Southern France is south of the Alps, though.

The Mediterranean climate is very different from what you get in Central Europe, or (worse, as far as rain goes) the UK and Ireland.

"Caelum crebris imbribus ac nebulis foedum; asperitas frigorum abest" – "The sky is obscured by constant rain and cold, but it never gets bitterly cold."

(Tacitus about Britain in 98 AD. Not much has changed.)

I personally like the weather on the southern slopes of the Alps the most. Southern Austria, South Tyrol, Slovenia. Pleasant enough to be almost-Mediterranean, but not scorching hot in the summer and still retaining four distinct seasons.

If you like such weather, places like Trieste or Ljubljana can be fairly welcoming and with low cost of living, though you need to forget about Silicon Valley levels of compensation.
Others already mentioned chat etc and I would like to just add, Bloomberg is one of the largest electronic trading platform for certain financial products/markets (e.g. many types of swaps)
There's no such thing as an average. Dividing sums isn't real.

We can't even measure what attracts the attention of people. We can't track their eyes. We haven't been improving our techniques for catching someones attention and focus for the last decades+. We don't try to keep people hooked to our websites by making sure they stay engaged. FarmVille is a only a myth, too. "Endless scrolling" doesn't actually exist either.

Chatbots on websites, which try to engage you in a conversation within seconds of inactivity, don't actually do so to keep your attention on the site.

Man ...

If all your understanding is based solely on data other people have gathered, then you not only are completely unaware of all the potential data that hasn't been gathered yet, you also have only very little understanding of pretty much anything out there.
This reality was intentionally engineered so that ghouls like Devos can make their millions and billions in the inevitable privatization
It seems that the retail traders are doing better than the institutional types, so the "fix" is to hamstring the retail folks to maintain the status-quo, and make it look like they're doing a favor for retail by acting deeply concerned.
It's never that simple :)

I'm not sure what you mean by that, the GPL only has constraints for redistribution. If you don't distribute anything (publicly or not), there is no way to break the GPL.

I never said that. And I never said that every GPU is incompatible with Linux.
Thanks for the feedback. We built this primarily for people who will use it to make informed trades, not plug it into code.

That said, we willl have Excel integration upon launch, and will be adding API accessibility over time.

Refinitiv is a good option if you feel the $12,500 cost per year makes sense for you. We're building this for people for whom it doesn't.
"broken windows policing" is when you claim to do the stuff in the article, but actually just harass residents.
"our goal is to have 100 percent accurate data, 100 percent of the time."

Good to have a goal... how are you verifying to know you reached that goal?

Reality check: if there are humans involved in any part of the process then that goal is not possible.

Are there metrics on data validation that would be more meaningful and not exceed your budgets?

Sure, but you can group and subdivide cultures however you like. There are subcultures within subcultures, yet at the same time there is a broadly American culture and maybe a broadly Western one, etc. Like species, there's no precise test for a unit of culture, it's just different zoom levels... each level of grouping or subdivision has its uses.

Relative to other national identities I've had experience with, I believe that Americans in particular are quite obsessed with aesthetics, everything from hair color to deodorants to artificially aligning and whitening teeth, to identifying with musical subgenres as a method of personal belonging and appearance. If there is no American culture then there is no Americana, which I don't believe, and would be a great loss to the cultural richness of the modern era... everything from Blues to bluegrass to Blue's Clues to blue jeans.

American culture has a richness that's hard to appreciate or even recognize these days, when it's so embroiled in modern culture wars, but it's definitely there and definitely distinct from, say, Japanese culture of the postwar years or 1800s France.

"This site is currently unavailable to visitors from the European Economic Area while we work to ensure your data is protected in accordance with applicable EU laws."

Translation: "We can't put an article online without cramming it with cookies, analytics and other annoyances that serve no other purpose than profiling users; we actually don't want to protect your data, but they caught us with the pants down and enacted laws to prevent all this, so we'd rather block access from the EU than do the right thing, that is, protecting your data by removing that junk."
I think Procida initially created this as part of their work with Divio and then forked it to the Diataxis site. The Divio site was definitely around before Diataxis and the Divio site was where these ideas originally gained a lot of popularity.
Looking at it, it appears to cover only equities and ignores all other financial products, which renders the "90%" claim risible. To claim that a good example of the other 10% is the location of oil tankers is either deliberately misleading or highly misinformed.

