This is useful and very smooth. Taking it for a test-run and as this is Show HN I'm not being picky, just some feedback.

On 'How much does it cost to hire?' https://mycompanyinfrance.fr/social-security

* I love that you can just choose one on the 4 input boxes and the others calculate. Lots of flexibility to let the user focus on what input they have and answer they want

* There's not an indication whether figures input are on a monthly basis, annual, or other. This affects the tax calculation: Entering 300, 3000, 30000 gets non-linear scaled results - major

* When re-clicking a field, previously entered digits need to be manually deleted rather than the field resetting - minor just my preference

* The breakdown of where contributions go lower down the page is great

* I'd input an existing French company that came to mind. Finding the 'This is not my company' link took a few minutes - minor

There is a fastidious amount of detail. You seem to have been very thorough e.g. bicycle allowance.

Does France also have tax, social insurance or benefit differences between cities/regions? Is it material? Is it worth the time/cost to manage?

On the reverse side, does France provide incentives regionally or based on city for starting companies?

For the above couple of questions, my context for asking:

I live in China and there's a lot of interest/very simple questions about tax that individuals and companies have. A handful of consultancies put online calculators for things like employment cost online and cover major cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, perhaps Hangzhou and similar) where social insurance contributions may vary.

They do this for free as a lead for their consultancy practices. They don't put calculators online for things like city- industry- specific incentives because this is a moving playing field with hundreds of cities moving incentive goalposts each month, it isn't practical to be accurate.

Are you looking for synergies with not only demystifying social security, but for example 'find an accountant' and 'find an office'. The potential for rabbit holes could be large, but also a very nice one-stop hosted CaaS (Company as a Service).
We regularly make sure they get experience doing nothing too. My wife and I are big believers in the importance of doing nothing, for imagination/creativity and also just because it's an important skill to have in life, to be able to sit and wait.

They're very imaginative, and we regularly find the eldest just sitting in a sunny spot in the room and "dreaming in the warm" as she calls it.

The only problem we struggle with as far as technology is that a lot of her friends already have unlimited access to TV and talk about shows she's never heard of because we don't watch (or have) TV. We purely do Netflix/Stan and YouTube, so she gets a bit upset not knowing what they're going on about, but she's starting to understand that everyone has different things they do.
I don't know if it does but I kind of assumed/hoped it did reconnect if a connection drops. But I can't find anything about it so I guess it doesn't.

I have seen a few definitions of casual smoking, I meant (one cigarette per week). I have seen not smoking every day, averaging less than one cigarette per day used.

"Pack year" is often used as a risk assessment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pack-year 1 pack year in a lifetime is not safe, but it is a vastly lower risk profile than a pack+ per day smoker.

> US border guards might deny you entry if you admit to previous cannabis use - for them "A confession is as good as a conviction"

Why? Is it not just selling and possession but also the very act of smoking illegal in the USA? Are the USA citizens forced to follow the homeland laws wherever they travel even if the laws at where they are are different? It sounds like if they had to still drive the right sides of the roads when in UK/Japan.

I may be getting this wrong... but how can this possibly work?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but he's trying to emulate 16 systems in parallel by vectorizing the instructions.

Ok, but this assumes that all paths are identical. Once you start fuzzing by varying their input, the paths will all vary at which point you're down to 16 non-identical paths again.

The whole point of fuzzing is to expose the different paths and this would fail horribly for that, surely?

I'll continue helping Kenneth with this, cause that's a pain point I also want to solve for myself.

On a related note, I tried to build something similar for Django in the past. (it worked, but it's somewhat under construction again due to changes in Django 2)

The Russian language version on Audible is one of the best narrated books I’ve listened to, with the other being The Sympathizer. I recommend it.
I felt the same way. My wife and I each got copies of the book so we could read it together and were excited about it, given the rave reviews, but neither of us could get into it.

I think I would get a lot more out of it as part of a structured class or group discussion that could explain some of the cultural references and symbology, as you say.
Nope. An algorithm has to be effective. You can find pathological cases for k-means such that it will never converge on anything useful. So if you set your termination case to be convergence it will never terminate and if you don't then it will never be effective.
What's a Senior Product Manager's Job?
In the long run its the same funding model as police and public schools, so health care will mostly be funded by property tax (or crazy local alternatives for those without prop tax), and the same local people who balance the tradeoffs of protecting from criminals vs protecting from fire will now be balancing education vs health care.

Virtually all health care is local and monopoly and time sensitive, just like policing or kindergarten.

I live six blocks from supposedly the best neonatal intensive care unit in the region; Only people who live nearby can benefit and I should pay more for it. Much like I pay a lot of prop tax for the local police to keep crime rates to low range of the suburban experience. Much like education I'm sure the feds and state will kick in some bucks but most of the money will come from property tax (much as most of the benefits to me come from living nearby)
In the UK, health insurance companies buy data from supermarkets like Tesco (gathered from loyalty cards) to understand your lifestyle and potential risk by viewing what you eat and drink over a period of years.

