I can't speak for CS, but I got a PhD in applied math at a respectable school in Virginia and about 90% of our grad students were not US citizens. To my knowledge, every one of them left on completion of their degrees and I can't remember a single one who actually expressed an interest in staying. I think people who see STEM grad students as some sort of huddled masses yearning for US residency are pretty out of touch with reality. This isn't 1960 anymore.
I think the frustration is that around a month ago Zuckaberg himself was hitting the media to drum up speculation, "Is it time to add a dislike button". I think it's more a matter of failure to deliver on said hype as expected.

Simply, for around a month we've been challenged to consider, is a dislike button something you might use? "Ok I suppose YES". Well then here's the new features. "Wait?! Where the dislike button you mentioned?". "Dislike! And crap that reminds me you didn't add the dislike button I want to use right now to dislike that you left the button out!!"
US military spending is nearing a 70 year low as a percentage of GDP. It has fallen by about $150 billion since 2009. By 2019 it's projected to hit about 3% of GDP. By comparison, France and the UK are around 2%. Military spending right now is not the primary problem facing the US fiscally.

Entitlements are the priority when it comes to US spending. They take up 60%+ of the federal budget. When you throw in the State and Local budgets (which combined are nearly the size of the federal spending), military spending is a modest fraction of US spending habits.

Lookit, I love Slack. Used it extensively in a huge team.

But I do get tired of the constant thing around HN whenever a company releases some new feature, people immediately post a "Well, credit should really go to XYZ who did it first".

Sometimes the other company did launch a similar feature first, sometimes the features aren't that similar, and more often than not, everyone is copying from everyone. (and that's ok)
But that's the whole point: Can you trust that the box does what Amazon says it does? Because the Google box did not do what Google said it did, but if I hadn't been very insistent about it (to the point of having a number of people think I was being a total dick), we would never have known.
So how does this work? Wouldn't ntpd sometimes start before networking, for example? Why is this not a bigger issue?
I'm not sure it's a middlebrow dismissal, it's well-timed sarcasm which points to an important issue: Facebook deciding which emotions and expressions are first class citizens and which aren't is troubling.
Followup, since it's too long since my reply to edit:

How are you assuming Inline::Perl5 works? Did you look into it and these are issues you found, or are these from how you assume it works?

Inline::Perl5 spins up an embedded perl5 interpreter (libperl I assume), and handles the data marshaling transparently. I assume (having not looked too closely at it's implementation), that it's sort of like a reverse XS. It looks into the perl5 guts, runs perl5 code, and exposes variables and functions to Perl 6. I see no reason to assume it wouldn't be using SVREFCNT_int and SVREFCNT_dec or equivalents as needed on scope changes to handle this.

In fact, looking at the Inline::perl5 repo now, it appears they are doing quite a bit with the refcnt functions[1].

Compare how the World Service used to be funded to how the rest of the BBC is funded.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_World_Service

> Like the rest of the BBC, the World Service is a Crown corporation of the UK Government. Until 2014, unlike the rest of the corporation, which is funded through a television licence fee, the World Service was funded through a Parliamentary grant-in-aid given by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. In 2008/9 the BBC World Service received 12.4% of the department's £2.2 billion budget[37][38] and in the financial year 2011/12, the service received £255.2 million from this grant.[39]
> counter-culture types, they can be incredibly insular, superficial, and tribal

This applies to all types of people, rich, poor, conservative, progressive and the stuff in between. On a meta-scale it would be the way a country might react to immigrants, and like a self-similar fractal the sentiment works at smaller and smaller scales like seaboard, North/South, state, county, town etc. I guess the underlying mentality is, hey we made this area for people like us, not people like you. Now you're ruining it by changing what it is...

Using the counter-culture area as an example, if large numbers of people move to an edgy place shaped by artists, musicians, bums, gender/sexual aberrations and people who generally reject what other areas have to offer, and they don't want to be part of the existing social fabric then they're treated in a way analogous to how an immune system would antagonize a foreign body. It could just as easily be old money getting shitty with new money flooding their uppity neighborhood with unacceptable values or garish sensibilities.

IOW: people generally don't like change. Especially if it's not in their favor or to their taste.

> looking down on others who don't prize their typically temporary life-style choices

It's easy to judge groups of people with generalizations - they're doing the same to you. The funny thing is most people would get along fine if they put that kind of mentality away and just spoke to each other with a common respect.
Wow, this tool is really... smartdumb? I don't mean that as an insult, it generates ideas that are 90% complete and requires you to fill in the rest yourself. It's almost like a mind-mapping tool: start with a central topic, and branch out to related material.

