How do other people respond when watching ads ?

Do they think

- "meh it's all bs ..."

- "hmm I'd like that! can't wait to go to the mall and get one"

- "oh I didn't know this, it could help me <there>"

?

I recall feeling 3) once in my life, it surprised me because that was my first deep positive reaction to an ad. Even though I've seen similar products all my life.

Does marketing count on negative bias in their theory ? "he may dislike the add but we have a foot in the door now, he'll buy our shit later"
I don't think this is off-topic. But you are completely off the mark.

Health insurance: What you linked is an amendment that adds sanctions to illegally refusing social security coverage. Whether you think that's OK or not is irrelevant - it's not a speech issue.

"saying you should not do abortion": You are grossly misrepresenting what that is. Abortion is considered an integral right for french women. What your link says is that it's illegal to try to prevent them.

> Cet article punit d'un emprisonnement de deux ans et/ou d'une amende de 30 000 francs le fait d'empêcher ou de tenter d'empêcher une interruption volontaire de grossesse ou les actes préalables : soit en pertubant l'accès aux établissements d'hospitalisation publics ou privés satisfaisant aux dispositions de l'article L. 176 du code de la santé publique ; soit en exerçant des menaces ou tout acte d'intimidation à l'encontre des personnels médicaux et non médicaux travaillant dans ces établissements ou des femmes venues y subir une interruption volontaire de grossesse.

To translate: Preventing, or attempting to prevent a voluntary abortion is punished by two years in prison and/or a 30000 francs fine. "Either by preventing access to hospitals or threatening/intimidating working personnel or patients."
Something romance then. Whatever derivative of Latin they used.
I love arch and would be using it if my hardware worked better out of the box. Having to tinker with blacklisted drivers and manual pulseaudio configuration is only fun the first couple of times. Nowadays I just install xubuntu and add bspwm on top and everything works.
Wow paying $10k+ to network, that's great value. I might as well go shoot myself now, because that's just idiotic. Sorry for being harsh, but that's something I couldn't disagree with more and sounds like someone coming from a very very privileged background too.

I don't have WSL available, but I would love some numbers for tasks like cloning a large repository with git and running cmake. These things tend to be slow on Windows due to fork, see for instance this comparison for Windows vs. Linux in a VM:

Start by making a landing page dedicated to your google campaign traffic. Pay attention to the results and try to make changes to improve conversion rate.

Some of those will be changes to the LP, some of it will be narrowing the targeting of your ads to exclude unprofitable segments.

Is easy really, to get something from ads. You just need to stop half-assing it.
Yes, of course -- that's why it's called Impostor SYNDROME. If you think about it logically, of course you belong there, and everyone has their own foibles.

I was 6 months into my PhD in physics - just been given assignment based on obscure Austrian codebase and a quick briefing based on nature article ("Let's discuss when you have something - seeya!") when an opportunity in software came about (a graphics gig - the last thing I wanted to do was write CRUD apps). Never looked back. I was ridiculously underequipped in theoretical as well as practical side beyond linear algebra and C++ but we had a great team and I had the chance to learn quickly.

One thing - if you decide to move to industry, make sure the first years you can learn from someone more talented than you - even if informally. This is critical, software is a craft.

> At most, the dream of ad-funded websites might be dead. (I wish!)

What you are wishing for is a world in which access to things like Google Search which we take utterly for granted now are forced to become paid services. What are the implications of that, particularly for the world's poorest?
Well, my 36k salary, while working around Paris, disagree with your assertion.
I'm sorry for not replying earlier :) Really, in theory this is very easy. You need a command and control channel, but one that is secured and not abusable. In the first years, I used a CRON job that would pull the configuration files off a load balanced domain. Now, I've upgraded to a self made encrypted P2P version which I really do not want to talk about. However, even if I were to die in a horrible accident, all systems would remain like they are in good condition. This is, like someone mentioned, due to custom repositories that repond to each client uniquely, like someone here suggested. There's no magic to be found here :)
I have ridden those trains (spent 2011-2016 in China), and they're pretty great, but they're hard to justify economically:

> The overall bill is already high. China Railway Corporation, the state-owned operator of the train system, has debts of more than 4trn yuan, equal to about 6% of GDP. Strains were evident last year when China Railway Materials, an equipment-maker, was forced to restructure part of its debts. Six lines have started to make operating profits (ie, not counting construction costs), with the Beijing-Shanghai link the world’s most profitable bullet train, pulling in 6.6bn yuan last year. But in less populated areas, they are making big losses. A state-run magazine said the line between Guangzhou and the province of Guizhou owes 3bn yuan per year in interest payments—three times more than it makes from ticket sales.

