AFAIK, any border agent can place a five-year ban on you for any reason, including no reason whatsoever.

The moral of the story is that you should always follow the unwritten rules of interacting with border agents (Which you always should, when interacting with any people who have absolute power over you, and no accountability.) And hope that you don't run into this guy.

The current headline does not match the page title, and is clickbait and false, both literally and in its intended implication of commonality (what is there is nothing like an EpiPen, and its hard to see what its point is at all -- it seems to be an unregulated "at your own risk" medical device that adds no clear value and considerable risk compared to just using a syringe, and clearly doesn't have the ease-of-use-in-an-emergency utility that justifies autoinjectors like the EpiPen.)
A fantastic job, really well done.

Would we say:

1. The process worked. Facebook looked it over, reasoned about it, and changed their minds. Kudos to them for admitting a mistake.

2. It took a media uproar to make a change like this. The process is broken. There has to be a better way to make these changes.

3. There was no right objective answer in the first place, so the process is inherently political.

I am leaning towards #3. Want to know what the HN community thinks.

I guess if an Epi Pen was some sort of Rube Goldberg device for making an injection more complicated.

The whole point of an Epi Pen is that it can be easily carried (in a purse for example) and used by people with very little training to give an injection (just "stab and go"). This device doesn't serve any of the purposes of a real Epi Pen.

The point I'm trying to make is that the statement I originally replied to (with a quote so not sure what's not clear exactly) inaccurately states that the civil war was fought to abolish the system of ownership of blacks by whites.
Whether one believes #3 is orthogonal to whether one believes #1 or #2 (or perhaps some other alternative to those two), they are beliefs about different attributes of the affair.
Yeah but those guys are white.
No, they do that in addition to giving information to advertisers.

If any company gives any information about me to a third party, that's already wrong.

And while advertisers don't get the data directly, they get it indirectly. They get the user specification (age, gender, rough location) they bid on, and the IP, and several advertisers even used that to track you between different websites their AdWords ads were shown on.
That's disappointing :-(

No, the choice to produce cars is not nothing. It's an act; owning land ( as opposed to buying it ) is not an act.

Yes, there's a certain uncomfortable similarity to physiocracy.

Like I say, it's not a really easy thing to reason about. I can't really do it either past a rudimentary level. Your example "parking in Manhattan" is pretty good, but the car itself provides its own utility.

The utility for the parking lot is proved from others owning cars.

Likewise, gasoline provides its own utility. But oil underground? Probably rents.

Rents-thinking comes from Ricardo, but it's strongly associated with Henry George. Fascinating guy; "Poverty and Progress" is a worthy read.

They were quite quick at getting this release out. I had been using Luna in 2014 and remember waiting a long time for the release of Isis (which was renamed to Freya before it was released in 2015). I eventually gave up waiting and went back to Lubuntu (which was a better fit for my 10 year old laptop).

I like what they’re doing a lot and think they carved out a unique space in the world of GNU/Linux distributions. There’s a lot to be said for emphasising usability and aesthetics and not overwhelming the user with too much software choice or OS customisations. I’m not the target market because I spend a lot of my time in the terminal but I’d be happy to recommend Elementary to friends and family who don’t want to have to think too much about their computing environment.
I remember a friend asking me if I could check the visa application process to the U.S. because he didn't really understand. The form was DS 160, if I recall.

Here is a sample:

http://photos.state.gov/libraries/jamaica/231771/PDFs/DS-160...

Some questions from page 38:

"Are you coming to the United States to engage in prostitution or unlawful commercialized vice or have you been engaged in prostitution or procuring prostitutes within the last 10 years?"

"Do you seek to engage in espionage, sabotage, export control violations, or any other illegal activity while in the United States?"

"Do you seek to engage in terrorist activities while in the United States or have you ever engaged in terrorist activities?"

I mean, I'm sure there's a rationale behind these questions.. maybe in a "plausible deniability" way.. but they're funny.

