Saudi is a big buyer of US weapons. Considering how hard Trump tries to please and borrow influence from military, I doubt he is going to do anything about it.

Race and religion matters, if you are not in the league, you better make sure you have power or money, or something to offer. At least to me, that is what Trump believes.
Try to come to Germany, lots of Iranian expats study and work here. There are a few very good CS programs aswell (TU Munich for example). Most Phd positions come with a salary of ~1700-3400€ a month and there are no significant tuition fees. You might need to do a two year master degree first though, those are usually not funded, but there are no tuition fees either. Courses on the Phd and Masters level are taught in English.

Once one critical component in the framework is no longer good enough it can be very difficult to upgrade.

Frameworks aggregate many dependencies. Managing the dependencies that deliver value while ignoring those that are irrelevant can net out as more productive.
Estonia doesn't have too many people in general. From 2011 census Muslims made up 0.14% of the population.

I have called a couple of times and at bare minimum they asked me the zip code I am calling from. Cold logic would dictate that if you are calling from a zip code outside their voting district, they will ignore you. However, imagine you are getting thousands of calls every single day from all over the country. As a human being, can you really stand to flatly ignore that day in day out?

> At best, there is negligible evidence that major non-MS AV products give a net improvement in security.

I apologize for present anecdote when data is needed but I manage a Windows network with 100+ users and on a daily basis, Kaspersky catches 5-10 emails from Outlook that have nasty attachments. It prevents my users from opening these innocuous looking but nasty Invoice-Jan-2017.docx files. Without a good AV there is no way to know which Invoice-Jan-2017 has a virus/worm vs. which doesn't. Relying on the Office security feature is not sufficient because actual vendor/customers send macro-enabled files to us regularly.
This kind of means: there will be multiple versions of '1984' from multiple corporates + state.

Race and religion are for the masses. It's a tool to divide and conquer them. The elite only speak the language of power and money. The Saudis make their people follow archaic Islamic laws with sexual repression while their princes are sexually abusing Americans in America and their royals have harems filled with Americans prostitutes. It's ridiculous.
I'm an immigrant too - I've been here 9 years, but now I'm getting out.

Canada, Australia and New Zealand are viable options for me, and I've already been invited by 2 of these countries.

Again intelligence agencies from US, UK, Germany, Canada and Australia all have stated that engaging moderate Muslims is vital to solving the problem. I trust them to know what they're talking about.

Instead we get bizarre policies like this one from Trump.
when it comes to Islam Japan goes well past "far right populism". It's not a coincidence there's less than 70k Muslims in Japan.

Neat! I'm usually very cynical of JavaScript based projects but a lot of my life outside of work I spend digging deep into obscure genres from strange small towns around the world, I generally find the best discovery mechanisms are last.fm (yes it's still got a fantastic recommendation engine), what.cd used to lead me to a lot of new artists / albums, digging through various forums and subreddits and pandora's music genome project has been quite useful as well (also they just finally launched their all HTML5 interface because flash.... well it's flash) and I end up posting and sharing music with friends on https://mondotunes.org because everyone knows me as the music digger and geek and asks what I'm listening to all the time, ironically for the sake of ease I generally link to poor quality YouTube clips of songs which is somewhat intentional so that if people enjoy it they might purchase the album or go to a gig etc... I currently subscribe to Pandora, Apple Music (which is improving very, very quickly), Spotify (which I might drop soon) and last.fm because I like to support their work.

This exploit isn't in PID 1 and neither are all of the other things people claim are in PID1. PID1 in systemd doesn't contain much more than it needs to, it handles parsing unit files which could arguably be split out but that still leaves something highly privileged to parse them, but just about everything else would be a major pain to separate from PID 1 as most of it is how to walk the dependency graph from where it currently is to the target that it's trying to get to. It also needs to handle supervision and other core parts of init but by and large most of the claims out there that everything and the kitchen sink is being put into PID 1 are completely baseless.

