If this were the case, I think it's much more likely the EU would try and achieve this via changes to tax law for corporations operating within the EU than copyright directives.

There's been a lot of press about how little tax the Google's and Starbucks of the world pay in the places they derive the revenue, and some of the highly creative ways they avoid (not evade) taxation. That would seem to point at issues with international taxation agreements rather than copyright.

But also don't forget to subtract rent (the value of actually living in and enjoying the house or one of equivalent value). It'll probably work out to the same or a slightly higher ROI
Would love to see an Outlook/Outlook Calendar integration. Any plans for that?
It doesn’t have to be nationalized, it could alternatively be honestly priced and advertised. Most other businesses work this way: Starbucks doesn’t say “sorry, we only can give you half the coffee you paid for because our suppliers want more money and it would cut into our profits.” Instead, they work behind the scenes to make sure they can serve their product as advertised, and raise the price if necessary. I don’t know why you think the internet is any different; it’s a set of negotiations like any other business.
Sounds like a great subscription business right there. Charge $X per month to aggregate obituaries and make them searchable or matchable to a list every day. You just replaced a $60k/year employee.
When I played baseball growing up, the street was level and hard and so on. The backyard with grass had a steep hill and poor traction, etc. The street in front of my house made a much better baseball field than my steeply sloped, grassy and uneven backyard.

Yet, it was right in front of my house, so I could use the bathroom, get a snack and remained under the watchful eye of my mother, unlike, say, some distant park with a proper baseball field.
Facebook and Financial Firms Tussled for Years Over Access to User Data
With leveraged products (like rolling turbos [1]), that risk is usually on the offering institution? I dabbled in those a few times when pretty sure (or full) of myself. There are no margin calls in turbos, you add leverage to your liking (x 2, x 5, x 10, ..) and you pay a hefty interest on your leverage (say 7%). Your exposure is exactly the price you bought for.

I can see why this title seems misleading, but I think it really depends on how you use Inbox and what features you care most about. What I'm really going to miss with Inbox is how my e-mails were framed as tasks that I needed to get through each day. I could easily check them off, or snooze them with an implied priority (later today, this weekend, someday, etc.).

I found a lot of value in that, so I hope that I'll find a lot of value in Monolist. I haven't found a task management app that successfully incorporates many integrations (that I actually use) in a way that is useful, and intuitive. I think there are a lot of opportunities to add delightful features, looking forward to giving feedback!
IMHO, It should be up to the respective authorities to decide if things are covered by copyright or not. Following this ridiculous proposal, THEY should be the ones to provide the relevant tools and services to service providers to enforce this ludicrous position.

Why do people keep calling him a genius? His main distinction is his money and DESIRE to build interesting things. Nowhere is his staggering, extraordinary intelligence evident. I’d love to be demonstrated wrong, but this genius fetishism seems to be harmful with no benefit: the man is running a company. Judge him on how well he does, not how he’s so intelligent it's so sad he can't take care of his employees responsibly.
But it's not the AMP itself that matters — it's Google's cache/CDN thingy that only selects pages that are AMP…
You quite right, those are the reasons we trusted him. Clearly, the love for money was bigger than his love for the family.

Half of Kansas City's downtown is parking lots which generally sit empty during the day.

Existing laws we already operate under have much more severe maximum penalties than people realize, and judges are (relatively) reasonable at applying them correctly.

I don't think the system is working well at all. We have a situation where vague laws with severe penalties allow prosecutors to grossly overcharge. This is then used to coerce the accused into waiving their rights to a trial, in return for the certainty of a more limited punishment.

This is a bug exploited as feature. Pretty sure this happened organically, it was not a dollar design decission, but it has, and is, exploited to the advantage of the US, economically and politically.

It's one of thousands of laws, but sure, this one is the definitive indicator of the EU's values.

Emphatically yes; Musk being the current head of Tesla and SpaceX has been the defining characteristic in preventing me from seeking work at either company. I'd be sending out applications to both if he announced his departure (or even a long sabbatical).

I believe very much in the missions that Tesla and SpaceX romanticize, but I cannot reconcile those with Musk's public behavior. Calling people pedophiles on the internet, trying to suppress unionization efforts, and seemingly lying about going private entirely on a whim does not pass ethical muster for me.

China is in an extremely weak economic position. Their economy is large, but fragile and extremely vulnerable to external disruption. If you doubt me, realize that Chinese leadership also realizes this, which is why they created the One Belt One Road initiative to shore up that vulnerability.

