A lot of comments here seem to only be focusing on the startup -> unicorn/corporate/big tech pipeline of eu/acc instead of also the solo/lifestyle/small/medium business side as well.

EU already has things like the OSS VAT scheme in the regard of making things easier for businesses across the union. More things like it to simplify admin for the rest of us is a good thing.
Good Advice!

To expand on the above, i think more generally kids should be taught Abstraction and how to map Concepts to Symbols which they can then manipulate based on defined rules. IIRC, Douglas Hofstadter's book GEB invents various "games" using symbols/rules to introduce Formal Systems.

I tried in Sublime. But settled on Zettlr which is designed for knowledge bases and academic writing: markdown, Zettelkasten, tags, directory structure, text search and bibtex - Jabref (or Zotero) integration - is useful too. Plus the map thing if that's your cup of tea though I find its usefulness limited.
I wonder what the cost of power to run these chips is. If the power cost ends up being large compared to the hardware cost, it could make sense to buy more chips and run them when power is cheap. They could become a large source of dispatchable demand.
The moral here seems to be that people will not switch to "the same but better/cheaper". As a consequence, being competitive does not work.

To what extent is this an indictment of capitalism and/or free market ideology?

The linked Thiel speech video is interesting. It says that the aim of a capitalist is not to compete, but to create a monopoly. This is starkly against the interests of the consumer, and we see the results of that today with the enshittification of modern tech.

Are we at a stage where the capitalist elites themselves are freely admitting that the system works for them and against the general public?
You can also feel things which don't exist, or not feel thing which exist, that's not really a basis for scientific discussions

Your eyes can't feel infrared yet they exist, and your eyes can be tricked into feeling movement when there is none (optical illusions)

I can find you people who feel the influence of Saturn on their mood...

I'm always wary of people using scientific lingo to "prove" their "feelings"; "flushing", "waves", "energy", "toxins", it's way too easy to fall into new age mumbo jumbo

I refuse to accept that the only way forward is to join the pointless rat race that ends up with the entire society being enslaved to a handful of megacorporations and their shareholders.

I don't want to live in that world, and I don't think most people do either. Yes, if we don't join them, there's a possibility that we might end up being enslaved to foreign megacorporations rather than domestic ones, but at least we'll have a chance to create something less dystopian instead.
Almost all EU countries have some ridesharing apps available in the cities. There are many apps though, and always only a couple of them compete in a particular country.

AFAIK it's the same with food delivery apps now. (Sometimes both the rides and the food delivery is done by the same company - e.g. Bolt.)

I don't think that is possible. Or at least I've never seen a definition that isn't self referntial or makes sense. Possibly I'm uneducated.
You have to understand that it happened in the context of Australia's history of Protestant-vs-Catholic religious sectarianism, which it inherited it from the UK and Ireland, and although by the 1960s and 1970s that was already fading (albeit still not yet completely dead), many alive then could remember earlier decades when it was much stronger. You also have to understand that, prior to World War II, the vast majority of Australia's Catholics were Irish, and so the religious tensions between the Protestant majority and the significant Catholic minority (>20%) often had overlaid on them ethnic/national tensions related to Ireland's fight for independence from the UK.

In the 19th century, Australia's colonial governments (which later became its state governments) provided public funding of private religious schools, both for the Protestant majority and the Catholic minority. In the second half of the 19th century, there was a big push for secular government education. Although that in itself might be seen as a religiously neutral idea, in practice it was something most Protestants were happy to support, the Catholic Church opposed. The result was that Australia ended up with a government school system which while officially religiously neutral, was de facto perceived by many as Protestant; most Catholics continued to send their children to Catholic schools, albeit now without any government support.

Not only did Catholic schools no longer have government funding, but the Catholic minority was on the whole less well-off than the Protestant majority. A big part of how Catholic schooling survived was the reliance on religious orders to provide teaching staff. However, by the 1960s, Australian Catholic schools were trying to deal with the post-war baby boom simultaneously with a crash in vocations to religious orders. Many Catholics were angry about the fact that their taxes paid for the education of Protestant children but not their own, while their own kids suffered from ballooning class sizes, overworked teachers and schools that were physically falling apart.

Much like in the US where Catholics traditionally supported the Democrats, Australian Catholics historically supported the centre-left Labor Party; the conservative side of politics was very Protestant. However, many Catholics were angry at the Labor Party for refusing Catholic demands for public funding for religious schools, despite relying on their vote to gain and remain in power; conservative Prime Minister Robert Menzies saw this as an opportunity to try to get Catholics to switch their political allegiance from the left to the right, so he went to the 1963 election with a policy of federal funding to construct science laboratories for all secondary schools without distinction (whether public or private, secular or religious), and he won, and the decision of many Catholics to switch sides played a big part in his victory. The Labor Party then realised that if they continued to oppose public funding of religious schools, they might lose the Catholic vote permanently, so they begrudgingly came around to supporting it too.

