Sure i'll try. Obviously europe had a few more immigrants than otherwise over the last 2 years. The general idea was that under these immigrants will be a lot of terrorists (which showed to be wrong, because by far most attacks were done by people living there for a while) but is used until now from right partys. These US dominated subreddits like /r/The_Donald or even /r/4chan turned this into memes along "Blacks come to rape your woman" (projecting much?). And meanwhile Trump uses Europe as example for getting overrun by terrorists and turning Islam (whatever this means) in every other speech.

The thing is, what most european leaders are fully aware of, its not immigration that is the problem but bad immigration where Germany and France are prime examples.

I hope this helps :)
They are talking about a seller of the original stuff, not about counterfeits.

It's possible that there are ways for the manufacturer to maintain control in case of an authorized seller's bankruptcy (e.g. not actually selling it to them until it's transferred to customer should work), but if they actually transfer it to them they only can demand contractual damages from them, not stop a buyer from doing anything with the product.
To be fair, touching a stinging nettle is standard fare of childhood, and isn't really bad for you other than the pain. If you spend lots of time out and about in green spaces in certain parts of Europe, getting stung by some nettles will be unavoidable.
Same old arguments. If you know what you're doing it doesn't take so long, a lot of this tech stuff is made to be more complex than it really is. Our field has been overrun with people who seem to love to overcomplexify this stuff so as to justify their position and budgets.

If you just extrapolate the exponential improvements we've seen with solar and batteries for another decade or two they'll be way cheaper than fission plants. And it'll take a good decade for them to come on line.

The outlook for fusion is surprisingly positive. I never thought I'd see it in my lifetime but there have been a bunch of breakthroughs recently. See the "Breakthrough in Nuclear Fusion?" talk from Dennis Whyte, head of Nuclear at MIT. The main bit 00:26-00:30 - they just have to build a reactor the size of the JET reactor (existing near Oxford) but with the new REBCO tape (also existing and available) and you could have a funtioning power generator https://youtu.be/KkpqA8yG9T4?t=26m6s

They should crack ahead and build one of those.
All suggestions are accepted. She so wants to be a librarian so am MLS is it. I have a friend that is getting a BS in Mechanical Engineering this year. Then next year a ME in Engineering Management. His plan is then to get an MBA.
2016: Video Streaming Year in Review
This is definitely a valid concern if the plaintext transmission can be recorded and played back and still be valid. Hopefully they've built-in some kind of short expiration timestamp. That said, the speaker output from your phone in your home isn't going so far that anyone else could pick it up without being in your home at the time that you're configuring it.

> All the value captured through productivity increases is being captured by shareholders and asset owners now rather than the working class.

That's how living in a poor country feels. You still have good enough institutions and human capital to turn things around, but if you wait for too long, those will be gone.
I'm sorry, I can't defend being willingly going into a limited career path.

And this is not simply "humanities pay less". There are a lot of "different" professions that can evolve and become good (high-paying) positions. Even librarian studies can go to become an archivist, managing some private collection, etc.

But requiring an overpriced Master degree for a librarian position IS A SCAM. And getting yourself into a romanticized position inside a clique is not a good career movement.

People moving to LA and waiting tables until they get a movie part looks like a more viable career path than that
If I had to give them the benefit of the doubt, I'd guess that they feel that SSL has failed at fulfilling its intended purpose, and that they're working on a "superior" alternative which they plan to use for themselves and force all developers for their platforms to also use, in an attempt to encourage it to spread and supersede SSL.
Our society is simply misguided in conflating education with employment. It is good for society as a whole to be educated, to understand history and science and literature, let alone practical skills such as cooking, filing taxes, and applying for a mortgage.

The problem is that we treat colleges as "skill mills," where we expect to go in, like raw materials into a machine, and emerge as an employable middle-class worker. Not all degrees or programs are suited for employment. Some colleges alleviate the problem somewhat by requiring paid co-ops as a part of a degree, but that is only one side of the problem.

