To be fair, all of the standard host types that AWS offers, for example, are pairs of hyperthreads, so you are getting a dedicated CPU and are presumably not scheduled on the same core as a thread from another tenant.

That is, unless Amazon has made some unusual scheduling decisions.

yeah, you're getting skimmed hard between wire transfer cost and that spread. If you have access to an FX brokerage with reasonable fee, definitely use that.

I personally use Interactive Brokers, one free wire transfer per month, and you can get spot price on your exchanges. Only fees I pay are a couple dollars IB charges on exchanges, and twenty dollars or so my bank charges for receiving wire transfers. Only downside is that they hold the money for 3 months before allowing withdrawal into a different bank.

I have had a hypothesis for awhile that the economy is going to see a lot more post-retirement startups. You've got a ton of Boomers who are going to be bored who are or are about to retire in the next 5 years. I was talking with my mom, she's wondering what she's going to do and I floated the idea of trying to start a business with one of her hobbies. I think she's going to do it when she retires in a few years.

You've got extended lifespans incrementing up with each census, meaning people need to make money to pay for the extension to maintain a quality of life; however, most retirees have their housing locked down and the necessities paid for.

I know several retirees that have done something similar, most go into a consulting role/function helping newer companies since their knowledge and experience is their #1 asset.
It's also a false premise to think "rich countries" need a lot of investment in public transport because they are rich. Investment should be tied to population density, not the ability of "rich countries" to shoulder more tax burdens.

The reasons why presented in the article aren't right as most of the commenters have pointed out.

My counter point to this is Hockey and the USSR. Hockey is also a free flowing game that relies on team discipline and individual creativity. The USSR was an amazing hockey machine.

It comes down to cultural reasons. USSR's people liked hockey and the USSR supported hockey monetarily. The USSR finds success in hockey. Brazil's people like soccer and Brazil+Brazil's private teams supported soccer monetarily. Brazil finds success in soccer. China's people don't know what they like yet. The people have just started to have have free time because of the recent economical liberalization. China has only started to support soccer monetarily. So it's reasonable to expect that China doesn't play soccer well. They could be better in the future as long as they have the time and culture change it needs.

Side note: I don't know why England sucks. The people love it, god awful amounts of money are spent on soccer/football. But thank god they haven't figured it because the world would not hear the end of it...

Only my limited personal experience here. In the last 20 years I’ve used the following public transport:

- One bus ride in western mass with crazy drug head yelling crap.

- Six T rides in Boston, one ended with some drunk dude yelling and cursing at me. Another with some bum hassling a woman and then pretending to have a gun when my buddy stepped in.

- Four Metro train rides from CT to NY. Not too bad. Only saw two fights that didn’t involve me.

- A few metro rides in Paris, nothing bad, just a few harmless beggars.

- A few time in the Tube in London. Jolly good there.

So, my personal answer to this question is safety. Fewer crazy passengers and more security.
From the FAQ:

Do I need to have Elm installed to compile my .elm files with Elchemy?

Elchemy uses Elm to typecheck your program. It is possible to use it without Elm on your machine, while it's not advised.

So it seems that it literally transpiles Elm syntax to Elixir, the type safety relies on Elm apparently.

Targetting BEAM directly should be possible in the future, to me it looks like an attempt to save a lot of time to make Elm suitable on the server side.
It's unlikely a state is going to unwind their taxing and funding model for a few remote jobs (nor should they).

EDIT: OP mentions the state in question is Florida, which has no personal income tax, but does have a state sales tax (disclaimer: I am also a resident of Florida); I believe a recent court decision on the HN front page [+] makes that a moot point (the business will have to collect those sales taxes regardless of nexus), which leads me to believe their decision not to hire OP was a bit short sighted.

What is the dominant platform for Fortnite? There are 125 million registered users and 3.3 active concurrently but I have yet to see any numbers broken down by platform.