No. You can't prove that k-means does anything useful.
It seems replication of numerous UI frameworks to be a fruit of Evolution per se, and it will happen again and again.

You named Web Components, I've been embracing them for a while, but if you tried to switch from Google's Polymer to LitElement it wouldn't go smooth as you could have imagined. Both Polymer and LitElement are based on Shadow Dom and WC features curated by Google, but are not 100% backward compatible. That is to say, Web Components have been divided from within the same tech. No need to mention the rival concepts of "everything HTML" of Polymer 2.0 and fixing it to be "all JS and webpack-ready" in 3.0, and consequential deprecation of Bower.

And here you mention some Svelte and Stencil which I've never heard of before. Why need them? We have webcomponents.org already.
> why would SMS-based 2FA be LESS secure than no 2FA at all for unsophisticated users

It's not about the user, it's about the attacker. If your account has something worth bothering with, SMS 2FA is a way for an attacker to tell support "yes, I own the phone number, I just forgot the password", which gets the account transferred to the attacker more easily. It's a tradeoff between that and a keylogger meaning game over, but, really, how hard is it to implement TOTP?

> I think the author also fails to mention techniques for detecting account hijacking - Facebook and google for example both look at IP addresses and user agent strings, probably along with other factors, to detect unusual account activity.

That's a very good point, but those are more high-effort functions and only allow detection after the fact, rather than prevention. They're definitely great to have, but I wanted to show two simple features that can help your users' security greatly while being easy to implement.
Not really, because Angular is in the migration process for Web Components adoption.

And TypeScript is a JavaScript superset with optional type annotations, which can be ignored if one so chooses.

This might possibly be the best analogy for this industry I've ever come across.
That's interesting, I had no idea. Nor can I possibly think of anything that might serve as an example of "adult" on Sesame Street. Though I watched it mostly in the early 90s so maybe some of the older stuff is what's at "fault" here? Perhaps some of the themes might seem inappropriate for children if you're living in a homogeneous, middle-class suburb or town as many episodes did deal with things that kids growing up in city like New York might encounter.
Is there newsletter for which I can sign up ?
Blizzard also has their own stuff. OATH for everything would make things so much easier. I cannot understand why they wont simply do that.

What i hava a problem with in regards to account recovery options is that some services require you to also have enabled sms based 2FA in addition to TOTP or similiar as a fallback. That defeats the whole purpose of non-gsm based 2FA. The whole construct is as insecure as sms based alone, the TOTP part is entirely useless. at least make it optional if you think some users need it.

In which case owning the car is a no brainier because of the personal freedom and massive amount of inconvenience it affords. If you want to go on a road trip or eat taco bell at 1AM you can do that for just the price of gas (though you probably shouldn't do the latter because odds are if you want Taco bell at 1AM you're also stoned out of your mind and unfit to drive).
Bootstrap needs jQuery for anything that requires interactivity
Regarding "very simple" - as I recall from some book, first bug-free implementation appeared only after several years after invention / initial description of the algorithm. From wikipedia: "A study published in 1988 shows that accurate code for it is only found in five out of twenty textbooks" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_search_algorithm).

One thing that's different is that in many places in Japan there's a 2- or 3-foot high metal barrier between the sidewalk and the road. It's impossible to just wander out into traffic except at crossings.

It's an enormous efficiency upgrade. It's also an enormous convenience upgrade.

That's odd. I actually like the tunnel part, although it can be troubling to think about how what keeps you from drowning are a few rubber gaskets that deal with expansion/contraction of the tunnel.

I find the bridge itself to be very rough and industrial in its design. I was never fond of raw concrete structures.
Well, on that journey I had tickets for the connecting flight which was already boarding and the flight back, not to mention a paid for room in a posh hotel (in Canada) and plenty of accompanying documents from the main Canadian broadcaster. None of these documents were chewed by the dog and a sensible human being could use common sense to see that everything was legit.

However, for someone with a gun on their belt, having got their education from Hollywood films and with a government that snitches on the world to lock up dark skinned people in Guantanamo I guess this jobsworth mentality makes sense to them.

Upsetting people who have good money to spend means they don't come back. You don't want to be treated like garbage by imbeciles that insult your intelligence. It is taken personally. The U.S.A. is not that special, it is just full of entitled people that think they are special.
This. Most people don’t appreciate that banks are responsible for most of the attack vectors that cause their customers to lose money.

No 2FA options. Passwords are used directly to connect your bank account to third party apps rather than OAUTH.

For merchants, it’s worse. It’s 2018 and banks still allow Catch Me If You Can-style NSF fraud, even for ACH/EFT payments. Poor KYC practices that allow people to open accounts with fake identities. The list goes on.
I would argue that it is in no way a formal part of the process but rather a symptom of the culture in that industry. There is no written policy that says they have to be disrespectful. They dehumanize people and see themselves as superior, this is the result of essentially giving a group of people extreme power in much the same way as the Stanford prison experiment. They have very little limits on their power within 100 miles of the US border, essentially able to do as they please. If they overstep their bounds, their is generally no punishment.

