Oh, I added in another comment that I run a solo business. I don't think an L1-A would apply in that case, because I couldn't have a subsidiary without employees.

I could hire employees, but it would involve doing a whole new business model purely for the sake of a US visa.

I read a translation of Njal's Saga while on a trip to Iceland. It was basically the story of a decades-long blood feud. That's what came to mind when I read this article.
I read an article the other day where police placed a bicycle unlocked in a public place, then watched it. Once someone took off with it, they arrested him. Since he didn't plea bargain, the judge gave him 3 years.

A couple things:

1. I would think either a fine or a 30 day sentence is more than enough.

2. I think it's bad for society in general for police to actively bait people into committing crimes.

3. That's about $150,000 of taxpayer dollars for a $100 bicycle.

4. Unrelated but important. In the US, it's legal for police to lie to you about your rights, what evidence they have, or anything really. I believe that is bad for society as well.

I think what would work best is the following. NSA alerts US companies of the vulnerabilities in their products with the understanding that the companies will not publicize that the vulnerability was fixed. This will let the NSA continue to exploit the vulnerabilities; most customers never update things like routers and other obscure pieces of the infrastructure.
I think this applies to many roles, not just engineering. I could imagine a copy-writer getting stuck on some exact word choice, a salesperson mulling over every reaction and word from a previous meeting. A designer taking in everything the see.

There's not enough jobs as it is, why should Criminals get jobs, when lawful citizens can't find employment? But I'll entertain your idea.

Say Jean valjean stole a loaf of bread to feed his family (highly unlikely), then let's make the punishment of his crime, to replenish that item by working (but not like labor camps of course). Jean would have to work on a farm, planting seeds, pulling weeds from the wheat field, in the hot sun along side illegal immigrants. That should be punishment enough right? But before he could return to normal American life, he'd first have to sign a promissory note to his allegiance with the Democratic party . Sounds like awin-win. Who needs food stamps? Ah so here we are, reducing illegal immigration while helping poor Jean recover himself. Let's send a letter to Congress.

I'm not sure that a market crash is a prima facie bad thing. Market crashes often precede or accompany economic recessions but I'm inclined to believe that they are a symptom or result rather than a cause. An economic recession is a bad thing due to increased unemployment, among other reasons.

If there is a real contraction in the health care sector and people react by pulling out of the market entirely then that is a good thing for people looking to put money into the market; the rest of the market is on sale (relative to its "real" value). Even if the market is made up entirely of indices, the market as a whole will end up appropriately priced. Those who panic sell will lose money but the index will bounce back assuming non-health care assets truly were undervalued.

Chromecast is so cheap that its probably putting downwards price pressure on the devices themselves. And I don't personally have any issue flicking between all of my various "set top" boxes: chromecast, WD Live, Apple TV, old school dvd player, Tivo. After all, what issues does this fragmentation cause, apart from a bit of a mess of HDMI cables, and a shortage of HDMI ports on the TV?
How are Cats and Scalaz different? I haven't played with Cats lately, but last I looked it was just a reimplementation of Scalaz.

Typelevel didn't even want to fork Scalaz to begin with. That was only their plan B, plan A was to take over the community with code of conduct/social justice shenanigans, and then expel people they didn't like. The fork is just what they came up with after dibblegate failed.

"Why is it so hard for developers to work with non-developers?"

It's not hard for all developers. I've been working with non-developers for decades, both as a developer and a development manager, and I haven't found it difficult (and as far as I know, they haven't found it difficult to work with me either).

"Non-technical people often express doubt about answers provided by programmers."

Programmers (including myself here) often give the wrong answers. A healthy degree of skepticism is a good thing to have.

"Non-technical people try to 'help' by Googling stuff and sending links..."

I've never encountered this.

"What does HN think about good strategies to avoid feeling stressed out by trying to work collaboratively with non-technical people?"

You have to remember that developers are just a small part of what makes a company work (even a tech company), and that the other people are just as important as you are. For example, without salespeople, there may not be any revenue from which to pay the developers. Without QA people, the developers' code might be too buggy to release. Without product managers, there may not be a sense of which direction a product should go. We all have to work together.

Disclaimer: I work at Mesosphere.

There are alternative runtime implementations (such as Mesos/Mesosphere DC/OS) that let you have best of both worlds: developers can still use Docker and produce Docker images but you use production-grade container orchestration (and that same Docker images) without using Docker daemon for your actual service deployment.
"In fact, there is a school of thought in the West that when the fines are cheaper than the cost of compliance, it is not only OK to break that law, but that the CEO has a fiduciary duty to break the law."

