That's clearly not true. To take just one example, US states all exempt small businesses from dealing with sales tax until they cross a threshold even for foreign businesses. EU does not meaning that if you make even one single sale of even a very cheap thing to a single German or Spanish, you are expected to actually fill out VAT returns in Germany and Spain, regardless of where your company is actually located. Of course this is impossible as they are all in languages you don't speak at minimum, so some countries provide what they call a "mini one stop shop" where for a fee the local government will fill out the tax returns for you. But not everyone selling to Europe has access to such "MOSS" offices, and naturally they don't work for free.

There are also insane rules for working out which country gets to claim a sale. Including for example what to do in cases like someone buying something whilst on a boat.

Obvious solutions like thresholding are not interesting to the EU. Brussels doesn't really care about startups and sees them as a curiosity. If they can extract another few billion from Google or Amazon at the cost of sacrificing millions of startups-to-be across the continent, they will do it in an eyeblink.
Hey folks, the author of the gem is here.

Thank you for all your feedback. I value it a lot!

First off, I have changed the API-only bullet point. I wanted it to be short and clear. I didn't mean to sound arrogant. Sorry for that.

Second, I'm working on a guide explaining how to use the framework alongside an existing Rails project. So stay tuned!
In this case more important than any runtime overflow/underflow checks is the fact that the compiler will check that comparison operands are of the same type instead of inserting an implicit cast. Instead the programmer is forced to insert an explicit conversion like .try_into().unwrap(), which clearly suggests the possibility of an error. And if the error isn't handled, it will panic.

A pulse of wave is a superposition of steady-state waves. Group velocity, phase velocity and dispersion relation have one-to-one correspondence.

I agree that the phase-kick classical model is a very simplified material model, which probably breaks down in certain ways. But it does yield a dispersion relation, therefore both phase and group velocities.
> On this matter, it is especially interesting to look at Go.

I absolutely love that it's becoming widely noticed. Go is basically Pascal with nice concurrency and a gc.

I guess Go authors don't want to openly admit it for fear of bad association (I refuse to believe they just reinvented Pascal independently, not that they couldn't, but it'd be a waste of time). Pascal was ridiculed back in the day for... lack of curly braces, as far as I can tell?

It's 30%. It's only 15% after 12 months of a customer rebilling which is statistically insignificant number, and it was only done as a carefully orchestrated PR move to make people think 15% when it's really 30 - as you have demonstrated
Or you can make do with 15mm-apart worth of "around"?

It's still more "spatial"/3D than a regular (single lens) image.

Plus this has a wide lens and a "regular" lens (actually both wide iirc but one is ultrawide), so it's not like 2 equal lenses 50mm apart like in regular stereoscopic "3d" video.
They are not.

And his best fiction sucks.

I'm tired that everybody is pretending that many of the great classic are any good today. It's like people eating dried days old cake, but because it comes from a great chef, they can't honestly form an opinion about it and will just praise it.

At the time, given the lack of offer and the standards they had, sure, the books were great.

But I had to read a Flaubert's as part of my French education. From today's perspective, it's boring, it's not insightful and the style is excruciatingly dated.

Same with Victor Hugo, Jules Verne, Jule Vales, Rousseau...

Sure, you have jewels that still hold very well after so many years, like Dumas or Rostand.

But otherwise, we are stuck in the past, advising young readers to dive into things because of the inertia of their reputation rather than their real qualities.

There are better things in the ancien Greek literature to read if you want more profound wisdom, better social critics in 60-80' sci-fy, and more deep and developed characters in many new york times best sellers.

Or if you really want to read French, there are Lanzmann, Pennac, Nothomb...

Not to mention we have way more than books today. Hell, there are TV shows that give you more in a few scenes than entire books of this guy.

And video games that will create more lasting impact in a few minutes of gameplay than old Gustave.

Plus if we stay in French, the field of bandes dessinées will cover a vast range of emotional and philosophical fields by the time Flaubert takes to tell you something died of pneumonia. Again.

Google is in this case less developer friendly. They made secret deals with Spotify (0% fees when using Spotify billing, 4% when using Play Store billing), but it took lawsuits for normal devs to only have to pay 15% on the first million.

I'll just repeat my usual comment when it comes to Amazons profitability: They had 7 (!) loss making quarters since 2009, mostly in Q3 (as always, duu to the inventory build-up for Q4) and was profitable at a yearly basis.

