So if a command economy isn't enough, perhaps it has to actually represent a form of community control, do you believe the USSR was any more socialist? What makes something actually socialist?

The understanding I've developed of socialism is of worker ownership of the means of production. The state at best can only claim to somehow speak for the workers in a top down manner, and I think that inevitably fails. (Which is not to say I'm advocating it here in a decentralized form but I'm much more sympathetic)

You tell me the data is misrepresented, please tell me how? The data in the charts are accurate and this is from an esteemed economist.

Actually read the article I linked and he discusses how the standard economics literature has completely misrepresented the impact of immigration on native workers.

>Finally,	Peri	and	Yasenov	look	at	workers	aged	16-61,	and	this	is	a	particularly

Also when people talk about the wealth inequality in the US and how wages have been stagnant for 30 years

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

Look at the chart and notice how in the 1980s immigration begins to ramp up

http://www.epi.org/publication/charting-wage-stagnation/

Notice that in 1979 wealth inequality skyrockets, which is logically consistent with the idea that immigration is wealth redistribution from displaced workers to their employers.

edit: look at the graph and compare the gap in wealth inequality. In 1995 when immigration is slown down wealth inequality stays constant. When immigration is ramped up, inequality grows like crazy.

edit: for whatever it's worth I made the connection between wealth inequality and immigration. so try not to use that to say my source is bad

I see your point but personally I think what your brother is doing is awesome. Assimilation is a two way street and I think American culture benefits when it assimilates aspects of other cultures. I imagine your brother is exposing others around him to a culture they wouldn't have experienced otherwise. If people are better off when exposed to new and different people and cultures, then I think he's doing them a service!

> I honestly wonder what social media managers with, say, a dozen or more social media accounts (not just Twitter) actually use.

I've wondered this as well and I've come to the horrible conclusion that many do it manually. Which is a real shame. Listening to people who do a TON of social media stuff (like Gary Vee) all seem to say they just log in and out of accounts constantly.

LastPass probably makes this easier but that's still gotta be a pain.

Psychologists Throw Open the “File Drawer”
You've just described the American electorate. People get elected largely on the basis of who gets enough money and marketing. Big companies and wealthy individuals outspend most of voting America combined. So, elected officials work for them instead. Overtime, result was a one sided, rigged econkmy benefiting the rich and elites almost exclusively that we call a plutonomy.

In other words, what you propose is very dangerous and needs more review/revision to trust.
> You will get to choose between using paper [...]

Let's give imagination a run:

After 10 years of FBI cases where child molesters and terrorist houses were raided only to find they were able to shred evidence last minute, the FBI decided that they don't have time, energy, money and will-power to sit down all day long and play with 10,000 pages-long paper puzzles.

Therefore they asked congress to pass a law where every company selling shredding machines will attach a little tiny camera to their device. Upon shredding, a photo will be taken of what you shred. This photo will be obviously securely transferred and stored in FBI vault, just in case, locked with each shredder's individual key until proper Court gives a warrant to give out encryption key and decrypt photos of documents that have been previously destroyed.

There you have it!

It would do a lot of good if more people were aware of the tragedy of the commons.

Here's the key excerpt of the full controversial essay taken from http://www.garretthardinsociety.org/articles/art_tragedy_of_...

...

The tragedy of the commons develops in this way. Picture a pasture open to all. It is to be expected that each herdsman will try to keep as many cattle as possible on the commons. Such an arrangement may work reasonably satisfactorily for centuries because tribal wars, poaching, and disease keep the numbers of both man and beast well below the carrying capacity of the land. Finally, however, comes the day of reckoning, that is, the day when the long-desired goal of social stability becomes a reality. At this point, the inherent logic of the commons remorselessly generates tragedy.

As a rational being, each herdsman seeks to maximize his gain. Explicitly or implicitly, more or less consciously, he asks, "What is the utility to me of adding one more animal to my herd?" This utility has one negative and one positive component.

1) The positive component is a function of the increment of one animal. Since the herdsman receives all the proceeds from the sale of the additional animal, the positive utility is nearly +1.

2) The negative component is a function of the additional overgrazing created by one more animal. Since, however, the effects of overgrazing are shared by all the herdsmen, the negative utility for any particular decision-making herdsman is only a fraction of -1.