Galaxy brain: if your config is programmable, it can read whatever terrible configuration format you want. That means my settings.py (yes, I'm forced to use Django) is configured via environment, which is populated by k8s from - gasp - JSON files.

That means that if I wanted to configure Vagrant with JSON, there is no force in the universe that could stop me.

If the config file is actually a normal program, then it can do normal program things, then any benefit from using JSON instead is nullified by the fact that you can still use JSON. In turn, if your tools primary configuration is via a more limited settings, you're stuck with it. Not even "generators in other languages" allow comparable runtime flexibility.
>Food is already exempt from sales tax.

Wrong. Come here to Virginia and try it. Or any Southern state for that matter.

Note: In Virginia, groceries are taxed, but at a lower rate than the normal sales tax.
One that shows proper example, but there can be more, especially if they aren't exclusives. There is no point for developers to waste time.
> One big confounding factor could be the cost of student debt. You can't tell your student loan company to defer payments until your business gets off the ground.

But how many prospective tech start-up founders are saddled with student debt?

Granted I went to school (public university) 10 years ago, but in my experience the majority of the students in the CS program all come from the following cohorts:

* professional parents paying for school

* Students receiving massive amounts of grant money, with minimal loans needed

* Students able to get top internships/TA positions during the school year, which more than offset school cost.

I agree loan debt is a problem in general, but among the population that has produced VC-funded startups, it feels minimal.

(The actual "problem" I see is that opportunity cost of a start-up is now higher for these would-be founders because large companies pay so much.)

From reddit, which is a very left leaning site, the amount of hatred and distortion of logic is insane. On one thread, a redditor proudly proclaimed that he distanced himself from relative who are "nice people overall" because they support Trump. Media articles & podcasts have so exaggerated Trump's perceived threat that some people literally think he's an American hitler. I feel the truth is more that he has a brash and selfish personality and he does not care about the opinion of the 1/2 of the country that didn't elect him.

That graph is fascinating. The decreasing value of formal higher education to becoming a successful entrepreneur is being accelerated from so many angles. The cost of collegiate education itself has risen dramatically, while at the same time the cost of access to collegiate educational materials has plunged to zero due to the internet and open publishing. If this trend continues, I wonder if motivated, aspiring entrepreneurs will be better off skipping formal higher education altogether. Could that already be true today? If someone can decide that the college path is not for them at a young enough age with a high enough level of maturity, then they can unschool and skip the bull-shit college-admittance optimization altogether, and instead focus on actually becoming an educated, masterful individual in domains that will help them create new value that they, and society, care about.

Of course, there's so many confounding factors feeding into this one simple graph that I may have over-extrapolated to this particular thrust, but I think it's a perspective completely absent from the article that should be articulated.

I remember a 2 1/2 years into my career as a software engineer, I was on an initial phone interview with a VC firm. The position was a lead frontend developer role, total comp was $350k-400k roughly - I had an unusual level of expertise in the primary tech wanted.

During the phone interview, I asked some questions about work involved, work-life balance, PTO/holidays - the work sounded a lot and the engineer claimed good work-life balance. It didn’t add up. The kicker though was only 6 days of PTO.

Needless to say, I passed on the role.
Actually, my experience with these venues is that they don't care about local, available talent that's almost certainly better. The reasons behind this are up for debate.

We could have it all.

This study conflates starting any business with a starting a startup aiming to raise VC $$ and become a $100M+ business.

I'd venture there are hell of a lot more startups now than there were 15 or 20 years ago.