Time was that the employer would teach the job skills on the job. There was an expectation of trust and loyalty on both sides which agreed that as long as the employee stuck with the employer, the employer would train and protect the employee.

This model has been successfully replicated time and time again across the world, from the guilds of the Middle Ages, to the salaryman culture of modern Japan.

College isn't everything.
Thank you, that's very kind. If you have suggestions, please do just reply to an issue. We're improving the sites substantially for next year, but don't worry, no JS frameworks will get involved, all plain and fast HTML (just a better layout).
So does this mean there are good deals on alibaba?
The exchange of payment or authentication information is undoubtedly done over TLS so it's probably just not a priority. That said there seems to be some obvious security issues with it since a bad actor could, as far as I know, inject malicious javascript in the vanilla http page to do all kinds of fun stuff.
"At that point, I was getting paid to develop the product even further while gaining deeper knowledge about the customers and the market."

This is basically the idea. Do consulting work while bootstrapping your company but try to do it by finding companies in your target market. This way, it is not only consulting, you are getting paid to learn the market.

It's a little annoying on mobile - if you read to the bottom, you have to press back ~15 times to cycle back through the sections get to the previous page.
I think the problem is that it would create a new form of range anxiety: what if you want to take a spontaneous trip and your car is at 20%? The other problem is fear of degrading battery capacity through lots of cycles. In time, both of these could be solved, but for now, they're valid concerns that haven't been disproven.

Mostly read fiction. Some of my top books I read this year are:

- Devotion of Suspect X by Keigo Higashino (as well as his other detective novels)

- Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Zafon

- The Martian

- Dark Forest (and the Three Body Problem)

- Shantaram

- Age of Myth by Michael Sullivan

- Futuristic Violence and Fancy Suits
Every atom of every element heavier than iron is stardust (1). Uranium is no more fossil than gold is.

(1) Most of the lighter stuff is stardust too, but there's some small number of heavy nuclei that decayed down to more stable, lighter isotopes, which ultimately leads to iron, the most stable of all.
> I don't have any problem with alcohol and firearm sales being pushed to 25. If you want to shoot earlier then get private land outside a city, join a police department, join the military, or have a parent or guardian as a co-signer.

I'm baffled at how at one side you argue the legal age should be raised, while you suggest youth should join the military or the police. Jobs which include firearms, and a high sense of responsibility. At the same time, you want to remove accountability from said youth? If you take away so many responsibilities from youth, why keep police/military around for them?

I really don't believe 6% (or, for that matter 9% (50% more)) of eligible voters ages 18-24 in my country vote. Perhaps the problem is local or US specific. Also, we don't know the why. I would like to see the US data cross referenced with data from other countries.

I also read that heroin has overtaken gun shootings in cause of dead. Heroin, an illegal drug. We can make services illegal if they require a government license, but goods? Difficult to make illegal.

> Separate the 18-24 population into senior juveniles. Too old to be incarcerated with the violent children and too young to be bonded with the career criminals. Violent offenders absolutely should do time, but if they aren't adults should also have the opportunity to expunge their criminal record so as to allow them to obtain real jobs later.

An interesting point, but nonetheless if you put criminals together you beget criminals. Instead, all the progressive research I've seen is that investing in people integrating in society has a much lower chance to stop recidivism. Although in the US there's little to no interest in such because the US profits from people incarcerated via cheap/free labour.
Nanjing Imperiosus appears to be a registrar that many online pharmacies use. I guess they don't listen to domain takedown requests.

We use some nonessential cloud services to fill in a few gaps where I am at, mainly an email gateway and VPS. So in actuality I agree with some of the other comment.