Adding together the component partial utilities, the rational herdsman concludes that the only sensible course for him to pursue is to add another animal to his herd. And another; and another.... But this is the conclusion reached by each and every rational herdsman sharing a commons. Therein is the tragedy. Each man is locked into a system that compels him to increase his herd without limit--in a world that is limited. Ruin is the destination toward which all men rush, each pursuing his own best interest in a society that believes in the freedom of the commons. Freedom in a commons brings ruin to all.

A perspective on the cities of the Arab world that I found helpful:[1]

An old Arab saying goes, 'Cairo writes, Beirut publishes and Baghdad reads.' These three capitals, along with Damascus, were long the hubs of culture and education in the Arab world. ... a new set of cities started to emerge in the Gulf, establishing themselves as the new centers of the Arab world. Abu Dhabi, its sister emirates of Dubai and Sharjah and the Qatari capital, Doha ...

Top 15 Garbage collection interview questions and programs
It's not completely a false dichotomy.

A casual Google search says that "happy" == "feeling or showing pleasure or contentment".

The more informed you are, the more problems you will see and the less content you will be with the state of things. Problems aren't particularly conducive to happiness.

That said, ignorance is not necessarily bliss. It is better to be informed and be able to protect oneself from possible problems than it is to continue to pretend everything is fine and fall victim to eventual problems.
Has anyone given Atom a lengthy comparison in performance on a Macbook Retina versus non-retina machines?

I've owned 3 Macbook Retinas to date and every single one has had sluggish behavior in many apps. Google Chrome and Electron apps seem to fall into that mix for me. I've yet to give Atom a lengthy test on a non-retina machine, but I can say that I definitely get the performance issues with Atom in regards to app and document behavior and type latency. Plugins just make it even worse. In fact, some plugins like linters and live markdown preview bring Atom to a point where it's literally unusable.

What the Atom contributors have done is quite amazing and the app has come a long way. I'd go as far as saying it has everything I want in an editor for a front end developer. I would use it as my primary editor if the type latency could disappear.

As of right now I basically just keep Atom up to date with my SublimeText preferences and give it a try on each release.
> Immigrants are a self-selecting group

I find this offensive, as an immigrant. Also, my mother (and sister) worked in a sweat shop (they needle thread tags on imported/fake clothes underneath a laundromat) to put food on the table while going to school. My mother didn't "sacrifice" everything for us, she worked hard; became a programmer; and didn't allow my sibling and I to work less then her.

First time I had a steak, I was 18 years old and working as a waiter...the steak was $5 if you were staff. Prior, my understanding of meat product was salami and hot dogs.

It's great when you have the ability to go to law/med school but that doesn't work for all folks. Immigrants have a tireless work ethic because they know what it's like to be hungry. As a kid, I slept on top of a pig pen (it was the coolest place on the farm) and waited two hours to get milk for my family (before they woke up). That strength, commitment, and desire is what drives immigrants to achieve. Joking about law school is not really an option where I come from.
Why not draw a comparison to the Oregon occupiers? Because, as I said above, his point is about "committing worthwhile civil disobedience -- an opportunity to do some good while risking legal consequences". Everybody agrees that Rosa Parks' deed was good, thus it serves as a good example.

I come from Spain, and the situation was very easy: Spain's cities have a midwest-like cost of living. A programmer there, right out of school, is what we call a mileurista: Someone with a take home of about a thousand Euros a month. In comparison, my first job in the midwest paid three times that. And that's the difference at the beginning of a career. Nobody programming over there will make more than, maybe, 3500 euros a month, unless they start their own company. Last year, I went past 18K a month, in a stable, 9-5 job. The market is so good, I could quit my job any day I want, and I get to choose among a bunch of great alternatives, including bay area companies that hire remotes. In comparison, Spain has about 20% unemployment.

If anything, I would ask other programmers from Spain why in the world aren't they leaving!

The better option is to make sure that everyone in your country that has the POTENTIAL to be an Elon Musk gets the education and skills they need to become him. Elon went to many prestigious private schools and had early childhood access to expensive computers, which is a common thread in MANY founders and current executives and VCs in the startup world.

Meanwhile I know a lot of smart people who don't go to college in the US because they don't want to be saddled with $100k in debt. And a lot more who don't persue higher degrees because their parents aren't poor enough to receive assistance but not rich enough to pay for college. We do a terrible job of helping people in America live up to their potential - its the best country to be born rich in, but the worst first-world country to be born poor in.

