Do people call Japan's immigration policy racist? Or do people not bemoan China controlling Tibet because, among other things, Tibet'd lose their cultural identity (this is separate from the valid argument about annexation and human rights issues). What about Bhutan, should we propose they go full globalization and either take on western culture, or Japanese or Korean culture?

Fundamentally countries have a right to self determination and that includes the future direction of the countries, culturally, economically, etc. So long as it does not encroach on other countries' sovereignty.

I think you could look into doing an EB1 green-card in the extraordinary ability category - the requirements are similar to the O-1 (just reviewed a bit more thoroughly), and it'd give your wife a work permit if you file the paperwork together. In theory that process can be done in ~3 months (for the EAD card, which would allow her to work) when you file the I-140 with premium processing.

Oversimplification is the root of most medical evils! As commented earlier, I ate tons of raw kernels as well, my friends did - everybody eats them in much greater quantities than 8 and we were kids, i.e. much lower body weight. So, anecdotal evidence of those being safe outweighs the oversimplistic "scientific" one!
It's interesting how the standard design of ATMs has created an opportunity for skimmer apertures. Straight from factory, ATMs are often a 1980s-vision-of-the-future with lots of bevels, mixed plastics of assorted shiny/matte, inexplicable recesses and protrusions. Even bulky skimmers and cameras (to capture your pin number) can be attached to the faceplate and most wouldn't think to question it.

Longer roasting raises pH (decreases acidity). See:
http://www.idosi.org/wasj/wasj2%285%29/17.pdf

Note that the initial time of small decrease of pH corresponds to under-roasted coffee, and coffee with this degree of roast would be unacceptable even to fans of light roasts.
This is because there's little glory in simply making things work. There is glory in making things that look shiny and new. As they say, "Absolutem Obsoletum".

And congratulations on understanding exactly why I prefer embedded systems - you don't have to keep chasing the dragon of the fashionable new thing ( which is invariably old wine in new skins ). It is not that there is no new wine it is just that proportionally, it's less than all new things on offer.

Thanks for clarifying it in a way that's perhaps a little less hyperbolic than my "full on collapse." I think it's important to understand the passporting agreements between banks in the UK that allowed them to essentially act as if they were banks in the EU created a ton of prosperity over the last several decades (2.1 million jobs in finance alone in the UK).

This industry is going to take a huge hit, and frankly, even if you don't work in finance, you should care because it will impact everyone in the country.

Well, similar to REST, security is not in the spec, but in the implementation.

Different than REST, comes introspection. You would have to advertise fields and mutations to some people that you wouldn't to others, which is a bit of an odd paradigm with how you might do this at scale, but it's not fundamentally different than REST, just looks / feels different.

I haven't seen many people write on the subject for Graph -- in our implementation on Vogue.com, we don't have need of multiple auths. All the fields we describe are "public" and we don't support mutations at this point.

I am not an immigration lawyer or a tax advisor, that being said, I am familiar with the process. You become permanent resident when the CBP officer stamps the MRIV on arrival. From that point on you have the same tax obligations as any other US person. That being said, you should probably consult an actual US immigration lawyer.
It's not the right thing for the right reason though. You're not a good person if the only reason you don't shoplift is because the store has a security guard.

Trump is very wealthy and he rubs shoulders with the elite in our country, but he is certainly not a member of the Republican Elite which includes people like Paul Ryan, Republican Wall Street billionaires such as Paul Singer, and most of the Republican candidates that Trump beat (Jeb Bush, Cruz, Rubio, ....). The Republican Elite did not listen to suffering of the Republican electorate which is why they lost to Trump. Somewhere along the way, the Republic Elite lost sight of the fact that it is policies that appeal to voters than win elections and not donations from the wealthy.

Eric Cantor was the second most powerful person in The House of Representatives until he lost the primary to a political unknown. He lost because Republicans do not want illegal immigration. They are not against immigration but believe that people should only immigrate legally. Cantor did not listen to his voters and he lost. Remarkably, the Republican Elite ignored this loss and backed illegal immigration. Only Trump came out against illegal immigration.

The Republican Elite are so out of touch and this country deserves better leadership from the "Party of Lincoln."
Right. And they are far from 100% committed. They have 2 years to change their minds. This was just a first step -to determine if the British public had the will to proceed.
Voting, flagging, and attention are no signs of substance.
You are right, in a way. But politics is not only about achieving or keeping long-term economical gains. Perhaps someone ar 10 Downing Str. sacrificed a large figure to gain certain strategic advantage in the future world that was planned in Watford in 2013, and we common folk just do not onow what it will look like. The war in Europe is now more possible.
I understand what you're saying. I was wondering if you understood what I was. I believe you don't.

We might disagree on the empirical question. It might surprise you that American legal code is largely to the left of the rest of the world. Most countries do not allow on-demand abortion with no gestational limit. It's not a hard-line right-wing stance to want to bring American case law in line with Italy, Hungary, or France.
And you know what: we can't dismiss him.

The interesting thing here is that we can't just say that's not true.

I am not making a larger point about solipsism or our inability to know reality. I mean the much narrower point of not being able to tell -- from the press -- whether a company actually has a technology that works.

Think about the implications that has for investing in public stocks.

Let's ignore the cases of fraud like Enron etc., and focus on an ordinary company that honestly reports what it is doing.

EDIT: I have followed the Theranos story, so I know about the legal actions etc.

