Drunk driving can be a felony. Everything depends on the outcome. Hurt someone or do it more than once,and you will be looking at a felony charge. For drug possession, depending on how much you have, and how you carry it, possession quickly becomes possession with intent to distribute. Get caught with drugs while crossing a state line or boarding a plane and you will be lucky to avoid federal charges. Then there are conspiracy options should your possession be linked to other people.

Okay, I finally got rejected once more as solo founder:

Problem and solution:

Most companies struggle with the high complexity and ever-increasing regulatory burdens associated with managing their FX, commodity price and interest rate risks. Not to mention that costs in financial risk management are rising fast (currently firms spend on average around 2.86% of their revenues on hedging these risk).
Hence, they usually would prefer to have a simple, straight-forward insurance covering these risks rather than having to deal with derivatives and the related administrative requirements.
That’s where we come in with our product called FinGuard, which is an ERP system plugin doing exactly this – measuring the exposure and automatically insuring it at a cost which is at least 40% cheaper compared to traditional hedging methods (as we can effectively match contrary risk positions of different customers).

Top three customer advantages:

1. Significant EBITDA boost

Savings coming from our cross-customer hedging approach can increase EBITDA by up to 11.5% p.a. which is equal to an increase of 16% in sales, while additionally saving any kind of fixed treasury expenses (e.g. treasury systems, staffing, research data, special admin processes and legal services,…). Hence customers’ EBITDA will go up sharply.

2. No compliance hassles anymore

It reduces compliance burdens , just think of KYC checks, MiFID II, EMIR and the likes, which for an insurance policy from a customer’s perspective are no longer applicable

3. Convenience and more time for your core business

Increased focus on your core business with automation taking all the financial risk management hassles (e.g. going global w/o worrying about FX rates) and potential human errors (e.g. no litigations with banks about the agreed on derivatives pricing) out while using big data to improve results further

Status Quo and Key metrics:

- A solid team is in place and shall be hired with the next funding round (or accelerator money), but until then it's just me working full-time on the project (by the way I don' understand the bias against solo founders anyway: https://techcrunch.com/2016/08/26/co-founders-optional/)

- Validated concept (based on historical data), business processes defined, thorough business plan written (100+ pages) and software design sketch ready; first prototype shall work by end of April

- Currently discussing cooperation with other financial services providers as they can help us to drive sales significantly (attracted leading players including bulge bracket banks and household names in the insurance industry among others)

- 300+ sales leads each with more than 100m in revenues (our own pricing is derived as a percentage of their revenues); currently reaching out to them to get signed LoIs

- 2.97tn USD total market size; expecting USD 546m in pre-payments in year 1

- positive VC feedback in general
Tax Loss Harvesting. This is the sole reason why Betterment(/Wealthfront) is superior to Vanguard. The benefits of this technique more than offset any fees they charge.
Well Sweden doesn't really have the same views on "individual freedom" as the US, but even here a lot of people were upset at the "mandatory" 3 months to be taken by the father when it was instituted.

Even as a fairly libertarian person, I didn't mind it, since it's just an option, nobody's forcing anyone to take it. And nudging fathers to take a more active role in child rearing is definitely a good investment for society, even economically speaking.

I'm not sure it had much of an effect though, at least in my circles I haven't noticed any big shift in paternal leave taking. And I must say that at certainly for the last 10 years there's been no stigma at all around it, again in my circles.
Ask humans to tell you what "cat" means, and you'll receive as many answers as there are respondents. Some will derive from science, some from common experience; some will describe the relation of cats to their environment, others will talk about personal emotional connections with particular cats.

Ask a convolutional neural network what "cat" means, and the best you can get is a probability distribution of pixels on a grid. It's not intelligence, but just an encoding of facts provided by an actual intelligence.
> many of the indian workers are still better off economically than they might otherwise be, even if they are not as well off as their american counterparts.

Isn't that exactly the main criticism of current H1B system: driving down salaries and standard of living away from U.S. standards down towards India's?

However better off they are economically they would be even better if companies couldn't exploit their status to pay less. And American counterparts would be better off if they didn't have to compete with lower paid competition. Everyone would be better. Well, except the companies.

Money Talks 8 – Interview with Erik Wahl, Author of the Spark and the Grind
The beauty about street food in Bangkok is the people. I visited Bangkok recently [1], and absolutely loved the place. Most of the street vendors were warm, welcoming and showed genuine interest in the food that we liked rather than being touristy rip offs. Definitely would recommend visiting Khao San, Chao Phraya and the usual suspect places of Bangkok.

One more thing: If you're there, try the coconut ice cream, available in plenty around Chao Phraya. Such a delight.