I think we can do better than AMP. How about having no Google affiliation and making it a strict subset of HTML+CSS? Those AMP tags make the likelihood of independent implementations much lower. Can we just remove client-side dynamism/interactivity from the picture at least at first or as an option? We can go a long way with pure, strict, reduced HTML+CSS (still includes HTML forms). I've been toying with this idea myself [0], but the key is strictness and complete no-runtime-needed backwards compat w/ current HTML+CSS. And for goodness sake, no proxies, pre-rendering, etc.

Apple is trying to solve the UX issue of orientation and position with wireless charging. Current wireless charging is pretty shitty in that regard, the idea being that a large device with a matrix of coils that can be intelligently activated based on where the device is located would solve the problem.

Any other solution would seemingly still have the orientation issue.

Seems like they completely missed the point. They need to make search results not rely on the page using AMP but just being light and fast. If the page uses AMP to do that, great, if not, shouldn't matter.

I remember the project Looking Glass.

It was one "few days work" demo somebody threw around when they first were able to manipulate windows in 3D in a compositor with Java, but it got traction in parts of the OSS blogosphere/forums as some revolutionary new desktop experience (even though there were already several similar commercial offerings, and itself was little more than some little-thought 3D manipulations and in no way an actual full SUN project).

It was touted as "SUN innovation" example, and predictably, it got nowhere.

Here it is in all its glory. Even then it was a derivative, no-sense concept: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1JwfgBv5bg

I've seen the same story play out several times.

E.g. there was a node.js based editor that was the talk of HN for a while. Got nowhere, was just a simple editing window + crude syntax highlighting, and it was obvious from the start that it wont go anywhere with its direction and chops, but not if you heard the gasps just because somebody powered an editor with Node:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2020673

Or the Lighttable editor -- itself being abandoned for the next shiny endeavor, which again makes sense as it was just some inline REPL touches on top of a crude editor. At least that explored the design space a little, but the promises where touting it as the next thing that will revolutionize programming...

The secret is there is no trick. I set an alarm and get up. Do that every day, even the weekends, and you'll start going to bed at a time that works.

I love the feeling of getting up early, getting a ton done (gym, errands, personal projects, work) all day, and that night falling asleep in minutes when my head hits the pillow.
You're still tracked, analyzed, and targeted both on and off the web by thousands of companies. Not to mention government snooping and surveillance. Even the social media giants which you deliberately never signed up for are still collecting and monetizing data on you.
This is disingenuous. Yes, an ISP can’t do anything if you pay for 1Gbps but can’t download that fast from a server in Turkey. But the only reason a customer can’t get sufficient bandwidth from Netflix, whose servers are often 5 hops away in the same city, is because the ISP is not doing their job. Being an ISP implies also doing a proper job of setting up agreements such that the bandwidth you pay for is usable.
That’s right. I don’t think this is for RTOS.

Well, you were close enough, in Italian (my mother language) metonymy is "metonimia" and symmetry is "simmetria", it is not uncommon when I write in English that I wrongly use the italian spelling for words that are very similar.

Anyway, back to the Steve Jobs case, remember that he wanted not only to talk to the entity that held the patent, he also wanted to make a 1 million $ proposal for acquiring the license and wanted an immediate reply, so he needed to talk to someone with enough power to accept the proposal and to accept it immediately, so that would be very specifically be either Jeff Bezos or a top Amazon executive with those powers (and the guts to close such a deal directly on the phone without telling the boss), there is no contrast with Tim Cook wanting to talk specifically with Warren Buffet.

Don't fall for it. This is centralization of the internet, no matter how they claim decisions will be made. Google is doing this not for some benevolent idea of the mobile web "experience," but to try to control traffic and advertising revenue. That's their business.

And other investors see that short interest piling into an otherwise healthy (hypothetical) stock and they buy in anticipation of a short squeeze. And when the stock pops due to good news, those shorts become rocket fuel for the stock going up.

No single action in the stock market happens in a vacuum, and longs will absolutely react to what the shorts are doing. And a high short interest is often viewed as a contrarian indicator that dumb short money has piled into the stock and that its actually due for a pop. You often see that at bottoms in the stock.

Gamasutra – How Subset Games Made the Jump from FTL to into the Breach
Many of Nietzsche's ideas are almost entirely antithetical to the cultural sensibilities of HN so the discussion that you're going to get on here is not going to be that great.

