The fry cook is not the franchise owner. The Uber driver is not an entrepreneur.

I think I know what the author is trying to say, but don't think it's actually as big of issue as the author puts on. Funding, aside from the occasional very big project, usually goes to the "diversity" people.

Except for the majority of middle class people like somewhere in between. They can't afford premium, but want a little more assistance than ALDI. Basically, there's three market segments, not two.

Completely disagree. There's a bunch of "word-like markdown editors" out there. We don't need one more of those. There's a real market here. Word is huge, and people aren't gonna give it up. This looks to be a

That's.... pretty much my exact experience (oh, I get to add multiple years of latex use). Html or plaintext is all I trust now. A nice editor on top of it and I'm good. If you have to do larger document writing, I recommend Madca

This generally works out well no matter how big the number or reports. People realize that there's x people reporting to you, and tend to be very careful about deciding to bring something to you. If someone wastes his time it looks bad

First read "more is different". Solid state physicists were first to pioneer in this field: http://robotics.cs.tamu.edu/dshell/cs689/papers/anderson72mo... There's a very light book by some mod

I used it for 6 years controlling a complex experimental apparatus for some physics experiments. It's great at getting out of your way and letting you focus on the results. It's definitely not a typical programming language. It&#x

You need to get out of whatever bubble you're living in. Human civilization is doing fine. Machine learning will do some stuff but not major changes at the civilization level in the next 40 years. Walk into any real world business toda

They said in the article it was low mW. Yes, looking at the other end of a laser fiber is stupid, particularly when your eye can't see the wavelength. If you're working with 1550nm light and single-mode fibers you should know that

Canada has <5% minority groups... most are 2-3%. It's pretty much all white (86% or something) US is 60% white roughly. It's a bigger deal because it's a more noticeable issue.

No it's not. Its ok to estimate your competitors size by driving by their parking lot and counting how many cars are there. It's not ok to bypass security and access their company directory. The ethical line is "what is publi

Thanks for the paper link. Fun to see it show up on HN. I did my PhD in this area and am familiar with the Engels group (one of my papers is cited by theirs). You're correct that this is no ordinary fluid, but observing "negative

May be fine for the rich and middle class, and so this town in CA may be ok. But public transit is a survival mechanism for many poor youth.