I wish it weren't so, but they look like Iridium, as mentioned by a very-downvoted comment. The builder makes enormous losses.

But they're built now, and that isn't going to be undone. I hope.

Exactly - In my opinion there is no "identity theft". There is criminal fraud, which the banks are a victim of. However, instead of dealing with that fraud they just pass the costs on to an unrelated individual and then shrug and say "you deal with it".

Google does something much like this - but without regulation or clear appeal process.

> For the startups: Don't think so. Corporations need to generate profits to pay taxes. ;)

You are contradicting your own point. A startup with zero profit can still be taxed at a very high rate and pay almost zero taxes simply because there is no profit to be taxed. But the rule would still apply in this case.
The "4-year renewable" visa would make me hesitate, unless you don't mind going back to where you came from in case your business didn't work out or you got laid off. The feeling that you're in a temporary situation can't be very nice, and will prevent you from fully committing and settling down properly.

Why not offer a Green Card or some other kind of Permanent Residency?
This is my experience as well. You need to speak French.
I buy coffee beans in bulk, fair trade organic.

I keep it in the freezer, but even just a few weeks after opening, the flavor of the beans aren't like the zest of the original unsealing of the vacuum sealed bag.

I would like something like 1 oz sealed bags of beans that I can buy in bulk. Maybe even larger sizes. That way, every time I grind, I am getting that freshly-opened flavor.

Bonus: with smaller bags, you can sell sampler packs, flights, or varieties to people who are looking to sample your blends.
If you go somewhere like Amsterdam you wouldn't have any problems since everyone speaks English.
I think your alternatives for a factory worker are interesting as they are jobs whose wages I know are being driven down by (often illegal) immigrant labor. House cleaning is the most notorious and has almost always been done by fresh off the boat immigrants for peanuts, I pay my mexican maid in Austin $75 in cash for a day of labor. Elder care pays employees a bit more but usually less than $10 an hr. How many jokes are there that maids or elder care nurses are from foreign nations? Just the other day I saw a Seinfeld episode where the elderly care taker was african and didn't speak english. Of your suggestions the only with decent pay is nursing which requires a degree and my mom constantly complains about the thousands of oversee nurses they fly over every year to drive down her wages. Similar to how Tech the employers complain about the huge talent shortage but don't pay competitive salaries and rather import labor.

I don't know where I'm going with this other than to say that the Trump voters are justifiably angry at the WHOLE DAMN SYSTEM and suggesting the entire rust belt become house cleaners or personal aides is silly.
EconTalk: Michael Munger on Basic Income [Audio and Transcript]
That's a use case that was emphasized, but it doesn't appear that the government's actually aware of that limitation:

> M. Pierre Lellouche ... told the National Assembly. “They deliberately use the argument of public freedoms to make money knowing full well that the encryption used to[sic] drug traffickers, to serious [criminals] and especially to terrorists. It is unacceptable that the state loses any control over encryption..."

And whether or not it is supposed to "only apply to terrorism acts", there's no cryptographic algorithm that has a case for "secure unless the government is investigating an act of terrorism".

The point is that French law requires applications to be designed in such a way that key disclosure will allow customer data to be extracted. Signal, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Apple iMessage, and other end-to-end apps would be illegal.
The HIPAA act of 1997 says otherwise. As long as you had continuous coverage for a certain number of days they couldn't deny you based on a pre-existing condition.

That's nice. I prefer living in a first world country with a first world economy, myself.

Why do you think caring for the elderly, providing child care to working women and making Ubers more available would make the economy third world?

Do you believe India would suddenly become more prosperous if people refused to work? Will people sitting at home watching TV somehow build toilets for everyone?

My reciepts say otherwise. When planning trips to europe from NA the train options between cities end up costing almost as much as the intercontinental flight. Jumping on a discount airline from a secondary airport is ussually the cheaper option.
Every time I made the trip, the train London-Paris was cheaper than the corresponding air travel (and significantly more pleasant).
No. How would it know what the correct one is? They would refuse to autofill it though, because the URL wouldn't match anything for any logins stored.
>I have dreams of living and coding by the Mediterranean Sea. :)

Not to rain on your parade, but France is still highly centralized around Paris. You'll have _extreme_ difficulty finding clients and building relationships if you're not working (by which I mean: spending most of your time) in Paris.
What's the general deal with startup visas? Your startup fails, you have to quit the country? Seems like it raises the stakes for very little reason unless the country is otherwise startup-favourable.
> even variable names in the code, all was in English

As a English-is-my-second-language person I can't imagine naming variables using any other language but English.

English is most of the times more concise than my mother language (Polish), and it is much easier to share code on the net, find help on stackoverflow, etc.