I don't doubt you've put some effort into making a good platform, but anyone can make a deal with some exchanges to get their trade feed.

Fixed Income products are Bloomberg's main strength, and in that world there are no shortcuts - you have to get as many bond traders as possible to send you their pricing. Bloomberg prices millions of fixed income products based on thousands of sources. Not to mention that a lot of the bond trading itself happens via the Bloomberg messagaing system.
Why do you think this is a valid argument? Are you saying there are no junior devs working on databases, kernels, drivers? What evidence do you propose to back up that astounding claim?
> > 60k is just a bit more expensive than your average car

> If by "A bit" you mean about 30-40k

30k more expensive: Than your very-low-end-"average" car.

40k more expensive: Than your average used car.

AFAICS. All in what one sees as an "average" car, I suppose.
This is my experience with every “Linux works on…” post. It’s always caveated down to an unreasonable definition of working.
Where did you learn the material for your PMP cert? There are so, so many courses out there advertising PM training; not sure how to filter.
I think a lot of it comes down to how these things are trained. You can predict a word, and then easily calculate whether it's right or wrong. So it makes it easy to design loss functions around "word things". It's a lot harder to design loss functions around the complex intricacies of word combinations -- whether or not the network correctly predicts the sentence's meaning is much harder to calculation than whether or not it can predict a certain word. For me, the surprise is that so much sophistication pops out after training purely at the word level. However, I guess it's not surprising to find some limitations to that.

But if we did have a way to calculate loss directly on sentence meaning, then you could train a much more intelligent pooling function. In principle. I'm just not sure how that loss function would look. Maybe question answering tasks are part of the key.
> Community improvement should be the focus of policing efforts.

Why drag police into this? The basic problem with policing is sending in strangers with guns to do social work. The PD isn't the only city agency.
So nothing about the selling of stock they didn't own etc? That was one of the problems if I remember correctly.

I wonder when the stock market is going to adapt some of cryptos tech, so that you can store your stock on your own PC instead of an exchange, like the paper versions.
This isn’t 90% of Bloomberg at all. Bloombergs value is provided through combining the data for you, and getting you that data the instant it’s published. There’s also value in the network effects via chat and Craigslist like marketplace for traders.
This is a really weird comment. I feel like you are trying to make a strawman, but it just looks like a pile of hay.

so many developers here believe [...] their code is extremely valuable, and should never be found in the hands of another person

Usually they are fine with other people reading or using the code, so long as proper attribution is given or derivative works have similar terms. Which is not happening in this case.

The Amazon solution is newer and less widely used or advertised. Presumably all of the arguments about Copilot refer to the Amazon version.
The reflog is very helpful but I don't think it counts as an "undo". Some operations (like git add or git push) won't show up in the reflog.

Even the operations which do show will often require more thought to undo than a hypothetical "git undo" would. I know how to use the reflog but I often go out of my way to avoid it because "git branch tmp HEAD; git $POSSIBLE_MISTAKE; git reset ---hard tmp; git branch -D tmp" requires less effort than deciphering the reflog's output.
Woah! That seems like a big deal! Cool find, thank you.
Mine too but I was always wondering why haven't the main character mind been used by scientist to improving method used in book?
> The key point to understand about Bloomberg is that it’s both a software product and a social network. The software product determined who would join the network, but the network is what keeps users there. It’s like a multiplayer video game, or Harvard: Sure, the quests and campus are useful, but people keep showing up because of the friends they’ve made or the connections they intend to make.

1 - The alternatives mostly suck.

2 - The terminal isn't that expensive for folks that actually need it.

3 - Trading securities in most countries / professional institutions involves coordination of many parties. Their chat solves that in a very convenient way, globally.

4 - The terminal does a mind boggling amount of stuff, really. Every year someone claims they're launching a BBG killer with public SEC data, I can't even.
Ok well if you have a permissive license, then I guess the fair use won't even need to adjudicated.

