Does it matter who entrepreneurs are? They exist to serve society by providing new products and services that didn't exist before. We pay the winners well to motivate them to do that. It's not charity for their own good so it doesn't matter if there's bias in choosing them or some classes of people are excluded. It's not for them.

At a really abstract level, yes. However, many computing tasks generate results that can be used near-infinitely. For example, that supercomputer that generates the weather can distribute the results to every person in the region.

Whereas in cryptocurrency, that's split. The miners provide security and integrity for the chain. They also take their own very specific fee.

I have several reasons for not starting a company. I need a work visa, and that means I need a job. I also need to collect years of work experience in order to be eligible for Permanent Residency in future.

On the other hand, my job doesn't keep me busy. I have a lot of time when I must sit in the office, but actually have no useful projects to do for the company. So I work on my own personal projects (and I have many ideas).

The problem with personal projects is that my visa won't allow me to have a second source of income, so everything must be free. That's fine, I like open source.

The budget for these personal projects is zero, though, and that means I can't do marketing. I struggle to get even a little bit of feedback, and I have a tendency to move on to other new ideas when I realise that nobody cares.

Although providing the finance for me to pursue my dream would be great, I don't think it's enough. It takes a community where it's easy to share project ideas and get useful feedback.

A discrete GPU is a GPU that's not on-die with the CPU. A discrete GPU is usually something you stick in a PCIe slot.

A GPU on the CPU die, non-discrete, is often referred to as an "integrated GPU" or "integrated graphics." They're typically not very powerful, though they run common non-gaming applications just fine.
There could also be a desire to push partial-autonomy features in the short term, when Model 3 owners are making the decision day-by-day whether to drive the car completely manually or whether to rely on whatever level of Autopilot is available now or in 2 years. If driving the car without Autopilot is deliberately made to feel weird and akward, more people will turn on Autopilot in more situations.

There are 13,000,000 millionaires in the world.

They have children. A representative distribution of them create more wealth with the resources they already have which can have a disproportionate impact than the same distribution of attempted wealth creators that start off with less.

Well obviously the Indian government could exterminate the entire indigenous population of North Sentinel Island in an afternoon if they decided that was a good idea. They don't though because we live in an era of enormous plenty and the resources of the island are relatively modest vs the value of just leaving the place alone as a tourist oddity.

Assuming that the resources of the universe are vast, earth will be more valuable as a DNA resource than for gold and slaves. Up until the industrial revolution, the rapidly growing populations of Europe were straining against their resources and were always looking for new gold and slaves plunder to sustain themselves.

But remember that 200 years ago you couldn’t travel, were most certainly dirt poor, and worked to eat.

And you did have identity records. If you were rich enough to have checks, you’d appear in a city directory and banks would rate your creditworthiness. If you travelled, you’d have to have silver or gold in hand, as your Boston banknote was worthless in Virginia.

One of the houses I lived in had a really strong lock on the front door. The lock wasn't really the problem, though: the door is made up of four float glass panels. Of course, even if it was a solid wood door, there's another problem: the bit the lock slides into is held onto the frame by two screws.

tl;dr They are "stronger than ever" because all the other grocery chains are shitting their pants at the Amazon - Whole Foods deal and calling Instacart to shore up their ecommerce operations.

This does not in any way, shape or form suggest that Instacart actually has a strong long term position or that their solution will help these grocers prevail against a direct assault from Amazon. Their largely manual, layered-over-retail fulfillment model has inefficiencies that cause higher costs and stocking issues vs. the high-efficiency warehouse approach that Amazon has perfected.
I understand that. Why didn't they follow those practices? What can we do to force companies to follow them in the future?
> Who cares about statistics.. if it's possible, just harder, for you to be a wealthy entrepreneur, still you should do it!

That may be fine as an approach for the individual. But articles such as this are also meant to inform public policy and opinion. Social mobility in the US is at an all-time low, and that won't change just by preaching the prosperity gospel.

Even if you are not a victim of this imbalance yourself, you have an interest in fixing it: for every Google, Facebook, and Microsoft started by rich kids, there are four similarly-successful startups that never get founded because their potential founders weren't in the top 20%. And eventually, people will notice that, no, it's not (just) their fault that they can't get ahead in life. At that point, social cohesion will vanish: rules will only be respected where they are enforced by violence, the military will no longer find poor people willing to die for the country, employees will casually sabotage the startups they work at etc.
That’s obviously exactly correct. The technical merits of various investments is exactly the sort of thing where I’m not looking for popular opinion.