This whole "Amazon was nevwr profitable" meme really has to die. Especially since they were cash positive all the time*...
If someone is very much not ready "to become re-integrated into society" then they can't be independently entrusted with a house (because they'll screw up life for others around them and the house itself with various asocial and illegal acts), that "safe place to sleep" has to be in an institution controlled by others with some enforced rules - until they become capable of following the rules on their own, which generally requires treating the addiction, and is the point when they can become re-integrated into society.
Back in the day (90:ies) a colleague at the ISP I was working at (small time dial up business) told me that the one site on the Internet you could count on always being up was playboy.com. Therefore, it was our standard "check if Internet is working" site. In the event that it was a DNS issue, it was also best to memorize its IP.

For some reason, knowing the IP number of playboy.com by heart was not a skill I bragged about a lot :P

These days it's 1.1. Easier both to remember and type than anything else.
This aspect of the discussion truly baffles me. It's like there's noone but the drug users to consider. Oh, do the addicts get enough treatment? Ah, they want to camp next to a school because they find more 'shelter' from the rain there? No problemo!

>In one example, taken from page 12 of Gay's dissertation, Rufo points out the now-Harvard president seemingly "lifts an entire paragraph" from a 1990 paper by Lawrence Bobo and Franklin Gilliam.

Appearing in Bobo and Gilliam's original paper, published seven years before Gay wrote her thesis, is the phrase "blacks in high-black-empowerment areas–as indicated by control of the mayor's office–are more active than either blacks living in low-empowerment areas or their white counterparts of comparable socioeconomic status."

Then in Gay's paper she writes "African-Americans in 'high black-empowerment' areas–as indicated by control of the mayor's office — are more active than either African-Americans in low empowerment areas or their white counterparts of comparable socioeconomic status."
Actually there was just recently a black Friday deal on the iPhone SE 3rd gen (old design, but modern internals) for $99 on Straight Talk. ST isn’t the cheapest MVNO, but I believe they’re only locked to ST for 90 days or so then you can switch to whichever one you want, including $10/mo ones.
I feel that this submission is missing an year in parenthesis. Some articles seems that their latest info is from 2011 (Delphi 7 on Win 8, nothing about the XE phase that started then), others from 2015.

Or is it all piggy backing of the big producers like Germany that the Euro is kept strong?

What is the incentive for European countries to product more if someone else is doing it for them?

Well the main reason I made this is to get ChatGPT to number messages so I could refer to one or a range when asking it to revise or use a message to make a later message. That’s the biggest benefit on a practical level. But then I started making more commands and functions for many useful things. Like for example if I want to expand a message to make it longer and more verbose several times, instead of typing that prompt several times I can just type one line of //N syntax and it does it. Many other useful tricks can be done. Try the //?? Command to see it generate 20 examples.
Both Karpathy and fast.ai are good resources. Karpathy is "bottom up" (start from first principles and build on it) while fast.ai is "top down" (you start w/ working examples and gradually "peel off" to understand it).

Both approaches have merit, and it may come down to personal preferences.

> It is much less about “some academic or pundit giving you a steady stream of their thoughts.”

I can't tell if he's being ironic. He is a pundit and academic, with a blog, and a Twitter account, right?

edit: I felt this amazing blog comment was worth sharing, it's a real rollercoaster ride in one paragraph:

> P.S. I find it ironic that the man simultaneously responsible for the Ukrainian states surviving the start of the war and who figured out that offensive warfare wouldn't work a month into the war, Elon Musk, was pilloried for trying to stop Zelensky from sending the flower of Ukrainian youth to die this summer.

Is this the news you learn from Twitter in real-time? You won't get any academics saying that Elon Musk single-handedly saved "the Ukraine states" (which is a weird phrasing?).

after my "Tuxedo computer" laptop is reaching its EOL (due to issues with the power-supply) I wanted to treat myself with something similar. Turns out that CLEVO supplies most of these vendors (System76, Tuxedo, etc). In fact system76 [1] "darter pro 9" seems equivalent to Clevo "NS50AU" model [2] - so getting coreboot to work is finally a reality. the only issue I have with system76 is that I'm unable to get it with an ISO keyboard. So ordering directly from CLEVO I hoped solves it.

Only downside that I'm now finding out the hard way, is that CLEVO is unresponsive wrt support questions. The machine has been paid in advance a while ago and was supposed to ship within 10 days. looking at their google reviews I'm not the only one who has this issue. Nobody picks up the phone, emails aren't answered etc. According to the reviews some simply don't get their goods at all and have to take legal action.