But what I've found, in minimizing our dependencies on the cloud, is that for a small increase in implementation time (which isnt so bad because, again, people actually know what they're doing after some training) we have almost zero problems that we can't immediately go back and fix ourselves. And my shit gets done on time, and under budget.

edit: Also, resiliency is a legitimate business concern/objective. Sucks that you can't blame any problems on cloud providers tho :)

I've stopped hating basketball teams. There are only a few players I really don't like. Harden comes to mind. I'm a Warrior fan but I like LBJ and Kevin Love. (JR Reid not so much).

Kerr is a blessing to the Bay Area. I'm a long time Warriors fan. I've had my shot blocked by people who've had their shot blocked by Manute Bol. My bad was coined by Manute Bol! But I really wasn't watching the Warriors for awhile until I saw they'd 1) fired Mark Jackson 2) swooped in and got Steve Kerr. Jackson was a bad fit for the Bay Area and feuded with his players.

Kerr on the other hand had incredible pedigree. Lute Olson, Phil Jackson, Gregg Popovich, Mike D'Antoni. He played with Michael Jordan and Tim Duncan. He won five rings. Wow, the Warriors scored Steve Kerr! Bob Myers then won the NBA Executive of the Year deservedly.

Anyways, the Warriors are very popular in the Bay Area, yeah because they win but also because they're actually pretty nice people who are out in the community quite a bit. Bogut was kind've sour but extremely honest. A great interview. The only Warriors jersey I own is a Bogut jersey.

But I really think there's a lot for Silicon Valley to learn from the Warriors organization. Starting Iggy in the Finals (the Small Ball Death Lineup) was an idea that came from their video guy, was debated by the assistants and OK'd by Kerr.
The emails are fantastic, I recommend them to people all the time
> Why does a college degree cost so much in USA?

FTFY

Not excluding the fact that some private institutions (and even some public ones) in other contries charge a considerable tuition as well, but that usually is handled differently (fee reduction, scholarships, etc) than in the USA (long-term loans).
The big reason I won't use Elixir is there are similar and arguably better options on the JVM. The whole Server B column in the article can easily be replaced with JVM instead of Erlang.

For example you could use JRuby and Akka and probably have something comparable to Elixir (I haven't tried it as I prefer Java and Scala). And you could then use any Scala or Java library.

The only big issue I have with the JVM is that it is a memory hog and thus expensive.
Consequently the most compelling thing about Elixir is that is on the erlang vm but I still prefer static typed languages. If Elixir were typed I might be more excited about it.

Don't get me wrong I love more options and we even use Erlang in my company but the JVM just has more flexibility.
While we're on the category of "just before the shit hit the fan," there's "Defying Hitler." [1] It's the story of the early years in Germany as Hitler was first coming to power, when the war was first beginning. Very insightful.

Apologies for the kvetching; I just removed the downvote complaint. I was just peeved to see my solution-centric comment downvoted into the negatives while mere complaints were being pushed to the top.
Not having a configurable option to disable a security setting that's getting in the way of my ability to do what I want on my computer is a worse idea.
Credit-hour was originally conceived for the purpose of quantifying appropriate faculty compensation. It was tacked on to the student side - particularly regarding tuition - as a somewhat lazy afterthought.

College usually meant everybody would study the same subjects. The specialization of degrees is a relatively new innovation by way of 19th century German institutions adapting to industrialization.

The one I'd call out as "not recommended" is

The Seven Pillars of Statistical Wisdom by Stephen M. Stigler. I guess it has it's place, but it didn't turn out to be as enlightening as I'd hoped it would be.
Another general rule is that milky sap typically is poisonous, and you should definitely avoid fruit that has milky sap. And of course, if it tastes bad, that's probably a good sign that it might not be edible either.
I don't see how Lollipuff's service, as you describe it above, is relevant to counterfeit items on taobao. If someone is selling, e.g. a copy of a particular dress, using stock photos from the original designer, for 5% of the regular price, how does your authentication service help taobao, the seller and/or potential buyers?
Presumably you mean in the browser, rather than node.js? When you can compile and use polyfills with babel and webpack, then why not?