The other conclusion is that running a business is fucking hard for most people and that these businesses are started by do gooders, opportunists but ultimately playing the lottery.

It explains why those with access to capital or people with capital are more likely to succeed as a result of being able to play the lottery over and over.

Google & Facebook founders did not come from a struggling American family (Sergei or Larry's family comes from the Soviet elite) and none of the "ivy league dropouts" had any pressure (twitch.tv justin's comment how he was unmotivated throughout uni) to be something their socioeconomic class determined for them.

Finally, Theranos is a clear illustration of economic lineage taking place--having a rich powerful daddy with other daddies tends to produce consistent wins, often through sheer will and structural reinforcements that inevitably sets conditions for even the most incompetent children of the elite to succeed.

It's starting to feel like, a lot of us are getting into the startup game and realizing it's just another vehicle of transferring wealth generated with your life so they can buy a horse ranch or private plane.

It does imply 10 cents. See

(This site is basically China's quota, the answerer is Tencent official org account.)

Basically, Tencent was a startup that charges 10 cents for each message delivered to pager devices via its OICQ software (网络寻呼机), and later 10 cents for each SMS message.

Interesting though, Tencent(腾讯) was named after Lucent (朗讯), back in the time there was like hundreds of messaging companies in ShenZhen named *cent. e.g. 润讯，中讯，捷讯, etc.

> Multiple times throughout the hearing, Brazil’s Infraestrutura de Chaves Públicas system of citizen IDs through digital certificates came up as a potential model for the U.S. as it moves forward.

That made it sound as if every Brazilian had one of these, and it were the main citizen ID. That's not the case.

Here in Brazil, the main ID is the RG (Registro Geral), which is an identity card made of paper, issued by any of the 26 states (plus the Federal District). Since it's issued by the states, a single person can have more than one RG.

We also have the equivalent of USA's SSN, here called the CPF. Like the SSN, it's used as the person's tax ID, and is a national number. It's also issued as a card made of paper, but unlike the RG, it cannot be used for identification, since it has no picture or fingerprint. For simplicity, if you already have a CPF number when your RG is issued (or re-issued), you can have the CPF number printed on the RG card.

It's with the CPF that the "Infraestrutura de Chaves Públicas" (ICP) comes into view: you can get a certificate associated with your CPF, and use it for instance to sign your taxes. But it's not required, and most people don't have that certificate, or even know that it exists.

In my opinion, the reason we don't have the same problem as the USA is not some fancy digital certificate stuff, but the simple fact that the CPF number by itself does nothing: everybody also wants to see the RG card. And for income taxes, the electronic form also requires a number found in the previous year's income tax receipt. The income tax return will be deposited into a bank account of your choice, but AFAIK it only accepts a bank account where the account owner has the same CPF, and to open a bank account you need the RG (plus other documents).

I mean, it depends on your definition of "stable"? The yearly deltas in the price of gold between 2009 and 2015 are +31%, +8%, +9%, -28%, 0%, -12%. It's stable relative to, say, BitCoin, but if my salary changed that much I'd hardly call it "a stable income", and if my weight changed that much I'd definitely not call it "a stable weight".
The idea that I would have to locate and press a graphical button to turn up the fan is pretty much a nightmare. I can do it without looking now. Even a quality voice-recognition interface would be lousy.
I'm more curious about when this was a reality beyond lifting someone out of direct poverty.

Alright, I run a business, so let's talk some numbers in the modern day environment. As a pass-through entity, all business income is considered personal income for the consideration of taxes. In addition, to federal income tax, which can range up to 28% for sub $100k income, business owners pay both halves of their FICA, which is 15.3%. Then, there's state income tax. Now, it's hard to just add tax numbers due to deductions, which will change with the GOP tax rules, but my overall rate last year was 28%. Of course, this doesn't cover things like healthcare. I live in a low cost area, but I pay $447 a month for a policy with an out of pocket max of $2800. That means, that I have to budget around $8k/year right now to account for medical ailments, which means that I have to account for up to a 40% loss of income when factoring in medical and taxes. What does this mean in aggregate? You need to be in a business that makes a fair amount of money before it's possible to be stable financially.