> similar to how we surface birthday notifications or where we let you know if a friend is currently active on Messenger

Guess it doesn't matter then. I'm rarely in the messenger homescreen, but when I am, those are just as annoying as ads anyway, with no way to remove them permanently (which they gleefully tell you when you hide them).
It's no surprise that Facebook is valued so much. Although, HN would loath this move but these ads don't feel intrusive at all. They are already making ~$2.5B in profit in a quarter and who knows, that could possibly be just scratching the surface. Facebook is smart enough to gradually up the amount of inventory without vexing its users.

Zuckerberg's genius was to realise that their primary objective is to create an engagement platform and gradually move towards monetisation; grand vision, or plain luck, it's working marvellously.
What I got from this paper is that the authors are using a flavor of symbolic logic called "temporal logic" to formalize concepts fundamental to the event-driven programming paradigm. The notation seems to make intuitive sense as an extension to the formal logic I learned in my undergraduate discrete math course.

I'm not all the way through the paper but I actually find it quite helpful in explaining the essential meaning of these concepts. I haven't worked with these concepts much, and the tutorials I've read in my free time have focused more on practical use of various implementations of eg futures rather than explaining their actual abstract meaning.

Caveat: I am not familiar with this academic domain so this is my own interpretation. If someone who is better versed can elaborate or correct me, please, please do so.
"It's a bit more interesting wrt. most 9/11 hijackers being Saudis: I think it's pretty much confirmed at this point that it was a deliberate choice by al Qaida, attempting to deteriorate US-Saudi relations."

I think that Saudi Arabia is one of the biggest problem in the world. In fact, I wish Trump would have banned them too or even suggested a regime change:

For Iran I have high hopes. They started the fundamentalist bullshit and I have the impression they may be the first to get rid of it. In fact, there are first signs (German link, try google translate):

Does Microsoft security essentials not scan an attachment when you download/open it?
This is an extremely important question. Empirically, exit visas seem like an extremely good feature for having a fucked-up country (North Korea, USSR, Warsaw Pact, Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy all had them, Saudi Arabia does for foreign workers, and very few others have them)
Trump's base right now are people who have never met an Iranian, and would probably be quite happy to see your coworkers sent to Guantanamo. Trump's policies will stand because his base stands by them, and because the GOP rank-and-file fear Trump, and his people in the midterm elections.

If you want to do something, use your political awakening to help change some minds. At both the top and bottom of the power chain, doesn't matter. Steer the conversation
>I hope you're right, but at least for the next 2 years, who/what is going to stop them?

The courts. It's our only option. There are multiple pending lawsuits against Trump already. A civil rights group filed suit against him on day one for breaching the emoluments clause of the constitution.

Who says they want to solve the problem of radicalization?. After the cold war now we have the new crusade and for that to last the best it to radicalize both sides. It's easier to manipulate people when there's a war , fictional or real , going on.
Are you the target audience for this blog post, though? As far as I can tell, the post talks about one-user setups.

I'd argue that the starting point in a corporate environment, where you can assume that users can be quite negligent, is fundamentally different from a one-user setup, especially since I agree that you can't "fix" the user in corporate.

You want the e-mails gone, not just a warning about it, but a warning is perfectly fine if you're one person and have an idea what you're doing.
My deepest apologies to you for the mindless horror that has taken hold of this country. Best of luck, brother.
> many terrorists involved in incidents are natural born citizens of allied countries.

Stated differently, the majority are made up of muslims that have been in the western world for more than one generation and have still not assimilated. If feel that you're making a stronger case for limiting muslim immigration.

> this is going to alienate moderate Muslims who Western intelligence agencies have unanimously and categorically stated are the only people capable of solving this problem of radicalization.

Would it not be wise for the west to wait until moderate muslims get their house in order before opening their borders?

All that being said, I don't support a unilateral ban on muslims, I think it's stupid. What I think is even more stupid though is how the left is trying to compare Trump to Hitler. Especially considering that we wants to give greater access to the press of diverging viewpoints and is building a larger building to accommodate those people, while Obama only gave media access to outlets that presented him in favorable light and severely limited access to the only conservative news station (FOX). He wants the average citizen to have greater access to firearms which is our final defense against a tyrannical government, while the left have been fighting to take away peoples 2nd amendments rights. He wants to de-regulated the economy by quote "75%", while the left want to take greater and greater control.