> You glean just as much information from someone clicking Like and leaving no context as you do someone clicking Dislike and leaving no context.

I disagree; Perhaps a programming analogy instead?

if(x == 0) # when this is true, you know what x is, and what it isn't

if(x != 0) # when this is true, you only know what x isn't

Like with no context tells the receiver what the audience wants (more of the same); dislike doesn't (okay, so don't do this thing, but do what instead?).

That's what I mean by the analogy - "do this" is a much more useful statement than "don't do that".

Such misinformation here. First, the merges usually happen automagically. The automatically added diffs, if any, are usually tiny and targeted.

If it's a nightmare for a particular team, that team just needs to learn how to use IB. One person (or one pair if you're doing that) should work on a scene at a time. And it's really easy to have storyboards broken up into multiple storyboards, which makes most of these red herring issues go away anyway.

I think people get fooled by the fact that the UI is visual. There it is, in front of you, so you think you should be able to add multiple interdependent constraints while another person with their own copy of the same file is adding conflicting interdependent constraints to the same scene. Note, I didn't say "independent" I said "interdependent." That will never work, ever, in any system. It won't even work if you do things programmatically, with different people changing interdependent constraints at the same time and then expecting them all to merge and work without pain. It's not even really an IB issue; you just see it in IB because the visual UI makes you think it should just work like magic.
So odd, because in the end, you could add the following:

"However, every single one of the Plaintiff's claims (that MJ was defamatory, libelous, derogatory or otherwise) is found to be without merit."

So, the accusation is that there is mud to be slung, and that the mud slung was accurate, just not balanced - and it's only MJ that might have an issue with portraying themselves as balanced, which, if problematic, reminds me only of a certain TV networks "Fair and Balanced" sloganeering.

There was an interesting question posed to the straight dope, "before World War II, who occupied the rhetorical role that Hitler occupies today?" (that is, the embodiment of evil on earth).

Asking this question is pretty insightful; it becomes clear that Hitler fills the role now more because we need to have somebody in there than because his life was so shocking that everyone's perspective was changed forever after it happened.

The answer to the question is also interesting, but a little less so -- at least for the US, it was a biblical reference, "Pharaoh".

Precisely the point (as raised by the article) - that individuals couldn't have fought this (indeed MJ covered another journalists legal costs when he was named as an individual defendant), and how Vandersloot avoided suing anyone with enough resources to fight back even more aggressively.

I am not addressing the possible benefits of stricter gun control laws in the US. I am saying that your claim that Australia-style gun control laws will lead to 'New Orleans style door to door SWAT raids to confiscate' is hyperbolic, such that people may immediately discard your viewpoints as being unrealistic.

I don't know where you got your 200K number. http://edition.cnn.com/2012/12/16/opinion/australia-gun-laws... says:

> In two nationwide, federally funded gun buybacks, plus large-scale voluntary surrenders and state gun amnesties both before and after Port Arthur, Australia collected and destroyed more than a million firearms, perhaps one-third of the national stock. No other nation had attempted anything on this scale.

I confirmed this at http://loc.gov/law/help/firearms-control/australia.php , which says the 1996 buyback collected "More than 640,000 prohibited firearms", and "there were about 3.25 million guns in Australia prior to the 1996–1997 buyback program". The 2003 buyback "resulted in about 70,000 handguns" being collected. I don't know where the CNN' "more than a million firearms" comes from, but the numbers I found are still 3x what you give.

It's also mostly meaningless to compare Australia's "200K guns out of circulation" to a total US ownership of 300M guns. Those are two different statistics. It's more appropriate to compare the 3 million guns from a then-population of 18 million, to the US ownership; Australia had about 1/6th the per capita gun numbers than the US currently has.

Do you lock the doors of your house when you leave? Those locks are useless to a thief with a crowbar.

It's not the tool, it's bad developer practices. See my other comment on multiple people editing the same interdependent constraints. Never a good idea, even in obj-c or swift code.

Complaints happen; it doesn't mean the complainers are using the tool correctly.

But it does raise a possibility: Maybe the Xcode team could make it easier for a developer to do something along the lines of checking out a single scene to work on, at least putting other developers on notice that they will be risking merge issues if they work on the same scene.

