Oh, come on.

If your business model is "bypass the law and hope you can get big enough before anyone notices", this kind of setbacks are bound to happen. It happened in France, it could have happened anywhere.

On the other hand, there are thousands of people creating startups without trying to hack the law, and they are doing just fine in France.

I agree in cases where the compiler knows that undefined behavior is taking place. A lot of the silent optimizations LLVM and GCC make are in cases where the compiler isn't really sure it has identified undefined behavior, though.

To put it in classical logic terminology, one case is modus ponens reasoning. Undefined behavior implies the compiler can do whatever it wants. The compiler finds undefined behavior. Therefore it does whatever it wants. This is the case where it'd be better for the compiler to error out than do something nutty.

But many of the optimizations are doing modus tollens reasoning. If X were true, then the program would perform undefined behavior. Conforming programs do not perform undefined behavior. Therefore NOT-X must hold in conforming programs, and this fact can be used in optimizations.

So.

The tool is now 100% front-end. I used the library @mykii posted below (https://github.com/mykiimike/jen) and there should not be any HTTPS errors now.

The code is even on Github (https://github.com/djaiss/simplestpasswordgenerator) - so you can see that I don't do anything nasty with our precious passwords.

Ask HN: Do you meditate?
After listening to a lot of podcasts that interview high performers (specifically Tim Ferriss' podcast) it seems like a high percentage of high performers do have some sort of meditation practice built into their day.

I was just curious about the typically younger crowed here on HN. Do you meditate? How? How long? Does it help you?

I am not going to say that I agree or disagree with this methodology, but let me give you some context. Traditionally, getting into the GSA schedule is a lot of work and it takes a lot of time. So much indeed, that it doesn't make sense for most startups to do this.

For some startups in the Govtech space this makes more sense. It is a way to hack the procurement process. I would happily get one of our devs to put something together that uses our Open Source codebase and solves this "challenge" than to spend months navigating all the bureaucracy to get in the schedule.

Somewhere around $50b/year go through the GSA schedule (http://www.gsa.gov/portal/content/198473) so, IMHO, anything that makes this process easier is a step in the right direction against traditional vendor lock-in.

World's Largest MVP scores revenue and investment
By Bob Dorf

Almost without a doubt, it’s the largest MVP in history: more than 20 feet long, 10’ high and 10’ wide—2,000 cubic feet and 5,000 pounds in all. What’s more, the huge MVP has already recorded some $305,000 in sales from its first user and half of the seed round for “Block Party Suites.”

I met co-founder Steve Gilman in my full-semester Lean LaunchPad class at Columbia B-School, where I was impressed with his energy, dedication to entrepreneurship, and earlier life as a pro baseball player.

In an “office hours” we reviewed a rough business plan he and co-founders developed to serve the exploding tailgating market, and rough sketches of the MVP itself: a 20’ ocean shipping container converted into a portable open-air party center, complete with luxury furniture, a rooftop deck, big screen tv’s, team logos, and more.

I always admire founders who self-fund, and this team’s limited capital (30K among three co-founders) funded an MVP of the suite that could be easily produced and put to work, soliciting end-users for feedback—just as I’d taught Steve in class: hypothesis/test/learn/iterate, of course. (He got an A).

The MVP taught the team quite a bit:
•	Sports properties needed upgraded accommodations outside of the stadium to grow with the popularity of pre-game tailgating
•	Sponsors needed lots of room and electricity for signage
•	Stadiums weren’t the primary prospects at all; sports properties and event planners were, they control the “street to seat” experience on game day
•	Nobody wanted to buy the unit; leasing the unit for multiple events was the key
•	And a huge incremental revenue opportunity: providing catering, beer, and staff

The rest, as they say, is history: a solid pipeline of prospects and contracts pending, and a seed round that’s half-filled in less than sixty days.

So it just hasn't been done right yet ...?

That's right. You know how scientists had this theory that there is a particle they haven't observed yet, but should exist? They called it Higgs boson and constructed a lot of expensive equipment to try to prove that it exists.

You have to make a distinction between theory and practice. You can criticize communism as a concept or you can criticize existing and past communist states, but those two are not the same thing.

Dismissing communism solely because of Soviet Union, Cuba or China would be the same as dismissing democracy solely because of Richard Nixon or Condoleezza Rice.

Youtube is driven much more by social incentive and the need to express oneself...the revshare is not the primary driver.
In the 90s in my first business I did support at home for people who thought they could get unpaid support from their friends, neighbours and neighbourhood kids. We were expensive and never lacked clients who had gotten unpaid support which had only made things worse.
No, I'm not and that's an important point. The distribution by age probably matches the distribution that are taking the drug.

