> If you really think about it. We only need this wall because of Mexico, so why should we pay if we dont have to?

People flee Mexico because it's an extremely poor country with a horrible government and is controlled by drug cartels. Screwing the country over further economically sounds like the worst way to solve this problem. In fact, it seems like a very good way to exacerbate the problem.

Perhaps that's why private prison stocks are up so much on Trump's election. His actions are clearly going to increase the flow of illegal immigrants into the US, and now that these people can be tossed into federal prison for mandatory minimum sentences. So the end result is, the federal government will be on the hook for something like a quarter million dollars for each one of the people caught crossing the border.

Trump just created a (12 million illegal immigrants * $250k/yr each * 5yr minimum sentences = $15 trillion) market.
Either you are lying, ignoring news, or are attempting to be too literal.

He really did call for a ban on muslims in the US.

Ask HN: How to Handle Student Who Copies Code?
I'm tutoring a couple of high school age students in Python. One of them doesn't seem to understand what we're doing at all. When I work with him, he just makes random guesses that show a lack of understanding for principles we just learned.

Yet, during the week, he emails me things that he has written that go beyond what we've learned. I'm not sure if he's writing the code himself, or just finding cool examples and taking credit for them.

Here are my top two concerns:

1) If he's copying code and claiming it as his own, he's not being honest and he's not learning.

2) If he's actually writing this code himself and I confront him about copying it, he could feel really hurt and distrusted when he should be rewarded for his efforts to learn.

What should I do?

NOTE: I don't have a problem with students using existing code as long as it is open source and proper attribution is given.

The creator of Elm works for your company though [1]. Seems like your experience is going to be a lot different from the average developer because you can probably walk 20 steps to the designer of Elm to ask a question. I haven't used Elm just raising the point.

I looked into uBeam a while back. The technology is unproven and unlikely to work because of basic physics. (They are trying to transmit energy using ultrasonic sound and it usually has severe health consequences for any significant amount of power delivered.) The CEO, Meredith Perry, delivered a TED talk[1] which was nauseating. She was basically saying it doesn't matter what the experts say, if you're a plucky disruptor you should just follow your half-baked ideas.

Anecdata time. I was at a conference. During the dinner, a couple sat next to me, and the husband happened to be a lobbyist in Sacramento (CA). We talked about term limits, and he was laughing at how he, having been around so long, was the go-to resource for incoming newbie representatives in the committee he lobbied. With a "trust me", he could get stuff into legislation with ease.

This is not to say that term limits are bad. But just term limits alone may not be enough to curb corruption.
Given that the Republicans have a majority in BOTH the House and the Senate, it's likely a majority of these initiatives will go through!
While change is always hard I think Twitter can use some new and hungry people to drive it in a new direction. Its such an important service and I really wish them all the best.
I think that's why they cite both the authorizing statute, which creates criminal penalties for violating regulations, and the regulations themselves.
Agreed. Positioning is everything. If rather than saying people's cars are causing global warming, they said how about we get off our reliance of foreign energy as a matter of security and by the way it's better for the environment and energy will get cheaper, there would be more buy in. But they can't help themselves because they can't get over their disdain for skeptics. They have an agenda and it's a religion for most.

I don't hear anything about the sun when climate change is brought up and it's over 99% of the mass of the solar system. Then you have people talking about feeling how warm it is when we are talking about small changes.

If it was 82 outside and you polled people, you'd get all kinds of results. But suddenly anthro climate pushers are super sensitive thermometers. They talk about weather events when you try to have a climate discussion all the time.

Questioning is science, especially when you can't prove it like the speed of light.
It's a legitimate concern that I have that needs to be solved - the fact is that a whole lot of those people who are low-lives have found validation for their perspective with the Trump election. That is a concern for me and my family; I don't feel happy about the fact that my kids will go to school with other kids bullying them and echoing racist crap because the Commander in Chief does so, or because he implies that people from my part of the world are bad. I can't just not bring these concerns up because you think that detracts from the grander scheme of fixing the Trump supporters' problems.

Seems to me like you are disregarding my concerns in the same way you're accusing me of disregarding Trump supporters' concerns.
Yes, but i am well aware of the problem. You seem to be unaware of the fact the oil/gas advantage doesn't matter with many Republicans. Would that qualify as ignorant?

You are screaming that we need to "level the playing field", while I'm pointing out that we currently need to make progress in the current political environment.

Over that same time period [1], unemployment fell by 4%, which means that we shifted up to 2.9% of the eligible working population onto long-term disability, effectively paying them not to work. And not paying them much, either. Disability benefits are depressingly inadequate to survive on.

So, in effect, we've taken a population that was capable of productive labor and banned them from participating in the labor force, locking them in poverty. We've increased taxpayer burden while simultaneously reducing the number of taxpayers. And we've done this in the middle of a massive demographic shift that's already piling citizens on the wrong side of the contributor-recipient equation.

So no, I don't see how that's an improvement on anything. It's a net negative in terms of productivity, tax base, and individual quality of life.

> It is already illegal to avoid taxes and tariffs on tobacco. Why ban mailing it as well?

Likely because proving intent to avoid taxes and tariffs is much harder than proving you've mailed something. I would bet it's a way to get around having complex expensive investigations for what was a common problem. Pass a law, now it's easy. You mailed tobacco? You're guilty. Case closed, problem reduced, taxpayer money saved.
Yes, that is my point. I don't think Elm is "too academic". I think it strives for pragmatism in real world engineering scenarios and that is why it gets flak from a certain segment of the programming community. Similar to how golang does.

According to 16 USC 551, a fine is indeed what you're likely to get for violating this regulation.