Depending on the product and the go to market strategy offering a free plan can allow users to try the product and then start to use it daily and eventually switch up to a paid plan.
As an example, Adobe offers a 60% for students and teachers: https://www.adobe.com/creativecloud/buy/students.html
Students tend to have little money and they would either use another free tool or pirate Adobe anyway. So offering the product for free to someone that can't afford it now might turn into profit later when they are used to your software and they convert to a paid plan.

Remember also that who you are (or even just the fact that you are) is in a very large part due to them.

You are also fully allowed to feel an unconditional gratitude (dare I say, love) towards them for simply existing, while accepting them as they are, as individuals, without owing each other anything, and regardless of what they have done or not done. It also takes some people way too long to realize this, and it can be a liberating feeling.
To be honest, it’s a bit of overkill. The protection afforded here is against creditors with poor technical expertise or perhaps a computer error.

Many stories of creditors auto withdrawing more than what was authorized. If a creditor was supposed to be paid $100, but somehow they withdrew $10,000.

I’ll be out of that money for an unspecified moment of time. By having a minimally funded bank account, that withdrawal attempt for $10K will get declined.

Unfortunately in USA, ACH (direct debit or credit) transactions do not have the same protections as debit or credit cards.

Ask HN: Potential investor wants to partner for equity
We are in an unusual situation where a potential angel investor wants to become a temp partner.
We are a pre-seed recruitment AI tech startup and he has been a CEO and director for the last decade in one of the biggest recruitment firms in the world.
He recently quit that job and now he is exploring things and would be willing to work with us for ~9 months. He would connect and sell the app to people in his network. He wants to help us grow quickly for about 9-12 months. Afterwards, he would be happy to step away and move on to something else.
For our next meeting, we would need to come up with some options/proposals for equity and expectations.

We are thinking that he could be a great asset in terms of credibility, and connections and help with bringing in other investors. He also wants to put some money and lead other angel investors.

What are some things that we should be wary of?
What should we consider before signing anything?
How not to get screwed here?
At least Penrose himself has an excuse for this: he's actually intellectually honest and came to this from a mathematics first purely theoretical perspective - he might have been deluded by others' trashy science, but he didn't go on to delude others.

It's funny that while it's great to also keep this perspective open as an interesting theoretical avenue, and Penrose is worth appreciating as a very original thinker... all the "evidence" for quantum consciousness theories is probably pure junk sci =)

You can't dump your parents that easilly when you're under 18, and at 5-9 the only other option is being placed into local authority care.
It really would be nice for all ISPs to provide /56 (or shorter) prefixes by default instead of /64's so that we could properly subnet our internal LANs without having to resort to "solutions" like NAT (or just sticking with IPv4-only forever).

Reviewing Changes [open source crash course] [video]
I'm interested to know how that makes one neurodivergent. I have the same aversion towards calendar entries, and I have yet to pinpoint what it is that creates this aversion. It's not necessarily that I don't like to do the actual event or task, it feels more like putting it in the calendar makes it official and I will force myself to do it because calendar and I hate to forfeit on things. This then leading to anxiety, what if I really don't want to do this now, or I'm unable to do it so I have to reschedule which triggers yet another confrontation with the dreaded calendar (finding a new entry).
> adding an off the shelf ORM layer creates so much more opacity and tech debt than writing queries I don't understand why anyone would willingly put one into their stack.

Simple: because if I don't, I'm going to spend the rest of my career explaining why I didn't to people extremely skeptical of that decision. Meanwhile even people like me tend to just shrug and quietly go "oh, an ORM? Well, that's the price of doing the job."

Also, ORMs are an endless source of well-paid jobs for people who actually learned relational algebra at some point in their lives, and that's not a compliment to ORMs.
> highly recommend that you don't read Wittgenstein,

I did read Wittgenstein. I still hold contempt in my heart to those aping his thoughts mindlessly.

> Asking questions that are very difficult to answer precisely and well, and then trying to do so, is kind of the whole deal with philosophy.

Yes. And declaring that things are impossible is not that. "If a lion could talk, we wouldn’t be able to understand it." is a feel. It's not the conclusion of a reasoned argument. (I'm talking about the sentence in the context it is found in the Philosophical Investigations of Wittgenstein)

> If your answer to "what does it mean to know things" or "how do we actually use words to navigate meaning" or "how well can we understand other living things" is "I don't care, that's nerd shit"

No. Those are all very interesting questions. But if you start with "understanding is impossible" then I hope you get a hug from a loved one. That stuff is hurt speaking. It is not a usefull starting point to answer any of those questions.
Even more important than the question of productivity is that this turns a joyous activity into a depressing probabilistic shitshow where you describe what you're trying to do and hope for the best. Instead of feeling engaged and challenged, you're just annoyed and frustrated. No thanks!
The argument that paying more taxes than you strictly have to is a "voluntary donations". If you can legally (ab)use loopholes in the tax code to pay less taxes and choose not to, that is an active choice you are making to pay more taxes than necessary. Furthermore you could even argue that as a company it's not even 'your' money, but your shareholder's, and as such you have a duty to them to pay as little tax as legally possible.
Indeed, if at all!