Think about it this way. Expecting foreigners to speak French may be a bigger hurdle to attract interest compared to expecting foreigners to speak English which is spoken the most in the world.

Yes french could still be mentioned but it may not make much difference.
If you are explicitly contacted and refused service, its actually illegal to do what the user did.
Trashing uber in France is like the US trashing the chinese, uber is not a startup, it's a huge foreign conglomerate entering a new country where there is already a huge incumbent in place, there is nothing startupy anymore about it, you're a few years late to the party.

It's like the crackdowns on online gaming in the US for example.

Cross-channel attribution in digital media.

Many companies (including Google, etc.) are making healthy progress here, but nobody has managed to really tell me the incremental value of my display efforts, the value of a view-through, whether bidding on that brand term really made a difference, etc.

Right now the tools out there can give you different lenses to view data through (static/custom attribution models), or take a stab at finding a data-driven, dynamic attribution model.

However the outputs all seem to be pretty underwhelming and do not typically spit out actionable insights like "Increasing spend on X, Y and Z placements should give an incremental revenue lift of $$$$."

Companies have tried, and for the most part failed. If anyone thinks they have the solution I've been waiting for, please don't hesitate to respond. But as a starter, your offering should do more than the free version of Google Analytics.
Since the title was edited somehow, this is the interesting part: "We’re requiring vendors to submit a working prototype based on a public dataset and show their work in a publicly available git repository. "
> If no one is spending money, and paying down their old debts due previously reckless lending and borrowing, you have a depression, where lots of people want to work, but can't, because no one is buying anything.

You know, monetary theorists make me dizzy.

Please explain how people were able to live before debt was defined as money? Because there was a before, and people lived by then.

What monetarists often forget is that inflation (both positive and negative) exists. What's a surprising and ironic realization, because "inflation" is the thing they study.

You can make any kind of shady accounting, and define any kinds of equality you want at the monetary side of the economy. In the end, the real side will distribute everything that is produced to people that want it, and set the real wealth of the economy. If you want to claim that monetary phenomena cause real problems, well, you must claim a link between them, because it's not automatic, and "money disappears" isn't one (although "prices are sticky" is).
Yes, and that's why we didn't call it that.. We had a box that "you just plug in, reconfigure your existing email client and are ready to go." .. and still: the privacy concerned end-user audience is a hard nut to crack, because you cannot just sell a magic box - people want to know what is inside, but then they shy away from too much tech.
Maybe its secure, but maybe a vulnerability is simply worth more than the amount of btc in the pinata.

The amount in the pinata should probably double every X days. In this situation, if two people know the secret, it is advantageous for one of them to act immediately.

Separate bike lanes, separate green-time for cyclists at traffic lights, higher frequencey of green-time for cyclists at traffic lights, treating cyclists as a separate but first-class traffic user. These are all ways to alleviate red-light running.

As it is, too often a cyclist is seen as a slow, narrow car in the rules. If you are gracious about it as a cyclist, by not actually occupying the entire lane as the rules suggest you do, you get doored from one side, (nearly) swiped off the road by passing cars on the other, and at traffic lights right-turning cars blindly run into you.

Also note: while a high-speed cyclist can kill or seriously injure a pedestrian in an accident in rare cases, a car going at a typical urban-road speed will kill or seriously injure a cyclist or pedestrian in most cases. I think that, as with guns, the onus is on the person wielding the deadly device to handle it with sufficient care in the circumstances they find themselves in.
And if there was no 'Russian threat', no 'cold war' and no Marshall Plan... How well do you think a 'hard currency' would have worked for them?

No. It wouldn't have happened at all.
As for enterprise solutions: I seriously doubt that PGP is a solution there, because recipients must have a pgp based solution as well. OTOH they can easily run S/MIME and feel fine... own-mailbox, at least, seems to support a mode where the recipients does not need gpg by sending out a link which points back to the plaintext email (and I assume they would then need a password of some kind.)

Seconded, really great book, super easy read.
I've thought for a long time that the most likely corruption we'd see around the surveillance issue is industrial espionage. It'd be a great way for the NSA to give an unfair advantage to state-linked American corporations, or for independent actors within NSA to line their pockets.

A related issue would be insider trading. I mean, with a source of data like that you could basically 'jackpot' stock markets and extract arbitrary amounts of money from the global economy. Members of Congress are immune from prosecution for insider trading.

They did take some time to build obviously, but that was probably made on a assembly band or similar where they make one of those sections every minute.

And if they put some nice automation systems in the shop they could probably cut that time down significantly.

