I think it is set of different problems Southern Europe and France are almost hostile to entrepreneurship and startups. Nordics, Baltic and Benelux countries mostly nail culture and regulatory frameworks but small markets slows down starting and scaling business. Personally I don't know what is problem with Germany probably something to do with how German is organised around manufacturing.

Show me any subsidy in the EU that supports a business losing 500 million dollars a year for 10 years.

No. The US has become reckless with money, and the concept of a successful business has been entirely substituted by "but this unbelievably unprofitable company with no chance of ever earning money has an imaginary market cap of 50 billion dollars".

You can just map a combination of two buttons for a triple-click. Also, the trick is to click somewhere near the trackball, the buttons have lower resistance there.

This said, I've never found my Slimblade comfortable and have accepted that my Magic trackpad is the most ergonomic device for me. Every time I use a trackball I get hand fatigue due to palm shape and hard buttons. Precision movements are also hard on big and hi-res monitors. I am always re-adjusting the cursor position.
> expand

Sure. I don't know what most of the buttons do on my car's dashboard, because of the "iconitis" disease that has infected user interface design. Unicode has blessed and encouraged this crap. They don't just standardize, they invent icons intending them to replace the phonetic words.

(Apple is kinda schizophrenic on this. Sometimes you'll see "DELETE" as a button, sometimes a trash can.)

I don't know what the wash icons on my clothes mean without going to google and looking them up.

You can't look up an icon in a dictionary, making it a fundamentally wretched replacement for a phonetic alphabet. Worse, people persistently try to invent icons for verbs and adjectives, which never ever work. Even for nouns, is that scribble a bird, a duck, or a chicken?

My car has a button with something that looks like a snowflake on it. Does it turn the heater on? The defroster? The air conditioner? Turn on traction control? Who the hell knows?
The article is written in a convoluted way, but the main points it makes are valid in my opinion. The first being that science alone can never legitimate itself as being the only true way of doing something. This legitimization must come from somewhere else like philosophy and can never be part of science itself.

The second point is that there is will always be a gap between science, reality, human understanding and application of science. Even the scientific process itself involves subjective decisions not derivable from science, e.g. what hypotheses to test.

I think the author wants to convey that doing everything "the rational way" is not objectively superior than doing everything according to some other set of principles.
I believe id.me is a corporation that sells your personal data, and the identity-holder doesn't benefit from id.me selling their data. Their privacy policy makes mention of list-scrubbing services and marketing uses of data, and other shady things that I understand are quite normal in the US, but make me nervous.

This is part of what I was referring to by "conflicts of interest": I don't see how any private corporation could possibly be trusted to do this.
I've had the reverse happen, where I had to configure my firewall to deny outgoing connections for Steelseries Engine. AFAIK it's the only way to prevent it from updating to Steelseries GG, which adds things like "Moments" and "Giveaways" but offers nothing new for configuring Steelseries hardware.
It took them a while to wake up, but I think Argos is better now. You can collect from stores, get it delivered, sometimes even same-day delivery. I value having a store nearby. I trust them far more for commodity products (chargers, accessories, etc) than venturing into the Wild West of Amazon sellers and reviews. I also feel I have more recourse if something goes wrong.

(And no I don’t work for Argos!)
I think he is confusing "interdit bancaire" and bankruptcy. If you end up being put in the interdit bancaire file, yeah life pretty much sucks and most bank will refuse to do business with you. But having a company that go bankrupt doesn't mean you will be put in the file. You usually need to do things like stop paying your loan to be put on this file.
I visited a retailer's website recently and wanted to use what I thought was a text-chat popover thing to ask a question about stock availability. Once I clicked it, it asked for permission to access my microphone -- err, what? -- when I denied it, I got a chiding message telling me to enable microphone access so I could speak my question, so that some salesperson could listen to it and send me a reply email within the next business day answering my question.

Ridiculous.

EU regulation generally doesn't have "de minimis" exemptions. If you have something that takes a flat cost of €10k or €100k to comply with, that burdens small businesses much more than large businesses, and a startup is a small business in the beginning.

