It's long been said that you can mix ethnicities and races but you can't mix economic classes. Americans have yet to understand this clearly.

The integration of New York City neighborhoods in the 1960s-70s led to massive white flight out of the city, lowering the middle class population drastically and destroying stable districts. Was it worth it? Some claim yes, others claim no. I believe the city made a mistake by buying up property and giving it to lower income ethnic minorities to forcibly integrate neighborhoods, rather than encourage organic integration by business investment, tax breaks, opportunity zones, etc.
The main point here I guess is that Children can't necessarily judge that.

Ask HN: Are there experienced (co) Founders looking for new ventures to start?
The best advice I’ve received surrounding startups adds up to: Spend time on the right things. Get customers early. Have a short feedback loop to your customers. And not the least: Make sure you start with an experienced founder.

The last part resonated the most. Are there experienced founders in The Netherlands looking for new ventures to start and grow?

Let me know! I’m very interested and would love to explore together.

-----

As ideas are a dime a dozen, I’ll share one of mine. Put as many holes in here as you’d like :) But if there’s any part of the idea which tickles your enthusiasm also do not hesitate to tell us!:

A car sharing service. There always is a vehicle within 5 to 10 minutes from your location. Subscriptions for 300 euros per month will allow (fair) unlimited use of relatively premium vehicles. (Tesla 3 which will also allow important future autonomous abilities)

- Initial market: The top n cities + their suburbs. The Netherlands. Late Generation Y early Z with a median+ income.

- Car ownership in NL is expensive and costs about 250-700 euros/month all in for a cheap to mid range vehicle.

- Cars are generally used for less than one hour per day.

- Generation Y and Z are less into ownership and status, more into “unlimited” and ease of use subscription services.

- The trend of (large) companies going towards 2-3 on premise working days and 2-3 WFH days per week will reduce rush-hour load. Companies going for a “only be at the office when necessary/for social cohesion reasons” solution will further reduce load.

- Autonomous driving is key in the near future. Initially we would need to figure out how to overcome this. Ideally the vehicle drives itself to our customers doorstep when requested.

As with any idea, there are lots of pro’s/cons to this. More in depth document → https://docs.google.com/document/d/1InNvzdEph2Q62524kTdhGjAgLlc3C9W1d0MRjGmEJfw
Yeah, but that was 25 something years ago. When they stopped collab, they stopped needing to have code that ran on Unix.
Why not more money? Shareholders of course. We’re talking about a company that skirts US labor laws by hiring in China. All profitable companies make these decisions to survive and succeed, not to improve the world the best they can.
Yes & no. I agree that race is not the be all/end all, but the racial wealth gap in the states is so great that when you're talking about low income/poverty, there is huge overlap between race and class status.

Obviously Apple has no vested interested in combatting wealth inequality, but I think that any movement against inequality needs to also recognize how vast and rampant racial wealth inequality is.
Just wait until the author visits a small town where people grow their own food and raise their own livestock.
This is valid, but in reality Apple wins because they are fundamentally better managed in most ways that most European companies, point blank.

That's a hard pill to swallow because it doesn't boil down to simple things like R&D spending by sector.

Also, it means there's not that much the state apparatus can necessarily do.

It's a fantastical misunderstanding of markets to suggest that 'government does stuff and then we win'. Obviously government is very important in systematic ways, and even more so in direct ways to help nations get over their limited size to do things like 'Airbus'.

And while Steve Jobs probably would not have thrived in Europe, he did however in the US and there isn't quite a corollary in Europe.

There are so many factors.

And most paradoxically - many of the factors that hinder Europe from expansion, have benefits in the other direction. German culture is much more formal, the gears run pretty well there, but they also are more resistant to change. Attitudes towards work/live balance means a high standard of living, and that's worth something of course.

Etc.

One thing worth nothing that nobody seems to talk about so I tend to highlight it, is the media participation in industry. In the US, CNN will talk about 'RobinHood' and 'Bumble' and 'Tesla' endlessly. The amount of free PR and narrative building is incalculable.

Most of the rest of the world is not like that.

How do you compete as a little European entity that nobody talks about, when CNN is giving millions of 'free impressions daily' to your competitors?

As one of many differentiation.

Of course, in China, you have a managed economy in which the winners are effectively chosen, and the state backs them.

Normally - this does not work.

But when you have a nation that is 'behind' typically you an have some central planners make rational investments in 'infrastructure' and specific industry. Much like the post-war planning of Korea and Japan. After a while, the marginal returns to 'low hanging fruit' dissapears.

