" This regulation is specifically (deliberately?) anti small business"

No, it is not.

"Well meaning regulation like this written by people who have never created anything pratical in their lives other than regulations illustrates why entrepreneurship in modern Europe is nearly impossible."

No, it doesn't. It demonstrates that far too many "entrepreneurs" are people who want to play fast and loose with regulations, and not be held accountable for anything.

Since we have yet to build a system that is capable of "full self-driving ... at a safety level substantially greater than that of a human driver" I'm not even sure they can make the claim that their existing hardware supports this. They might have high hopes, but there's no way to know what combination of hardware and software will be necessary until the problem is actually solved.

I agree that nl is better for line numbering, but have you really never used cat with arguments? One of the most common use cases is for concatenating files:

cat file1 file2 > combined-file

There file1 and file2 are arguments. What do you use cat for?

Would it be possible to use Stripe Atlas to create the LLC, bank account etc and use Stripe normally for handling the payments side for the subscriptions.

However, if a marketplace came with the application. To use a 3rd party for all that comes with it. IOW, not wanting to use Stripe Connect for various reasons that make sense to the business.
I grew up in the Metro Detroit area and moved out to the coasts after graduating from Umich a couple years ago.

There’s more excitement around Detroit than I’ve seen at any point in my life. As somebody from the suburbs, my family would actively avoid Detroit unless we were going to a baseball game.

That’s changed. There’s many great restaurants and downtown feels more like a real city.

But, all of my friends still left the state. If you’re college educated, there’s a 60/40 chance you’ll leave Michigan right after graduation. Even worse if you graduate from UMich, which is scary since it’s the state’s flagship university.

The white-collar jobs are there, but they can’t compete with the jobs in other parts of the country. I graduated CS and I can’t name a single friend that didn’t move to the west coast. Even after the COL differences, you still come out ahead by leaving the state.

I want Detroit to grow and I’d love to move back. I just need some solid jobs to attract me back.
Code More.
Your analysis reveals a common mistake, and more (complex) projects is the answer. This mistake is not obvious from the outside!

Once you actually work in the industry for a while, you realize that most newbie side projects are incredibly small and distressingly unimpressive. Since you've never worked in a production codebase, your internal metric of difficulty and value is WAY off. You might think you have a really great Github, but I suspect that you need samples at least 4x as complex as what you've already done.

Remember that "CS Degree" is simply a indicator that you are solid hire. Hiring managers are looking to maximize the chance that you're worth the effort, so without the CS degree you'll need to work much much harder to prove your worth. Definitely possible! But not easy.

Oh, and don't lie. If you claim experience and interview with me, I'll drill you in detail about your claimed experience and what you learned. I'll figure out you were lying, and that's not a good hiring signal.
Or if they did only who you messaged and when. Not the text of the message, just “metadata”.
> And don’t waste time trying to simulate animal products (veggie burgers, faux-turkey, etc.) It’ll never measure up in the end and distract from the really good and tasty vegetarian (or mostly vegetarian) stuff.

I agree that the veggie meat substitutes don't do a good job of imitating meat, but (for example) Boca Burgers are actually pretty tasty on their own merits, despite being sold as a "meat replacement".
Exactly. We already know when the elevator needs to be maintained. If it isn't being maintained, it's not because people don't know, it's because they are intentionally NOT doing the maintenance, maybe because it costs $120/hr minimum 6 hours.

But even if it’ll become available in 2 months, it’ll take some time to develop Rust libraries on top of them.

Both are quite large projects with many man-years spent to develop, they saved quite a lot of my development budget.

> Since Republicans gained control of the House of Representatives in 2010, their partisan attacks have left the IRS with nearly 10,000 fewer customer service representatives to assist taxpayers and a patchwork of IT systems, some dating back to the Kennedy Administration, which is ultimately harming all taxpayers,” Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., told Nextgov.

So the patchwork 1960s-era systems are the fault of Republicans in the current decade?

Maybe "starve the beast" really is a better approach. Nothing else has worked.
Changing "ſ" to "s" is just changing the font, so I don't have any problem with that. Changing "v" to "u" is arguably also changing the font, if you assume that the original text had two visually identical but semantically different "v"s.

I do think removing the apostrophe from "'phone" changes the meaning, because it implies a different relationship to the technology. It's like writing "internet" without the capital I. This is still considered incorrect, but it's becoming more common, and I think eventually it will replace "Internet". The loss of the capital letter, just like the loss of the apostrophe, shows the technology fading into the background and losing its novelty.

And the works of Shakespeare are an extreme example, being older than most works on the site. I'd prefer the original spelling, but for works of that age I can understand changing it. I'd set the publication of Johnson's "A Dictionary of the English Language" (1755) (or a few years later) as the cut-off point for spelling changes.