In my opinion, if you are running containers in prod, you need to be on Kubernetes, regardless of scale.

Kubernetes is so much more than just "planet scale". It encourages patterns and mindsets for efficient software delivery that can really pay dividends.

Here are some of my favorite things:

Cloud agnostic. Your team and business are not at the mercy of pricing, features or availability of a third party. You can run it on everything from a massive cluster on AWS to some cheap mini computers off ebay: https://hackernoon.com/diy-kubernetes-cluster-with-x86-stick... Moving between cloud-providers when they both run Kubernetes is fairly trivial. You can also run on multiple clouds at the same time. Kubernetes abstracts the infrastructure away. It's also really easy to run a single node cluster on your own machine for local development. Try doing that with AWS services in a reliable way.

Immutable infrastructure:

The fact that containers don't hold state FORCES you to develop your applications in a 12-factor pattern. Deploy images by tag forces you to create a pipeline that automates their builds. It also allows you to effortlessly roll-back. It's not an afterthought or something you need to glue together.

High availability:

Just define how many replicas of your service you want and k8s does the rest. If they crash so what. Not only will they be restarted automatically but they will automatically be distributed across your fleet for you. Node goes down? Who cares. It's self-healing.

Service discovery:

Just put a k8s service in front of your application replicas and everything is automatic. Nothing to install, simply refer to the stable dns service name and everything will be routed. Software agnostic.

Config Management:

Very easy to inject secrets and configs as env vars or mounted into the pod. No third party library or framework needed to leverage it.

Dev - Stage - Prod envs made easy:

The same container image can move through each env effortlessly and you can be sure there is no "artifact rot"

Extensible and open

You can run different container runtimes such as rkt or different pod networks and persistent storage options. There is not a single company trying to steer it in some way. Also recently with helm charts it's becoming very easy to "apt-get install" whatever you want on your cluster. Very powerful and portable.

It does take some time getting ramped up but once it clicks there is no turning back.
Anecdotally, I have never had food poisoning in my life.

Morally, morals don't have much to do with this.

Practically, it's impossible for me to judge the sanitary conditions of a food stall. Or, if possible, it'd be wasteful for everyone to spend two hours checking everything instead of, as a society, organising a system where a trained professional does that for all of us.

Specifically, you would need to carry a thermometer to check both the refrigeration as well as hot storage. You'd want to take samples and send them to a lab for bacterial cultures. You need to check the employees' bathroom for soap and clean towels. Then, come back the next morning and check that they threw out leftovers that can't be kept overnight, and properly sealed and stored those that can. Make sure people, especially doctors, know your toll-free number to report incidents of food poisoning that may be linked to restaurants.

I agree, but Spaces looks boring. When I hang out with my far away friends, we pile into Skype and play a game. MMOs like World of Warcraft have long served this niche, and it seems that Facebook has learned little from them.

When I hang out with friends in real life, we usually do some activity too. It's not just showing up at their house with a photo album every weekend. We watch movies, play board games, cook food, or various other things while we socialize.

I think a few stock pickers are really good at their jobs while a lot of others are mediocre to plain bad. The problem is that the ones that are consistently good are usually boutique hedge funds not open for normal people, some of them like Renaissance Tech only invest their own money and take no external funds anymore. Part of this is that their edge only works if their moves don't alter the market too much and for that there's a limit to how much money they can manage. But at the end of the day if you are not a rich investor with access to stuff like that I wouldn't be surprised if chances are an index fund is going to outperform most stuff Wall Street might try to sell you.

CRPG for "computer" was the dominant term in the 80's. Later on, the distinction of "Western" style from "Japanese" led to WRPG sometimes being used, although it's just as common to continue referring to the Western traditional games as CRPG.
I believe the comment was talking about any kind of active trading (i.e. picking individual stocks to buy and sell), not only HFT, which uses millisecond fluctuations in security price to make a profit.
You might want to consider the boring scenario: maybe there are fewer professional traders, but their computer models improve, so prices get set as efficiently as before and maybe better.

One alternative view is that it's good for America to educate the world, give them a positive experience/perspective on the US, then go back to their homelands to improve and run it having said positive American outlook.

Another is that just because you studied here doesn't mean you're actually unique talent -- there are Americans who also need work at the low-to-mid levels whose industries have been displaced and are now jobless.

Obviously there alternative paths to citizenship, and being educated accelerates your prospects. It's not like the H1B or J1 are the only way -- I've known many get the O visa because they actually are unique talent.

If you have a Roth IRA tax loss harvesting makes no sense.

Also, Vanguard can easily implement TLH.
Of course. There wasn't a significant recession since 2009. It is psychologically very easy to buy into a rising market.