This is a company everyone knows but expects nothing from. It's institution at this point, barely makes anything.

Not making a riddle, there aren't codes here. No, this also isn't a code. I'd outright say the company name if I wanted to communicate it

They still likely make less than 20% of the revenue, maybe even less than 5%. They're not going to get rich off it. Besides, charging people isn't free, there are now much higher expectations and responsibilities on customer support.

In my experience, the customer that brings in the least money also makes up for most of the work. It's a larger percentage of their budget. For a Fortune 500, your fees could well be a rounding error. These small guys are also the ones who would go out and post bad reviews, demand the most features, demand the most uptime and the fastest response times.

The main thing I’d be wary of is the fact that 9-12 months is not a long time in the startup world. Are you sure you’re going to have product-market fit and have a mature enough product to actually sell in that time? There’s a reason why vesting schedules are ~4 years.

What happens when he leaves and suddenly your metrics plateau because he was the only one selling the platform? Is he going to bring in and train a revenue organization in that time too?

So pair it with mutation testing!
Anything you put elsewhere is not more secure, unless you are more secure than Apple's servers, which seems highly unlikely. If you don't have it, it can't get compromised.

The user has an iCloud account, you can write to iCloud storage without making them "sign in" to your app. It's their data, they can find it in the folder for your app in their iCloud drive on a Mac.

For sharing personality test, a person can do their own and their partner's, but for a better take on the partner you and your partner can each take your own test then generate a sharable fun code that captures the "bits" of the answers without repeating the test. As partners, you could tell each other the sharable code as a NFC bump or QR code to scan, or generate one of the word based codes like bitcoin wallet passwords.

See BIP39: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039.

Floating point arithmetic _is_ integer arithmetic on the cpu level because of how floating point numbers work.
It is fiendishly hard to disentangle cause from effect here. The sort of person to implement a dogfooded language is likely also the sort of person to care deeply about the quality of that language.

It may be that just being in a position to use the language a lot (because you're implementing it) and to change that language (because you're the one building it) is enough to get the effect you've observed, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if you would only start down that path in the first place if you already had strong opinions about what a good language looks like.

Show HN: Repofa.st – Collection of modern, coding boilerplates
Hey everyone,

This product was inspired by Marc Lou's project Ship Fast to help folks launch their startups quicker. I am developing a database with vetted boilerplates that will do the same (and for free!). Our goal is to maintain a high data quality bar for repositories that we allow on our site. If you find this useful (or have any feature requests), please let me know on twitter!

Best,

Keep in mind that figure came from someone whose idea of work is reading and responding to emails for a large period of the day.

My personal threshold is whether or not I need to make an ITIL description of what I'm doing. If I do, I'm reserving time for it.

If one's Calendar is so scheduled like the one seen in the picture in the article, one need re-think their life. I've also moved to Calendar quite a while back but my target is to have as much free time each day to push and pull things around.

No more dependent on tools but learn the ideas/patterns from a bunch of them. I still use the Native macOS Apps as my triad - Calendar, Notes, and Reminder.

I do have a running list, in plain-text (Markdown), of "May Do Them". I realize quite a lot of them falls of or gets done on its own.

My inspirations and way of thinking which I still remember on the top of my head, these days, are;

- Think in terms of The Eisenhower Method https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_management#The_Eisenhower...

- Push/pull around based on priority and I found a nice visualization on Show HN https://nautilus-omnibus.web.app

- Every week of my Calendar is fitted kinda like TeuxDeux, though I do the manual weekly chore of pushing around the task https://teuxdeux.com Here ToDos that do not need to be timed goes up on the top of the day and I just pushed them around when done. If something needs a time, I put it at the right time to block it to no conflict with others, etc.

- I also use my faithful Paper Notebook, and start backward from the last pages as list of ToDo that I have not calendared. Perhaps something I need to do quickly, which I remember while writing but do not want to distract. Add a checkbox in front of each line, and tick them off or strikethrough them.

- If I'm on the Notes app, then I just follow what I do above but on Notes (it has checklist and stuffs).

- Finally, I'm testing with some sort of help from an assistant. I'm tinkering with macOS's Reminders and it has become pretty powerful these days.
