Every social network ends up having somewhat of an emotional tone as well that springs up out of its users as an emergent property.

Like clearly Tumblr and Blogger and Twitter, despite being structurally not that different from each other, have different cultures.

What I’ve found interesting about TikTok is that the culture seems so joyful. Lots of really happy people sharing in a way that actually makes you feel some cohesion with other people.

People checking in from the South, or Georgia or Wisconsin, or the city or country, etc. it’s sort of the opposite of the constant divisiveness you feel browsing Twitter or Reddit. Or the opposite the little cultural bubble Facebook puts you in.

I wasn’t aware the internet could still do that. I think that might prove to have interesting implications.
I don't envy them, especially that I've been through such an arrangement and the second order effects got me in trouble at work more than once.

The biggest problem is that there is no "dumb money" floating around - or at least not nearly in the same amount as in the US. Where there isn't any venture capital available if you're not copying a US-proven business model (this is the modus operandi of Rocket Internet), there cannot be the creation of SV-style startups.

What Europe does have however (and especially Germany) is a healthy "Mittelstand" - small-ish companies that don't have exponential growth figures but nevertheless are world-leading in their respective niche.

For those complaining about "muh the taxes / wage costs are so yuge!!!", compare which benefits these taxes provide and what the US simply does not have (think of a proper social security and healthcare system or public transportation, for example).

I would be glad to take an opportunity to insult facebook again, but actually I don't like this sentiment at all. It just happens so that facebook is among the least trustworthy companies at the time, but I wouldn't be more at ease if they had a good public image and its head would be a baby-kissing politician making donations left and right. Image is just that, an image, and if somebody manages to seem "good" for the public, it only makes them more dangerous and is more of the reason to be worried about them.

Perhaps the only good thing about facebook is the public distrust of it right now. I hated it much worse when people unironically called Google "the good company".
Well this is the most replies I have ever gotten on HN. I strongly regret discussion my feelings on my own religion on here.

If people don't think that breaking "whites" down into Jewish/Non-Jewish and nothing else is strange then I don't think we can discuss this topic rationally.

I use Tik Tok every day and like a good percentage of the content it shows me I’d consider “gay.” They may have restricted LGBT content in the past, but they definitely don’t now.
Oh, my bad -- definitely a fair point and I agree. I would love to see an internationalised version of this website with chemical details, and perhaps more safety information.

You have other options, like VOF or CV, if you have funding constraints.

Here in Belgium there's the "starters-BVBA" which is the equivalent of the 1 euro GmbH. Yes, there's paperwork and some investment involved, but IMHO it's a myth that starting a company in Europe is a huge hassle.
This is fantastic. I fetishize learning and I'm quite envious of the stuff that you got to learn. For me, the ability to learn hard things is what a PhD trains you for. Yes, it's not financially rewarding in the first few years of your career but with the right tools, mindset and some guidance from peers and one's advisor, you can put a PhD to good use.

That said, I'm not a PhD. How do you recommend one learning multi-disciplinary skills these without one?

Just want to say for the sake of others reading that this comment is exaggerating + generalizing a bit.

Everyone is not obsessed with turning data into revenue. Most smaller tech companies (ie. Sub billions in revenue) are not in the game of monetizing data. My feeling is the market exists mostly between very well establish and very large companies (such as ISPs, advertising networks), but that same market doesn’t exist between newer / smaller companies that haven’t reached massive scale.

To anyone in the EU: is GDPR something that your non-technical friend will have heard of and knows what it is? Or is it similar to the US, where 75% of people probably haven’t heard of it or if they have, couldn’t say what the regulation does.
I have try to be able to use both. e.g. I know how to set up a path and hit search for files but I find FZF to be better.

I know how to use Netrw to show a file tree but I prefer the look of NerdTree.

I also often use ctags for navigation but I'm using coc.vim plugins more and more to get code aware LFP features.

Generally I try to avoid custom mappings though so I'm closer to vanilla vim when I need to be.
True. I was using mcedit for quite a while, until I one day had a short contract with one of the better known Czech programers and saw vim in action in skilled hands. It looked like magic.

I started learning it shortly after, despite being in time press at the time. It helped immensly. Just navigating around the code was amazing. Macros, repetition of the last edit action, increment/decrement a first number after the cursor, block editing, lot of tiny stuff that is just so good when combined.

I even wrote a bunch of vim code to help writing GObject C code, when it was still boilerplate heavy back in 2006.

Ask HN: Startup Facebook business account restricted
My startups Facebook business account was restricted for unspecified policy violations. The restriction email came immediately after a failed billing notification, and we've only ever had one ad rejected since we launched. I'm almost certain it's unrelated to policy, as my startup is highly uncontroversial (taxi SaaS provider), and is a case of automation.

