The system here is that you can get tons of subventions and tax credits for being in IT.

So yes, corporate tax and personal income tax applies, aswell as other stuff. You just have to figure out how much of this tax will be cancelled or refunded (usually this is the kind of infos that get shared in french startup networks).
There are several suggested implementations of UBI, one of which is based on negative income tax. In that case, the amount of money you get from the government is based on how much money you make.
because London is sat next door with considerably higher salaries, and everyone there speaks English

not to mention setting up a company costs £14, 20% corporation tax (dropping to 17%), tax back for individuals investing in SEIS companies (which is easy for a firm apply for), and R&D tax credits
IO has been a big problem for the Raspberry Pi and cheap ARM boards in general. Until a board comes out with gigabit ethernet* and SATA/USB3* you'll probably get better value for money with conventional mobos.

* Note: A couple boards already have better IO... but lack the amount of software support that the Pi gets. e.g. Mainline Kernel support

The future of easy travel
What we do?
A traveller will fill out our questionnaire with details of their upcoming trip, which the software program then automatically matches you with a local from the area you are looking to travel to. The local then uses the information you filled out in our questionnaire to create your perfect itinerary.

We're pre-launch right now, but we're looking for people to come along with us for the ride! We have designed the desktop and mobile version of our product, and have also designed the app. Right now we're looking to improve our online presence and create a genuine following before we seek investment.

What we could use?
Followers who's voice we actually appreciate and listen to. We are prepping advertisements, and expanding our brand in terms of illustration and emotive connection. More specifically we are expanding our Facebook and Instagram.

Again, we can really use followers with a voice and opinion. Help us launch, and let us help you travel without worry!

At CES's startup area Eureka Park, I was stunned by the French turnout -- with, of course, the usual wide variation in seeming quality or likelihood of finding a market you might expect, still it wasn't another row of VR headsets for my phone.
You've really hit on the elephant nobody talks about because talking about actual inborn differences in human ability is taboo across the board.

What we will see in the 21st century is a large fraction of the human population fall off the edge where the marginal value of their labor becomes <=0 no matter what they do. They can't change this because they got a bad hand in the genetic lottery, which is not their fault.

This is very different from industrialization 1.0. That created a lot of jobs because the machines were dumb, and because economic growth was huge. Now the machines are smart and growth is slow.

Welfare state, violent revolution, or absolute surveillance state totalitarianism and starving ghettos. Pick one dystopia. I think welfare state is definitely the least of these evils.

Eventually we could fix this with augmentation and universally available genetic engineering, but the tech is not ready and the social, philosophical, and religious understanding and assimilation is even less ready than the tech. The process of cultural adoption cannot even begin until the tech is mature enough. Unskilled labor disrupting AI will arrive long before the means of improving ourselves.

Edit: some have brought up the Flynn effect and evidence IQ is growing. Unfortunately even if true I think it's far too slow. Automation tech is advancing much faster with a decades shorter iteration cycle. Doubt digit median IQ growth over decades would probably be required to prevent mass unemployment at the scale of billions and that's pure sci-fi.

Some opinions are not only socially incorrect, they can get you to jail.
Examples of forbidden topics: homosexuals, non-white people, jews, saying that you don't need health insurance…

Of course not endorsing anything about those topics, just saying that forbiding any debate on those topics may not be a long-term solution to solve those societal questions. We get the popular far-right party FN for some reason I think.

"Perhaps a better photo to make your point: http://en.people.cn/n3/2016/0229/c90000-9022441-11.html"

Neither your or your parents photo represents "elevating the rails to avoid interference with the property below".

What's happening in these photos is that either there is a flood plain below the tracks and/or there is a maximum grade (elevation) change that they need to respect and so they are "flattening" the track with those pillars.

Those pillars are not there to be nice, they're there because of physical constraints.
Many people don't need to be portable. I work in office and used to have a desktop, but now I use a laptop that never moves from the desk.

You have a very old laptop - while still usable, a modern laptop would be much faster than what you are using now. So you could still get the performance you want without going to a desktop.

