"However, Trump is a different story. “When politicians talk about ‘immigration reform’ they mean: amnesty, cheap labour and open borders,” his website states. “Any immigration plan must improve jobs, wages and security for all Americans.”"

[skip]

"Trump's plan is manifold but there are two points that specifically target H-1B visa holders.
Trump states on his website that one way to curb unemployment is by increasing the prevailing wage for H-1Bs. This will force the companies to give the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) jobs to Americans, instead of hiring the no-longer cheap labour from other countries. That way, more women, blacks and Hispanics will get jobs in the STEM industry. He wants to introduce a rule so that companies that want to hire workers on H-1B will be required to hire American workers first, even before greencards (permanent residence status) are issued to foreign workers."

Instead of resorting to ad hominem (trolls?) attacks, you should admit the facts which are that Hilary as Senator said she wanted to create 200,000 jobs in NY State and for her it was "do as I say, not do as I do" when she Clinton Foundation attempted to hire foreigners instead of Americans.

The truth is that Trump's position is for employing Americans for STEM jobs and not importing foreigners.

There are lots of young Americans and older Americans that want jobs and Trump (and Sanders) wanted to help them. Hilary, on the other hand supports increasing the H1-B visa program which will displace even more American jobs. Both the Democratic and Republican elites support importing foreigners to replace Americans. That is one of the reasons that the Republican elite truly hate Trump. In many ways, he is more for the workers than the Hilary Democrats and that makes them very, very angry that voters and not their elite money could nominate their candidate.

"HP Enterprises CEO Meg Whitman has been outspoken on her position that Trump's trade policies would damage her company.

"I think his policies around free trade will be damaging to businesses as a whole," said Whitman, a Republican, in an interview with CNBC."

Do you have examples to counter this "racist suburban thinking?" Chicago, Baltimore, New York, DC are famous examples but I've not heard of one crime free major metropolitan area. And I don't think that's due to lack of trying or suburban racists.
Well ... you're strictly right, but just like the idiotic provision that forced Congress to give up their employer sponsored insurance and use the exchange instead was forced by the GOP, so to were these provisions dropped due to GOP pressure.

You see, the GOP continually promised, on one hand, to tie the ACA up in legislative hurdles so it couldn't pass, or, on the other hand, vote for it if it met their requirements.

So, foolishly it turned out, the Democrats played ball with the GOP. In the end, the GOP still did everything they could to block it and voted against it en masse.

I think the error was that the Democrats believed the GOP would vote for the bill if they changed it enough. It was naive.

> I'd love to see some analysis on whether a grey comment is more likely to be downvoted

Two years ago I did an analysis of HN comment scores (back when they were publicly accessible). There are far fewer comments with -1 score than with 0 score: http://minimaxir.com/img/hn-comments/distribution_comment_po...
neither am i comparing them. you're observing that the NYT comment section is free of trolls/spam but is otherwise a liberal echo chamber. that's another way of saying that it's lacking a counter-balance of intelligent conservative comments. i'm accepting that critique for the purpose of argumentation, and replying by asking you to look around and find anywhere on the web that has a majority critical mass of intelligent conservative commentary. once you realize that it pretty much doesn't exist, maybe that will lead to a different conclusion...

anyway, one of the few places i read that, for whatever reason, does carry an even mix of intelligent comments across the spectrum is interfluidity. for example:

> large organisations (I'm sure there are more than 20 sites run under .mit.edu sites by different teams who wouldn't want to share multi-name certificates);

This is why we've added a form to request rate limit overrides. If mit.edu wants a higher rate limit, all they have to do is ask. We're trying to strike a balance between offering a free service that works for most people, and running the risk of abuse.

Also, even if mit.edu doesn't apply for a rate limit, people can issue certificates for 20 new sites under mit.edu per week, or 1,040 new sites per year. And in fact you can see a number of such sites in the crt.sh logs: https://crt.sh/?q=%25.mit.edu&page=1 (note: loads slowly).
This is FUD. Many people use git-rebase flawlessly, without any of the issues you've encountered.

It's a hypothetical mechanism for the transmission of information. It's not taking a shortcut, it's just a different mechanism for getting there, in the same way entanglement propagation can't exceed the speed of light.

And that's why this technique is being described as a wormhole - it's a relatively good simulation of one in terms of some of the measurements they want to make and can be used to carry one of the properties we think a wormhole should be able to carry.

Nice report. I hope, Tesla spends a little time for some software add-on for the camper mode. Shouldn't require many changes to make it a selectable option. The front seats could also move to their maximum front stops to create more space, especially in the Model3. In the long term, they should revisit the options for the second row in the Model X, so that some flat space could be reached. This would then be the king sized camper mode :).
Yeah, the article seems a bit skewed - you have to trust your VPN provider a lot for it to have better privacy.

I think they've relaxed the upvotes-comments threshold.
I remember reading this comment awhile back when China shut the door on Uber: "They open the door, allow foreign companies to enter and train locals in the technology and then slam the door when they gain traction."

Google executives long suspected China of using local regulations and the GFW to show favoritism to local companies:

"[T]he Chinese government against Google seemed less to do with regulations and more like harassment. The sanctions appeared directly tied to how well Google was doing [...] Google executives believed that [...] when [its] market share approached 30%, suddenly bad things would happen. In China, companies need a license to run a website, and it took Google massive effort to secure one. [...] Google’s executives in China realized they were always one step away from another sanction."

I think this is exactly what the GFW is for. Train/show local talent a great concept, create/replicate homegrown version, cut off foreign version when homegrown version is ready.

At some point, China needs to be concerned if it's pissing off foreign companies. If they want American users, the door has to open both ways.
Both the US and Israel uses surveillance blimps all the time, these aren't used over battlefields they are used to collect intelligence over the border or over the horizon (they can reach pretty high altitudes).