Other data indicates that the number of folks no longer starting a typical small business for reasons that are multivariate and its a trend that started in the 1970s, so has very little to do with Google/FB/Amaz/Apple/MSFT, and probably much more to do with the change in anti-trust enforcement which allowed the creation of predatory megacorps like Walmart.
Arguments like this annoy me. Someone has it figured out so it's OK for these complex tax implementations to exist. No, it's not OK, and it's not a solved problem. We recently implemented sales tax collection using the TaxJar API combined with Stripe. It took at least a month to integrate. These integrations are huge drains on business productivity. Government has to stop creating these complex rules. Create simple rules and stop treating everyone's time with such reckless abandon.
I wish we'd stop calling Democrats liberal and Republicans conservative. They're not, they haven't been for a while. Neither party represents either of those things anymore. You might even argue that they never did.

> How many of the 3000[0] "terrorists" that Obama ordered blown up (accruing about 400 civilian casualties in the process) had actual plans and setups in place to make the trip to America and kill someone?

This is a relevant question, but not precise enough. What I would be interested instead, is, what's the total mean and variance of american lifes saved in all those operations? And more importantly, what other hypothetical possible combinations of these variables (civilians killed, combatants killed, unuidentified casualties, mean and variance of americans saved) we could have if different decisions have been made - i.e. what's the whole problem space?

Of course, this data is impossible to get and hard to estimate, but this is much closer to the real dilemma at hand.

Being part of a team means accommodating your team members. We can argue what is a reasonable accommodation or what is not. But it's not too much to ask for Linus to stop typing in all caps, or accusing his team members of being morons.

It's possible to be amusing and make a point without singling out a contributor for humiliation. Obviously, we have to be free to criticize other's work. But as the article shows, most of Linus's message isn't constructive criticism. It can be re-written to mean the same thing, yet preserve the dignity of the person he's criticizing.

Here in the US, the better cuts of meat you get at a market, where they cut and weigh and package it for you on the spot. The keyword here is: "package". They still have to wrap it up in something, even if it's a special coated type of paper. That's a package. They're not going to just hand you a slab of bare meat with their bare hands.
I think what the author is trying to point out here is that in the world we live in today the stock market indexes are less valuable. Stocks used to be able to be bought using technicals like the P/E ratio and other financial tools. As companies like facebook and snapchat and the likes. Companies whose values cannot really be calculated by the assets they hold (land, machines and factories etc). Their value is in their Brand, their IP and other subjective articles. But they are listed in the stock market and they dominate the stock market today. It generally makes these tools weaker in calculating the value of the market using stocks which was created for an industrial age
I don't think I made any such switch. In fact by opening up and not artificially limiting supply of permits or immigrant work ids you massively reduce the need to hold employers accountable.

Right now the employers are held accountable in many cases. They are the first line of defense to make sure someone we have decided is an illegal immigrant and not allowed to work in the US, doesn't work. We selectively enforce this behavior with laws that punish businesses that allow illegals to work.
I've been building an animation tool that provides a UI over http (https://github.com/logicalshift/flowbetween) so it has a lot of these problems.

For running as a local app, what I really want is to be able to run the server as a UNIX-domain socket. (Well, I can do that fairly easily but what I really want is for browsers to be able to connect to one of these).

For a single-user app the main issue is that it could be running on a multi-user system so there's the possibility of contention for ports and so on, as well as the need to verify that the right person is connecting - while it's possible to just bind the server to the loopback address anybody on the same system can access it there so it's not necessarily secure enough. For localhost verification, accessing/setting some information from a file URL might work.

With the loopback address, encryption doesn't seem to matter too much: anybody capable of intercepting traffic between a piece of software and the browser will also be in a position to just directly read what you're typing. Possibly by looking over your shoulder.

However, one of the reasons I want a HTTP UI is to make it possible to use something like an iPad as an input device and there are definitely issues there when the service is something that's randomly stood up and torn down and usually running on a local network rather than the internet: in particular TLS really expects a centralized service so it seems anything other than a self-signed certificate isn't going to work and that comes with a bunch of scary messages for the user.

The other issues of authentication all seem to be much the same as for any other web app, though it seems to me that it's possible to streamline it a bit as it'll be quite common for a user already authenticated on one device only to need to prove that they're the same user on another.