Down here in Europe it is still okay to call a taxi 1.5 hours before takeoff, get to the airport, buy a ticket and fly. Is American security checks system so inefficient? In Europe it normally takes maybe 10 minutes if you go the normal line or max 2 minutes if you go choose 5-10 euro fast track, plus 2 minutes to buy that fast track on a separate counter, which a bit sucks.
Can you elaborate on this? I had this idea lingering in the back of my head to move to France for 3-6 months to build out my concept/prototype and then move back to the US when I am ready to leave the "pre-revenue" stage of the startup.
"Strongly dislike", it's not like any rational person waits in the wings with mallet to abuse someone for being new. :) If you do face a culture of blame (like playing an online game) your office culture probably is a bad fit. Never work with assholes. It's never worth it.

Study their workflow and design process well. Learn DVCS (git, hg) very well and the best practices that come with it (especially branching).

Once you have branching down, you can create your own branches without affecting their work.

Never use --force.

That makes is basically impossible for you to be a headache.

Use local databases only for testing/dev. Make sure you have a development server ready that's ok to wipe at will (so other devs don't cry about it).

Most personal mail servers won't, but most sources of e-mail sending un-authenticated e-mail direct to the target mail servers from consumer internet connections are spam these days because almost no consumers does that - instead most e-mail sent that way come from malware.

An algorithm that auto-spam-boxes mail from address blocks used for consumer connections or from "new" servers is not ignorant - it is taking into account years worth of evidence that it is an effective counter-measure against spam.

I'm saying that as someone who would like to run my own home mail server, and someone who is constantly battling to make sure our (100% opt in) bulk mail servers at work don't get blocked by overzealous spam filters - I wish it wasn't this way, but it is.

One option is to pay for mail hosting from a "big mail provider" or hosting company and simply use it only for relaying/sending outbound mail but not for incoming. Assuming 25/TCP inbound is not blocked by your ISP, you can point the MX RR at yourself and handle incoming mail on your own.

I work for an ISP and run my own personal mail system. This (25/TCP outbound being blocked/restricted) is, as you mention, one of the biggest hurdles for an average person to be able to run their own mail system (especially on their home connection). I've debated offering up a cheap "outbound relay only" service for fellow geeks but I would have to (initially, at least) institute some pretty low rate restrictions in order to help prevent any spam issues. That's the biggest thing stopping me from doing it so far.
Another common example is something like a Markdown/BBCode parser.
I don't believe it will happen.
I liked "Fail Fast, and Follow the Fun" and emphasis on immersion.

But this article, like Carmack's pro-VR article, convinced me that VR isn't ready. Before it was unacceptable latency for some motions; now it's motion sickness.

But these are clever guys. One day it will be ready.
So, I find the posts in the github issue interesting. Open source does not necessarily mean free as in beer, but free as in speech.

You can do whatever you want with open source software once you have it, but saying its open source and charging for access to it are not mutually exclusive options.

As an entrepreneur in Europe I avoid France at all cost, even when it is a big market for us, we develop for them outside.

Great place to live, bad place for working. Worse if the people that decide on your visas and conditions are Communist people. Central planning(communism) is the opposite of startups.

In the US people(the culture and society) admire people that makes money, in my opinion too much. When Americans talk about people they say things like "he is worth X thousands dollars", implying that people is worth the money they have in the bank.

In France it is the polar opposite, the culture hates successful people, envy is endemic and taxes are on the roof, and will only grow higher when the German money stops flowing.

France is one of the natural wealthiest countries I have ever lived, but French people are not very efficient at exploiting it. They believe in eternal rights, but not on duties.

The same way than when you live in China you feel the Cultural revolution, in France you feel the French Revolution at every corner.
"work" also involves the total velocity change, which means that the trip to employment results in the same amount of total work, regardless of the number of stops made, and which over the total of a day results in 0 work being completed (assuming a round trip from home to the place of employment).

Perhaps the physics definition of "work" isn't quite the right one to use?
Can someone explain what "logistics" is? I've always just understood it as shipping and handling, and doesn't FedEx do that? (Therefore, I assume it's not shipping and handling)

We're aware that bounties can't demonstrate security (mentioned early on in the post). However, putting such items out there and inviting review helps to stress-test the stack.

I'm not sure what you are referring to with the will of the governed part. As I understand the situation Greece was flooded with cheap money in the form of low interest loans from French and German banks. Not surprisingly lots of money was borrowed. So much money that Greece will never be able to pay it off as long as it remains part of the euro. Shouldn't the banks also take a hit alongside Greece? I think so.