The problem is that sometimes, one cannot know if they violated a law. There was a video of a lawyer asking people not to talk to the cops where he addressed this point.
personally i'd probably prefer a liar than someone who lacks the common sense to ixnay on (regionally) legally taboo matters with a law-enforcement figure. Especially when the figure has a reputation like the TSA or border patrol.

Liars can be exposed; I don't know how to teach common sense.

I hope one day it's not like this , but treating authority like they are your buddies having a casual chat is unwise on many levels, and not just in the U.S.

> Well I have no idea how they store their data, but if it was straight T-SQL and assuming a table for tickets, a table for comments, and a table linking the two (typical way to implemente 1-to-M relationships)

Wouldn't 1:M just be a typical FK relationship, a join table is only needed for either M:N relationships or relationships that have additional attributes belonging to the relationship rather than either of the joined tables.
The Kademlia/Bittorrent DHT protocol still requires an initial node to bootstrap access the DHT. In Bittorrent, a set of known-good nodes is encoded into the .torrent file (or clients can use previously-discovered nodes they might happen to know about, or router.bittorrent.com as a last-resort fallback).

How does Scout bootstrap?
The layoffs maybe in different occupations like accountant vs an H1B software engineer so it is not likely the could allow a transfer.
Thanks. From a cursory glance it looks like ARFF is more like CSV than WSL. Still far away from the relational model: Only a single table, fixed set of available data types, no distinction between domains and representation. Seems more like a language-independent struct description language (must be like protocol buffers, though I haven't used that either).

Re: comments: they are possible in the schema. For the relational data, comments as second-class citizens don't really make sense IMO, since associated data is typically stored in a rather scattered way in the database (this is a disadvantage compared to hierarchical representations).

The much better approach is to store Comments as first class citizens, like

% DOMAIN Comment String
% TABLE Person PersonID PersonName Comment
Person michael [Michael Jordan] [nicknamed "Air Jordan"]

or if you want to allow multiple comments, or comments are very sparingly used, use a separate PersonComment table.

Re: NULL values: these can relatively easily be modelled by making an auxiliary table as described on the webpage. This leads to better normalization. The drawback is that in this way conceptually associated data is logically separated, and thus harder to edit and housekeep (that could be remedied by relation editors that can edit "views").

Another possibility is to model missing values in each datatype separately as needed. But that's probably a bad idea since the database wouldn't be able to discern such sentinel values from "present" values.

> One thing that could be nice would be a field to indicate the physical unit of each data type.

I'm not sure what you mean by "physical unit". Maybe things like "varchar(3)" in SQL? That would be easily feasible with domain parameterization. Something like

% DOMAIN CountryCode String length=3

Presently the WSL spec demands that "domain parsers" ("String" in the above line) always return domains of the same internal representation though. Parameterization should only add "value constraints". Depending on interpretation length=3 and length=4 might mean distinct internal representations, so that might be a conflicting idea.

I hear you.

But I think that the default assumption by so many is:

'Racism exists, ergo, racism is the primary driver of poverty, inequality' etc..

I strongly object to this assertion.

Of course racism exists, and it's a problem, and it needs to be dealt with - however - I don't think it's the primary root cause of anything. In fact - 'over aggressive policing' is probably a function of 'mass crime zones' - and not the other way around. Obviously there is a feedback loop here, in that extra hard policing creates more negative outcomes ... but if there weren't crazy amounts of crime, cops would be chill.

My grandparents were born on farms and grew up very poor by today's standards. They had almost nothing. There were guns on every farm ... and yet crime was rare. There were no gangs. They were of specific ethnic groups and certainly faced open discrimination - many would not speak or interact with my German great-grandparents. My grandfather's extended family did not attend his wedding because he married a Catholic (!). My great-grand parents on one side were disowned by both families because she was 'French Quebecois Catholic' and he was 'English Upper Canadian Protestant'. And yet somehow there wasn't 'mass crime'.

I'm not insensitive to the systematic issues some people face - and it's terrible - but by positing that 'the system is the problem' entirely removes really bad individual decisions that are made on a daily basis within some communities and this I find to be wrong and we have to be careful about.

