Ask HN: How good are the local startup scenes in Lisbon and Sofia?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10638815I'm a solo founder and my startup is beginning to get some momentum. To capitalise on this I've decided it's time to move ops out of my spare bedroom and in to a more dynamic environment. Main goal for moving: increase my chances of bumping in to like minded people and finding a co-founder / first hire.I've narrowed the choice down to Lisbon or Sofia (having started with London, Paris, Barcelona, Sofia and Lisbon) and would love to hear the experiences of any HNers who have spent time in either city - especially if it was while bootstrapping your own startup (or working for someone else's)!Things I'd love to know: quality, size and diversity of local talent; quality of local accelerators and investors; how easy/hard it is to find (good) people that want to take a risk and work for an early stage startup; friendliness of the local startup scene.My pros for Sofia:- Betahaus co-working space- Fantastic cost of living (~30% cheaper than Lisbon - which itself is already cheap)- Lovely city,Nov 27, 2015 9:01 PM

Ask HN: Why does some music labels hide their albums on Allmusic.com?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10412420Now and then when I visit http://allmusic.com and click an album I get an error page saying "Due to label restrictions, we are no longer permitted to display this information on AllMusic."I find this very strange, why on earth would a label restrict information about an album they have?So I asked Allmusic that question and got this response from Zac Johnson, Senior Product Manager: "If I felt as though I was comfortable going into the intricacies of the deals that are in place between a specific worldwide distributor and our data provider, I would detail it further, but the truth is that it's an area that I don't want to poke further."Example album: "The Definition" by Jon Bellion. http://www.allmusic.com/artist/jon-bellion-mn0003006966/discography (click the album link to see the error message)To see the response from Allmusic, go here: https://getsatisfaction.com/allmedianetwork/topics/some-albums-are-unreachableCan HN shed some light on what's going on?Oct 19, 2015 12:27 PM

Ask HN: Staying Happyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10104051I really remember it, back to the time when i was in college, i have so much tasks. I needed to attend campus club. Lots of assignment. But the fact i was happy still surprises me.It has been ~1.5 years since i graduated from my college and got to work as a software engineer. I got decent job with decent salary (at least pretty good in my area). The workplace itself considered as a "fun" environment: sleeping pod, ping pong table, coffee machine and no cubicles. Also, workload is lighter than class assignments. But it seems like i am not happy anymore -- i don't know why. (Btw, yes, i do love coding. I do some of my pet projects in weekend)I tried to do so much things (to try) making myself happier: Cycling around the city, playing some game with friends; but none of them seems to be working.After all, i want to create happiness, not to "do something" or "buy something" to make myself happy. I know happiness is intrinsic and subjective. Two persons doing a same thing may perceive that Aug 22, 2015 10:41 PM

Ask HN: Blockchainshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10032099More and more noise seems to be appearing about blockchains. I see the small benefit of use in transactions between organisations, but am struggling for the case for private blockchains and some points of cryptocurrency in general. I don’t know if this is the best place to ask, but everything online is full of jargon and is inaccessible to me.I have a few questions:- What are the benefits of using a private blockchain (should I be thinking of it as a replacement to a General Ledger?)? Is this just another name for a ledger with auditable history?- Can a blockchain exist without mining or without a currency/coin? Will all private blockchains need a “coin”? (eg the Goldman Sachs coin or ABC plumbing coin?)And another couple of broader questions- What keeps people interested in a blockchain (and currency) once all of the easy mining is done eg, for people joining later?- I see that transaction costs for bitcoin keep rising, is that related to the size of the blockchain?- I thought bitcoinAug 10, 2015 12:27 AM

MacOS is the new Windowshttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9816994I'm typing this on my late 2010 MacBook Air. Recently I was starting having problems with it (you know when you type your password and the system does not recognize your key presses, etc.). And I thought, “Oh, ok, I have to accept that we live in a world of planned obsolesce (how else faster-than-a-gigahertz multi-gigabyte-RAM machine could become slow? If it is capable of real-time response to user's actions, it should respond in real-time) and I have to upgrade to get my job done”.So I switched to this new aesthetically marvelous wonder: an early 2015 13 inch MacBook Pro. In 5 days I'm using it the machine restarted two (or three?) times "because of problems" though it has much less software installed than my old rock-stable-in-comparison MacBook Air. And now I'm installing an OS update which already restarted my system twice. First it restarted the system, than it said, “Ooops, I cannot verify the update”, fiddled with it for several more minutes, restarted-downloaded-restarted... WJul 2, 2015 5:20 AM