China continues with that approach into the high tech world. While they build 'highways' (much like US strategic investment in the highway system in the 1950's) - they're also building out consumer payments (Ali), taxi services (DiDi), networking (Huawei) etc. - in a quasi capitalist way - things which, in the Western world we opted to have done in private markets.

We have to find and grow new leaders! :)

My general comment is: please, pick one issue you care about, study it, find the leverage points, and make time to get involved. This might mean joining an organization, volunteering, making a tech project to share what you've learned -- even running for office.

Based on your username, I would guess perhaps you are already involved to some degree around pollution or environmental issues [1]. Let me know if you want someone to bounce ideas off of. I also can offer this perspective: ongoing dissatisfaction, properly harnessed, can be a great motivator for change.

There you go again, hiding behind technicalities to dodge the interesting discussion. Laws aren't magic; protected classes aren't magic. The laws reflect our understanding that abridging liberty in some narrow cases served the greater good in some manner. My argument is that some restrictions on liberty serve to maximize liberty more broadly. If you want to argue that political viewpoint should not be one of them, you have to actually make the argument. Simply citing the law doesn't make your case.

The RaspberryPi is also "disk-less", which to me is one of the major limitations.

> that the vast majority of phones these days have their bootloaders locked.

I don't know if that is actually still true. Back in the day nearly every phone in the US was bootloader and carrier locked. Now basically every phone is carrier unlocked and anything besides Samsung can have the bootloader unlocked very easily. I guess Samsung phones are the most common but there are certainly many other options that are more open.

Amazon is not a utility, they are a private company which leased Parler "space" in an unregulated industry. The contract that Parler agreed to has an Acceptable Use Policy which is very broad. If Parler believes AWS breached their contract, they can sue just like in anyone else in a contract disagreement.

Maybe in the long-term we'll look at hosting more like real-estate and it will have more laws and regulations about what the providers can and cannot do, but I doubt it and I'm willing to bet the trade offs that come with that are truly terrible. Imagine how many things wouldn't get off the ground if hosting contracting was even 1/3 of the real estate process.

More importantly, hosting isn't a monopoly. There's no government provided moat that justifies that level of regulation. The way I see it there are only two things that are in utilities in the internet space, ISPs (both consumer facing and interconnects) and DNS, and DNS is arguable.

In less than a week, all the major tech players banned/ended the same entity. While sure, they found certain infringements due to their ToS, there's a large swath of entities that infringe on their ToS who are not banned. Along with, it's painfully easy to prove it's because the ones not banned are politically aligned with the platform. To state it's a ban due to violence, absolute bullshit. There are tons of Facebook livestreams of violence, gang based, that NZ shooting, and just random people thinking they're cool and hurting folks to gain popularity (and making an easy case for prosecutors). Facebook hasn't been banned from Google Play Store or Apple App Store yet. "But they don't have to moderate due to 230". Well, why does Parler have to then? I'm actually okay with Parler being shut down (mostly because I never used it or really care) but then I want to see the same punishment for other social media platforms. Hold one accountable, hold them all accountable. No favoritism just because you wear a certain color tie during political meetups.

Sure, maybe there is no law that really punishes selective enforcement of company policy. However, can you really say that it's not absurd and ethically fucked up? Can you really not see, "Wow, these companies do hold too much power in public discourse and can twist, bend narratives in their favor"? As the general public, we need to vote with our wallets as well as ballots. These companies need to know that this shit isn't cool or funny. Giving them blank cheques everyday because we're too lazy to change our habits will never help. Complacency isn't an excuse after a certain point.
The distinction between users and customers is blurry. You can be a user and, effectively, a customer even if you pay with something else than money (eg. we pay Facebook with our data).
There is absolutely nothing wrong with using 4chan, or many memes that come out of 4chan. Most early memes have originated from 4chan anyways.

There is definitely something with being racist and generally unpleasant, which is only a tiny portion of 4chan, just like it is a tiny portion of twitter, or reddit. You are using a part to make a judgement on the whole, which anyone can do for any website. Is reddit a "bad" website because there are anti climate change subreddits?
Of course they could work together. Governments work together all the time. By maintaining their sovereignty, they would only need work together when it benefits them, rather than when it benefits others. By remaining as small as possible, they can more effectively represent their citizen’s interests.

> The Apple Developer Academy will offer two programs in Detroit. A 30-day introductory program is designed for learners who are considering app economy careers and looking to better understand what it means to be a developer. The full academy program is an intensive 10- to 12-month program that will help aspiring developers build the skills needed to participate in the iOS app economy, and even start their own businesses. Apple expects the academy’s programming to reach close to 1,000 students each year with a curriculum that covers coding, design, marketing, and professional skills.

