Xenophobia starts where multiculturalism fails. IMHO European multiculturalism has failed not in its idea, but in its implementation.

Then implementation of multiculturalism is always in a state of partial failure. I guess it always has "bugs?" Intolerance always seems to seep in, even from the most vocal proponents of tolerance. In fact, there seems to be a correlation between how stridently one advocates tolerance and how much intolerance seeps in with it.

I agree that they are. If you're about to miss your exit with a passenger, you might take a risky swerve across a lane to avoid getting a bad rating. Having said that, I still don't think there are lots of Uber drivers racking up tickets, because that gets you fired from your job. So it's a problem for employment, but not a salary factor - by luck or skill, any given Uber driver will still have ~0 tickets.

It seems like we're entirely way off base here thanks to a piece that seems like a well written piece of propaganda by a media consultant.

One better topic is: In our society you need a wealthy patron to help protect you if someone posts defamation or something illegally obtained from you. If someone stole and posted my sextape, I would need 10 million dollars. What happens to society when laws can only be enforced by the wealthy?
Agreed. A moderation approach and applied merit could foster a healthy community as well as innovation with this.
I'd say that bicycle means only two-wheeled, as opposed to tricycles and quads. Mopeds legally need pedals, which this does not have. Bicycles do not need pedals as various types don't have them. (I see kids at the beach every day on small bikes without pedals.) So without pedals it isn't a moped. And without any of the equipment to make it a street worthy or even a legal motorcycle, I call it a bicycle.
In my experience async/await style code is much less verbose than callback style code. Like 50% less. Async/await style is also much easier to follow, especially for non-node developers, since it makes asynchronous code appear as if it is synchronous.

That said I like to use the caolan/async library when dealing with async callbacks and that adds a ton of verbiage overhead in exchange for a more understandable flow of the data (in my opinion).
After an exchange here (and fra answering that very question as well) the Pebble support team explicitly wrote this in a mail:

--

So Usage Logs send step count, and sleep count, to Pebble's servers. Usage Logs are also necessary for Voice responses. The voice is sent to our voice service, transcribed and sent back (this voice data is not stored at any point).

You can use the Pebble Health app with the Usage Logs switch off and your data will not be sent to Pebble's servers. You can also sync that data to either Google Fit or Apple Health if you choose while still keeping the Usage Logs switched off.

--

In other words: 'Usage logs' seems to be the all-in-one switch that sends the data to the cloud, everything Peble Health related should work if you disable that. Ignoring the limitation mentioned: You won't be able to use voice replies.

So I'd say that the Pebble is a really decent choice for a privacy concerned person.

On that note: I certainly hope that Alexa can be disabled on the Pebble Core..
"Trying to escape" is not a measure of poverty, so be aware that you've changed the goalposts. I want to know how your phrase "Exactly. They are able to trade with every other country in the world, and yet Cubans are still living in poverty." is meaningful.

But let's go with that. What are the numbers, and what does "escape" mean?

Does it make sense to talk about the number of Puerto Ricans who are leaving Puerto Rico, when they are US citizens who have the right to migrate internally? ("Puerto Ricans leaving island for U.S. in record numbers" - http://edition.cnn.com/2016/05/02/americas/puerto-rico-exodu... )

Does it make sense to compare the numbers of Cubans who reach US soil under the "Wet-Foot, Dry-Foot Policy", vs. from other countries, which don't have that privilege, and are farther away? Do you include large number of Haitians who escaped to the DR?

Do you think you're being played by the US government, because Cubans who reach the US directly from Cuba are considered refugees, while those who travel via another country are considered aliens and subjected to US immigration rules? Since the US prohibits commercial traffic to/from Cuba, this incentivizes those who come by boat.

From http://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/caribbean-immigrants-... :

> In 2009, the vast majority of Caribbean immigrants were from Cuba (28.6 percent), the Dominican Republic (22.9 percent), Jamaica (18.8 percent), Haiti (15.5 percent), and Trinidad and Tobago (6.4 percent).

Do you classify all of those as people who escaped their country for the US? Or was it only the Cubans you consider to have escaped?

And finally, Cuba relaxed its restrictions on foreign travel a few years ago. See http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2012/10/16/cuba-tra... .

For that matter, is isn't only Cuba which places restrictions on foreign travel. We need only look towards Snowden, whose passport was revoked, to see an example of how the US government restricts foreign travel by its citizens. The US can also revoke the passport for non-payment of child support, for certain drug traffickers, for persons convicted of sex tourism, and other reasons.
Exactly. You need to keep really good control over your code structure to avoid callback hell. And again at one point you will end up in a situation where you will need to declare functions inside a main function, etc.