As a result, we're unable to place any ads, invite any new admins to our Facebook page, update any business information or manage associated developer apps. Unless this can be resolved, this company is dead in the water.

Facebook support has been awful. There appear to be two different forms for appealing an account restriction. One of these forms resulted in the account being apparently reinstated after a few days, however the restriction is still in place. The other form didn't get a reply for almost a week, before they determined that the account would remain closed, and the support ticket was closed, with no way to reopen or escalate.

Has anyone found a way past this?
Mhm, yeah, it depends on how you look at I guess. I meant if you fine tuned your code to take advantage of the strengths, it could be very good for those workloads. But maybe they built something which from afar, if you squint a lot, has more of the strengths of a programmable GPU today, while they pitched it as a general CPU.
It seems like the author didn't understand the landscape. Isn't their description of Germany basically consistent with the US (e.g. California)?

> When employees in Germany exercise options, they have to pay income tax on the difference between the fair market value and the strike price, and that rate runs from 14% to 47.5%. They also have to pay a 25% capital-gains tax on additional profits when they sell their shares.

And their description of the US is misleading. One always has to pay tax at exercise, just like in Germany.

> In contrast, American employees typically pay a 0% to 20% rate on capital gains when options are redeemed, though they may have to pay additional levies when they’re exercised, depending on the timing and the type of equity incentive program.
There has been an agenda against DoH from the start.

China is attacking it, ISP's are attacking it, all with loose arguments and fear-mongering.
Some authoritative DNS servers may respond with incorrect IP addresses for specific IP subnets of an ISP (i.e. pointing to unreachable or slow far away servers), so it could be useful to fix this either statically or by forwarding domains to another DNS resolver which gets proper responses. Things like that.

You must click on "Continue with Recommended Cookies", or you cannot use the site (you could use uBlock to block the element, but that is besides the point).
The problem in Sweden at least is that you need to pay this tax before you can even sell your stocks. So basically you have no money to pay the taxes with.
The CPU bugs go back much further, probably the late 00's in the beginning of the end. Short sighted speed cheating got them into this mess.

I just started renting flat in France and the amount of paper I had to give wasn't particularly bad (id copy, copy of three pay slips and proof of home insurance, which I did in two day over the phone and by internet)
> All sorts of things are possible but it misses a fantastic opportunity to compartmentalise the data away from the implementation.

That's what schemas are for. You have a schema for your code and a schema for your data. You can redeploy the code scheme independently of the data scheme and set up permissions so that higher layers can only use objects from the code scheme and never touch the data.

> Put complex logic in there and all that is really being accomplished is now you can't migrate away from PostgreSQL.

Say you wrote your code in PHP, now you want to migrate to Ruby or NodeJS. You can't, you have to rewrite everything. How often do you plan to migrate to another database? In my experience this almost never happens in reality, but the layers above come and go.
Emergent properties is a good way of putting things. A lot of these things seems to play out in an at least somewhat chaotic and difficult to predict way. Remember Orcut, which effectively ended up as Google's Brazilian social network.

Sometimes rules and other deliberate structures guide the evolution but it's often small things that aren't obvious up front.

And, of course, very different things can evolve within the same social network. Lots of people don't care about monetization on YouTube. For others, it's what YouTube exists for from their personal perspective.
Apparently this works on healthy people as well (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5592297/). "it was proposed that use of emerging brain stimulation techniques might also enhance physical and mental performance in sports." Anybody...want to try it?
I'm no Intel fanboy, but I think it is too early to speak of Intel's demise. They are still making a lot of money. I mean, AMD only has single digit penetration into the datacentre market, for example, and Intel is still compelling on mobile.

And I suspect the real answer is they set their targets too ambitiously with their new node. Their 10nm was simply too big a jump with too many unproven technologies, with too many unexpected obstacles.

But I wouldn't count them out of the game just yet. They are an aggressively competitive company. They'll be back.
I'm not sure that I see the point. I mean, the daemon would need to run somewhere. And it'd need to render stuff. I guess that there'd be less going on, so less that's exploitable.

But no, I haven't done that.

I mainly depend on compartmentalization. This VM runs on a host that contains no information about my meatspace identity. And the machine with that information is on a different LAN.

Edit: But upon reflection, I have done something like that. Sometimes I run remote dedicated servers. Accessed via Tor (via nested VPNs) and paid with well-mixed Bitcoin. With LUKS and dropbear, of course.

