Angellist ranks close to 900 legal startups (https://angel.co/companies?markets[]=Legal)

but most of them are in fact only partially legal or "meta legal" in the sense that they do not offer legal advice. There has been going on a lot of discussion why legal discruption or innovation do have such a hard time. One of the most important reasons is linked to the matter as such: math, logic and algorithms are apt to create complex logical structures but remain semantically simple. legal rules are simple in terms of logic but semantically complex.

The very few startups actuelly working the automation field (neota logic, lexalgo) have a hard time finding sufficient real live cases to get their hands on.
No one really cares about what's drawn on it, the only thing that matters is that it is a Picasso. Even if you were making an exact molecule for molecule replica, art collectors wouldn't even use it as a rug.

It reminds me of a very old painting found recently. They were entire debates on whether it had been painted by a very famous artist or not, and if it did it would be worth millions. At no time did anyone wonder if the painting was actually beautiful.

And I know, it shows I am an ignorant unbeliever. Modern art isn't even meant to be "beautiful", it is meant to be "an original concept", but not too original, it still has to comply with the current trend.
Well, it depends on what you mean by "law startup."

There are plenty of document-processing startups that help with what lawyers call e-discovery. There are also some startups that will help you do some standard legal tasks, like incorporate in Delaware and issue stock. I think one of those is Clerky, a YC-funded company. Avvo is a matchmaking/profile aggregation startup that comes to mind.

I worked with Fenwick and West to incorporate https://recent.io/, in part because I've had a relationship with them for a few years. But I see why people today use Clerky and pay ~15% as much.

A few other thoughts:

* Lawyers are some of the most conservative and risk-averse professionals you'll find. So it will take a while for any newfangled innovations to become adopted.

* Those "enormous fees" are already being whittled down as part of a multi-decade shift away from Big Law in its traditional form, including fixed fees rather than hourly rates.

* Bar associations act as a cartel and try to restrict competition. Nolo, which publishes self-help software and books, was actually sued for daring to compete with lawyers ("Unauthorized Practice of Law"): http://blog.nolo.com/blog/2011/04/11/the-brief-story-of-texa...

* When you want tailored advice, a website with a bunch of forms (even forms created by smart lawyers) is likely insufficient. I know one trust attorney in the SF bay area who told me she had to figure out how to handle cryopreservation after some Silicon Valley execs wanted it; that required original research. When you're in a situation where mistakes can cost you millions, hiring an attorney for tailored advice is cheap insurance.

I have to agree with burnte. The OP is brown nosing so hard it definitely looks like astro-turfing.

Also, I disagree that calling out astroturfing is a violation of the HN rules/guidelines. I can think of several recent threads where people have called out astroturfing and NOT been flagged and punished, and have actually been voted up.

If nothing else, such an accusation should be refuted with evidence to the contrary, rather than getting flagged and removed.

So much for all those who said that Android is "only Samsung". In China there is an explosion of local brands which sell Android, and they're eroding Samsung in a still booming market. That's the fact.
I have many friends who buy cars from the $500-$1000 range and then drive them for a few years, fixing everything themselves using replacement parts. The cars are usually 15-20 years old. The insurance is $100-$200 a year. If they drive daily,do you think anyone will rent them a brand new, technology packed car for what is effectively $20 a month? HN lives in this bubble when everyone can afford a new car, or at least a lease on a car, but if you move slightly out of the 1st world countries(and by that I mean good countries with free healthcare, free education, but still with developing economies), you will find that for a lot of people $200 is half of their monthly salary. And yet those people drive their cars too. They don't live in poverty by any means, it's just that the standard of living is different than in the West.

It's not that simple.

Many Koreans adore Samsung as a national icon, and it is indeed true that Samsung's electronics division alone accounts for a sizable percentage of Korea's GDP. But there are also a lot of Koreans who resent Samsung and go out of their way to avoid buying from them. The influence of chaebol [1] on the Korean economy and politics is a contentious topic, often split along ideological lines.

In addition, the smartphone market in South Korea is extremely convoluted. Sticker prices are artificially inflated, and manufacturers, carriers, and retailers all throw around arbitrary discounts as a weapon to steal their competitors' customers. For a lot of people who just want a phone that works, the choice has less to do with the brand or the features, and more to do with whichever model happens to be the best deal at any given hour. Nobody praises anyone for buying a Galaxy or chastises anyone for buying an iPhone. And if you don't like either, you just buy LG.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaebol
TLDR; If you have to ask, you never will be. I'd concentrate on being the best you can be; that way, others will ask how they can be more like you.
> Please note, I'm not going to argue that the people that said that they were no longer purchasing Sony products are the very same people that bought a PS4 over an Xbox One

Given the "currently playing" lists on e.g. Steam after a boycotted game releases? I'm going to make that argument. It seems most simply don't have the willpower to maintain a boycott until even, say, the first sale for a single game - nevermind a whole company long term. It's easily 90% noise. Talk is cheap.