I'm not saying that leftists are like Hitler, because I don't resort to school yard name calling, but saying that Trump is like Hitler is just the left going absolutely bonkers when it comes to losing the election, and seeing public opinion shifting away from the politically correct non-sense that's been pluaging public discourse.

I use to be a leftist, but I hate what the left have become, I don't even know what they stand for anymore, and behavior like this just pushes me further and further away.

Thanks for both your replies, yours and Ian's

I've also known Telefonica engineers and they are some of the best. Maybe my bitterness against the behemoth clouded my words and I apologize for that.

The problem, as Lance said, is their inability to execute anything that doesn't provide them a direct, noticeable impact on sales (said to me by a Telefonica exec)

What I'm truly sorry for is the fact that the Firefox OS flopped. As an engineer, I know that you can build an awesome product but the execs may trash it if it doesn't go in the expected direction. And, with Telefonica, that happens too often.
Europe still has some of the best universities and allowance programs :)
Yes, basically have it somewhat stealthy, where i would use the laptop as a laptop and sit the backpack anywhere in the room. And moving the video card to the HMD wouldn't make that much sense for me because that's the main desktop part i would like to stay desktop class.

And I think Google and Microsoft are hoping to get a version of this with hololens and tango, where they run machine models and cloud resources when needed and just get the results/models to run on the mobile devices. Still very much in its infancy though.
Pollan's famous "maxim" manages to be condescending, unhelpful and inaccurate - all at the same time.

Eat food: duh

Not too much: again, thanks?

Mostly plants: Oh you mean like, sugars and starches - the most toxic constituents of the modern diet.

Pollan is the prototypical Bay-Area insufferable foodie. His documentary was a cringe-fest of pseudo-spiritual fawning.

Rene Girard talks about how food has become a new status symbol as people compete for bragging rights about how good they eat; Pollan is their patron saint.

Ask HN: What is it like to work at Netflix (2017)
I'm considering an opportunity to join Netflix engineering team as senior engineer. I'm interested in hearing from folks who either work there or know someone close working there. Do you feel pressure all the time wondering if your performance is good enough? How do you succeed at such environment?
Yeah, as this fiasco unfolds, the last thing we need is people lumping countries together while complaining about other people lumping countries together.

Dubai is a city in a different country. Same peninsula, but there's like seven countries dividing up that chunk of land.
Oh, that's just the big problem with Android texting. I'm avoiding Google for other reasons.
Conspiracy theory? No. Conspiracy? Yes. I often wonder what the Middle East and Iran would look like today if the CIA and the Brits had not overthrown the democratically elected Mosaddegh government.
It's a very tough problem.

Of course, there's going to be the typical reddit-like absolute nonsense bickering, deceit, lying, disingenuousness, half-truths, etc. But within this mess there is frequently some extremely good information.

And then there's the academic/professional opinion, which would tend to be less verbose and higher quality, but then we know from experience that now and then these people are a little casual with the truth.

I would like to see a site where people can go to (as much as is practically possible) solve disagreements on popular topics. Take climate change: I would like to see the problem clearly described in (as much as is practically possible) layman's terms, so the average voter can understand it. For those interested in more detail or technical depth, drill down hierarchically into deeper levels of documentation.

Also, I would like to see any issues or loose ends raised by those who are not completely on board (aka "deniers", because only certain thoughts are allowed these days) debunked thoroughly, or left with a status of "we don't know how this fits into our theory".

To me it would be tremendously more efficient if rather than bickering on the internet, we could simply link to the objective (reviewed by both "sides") facts. Wouldn't having a resource like this been a good idea for the Clinto campaign, rather than hiring people to infiltrate internet forums? It makes me wonder why this approach wasn't taken.
Apple's iMessage does this, each device has a public/private key that is shared. When you send a message it is encrypted with all of the recipient's devices public private keys. If the device is not on at the time Apple holds on to the encrypted message but cannot read it because the private key is stored on the device. The only downside to this is that you cannot sync old messages to a new device.
That would probably be an EVOS rather than an EVA.