Now, is someone who comes from an impoverished situation it a place where they can generate that kind of money from get get go? Probably not. Alright, so we can then work a job and save money in order to create the necessary buffer to start a business. Great, but what kind of jobs pay that kind of money? Generally, one that requires a fair amount of education especially in the modern economy. Getting that degree is difficult and expensive. Fine, so we can take a loan to get the education necessary to get the job necessary to save the money necessary to start the business. However, then we have debt in order to repay when we need to be saving money to bootstrap. Further, the current tax proposal disallows deductions for student loan debt in addition to taxing tuition waivers for graduate students. Of course, instead of bootstrapping, we could raise money from investors in order to start the business. Great, but that's also difficult without the right connections. Where do we get them? There are actually some really good resources in a few select cities that connect business people with tech people. However, generally speaking, these connections are formed by growing up in the right communities or going to school in the right places. I received a wonderful education at a state tech school and keep in good contact with my former classmates. That said, they didn't come from money and are not a resource to draw from for investor money. On the other hand, students that go to Ivy League schools likely have a background that could raise that capital.

Anyway, that's a long response to a simple question, but I very much contend that there are significant barriers to entry for becoming successful at business. Technically, it's all doable, but the chance of that happening, especially when coming from poverty, is very small.
The world is also full of genuine people, far more than the fakes. Unless there's some reason to suspect a person is a fake, or some dire consequences if they are, why worry about it?
SSN is FINE as a simple identifier. The problem is that organizations try to use it like a PIN code or password. It should NEVER be used as proof of identity per transaction requests. Software Engineering 101: Use the right tool for the job. If an org needs a PIN code or password, make one.

Monopolists call that "bundling". For example co-financing internet service by requiring you also pay for phone service.

No. Bundling means the product I want becomes more expensive, and therefore less competitive. Taxes means I have to pay for the product in any case, removing any competitive pressure.

The main difference is that a public service doesn't need to have profit maximizing as its primary goal.

Neither does a company, that's a myth. Plus, non-profits and coops exist.

For some reason in the United States we have a cult
of moral-kombat-individual responsibility that doesn’t value community. It reminds me of the Est “radical responsibility” seminars in the late 70’s that would say provocative things like “it’s your responsibility you got cancer!”. There are definitely many good things that can come from a focus on individual responsibility, but where does it end? Why not make college free if you’re rich, and you pay full price if you’re lower income? If everything is individual responsibility, does it even matter? Why believe in God? Does community matter?
Sure, but the whole point of your comment seemed to be that she shouldn't do things this way, because she can't control how the world reacts to her. Maybe I misunderstood it.

Running a restaurant is hard and unsurprisingly its even harder if you never have run one before. Staffing, food cost, vender management and health code malarky: these are some of the first things that make or break a restaurant. Then maybe location. Quality of food clearly doesn't make the list, at least not disconnected from price as Dominos, McDonalds and Starbucks succeed with high probability. Sad to see a vanity project eat up someones life.
Doesn't sound a whole lot better. Some diffs against normal character frequency would probably make cracking passwords easier. At the very least, you get a list of characters not to use in a brute force search.
This does not mean that it is a one-way interop. When you write it the right way, it will work from Java.
There's also the "stacked problem" thing.

Most problems we encounter in tech have multiple layers of problem-solving: we're installing this, when that goes wrong. To fix that we discover that we need to change this other thing. Changing that other thing means the jobbie over there breaks. Fixing that involves installing a widget over here, and so on. When you reach the end of the chain, and this fix means that thing works, which means the other thing suddenly springs into life, and so on up, is a great feeling.

I've discovered that some people can only do this one or two layers deep: as soon as this fix depends on that, which depends on the other... they give up because it's "too hard"

Everyone I know with "an aptitude for tech" is pretty comfortable going at least five layers deep.

I know this has no relevance to the gender discussion from the OP. I just find it interesting ;)
I don't think that approach avoids the core problem; it just shoves it onto a different resource; the same fraction of general economic output is still incentivized to convert from "satisfying human needs" to "mining". It will just manifest in difference ways.

Remember, the whole point of proof of work is to make it too expensive for "bad guys" to amass enough work to force their skewed version of the ledger[1].

As long as you have the constant rate of coin production, and difficulty adjustments to ensure it, you have the exact same arms race. Miners might not use more energy[2], but they'll still take away workers, land, metal, etc. from the real economy.

[1] They can't forge transactions, but they can publish empty blocks, effectively shutting it down.

[2] Although even that's doubtful: when you throw money at a problem, you generally end up throwing a proportional amount of energy at it too.
