Don't mean to nitpick but Braum's isn't a co-op/consortium. It's a single family's massively-integrated retail operation. They own and operate basically all of their farms and ranches along with the manufacturing plants for their containers and even their delivery fleet. Braum is the last name of the guy who founded it.

(Oh, and it's not Texan. Braum's is an Okie brand; they don't open up stores more than about 300 miles from their central farms in Oklahoma.)

Ask HN: What motivates founders?
I'm interested in the psychological motivations that inspire and motivate people to found startups, even when they realise most startups fail, that there is no clear direction or obvious answer to most of the problems they'll encounter, and it is an awful lot of hard work, much of which not pleasant or in their skill set.

I know the obvious answer is "money", but I suspect a deep answer is much more complicated than that; If it were that simple, they would probably satisfy that need more effectively (by many measures) through gambling than founding.
A few years ago, I was mentoring at the local (major!) university and met a student who was the President of a club. Then a week later, met another student who was the President of the same club. A few weeks later, the same.

It turns out, a bunch of students got together, created a club, and each member was called a "President." The best part is that if an employer ever checked, any member could honestly say "yes, he's a President in that club."

In Ethereum, reversibility could have strict constraints. For instance, you could devise a contract in which the funds are held in escrow for 90 days, during which time a neutral third party may reverse the transaction using their key.

The important point is that the actual parties to the transaction may choose how they want to mediate this, whether they want reversibility, what conditions they want it to have, and have it all enforced by code and cryptography.

Of course, this burden would only really take place on high value transactions. For most transactions, there'd be a standard configuration people and merchants would use.
> stores have done almost nothing to improve workers' productivity

They also got their lesson with Amazon and other online retailers taking productivity to the max by streamlining warehouse operations and removing physical retail with its inefficiencies and expensive leases out of equation.

Currently US retail market can be broken down into three large groups - already bankrupt (Circuit City, Good Guys, Borders, Forever 21, Payless Shoe Stores), close to bankruptcy (JC Penney, Sears), or scaling down in order to avoid bankruptcy (Target, Macy's, Fresh and Easy).

Improving worker productivity at this point is as useful as optimizing horse-feeding stations a year after Henry Ford has unveiled Model T - you're likely to achieve a local maxima and claim a success, but the global maxima meanwhile changed significantly.

> There have been 61,998 cash seizures made on highways and elsewhere since 9/11 without search warrants or indictments through the Equitable Sharing Program, totaling more than $2.5 billion. State and local authorities kept more than $1.7 billion of that while Justice, Homeland Security and other federal agencies received $800 million. Half of the seizures were below $8,800.

> Only a sixth of the seizures were legally challenged, in part because of the costs of legal action against the government. But in 41 percent of cases — 4,455 — where there was a challenge, the government agreed to return money. The appeals process took more than a year in 40 percent of those cases and often required owners of the cash to sign agreements not to sue police over the seizures.

EDIT: throwing in a great specific example:

> restaurant owner Dale Agostini was pulled over on the same stretch of highway as Jennifer Boatright and Ron Henderson for the same reason: driving in the left lane without passing. After using what turned out to be an untrained police dog to sniff the vehicle, officers found over $50,000 in cash but no evidence of drugs. Agostini explained to the officers that he had family in the area and he intended to buy restaurant equipment at a local auction with the cash he was carrying. At the time, Agostini was traveling with his fiance and their one-year-old child, along with a cook who worked at Agostini’s restaurant.

> Agostini and the passengers were informed by Lynda K. Russell, the district attorney who had arrived on the scene, that they would face charges for money laundering and for engaging in organized criminal activity, and the baby would be turned over to Child Protective Services.

It seems that lately chains large and small (Whole Foods, Stater Bros) are going the Instacart route, with both of these retailers advertising their Instacart URL at the store entrances.

I think even if the workers had a stronger negotiating position, it might not yield much, as anything they'd offer collectively would have to be a better deal for WMT than Instacart.

Not entirely true. The wage raising is because of where the market is moving.

However, turnover is actually not as large of a problem as most would like to believe. Cashiers are the positions with the highest turnover rate, many other departments have employees that have been in the same store for many years.

This isn't true in Linux or Windows so I don't see why Go would make this assumption other than poor design.

It literally is. The namespace information is shared with all threads in a PID group globally available in the /proc fs.

I worked for Braum's for four years in Fort Worth, Texas. It was my first "real" job after high school. They have a little book that they give employees that describes the company and the history. The company describes itself like I did. Would you like a picture as proof of my bona fides?

Numenta isn't biologically plausible [1], so although the resulting networks might be mappable to the brain in the same manner as Deep Learning and FORCE trained networks, there's no way to map the learning period onto brains.

>Politics often requires compromise.

But potential planetary catastrophe is not a political issue and not an issue that allows for much compromise. Sure there is political hand wringing about whether it is really happening and what its consequences are . . . But once you accept that it is real and potentially destructive it becomes a question of preventing planetary catastrophe which is not political and seems very very black and white and not open to compromise.