Hill Climbing Algorithm and Artificial Intelligence – Computerphile
The STEM extension is a recent (2008) development, probably motivated by the fact that H1-Bs are now a lottery so students need multiple shots to have a chance at winning.

Back when Musk would've applied, that wasn't a problem, he would've gotten an H1-B pretty easily.

While you can go straight from OPT to green card, getting an H1-B first is much better since it's dual intent, so you're not prevented from traveling during the green card application (which you would be on OPT).

At some point in time you have to deal with the reality that there isn't equivocation. I know some people have hard times dealing with it, and thus always pull the trick of "but look over here at this". It just doesn't work, but people don't seem to understand that it doesn't work.
For this trial, the placebo and treatment groups are both composed of healthy volunteers that are exposed to a controlled amount of an attenuated dengue virus (called rDEN2Δ30). All groups in the trial are told the risks of exposure to the virus. Because the virus is attenuated (weakened), the risk of severe sickness is very very low.

The point of using an attenuated virus is that this is a "challenge model" that is supposed to simulate an exposure to the real virus closely enough that one can judge if the vaccine is likely working, without exposing the patients to the risks of infection by the full-strength virus. CNN did a much better job than Wired in explaining this. http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/16/health/dengue-vaccine-effectiv...

Therefore, the fact that the placebo group had certain levels of various symptoms (according to the article, 80% had a rash, 20% had nausea, etc.) is still important data for other scientists who are trying to judge if they should use the rDEN2Δ30 challenge model in their candidate vaccine trials. It's not intended to provide data on what natural dengue fever is like, which I agree would be unethical and unnecessary.
>> Immigrants are a self-selecting group

> I find this offensive, as an immigrant.

I am baffled as to what part of that is offensive. That immigrants choose to immigrate and put in the hard work to make that work out? Or are you objecting to the ideas that there are high barriers to immigration?

Maybe I am just misreading something, but I am confused.
There's a great story about Pablo Picasso that, while I'm not sure if it's actually true, has a lot of meaning for me, and serves as a reminder about hard work and success.

One day near the end of his life, Mr. Picasso was dining at a café in France when an American tourist, and fan of his, approaches him. Bewildered, the tourist asks for a photograph, to which Picasso agrees. They get friendly, and before long, the tourist asks for a sketch. Being a big fan, and a man who's clearly done his homework on art, Picasso agrees, pulls out his fountain pen, and quickly sketches a portrait of the tourist on a napkin. The tourist, amazed, thanks Picasso and reaches for the napkin portrait, but Picasso moves it away, and without skipping a beat, says, "that'll be 15,000 francs." The tourist is shocked. He says, "but that doodle took you five seconds!" Picasso smiles, and replies, "no, it took me five decades."

You never hear about the work that goes into success, even the overnight success stories. Overnight success stories don't happen in one night. The easy answer is there are no easy answers. Keep working, keep pushing, and keep believing in the chance and the opportunity of the day before you. That's way more than many others on this planet ever get, so make the most of it.
You told them you wanted to leave before they fired you? Is that right?
"Go channels are reasonably similar to Django ones"

Really? Only at a surface glance. Having used channels in both Go and in Clojure, I would say they are nothing like Django channels. The only thing they share is they are like a fifo pipe.

In Go and Clojure channels are an in-process async construct. They have nothing to do with the network at all. (There may be libraries that expose their network connections in the language as channels, but the channel itself is completely in process).

In these languages there is no 'routing' that needs to be set up. There is no 'linearisation' problem. They are first class and can be passed in and out of functions.

Also most importantly, pulling from or pushing to a channel appear to the programmer as a blocking operation, while under the hood the language inverts control to create a non-blocking situation. Send and receive on the Django channels look to be non-blocking and appear to the programmer to be non-blocking (correct me if I'm wrong, please).

Saying all this I'm not opposed to calling Django channels, channels. Channels is a generic term, and what is being done here in Django can be very much described as a channel. Just remember that they are actually very different to the "channels" as used in Go.

Infrared sensors aren't magic. Anything that fits on an airplane has a severely limited field of view and low resolution. Weather conditions can degrade it far more than radar. It may be able to give you bearing and azimuth to a target but you're not going to get accurate data on range, speed, or heading. It's not like radar where that data can be calculated from the return delay and Doppler shift. If you only see a blob of pixels it's pretty hard to distinguish between a nearby small airplane moving away versus a far away large airplane moving towards you.