Well, getting lost in translation is something normal, isn't it? I have been 1 year in Germany and I tried to learn German. If you don't want to learn a new culture/language it's going to be difficult for sure. Why a whole country should adapt to you?
Some english speaking guys don't want to make effort to adapt and I really think that they miss the most important & fun part of travelling/living abroad.
You can raise money in english in France. No issue on that.

Ask HN: Your Thoughts on a Customer Success tool we are building
We are building a tool where we plan to integrate website analytics, product usage analytics, support and email data into one place to get a complete view of the user. Looking to target growth, success and marketing folks.

Would you be interested in Beta testing the product?
Doesn't really need to be terribly efficient, good enough will do for the price.

One issue is that there's only one USB port on the board, and the external ports and the ethernet port are connected through a hub. So when you connect an external harddrive and try to transfer data over the network you end up with < 10 MB/s transfer speeds.

If Broadcomm decided to use DMA for their USB that would of course be ideal, but I don't know if they have any suitable products like that.

Of course 4K and h.265 video decoding would be welcome too for a lot of users.
MIT 6.S094: Introduction to Deep Learning and Self-Driving Cars – Lecture 1
Scrum is still in fashion, perhaps you could add Scrum Master to your CV maybe even get a certificate to go with it. Then it depends on your office politics.
So what you are saying is that it is a great place if you are content with the government deciding how to spend a very large portion of your hard earned income?

Is there even an incentive to work? What are the unemployment benefits?
Be careful making education to attractive; you risk creating a cadre of an equivalent of otherwise unhappy religious studies graduates.
Plus employee welfare in France is ridiculous, ultimately harmful to their economy..
Yes, but having a proper ethernet on the edge connector would avoid the need for an RJ-11 and allow integrating a switch on the board hosting the CMs and prevent the usual mess with cables forming around the boards.

At least, that's what I'd hope.
I'm afraid the point of parole is that it can be decided at the border, at the entire discretion of the custom officers, without needing change in laws (hence why Obama is doing it this way). So, even if there was a guideline about this, you're getting zero guarantee that you will be admitted in next time.

What have those non-free, taxation based, universities produced?

25 years of economic stagnation, low innovation, increasing marginalization of France as a consequential economy in the global order (they've been sinking down the list for 40 years), perpetual high unemployment, and a GDP per capita that has failed to keep up to such a dramatic degree that it needs to climb 70% to catch the US.

With results like those, the tax payers are clearly not getting a good return on their non-free education system.
That's the interesting part. Individually, people declare their aversion/immunity to advertising. As a whole, marketers measure the lift and attribute revenue to efforts across a segment with high statistical confidence.

Either there are enough highly susceptible people to offset the ad-immune crowd, or marketing works in much more sophisticated ways than we realize.

Talking to Others
Short answer: no.

This may have been true at one point in time, but it's certainly no longer the case. I think this myth comes from a mix of two things:

a) differences in intonation that some people (mostly Americans) interpret as aggressive or hostile, when really they're not

b) the possibility that this was true in the past (e.g. during the 50's, perhaps because the French were eager to see stationed GIs leave)
I've had a bike stolen where the frame manufacturer offers a simple online service to report a bike as stolen. There is zero excuse for anyone buying it to not check the number that is engraved onto the frame, not to mention with police who similarly have the serial number in a database.

Imagine if people had to drive around in creaking beater cars with leaking roofs because you couldn't store anything nicer anywhere but a garage with surveillance, and even then if someone finds out you have a nice car in a garage, there will be a breakin. That's pretty much the situation with bikes, and police simply shrug at what in most cities is very much organized crime and a huge quality of life issue.
In parallel :-) Divide that number by the number of telescopes in operation (in this case 12) and you're fetching 433 GB/sec on a telescope. Imagine that is I/Q data coming from the antenna. Now you're only looking for neutral hydrogen which has a much narrower spectrum, so you process that data with a band pass decimating filter, that takes you down to a few GB/sec. Then take the redshift into account and process everything that is in your 'target range' (a red shift of .26) plus or minus a bit and now your down to perhaps megabytes per second per telescope.
If you don't want to find clients, then by all means live somewhere else. ;)

France is very Paris-centric, especially in terms of the service industry.
That works out to 37.5% tax. I paid considerably more than that working in California when you include health insurance.
Why would they get answers? They might ask well as if any particular stock is going to go up or down.
Luckily, AIP has a survey for this as well!

Only 3% of surveyed physics PhDs took 4 years, nobody took less and 6-7 years was average.
That's not really what I was asking about. I was asking about a comparative cost between a) paying people who would otherwise "commit crime, start riots, devalue property" or b) just walling ourselves off from them.

You're just comparing two different versions of (a).
