Ask HN:Incorporate in Delaware as bootstrapper in Europe or switch later?
We're a remote team of two in Europe. Currently bootstrapping. Should we incorporate in Delaware? In our countries it's not as startup friendly, so we're thinking of using something like Clerky and go to the US. Alternatively, we thought to use UK as it's closer and it seems simpler. We might raise later but want to stay bootstrapped for a while before taking on funding. Now, we need a structure and don't want to mess things up early. Has anyone here made a decision to incorporate in the US as a bootstrapper early on? Or chosen the UK? I'd appreciate any guidance especially from a perspective as a European founder building a global tech company.

EDIT: I think blood sample is the wrong term, what I mean is blood count/work, where they take quite a bit of blood out of your arm. Not the small tests where they prick a finger.

> I hope you are able to overcome your aversion

Yeah, I hope so too. Thanks for the empathy. I've actually overcome my fear of vaccines. I can't sleep that well the night before and I'm still sweaty and stressed, but I know that it will just hurt a tiny little bit.

Giving blood samples is actually the big issue. I've had two of those as a kid, both times I became unconscious and once I had to throw up. Also had general anesthesia three times as a kid, I guess these five times where a needle had to go into my arm just traumatised me in some way. I hate the pain it gives me and the whole experience just really stresses my out. I'm actually getting sweaty palms right now, just because I'm writing/thinking about it :D

I recently went to the doctor because I started getting migraines. Doctor recommended me going to a Neurologist and mentioned that they would probably have to take blood samples, which was the reason that I refused. I just couldn't handle the thought of having to do it again.

The last blood sample I had to do was as a young teenager, like 10 years ago. I know that you should frequently test your blood to spot deficiencies, but I'm simply too scared...a bit embarassing to be honest. I've actually considered asking them to just give me nitrous oxide so that they can do it while I'm unconscious :D But I think nitrous oxide is an american thing, never heard of someone getting it where I live.

Anyways, no real sense to what I wrote, I just felt like documenting my thoughts about this situation. Actually feel quite queasy now. Time for some fresh air.

This guideline has been revised in 2020.

> Apple updated its App Store guidelines today with a change to its traditionally strict restrictions around push notifications. Apple has long banned apps from using notifications for “advertising, promotions, or direct marketing purposes,” but that changes today. Apps can now send marketing notifications when “customers have explicitly opted in to receive them.” Users must also be able to opt out of receiving the ads.

> The change follows a couple incidents over the past two years in which Apple bent its own rules by sending out push notifications that read a lot like ads. Since other companies’ apps could be banned or have their push notification privileges revoked for that behavior, the moves were criticized as another example of Apple getting away with special treatment because it controls the platform.

Yikes, how many are artists replaced by LLMs?
Not really. If I write a series of stories about Herlock Solmes and his friend Dr. Wohn Jatson and everything maps up one-to-one with the Sherlock stories, it's pretty clear I copied them even if I changed the names. Or to give a real example, consider the famous silent movie "Nosferatu". While it was theoretically about a vampire named Count Orlock being visited at his castle by a lawyer named Thomas Hutter and how Orlock ends up moving to Hutter's city and attacking his family, it is pretty obviously the story of Count Dracula and Jonathan Harker, and the widow of Dracula's author sued the makers over it.

Kia EV6. (the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Ioniq 6 are built on the same platform and have the same advantages)

It has about the same range as a Model 3 and the fastest charging rate you can get. It has features the Model 3 lacks, like Car Play, 3D park assist, and V2L, and ventilated seats (last one was only offered on the Model 3 this year).
The problem with English is that it isn't really a single language but a mashup of Latin/French/German/Scandinavian due to the number of invasions and each invader not really covering the whole country.

A simple way to demonstrate this is how we ended up with cities that have massively different pronunciation even though the spelling is similar.

I used the 3m filter mask biking in the wildfire smoke a while ago. There is a blowout hole, which makes it much easier to get stale air out. The sport-specifc one from MEC made it hard to get fresh air when biking up hill.

I used the air warmer mask during this last cold snap. It made it so much more comfortable! Last year I was fine biking in the cold snap, except for one time biking up a hill. Actually breathing hard, I got a lot more cold air in my lungs, and ended up with a cough for a week. Wanted to avoid that this year.
> For example, the tests showed that when you interact with a notification from Facebook, the app collects IP addresses, the number of milliseconds since your phone was restarted, the amount of free memory space on your phone, and a host of other details.

I feel like "...when you interact..." is a very key part of this. If I understand it correctly, that to me really makes the headline seem less bad. So if you just delete the notification and never tap it, do they not get any data? That part is unclear but very important to this context.

I’m glad the author finds enjoyment in that kind of adventure but after 10 minutes my brain would be wishing for a mountain bike trail to ride down, a rocky outcrop to climb, or simply some sun and blue sky.
That’s the impression I get too, and it seems to boil down to two things:

1. Does the paper hold up to scrutiny by people who understand the subject matter? (Including: Are the facts represented truthfully, is it free from bias, do the calculations and charts actually represent the data, is the experiment viable)

2. Can the results be reproduced by a totally unrelated (and unbiased) team?

And it feels like we’re at an excellent time in history where we can handle #1 through collaborative technologies (even a wiki), and 2 can be done better by encouraging those other scientific teams to publishing results along side the first. Am I off-base?

