I think we're vastly different. When in school in France, nobody will ever ask you if you want to start a business, and entrepreneurs are depicted as vilains. Your family will consider you've chosen the dark side of the force and

France is definitely a counter example in my opinion: one of the strongest welfare in the world is producing more unemployment than anything, and certainly not entrepreneurs.

I thought electric bicycles were limited to 250W by a (stupid) european law... or maybe you need a driving licence, licence plates and insurance for these?

You must have goals, but "I'm 40 and I've achieved all I wanted for my life" is the least desirable outcome of your life. Because life doesn't end at 40, and you'll feel a deep void... Stay in motion, don'

If this guy hadn't thought he was lucky, he would have resigned from Disney early. So maybe Luck is a belief... and belief is what decisions are made of, good and bad.

"people might discriminate against me since I look older": young men are afraid of being discriminated for their young age. So you could experience positive discrimination instead. When I was in my late 20s and became a manager, I

I find Mongodb works well (OLTP) when you use it as a powerful Key-Value store with secondary indices. You'll get easy replication/failover (rolling updates of the DB server are easy), ease of use (with node.js for example) and ve

I'd choose node.js for the API. Using the same language on both the server and client can be a big plus. It makes context switching much easier for devs... Then choose between Javascript, Coffeescript or Typescript.

I'm not sure the image paradigm would be much of a problem today. Virtualization is common today, Docker is very trendy, and many such tools rely on the concept of images. Smalltalk images are similar to VM snapshots, and not very diff

It's mostly a matter of lobbying... Public safety, assurance, etc... if it were the problem, they'd ask drivers to show their assurance card to customers, and warn customers. But if they only want to ban Uber so satisfy taxi drive

The best example of bureaucratic nonsense ever... Is it supposed to benefit someone ? no. Is it supposed to be a pita of everyone ? yes. Let's do it!

So true. Last month, they announced a new law: Pay slips will be "simplified" by hiding all the contributions paid for by the employer. When I asked french relatives, they'd tell me "but it's not a part of my salary

I also lived in Switzerland (5 years), where bureaucracy is definitely less of a problem than in France: it just works (the first time, not after weeks and 2 attempts). When I hear "France has great tax credits systems for startups&quo

That's the Good. There's also the Bad, and the Ugly. I've left France (I'm french), and now live in Malta, because of the Bad and the Ugly. France has high taxes (and 50% social contributions), very anti-entrepreneur and

The author could have experienced the same by flying a kite or throwing a boomerang, but what's amazing (to me) is asking for political action to protect you and others against ones own misjudgment... There's a severe regulation i

It's really one side of my field of view. It've talked about the face because I did not perceive that half my field of view was missing, but when looking at myself in the mirror, I saw one eye was missing... But it really was half

Actually, I had that stroke the first time I tried anti-migraine treatment (eletriptan). I have no medical proof that there was it was a cause though. Before that, I was usually taking 1000mg of aspirin too. My advice if your migraines occu

A migrainous infarct is a rare complication of migraines with aura, and you should probably not worry too much about it. But make sure you'll NEVER take vasoconstrictors during the aura... Migraines with aura have two phases : - first

It was a mix of bad luck and bad luck: - happened just before the week end - began exactly as a migraine (I had them in the past) making the diagnosis more complex - doctor had never seen a migrainous infarct (it's very rare) - hospita

My eyes were just fine: it's the brain that was the cause here. When it occurs, I can close one eye then the other and still not see in half of my FoV. Part of my brain was not irrigated and did not function properly... There was nothi

I was 32 when I had a stroke (March 4th, 2003). It was a different kind of stroke, affecting a different part of my brain, essentially related to vision. I was half blind, but I only realized something was "strange" when I saw mys

There's certainly a conflict of interest here. Government agencies like the DEA benefit greatly from penalization of drugs. And governments hate closing agencies and firing people. Governments love a good fight, a costly one. And gover

Sure! I know I'm not living on the safe side. But I'm not pro-drugs in the sense that I won't promote drugs. But I'm not anti-drugs either. I guess if anti==prohibition then pro==promotion... If that's a scale, it&#

I agree with you, on every point. As for risks, it's just a risk, a probability... Cantaloupe won't kill me instantly either. And I've tried hash/weed before (as well as another unidentified drug poured into my glass. my

I'm so glad I was downvoted (twice) for making the most positive comment I could on a library I don't need. It clearly shows how silly downvoting is. Yet your documentation rocks. And I thought it had to be said.

very nice documentation! Sorry for the lack of depth of my comment, I don't need vectors...