This claim seems absurd. Fiduciary duty is a legal concept, and for obvious reasons, there can never be a legal obligation to break the law. Americans might think it's ethically OK for corporations to break some laws. But a claim that a CEO had violated legal duties to shareholders by not breaking the law would get instantly laughed out of court.

This is basically it. Japan is a very service-oriented country. People take pride in how well they interact with customers from book stores to restaurants to taxis. This interaction assumes a certain level of honesty and it really changes how you interact when you exchange money with someone for something.

Florida Welcome Center I-10
People who are afraid and misinformed/have poor judgement love to have an authoritative figure who promises to harm those who they are afraid of.

This is the same mentality of germans who elected Hitler and Americans who are voting for Trump. "You should be afraid of X, I'm going to bring physical harm to X, I'm your savior." Many people respond positively to this in a primal way, because it simplifies/validates their feelings.

For dark matter to explain the missing mass it has to be everywhere and spread evenly - hence defused.

If it was concentrated in only specific spots it would cause different gravitational effects such as lenseing.

The lack of lenseing isn't the only issue it's also the general mass distribution across the galaxy for example the stars in the outer parts of the Milky Way move at nearly the same speed as the stars in the center.
Since the center has much more mass the stars should move faster but they don't which means there is a lot of more mass that we do not see and that is distributed evenly across our own galaxy and not clustered in the center like the normal matter.

So to match the observation the dark matter has to be every where think of it like the air around you.

Now it doesn't have to be actual dark matter but it has to gravitationally affect the rest of the matter in the universe one of the version of string theory has dark matter as gravity leaking into our universe from higher dimensions or parallel universes the problem with that is that it still does not explain the diffusion unless the brain it's leaking from for some reason unlike our universe is diffused.
I'm missing your point. In the example of Walmart, individuals chose to take there business there, enriching the Walton family at the expense of other merchants. While literally not voting for the Walton family to receive their business, a large number of individuals did make the choice of doing business with the Walton family didn't they?

If you've been to the Philippines or read up on their history, the country is rife with corruption and extreme levels of inequality ever since the days of Marcos.

The people are tired of the status quo and voted in a hardliner in hopes to change things. When Duterte was mayor of Davao City, he transformed the city into one of the safest in the world:

Bay Area Politicians Strangling the Region's Key Industry
The NYT had a writeup of one particularly notable incident, in which a father and son were killed, and how it was egregious enough to provoke outrage: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/20/world/asia/philippines-dut...

Otherwise, the important context to have is that while 1,800 alleged drug dealers have been killed by police and vigilantes in the 7 weeks that Duterte has been in power (roughly 1,200 people were killed last year by police in the U.S. though that doesn't count for all in-custody deaths [0]) -- the Filipino citizens are, by most accounts, supportive of the killing campaign:

http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/23/world/asia/philippines-rod...

> Richard Javad Heydarian, who teaches political science at De La Salle University in Manila, said many members of the public were giving Mr. Duterte wide leeway to deliver on his promise to suppress the drug scourge within three to six months. Mr. Duterte’s “shock and awe” approach reflects not only his commitment to eradicating drugs, Mr. Heydarian said, but also extremely high public expectations.

> “The more fundamental question at this point is, why the seemingly unprecedented support for the new president despite global criticism of his uncompromising approach?” he said. “I think it largely has to do with dissipated public trust in existing judicial institutions, a sense that the normal democratic processes are not coping with the magnitude of the crisis.”

The advantage of Uber has nothing to do with price and everything to do with grotesque incompetence on the part of the taxi operators.

Five-six years ago, when I asked for a receipt for an expense report, I got a hand-scribbled note. Running credit cards often required hand-based crank mechanisms. Autoplaying TV on the back of a seat that was billed unless you explicitly opted out. It was, in short, a scammy operation designed to squeeze you in all the impolite ways, and there was nothing you could do about it. When Uber/Lyft came on the scene, it took the scam out of the taxi industry and transformed the situation into one where you had a clear understanding of the price, where you could get a clear and reasonable receipt (emailed, even!), where you could pay with a card. You get a clear idea of how long the operator will take to arrive.

I had to use a taxi in St Louis, MO last summer. In order to do this I had to call the taxi company. No app, no website, nothing. It took 45 minutes to show up, period. The driver couldn't find me when he got near. I am very glad I did not miss my flight. It reminded me again of how deeply I support the "ride-sharing" services.

I consider the taxicab operations to be corrupt and effectively incompetent, frequently propped up by asinine medallion systems and graft at the city level. Therefore, I refuse to use taxis if Lyft or Uber are available. I will NOT intentionally contribute one red cent to these jokers.

