Modulo a world war, a revolution in a major country, a Great Depression and its accompanying famines, another world war, another revolution in another major country, multiple revolutions in multiple minor countries, and multiple localized famines in minor countries. Oh, and repeated genocides.

There was no comfortable transition from pre-industrial agrarianism to social democracy. There was horror, pain, and death at levels to which we've now learned to say, "Never again."

You can purchase mass produced stuff but the quality of vape you get is much better with DIY setups, though it puts the onus of safe design parameters on the builder. With electronically regulated devices this risk goes down a great deal, older gen (though still in wide use) devices called mechanical mods would basically short circuit a lithium battery to a coil of wire - if the resistance is too low you pull way too much power for the battery and catastrophic heating occurs.

A VAT taxes consumption, not lowering cost of production. If I am reading this right, what the EU are considering seems like a new type of tax, a tax on improvements in production efficiency (specifically, lowering labour input).

Note that this is also different than company tax. When goods become cheaper to make through automation yes, some or all of that might turn up as profit.

But it also might result in lower prices being passed on to customers and a more competitive company. Company tax wouldn't capture this.

For industries which are almost fully automated already (e.g. textile manufacturing) it does not seem there would be much impact. But it would (from my point of view, arbitrarily) punish new types of automation introduced after such a tax were applied.
Like everything else, not everything will be perfect and mistakes will happen. Fine line articles are of course a grey area for the "off topic" rule but at least give us some semblance of maintaining the rules. For example, the few weeks before the election were total chaos, we should strive to not reach that point of political take over again.
As a developer, the first thing I think when I see this is: am I going to be locked into a proprietary solution ? what happens when you suddenly increase your prices or your company goes down ?

Ask HN: Advice on fair ownership percentage for a non-typical new venture
Hi All,

I've developed a product from within Company A, while being a typical employee. I am the only person at Company A with the knowledge to both have built and to drive the product. The idea was mine originally, but that's irrelevant given I am an employee. The product has become a critical business component, and over the last two years, it has become obvious that it could stand on its own ground as a spin-off business. This idea has been tested, and Company A has invited Company B to co-own the product in a joint program. So, currently the ownership of the product is 50% Company A and 50% Company B, with both as primary and sole users of the product. I am still an employee of Company A, technically. Both companies have funded development of this project 100% while I take a market rate salary.

All parties (Comps A/B and myself) with interest in moving forward would like to now properly start up this product into a company on its own right. It has been recognized that I will receive some portion of ownership in this company, and that I will be CEO/CTO, dependent on arrangement. (Likely the former) It's also recognized that the company now includes myself as a shareholder/ownership partner. There may be one/two additional junior ownership partners introduced at this stage, but my concern is working out the details with the two primary owners (my employer and Company B) at this point. I expect to retain my market rate salary going forward, albeit as an employee of new company.

My question is: Assuming I am the primary intellectual capital behind this venture (both in the past and going forward as we look to grow this as a real business), what, in your mind, would be a fair ownership split?

Not "just as easily". Can you imagine the scale of the project to take public photos and correctly identify them?
People don't have to build their own coils - there's plenty of devices on the market that take factory-produced cartridges with a coil & wick all set up for you, you just swap out the cartridge when it gets old. Most casual "vapers" just use those, for convenience as much as for safety.

But building coils is a hobby in its own right - there's lots of different variables you can tinker with (coil diameter, number of turns, wire gauge, wire material, wick material, wicking style, multiple coils in parallel, ...) and get slightly different results. It's fun to experiment, and there's a sense of achievement when you get a complicated build working just right. It appeals in the same way that overclocking your computer does, for example, or tuning your car/bike engine.

