Myself and many of my peers have had a decidedly opposite experience during the last 2-3 years and are enjoying a thriving economy. I'd suggest you're kidding yourself that it's -not- booming, and are suffering the results of choices made despite the state of the economy.

I see a few outdated comments here about the water at Camp Lejeune. In 2012, a law (Camp Lejeune Families Act) was passed to pay for medical care for servicemembers and their families who were affected by the water quality. Additionally, veterans who were stationed at Lejeune during that time now receive "presumptive service connection" for many ailments. This means they automatically receive disability pensions and medical care if they develop one of the ailments; they don't have to prove that they developed it as a result of the water exposure.

> Then there's another question, if someone is paying more, it means someone else is getting paid more.

But the someone else is the bank. From there it typically goes into government bonds or some such thing with an equally tenuous connection to consumer prices. Banks don't have a large desire for fresh fish or motor fuel that goes unmet only for a previous lack of funds.

What they'd like to do is find someone new to loan the money to, but higher interest rates make people want to borrow less money, so the bank will often just use the money to reduce the amount it itself has to borrow from the Fed.

I interacted with Google support (when it was called Google apps) for two things, the first one was I wanted to disable links in Gmail -- the support people couldn't understand what I wanted for about 30 minutes, then couldn't understand why I wanted it, then said it couldn't be done.

I don't remember what the second one was, but it ended with the support person agreeing it was a problem, but suggesting I post to product forum.

If that's amazing support, I'd rather rely on the normal channels: writing an angry blog post and posting it to HN, or suckering your smart friends into interviewing at Google and bribing them to fix your problems once they get there.
I think they're suggesting seperate channels for the non work related stuff.

Or just smaller channels in general.

The title: "America Is Losing Its Edge for Startups"

Based on the data they presented, this is true in a relative sense. Actually, based on your quote as well:

>Is American investment in startups decreasing? Not compared to China or whatever, but compared to itself? Or is it staying the same, or growing? Looking at Pitchbook data, the biggest year for US venture capital was 2015 ($82.2B), with 2017 close behind at $81.9B, and 2018 looking to be about on par. So stable, basically.

You've just shown that recent VC growth in the US is zero.

That, I would say, is 'losing an edge', when everyone else around you is growing.

Yes of course, others are playing catch up and realizing that the institution of venture capital can have big pay offs. But for the #1 contender to stop growing, does mean that they're becoming less dominant in a relative sense. And if trends continue, they will cease to be number 1.

But does Walmart understand why FK works and how to use it? Can they take that talent and apply it to US markets to give them a long term competitive edge?

Digging further, what business decisions got them into this mess? Will FK help them address their lack of vision or clarity around the new digital world?

I feel like many businesses look to some hot new tech solution for what are fundamentally pure business problems.

Akka, PWA and Tensorflow will not save Walmart from Amazon, if that is indeed the plan.

Please don't take HN on offtopic tangents unless it's in a little-discussed and curious direction. The last thing we need is for threads to get sucked into the black holes of generic flamewar topics.
The problem is that per-article adds a lot of friction. If I buy a newspaper, I don't have to buy it by article or section. Nobody wants to think about "this is 3 cents to read the article linked on HN" and they also don't want a surprise $80 bill at the end of a month.

However, the newspaper style "every article from today" or even "monthly access" still focuses around the thought of "you've picked one, or a very narrow set of news sources and do most/all of your reading there." We're all news grazers now.

We need federation. Let me pay one flat $20 per month bill, and I can read freely from a really broad range of sites-- say "every newspaper from a large wire network" or "95% of the 1000 most popular magazines". It needs to be organized to rein in the publishers, to discourage the "we're the big draw, let's take our content and start a new service" syndrome that has ravaged video streaming.
I would not call FK talent cheap, running a service at that scale is no easy feat.
There are plenty of chemicals that don't degrade or degrade extremely slowly (e.g., PCBs, radioactive chemicals), and which can influence a species or ecosystem over many generations.

> Why not do the obvious, which is to give every adult some free money each month?

Since the supply of goods and services is fixed in the sort term, pouring more money into the economy doesn't change anything in terms of consumption. Only, prices go up, because there's more money competing for the same amount of goods and services. These idea is called "neutrality of money".
Then let's increase the demand by diminishing the ROI of the current ad model. Something that can be done, for example, by using an ad blocker and never ever turning it off.
Well, if WaPo makes a distinction between subscribers and non-subscribers for this behavior (I'm not sure if they do or don't), they they are very clearly giving you a choice for how to pay for your content, with your money or with whatever information that can get out of you, and to that end they don't want you to block that because they actually want to get something of value out of the transaction.

> I think it's more crucial than ever that everyone use adblockers and refuse to support sites that retaliate with anti-social behavior.

How is this anti-social? WaPo offers subscriptions. I have one. Does that also trigger this? I can't seem to make it do so (but I also can't while not logged in as of now). If paying bypasses this, then there might be some anti-social behavior going on, but I'm not convinced it's on the part of WaPo.
> what business decisions got them into this mess?

Flipkart is head-on competition with amazon in India. And Walmart want to do the same in US. So what is your confusion? Wallmart can definitely apply the tech from FK to US market.

You can say that the only thing that exists is the quantum wave function, as what basically this paper says (particles are epiphenomena). That is basically hard-line Everettianism e.g. many worlds. There are still problems. QFT does not explain gravity very well either.