What's the current position of Nix vs Guix?

I tried NixPkgs for a while on a mac about a year ago, but it wasn't really functional (I submitted a half-dozen or so bug reports, several were fixed, but I could see there was a long way to go towards a usefully working system...)

I don't think I'd describe Gatsby as a 'glorified anecdote'. It's fairly tightly plotted, as much as any hollywood blockbuster. But the writing does far outshine the story. It's absolutely beautiful, if perhaps a bit mawkish.
I was in kindergarten about 13 miles away when the Three Mile Island (TMI) accidentally occurred. I recall people being panicked about it and my neighbors jamming up the roads trying to get away. There was great controversy when they wanted to restart the undamaged reactor. Most of the controversy surrounding whether the operator could be trusted to run the plant safely as the accident was largely the result of poor management and inadequately qualified operators at the controls.

Despite having lived through all that I still support nuclear power. I think a standardized design approach like they have in France is the right way to go as it can lower costs and improve safety. I think standardization can also improve trust by reducing the likelihood that human factors could cause an accident.

Not necessarily. Especially in the big cities and among the wealthier or more educated (i.e. Indians you're likely to encounter on HN). I don't have statistics on hand but "love" marriages constitute a non-trivial percentage of marriages in those areas and social circles.

Even in arranged marriages in the big cities both parties usually have some veto power; parents don't (usually) just unilaterally say "You're marrying him/her and that's that" because that's not a happy start to any marriage. The guy or girl is shown pictures and basic info (height, education, job etc.) about potential candidates from a shortlist (which parents get from a marriage bureau) and they pick out a few they might be interested in. It's pretty much a stale joke by now that any unmarried Indian engineer working abroad is going to be bombarded with pictures of girls by his parents when he visits India.

The guy or girl might meet a few different potential partners before making a decision. It often runs like parental-supervised dating (think of the scene in The Godfather, with the grandmothers following a few paces behind Michael Corleone and the Sicilian woman he's courting). The couple can get to know each other reasonably well before the wedding if the engagement is a few months long.

In the rural areas (i.e. most of the country) traditional arranged marriages probably still dominate though. Even there, the winds of change are a-blowin'.
Note that some of the statements there (e.g. estimates of areas needed to provide power from solar energy) are not technology-dependent (ie. are about physical limitations).

The Managerial Entitlement Complex
Oh no! That's definitely a bug. What device/browser are you on?
I intentionally bought a 512GB usb drive from Taobao to see what would happen. It was something ridiculously cheap like $10, far cheaper than any other 512GB at the time.

Taobao said I needed to return the product to the seller in order to get a refund. I told them I would send it to Taobao corporate or the police, but under no other circumstances would I ship counterfeit materials through the mail, reinforcing the supplies of the scammer and perpetuating the fraud.

I sent them a disk space audit demonstrating that there was in fact only 32GB on the device, showed them articles showing that there was only one other 512GB USB drive on the market at the time and that it cost well over 10x the amount listed.

I invited them repeatedly to view the product itself, but I only ever got the same standard canned response to return the counterfeit products to the seller.
That's unfortunate. Nobody likes to feel cheated at work.

I'd suggest to try and remediate the situation first. Try to cancel the insurance and get your money back if possible.

If that doesn't work and working there isn't that great anymore (no friends, not learning much, career dead-end, no perspective of higher salary, etc).. I would look for another job if I could afford that financially.

In big corporations, as much as your boss may like you and the work you do, his/her hands might be tied: no leverage with HR, they have a "problem" to deal with, since official channels have been used to complain.. now that might be making him/her look bad to other higher ups, etc.

Best of luck.
DSF Announces Winner of the 2016 Malcolm Tredinnick Memorial Prize
Is there much of a market for high-end authentica luxury goods where the buyers don't have an in-person experience? I was under the impression that part of the reason for luxury goods, beyond signaling after the purchase, was the shopping experience itself.