It appears just like M1 chips social justice and racial equity are also in service of and limited to Apple's interests.
Yes it is legal with the caveat that it has to be in favor of black, hispanic, or native americans. And that racial discrimination is allowed to extend to much more tangible things like hiring/promotions and university admissions. However, I don't think targeted investment like this is discrimination, though. In this case it is legitimately an undeserved market and potentially a gain for Apple to go after it.
C99 is not the current C Standard. C11/C17 have more-or-less deprecated the conflicting bit (VLAs) and C++20 adopted some of C's extensions. So, things are better.
Put more simply: never run `sudo pip install foo`. That's never expected to work, and it's a pity it doesn't just give a simple error "don't do that!" rather than sometimes partially working.

As you said, you should start a new environment instead and install whatever you like into that. For Python, that means using virtualenv or python -m venv. You can always use the --system-site-packages switch to get the best of both worlds: any apt install python3-foo packages show up in the virtual envioronment, but you can use pip to shadow them with newer versions if you wish.
You don't need a vtable for overloading; that is just runtime polymorphism ("ad hoc polymorphism".

This ignores the ordoliberal[0] perspective, which IMHO deserves som attention if we are discussing the German approach to these questions (which I believe differs/diverges from the principled view of these questions from the anglo-american/common-law PoV)

From my perspective, the real danger is the collaboration of state power and private capital power, because it inevitably leads to the death of any notion of democracy. Whether that happens in free market/social democratic/neoliberal/ordoliberal societies is irrelevant, when the result is a consolidation of the power of private capital and state mandated power. (We used to call this corruption, but the term feels irrelevant.)

I believe a healthy society (under our current paradigms) deeply requires an antagonistic relationship between state power and private capital.

(Just to be clear, I believe these are emergent issues, and I absolutely do not claim to possess any complete truth)

>Honest question: is it actually legal is the US to discriminate by race like this, and “invest in black and brown companies”?

Yes. I don't know why this appears to be such a common form of confusion on HN (same principle applies to recent free speech debates too), but you have no right to a private entity's resources. Public resources, those of the government which are backed by force and come from us all, those have strong limits. But private entities are free to invest however they like, or not. Public serving companies do face requirements when it comes to providing general service, and employment to Protected Classes [1]. But when it comes where to actively invest their time or money, the government generally has no role to play except in the civil enforcement sense, though society of course always does.

>I thought they ended this in the education system (“affirmative action”) because it was illegal?

Actually that's still an ongoing debate, but that aside "the education system" almost always means "the public education system", including any institutions that are nominally private but depend significantly on federal grants or loans. Taking money often comes with strings attached, and public institutions are often quasi-government legally. Public universities are bound by the 1st Amendment for example in ways that private ones are not. Apple is in no way a public institution.

Also, again investment and their own speech is not the same as "providing service".

Age (40+), Disability status, Familial status, Genetic information, National origin, Pregnancy, Race, Religion, Sex, Sexual orientation & gender identity, and Veteran status. Most of these come directly or indirectly from the Civil Rights Act of 1964, though there have been later laws for some (genetic information being added was sometime in the 2000s).
> Apple how about you let the social justice fight to the NGOs and the political parties and instead you announce

Apple has a handful of employees. I suspect they’re more than capable of doing more than one thing at a time

(Pure speculation though... the whole company might still be focused on un-jamming that printer in HR)
Not many people program in assembly, but teams working on compilers like gcc and LLVM very much do care about the ISA.

Apple has been able to make great progress moving from Intel x86 to their own custom ARM M1 processor. The way I understand it, RISC-V may allow similar advances.
There's no umbrella answer but overall it is rosier in every aspect. For example, EU has a mandatory thing called "employee representatives" (although created at employees' initiative, it cannot be blocked) and some EU countries mandate also union members into those. Obviously these constructs will create a lot of friction with US management style, but I'd say that's the very reason they were created.
This is actually fairly easy. Typically in tech, management and ownership % for white men approach 100% in the limit. So companies will typically count as investing in a minority business all of the edge cases you can think of, because the norm is ~100% white men in positions of power in a company.

Compared to ARM, nothing significant. They're very similar load-store architectures.

Here's a RISC-V quick reference: https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/teaching/1617/ECAD+Arch/files/docs/...

And ARM: http://users.ece.utexas.edu/~valvano/Volume1/QuickReferenceC...

The main difference is that RISC-V is a lot more modular, so it's going to be difficult to distribute binaries for but more flexible if you're doing something completely vertical. Also a lot of the modules have bundle relatively common/easy instructions with niche/difficult ones. E.g. multiply with divide.