We give a 'free pass' to some groups for upholding as 'de facto' role models, the absolute worst, most terrible role models imaginable.

I'm thinking 'Chief Keef' to start with. Brilliant artist. But his brand of music is boils down to: 'Look at me funny and I will kill you. See: here are the guns I will use. Of course, a 13 year old kid mocked him on youtube, and a few hours later, the kid dead, murdered by one of Chief Keef's goons. His videos boil down to shirtless teens in a room with guns, Ak-47's pointed at the camera - in threatening poses. So 'we' as a society - handed him over $1 Million dollars for a recording contract. Because of his ethnic background - we turn a blind eye to his call to mass murder- worse, we make him the role model for the community, what everyone else aspires to be. Nobody on CNN calls it into question. It's complete insanity. In 2016, you can literally call people to murder others, make a video about it, and as long as it has a nice beat - and you are from a group that is marginalized - you're a hero, you get a million bucks and hundreds of acolytes around town trying to copy you. These cultural issues I believe are closer to 'root causes' than police, trying to do their jobs, some of whom are idiots.

Ted Koppel (retired new anchor) began research for a book on this subject after retiring; the book, titled "Lights Out" was published late last year, i believe. Two things about this book were remarkable to me--one was the exhaustive research; the second was a remark from Koppel in the book (i don't recall the exact words he used nor where in the book it is) that it is difficult to imagine a better design for a Power Grid whose primary criterion was maximum exposure to catastrophic attack than the US Power Grid (used collectively to refer to three geographic grids).

That sounds intuitively plausible; Aristotle's systems in general tended to be bad about modeling human ignorance.
I'm genuinely curious if this isn't an effect of biased in favour of what you know (on both sides, possibly). I found Perforce to be terribly opaque. Perhaps this is because the good stuff is buried amidst enterprise nonsense, but compare the experience of going to git-scm.com versus perforce.com if your goal is to learn.

(Not to mention the fact that Perforce as I know it simply doesn't cover the distributed use cases that Git does. Obviously adding distributed features makes any VCS more complex, but that is the inherent complexity of the problem space as opposed to artificial complexity. If your problem is conceptually easier, you can make the solution appear easier.)

You're right. I'm wrong. I had accidentally used the total number of targets from a previous study to calculate that percentage.

A total of 1345 people received emails.

The questions about ethnic differences were answered by 71 respondents.

The actual rate was 5%.

I regret the error.

The abstract itself cites the low response rate. It's a stated problem with the survey. How are you not familiar with the document you brought to the debate?
This isn't happening with just Aluminum. All Carbon and Stainless Steel also.

The Chinese have hacked and stolen many of the recipes the Steel Industry has spent decades working on. It was one of the reasons Washington had to act. Now they can supply markets where their product was not within spec.

Chinese industry gets subsidized by the Chinese Government. Depending on the exact industry they get a certain percentage back on exports. It can be up to 20 % on each export dollar. I once spoke to a shop that made specialized tools for CNC and Screw Machines. The guy told me that if he had a robot that could make the tool from start to finish without anyone needing to even come to work. Just place a load of steel down in the shop and leave. When you get back in a weeks time everything will be made and packed. He still couldn't compete with the Chinese. He says their steel is subsidized, their power is subsidized, they get subsidized to export and by the time you take all the subsidies into account they are 20-30 % cheaper than he can even buy the raw material for. Then to avoid any tariffs they ship product all over the world and move it through other countries. Hence Mexico has become one of these countries, especially when it comes to all metals.

They will stop at nothing to destroy Industry in other countries. They have the support of their Government at the highest levels and are encouraged. It is what makes this difficult to police.
The game wasn't at all about learning new skills or improving existing skills. It was a means to demonstrate existing skills, to Starfighter first and then to employers.

"Mass crime zones" are a direct product of racism. There's a reason that all the crime in Chicago is concentrated around Lawndale and Englewood: black people were redlined into the those neighborhoods, until the early 1970s.