Normally issues can be avoided by just coordinating work such that people aren't editing the same code at the same time. This goes for XIB or storyboard "code" too. Yes maybe Xcode could do something, but that something would probably address developer behavior more than it would address merging per se.
This brings into question how bad the drugs actually are. Hermann Göring, lauded fighter ace, rose high up in the Nazi command. He was addicted to morphine. He didn't perform well enough in the war, but apart from the whole being-a-Nazi thing, one would say he had a rather successful career. So it really kills the whole "injected opiates will ruin your life" line. Same for Paul Erdős and amphetamines. Though amphetamines might have more long-term damaging issues (psychosis or heart issues) whereas opiates are relatively benign.

This should just re-enforce the truth that the real problem with many drugs is simply legality (which causes high prices which leads non-wealth users into a spiral). With an open market, anyone with a minimum wage job could afford to be on opiates.

And in a military? Seems like a given. If you have soldiers that are feeling bad or otherwise having a crisis of confidence, opiates are a fairly good way to assuage that. To make them feel everything will turn out OK. Along with speed to give them lots of energy, and an environment conducive to actually doing stuff, it seems like a good military strategy (ignoring long-term effects on soldiers).

The only real question is if they made large strategic mistakes due to the opiates and thinking things will be alright no matter what. Though this article indicates a late date for Hitler's use, and it was much earlier he decided to attack the Soviet Union, so...

Secrets of a Hiring Manager Turned Career Coach Book Giveaway
CD's are terrible investments at the moment. A 1 year CD doesn't offer a much better rate than a FDIC money market account, and I certainly would not invest in a longer term CD at the moment.

When interest rates tanked, I moved all of my CD's to money market accounts when the term was up.

What is key is to only open a money market account at an institution with a long term track record of staying above average on rates compared to thier competition. You want to avoid the institutions which constantly raise and (and then lower) thier rates. Bankrate.com is a good way to research these.

LSB is actually somewhat to blame for prolonging sysvinit's lifespan, in its specification of standard initscript functions (which ultimately were seldom used and laughable compared to /etc/rc.subr in BSD-land) and the awkward dependency headers that required a preprocessor like insserv(8) to scan them.

Of the 4 basic emotions, missing only: fear/surprise.

"A commonly-held belief, first proposed by Dr Paul Ekman, posits there are six basic emotions which are universally recognised and easily interpreted through specific facial expressions, regardless of language or culture. These are: happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust."

Recent research melds these into just 4, combining fear/surprise and anger/disgust.

You should use lists to organize discussions around topics you are interested it.

For example - I can create a list of lead-runners on Machine Learning and add the people I follow who are well-informed on the topic of Machine Learning to this list.

Then when I view my Twitter Feed - I can choose to instead look at a feed from a list. If I want to get "What's Going On" in Machine Learning, I visit that list and see a feed from these leaders of Machine Learning.

Do this for all of your interests and you can organize your feed to get a quick grasp of what's going on everywhere instead of being blasted by noise on your main feed.

However, the reverse view raises similar questions. How do you know what runlevel 5 is? (Hint: Someone with "a passing knowledge of Unix" knows that there's no coherent definition of run level 5. It's "power the system off" on some Unices, for example. Someone without a passing knowledge of Unix is probably at a complete loss as to what "level 5" could be.)

In actual fact, the multi-user boot versus single-user boot notion goes back to pretty much the beginning (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10207674), and the name "multi-user" is not exactly difficult to cope with if one has a Unix background. It's not novel or a systemd-ism. It's been a Solaris SMF milestone name for over a decade. It was a concept used in the 4.1 Berkeley Distribution manual for init(8) in 1981.

I agree that coding bootcamps are a great source. Most of them are incredibly supportive and have instructors, mentors and TAs that are generous with their time. I've seen a few also have free meetup groups that are open to all, not just students, to learn a quick project in a couple of hours.

Also, to echo @hitsurume the coding bootcamps do have easy ways to pay, most have flexible payment plans. @saluki has a great point as well to start with HTML and CSS. I agree.

Other than that, what works for me is practice, practice, practice. I practice in the programming language and actually writing out code with pencil and paper.

You can sell bitcoin futures. That's equivalent to a short.

Ie you and the counterparty agree on a price today to sell them bitcoins a fixed time later. If both of you keep honouring any margin calls you agree on, the risk is fairly low. No third party necessary.

But yes, it is a more complicated transaction than the spot market.