In the US we also have the largest park system that is quite cheap/free. Not every area is covered with parks, but there are enough green spaces within a short distance (less than 1 hour) that exploring should be possible. Further, a lot of people will let you go on their land if you ask them and are polite about your time on their land. Regardless- I agree that we do not have it as fun as they do in the UK and some other areas that treat land like they do.

Right but that’s not how SQl executes unfortunately. You go to Starbucks then ask for what you need. SQL does a Cartesian product of all the tables you need, then filters with the ON clause. Only then can you “order” what you want in SELECT.

In standard SQL syntax you’re essentially asking for what you want at your house then driving to a Starbucks.

More readable but doesn’t follow the execution order at all.
I'm curious if it is standard practice to name space-related-entities in English ("Smart Lander for Investigating Moon, or SLIM"), if this is a translation and in Japan they call it something different, or why the named it in English in case this is an exceptional case.

I think the idea is that a "good" person can still have a (small) rate of criminality. If you kill after one crime you'll kill many good people, if you do so after 2 you'll still kill good people. But the odds of a good person committing 3 crimes are low enough to go for it.
Quick web search indicates that Activision Blizzard was 13,000 before MS bought them and Zenimax was 2,300. I have no idea how they split that layoff up, but 1,900 of ~15,300 (or 12.4%) is more accurate.
Growing up in Iceland[1] I learned to breathe in through my mouth, out the nose, with the chin tucked into my collar.

Some apps provide genuinely useful notifications (like shipping updates), but also send spammy notifications that are just ads.
I grew up with no real sense of "home." I think probably because of that, traveling was never exciting for me. I did it. I spent months bouncing around various places, but it didn't feel like anything unusual to me. Each was just one more new place.

It wasn't until I turned 30 and abruptly made a decision to pick somewhere and stay there that I found the kind of satisfaction it seems like most people get from traveling. It's not challenging for me to adapt to new situations and experiences. It's challenging for me to navigate the depth of experience of the same people and the same places, day in and day out. It's especially challenging for me to face the depth of myself that I have encountered since deciding to put down roots.

It's a lot less glamorous to invest my time into trying to understand and solve local problems with local people than it would be to create highlight reels of exotic locations, but I feel like I'm growing more this way than I would otherwise.

It makes me think whichever type of experience you didn't grow up with might be the challenge you need as an adult. If you grew up with all the challenges of a small town people rarely leave and where everybody knows you, maybe you need the challenge of new places where nothing is familiar and you have to start all your encounters from scratch.

But if you didn't "belong" anywhere as a kid, maybe what you need to develop in adulthood is the opposite.

Except every time you add someone new, it slips back to a prior state - and every time the group gets bigger, it takes longer to ‘settle’.

Eventually, roles/ownership/structure. needs to be codified, or the group never ends up actually performing - and if not done right, that won’t happen even with that.
FROM is not a command, it's a parameter, and an optional one at that.

This is valid SQL.

SELECT 1;

The SQL commands are SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, etc. Therefore, those commands should be the first thing in an instruction. If you have a file full of SQL, you probably want all the lines to start with those commands. Gonna be pretty weird to read if you have both SELECT and UPDATE lines that start with FROM. Probably difficult for the parser also. Even hairier when it comes to subqueries.

I do however, strongly agree that the most common scenario for user workflow is to choose tables first, then choose columns from those tables. I don't know if changing the language is really the answer. Intelligent tooling can and does already solve this. What I typically do is start all my queries by selecting *, then I go back and fill in the columns last.
Note that cooling is not independent of CPU power draw. (The more CPU power draw, the more heat is released that needs to be removed by cooling. The more power a CPU draws, the more heat is dissipated as waste in the power supply. If I'm following your math estimates, you're treating cooling and non-CPU as if was fixed.)
> were part of these organized groups

I could also see that people performing the crime might be unhoused, what are they going to do with 20 blenders they just stole? They will go to some organized group and sell the loot for some cash.

So on paper it doesn’t appear organized in practice it’s sort of is. If there is no one buying the 20 blenders, it’s not worth bothering jumping on a train for them.

It's not really true for any other programming language. If I'm an expert in Java 8, I can build and ship a product using it. I don't need to be up-to-date in my knowledge of Java 17. Same holds for almost every language.

Javascript is an exception because you don't get to decide which version to deploy, so you have to constantly be keeping up with it.

> As a result journalism — sports or otherwise — is steadily being replaced by a parade of automated gibberish, clickbait, well-funded propaganda, and marketing, and it’s getting increasingly difficult to find anybody with the ethics and resources interested in reversing — or even combating — the trajectory.

Journalists love to paint themselves as noble victims of technology, as if they bear no responsibility for the polarization and resulting erosion of public trust in authority. Sports journalists where especially guilty of cultivating cozy relationships with their subjects (access journalism), pushing their own pre determined narratives, and blurring the lines between reporting and opinion. It's not hard to understand why people have turned to other sources.