If I run VirtualBox, I can basically do the same thing I do locally. I use pfSense VMs as VPN gateways, to create nested VPN chains. And then Whonix instances, which hit Tor through those VPNs. And I access the remote VMs via VRDP via SSH via Tor etc.
You claim the organ harvesting means the whole government can't claim to have ethics, I think that's just stupid absolutism (the world doesn't work with Boolean logic), and my counter-example is to ask if the US government can claim to be ethical given that we know they've put toddlers in cages.

I can probably give out examples of "unethical" behavior for every government on this planet, and then no one will be ethical any more. What then?
This article makes me nostalgic for the days when every office building on the planet was carpet bombed with black and charcoal Dell Dimensions.

I imagine it's hitting the jobs a step or two above the tellers as well.

Also, these are not legal requirements but requirements of landlords (apart from ID, perhaps), and they tend to be similar in France and the UK.

But when it comes to setting up a company France is nightmarish compared to the UK, which has one of the simplest, quickest, and cheapest systems around.

The last time I rented a place in France was 2007 and it didn’t seem that onerous even then. But what I lacked in paperwork I made up for by paying a larger caution.

Basically, landlords are reluctant to rent people who may not be able to pay. And it takes years to evict. The more likely you aren’t in that group the less paperwork they’ll need.

This isn’t a good example because you wouldn’t pre calculate vat and store it for product listing, as vat doesn’t apply to all countries and it’s subject to change, and differ between countries. (Japan just changed gst yesterday)

You also wouldn’t want to run a function on something you need to filter against. To give you an example we have the concept of a “deadline” date which is based on the time the record is stored + a period of time which it must be completed by.

Calculating that column in sql before doing a where filter is crazy slow when you’re looking at millions and millions of records. But pre-calculating it and storing it, and then adding an index on top of it, is insanely fast.

This is currently done in code. But if I moved this to a computed column then I can Ensure the result is always up to date if the period changes and avoid code being written to accidentally forget to update this value.

There are use cases for computer columns. As there are for functions. And doing it in code.

This feature in pg12 mainly gives us the ability to index the value which we couldn’t do before.
Sounds like a very interesting project, but actually I belong to the crowd who would close the tab basically after reading the second paragraph. Which is a pity, because this sounds like an implementation which could be very nice.
> The evolutionary history of our own kind is already looking far from linear, and it's going to become even more complicated once we take seriously the fact that a species is nowhere near homogeneous in its skills and intelligence.

I believe one of the reasons we as an species have what could be considered advanced skills and high intelligence is that we are very diverse and try different strategies as different sub-populations. It's a long term evolutionary adaptation, and we can't afford to be homogeneous. That would slow down innovation to Komodo dragon levels. In practical terms it would basically destroy innovation. IMO.
Book looks interesting but the reviews are a bit of a mixed bag mostly about copy editing, has that been your experience?
I guess so but for a lot of buyers they're not even considering AMD. They're just using it as a stick to beat Intel with for a better deal.
Paperwork is just an excuse, the issue is cultural. People in Europe are simply less entrepreneurial than in the US, maybe because the employer-employee relationship comes with more perks, like several weeks of vacation so people take less risks.

It's considered risky to start a company and generally not that well looked upon, when compared to staying as an employee all your life and getting a higher position in a company, even though your revenue would probably be lower.

There is much more social status associated to being a higher level employee than to being an owner of a small to medium sized company.

Paperwork is not a problem, a few phone calls and meetings and its done. You can start a company with the help of your accountant in Europe, the accountant will take care of everything. The accountant will schedule the appointment with the notary, do all the paperwork, etc.

Developer freelances are asked nowadays to have their own limited responsibility company, that can be used later for an online enterprise as well, that's what I did.

There is even an option of paying a very small amount and setting up a quick limited responsibility unipersonal company, that then can graduate to a regular company later on.

There are of course other factors, but I think 90 to 95% is purely cultural.

> Now the privacy and surveillance implications of something like this is another story...

Those would be resolved here and elsewhere if the industry could be made to stop trying to own people's data. It's not the data that should be a commodity, it's software and clouds.
You would only get more data if you queried for *, and you should know better than to do that.
At that price point I'd rather spend a little more on AMD and get 24 cores. Because let's be honest, if you got the money to build a REALLY high end PC why are you penny pinching on the CPU? 200-300 isn't a big leap when the motherboard costs more than that difference.

I incorporate a Delaware C-corp and would like to engage an offshore company to develop the technology. Since I do not have cash to pay them, I offer them a standard YC post-money SAFE for say $50K.

So I do not exchange cash. But bottom line, I offer them payment via stock with a standard SAFE. Is this possible?