Regarding (human) emissions, sure, reduce at best available speed. But now that warming is self sustaining, we need to aggressively sequester, and hopefully figure out ways to slow and reduce ongoing methane release.

Parent links to Yann LeCunns's "Text understanding from Scratch" paper, from 2015, where the authors uses a conv-net, originally build for image recognition to do text categorisation.

The NN techniques falls squarely in the "counting words"-bracket, although this one is actually counting characters.

It is a great paper, with great results, but none of those models therein have an opinion on ISIS, an ability to converse or anything the author of TFA calls cognition.

Communication overhead.

You've seen those graphs about how lines of communication explode combinatorically. Once an organization hits ~20 people, if they're all communicating directly and keeping up to date with everything they need to know, everyone could be spending every minute of their day communicating and not getting any other work done.

In order to cope with the communication overhead, larger corporations add management hierarchies that maintain linear communication "vertically" and smaller group sizes for "horizontal" communication. They also add processes that decrease or streamline the amount of communication necessary. Management and process are necessary to keep the company from grinding to a halt under the weight of its own communication overhead.

However, management and process even when done well will add a certain amount of overhead and slow things down. Less than they would if every engineer had to check with everyone in Sales and Marketing before deploying any change in order to make sure that a deploy wouldn't disrupt a major campaign. More than you and your two co-founders sitting next to one another and asking "hey, I'm gonna deploy the Foo feature now - is that cool?" And when done poorly, management and process slow things down even more.
I disagree that companies implementing "AI" are less technically-adept than the average HN reader. This sort of comment has happened on other similar discussions.

It is untrue. They are very technically adept, with teams of people who are also aware of their problem spaces, and technology.

I understand there are some cases of lack of technical teams making these sort of decisions, but it isn't the norm, and even smaller companies often have incredibly technical teams.

I don't understand where this idea comes from. I've done consulting, and implementation of these type of projects for most of my life. My experience says it's false. What is the feeling that this is true?

Is it from people who aren't a part of the process theorizing that some unknown force must not be as intelligent as they are? Is it from looking at the decision making in general (why did they buy an ERP?), and making correlations?

I'm honestly unsure how there's this widespread idea that there aren't brilliant people everywhere doing the same work they are. Yes there are problems, and challenges all over the place, but I find I am amazed all across the country, and world at the level of expertise in companies.

Until tesla can provide a real world demonstration of an existing vehicle running at L5 automation after only a software upgrade, it's unproven whether the hardware required is present or not.

At some point, they will have to provide said demo or they will be facing a class action lawsuit that will bankrupt the company.
That's a coincidence...
When thinking about this before, I settled on the term "luck surface area" as well.

My version had one axis for "things you can do", and another axis for "number of people who know about the things you can do". The theory being - the larger the area, the luckier you'll be.

It came out of recollections about people I've met. One or two working on amazing projects at home and telling almost no-one, and others networking like crazy but with little substance behind it (as far as I could tell anyway) - both seemed like thin surface areas.
Within most science research groups there will be an expectation that you will be following the "consensus" model, whatever that may be.

That's because you usually believe it when you sign up. That's within a lab, not a field. You don't go play guitar for a group whose music you can't stand.

Anthropogenic climate change is the mantra for climate research, so you had better follow party line or you don't get funded.

This is where you either need to show some evidence or I'm not going to believe you. Outsiders say this, but the truth is usually just the opposite: If you have some results that are counter-establishment, the funding flood comes. Fifth force, earth angular momentum-coupling, cold fusion....

It's harder to get that evidence because, duh, if it were easy then that would be the norm- the standard belief of the field. This is the popular misconception that people have outside of research. It's one of those urban legends: sounds plausible, and somebody knows a guy, aligns with my belief system, therefore must be true. But the fact is, when something outside of accepted beliefs seems to have strong evidence, there is a lot of excitement in the field and people all talk about it and rush to be a part of it. Heady days!

In fact, many believe that certain things exist and spend their days, months and years trying to find those things.

I agree. As James Randi said, "Scientists, like everybody else, tend to find what they are looking for." It does take a while to break out of old theoretical frameworks. Look at the hoops that astrophysics is jumping through to explain their observations that are based on the idea that physical constants are truly constants as well as certain conservation laws. They are inventing all kinds of exotic, not-quite-self-consistent schemas for explaining their observations.

But that's very different from the assertion that "if you don't buy into it you can't get funded." It is true that you'll have to have your ducks in a row (stars aligned? heh) to get that funding, but if you had a way to explain all of this shit in a simple, self-consistent way then you would be fine.

But you wouldn't have to fight a bunch of politically-driven opinion-makers on that front because they don't GAF. With climate change you have to do exactly that- some politicians have forbidden even its discussion.
Thank you. At this point, I'm pretty convinced that my other assertion is true: that humans don't even have the necessary tools to think about and discuss this topic with any kind of rigor.