> but I am arguing that these people had a minuscule to nonexistent effect on the overall repercussions against Sony as to not matter.

[citation needed]

While I'd be inclined to believe you're right based on the mentioned ancedata, that doesn't necessarily mean they'll have a minuscule effect on other companies, if consumers are ever sufficiently incensed enough to follow through on their word. Or avoid purchasing from them without making big fuss about it, as I'm currently doing with Lenovo for at least my next purchase.

I'd also note that laptops are a bit more "fungible" than consoles and gaming networks, in the sense that you can easily find similar laptops with similar specs for anything you might want from Lenovo's lineup. You'll hear gamers talk about how they "need" the latest COD, or a PS4, but they're more likely to pun about "Hell" (if only out of amusement) than talk about how they "need" another Dell. Or Lenovo. Better chance of making a difference?

...that said, I'm not seeing any kind of significant dip in Lenovo's stock price around the Superfish debacle. Superfish doesn't appear to be publicly traded, although their placeholdered homepage is a good sign for bad things having happened to them.

The Samsung-branded Android is horrible, though.

I really think Google's permissiveness in allowing vendors to bundle their crapware really kills any prestige the brand might have had. iOS really isn't anything special, but when compared to the literal dogshit that Samsung puts on their phones, it's hard not to make a favourable comparison in favour of Apple's operating system.

I used to think Android had bad performance until I got my first Nexus-series device, at which point I realized that "Vanilla Android" is actually a pretty good OS. It's bothersome that seemingly nobody's out there making this point.

Samsung's insistence on bundling crapware is killing Android.
Regulations for carrying a passenger in a Taxi is also exaggerated. Apart from being able to drive, not much should be regulated IMO. Perhaps price and extra services can be apparent before entering the vehicle (if car has insurance etc..). And let the customer decide the rest.
That would be Xiaomi and other local chinese brands.
+1 - I would say this reports deviates almost zero from any priced round I've done. All get 1X liq. pref, usually not-participating.

For anyone non-familiar with the nomenclature. TAS stands for "Tool-ASsisted" run, which means running the game on a special emulator and playing it with additional help of features like save-states, slowing the time down or even inserting input frame-by-frame. The emulator keeps track of controller input for every frame and then is able to "playback" it so it appears as it would be normally played by a super-skilled player.

While some consider TAS runs as "cheated", they have their own niché, because usually they are pretty entertaining, showing what can be achieved in the game that's otherwise not possible in real-time runs, showcasing game glitches, and so on.
France->Australia, anyone? My male, 27yo friend hitchhiked to come and see me in Sydney from France. 5 months, one flight, a few boats, and hitchhiking for the rest: France, Turkey, Tajikistan, Vietnam, Singapore, even Perth->Sydney. I guess he's a bit positively biased because he had only one bad story to tell, a trucker who thought he had a crush with him, and my friend just walked away at the next stop.

I think storing maps as images is quite common actually for simple games not made in a game engine that handles maps.

You can also use the drawn map as a template, and add random details (random variants of each tile). Also, you'll quickly find you want to use more sophisticated autotiling which handles multiple tile types meeting, and special cases. Here's an article about autotiling by defining rulesets which goes into more detail: http://www.squidi.net/three/entry.php?id=166

We had a neighbor in our village who had chickens, who always kept the same number of black-feathered and white-feathered chickens. I never saw how this helped with anything. He did it for its own sake I guess. He just liked symmetries and equalities, always keeping his things ordered and aligned, he was kind of obsessive like that.

Art forgery/reproduction is a well studied craft and as such making decent replicas is not hard (my wife has a half dozen fairly decent Monet's and Matisse's kicking about our attic from her art school days). But even if you could reproduce a painting to the point where it is indistinguishable from the original it still doesn't reflect the fact that paintings are historical artifacts as much as simply an aesthetically beautiful objects. And much like any historical artifact much of its value lies in the fact that you are looking at an object that was "there" with "them" when "it" happened. That is something you can never reproduce.
I agree with this and your other comment and would add that the distortion of the market caused by medallions is exactly why the market is crashing as hard as it is, and also why Uber and Lyft are so popular - there's pent up demand for transportation via on demand cars that isn't able to be met under the taxi medallion system. Not just demand for more transportation but more cost effective and available transportation as well.