It may not have sounded like it but I'm actually going to agree with some of this. We might be on a different part of the gradient so to speak. Maybe you can find a good analogy but at least from my point of view the gearbox analogy is falling short now and we'd need a different one or look at git commands one by one :)

Like you say, you can just remember those things. In fact 4 out of those 6 were taught in driving school and you had to remember them. One I only learned because trucks still needed that (double clutching while shifting - not just your case, just in general) but cars didn't when I learned. I personally don't like copy and pasting commands like that but I see a lot of people doing that even for stuff that should be second nature because you need it all the time. I think - to stay in the analogy - for me this is the difference between knowing that I should engine break and how to do it when I want to slow down vs. having a piece of paper in the glove compartment that I pull out and check for what to do and how every time I approach a red light ;)

I'm also someone that likes to get an understanding of the things that I use and do every day. The thing is that there are so many things we use and do all the time that I think (almost) everyone just has to keep a certain level of abstraction away from many things, because there are just so many rabbit holes out there and it's not beneficial for most people to have explored every single rabbit hole all the way to the end (the 'gradient'). Git commit graphs are a DAG and lots of cool things can be done with DAGs, most of which I totally forgot about since I learned about and enjoyed them in university and have never needed them again at that level. It's good to know they exist and be able to dig in when needed/wanted.
What if I train a model on one snippet of code, and it always produces that snippet of code for all inputs? If I did not have a license to use that code, would laundering it through a model absolve me of violating the license?
Is it better to get a Tech Co-founder before Seed round or after?
Hi HN: Leonard Here from Toodley Company www.Toodley.com. We (My co-founder and I) are building the "Airbnb of Experiential Learning" with a vision to Bring Family and Friends together to Collect Moments & Memories.

We do this by connecting talented instructors and people for live, in-person classes. We provide an easy way for friends and family to find something entertaining and educational to do together to make wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.

We have just raised Friends and family round and built the MVP ourselves. We have started getting initial traction and will be working on raising Seed Fund.

Questions:

1. Is it better to have a Tech co-founder now or wait for seed round and get a product lead as an employee?

2. What are the Pros and Cons of having a Tech Co-founder? (We are not software engineers so having a tech person in house is a plus)

3. If we get a Co-founder now - What % equity is fair? We can also give a pre-seed based salary.

4. What is the best way to find a Tech Co-founder?

Thanks Leonard
ebpf used in this way is typically nonblocking. it drops data instead of blocking. for a firewall, that’s potentially bad.

Show HN: Product Analytics in SQL with dbt
Hey everyone!

Like many data analysts and engineers, I love SQL and the dbt ecosystem. So it bothers me that we have to use separate tools for product analytics. We do our transformations, BI work, and ad-hoc queries in SQL, but when it's time to look at funnels and flows, we have to use (and procure) a separate platform like Mixpanel or Amplitude.

This dbt package is a (very rough) start at fixing that. With it, you can create event streams and run funnel analyses via dbt[0]. More features like flows and retention are coming soon!

But I'm mostly curious how you all are doing product analytics right now. Are you using a dedicated tool like Amplitude? What could be better? Do you want to do product analytics in SQL in the warehouse or would you rather it live somewhere else?

Would love to get your thoughts, and thanks for taking a look!

IMO I think the fact that the numbers are so low shows that people should stop giving a shit about death by guns by civilians. I wish humanity put as much focus about the obesity & diabetes crisis, car deaths, slipping in the bathtub, murder by government policy and war than they did about guns. Guns are flashy, but infinitesimal compared to the actual causes of early death.

The dirty secret of gun control policies is they do not much at all. Gun control policies that reduce actual human death are mostly about impulsive suicide prevention, and if you get rid of the guns, I'm guessing a substitution effect would start happening anyway. When you really dig into it, most non-government caused gun death comes from mental health issues, economic inequality, organized crime shootouts and suicide, and those things are not solved by making guns harder to get, beyond some suicide impulse prevention.

I don't have trouble typing but I do have trouble trying to type for a long period of time on a standard laptop keyboard because it tends to cause flare ups in my hands, the whole reason I switched to an ergonomic keyboard (in my case a Kinesis Advantage 2).

I do wish there was a better option available on keyboards but alas the market is quite niche. Separating the keyboard from the laptop seems to be the only realistic option for people with those needs.

A friend of mine moved to US on L1, with his wife. It took them 5 years before the wife got EAD (work permit). It is possible that they fucked the process up, and it can be done faster, just wanted to mention it here.
Some texas-style rigmarole.

I'm genuinely asking as I'm not an attorney.

My guess would be something like give each citizens in __ state the power to sue __ for assisting someone to commit a "murder" or "crime of life," whatever insane definition they put into law.

