I feel like many people don't actually read or listen to what he is saying other than through soundbites...

> commit war crimes by murdering and torturing the civilian families of terrorists.

He has said that the terrorist groups don't play by any rules that civilized societies do and so we must crush them. War is ugly and nothing will change that. I think it's a stretch to say he wishes to "murder and torture" anyone. He is clearly saying we have to crush them.

> ban all Muslims from entering the country

This along with the next thing you say are the primary bits of conjecture that have been spun in the media to paint Trump as a bigot, racist, islamaphobe etc... If you again go back and listen to what he's talking about, you'll hear him say that he wants to TEMPORARILY ban all Muslims coming from certain regions of the world as refugees (syria, north africa, etc). He also uses Europe as an example of failed refugee policies where millions of people are flooding in and unfortunately that includes bad actors because there is no way to properly vet them. So no, he has never once said to "ban all muslims". He is saying we should not let refugee's in until we know how to vet them, handle them, ensure that they WILL assimilate, and not have what's going on in Europe happen.

> deport 3% of the country; and build a wall between us and Mexico.

We have millions of people in our country ILLEGALLY that leech off our social systems, don't contribute monetarily (taxes) and send their money back to their home countries. Many of them that come in illegally ARE affiliated with drugs, crime etc. Not all of them (as he said) but it doesn't matter. The question becomes at what point do we decide we are going to enforce our own laws or do we just abolish our laws completely? What is wrong with building a wall at our border? What do you say to the millions of people who come into our country legally and through the proper channels often taking time, and effort to come in? Almost every country in the world has some form of this including the United States. News flash: we already have walls in many places along the border. Ask anyone who grew up in a south western state where drug tunnels of increasing complexity are routinely discovered, or who has worked in a hospital where the illegals have their children whether or not it's a logical thing to build a wall and I think you'll get a consistent viewpoint. Again check the soundbite. He never once says "all Mexicans are rapists" as the idiot rioters in California (waving MEXICAN flags for heck sake) have tried to make you believe.

edit: I don't agree with everything he says but especially the last two bits which are the primary reasons people have mislabeled him as racist, bigot etc, are simply not true. I do think people underestimate him greatly so we'll see what happens.
Mentioned this to a doctor in the family and their instant reply back was "Lead poisoning medically results in lower IQ". Then found some info about it here: http://www.environmentalhealthnews.org/ehs/newscience/iq-eff...
Do you suspect that lead to be distributed in a way that would confound the results? In the absence of a theory, I'd expect lead to be fairly evenly distributed amongst cities in that particular way.
There are a few reasons:

1. Trying to game relevance. They have stated that sales contribute to this. Take your custom order and funnel it through a listing of something you trying to push.

2. Some of these are coupons and discount promotions, etsy doesn't give sellers a good way to promote this so they abuse listings to do it
> Yes, you can reduce the amount paid out by making it not a universal basic income scheme any more. But that rather misses the point.

If you consider as a method to introduce an income floor it makes sense. At 100k+ I really don't need any sort of basic income. A senior citizen getting paid social security is already getting the money out of that bucket (arguably that bucket should be phased out and everyone should be entitled to their basic income instead, perhaps with extra breaks for seniors).

I really don't support just giving out 30k a year to everyone. I can see the logic in giving out money to get everyone to that level (or whatever sensible number). I also think it's sensible to say that the benfit doesn't just go away if you start a job making 35k a year, but it does start to reduce as your income goes up. This gives you an incentive to work, even if your job isn't that high paying, but makes the program cheaper by not giving out money to people who really don't need it.

You're assuming that a site's traffic and content change rate grow at the same (or similar) rates. This is almost always true of media properties, but not necessarily of popular single-contributor blogs or brochureware for business, organizations, political campaigns, etc. Many of those are powered by WordPress or Drupal, but they could exist as static sites, as their traffic level is not correlated with their rate of change.

He seems to maintain a sense of wonder that I find surprising for a pilot. For me, I think the daily routine would become droll and familiar after working it for a year or so. And I can't imagine how hard it would be to sit in a cockpit doing nothing for 12 hours while the plane flies in a straight line over the ocean, and then do it again the next day, and the next. It seems so boring.

Lead poisoning is especially strange. I'm convinced that I have it, in contrast to the bipolar diagnosis I've been given. I used to do competitive shooting where I'd practice five days out of the week and compete on average of maybe once each weekend. The projectiles we shot were entirely lead, there was never any push for cleaning our hands, and the lead trap was never, ever cleaned (lead dust yay).