There is no reason they cant do the same job while treating everyone with respect. When you work with a group of people that see themselves as hammers, everyone else is a nail.
Cynically its as much as they think they can get.

The pricing game is between the insurance companies and the providers; the end recipients of services have no involvement in the decision making process.

Its kind of like cattle, veterinarians, and ranchers. The cattle don't have much of a say in the finances or what treatments they get. The ranchers want them to feel good to make them easier to control, but ...

Wouldn't that mean that while many people moved to Colorado (some presumably for the weed) vehicle accident rates fell after legalization? The way you word it seems to imply that weed led to more accidents, and the incoming people "covered it up" statistically, but that doesn't seem to be the simplest read of the numbers.
This is great advice. The further you can get on your own dime will save you equity and get you better terms when you really do need capital investments. Early on, the biggest expense will be your time.

Production is also largely illegal in Canada, with the exception in some of the province of very limited growing for personal use. Legalization is, of course, legalizing consumption, there will be a government monopoly on the parts of the chains that actually generate money.

You'll have to wait a while for the case study -- maybe until the US itself legalizes.
Interesting! I knew that med school applicants were accepted on some sort of ranking and matching process but didn't realize there was a real algorithm behind it. This, or one similar, seems to be what's behind it.

The Economist bought hook-line-and-sinker into Brazilian partisan politics a few weeks back. They were fooled by cultural affinity: party A speaks the language of liberal centrism but is actually much more iliberal (illiberal?) than party B. What's worse -- The Economist knew this in 2010-16...
If you like DBSCAN, I would recommend checking out OPTICS. It is not a clustering algorithm per se, but generates information from which clusterings for multiple settings of DBSCAN parameters can be "queried" cheaply. The DBSCAN and OPTICS papers share an author. One my favorite algorithms. This is the original paper - [1], and this looks like a helpful presentation on the topic - [2]. Since you mention k-means, I would point out that unlike k-means which finds convex-shaped clusters only, DBSCAN/OPTICS identify clusters of any shape.

I laughed way too hard at this for some reason.
What you’re saying about support indicates poor process rather than an issue with SMS per se. All password resets should require email verification... so an attacker would have to either compromise both the email account and the phone number, or the password and the phone number.

It’s still not great - U2F is the way to go in my opinion - but good luck getting my dad to use any of that stuff.
There is an overhead, but the main problem with the new Reddit is not that it was made in React, but that it's a massive fuckup. Not only from a programming perspective but also design and UX.
Indeed I could have spared the terms, but your comment is exactly what I am talking about: developers often place themselves agains business people, sometimes feel superiority, and are proud of it. But in fact it's wrong and immature – working in a company means cooperation, and both departments have experts in different skills. Another common pattern is to glorify tools and frameworks and be passionate about them. Again, why? It's not like being a github issues fanatic and hateful of jira makes any significant difference in the end. You say devs spend extra 30min per day fighting jira. For one, if they are as smart as they say they are, maybe the problem is not jira but between the chair and the keyboard. For two, say devs don't spend that extra time on jira. Who do you think will have to spend extra time to collect all the info necessary for the company to know what's going on? Probably the business owner. But who cares, devs want it easy. I wish luck to those who are very smart, because they will always find good work. I have hopes for all the others that they won't end up just typing code, because in some years time they may be replaced overnight by AI.
Again I think Perl / Python are a perfect example of why post I was responding to is not true.

> Language power is inversely related to maintainability/readability,

Perl and Python are both considered equally powerful languages, yet Perl is a fair bit more expressive and as a result is often harder to maintain.
Sadly, the pebberholm biology experiment is a bit broken, as the island is often visited (for reasons I do not know) by police and construction workers.

IMO 1-3 is good advice, 4 has the good info weighed down by the wrong mental model, 5 is just awful.

From #4: I think it is critical to be efficient with your time. For example, make meetings short and do not waste a lot of your time getting a few extra tidbits for an investor. This has nothing to do with how you treat investors. And treating anyone like shit can backfire, probably not this time but later on. Be nice. Efficient, strong, self-interested but nice. It has much better ROI.

From #5. Do not make things up. On the other hand, do not disclose unrequested information that does not make your project look good

Great advice. I am not seeking investment yet but this is definitely something I may have to do in the future if I want to accelerate growth for instance.

After a few unsuccessful attempts working as employee in startups, I have decided to build my own. Over time and through multiple setbacks I have learned more about myself and what I want when it comes to the type of company I am building. To me it's very important for my co-founder and I to have control over the destiny of our company. Getting VC money can shift the balance of power and you could lose control over what you have built, which is not ideal. For instance VCs could block an exit opportunity which could result in life changing money for you because the return they get is below their expectations.

This may sound very naive, and I don't claim to understand your circumstances, but make sure you already have a strong, growing business so that you play a strong, iron-clad hand when discussing funding with VCs.

All the best my friend.