Also, all those cartridges will eventually be discontinued as the manufacturer moves on to new devices - but you can keep using a rebuildable device as long as you can get suitable resistance wire (Kanthal A1, Nichrome, or a certain grade of stainless steel) and wick (organic cotton, cellulose fibre, or silica yarn). And those raw materials cost basically nothing per coil, compared to a few dollars for each of those cartridges.
I don't disagree with your broader point that "Yelp for drugs" is insufficient, but I'd still like to see some sources for your specific claims about Tylenol. From what I can tell from quick Googling, liver damage is quite rare unless the dosages are well beyond the recommendation, or taken habitually, or combined with an already extreme and dangerous dose of alcohol.
Yes you have to pay for InMail. Just be clear and concise. Worked for a Freshdesk vuln we reported. I pinged the ceo.
There's some really interesting inconsistencies in that table. E.g. some think tractors for fieldwork aren't OK but lawnmowers are, for others somehow chainsaws are bad but washing machines are fine etc.

Looking these over there doesn't seem to be any clear pattern to me. The grandparent mentioned them not wanting things that will "drastically change their way of life", surely having a washing machine is a bigger change to your life than having a chainsaw, even if you're a farmer.

Since Ken is being brought up in this thread, I think I'll share my favorite view of his: you should take a painting class.

http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/what-is-photography.htm

I think it's especially valuable as it approaches the problem from the opposite end. In photography, you have a scene and you're trying to frame it. In painting, you start with just a frame and decide how to fill it. That forces you to start with a few strong compositional elements and elaborate from there. It gives you an intuition for the minimum needed for a coherent image.

The problem with teaching this stuff with photography, and the reason the classes you seek don't really exist, is that it's very difficult to communicate about it via a camera. On a painting, you can sketch to start and have an instructor come by and ask questions about why things are positioned in certain ways, what else you might do, etc. With photography, you have to instead select and pare down to the desired image.

Painting is about intention.

Photography is about selection.

In the end, they become the same thing, reach the same goal, but the learning process is dramatically different.

Chances are really good that your favorite photographer has a background in art, too.

We subsidize highways and air travel at the expense of other ground options. It shouldn't be 70% cheaper for me to drive my family to Florida or the Carolinas for vacation from NY vs air or rail. But it is.

At least you get free food. My wife and I are fighting about this all the time. It's extremely tough to just work home and not meet other people. You'll need to socialize somehow.

You might enjoy the article "Amish Hackers" [1], which looks in more detail at the Amish approach to technology.

I don't know precisely how easy it is to "rig" an FDA trial, and I don't know precisely how easy it would be to "buy" enough MD reviews to get a good "Yelp" rating for an unsafe treatment. I suspect both are quite possible given enough money, but I don't know which would be easier.
> Maybe we could back-date the impact of automation to the invention of the steam engine, perhaps, since this is clearly an ongoing trend and not something that is only starting in 2017.

I believe that the steam engine mainly replaced horses, not people.
I'm not sure how automation caused this, or more to the point how taxing it can update have changed the outcome in any way. Are you suggesting that if we taxed the steam and internal combustion engines we could have avoided WW2? Or are you just saying the transition was painful before and we ought to do something to help with the current one (without saying whether this tax is necessary)
Fan fiction is mostly terrible, but it appears frequently enough to be good enough to compete for the new rare commodity, reader's attention.

tokyo has way better access to public transport than Paris. And better quality transport too. Again chauvinism coming out whenever anything is mentioned about France. Paris n est pas le nombril du monde.
Off the top of my head, large-ish French tech software companies (I would not call them startups at this point) include: Criteo, Dailymotion, Leboncoin, Withings, Parrot, BlaBlaCar, Sigfox... You could also include older companies like Murex or Ubisoft, as well as OVH. You may also want to look at other fields where France is recognized for its expertise (energy, pharmaceuticals...).

> Then with CDIs making it almost impossible to fire anyone

This myth has to stop. It's almost impossible to fire anyone on the spot. You can't tell them "go home, and I don't want to hear from you again". You have to give them up to 3 months notice (depending on the contract, for engineers, it's going to be 3 months).

But you can still have them go home and never come back, as long as those 3 months are paid.

Edit: BTW, it works both ways. You can't quit on a whim either. You need to give the same amount of notice.

> Is Signal's system (not user data) fully open and transparent, end-to-end?

I believe that it is not transparent in the usual sense, because the server-side component is has no source available, but also that it does not need to be transparent in a cryptographic sense: the amount of information known by the Signal servers is minimal, and doesn't include messages, contact graphs, or even which users are communicating with each other. It does include what users they have and what phone numbers, and when they log in / where from: I assume they could also learn whether someone is using Signal at a given time and how much (from bytes transferred) but nothing more interesting about the conversation. I believe the use of Google Cloud Messaging is the same way.