The issue here is that the statute authorizing criminal penalties covers a whole range of national park regulations, some of which clearly merit stiff penalties, and some of which are just about washing fish safely.
All That Multitasking Is Harming, Not Helping Your Productivity. Here’s Why
Sure, there is some connection. But a big part of it is a mix of desperation and wishful thinking.

Same story with the steel industry, auto industry, textile industry, etc., in other parts of the country.

And of course the coal companies are still willing to throw lots of money at lobbying, which buys a lot of influence among local politicians.
His bet was completely in line with what he has been saying the past few years (about flying cars and 140 chars etc). It resonates with Trumps "US doesn't win anymore". He may have realized that a large part of US population felt the same way, something that, apparently, went amiss from everyone else in SV.

Direct democracy can go badly wrong. Very badly wrong, and I don't neccessarily mean Hitler-level wrong. Just look at Switzerland, they are still struggling to implement a referendum from 2014 against freedom of movement in a way that doesn't kick them out of the EU (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swiss_immigration_referendum,_...).

Given the election results, I wonder what 'd happen if there was a US-wide referendum with the simple question "Deport all undocumented persons"...

It would be easy to tell what he thinks... except for the fact nobody knows what his real positions are, what he is really going to do and that his strategy worked regardless.
That's naive.
> Anything else is not a pure democracy.

Why do you assume pure democracy is desirable? Do you also prefer every law to be voted on by the entire population (it's a valid point of view, albeit one I disagree with)?

The whole point of a republic is to temper the will of the mob. Our electoral college — which represents the fact that the United States are a federal republic — forces candidates to campaign across the states, and the spend the most time in precisely those states which are most evenly-split (the swing states, which is another way of saying the political centre).

Eliminating the Electoral College — as, sadly, many wish to do — would do irreparable harm to the United States, perhaps even more severe than popular election of senators.
Forgot to respond, but nice analysis! Thanks! Interesting how it comes out to something definitely infeasible, but still in the approximate realm of the world's nuclear capability (~16k of various sizes exist today).

He didn't make a point, just an ignorant statement. Which I responded to by pointing out that it was very ignorant.

If you care to make a point worth replying to about 'china and India cleaning up their own messes' (despite the US having the highest CO2 emissions per capita in the world by a huge margin, over 2x that of China's and nearly 10x that of India's, and for a far far far longer time) then be my guest.

> America hasn’t put its demons — including racism, anti-Semitism and misogyny — behind it. White people still make up the vast majority of the electorate, particularly when considering their share of the Electoral College, and their votes usually determine the winner.

By intentionally continuing to attempt to associate support for trump with a litany of unacceptable -isms that are the guilty burden of being white (men), he exposed the attitude that people are revolting against.

The point of the link is: complaining works.
I'm not sure why I'm meant to be alarmed by "corn sugar". Sucrose is extremely unhealthy for you in the quantities consumed in naturally sweetened soda. High fructose corn syrup is "high in fructose" relative to corn syrup, not to sugar, which is itself naturally high in fructose.

More important context for the "ham" law is that the criminal penalty statute they're citing is actually meant to pair with this offenses statute:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/21/458

... it captures a bunch of other regulations by reference, including labeling laws, but that doesn't mean someone passed a law saying it should be a federal crime to use the wrong font for ham.

So Mexicans start using bitcoin, amazon gift cards, or something like that. Or we end up with "underground banks" that can effectively transfer money across the border without actually doing so, i.e., you buy a digital good at a physical location in the US, transfer it to a relative in Mexico, who then sells it back to the company at a slight discount for cash (which, as a side-effect, would be a great way to launder drug money).

Or I guess, you bounce money through Belize or something.

Either way, it doesn't sound very effective.

Not only does the creator of Elm work there but so do the people who know Elm more than anyone else in the world. Literally. While it's proof Elm can work it's not really a fair comparison for teams wanting to adopt it.
Most of them being at the state and local level sounds more like the recession (and corresponding decrease in tax revenues the following years) catching up with state and local governments that actually have to stick to a budget.

I'm not sure what the breakdown of "more recently at the Federal level" is, but it doesn't sound very pro-Obama in terms of your argument, particularly since Trump is talking about the Federal government.

Nobody thought Clinton was swell, most Democrats I've spoken with hated her. The alternative is someone (Trump) who never had any kind of political experience of any kind, period. Would you get in a plane flown by someone with 0 hours of flight training, literally zero?

I'd rather get in a plane flown by a pilot who has spoken out publicly about being a Jihadi terrorist (in this analogy Hillary Clinton, and I make this analogy because I really, really disagree with a lot of her policies and I don't even like her and don't think she even wants what's best for me), than in a plane piloted by someone who literally has never piloted anything, not just a jumbo jet but not even sat in a student's seat, of any kind of plane. Who doesn't even have a driver's license. That is insane. Never in the history of the United States has someone with no political experience of any kind been elected to the Presidency. It's just insane.
Haskell has much more powerful polymorphism as provided by typeclasses and various extensions like Multi-parameter typeclasses. Haskell, more than any other production-ready language, is able to encapsulate the essence of "doing the same thing in a different context", which means you can easily write code that is reusable to a degree not imaginable in most languages.

For example, the expression "fold", from Data.Foldable, is capable of doing anything from concatenating all the strings in a set to adding up all the probability distributions in a sequence. This is a contrived example, but it's super useful in practice. It's hard to imagine all the code reuse you can get, especially as a library author, without using Haskell for a while.

The most obvious cases are Ord and Eq, where things like maps and sets can contain any orderable type, rather than just a few types like String and Int.
Of course it wasn't clear, but the point is that the odds were better than conventional wisdom. That makes it a good bet.