That's why I noted that I've never seen a callback implementation that is more readable than promises.
Welcome Adora, Nicole, Elizabeth, Case and Robby
A fun discussion but this case isn't about the first amendment.
I don't think it's ironic; macros enable new syntax, so you'll see it much less than "regular" Rust code, and so it will look a little strange. What parts of that link do you think are "meta" vs "actual"? It's not like we just added syntax for the fun of it :)

"Just embed a Lisp" is very far from a "just", and, most non-lispers find Lisp very hard to read, specifically because there is no syntax.

Thanks. I tried to go all digital a few years ago -- getting rid of nearly all my 1000+ paper books -- only to conclude I'm generally better off reading paper and nearly always better off reading important things on paper. This because paper has a higher barrier to entry (I think of it as "slow information"), because the cookie-cutter sizing of tablets and ereaders screws up sizing (of code in particular) and, frankly, because I get tired of looking at screens and struggle to resist context switching. That said, I like to have an electronic copy of everything for easy referencing and corpus work.

The subject of paper vs digital is of particular interest to me because I volunteer with www.savenypl.org, a group created to thwart the NYPL's efforts to gut the stacks at the 42nd Street Library and sell of two branch libraries (we succeeded, mostly). I am not as skeptical of keeping books off site as some of our members, but I think many libraries are misguided in their rush to remove paper books, for reasons of both reading efficacy and surveillance. I know many technologists share these concerns. Richard Stallman was kind enough to help a few years ago (https://stallman.org/save-the-nypl.html). Now it would be good to have additional technical people weigh in on the issue of digitization / paper book removal.

May I add you to the list of such people and / or keep you posted?
It is sad that your have such low morality that you would steal merely because you have the opportunity to do so. That says a lot about you.

Can you elaborate on how one's perception of randomness is subject to cultural bias? You do have to realize that frequent runs of repeated characters are expected to appear in a truly random sequence, but that's more a matter of basic reasoning (or perhaps education) than culture.
except that having effectively unlimited amounts of money to keep throwing at a lawsuit is a depressingly good predictor of success.
It seems to me that these things happen somewhat regularly in the open source community, because it was built upon that concept.
I am not talking about hiding anything. If anything, promises/async/await IS hiding.

When I see "callback hell mumbo-jumbo" - it just takes some time to untangle it, assign proper context to each function, and flatten out it inside proper object to keep that context in. And instead of anonymous functions in callbacks you just use object methods.

Bonus: you got something that is so easy to unit test.

I see a lot of callback-hellish code, but it comes from people who's experience was in python/java/php/etc, where typically you write linear code (threads are also linear code in essence) And in JS you have to think about frames of code - this is a bit different, but it is not a bug, it is a feature.
Some materials scientist must have already done their thesis on this problem: optimally span two spatially separate beams with a homogeneous material transmitting some impedance designated force between them and subjected to increasing mass reduction. Given a ceramic material (strong in compression) we'll assume we end up with some sort of bone matrix [1]; a bit like we see here for this 3d printed frame. But given metals what do we observe?

It was ironically Chris Sacca (Of Twitter and Uber fame) who said in a Bill Simmons podcast in regards to Trump something akin to:

"The American people trust Billionaires implicitly because they are successful and therefore worthy of admiration".

Again not a direct quote and it wasn't said of the context of "I believe this is true" but just an observation he had made. I'll take it a step further and say Americans think wealthy and successful people are implicitly better then everybody else even if they received their wealth and success from their parents.

The cover is so catchy. I like it.
How do people handle shutdown of applications while async/await stuff is still executing? I do a lot of desktop app and need to stop executing when it closes. With the async stuff it's really hard to tell what's still in the queue to be executed and should be waited for.

Is the whole pattern more for server stuff where you can assume there will be no shutdowns?
There are more factors than just goods and sales though, like the independence and autonomy of the country/community, it's level of infrastructure, social development, etc. Local producers can help with those factors, while foreign producers dumping reject goods won't.

I'll plug "scopes & closures" and "this & object prototypes" as well. Fairly quick reads and you'll understand JS better than your average developer afterwards.
Sure, there are ways to "break" it. The point here is to demonstrate that if you try to intuitively go for manual "non-randomness", you won't be as random as you think, sometimes surprisingly off from ~50%.

Actually the quickest way I found to "break" it and hover at ~50% is to simply aim for the dead space between the "F" and "D" keys. If it was using non-adjacent keys like "F" and "J" instead it would be better for its purpose. "Q" and "P" might work even better since it would mostly force you to use 2 hands, making it much harder to score close to 50%.
Wish there was a mobile version. Can't play it on my phone.
Can you include a good description of reading macros? I'm still looking for good explanation with examples of their power.
Should large(r) cooperations avoid using Node.js for back ends?
There seems that notion that node.js makes it easier for frontend developers to contribute to backends.

And since they are more likely to not take all of concerns of a backend into account, node.js should be avoided.

Do you think using a different language as barrier of entry like i.e. python or go will help ?

Do you think that node.js community is actually on average less senior than the python or the go community ?
In addition, many search-initiated purchases will be postponed, not abandoned. I'm sure they lose a ton of sales during this period, but I doubt it's as high as 90%.
$160 for a week of using a car is insane especially when Uber is already making money off the work she is doing with the car.