I haven't looked into the protocol myself and I'm not sure if all of this is true. In particular, while OWS says they don't have any "records" of who a user is communicating with (https://whispersystems.org/bigbrother/eastern-virginia-grand...), I'm not actually sure if this means they're just not logging it, and a system could be built to record this.
Well, Plato tried to make Alcibiades into an ethical person.

The basic assumption behind much ethical philosopher is that human beings are naturally amoral and so they need to persuaded by a set of ironclad arguments as to what is good and that they should be good. Kant, for instance, argues we can't rely on our feelings so we need to have a set of absolutely clear moral principles to follow. Bernard Williams became famous for arguing this is not the case.

Your ignorant remark about me does you no credit.

Very healthy individuals who had could get access to insurance before the ACA are paying more.(because of the very popular pre-existing conditions part of the ACA)

Are you sure they are paying for less coverage? Pretty much all individual health plans pre-ACA paid out more in the median case, and less in the average case, a whole lot less in the worst case. Basically they would pay for check ups, but totally skip town if you got cancer.

That's really unfortunate because I think too many people misunderstand safety in rust. The word "trust" absolutely describes safe blocks better than the word "safe" does.
The people who need not spend energy to control their cursing have more energy left to lie.

These kinds of after-thought rationalizations can always work both ways.

Paris is one of the few places I would go out of my way to live in (at least without the current unrest), but the rent really kills it for me. That would be an instant downgrade in life quality that I wouldn't want long term.
It's not a rumor. Yes, TLS doesn't work, but that's not a big deal, because you can still allow unsecure connections.

The issue is that you see 3 people are online, you can also receive their messages, but they can't see anything you write[1]. This behavior is worse than outright blocking, because it creates confusion at first seems like everything works and why people are complaining, then makes you suspicious that perhaps Jabber is broken, and in order to talk to your friends you might start using gmail.com.

Is this generally true? I recall reading that the first generation does all the things you talk about--it's how they got rich in the first place. But then the later generations tend more towards the "trust fund baby" stereotype: living off the wealth generated by their parents without doing much to grow it.

A moderate increase in user fees (gas taxes today, mileage fees in an electric future) could readily fund all capital and maintenance costs for the US interstate system. Gas wouldn't have to be that much more expensive than it was 4-5 years ago. The system would endure and could even be profitable.

No such fee structure could plausibly fund any rail system outside the NE Corridor. Prices adequate to sustain the network, let alone build it up, would put ridership into a death spiral.
It dilutes the word though. Like how "awesome" used to mean something.

The issue isn't so much you not viewing the site - but rather ad-blocking.

Not having readership is one thing - but people who still want your content, but refuse to pay, or view the ads, well that's another.

I respect people who don't view sites like say, the NYT, or WSJ or The Economist etc. because those sites show ads. Or that won't buy the hardcopy magazines because there is ad space.

What I can't respect is people still trying to view those sites and defeat their anti-ad-blocks.

Or who complain about how link-baity the articles on HN are, or why there are fluff pieces here - but don't think, hey, good content costs money

I suppose if those sites went the way of intrusive, pop-under/pop-over ads, I might chance my tune - but on the whole, I've found the text/small image ads so far on them a reasonable exchange.
I live in Lancaster PA and most Amish can't afford the farm land here anymore (its become housing and malls) and have moved west. Lots of Amish now work in the trades (construction/electrical/roofing/etc.) Someone picks them up and takes them to their job sites. Their general low standard of living (no car payments or electronics budgets) allow for that to be a very solid income for most.

I don't believe so; they are related though. A union can force enforcement of laws, or simply strike; a law has to be enforced. Many laws on the books are unenforced.

Generally, to be frank, I think the labor movement in the US is due for a revival and unions should take the lead in that.

It's in my mind that gig workers are properly neither contractors nor employees, as understood commonly (not legally - they can fall into either bucket legally, iirc). They deserve a spot in the law and protections thereof.