Theoretically if you want to build an electronic product and sell one (1) unit of it in the EU you need to give it the full works of CE compliance. I don't believe UL/FCC are quite so onerous? And certainly this doesn't apply to random items in unmarked packages from China.
HN downvotes 90% of my comments. I wouldn't take it to heart. It's not common for the herd mentality to do anything but pile on. Plus you have to keep in mind that many of the users here are employed by Amazon and are in perpetual self-denial of the unethical nature of their employer. The cognitive dissonance is necessary for them to avoid an actual understanding of how they enable it all, regardless of whatever division they may reside within ("I'm just an AWS dev. Pissing in bottles, what's that got to do with me?!!")

Then you factor in the astroturfing by contracted subsidiaries through shilled comments and votes/likes/dislikes all over the broader internet.

My advice is to get used to the downvotes. When there are few comments but many downvotes, it's pretty indicative of a poor attempt to suppress valid information. They have no counter arguments, just a supression button. Consider your task accomplished. ;-)
To me the stars seem more similar to likes, follows, and subs.. a popularity metric for social media. And unless it spells that they're big, it actually gives me a rather negative vibe. Assuming I'm hiring for a technical role, I'd be unimpressed to see someone attempt to flaunt the 10k karma they scored on HN or the 150 followers they got on twitter.

Also as others point out, if you don't see what their contribution is, it seems even more flaunty. "Talked to a guy with 100k karma"? It's pretty easy to sneak a few low-impact commits into big and popular projects.. (speaking as someone who's got a commit or five e.g. in Mozilla Firefox)
It's a pretty regular occurrence for the political PR machinery to try to get stories published that basically say that (thanks to some politician's doing) European region X is now going to be the next silicon valley. ...none of that ever actually filters through to the daily realities of a European entrepreneur. ...omg, the war stories I could tell, being an E.U. entrepreneur who was dumb enough for large stretches of time to believe the hype.

Exactly!

I've had all kinds of ideas. No claim that any particular idea is going to be an improvement, but here are a few one could try:

- Putting rate limits on commenting (perhaps taking effect only after a person has commented in the same thread a few times)

- Reading your comment aloud, back to you, before you can click to post it

- Giving you a field in your profile to explain your communication style and good intentions, which is displayed whenever someone is composing a reply to you

- Requiring you to switch to recording voice or video messages, after you've typed back and forth with someone a few times

- Automatically switching to private messages, after you've typed back and forth with someone a few times

- Simply showing you some general advice on conflict resolution, nonviolent communication, etc. while you're composing your comment

- Asking you what you intend to achieve by participating in the conversation, and then reminding you of your goal

- Asking you how much time you want to spend on the conversation, and then showing it to you

- Requiring each comment to be approved by the author of its immediate parent (so you can disagree with each other, but you have to be kind)

And so on.
It seems strange to me that this is done through diplomatic channels rather than the regular international mail routes between the two countries. Unless you mean the mail for the Slovenian and Slovakian embassies in third countries.

But as another example, Korea Post, the South Korean postal service, recommends including "Seoul" in all addresses from outside the country, even if it's going to a different city, to increase the chances of it going to the right Korea.

I don’t get how there could not be a multiverse. At minimum, we can neither prove nor disprove that there is a separate parallel universe which is completely undetectable, because by definition, everything would be the same either way.

What interests me is quantum physics like shown in the double slit experiment, where if a random action (electrons passing through 2 slits) it creates a seemingly-impossible result (interference pattern), but only if you don’t measure the electrons. If the universe just split into two parallel universes on each random action, measuring the action would not affect the outcome.

...nothing? Why makes you think they should be able to say anything?

I'm so perplexed by your question... you seem already quite familiar with ordinary differential equations and state-space models... which are concerned with the observability of continuous-time models, right? And yet you pose a counterexample using a cryptographic hash function, which is a (very!) discrete function, and one that is specifically designed to be unobservable? Isn't that even more jarring than asking physicists to predict human life expectancy from the Standard Model? What makes you think the answer might be anything other than "no prediction"...?

My Journey as a Self-Taught Programmer
As always, good trolling pjmlp.

There was a proposal of a some lambda thing. From looking briefly over it, it seemed too complicated to me. I hope it doesn't get included.

If you look on the Wikipedia page for C2X, there is no mention of lambda: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C2x .

Instead, pretty much all that is listed there are small and useful cleanups of the standard:

- two's complemement is required, which I assume will remove some UBs
- Labels can appear before declarations and at the end of compound statements
- Removal of K&R function definitions
- Unnamed parameters in function definitions

In fact those are some of the major complaints people are having with the language currently.

