By the time the Internet became big, Minitel was already very ingrained in french day to day life.

Everyone knew the Internet was going to eventually win. But everyone also knew that it would take the Internet many many years before services matured, and became actually useful.

While Minitel's technology was clearly lagging, it managed to provide a lot of very useful services that would take lots of money and work to replace.

A rather good analogy would be the situation with credit cards in the US. The world has moved on to chip & pin (or contactless) while the US has stuck with magnetic stripe cards for an awfully long time

Not sure about other jurisdictions but UK patent law allows an invention to be worked for research purposes.

Presumably companies don't get licenses to produce chemicals for widespread release to the environment without disclosure of the details, so trade secrets shouldn't be a problem?

With utmost respect to your personal situation, about which I know only what you've said above, I would imagine you'll find it changes as you get older.

Dating in your mid-twenties is not the same as even in your mid-thirties. It's not that unexpected for young guys to have big friend groups that include single women, and for people to hang out fairly often and fluidly. As those groups settle down, go their own way and generally dwindle it gets harder to just "hang out" one-on-one with members of the opposite sex if you have a serious girlfriend. Jealousy and insecurity are considered normal and entirely acceptable by women, as are things like banning boyfriends from seeing former friends, rummaging through private messages (including business messages) to try and spot interactions with females, and generally treating any kind of interaction with females that they don't personally know about/condone as if it were actually cheating.

Mike Pence is an old married guy. His "never eat alone with a woman" rule may seem baffling to you now, but it doesn't surprise me one bit.

Actually paying French income tax is pretty easy; it's paying US taxes if you are a US citizen working in France that's hard. I'm not sure Americans know that they are taxed on their income wherever they earn it. All other countries only tax your income that you earn in that country. French citizens don't pay income tax on their salary they earn in the US, but the reverse is not true. Not only do Americans have to pay French income tax, they have to pay US income tax, even if they earn all their salary in France and stayed in France the entire year. And it gets complicated how to calculate, which is why I pay HR Block $700 to do it for me.

This isn't France's fault. It's the US's.
> "That isn't how insurance works. To do an insurance pool, you have to have a lot of people, knowing that you won't be paying out to most of them. Otherwise, it is not insurance, but some sort of group savings/pay as you go."

Seriously, not only this is clearly not how it works, but it actually makes zero economic sense, it doesn't work like that at all.

Insurance companies have people there calculating the expected costs with the different groups and - whenever legal - they DO DISCRIMINATE amongst them. Why do you think woman pay less for life insurance than men? Or why do woman pay less than men for car insurance? According to your rational that shouldn't be the case, you should just put them all together and everyone would pay less.

Let's just reduce this at absurdum for you to get it.

You have a group of 100 people. 50 completely healthy according to a medical check-up, 50 with HIV needing constant medication: Now, where do you think the health insurance premium would be lower for the 50 healthy ones:

1 - If we charged all the 100 people the same?

2 - If we divided the group and charged the 50 people with HIV differently than the 50 healthy people?

Answer this question and immediately you will understand why what you are claiming is wrong.
That strategy is favored by, and makes sense for Silicon Valley VCs. I could be wrong, but I think France is mostly concerned about creating jobs and advancing its tech industry as a whole rather than chasing unicorns.
Thanks for the link, it was really enlightening read. It is interesting to read the elaborated comments of some naysayers there who are stuck in their old ways and can't see the value of it yet.

One of them describes his solution with FUSE and FTP that 'basically achieves the same' and has doubts that anyone would want to use Dropbox if they can use FTP.

Same stuff surely happens here today.
I'd say the Internet still doesn't have a very good monetisation system. Card payment is several times too much effort to use, takes a good couple of minutes, and isn't reasonable for a one-off service. PayPal and similar services are a mess, and not much better. The point wasn't that use-time is good, it's that there was monetisation integrated into the design of the system, and it was easy for the customer to use.

Is there a distinction between grapes, must and wine? As ingredients we could treat all of them as synonyms, but it seems unhelpful. Parent post said "perfectly good wine", which I have a hard time imagine would be regular must that is being sold as wine.

Everything can be a currency. Ascorbic acid could be a currency in the future if the humankind moves to planets where Citreae are hard to find.

I dislike the use of the word 'just' in these kinds of discussions. If it were 'just' a matter of doing x, we wouldn't be discussing it.

I can't think of any recent professional interaction with a woman (I'm a man) where the mere act of 'asking if she feels uncomfortable' or underlining how this is not a outside-of-work-type situation wouldn't be enough to make the whole thing uncomfortable.

It'd a milder form of saying 'I don't want to have sex with you, just to be clear.'

I'm sure there are situations where this can and should be said, and where this might be done in a non-awkward way, I'm just saying that in many cases it's not that simple. Being explicit can be creepy.

It's a cultural difference.

It doesn't make sense in French to look for less than a master level, whereas the standard is the bachelor in the USA.

"Everyone" has a master in France. The curriculum is 5 years straight in France (either 2 or 5 years). There isn't really such a thing as a 3-4 years bachelor level in engineering.

Some numbers: 60% of programmers have at least a master in France, less than 30% in the USA.

> Because good architecture has somehow evolved?

Of course. Every year gives us greater insight into what approaches work and don't work. Which is why we have seen Java technologies like EJB, JCA, JTA, OSGI, JSP etc generally fall by the wayside in favour of less convoluted and less architecturally heavy approaches.

Microservices are unquestionably the defacto standard for most larger software development projects. Especially since they are intrinsically linked to the containerisation deployment approach which is a modern day concept.
Yes, NetBSD is still active, I'm using it to post this.