What I can't tell is if there is poor science at the heart of it, or it is a case of poor scaling and application of good science.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for doing this! I am currently looking at a unique situation, so I'm not sure if you would know about this. All I'm asking is if you would know anything from your experience.

I'm an h1b visa holder from India and I recently got arrested and charged with a DUI. After talking to my lawyer, he looked at the evidence (videos, breathalyzer tests) and says its basically a 50% chance at a trial. So I'm looking at a plea bargain. How would this affect my immigration prospects? The DUI itself was my first one and it was a simple DUI, i.e. noone else was harmed or injured.

Thanks

"the red cup and saucer on the table" parses as
the (red cup) on the table and saucer. but both are red and both are on the table, if the default meaning of the phrase would be understood.

also, i like the idea of the composer, but the rephrasing only works on small phrases (that are easy), when actually bigger ones would be the real value here.

The principal agent problem works in the opposite direction from how you describe. Companies are incentivized to offer buybacks when they, with their inside information, believe the stock price is undervalued. They get more of a pop in EPS for a given amount of cash returned to stockholders, which - as someone who is usually compensated in stock - will make them personally wealthier.

A buyback is a return of cash to the shareholders. The mechanics of it is that the company buys its own shares on the open market, and in exchange for that, pays out cash from the company treasury to the shareholders.

Different context, but Dan Savage articulates this well. Relevant (and censored, because he is who he is) paragraph from a long blog post [1] on Sanders vs. Clinton:

'It's ####ing moronic—it's political malpractice—to attack a politician for coming around on your issues. There are lots of other issues the queer community is going to be pressing politicians on, from passing equal rights bills and trans rights bills to defeating anti-trans bathroom legislation and RFRAs. If pols who are currently on the wrong side of any of those issues see no benefit to changing their positions—if they see no political benefit—they're going to be harder to persuade. Why should they come around on our issues, why should they switch sides or change their votes, if we're going to go after them hammer and tongs for the positions they used to hold? ("Please change your mind and support us." "No." "Pretty please?" "OK, I've changed my mind and I'll vote to support you." "#### YOU FOR NOT ALWAYS AGREEING WITH ME! I'M NOT VOTING FOR YOU! #### YOU SOME MORE!")'

Only in the main cities. Just outside the boundaries, and you will face some language barriers. Language barriers also with small to medium businesses interaction.

Your comment raised a red flag for me, because "scaremongering in the UK press" implies some kind of concerted effort, a conspiracy, to subvert the truth. That is why I, probably unfairly, placed you in a certain camp.

Five to ten years is a very long time to bet on. I do not share your confidence. And it looks like you will have less than two years time to settle things. BTW, is that five to ten years with or without Scottish oil?

Just remember: if you're wrong, the people who voted for leave and those who advocated it are to blame, no one else. Not the EU, not "the experts", not the "scaremongerers".
That's quite untrue, and a bit an impetuous conclusion to jump to. We work hard at doing our job professionally, including not moderating HN for ideological reasons.

> It actually was a supermajority of 60 senators that passed it.

I was talking about popular support. It didn't have 60% approval of the voting public. In fact, that wouldn't have even been possible because it was a monster of a bill they were trying to cram through. It was so haphazard that some Supreme Court decisions were about what to do when the bill itself doesn't make sense.

And you mischaracterized the Supreme Court decision. The legal precedent was that an individual tax on not having healthcare is legal as long as it's not too onerous. That was a very odd decision because that tax was not the plan as presented to the American public. The whole process was convoluted, which brings its legitimacy into question.

Again, big decisions should have clear support from the American people. Deciding people can be taxed for nothing (not having healthcare) is a change in the rules of the game and should have required an amendment, IMO.
Less so, I agree. But give it time - older VM image and container formats will probably rot as well.
Hi Peter,

Thank you very much for doing this!
I have two questions about Canadian citizens looking for jobs in America. Possibly, looking to immigrate to Americain the future. Also, If possible getting double/triple citizenship.

Let's pretend you are a Canadian citizen, recently graduated from computing science, that is currently living in Alberta, Canada. What is the best way to get a job in America? Should I apply for a visa as well or should they offer a visa sponsorship?

Then, let's say I get hired. What's the best way to get an American citizenship with the goal of maintaining my Canadian citizenship? I was originally born in the Philippines; would it be wise to get three citizenships (America/Canada/Philippines)?
So they can break into your house because it happens all the time.

‘Brexit’ Collateral Damage Puts Japan in Hot Seat
Wow. Apparently you went through the effort of checking 700 photos and indexing them one by one just to disprove one sentence out of my comment. That's true dedication to the cause.

I guess you're right though - I went a bit too far on that. I could swear I remember him dressing down for a number of interviews but I can't actually find pictures of it so mea culpa.
I had a similar situation (I am Canadian and was on TN). I successfully applied for a status change via marriage on account of my wife being a US citizen. My attorney said that to get around the temporary intent of the TN status, I had to wait at least 2 months after entering the country before applying for the change of status, in addition to her legal footwork. This meant being able to stay in the country for at least 8 consecutive months (2 months wait, up to 6 months for travel authorization documents), which may be complicated for some. It is possible though.
I spend much of my time in unuseful ways, and so do you.

Outright ignorance is definitely pushing it. It's a guess, but very much an educated guess that it's mostly Brexiters who are googling it. Bremainers tend to be better informed, so they are less likely to be doing last minute (or in this case post-last minute) googling about the issue.