Unlike drones they do not require fuel, and they can stay in the air for weeks and even months if they are tethered to the ground as you can easily provide power (and a secure uplink/downlink which cannot be intercepted).

And even untethered ones can operate for weeks especially in on demand visual surveillance and passive SIGINT collection modes since you do not need to spend power to keep them in the air and lithium batteries can provide enough power to sensors for a very long time.

They can reach altitudes high enough that you can't see them with the naked eye, and even if they are visible so what? surveillance/observation towers and CCTV cameras are also usually visible but it doesn't make them any less viable.
Posts or comments or both?
Yeah, I've been scratching my head over this as well.
I don't think that's entirely true. If an acquaintance used your laptop in front of you to hack into a bank, you might be responsible.

But if Microsoft automatically downloaded BankHacker 3.11 to your machine and set it to pop up a dialogue box so that hacking into a bank was so simple your cat could do it — and if then your cat "used your laptop to hack into a bank", then common sense says that Microsoft would be responsible.
Who says they are for military use? You could totally use them for surveillance on home turf.
If you really feel like you do have to force-push to someone else's branch, please use

git push --force-with-lease origin/other_branch

so you at least won't trash any commits your collaborator pushed after you last fetched their branch. git will see that your origin/other_branch doesn't match origin's other_branch, and will bail out so you can pull the changes and decide how to incorporate them.

My alma matter is doing groundbreaking research on sexting. Never thought I'd see the day.

In all seriousness, it is a twofold problem. Yes, the media is partly responsible, but there is also a huge internal problem with the scientific and academic community (actually the article rightly brings this problem up): positive results are what net you publication; no one wants to hear negative results. However, if we actually want to progress scientifically, experiments that yield negative results are just as important, if not more important, than any positive ones. Unfortunately negative results and failed experiments just aren't sexy. They don't sell. They don't get people excited. As a result publishers don't want them and leave us with an overabundance of positive results, some of which are even gamed, which both skew the overall picture of scientific progress, as well as feed into promoting the sort of behavior on the media side this article calls out.

Another problem is, and again, the article does a good job by bringing this up, the major barrier of entry preventing the average joe from reading publications directly rather than reading the digestible media summary of their findings. I think it stems back to an education problem. In an ideal world we'd be able to educate everyone to a certain level of scientific literacy which would at least enable the everyman to decipher some of the more arcane jargon of respective scientific fields, but I'm not entirely sure an educational program that might achieve this is even possible.

Luckily, I do know, that as of at least about a year ago, this very problem was at the forefront of work in the philosophy of science, and many philosophers and practicing scientists alike are (or perhaps were) doing what they can to try and devise ways to clean up the system a bit, improve peer review practices, etc. It's not an easy problem. The scientific community in all its aspects is quite a mangy beast.
As someone who got into Soundcloud after the new app was released, I've gotta say the old app looks great... I wish I could use that! The new one is so limited.
Honestly, the main issue i see with USB-C is that it tries to do too much.
On top of the "regular" USB features, it also adds high-power power delivery to both devices and peripherals, analog audio, MHL, Thunderbolt, and DisplayPort, and i probably missed a few.
Sure, having a single connector might seem easy, but i'm afraid it will result in a plethora of devices and cables which physically fit, but do not work with or will even damage your device.

That fancy usb c-to-displayport adapter you bought for your laptop? It won't work with your phone, because that requires a mhl-capable adapter which outputs hdmi, but don't try to use that one on your laptop, because your laptop doesn't output mhl, so it requires a regular adapter. Never mind trying to explain to someone that yes, usb-c cellphone chargers are indeed compatible between all cell phones, but laptop chargers aren't interchangable. And even headsets suddenly don't seem like such a great idea anymore: a headset might have a usb-c connector, but will it talk analog audio or usb to your device, and which one did your device support again? And why do all my adapters stop working when i try to use a usb hub?

I'm all for innovation, but even ignoring all the potential issues with backwards compatibility with legacy connectors (3.5mm is on everything!) and the limited number of ports, it seems like we're in for a whole lot of pain for a very limited gain and it just doesn't seen to be worth it.

About being rejected from buying my own health insurance, based on a surgery I'd had, I think that the question of whether it's "smart" or "dumb" for insurers to do so is irrelevant.

Especially in a modern society, that decision-making process is no more relevant than asking whether it's OK to dump toxic waste into the river, because the fines could be cheaper than processing such waste safely.
Or just do what Let's Encrypt suggests and have a cron job that runs certbot-auto's renewal command twice a day, every day? It doesn't actually renew until nearing the end of the 3 month cycle, but by having two attempts per day it will make it far more likely to go through if the network is down or something otherwise prevents it from renewing one of the times. They, of course, also will email you repeatedly as you near the end if you haven't yet renewed.
You could really use a log scale there, but I'm glad you did the work. Thanks!

The C-130 says hi
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiyNx0KoU0c

It can take off from even shorter "runways" with the rocket boosters, and it doesn't even need a runway just a very small clearing (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwSfD4Pnkd8).

You also don't need land at all, touchdown-takeoff payload delivery is a pretty common thing, you pretty much touch the ground release the cargo which rides on a drag chute sled and you take off again, the entire process takes only a few seconds.

Anyone who's ridden in something like an air balloon knows that the landing has a pretty big drift, any unpowered flight has a pretty long horizontal landing since you drift with the wind.
It's unlikely that the clearing needed for these blimps would be smaller than the dirt patch you need to land a C-130 in, based on it's size and just how much it can drift due to wind and the fact that it doesn't have enough trust to compensate for the drift it would probably be bigger.