We are pleasantly and politely talking past each other, which is pretty fun and interesting, but not conducive to substantive progress.

In the end, I guess I'm saying that whether we have free will is effectively unknowable, that the underlying complexity is way too high for us to grok. Thus, there isn't a realistic difference between having it and not having it.

It brings to mind an argument I had with a creationist a long time ago, that asserted that the universe was only a few thousand years old. I convinced him that it looked much older than that, and the response was that perhaps God made it, a few thousand years ago, look billions of years old.

My response: "What's the difference between a universe that is billions of years old and a universe that, in every detail, only appears to be billions of years old, even if it is in fact much younger? If God made it look billions of years old, it's still very worthwhile to study and learn from it."

I view the whole free will question in a similar way: whether we do or don't have it, it seems like we have it, and so studying it is worth while.
Early Universe Simulated in a Cloud of Ultracold Atoms
Big orgs tend to rely on economies-of-scale and not nimbleness: they study the process and "regiment-ize" it to make it efficient by partitioning and standardizing labor, tasks, and parts so each part can focus on and perfect their particular corner of the world. Lack of nimble-ness is not necessarily the same as being less efficient.

However, regimentation can become less efficient if it gets in the way of change, and big orgs are known to be slow to change.
For me, it seems to be largely a matter of environment.

In my current environment, I find more peace and quiet and escape from worry in the evening/night.

Also, I currently have some health issues that often mitigate somewhat -- slowly -- through the day. (My current environment seems to exacerbate them.)

Countering this is a tiredness that hits with sunset.

When I'm somewhere else -- and also with other activities at hand -- being a morning person is not a problem.

So, my suggestion: Don't just look at yourself and/or your psychology. Evaluate what other factors may be influencing this.
There is a rebound, but it's very slow. The big issue is that automotive money has always been channeled outside of the city and there is little to nothing that will replace it.

Everyone is convinced of their ideas of what Detroit needs but I really think it needs to have some new industries and an economy that is diverse enough to support it in tough times.The problem is the only real industry to bring the kind of wealth the city was used to in the mid 20th century would be the tech industry and the Midwest is a bit too homey to be the next SV. People here deep down are still weary of sitting in front of a tube all day.
We do not at present have this available, but we’re quite aware of many people wanting to do that, and we want to support it if we can figure out a way to do it fantastically.

It's aspirational, not prescriptive.

Just consider urllib, urllib2, urllib3, and requests. Or getopt, optparse, argparse, and docopt. Or countless others.

I appreciate that the Python community continually strives for ever-more obvious and ergonomic ways of accomplishing tasks. While there is an ecosystem complexity cost to the solutions-that-weren't, it's no greater than the churn than I've seen in other popular languages.

The Zen of Python even pokes fun at the "one obvious way" by writing its three em-dashes three different ways in the same document.
The permaculture slogan for handling water is "stop, spread, and soak". A contour is at a right angle to runoff, so by digging a swale with a downhill berm you bring it to a halt. And yes, you can deliver water elsewhere by putting it on a 1-2% grade.

You can get some more context on what I'm describing from this article, though it sounds like your swale might be shallower. https://permaculturenews.org/2015/07/24/how-to-build-a-swale...

If you do it, you might consider filling yours with wood chips for appearance, easy maintenance, extra filtration, and to encourage soil building.

> Everyone in America doesn't want to stare at a computer, drink $5 latte's, and eat farm to table food. There is nothing wrong with a town that has $3 beers in a plastic cup and a crowd of people screaming until at the TV until they are horse.

Not only is this a non-sequitir from the previous paragraph, but drinking beer (cheap is relative) and screaming at a television is a tradition shared by people of every economic and social class in the US. Furthermore, no policy has impinged on or repressed anyone's right or ability to do that, and nobody is forcing people to drink expensive coffee or eat farm-to-table food.

Also, computers screens a reality of work in a developed economy. People working in modern industrial facilities have to operate sophisticated machinery, and that often involves computers screens, in jobs that have nothing to do with programming. I have family that manage aircraft maintenance teams in the military, and they spend a lot of time in front of screens, because it's the best tool for aspects of the job.

> There is nothing shameful about marrying a man or woman while holding each other's calloused hands at the alter.

The only people attacking straight-marriage are libertarians like Ron Paul, who don't think government should be recognizing _any_ marriages, so this statement goes beyond a straw-man, and straight into dog-whistle territory.
Disagree, it doesn't force anything to be anything else. It is what it is and it's pretty intuitive. PHP never claimed that arrays behave O(C) when accessing members†. It actually reduces complexity because there's only one container type. "Harmful" is ridiculous hyperbole, that's how the language is designed, you may not like how it's designed but not liking something doesn't make it harmful.