Not sure where you live, but in the USA we can get very cheap PC's on Slickdeals, lower end Dell servers for $250 or loaded Dell XPS desktops for $600

Also from the UK and I have the upmost respect for anyone that can speak a second language. I find it incredibly difficult to get beyond a base vocabulary to actually being able to use the language without sounding like a cave man. I assume there'll be a "click" moment somewhere but its hard work getting there.
Not the GP, but yes I would. The problem is that this is very hard to demonstrate for several reasons.

First, most analyses assume that healthcare is fungible, so anyone who "has healthcare" is considered to be in the same boat. This is untrue. Most government-provided healthcare systems rank quite poorly in terms of wait times, fatality rates, etc. compared to private healthcare.

Second, it's hard to distinguish the benefit of government medical systems from the benefit of freeing the private medical system from legal red tape. For example, many people cite lower drug costs as a benefit of government medicine. This is not an intrinsic feature of "single-payer" healthcare, but rather a result of the fact that drug agencies in the US have the full weight of the patent system behind them in order to create artificial scarcity and drive up prices. In other countries, since the government both buys drugs and controls IP, the government always has the threat of removing IP rights to a drug if a company fails to provide a "reasonable" price, which simulates actual competition. One could get the same effect by changing the nature of medical IP rather than taking the drastic measure of publicizing drug purchases. That is a utility analysis I'd really like to see.

Third, one must include the utility of having a choice. There are both psychological and practical components to this, but it's better when you're not forced to pay for a service you don't want. I know how good private healthcare can be; just go to a tourist hospital in Mexico or India. Truly an awesome experience. A super easy way to get all the alleged benefits of socialized healthcare (especially affordability) is just to deregulate the shit out of hospitals. A lot of Americans are scared about that because they think deregulation is synonymous with the triangle shirtwaist factory, but it's truly a mind-bending experience how good the healthcare is in medically deregulated countries.
This is so true - I hated with passion all that was force-fed to us, for some reason particularly stuff in high school. The only exception for whatever reason for me were foreign languages, physics and history (probably because they were easier for me to learn compared to rest).

It took years to find surprising interest (even passion) in things like biology, geography, or literature for that matter (chemistry is still a big mystery to me, although basic principles seem trivial). Grammar in any language is is still a big no-no.

It might seem ridiculous but if you pick an expensive language course, that adds some proper motivation (with added value of good teachers/materials).
FWIW no need to go as far as India (or China or SE Asia) to find mediocrity. There's also plenty in Europe and North America. The main difference is you're in the same office as the bad developers, so you spot them faster.

Until today I haven't actually thought about it. Not every language handles strings the same, as you pointed out.

I still think it's good to have around for helping you reveal what you don't know, about what you don't know.

Ancient Greek has an interesting coincidental evolution here in that its specific character for representing `/w/` was, in the classical period, referred to as digamma, literally 'double-gamma', because it looks like two gammas. The sound of digamma follows a similar usage of English 'w'[1], in that it is a 'consonantal doublet' of the Greek upsilon (both upsilon and digamma are derived from the same Phonecian letter, waw). However, the character itself doesn't have the same convenient surface-to-deep mapping, and it ended up as the Latin alphabet 'F'.

If you want to one level deeper, the sound 'F' came to represent is the 'voiceless labiodental fricative'. This means it has a pairing in the pronunciation space with 'V', the 'voiced labiodental fricative'. So Greek 'Digamma' became Latin 'F' in form, which is paired with Latin 'V' which became English 'W' which originally was represented by Greek 'Digamma' in sound.

None of this really means anything, but it tickles my brain.

---

[1] Albeit with very different evolutionary paths; English 'w' was used, in part, to allow representation of both Germanic and Latinate words.

How do you know that there won't be enough jobs?
I think it's more like 40%. But at least we have free schools, free universities (ok, sometimes 500EUR/year) and a decent public health service.