>Can we resolve this climate problem and simultaneously keep developing countries from stagnation and regression? Sure, it just won't be easy

If climate change truly has the negative potential that you claim, how could you even risk it - if it really were as bad as you say wouldn't the consequence for both developing and developed countries be much worse by allowing for continued emissions?

What unifies all these products is the fact that they are mass produced. If you want to sell a pizza to everyone in America and you want them all to taste the same, you start to value consistency in your inputs.

I love to get pizza from some of the smaller pizzerias near me occasionally. I don't love that the cheese breaks sometimes, leaving me with a watery, ricotta-like mess on top of my pizza. I don't love that the crust is sometimes too thin and gets soggy or tears, or that the crust is occasionally burned in spots. This doesn't happen with Pizza Hut. Whatever else, they're consistent.

Personally, I also think that the cheese on a Pizza Hut pizza is just fine. If you're buying Pizza Hut or Papa John's, you're not looking for an old-world artisan experience. I don't want buffalo mozzarella on a delivery pizza.
If the money were spend by market forces rather than government dictate, the funds that go to hire IRS bureaucrats would instead go towards more productive ends, like the production of food or snowmobiles. In other words, instead of wasting human productive capacity on bureaucracy, the people currently employed by the IRS would instead have to find jobs useful to society.

It's not zero-sum at all. The amount of money is zero-sum (obviously), but net social utility isn't zero-sum. That's the point.

What's an example of it not being true in Windows?

I think it's mostly true in Linux and the situations where it isn't true are subtle and require expert knowledge in some specific areas. It's not like there's a big sticker on Linux that says threads are generally not symmetric.

I get the bit of half the process being in one space and half in another. I just find it odd. Can half the process run as root and half the process run as another user? Maybe yes? Can a file be open in half the process and not open in the other?

At any rate, I think it's not black and white. Green threads do make sense in general and introducing different thread types and more granular control makes things more complicated.

I think you're missing my point about APIs and handles:

handle = open_namespace("test")
syscall(handle, "yes")

if handle can be used across threads then this sequence will run correctly regardless of what thread is executing it, it doesn't rely on anything bestowed on a thread.

(EDIT: thread local storage I guess is an example of asymmetry between threads but it's intentional/clear asymmetry designed for specific purposes and something you don't need to access in Go e.g. because you don't use threads directly).

Nice references! I have some criticism of "Toward an Integration of Deep Learning and Neuroscience" which I've talked to the authors about. I felt like they downplayed the importance of integration between neuroscience and machine learning [1], while over-playing the biological plausibility of Deep Learning [2]. I'm also uncomfortable with the characterization of Neuromorphic computing as "Deep Learning on a Chip", as this dismisses the possibility of online learning and neural dynamic systems [3], which I think are necessary for truly intelligent systems.

As for Liquid State Machines, those evolved into Reservoir Computing and Echo State Machines. If you want to read more about them, I would recommend this paper comparing them to the Neural Engineering Framework [4] (with code!) to get a good idea of the state of the field.

BioImplant is one of those truly disruptive technologies: a new paradigm. It's interesting (as a HN reader) to see such a tech story unfold in 'real time'.

The biggest obstacle so far has been to foster awareness of this treatment option via popular media (ie. an article in an English-language newspaper/magazine). The dental world is fixated on simple screw type implants, which are costly, unnatural, and very rarely satisfactory.

GNU Shepherd
From where I sat in Windows Security (I wrote much of the BitLocker UI) these are a couple of anecdotes:

I remember one of the base team architects laughing and bragging about how and why they killed managed code and banned it from the OS — the technical reasons where valid, but the attitude was toxic. I think most or all of the generation of architects that had come from DEC have now moved on, but they also took tribal knowledge with them. I wonder how much they were encouraged to find other things to do because of this type of attitude (which not all of them had btw)

Moving on

The Avalon team appeared to be drinking their own cool aid. They had charts on the wall showing their performance goals and progress. All the performance measurements on those charts were annotated as "estimated". I remember an internal alpha that had strong polynomial execution time based on the number of elements in the logical tree. It felt like the design was good, but that the correspondence of the implementation to the design was missing.

When Avalon was booted, we were told to write UI in a broken framework called DirectUI which had a convoluted history, an arrogant maintainer, and a weirdly mismatched documentation. Much was documented that wasn't implemented, the standard answer to missing features was "add it yourself", but if I pushed a code change to shell code (where it lived in the codebase) it would typically cause a forward integration from winsec to base to be rejected.

Good times
Well, no, it's not that cheap... The upfront cost is as much as a regular titanium implant.

The real savings come later: there's no subsequent treatment to deal with infections (peri-implantitis) or other complications.

BioImplant is basically 'fit and forget'.
I much prefer the government collecting a fair share of money to uphold public goods than criminals running away with all my money (happened to me with shares in a Chinese miner).
The pattern of "insult popular thing", "ask what's bad about popular thing", "be downvoted to death with no answer" is pretty common. I generally chalk it up to blatant pretension.