The paper claims "it's neutral on the interpretations" - it is not.

You have the most senior research professor of physics at caltech admitting there are problems still - there are of course physicists that insist they have the correct answer or interpretation - the hard part is convincing enough physicists to agree with them, which they universally do not agree.
I did not offer any opinion other than I don't like using the word toxic to describe people. But since you bring it up, my opinion on the article is that the author is in no way obligated to contribute code to open source communities that she doesn't like dealing with. In other words, I agree with her. I'll even go a step further and say that I support codes of conduct for online communities if they encourage civil discourse and encourage more people to participate.

As for my motivations - my comment was actually more inspired by the comments here than the original article (61 occurrences of the word toxic at the time I write this). Are you now going to suggest that my intent is to undermine everyone who used the word toxic here and replace their opinions with my own? Or are you willing to accept my plea to stop referring to people as toxic at face value?

Very good explanation. Thank you!

> Its easy to say "we should just get rid of debt", but the issue there is that we know debt works, when used well, even over the long run. Think about it: If I want to open a business, there's no way I can afford that without Debt. So I take out $100k. In five years, lets say I've made $500k total

This is the part where I fumble. In a society with 2 citizens and one bank, if citizen 1 borrows $100k, the maximum profit they can make = money borrowed by citizen 2.

Three cases in the above example with 10% interest:

1. Citizen 2 doesn't borrow but instead just lives by hunting deer. Citizen 1 and the bank will go bust

2.Citizen 2 borrows 200k and spends 100k on something citizen 1 provides. Citizen 1 makes 100k profit and repays the loan with interest, say total 110k. Now citizen 2 is still on the hook for 220k. How will Citizen 2 get 220k if he has only 100k left and the other citizen has only 90k left? The only way I see it is they produce another kid who takes another loan.

3. Citizen 1 takes 100k loan, Citizen 2 takes 5k loan. Citizen 2 pays 5k to Citizen 1. Citizen 1 did not make enough to repay the 10% interest. So bank sucks it up and gets back 105k. Citizen 2 absolutely doesn't have any money to repay that 5k loan they took. So both Citizen 1 and 2 are busted. What now? They have to take more loans infinitely? (Short of producing other citizens who take loans)

I would really appreciate your views.
My point was, it's more than tech. It's how your business is run, it's how you apply tech to business problems, it's your vision of what your future company looks like.

"Apply tech to the US market" is really just part of a larger problem. It's like moving to AWS and assuming your velocity will speed up because "cloud things".

If Walmart has a vision and innovation problem, I doubt the hot new shiny is going to change that in the long term. Many companies adopt some new tech hoping it will save them, not realizing the real problems lie elsewhere.
True that.

> Common Lisp has readtables, which you can create and change. So you can read certain files with a different readtable, leaving the default intact.

That a footgun can be occasionally be handled carefully does not erase the fact that it's a footgun. The ability to modify the read table on the fly is for certain super interesting, but IMHO very dangerous. I am glad that the languages I use on a daily basis do not have this capability, for certain.

> This is just the usual super method call in most object-oriented programming languages. If you have method and you want to call the method from the superclass, you have to explicitly call it.

Not a good comparison. While there is some similarity to super in languages like Java, the :around and call-next-method in CLOS is far more dangerous. In Java, super calls are inside the method in question, any stupid decisions around super are right in front of you. In CLOS, it can be in any file in your code base. This makes the source of the problem far less clear, and expands the possible scope of WTFs by a lot.

> The LOOP macro is not CL specific. CL has inherited it from Lisp Machine Lisp, which got it from Maclisp. At MIT it was even a single source file for several different Lisp dialects. The origin of this macro is actually Xerox' Interlisp - where it was called FOR.

An interesting history, for certain, but still jarring as hell, in my opinion. Macros like these are un-lispy, and really never should have been included. I always avoided them for the more primitive looping constructs, but which ones exactly now slip my mind.
Personally, all of it.

Honestly, it's not our job to find a business model that works. It's literally the job of a company trying to make money. Find a way that works.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for cooperating and working together to solve things. But the ad industry is so out of control that there's no cooperating with that. If they find a way to serve ads that are not privacy-invading, do not expose users to malware risk, and do not consume exorbitant amount of resources on the user end, we'll talk about shutting off ad-blockers.
I don't know how WaPo does this, but all newspapers I've tried including NYT and The Guardian and The Economist have a lot of tracking in their apps even for subscribers.

So it's a crap deal.

My understanding is that this is only about memory access patterns, and has nothing to do with multithreading. The basic example being matrix multiplications C=A∙B. If the matrices are too big to fit in the L2/L3 cache, you have to think about how to optimize memory access. So instead of having the compiler just generate instructions to read/write memory, you want it to interleave instructions to prefetch memory, ahead of time. But how do you do that? What is the best point in time to prefetch?

Another optimization is locality: The basic algorithm is to loop over i and j, then multiply A's row i with B's column j. You do that with another loop over k to compute the sum over Aᵢₖ∙Bₖⱼ, then store the result in Cᵢⱼ. But what if one row or column is already too big for the cache? Also, once you invested into loading the data into the cache, you want to make the best use of it. You don't want to load it again if you can avoid it. So what you do is you limit the loop ranges for i, j, and k such that the overall memory accessed fits into the cache. But what are the optimal loop sizes?

The answers depends on the CPU architecture (cache sizes) and probably also the memory that you're using.