As well as some very useful features that are small and self-contained

- A feature for binary resource inclusion in the preprocessor (#embed)
- Binary literals such as 0b10101010
- _Static_assert

I don't know the process and the people well enough to say I agree with everything WG 14 does, but I'll say that's how you improve quality of life while staying humble. The changes I see here, no chance of having to fix some grand idea over decades, like with RAII which requires N new type specifiers and constructors, move semantics...
Depends on the workplace. I have company provided laptop (32G RAM, Ryzen 7 PRO 2700U) which was empty (well, Windows) and I just nuked it and install archlinux.

So I just work-provided machine, but with my config and I just saved bunch of money since I did not have to buy it.
> If you live in a safe and secured society why would you want to do something risky like creating a startup

Safe and secure unlike... California? The founders of US startups are already in very advantageous positions in life. In fact that security helps with taking business risks which is the opposite of what you're claiming.

> A reasonable guess, but if that was the case we would expect low functioning autism to be extremely uncommon compared to either "mild" autism or other developmental issues, since very few kids would happen to fall under both conditions.

Diagnosis of autism requires running through a checklist as part of an interview, or a behavioural analysis if younger. If you're completely non-verbal and thus incapable of being interviewed you can still be shortcut diagnosed as autistic, which is actually my entire point, the behavioural checklist is not that stringent. A number of severe learning disabilities can pretty easily be swung into an autism diagnosis, making the spectrum seem more like 20 conditions we can't distinguish rather than 1 condition with vastly differing presentations.

> SV ... is where startups were invented

What exactly do you think "startup" means? To me, the word just means a new small business. Such things have been around for centuries, before the USA even existed never mind SV. That's true even if you take startup to mean specifically those taking large outside capital with a goal to grow large quickly (which I don't think is necessary, a bootstrapped startup is still a startup IMO).
I'm rooting for something like this too. As for the carbonfact and their focus on promoting eco brands, I'd like them to present an alternative metric if/when possible.

Measuring each individual product is complicated and doesn't have to reflect brand's entire emission output. If a company is 10% manufacturing and 90% marketing then the methodology used by carbonfact will be underreporting the emissions.

Some brands (inc. Nike) are already disclosing their total emission. Others might be forced to do so in a near future by regulators. Would it be possible to have a metric calculated simply as 'total emissions / units sold'?
Every time i got excited about OCaml and every time I tried, I was overwhelmed by syntax, and the fact that there is no type annotations.

very much relies on where you live. For instance if you live near the coast in southern parts of Norway and go for a hike you should allways check for ticks afterwards. I usually just take a shower as soon as I get back home to make sure i get them off before they bite.

It is not uncommon to find multiple ticks on your clothes if you have been walking in tall grass. But they usually take quite a while before they find a spot to bite. So if you take some precautions it is not a big problem.
Not just a rumor. If you speak the right incantations at the counter, invoking the relevant legal reference, a bank in Germay will be obliged to give you a "basic bank account" with no credit facilities of any kind. There's also nothing stopping them from making that bank account the least attractive bank account you've ever heard of by charging insanely high fees and prohibiting you from using the regular ATM network, restricting you to just a few machines in a restricted geographical area.

Fully will back you up on this. One does not have to be a metallurgist to be the best welder. In fact, your metallurgist might get a bit too clever playing with alloys when they need to focus more on getting the weld clean.

It’s also really downplaying how much one can learn when they need it for an application - yes it’s true you have to know about something to go after learning it, but there’s nothing stopping someone picking up a book when they get stuck to learn about what they don’t yet know.

Much of a CS course is nice to have knowledge for many programmers, and can be plenty beneficial. But a CS degree is there to show you theory not teach you how to program - the amount of people with degrees that are very poor at even basic programming is not as low as you’d think.

For me they just destroyed their brand image. They have just shown, just like PayPal some years ago that they can terminate service based on phylosophical issues. I have nothing against them collaborating with law enforcement when there is a warrant, but cutting payments to arbitrary entities just because they believe that those entities are responsible for CP is overreaching. Do they cut payments also to Hollwood studios because they promote violence ? Or to Blackwater because of what they do in conflict zones ?