It's not a new phenomenon - successive managements go through a cycle where they think ELINT and COMINT can make HUMINT obsolete, and then some bad thing happens and they realize they were wrong (but never admit it).

The theory is that - much as the decentralised panopticon of Van Vogt's "Anarchistic Colossus" - we'll eventually be able to parse everything everybody ever says and preemptively stop bad things. The practice is that humans are pretty good at it and computers aren't yet (that we publicly know of).

Reading about Eagle Claw [1], I was surprised at how few human assets the US had in Iran, due to both post-Vietnam cuts and an increased belief in computer magic. It's been a while but I remember they had something like a couple of cooks in the embassy, and nobody outside... contrast this with General Kalugin's assertion in his biography that almost 2/3 of Soviet staff in the US was KGB!

More recently, Charlie Hebdo was followed by a few leaks from the DGSE complaining of budget cuts targeting human assets and "street" operations, and a reorg that definitely did not prioritize the man on the street (no link - I read it in French papers).

Pete Blaber, at the time commander of Delta Force, recently complained [2] that Operation Anaconda was plagued by generals who managed it from the comfort of their AC rooms in Washington, basing their decision on drone and satellite feeds, unwilling to trust the men on the ground (and even cutting the Delta Force team out of comms when they objected).

The sad thing is that HUMINT takes a long time to develop, and requires a lot of experience (which is partly why the Allied won the intelligence war over the freshly purged German apparatus). Firing those with that experience can lead to years of underperformance as the expertise is slowly rebuilt.

This is one of the reasons the CIA was happy to use former Nazis to hunt Soviet spies in Germany [3] - justified both by these men's extensive experience operating in the territory and the fact that the Stasi was doing the same. I think not enough has been said about how the recent (returning) obsession with electronic surveillance is potentially damaging that side of (genuine, needed) counter-terrorist capability.

[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Eagle_Claw

[2] http://www.amazon.com/The-Mission-Men-Me-Commander/dp/042523... - what is most interesting was Delta Force's insistance on reading everything they could from previous defenders of the Shahi-Kot, thereby anticipating the exact way in which the enemy took down the helicopters later sent in by Washington, which was the way the locals used to shoot down Soviet helicopters.

Then you misinterpreted me — I didn't intend to imply anything of the sort. That kind of statement would be absurd.
My experience is in line with yours - investors always assert liq pref when they can, have never seen them give much on it. I've seen preferred throw common a few cents on the share, but usually it's zero.

Yes, I know. And I know perfectly well that Go at its current immature state would never have gotten the kind of attention and consideration if it had not been designed by Mr. Pike. While I believe that many of the warts of Go are by design, some are obviously not.

Major earthquake strikes Nepal (May 12th)
Trados is a famous one:
https://www.wsgr.com/WSGR/Display.aspx?SectionName=publicati...

Basically, Trados got sold, preferred got their liquidation preference and common stock got zero dollars. Common stockholder sued saying that they should have held out for a deal that gave Common some $$ and that the board (which was controlled by preferred) violated their duty to common, but DE court said that the board + preferred were OK to do the deal.

Usually this is happening mid or later stage, where a once hot company is flat or declining, and the preferred holders control the majority of the board and the company (and sometimes the founder is already gone), in which case the preferred holders effectively control the decision entirely.
Sad to hear this, it has been a tough month.

Science negated more firmly held beliefs of many religious communities and nobody fought wars over that. They either adapted, or deny all evidences.

Yup, got it working on 14.04 here. My guess is you're having issues setting up the scientific python stack. You might want to try the anaconda distribution (https://store.continuum.io/cshop/anaconda/) if you continue having problems, or follow the instructions from the scipy website on installing via apt-get (http://www.scipy.org/install.html). The apt-get install should pull in some binaries and header files that you won't get from pip. After installing from apt-get you can then run the setup.py file and things should go much more smoothly.

The only other apt-get package I remember pulling down was the hd5f headers: "sudo apt-get install libhdf5-dev"
That's not a list of Show, that's a list of a single type that instantiates Show.

The difference being that in your code you can only put in a single type at a time, eg [Int] or [String], but not both Int and String under the common Show interface type.