When the next (inevitable) correction happens, the tide will change and stock pickers will return to the spotlight.

Have you considered a zerocarb diet? It may help with the allergies, though if you follow zerocarb then it wouldn't matter as it excludes wheat and soy. I essentially eat nothing but meat, cheese, and eggs. If this sounds outrageous and impossible, come join us on /r/zerocarb and read the science and testimonials.

I did not make this choice lightly. For several weeks and months I got hung up on the "but you need vegetables and fiber" argument. I read and thoroughly did my research over a period of many months. My parents and I have tried many of the popular fad diets out there, including raw vegan where we would make "healthy" smoothies out of kale/spinach and some fruits (never mind that raw spinach is rather toxic with oxalates and other anti-nutrients, and the sugar content (especially fructose) from the fruits will lead us towards diabetes).

My parents are now so pre-diabetic that they cannot eat fruit anymore. A simple serving of pineapple will push my father's blood pressure over 200. Two servings and he will black out. Waking glucose level is about a 100 for both of my parents.

Then, we switched to paleo, and a few months later to zerocarb. It has now been several months eating nothing but meat, eggs, and cheese, and the results were night-and-day different to the raw vegan diet high in carbs and sugar. Now, we are keto adapted. Insulin sensitivity is slowly returning to normal. Waking glucose is improving for them (mine is normal). Lipid panels are improving. We all lost excess weight as well.

By following zerocarb, you automatically eat a FODMAP diet. You don't damage your intestines anymore from all that bulky high-fiber diets. You really don't need fiber--I have not eaten any fiber in months.

In the end, I experimented, my parents experimented, and we settled on zerocarb. There's an excellent book on this called the Fat of the Land by Vilhjalmur Stefansson. Read it with a bag of salt, but perhaps try a 60 day experiment.
Would love to hear what specifically you folks would like me to focus on. Animation? UX? UI? Etc.
Any argument that looks at job creation in isolation is next to worthless. Such an argument leads to conclusions like "we need visa reforms to ensure that only really skilled people get through". Skill based criteria are almost always absurd. I'm pretty sure that in a country as large as the United states, there's a good chance that you'd find enough number of skilled people in all domains. So the obvious factor which drives companies to recruit foreign workers is the cost of labour. That begs the question: "why are natives not okay to work at the salary levels of immigrant workers?". There could be two reasons: either their liabilities are greater, or it is that prevailing culture that discourages US natives to work at lower salaries". From that perspective, the natural way forward for the US government should be try and reduce the liabilities of the natives. Why cant they make education cheaper and more accessible? What can they do to reduce the price of housing? How do you reduce the cost of transportation?

IMHO blaming immigrants/the companies that hire them is not productive. Businesses try to maximize their profits; that's given. They aren't hiring immigrants through benevolence towards immigrants or aversion towards natives. The US should fix their social problems before blaming the immigrants/corporations.

This level of discourse is very embarrassing for HN.
Simply because they are allowed to have immigrant intent they don't become immigrants. They become immigrants when their status is adjusted to legal permanent resident or they are issued an immigrant visa and admitted with it.

I'm not just making this up, these are terms that are very clearly defined by the Immigration and Nationality Act.
This has been long in the works. Automatic entrance and exit screening was required by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigration Responsibility Act signed by President Clinton in 1996. In 2004, the 9/11 Commission recommended it, too.
Vue is much, much faster to load; it is possible to use vue applications over 3G where React apps choke. Vue is also, in my experience, much easier for back-end developers to contribute to without making app-braking performance mistakes. It has a canonical event-driven store, Vuex, with much nicer debugging tools than any of the flux frameworks (it includes getter values, for example). I have also found the error messages more meaningful across the ecosystem; React can sometimes produce very unhelpful errors.

What it lacks is some of the maturity. For example, dynamic loading of assets only works if they are static and the cli isn't trivially deplorable. It is also less standard among front-end developers, which mostly comes through in the selection of libraries available (Vue is close enough to vanilla templating that the learning curve is shallow.)

And it generates the pom files so you don't have to...

>"This limits diversity because there can no longer be an auntie selling tiny packets of whatever for $1 from a cart. Centralization also gave rise to food type quotas, so if there are three chicken rice shops in one area you may not be allowed to open another."

Wow. That's really sad. It it exactly fits my impression of Singapore (at least from its stereotype as seen from Taiwan). The hawker food is great and especially the Indian/Chinese/Western fusion foods were a treat, but it would be a better city if it also had a nightmarket where that auntie could sell from her cart.

There's definitely a happy spot between unmonitored, unsafe street foods and 100% central control stamping out not only the unsanitary but also the variety.
