all of that without the framework?". Knowing bootstrap won't do you that much good if you don't understand how/why it does what it does. Similarly, I demand that Java developers are able to describe the underlying 'how' of Spring, rather than regurgitating tutorials from the Internet.
My TSA PreCheck experience:

- no removing shoes
- never bothered about my computer gear, screwdriver set, razor blades
- completely through security in a few minutes

Then I look at the people in he regular line while waiting for my friend and see everyone's personal space being invaded, bags rifled through, electronics and cables strewn about, harassed over the stupidest items

It's a joke. PreCheck is proof they aren't serious about security. Anyone could pay the $75 and walk through with dangerous items.

That said, I'll gladly continue to use PreCheck because if someone wants to attack an airport they'll attack the long security line which I won't be stuck in.
It was a bit of a technical achievement that Windows 95 managed to continue working at all when people buggered it up with 16-bit Windows drivers, DOS drivers, and old DOS programs like SMARTDRV
This is almost certainly going to rarely happen. Almost no server feels empowered enough to insist on this. And restaurant owners will start insisting on collecting and counting cash tips so they can fully account for the wages. No server wants their boss counting their cash tips. At least in Massachusetts, declared tips is self reported.

We don't live in a society where we get to design the future after considering all positive and negative sides. It's been tried, and results were disastrous.

Instead, we live in a society which is shaped by comleting self-interests. You're asking of freight NEEDS scale - for whose benefit? Ubers? Yes. His small scale competitors? No. Customers? We'll have to wait and see their verdict. All of us together? We don't have enough interests in common for this virtual entity to have any real meaning.
Unfortunately, we don't know how many attacks were not even attempted because of the existence and actions of the TSA. Them merely being there and doing these checks in these ways may very well have stopped many attempts to smuggle things on board.
The kitchen staff are paid much higher hourly and usually work full time. If you heard what kitchen staff say about customers you probably wouldn't want to tip them.

For example when I was a waiter we made $2.13 an hour. Kitchen staff were usually in the $10-$15 range and many of them got overtime.

Tipping is just a way for owners to increase profits by passing more cost to the customer.
Darktable stores 'catalogs' in SQLite tables. When I poked around for fun with sqlite3, the schemas seemed relatively straightforward. If the catalog data from lightroom can be wrangled into a reasonable format, it may be possible to convert it (famous last words).

The problem with this article is that it fails to recognize the real threat model. The objective of a terrorist is not to blow up a plane, it is to scary people and do this by killing and injuring the highest number of people while minimizing the risk of being detected.

If this is the threat model, why a rational terrorist should try to put the bomb on a plane? The Brussel Terror Attack has shown exactly this[0]. Terrorist killing themselves at the check-in counter (but they could have chosen the security lanes).

Obviously, we need airport security because the threat model is not only terrorists but also hijackers and smugglers (and non-rational terrorists?). Obviously, the risk of using the hijacked plane as a bomb, like in 11/9 is still a risk, but other measures like reinforced cabin doors are more effective for that.

So, basically, the TSA is a failure in making people safer and but a huge success in making traveler life miserable. TSA Pre-Check is nothing but them keeping on with their "good work".

Nice puff piece, wonder how much money did businessinsider get for that one
The way you talk, is like if basically the all rest of the world didn't had a functioning commerce without tipping.

Then again, it's also the typical mindset of the common American about everything else that works great in the rest of the 1st world but for which the average American keeps finding excuses not to do. I.E.: Universal Healthcare, Free Access to higher education, Gun Control, Light Drugs Legalisation, etc.
Allow liquids to stay in the carry-on since TSA scanners can detect threat liquids.

Tip to americans: tipping is ultra-confusing to foreign visitors. But you dont depend on tourism so you dont see it. Its an arduous procedure and the amount changes from state to state. It leads to a lot of misunderstanding. The service is good , leaning on overbearing sometimes, but overall i think its more hassle than benefit.

The fact that there are eight steps to get to your suggested solution only underlines my point that Google needs to create a simple solution to this problem. It should be three steps, tops.

That said, there are some weaknesses to this solution. Here's why: For larger businesses, they may have multiple websites, and those websites may need to work together. Additionally, they may be using GA to track actions through an app, for example, or steps in a marketing process. This solution might generally work for individual blogs, but it gets hairy as your needs get more complex.

And, as it turns out, the spam issues become more frustrating the more complex your setup gets.

At one restaurant I worked at you would be flagged in the system if reported tips were less than 15% of total sales. The managers would ask you and make sure you are reporting accurately. 20% is the norm in my area.

>A nice side effect of the tipping culture in the US is that this inefficiency is eliminated.

What you consider an "inefficiency" is part of a lifestyle in big parts of Europe. Going out to eat isn't just considered "calorie intake" that needs to be "as quick and efficient as possible", it's considered leisure and social time, especially in the southern parts of Europe like Greece, Italy or Spain.

It's also very seldom that people really manage to just drink one bottle of wine in 3 hours, usually it's bigger groups and they tend to drink a lot once they finished eating. Depending on how the restaurant prices their drinks the "3 hour drinking group" can end up making way more money for the restaurant than trying to shove 3 parties of "Just eat something with a small soda", into the same timeframe.

Are there any other good resources to train a text-to-speech voice?
People have forgotten guns and knives in their luggage that TSA has confiscated, and TSA proudly advertises those numbers. What is noticeably absent is information about any attacks TSA has thwarted. Of course it's possible some attacks have been prevented by deterrence but I doubt that as TSA has a 95℅ failure rate detecting explosives and other weapons[1].

Ability to buy multiple kits on demand = requirement for inventory = higher overhead = higher prices. Theoretically. You can tweak the inventory need but that still increases overhead (less) while simultaneously cutting into your margins.

Any time you see "$400 value for $10/mo!" it's marketing garbage, but you really can get for $20/mo what would probably cost you $25 or a little more if you bought it on-demand.

At a high level I agree with you and over the years I admit have become soft or I would argue more open minded and even keeled.

The need for population control policy has been discussed many times on HN. Some argue technology can fix the problem as well as education others are more to the extreme saying we need almost draconian enforcement.

Many scifi writers have explored extreme (and dubious) urbanization which include carbon nano towers (Arthur C Clark Space Odyssey some year I don't remember).

Historically urbanization has a cultural impact on lowering reproduction (source needed but I recall reading it I think in the Economist). That is you may not need as much policy as you might think.
Looking at the alternatives on this thread, I'm glad I've been procrastinating on the right website.
Not sure about your statement...

In the Netherlands this is still done quite often because the soil is too unstable. Concrete piles are driven into the weak soil until it hits the sand. Houses are typically built on top. The pole can be protected with a wooden block that due to the friction can set fire.

Amsterdam is known to be built on wooden piles that remain intact as long as they stand under water: pumping away the water will cause the piles to rot and the houses to sink away.

A friend had much success with a payroll system in China. All done in English, satisfying the compliance need for international companies which had a small presence but kept getting fined and in trouble with their home offices because they weren't in compliance with local law when the law quickly changed: tiny HR division, etc. China does not lack software engineers, but it does rely on manual solutions which software solutions quickly solve.

Not saying do payroll. Just saying do something that solves a lot of people's problems and can start generating some revenue quickly.