Now, all of what the author said about Uber's flouting of the law is true. And that's not something I'm terribly happy about. But I think there's a certain value in simply ignoring bad law and fixing it on the fly. Might be the American in me, but so it goes.

In any case: if the taxi industry in Japan is honest, competent and well executed, Uber/Lyft will not have the profound advantage it has over the taxi industry in the US.

His Name Is Meow Meow, and He Hacks DNA
The biggest culture shock coming back to the bay area from a long Japan vacation was the taxi from the airport to a nearby hotel. The day before out return we had a driver in Tokyo who had approached it hotel from the wrong direction and had to drive around the block to get us to the front entrance. We were happy to walk half a block but he was very embarrassed and insisted to drive us to the front door and took way more off the charge than seemed reasonable and refused extra money we wanted to pay. Needless to say the car was immaculate.
The taxi at SFO was filthy and the driver got grumpy as soon a we told him that we were going to a nearby hotel. He ignored both the directions from his navigation system which he claimed was broken as well as our instructions and kept missing roads leading to the hotel that he claimed he couldn't find despite it being in sight and us telling him where it is. When I protested and told him that I'm concerned about having to pay higher charges because of his obvious mistakes he insured me to not worry that he would take that off the charge. When we arrived at the hotel he took less than 10% off and got rude and insulting when I protested.
Bottom line: I would not hesitate to take Japanese taxi any time even over an uber black. I can't wait for the SF taxi industry to completely collapse.

Edit: There is a flip side to this though. In Japan it was obvious to me that people take pride in their work. Even people who drove taxis out clean train stations. The resulting quality of work was astonishing. However, I also got the impression that these people are give respect for their good work. I don't think many taxi drivers in the US respect their own work and society for sure doesn't make them feel respected. Respect seems to be much tighter coupled to monetary success and I can't say I'm free from that.
There's far better evidence you could use to prove your point.

Instead you choose to highlight parties that Putin doesn't support, and US parties that aren't actually part of the 'alt-right'.

All it shows is that you bought into Hillary's propaganda.
> let alone the moral problems with executing people for being addicts

Why do you think this is a "moral problem"?

They didn't become addicts by accident, they chose to break the law by taking drugs.
This is what I mean. You're reading way too much into the situation. If I were not such a lazy are artistically-challenged person, I would absolutely set up such a display at a useless crossing signal. And it would have no meaning whatsoever other than to make fun of the fact that the specific button does nothing. Nearly equatable to being satire, but with less meaning than the term "satire" generally refers to. It would be purely for the purpose of a fun moment in my life, nothing more. No philosophical meaning about how "many actions in life are fruitless", but rather "heh, this one button doesn't do anything, time to have fun with it".

Our brains may be wired with complexities we don't understand, but I know the difference between having a moment of enjoyment for myself, vs. doing something with an ulterior motive of pretending to be a genius making grandiose remarks about civilization as a whole.

More people need to remember what it's like to be an innocent child who, in such a case, would instantly proclaim "a button that doesn't do anything... whyyyy?", instead of going full-on adult with a cynical point of view. For fuck's sake, stop overthinking every single moment in life. It's depressing.

Large astronomical telescopes are necessarily reflecting: it's more cost effective to build large mirrors than large lenses. But that necessarily implies that there will be obscuration (secondary mirrors, etc.) in the light path, which complicates the focused image and makes it difficult to look for diffuse, low-surface brightness features.

The other challenge in looking for these sorts of objects is scattered light. What van Dokkum & co realized was that commercial telephoto lenses are exquisitely designed to minimize scattered light, and as refractors have no central obscuration. So a small array of such lenses is actually more sensitive to faint, diffuse features than much larger telescopes. (Plus cheaper!)
There are 200k federal prisoners out of about 1600k total. The fact that federal numbers are 50% drugs doesn't change the fact that the overall numbers.

If we let out our non-violent criminals, then the prison population will only be cut by half. The majority of people in prison are violent criminals.

DISCLAIMER: I am a Filipino and I live in the Philippines.

Oh please not this crap again! People outside the Philippines are greatly misinformed by the media. Duterte did not order to kill everyone on drugs. That's bullshit! 600K+ that surrendered are proof of that. The problem is it seems all homicide and murders are now Duterte's fault which is what the news emphasized.

If you want to know what's really going on come to the Philippines. Don't judge based on what the news says.

Also, take into account that there's politics involve here. Oligarchs who have been controlling the country for decades hates Duterte because he wants Philippines to become Federal -- no monopoly anymore.

If Duterte did not won, we are in status quo right now. You will not hear this kind of crap in the news until we are a full-pledge narco state.