Making "civil suits by private citizens the exclusive avenue of enforcement."

And grants a bounty to encourage this.

Further placing 100% of the burden on the person being sued to prove their innocence (and pay legal fees); doesn't matter the uber driver was just dropping someone off at the airport. Whereas the state would have to prove the crime.

it's the threat, the time, the money, and the inconvenience which creates the deterrence & fear that they want.

No matter how baseless it might be, this whole 'gotcha' is that the Supreme Court won't intervene because - and this is where legal understanding could have nuances - each victim is unique (person being sued civily), and that the relief would be from unique individuals and not the state. SCOTUS "ruling that the providers could not bring suit against the classes of state judges and clerks or the state Attorney General"
They almost certainly don't have messaging (with most investors), which is a huge reason (and facilitator) of direct trades, so I don't see how they can get around this unless Bloomberg and Refinitiv have open APIs for this.

Why I'm making my latest product open-source
I've started eating barley a couple of times a week, which is used primarily as an animal grain. I've found it makes a great alternative to rice or quinoa.

From Wikipedia:

> Globally 70% of barley production is used as animal fodder,[4] while 30% as a source of fermentable material for beer and certain distilled beverages, and as a component of various foods. It is used in soups and stews, and in barley bread of various cultures. Barley grains are commonly made into malt in a traditional and ancient method of preparation.
Respectfully, you are making very bold claims about your coverage of Bloomberg data and it seems like you don’t have a handle on the actual scope of what data Bloomberg provides.

From a brief review of your website it seems like you have less than 1% of the data that Bloomberg provides on their terminal. Maybe I’m wrong about that, but…

I used to do computer work for an upstart carpet cleaning solution company. They made bold claims about their product vs the established competitor. Five years later my customer still had copies of the checks they had to write to the established competitor as settlement of false advertising accusations hanging framed on their wall. The lawsuit and the settlement almost drove them out of business.
People complain about Gnome devs removing features they don't like or don't use since at least Gnome 2, long before Gnome 3 and its mobile-like interface.

So it is not about people using mobile touch screens or even about popularity.
No, it’s all derivative. The main innovations center around fraud and crime and exploring human gullibility, not computer science.
> this is more like 1% of the data for 5% of the cost

And quality of data is unknown.
If they collect if from some other low price providers, data quality can also be low.
I am European, I have stayed in the US many times and I think some parts of Europe have more racial problems than the US. For example, I have some Asian friends who used to work with me in Scandinavia and moved to the East Coast as they felt like second class citizens.

Another big problem in Europe is the way talent is valued. It is much more important to have good connections and to belong to the upper class. Simply compare the salaries between engineers here and there. Only management gets a good compensation. This explains why innovation is somewhat stifled.

Things are changing and there are some exceptions. For example, Switzerland shares many of the desirable traits of EU and US, but few of their issues. Stockholm and Berlin have nice startup scenes, and so on. However, the rate of change has slowed down dramatically due to COVID, the housing bubble and inflation rates.
> In ten years I never got hardware that runs 100% on Linux.

You've never used XPS 13 Developer's Edition. It ships with Ubuntu. The hardware runs 100% on Linux.

I even checked with the intel GPU command that measures whether it's actually using accelerated video. Everything works on Firefox and Chromium. Well, except those Reddit videos that use the web blob API, but those seem to buffer and screw up on every OS I've ever used.
The situation I'm describing is with vsync enabled. This problem is not solved by vsync and mostly goes away if you turn vsync off, since then it acts more like mailbox present mode at the expense of 100% utilization. Vsync solves tearing.
AGPL is the most aggressive copyleft license available, but even that can't stop a well funded tech giant from taking whatever they want. You need to use AGPL, and retain a well-researched legal team.
Exactly. Specialist wait times in Canada are often exaggerated by special interest groups.

A few years ago, my family doctor noticed something concerning. I was seen by a specialist within a week, and was in the operating room a few days later. It was a potentially serious situation but not immediately life-threatening, yet I still received fast and efficient treatment.

There are longer wait times for high-demand procedures affecting 'quality of life', but that is the nature of triage.

The important part is that the whole episode cost me nothing more than a few sleepless nights, while a friend in the US who went through a similar process and spent a similar time waiting for surgery ended up with substantial medical debt.
