...as evidenced by their numerous successes whenever they have intervened in outside theaters for the past 50 years... ?

Just a bit of background: Emmanuel Faber is the CEO of Danone, and was asked to do the graduation speech for the HEC business school in France. The first 5 minutes are unfortunately in French, and then he switches into English. IMHO this speech is at the level of Job's "stay hungry, stay foolish" - very inspiring.

The glorious revolution was the direct consequence of the Lumières - in fact it was part of the movement!

Let's be honest, it is actually the brutality of the French revolution which forced the British royalty to hand over power to the people. And before doing these "peaceful" transitions, all neighbouring countries tried to smother the French with war in order to preserve the priviledges of the remaining monarchies.

The US independance was completely inspired by the "Lumières" (the philosophical movement of the Enlighteners), which originated in France and led to the French revolution as well as the emergence of true democracy accross Europe. So even if the US was already independant by the time the French Revolution happened, this is only because it was way more complicated to achieve the latter. But let's not be mistaken about its origins.

I enjoyed it a lot as well. This piece is a story about Wright, not cold, raw news about whethers he's Satoshi or not. Quite fitting, given that the Satoshi persona is fictive by construction...

Can you be specific about the country? Where I live a similar thing happened to a friend of mine, and he finally managed to discuss with the employment agency who agreed to grant him assistance in the end. He didn't have to mention the company's name in the end.

@wanda do you know about HN Cards on iOS? (shameless plug, but it's free so...)

No, it's not the same at all. Here you get to select online the product you want to buy, you are not "forced" to receive a box of produce. And there is no monthly fee at all, you just pay for what you buy.

That would be most useful indeed. Re-read the paper and still can't pinpoint the main difference vs. previous experiments, and why this is a significant achievement...

Any QM expert around here who could help us?

OK - but what's the difference with previous experiments? Is it that they did it with a single photon? Or is it because they managed to do it from two remote laboratories?

Hi Beloch

I just read the arxiv paper, but with my limited QM understanding it's tough to really grasp the significance of this experiment. Would you be able to explain it in layman's terms (assuming basic knowledge of QM) or is it too tricky to explain?

Many thanks

Use the HN Cards app on iPhone, much better..

Thanks for the explanation.

I have developed several more or less complex apps with Ionic and have yet to see a performance issues on "recent" devices (ie. >4S). But still it's an interesting idea.

One comment: if you have used Ionic purely for UI, maybe you can make this part more modular? eg. giving the ability to use Material UI might be interesting...

I like some of the ideas in the CLI (live reloading on both platforms, live dom editing etc.), but indeed this is very much Ionic + Firebase-like 3 way binding bundled into a nice packaging.

Not sure I see the benefit vs. Ionic in itself to be honest.

To me this sounds very much like "Microsoft is buying Dropbox in the next 6 months"...

For now, yes. Android is on its way :)

Thanks for your comments!

By swiping up you can share to apps like Instapaper etc. if you want to read in the format you like.

Re comments section, an upcoming update will likely adress this in a nice way ;)

Nice - I once had a playsport from Kodak (no longer produced I believe) and really enjoyed it. If this is of the same quality it's certainly worth trying...

This is awesome. What about a collective dev facepalms gallery? It would be great to add a caption to the photo with an extract of the error message at the time. You could actually start a meme with that!

I would say it very much depends on which computer you're trying to organise.

For my work drive, everything is sorted by year then project, and each project starts with a timestamp (= start date), so: 2014/ 2014_01_Project A/ 2014_03_Project B/ etc. and on top of this there's an admin folder to sort contracts etc.

For my personal computer, I tend to organise things by file type (apart from personal projects which are organised as per above), so one folder for videos / images / audio / documents, and then I tag the file accordingly (using the Mac OS X tagging feature).

Hope this helps!

Thanks, this is more or less what I thought. From your experience then, when is the optimal time of year to get attention for a new product?

This is slightly different for my app as it's only targeted at HN users, and my intention is not to make a living off it. Still I'd like to make sure it gets a fair chance to be noticed.

This is such a ridiculous comment...

...which is probably very telling about the general open mindness of American CEOs of $200bn companies ;)

Exactly. If learning Chinese is so difficult for an English speaker, why wouldn't the opposite be true?

Everybody in Paris (and most of France) knows about Rungis. It's merely a logistical platform for restaurants and food outlets, and most restaurants in Paris get stuff from there, not just the best ones.

Or maybe Acme is afraid that FooCorp will refute their argument about a so-called "race to the bottom"... Maybe, just maybe, Acme is lying about "customers [...] switching to Acme in droves "...

I am not really impressed when a potential supplier is bad mouthing competition to get ahead of the pack. I would have a hard time trusting them, and being confident that at some stage they wouldn't bad mouth my company if I was no longer a client for XYZ reason later on....

Wealthfront is very interesting (had come across it a while ago actually). Although mainly focused on investment management. Really looking to see if some startups are trying to disrupt the more "traditional" private banking field, that you would have access when you have usually $1m+ in cash.

Thanks - their product seems to be focused on reporting though?

I have a working prototype. How do you want to proceed concretely?