I also grew up and lived in France for 20+ years and have lived in UK for 5+ years. It's true that I earn more in UK than in France but for example to compare public health systems, although both are free, NHS is really the worse and it does not seem it's going to get any better in the future.
I myself have only a CS background (BSc + MSc in CS), and I am working in IT for last 8 years. Initially, I used to have negative opinion towards people from other non-CS backgrounds able to get jobs as Software Engineers and as IT Managers/Directors.

Now for the past 5 years, I am highly appreciative of such people because each of them bring knowledge and interesting viewpoints from their respective academic/training backgrounds which serves to enrich the IT world. Thank you guys :-)

I don't think most of the issues with freedom of speech in France would be of much concern to a putative startup founder, but they are real.

For example, "expressing support for acts of terror" is an imprisonable offense, and it has been interpreted incredibly broadly by the courts, to the point that drunk people have been sent to prison for years over tasteless jokes. Similarly, simply browsing websites that are deemed in support of terrorism: a man from Chartres recently received a two-year sentence for the latter.

It's fair to say that the current climate is pretty Orwellian. But if you're not a brown person or a Muslim, you're not what prosecutors are after.

As long and energy and time left is enough to work just for the love of it. Although I might not feel like work, producing quality work certainly takes considerable amounts of time and energy. Side projects are hard to even complete without discipline and focus.

> Money obscures one’s relationship to work; it distances us from ourselves and the things we make

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

The personal income taxes apply though.

The other huge problem with France (and Europe in general) is the problem that you can't fire bad/unneeded employees easily.

Continental Europe is a bad environment for young companies that need to be agile. Too much red tape and regulation. And when you survive all that, the state is going to take most of your profits as taxes and compulsory social contributions (and compulsory non-social contributions cough German IHK cough).

EU countries can come up with as many visa and incubator schemes as they like. But they won't attract many entrepreneurs. Because if I'm an entrepreneur in the position to start a business in another country then I'm going to choose the best one: The USA.

(I'm an European just btw.)

Everything he mentioned seems very clearly socialist to me. What would you say isn't?
But the null-hypothesis remains that it is junk. The hypothesis is that it is not junk, borrowing evidence from neural networks in which (1) things that look like noise are actually distributed representations and (2) in which noise improves robustness and facilitates exploration. This evidence is possibly transferable because both processes, neural network training and evolution can be formalized as a high-dimensional optimization problem (one being informed by gradient information while the other just randomly mutates and exploits ensemble effects of recombination).

I did a master's in econometrics and that was my experience. In the last year of my undergrad, I took a course in machine learning that seemed to have way more intellectual rigor than any of the material covered in grad school.

At one point, I mentioned to the professor that I was concerned that the model he had presented was overfitting, and he had no understanding of what the term meant.
I think that economics studies fascinating problems (how do people make choices? What are the optimal choices for policy makers to make?) but economists approach the problem completely wrong.
2 things :

- they tell you explicitly you can contact the consulate, that's when you're not in France

- If you're already in France, there is a big chance you've already been in contact with the prefecture, so you'll know what it is. Besides, it's very googleable.

Finally, yes, the prefecture is definitely not the best place to hang out, but I'd be surprised if they did not get very precise and direct instructions on how to take care of those candidates.

You either have no idea what you're talking about or you're lying on purpose. Or both. Nobody has been jailed for "saying they don't need health insurance".

Our freedom of speech, like in the rest of europe, is slightly more restrictive than in the US (as in: there is a concept of restricted hate speech) but the fact that the FN even exists should go a long way to showcase that you don't get jailed for stuff like that.

And in the future, if you're going to bring extraordinary claims to HN, bring a damn source.

Yeah, that is what the linked paper was about. However, I'm not sure I care too much for the goal of raising more money. In some ways, I would view money raised as heat generated for a mechanism. That is, a necessary by product that is certain to correlate heavily with any outcome, but ultimately waste that should be minimized.

The cynic in me sees this as yet another way that economists have found to increase the wealth generation capabilities of valuable things, while at the same time losing sight of the utility that was there.