$16/hr with no insurance, no benefits, no nothing is NOT good pay. Yeah it's more than minimum wage but so what? Need I remind you she's driving, literally putting her life at risk at this job?

You really believe $16/hr for driving people around is good/reasonable/generous pay? Even $21/hr? Give me a break.

> That law limited religious freedom.

Well, sure, in that it allowed powerful private entities to engage in religious discrimination adversely affecting the practical religious freedom of less powerful entities and individuals, but in terms of government power, it limited government action more than it was prior to the law (which is why the right pushed it).

> It says that if you can prove a compelling interest, and can prove a law is the least restrictive way to do something, you can do it even though it steps on a person's constitutional right to free exercise

No, it didn't. It said that if you couldn't do that, you couldn't enforce a law affecting religious exercise; it didn't allow government anything that was previously prohibited. (This, in practice, tightened the standards on government from what had been established in case law.

> Medicaid and Obamacare are not legal programs to begin with in a strictly constitutional sense.

Ruling that either the ACA as a whole or Medicaid was unconstitutional would be, while both radically inconsistent with generations of case law and hard to justify textually, at least coherent. Ruling that it was constitutional for Congress to establish Medicaid, initially set standards for participation, fund it by annual appropriations, and set new standards and funding, but not apply the new standards to states that wanted to continue operating under the old standards and only take the share of funding that was attributed to the caseload which would be covered by the old standards was completely incoherent from any perspective related to applying any kind of Constitutional principal, and clear and unmistakeable arbitrary legislation from the bench.

> The argument premised on the infinitesimal chance of our being the first in an infinite timeframe

I'm not sure where you're getting the infinite time frame requirement, besides previously in this thread (from someone else). I think that's an artifact of this thread, not a requirement of the "simulation scenario".

Assuming we could accurately model one universe to our age within another universe of similar laws (a sentence which contains many assumptions on both sides of the proposal), we are presented with a situation where we are either the base universe, or the modeled one, and without a way to determine which, we have a 50% chance of being in other. I see the main argument as this but scaled with a few assumptions, the biggest of which and the one that really allows for exponential growth, being that the root universe need not have the same constraints as the simulated universe.

I'm not totally sold on the simulation scenario idea being true, as there's a lot of assumptions that could break down and make it impossible, but as of yet I'm not sure I've seen any evidence suggesting it's impossible at any scale. Then again, I'm treating the chance that we could be in a simulation as distinct from the likelihood that we are in a simulation, so I might not even be arguing the same thing (although I don't think the difference really matters).
It's just possible I was joking. Or, I don't know, maybe I like to advertise my future criminal exploits on a web site I post to using my real name.
I don't think it's marketing teams. There are at least a half dozen CoreOS employees/contributors commenting here, plus a couple of known allies. On the "other side" there's Bryan, me, and one person who seems to be an ex-employee. AFAIK none of them are in marketing, or even in coordination with marketing. Certainly, I often get flak from my company's official mouthpieces for saying things that conflict with their preferred talking points. They wish they could control what I say.

Mostly I think this is a matter of people naturally standing up for their friends and colleagues, which is a wonderful thing, vs. people who have specific concerns about The Right Way to do either technical or non-technical things. No coordination or collusion is necessary. You can see exactly the same thing happen for every company or project that's discussed here, or on Twitter, or wherever. Try criticizing a YC portfolio company some time. Not all of the people arguing with you will admit their affiliations, and of course the downvotes are all anonymous anyway. Just remember, the more skin someone has in the game, the more tempted they'll be to cross that vague line into astroturf. All the rest of us can do is admit our affiliations and biases, and hope that people will get their heads out of the ad hominem gutter enough to reach rational conclusions about the facts being presented.

SEEKING WORK

Location: Vancouver, Canada

Remote: Yes

I'm a C++ expert with over 15 years professional programming experience in the games industry (EA, THQ, several smaller independent developers). I have extensive realtime 3D graphics experience as well as expertise in optimization, debugging and console development.

I'm currently focused on Virtual Reality development as I see massive potential for VR. I'm interested in remote contracting opportunities up to 50% of my time. I have VR development experience on the Oculus DK1, DK2 and Rift/CV1 and with the Touch controllers as well as with the HTC Vive and have both Rift/Touch and Vive setup for development at home. I've developed VR applications both with the native Oculus SDK using C++/Direct3D 11 and with Unity 5 and C#.

I have experience working on many different platforms and in teams ranging in size from small indie projects to AAA game teams with 100s of members. My background is game development but my expertise in C++, optimization and 3D and GPGPU programming are relevant to a number of non-games applications and I'm particularly excited about non gaming applications of VR.

Applying the term "simulation" from subsystem (our attempts at VR) to the system (our world) are meaningless. The system above is nothing "like" what we have in the system over here.