This piece presents an exceptionally shallow introduction and survey of Nietzsche's body of thought. If you get into reading Nietzsche with the intent of learning how to live better you're going to have an impossible time.

If you're interested in reading Nietzsche I'd recommend first reading more philosophy and history (the things Nietzsche studied) in order to get some context for the things he says. It's pretty much impossible to understand what he's talking about unless you have that knowledge since his works are (in large part) a critical analysis of the nature and evolution of the modes of human thought and behavior.

I will come out and say I don't agree with this portrayal of EU legislation being absurd. Time and again we're discussing what's wrong with the current web landscape: commoditization of content, leading into an attention economy with tracking and surveillance, and concentration of ad spend and most money to be made in the hands of very few players. If creators don't get their share of profits made using their works, this won't sustain further content creation. YouTube and file sharing sites can not shrug and say "we're just running the platform" when they disproportionally benefit and leave content creators with a pittance if anything.

Now that the EU actually wants to do something about it, the law is being denounced as lobbied by big media, but, to the contrary, the current status quo only serves Google et al. I have my reservations about the feasibility of content filtering, but "EU vs the Internet" is coming from an internet "mob" mindset having come to expect everything to be free (as in FREE of direct cost) immediately and without friction. "The Internet" is not consumers, but made by creators. In fact, I'm cautiously optimistic this (and the GDPR) legislation will benefit smaller publishers and diversity and bring back unproblematic syndication and end-user content aggregation via RSS or similar.

The EU is first and foremost a common market and concerned with creating fair economical conditions. Obviously, the web is stuck (economically) in a quasi-monopolistic situation. The EU Commission/Parliament is attempting to do exactly what is necessary to re-establish desirable market conditions. If they'd do nothing, this would question their very reason for existence; they're not in for establishing state- or other monopolies. Along these lines, what the EU should consider next is to establish workable e-payment standards and legislation.
Has anyone ever made a psychoanalysis of the average musk/jobs/zuckerberg "fanatic".

I feel like people have some sort of messiah complex. Where companies become religions each with their own set of rituals, like waiting for 10 weeks in the street and inquisitions denouncing critics as hereticals ("shorts", "android-shills", etc.)

Finding out whether people try to replace their philosophical hole left by a lack of believe or being dissatisfied with materialistic world-views is the cause of this "technoreligions" in the 21st century could make for a nice dissertation.

Ask HN: Continue as a PM or jump to sales?
To the HN community,

I am exploring new opps and have come up with 2 possible routes. Opinions appreciated. :)

Goal:
To continue learning how to build companies from a holistic perspective. As a prospective founder, I aim to be well-rounded to be able to understand the diverse challenges from each side of the company. I currently have:

- 2 years of iOS dev experience

- 2.5 years of product management (B2B2C SaaS)

I have spent my whole career in early stage startups (< 30 employees, between Series A & B).

Possible Next Step:

(1) continuing to dive deeper into product at a larger company to learn how a well-oiled machine operates

or

(2) jumping to sales/bizdev

Why #1 makes sense:

At this point in my career, I’ve worked on going from 0 to 1, finding product market fit, and wearing lots of hats outside of product.
It would be interesting to work on a mature product with an existing, larger user base.

Why #2 makes sense:

I love interacting with people. I have a personal CRM and host weekly dinner parties in order to bring people together. Reaching out to people while at early stage companies to raise money, talk about partnerships, etc, was a very fun part of the job. When I start a company, I am SO excited about the prospect of pitching my idea to get people to believe in the vision.

Closing thoughts:
It’s tough to admit this, but I do not think I’m cut out to be a professional developer. I love building things but enjoy having control beyond the implementation process. At least in the development jobs I’ve had, they were not enjoyable because I was always being told what to do.

I am intrigued by sales or biz dev, but the two concerns are:
(1) will I have to take a major pay cut vs. a PM role at a large company? I expect target range for latter to be in $110-130K area. Money is not that important, just want to ensure not a ~50% pay cut.
(2) is it seen as a step down to go from a PM to an account manager or something similar?

A hybrid role is ideal, but realize that roles at larger companies are more clearly defined.

Thanks for reading :)

> You are confusing the issue imho.

California companies often have you sign an agreement that prohibits working for competitors, and says they'll fire you if you do; as far as I know, those are enforceable. That seems to meet the naming convention of non-compete. Perhaps we need to use another word for the post-employment non-competes allowed in less civilized regions.