For me, the community is a big part of the reason I use it. The codebase still feels as if it hits a good balance between having the features that I need for daily use and still being clean enough to see how new stuff could be added.
Straightforward implementation involves taking exponent bits from the MSB on and multiplicating by the base for 1 bits and then squaring the intermediate result.

Straightforward way to make this constant time is to do the multiplication always and discard the result for 0 bits.

Motivation of the sliding window algoritms is that they are faster and also believed to be "more constant time" than the straightforward square and multiply.

They did try recently for the absolute simplest of cases. Not too popular- turns out having an MD in the room is a lot more useful if something goes wrong than a machine that can't do much other than tweak dosages. It's not like it can do the intubations either, so any value is pretty debatable.

In two places in UI: as close to the user as possible (which improves

absolutely necessary and cannot be left to client-side JavaScript.

> Sounds like you came around.

No my experience hasn't changed, I've delivered solutions in multiple languages (with a majority of them in static languages) and am familiar with realities and cultures in each. I'm a proponent of technology and adopting the best language/tool for each use-case. I could list all the areas where dynamic > static and vice-versa but you're not interested in learning where they provide the most value so I wont bother. Using a single language/tool for everything is an inefficient use of developer resources. When I started out I also used to hold an affinity to my preferred language, but that eroded over time as I became aware of where my preferred language and ecosystem deficiencies and where their strengths lie, my primary concern is adopting the best technology that creates the most value with the least time and effort where I regularly use and explore different languages and frameworks to gain experience in them so I can identify their strengths, techniques, approaches and which areas they excel at.

> Not everyone agrees that dynamic languages lead to faster velocity.

An overwhelming majority of successful Startups do, you've yet to show any evidence suggesting otherwise, just biased hearsay. The most valuable Internet properties and successful startups are built on dynamic languages so your disparaging remarks suggesting they're "slow, unstable, drains your battery, is constantly offline, or has major security flaws" is a completely false straw-man that amateurs would say - those are not a function of language or in anyway represent the value created or talented engineers using them. If you actually believe this, it shows you don't have any first-hand knowledge or experience using them so I can only assume your remarks are used to reaffirm your own technology confirmation biases, either way that's how it comes across when delivered as a baseless slur. Personally I would've liked to see some examples and empirical evidence backing up your theories, because as it stands none of them hold any water.
Easy. Realize that the front page of HN is a view of the world that is filtered heavilly (nothing wrong with that just to let you realize it) and the real world is out there. What you need to do is get a job at a real company, look at their code, and everything else, and you will see a lot of red flags. Those people, that took those decisions do not have "imposter syndrome" so why should you?
They can, and many do succeed. In the US right now, education is a proxy for class, so saying the uneducated Chinese can succeed is like saying the Chinese lower class can succeed, which isn't necessary true. It requires capital to start a business, not education.
It's really nice to see this on here! Around 8 years ago I read "The equation that couldn't be solved"[1] which is a very readable and not-mathy book about this topic. I was absolultely fascinated and ended up enrolling on an Open University mathematics degree which I've just completed. If you are interested in this and fancy something light to read this book is a nice distraction.

It was this problem and it's solution that truely opened my eyes up to the enormous power and abstraction of mathematics.

A much, much less readable book about Galois theory (this is really the cornerstone of the (general) quintic being unsolvable by a formula with radicals) is Fearless Symmettry [2]. That is a book I wish was twice the length, it will explain what a matrix is over pages but then do a drive by with Frobenius numbers. It is also let down by extremely poor typesetting on Kindle. However if you can stomach it, it's probably the only "popular" book on Galois theory that I know of. It focuses on Wiles proof of Fermats Last Theorem.

There's a bit of confusion here with "the law of large numbers". People do win
the lottery, but because it's very rare, only very few people do so. Hard drives
may fail if they remain in use over a very long time, but only a few drives will
remain so.

Accordingly, the "law of large numbers" as you report it, means that either only
a handful of those hundreds of VCs in SV have witnessed inappropriate pitch
behaviour, or this inappropriate pitch behaviour is not rare.

Regardless of the exact quantities, it remains true that an event is either
unlikely to be witnessed, or it is not rare. That an event will be witnessed
even though it is rare doesn't mean that it will be witnessed often.

The law of large numbers doesn't say that rare things happen often, is what I'm
saying. Because that would be an oxymoron, not a paradox (which that "law" is meant
to illustrate).
Just to add one more point, on the website it says:

"Dependent children under the age of 18 do NOT need a residence permit. However, an underage child travel document (‘document de circulation pour étranger mineur’ – DCEM) must be obtained at your local Préfecture after your arrival in France."

In my prefecture we have been trying to get a DCEM for each child for 1 year. The prefecture is not doing them at all, and they do not know when they will again. And the prefecture says the children cannot re-enter France without them. Our immigration lawyer says "as a practical matter" border control will allow the kids back in if you fly into France (but maybe not another EU country).

The residency for kids is a pretty good deal, but you just may not actually be able to get it (maybe in another year?).

But I actually do really like France. I want to stay here awhile. I've done everything above board, legally, legitimately. The people are really great, not like the stereotypes. It's worth all the hassle I believe, but I think people need to be aware of the reality of the difficulty of the process that France is advertising in trying to attract foreign tech workers.

They've got great mobile clients, too, which is really what I was looking for. It's not _perfect_ -- some articles get scraped incorrectly or incompletely, but that's fairly rare. Overall this is a great open source project that I haven't really seen getting much press for some reason.