There are seven countries targeted in this edict. Why the other six if it's actually focused on a single one?

I would bet you will still be able to attend soon. If you read the draft of the executive order you'd see that it is a temporary ban until they can start the improved vetting process. Your hopes should be way higher!
There is this section in the draft order, which presumably could allow for phd students to enter the US as being in the national interest.

(g) Notwithstanding a suspension pursuant to subsection (c) of this section or pursuant to
a Presidential proclamation described in subsection (e) ofthis section, the Secretaries of
State and Homeland Security may, on a case-by-case basis, and when in the national
interest, issue visas or other immigration benefits to nationals of countries for which visas
and benefits are otherwise blocked.
>I don't think there are any real Shiite terror group.

Hezbollah is a banned Shia outfit that is involved in killing in many countries including Syria.
Humanities grad students have a _much_ worse deal than STEM ones, typically.

From what I've seen, for STEM, the assumption is that your tuition is covered, you get a stipend that you can actually live on, your medical insurance is covered. For humanities, the working assumption is that none of that is true, and if some of it happens to be true, you're in luck.

Oh, and the humanities degrees often take longer too.
The answer is nothing is wrong. Some form of shell, stack or scripting language is a super useful tool in the prototyping stages. It might not meet timing requirements for a final system, but at the beginning of a project it's great.
Twitter doesn't put ads in direct messages. I haven't used Snapchat or Allo myself, but the other ones I said I use don't have ads in messages.
To a point. Good leaders are supposed to explain what is good, useful and especially why in case someone does not understand.

That is called propaganda though.
+1 for eneloops. Don't know what kind of black magic is in them but they're fabulous.
Hmm, Iran actively supports ~100 Shiite terror groups in Syria and Iraq. If you speak Arabic, here is an article in Al-Hayat.

And of course Hezbollah in Lebanon.
That makes sense. For most soldiers, a handgun is a backup weapon. If you're expecting trouble, you bring something bigger.
To the military, handguns need to take minimum attention when not in use. Hence the requirement for an explicit safety.
Smart hire - Barra is a great hardware evangelist, quite technical and was a great personality for Xiaomi that wasn't a typical "technical" person so could appeal to the masses. Oculus/FB really needs that.
I don't see any caveats in the article about the kind of user that the advice is intended for.
At least in my case:

- I get too much spam, so I tend to check email less.
- It's not as "real time" as I sometimes need it to be. Sill feels more like mail than like conversation.
- I like to know when people read my messages (I know there's apps that allow this, but it's not ubiquitous)
- I like to know when people are typing (aka, are currently in the conversation)
- Different email programs send/format emails differently. Some seem to keep all the replies attached to the bottom of the latest message in a way my email program can't figure out and collapse.

I'm a fan of email tbh, and I wish more resources were invested in making it better, but I just don't think it lies in the same "space" as instant messaging.
> You can probably fit them all in one train.

Oh, very subtle, I almost gave you the benefit of the doubt.
It's funny how he got stuck at American dream at the end.
The article says you're supposed to use the gyro for fine aim.
And not just archive it, but sign it, time stamp it, verify it, etc.. I see little to prevent someone using ML to auto-generate archives worth of fake history. Imagine a purported DB dump of Reddit with billions of subtlely fraudulent comments scattered throughout.
I never understood why this model (giving an app away entirely for free) wasn't considered predatory pricing. Especially for the companies who can bankroll a business with a loss for a long enough time to gobble up market share.
I wanted to say that before I had a kid I was much like you :) but my noprocrast kicked in :)
I think you're oversimplifying things a bit. Yes, a lot of HID have a concept of a simple button press/click/action which you can abstract away, but there are many actions that don't directly map to that: function keys, lights, analog inputs (i.e. thumbstick), rumble. And then you have the devices which don't really map to buttons like trackpads, draw tablets, face/eye tracking and Wii Mote-like devices.

Your argument is a bit like saying it's stupid we have all these Graphics API's, it should be unified a long time ago since all they do is set pixels on a monitor to a certain color.