Problem is, every time I describe the problem and the reasoning behind it, no doctor takes me seriously to the point of laughing sometimes. It's ridiculous that lead's been researched so much, yet no doctor I've talked to understands it enough to even humor the idea. Not trying to self diagnose, but a little bit of "Hmm... yeah, maybe", would be nice.

I've also reached out to researchers in the field. The modern ones who've done extensive research have all moved to different fields and aren't willing to help out. Really frustrating. If anybody has any sources for help, I'd love it.

Historically, "civil rights" has referred to protecting the Constitutional rights of Americans. None of the things you mention implicate Constitutional rights. More troubling is your unstated implication that anyone who opposes open borders globalization/cultural relativism necessarily wants to take away civil rights for Americans.

Ontario has a third justification:

As a society, we value the idea of everyone having access to health care, and if we make medicine a free market, the only people who get it will be those willing to pay the most.

Thus, we specifically reject the argument that providing health care to fewer people who pay more results in a greater benefit.

The reasons for our belief vary from completely subjective moral arguments to arguments that society overall benefits from having a healthy citizenry, just as society overall benefits from having a healthy infrastructure.

I don’t need to debate the specific reasons with you, I’m just pointing out that it is neither #1 nor #2. We certainly think there are people willing to pay more, and that those willing to pay more are correctly valuing it form themselves. We don’t believe that those unwilling to pay more don’t understand the value of medicine.

In the end, not everyone agrees with your perspective on value. Many do. I understand there’s this gigantic country south of us who believe medicine should be a free market, and that many of its citizens think its health care system is providing better value than ours.

But I insist that your views, while valid from your perspective, do not represent a universal truth.

From the paper:

> Our second identification strategy, introduced by Troesken (2006) and Clay et al. (2014), exploits the fact that more lead particulate will leach into water with low pH levels. If lead exposure has a causal effect on homicide, more acidic water should be correlated with higher homicide rates only in cities that used lead water pipes.

So there's more causal evidence than appears in the Mother Jones article. The two references for their "identification strategy" don't seem particularly well-cited though. [1][2]

Trump was the mainstream candidate, no surprise there.

The idea that a far-right extreme conservative evangelical was going to beat Hillary was, as Trump would say, laughable.

Trump may also not beat Hillary, but he does have mainstream appeal and can connect with a much wider audience.

What will be interesting is how Trump now changes his outwards approach as he tries to win over the mainstream, swing voters, even some democrats who don't want an establishment figure, instead of registered republican voters that he has been targeting until now.

>Sigh, I lost some money on betting Trump would not being the nominee (so take my political acumen with a grain of salt)

Trump is NOT the nominee. Not yet. He still hasn't gotten enough votes to become nominee, and if he doesn't, then they go to a brokered convention, where most likely Kasich will win. That's why Kasich is still in the race even though he has very few delegates.

You may still win that bet.

>After Indiana, Trump will inevitably have enough pledged delegates to win on the first ballot, so that's that.

You don't know that. Kasich is still in the race for a reason. All they have to do is keep Trump from getting to that magic number of delegates, and then they go to a brokered convention. It's a bit of a long shot, but it's still possible, especially with Cruz out of the way.

No one can prove conclusively whether illegal immigrants are a net drain or a net benefit. But I can tell you one thing. Forciblyremoving 3% of the population is going to have negative economic consequences. It is also going to be hugely expensive and nearly impossible to actually pull off. There is no the way the benefit will outweigh the costs here.
It's not the prevailing sentiment "on HN". It's the prevailing sentiment among virtually all experts everywhere. I can make a list of those experts, but I'll leave it to someone else, so as not to bogart an lay-up high-quality upvote magnet comment.

The reason this is a problem is simply that the Linux maintainer is obstinately wrong. Theodore Ts'o was on HN a year or so ago, and in defending the current design (and man pages), made some incoherent arguments, such as that urandom might be OK for nonces, but not key generation (a head-scratcher for anyone familiar with cryptography engineering).

I have no answer to the first one. Since urandom is periodically reseeded, I believe tptacek and others - at least they provide arguments that justify their position. The other side seems to be just silent.

As for "Also, why are the Ruby devs so dead set on the manual page?" - because it makes sense. If I didn't know much about random number generation, I'd rely on manuals and most widely adopted software. That means: urandom says it's not good for that usage, while openssl is used by almost every system. If you used a dependency that documents it does X and someone tells you that actually it does Y, but you have no ability to prove it either way, would you listen to the docs or random-internet-person.
Keep in mind Angular is a framework where, when you pass it a callback function, it will sometimes behave differently depending on what you named the function's parameters. @_@