Show HN: Painboard – AI-powered customer feedback analysis, humans in control
Hi HN,

Excited to share with you what we've been building lately! We've observed a pressing issue that businesses regularly grapple with: they’re flooded with customer feedback — reviews, support tickets, etc. — yet the textual, semi-structured nature of this data makes it tough to dissect manually without substantial time investment.

While AI has stepped up as a promising solution, the subjective nature of interpreting this data can reduce the utility of AI-generated reports. Every business has its own angle – the unique metrics and perspectives that define how they see success. All too often, users need to manually extract snippets from these reports and edit them on their own, a process that’s neither scalable nor efficient.

That's where Painboard steps in, striking a balance between the expediency of AI analysis and the indispensable personal nuances of manual curation. Painboard harnesses the prowess of GPT-4 and cutting-edge NLP techniques to not only analyze but also offer a dynamic curation of insights - all within a familiar, Kanban-style board interface.

Imagine scrolling through columns and orderly stacks of cards, each representing unique "themes" distilled from raw data, backed by relevant metrics like customer count. Want to group things? Drag and drop. Find two themes too similar and want to merge them? Drag and drop.

Painboard isn't just about organizing data; it's about empowering you to interact with it. It mimics the human model of working with a team of people. You collaborate with it versus just completely outsource to it.

Well, enough talking. Please check out the website where you can find a video showing Painboard in action: https://usepainboard.com/

I'd appreciate any feedback or criticism. If you have some data that you'd like to analyze, we'd love to create a board for you too.
From 2018:

> Netflix stops offering in-app subscriptions for new and returning customers on iOS

https://www.theverge.com/2018/12/28/18159373/netflix-in-app-...

Apple allows companies that have a free app used to access subscription content to sell the subscriptions on their own website without giving Apple a cut.

Netflix used to allow you to pay though Apple to reduce the sales friction of needing to set up billing through the Netflix website, but they stopped letting users pay through Apple years ago.
An interesting effect could be to have more devices that don't have the Play Store by default, and Google providing sanctioned ways for the customer to add the Play Store as a choice.
So you're basically advocating for widespread rollback of civil rights, based on the examples you chose?
It's yet another device that needs regular charging. Don't we have enough of those already?
One of the big issues with severe disability is the stupidly low cap on assets to qualify for social programs (SS, Medicaid). It was set in the 70s at $2000 and hasn't been changed since.

This keeps people with severe disabilities out of the workforce more than anything else.
Sure, good luck with it, not everyone needs Unity, Unreal, Godot, Frostbite, CryEngine,...
While they carry almost the same name, Google Play Services are not the same as the Play Store, though. You can use the former without using the latter.

This reply sums up the EU's root cause problem in a nutshell: it is still a much more left wing and socialist culture than America. You can see it in the article, where the author is at pains to stress that he's definitely not one of those awful barbaric libertarians even as he lists the reasons that Europe is getting relatively poorer. He doesn't even remember to mention the stark differences in labor laws! It can also be seen in the prevalence of wealth or sometimes they're called solidarity taxes, which interact so badly with large startup valuations.

When something as basic as allowing company owners to control the size of their own workforce is immediately and mindlessly attacked as "exploitation", it is clear why Europe isn't going to catch up anytime soon to the USA. There isn't even a discussion of the tradeoffs here, it's just immediately cast in purely moral terms as an unmitigated evil.

And as someone who lives there, I worry that Europe's aggressive hostility towards US culture and business practices will eventually cause the US giants to stop hiring people here. It is already causing products to not launch. If you're a talented programmer then working for the Americans is far better than working for European companies, and so a part of why Europe struggles to create challenger startups is simply that big US firms hire all the best people at much higher salaries and much better conditions than European firms, ensuring they struggle to catch up. Unfortunately if the US firms go, we won't suddenly see Europe become Americanized, instead it will just go the same way as eastern Europe did in the 20th century and get progressively poorer whilst the appointed leadership tells themselves how moral and virtuous they are for "protecting" the workers against those terrible people to the west.

Back in the day (late 90s), I was heavily into the Marathon series and game engine. The trilogy box set came with a whole bunch of 3rd party levels, including one inspired by Myst. As Marathon was only one step up from Doom and (before getting open sourced and turning into Aleph One) had no actual scripting language, the level creator had to fake lots of things the hard way, one of which was by spawning NPCs to shoot at other NPCs, with weapons whose shots were marked as "can toggle switches" and some switches between shooters and their targets.

Yes. And nobody can handle their shit 100% of the time, so this is really quite a lot of people one or two mistakes away from being on the street. Many of whom you ignorantly count as "clean" friends or neighbors.
