For most people, effective "self control" is really placing yourself in situations that don't tempt you, or don't make it easy for you to slip up. [Effective, long-term] Self control happens _before_ the situation, not during.

I love me some chocolate chip cookies, and if there are any in the house I might ignore them when I'm rested, or full, or energized. But at some point I'm going to be tired and hungry and feeling lazy, and those cookies will begin to disappear.

Help Save the USA
You think that's lonely? Try not choosing a side. I'm both a fascist and a dirty commie because I choose focusing on actions, policies, and outcomes over labels and ideologies. And you can't even talk about actions, policies, or outcomes, because if you get it 'wrong' (regardless of whether you're actually wrong) out come the labels and closed go the ears.

Both sides are so busy trying to force their ideologies on all Americans through a tyranny of the majority that they are simply incapable of reason.

> the ban will create a barrier to innovation, economic development and global impact. Immigrants bring world class skills and expertise to build advanced technology that can improve the lives of people everywhere.

Perhaps this will happen on its own, but if companies are really worried about this, they should have more remote offices (I know Mozilla is remote-friendly, I'm talking in general).

Those are the optics that Trump cares about, job numbers. If tech can get the narrative that job growth will be outside the US w/o skilled immigrants, perhaps that will resonate?

For SSH, I've used Prompt and iSSH on my iDevices. Prompt seems nicer, but iSSH has a built-in X server which makes for some interesting possibilities. Prompt has some integration with 1Password, but I haven't explored it much.

There are things that make SSH from iDevices a pain though, such as the 10-minute limit on background tasks. This can be overcome by using screen/tmux, or by using Mosh instead of SSH (I haven't tried Mosh yet), but it's still annoying.

One thing that BlackBerry did right and I wish iOS would copy is the Unified Inbox. Your messages from any app that did messaging would get funneled into the Unified Inbox. So Signal, Messages, SMS, Mail, Facebook, etc would all get funneled into one place. It was really neat and really made the BlackBerry useful as a communications tool.
What would you suggest calling it that is 3 words or less?

Guess which of those is more productive. (In general and over the entire population. Of course there are dozens of examples of these same ingredients being used in a productive manner, but even then, after a proof-of-concept, if it really has economic value I think I'd rather separate it from all of that other stuff)

Tech companies to meet on legal challenge to Trump immigration order
I suspect this is part of someone's game plan. Get the disaster elected then impeach him so someone else who would never in a lifetime manage to be elected president on his own power can take over to then do a whole bunch of stuff that would have never happened otherwise.

Trump was using the GOP just as much as the GOP was trying to use Trump, the question now is how is the GOP going to control the problem they created without ending up in the gutter themselves. They are all scared and probably with good reason, any impeachment proceedings with Trump as the subject will automatically include a horde of very angry and potentially dangerous people. Right now they might be wondering if it is better to let things go to hell under Trump than to risk the wrath of a good 30% of the population.
>This is already exactly how normal, hailable, regulated taxis work

It's funny, isn't it? Every pro-Uber article around here talks about the over-regulated, controlled taxi environment and how damaging it is. Then a service appears that goes the other way: peer-to-peer, no middle-man. Now people complain that it could be dangerous, and they need regulation and control?

Which is it? And what makes anyone believe Uber (or themselves) know what that "proper level" is?

Welcome, ACLU
90 days that could be expanded with the same ease that this was implemented with, and it includes people who have already been vetted and are legal immigrants. And you are trivializing how impactful 90 days is.

When his platform ran on the promises of bans, you'll forgive people for calling it as such, as this is just step one. Stop splitting hairs, if the word ban upsets you, take it up with the POTUS and his team and his platform.
1. Concentration is one edge of a two edged sword. The other edge is relaxation. You use a balance of concentration and relaxation (not too tense, not too relaxed) and rest your awareness on your object of meditation. The breath, in this case, can be your object. Simply rest your awareness on the breath. Use concentration to keep your mind from drifting, and use relaxation to keep your mind from getting too tense. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLjelIPg3ys

2. If you're watching the movie whilst being aware that you're watching it (watching yourself watching the movie), that is meditation. Otherwise, you're simply distracted from your basic awareness.
So if you ordered something of dubious legality, and your top corporate lawyer suggested it was unlikely to pass a trial, you would just sack them and ask the next one the same thing again? Like you said in the parent comment.

This isn't behavior that should be encouraged, neither in you nor in Trump, and your original sentiment that we shouldn't worry about it isn't something I'd subscribe to.
Hi,

I am retired, but I worked at a European Telco as a R&D engineer my last 12 years and as a manager before that. I was 58 when I left. When I was in my forties I experienced the same rejection as you when I tried ti find a new job. Fortunately is was during the Internet bubble and there was a great demand for people speaking English and having knowledge in IP/Web and Java programming (nobody said "coding" at that time). So I was a bit astonished to be accepted but all in all those 12 years in R&D were deeply interesting, sometime frightening and often frustrating. But I am grateful to the people who recruited me.
I never experienced some difficulty to learn or to adapt, even now at 60. I look to start a new business right now.
My tip would be to not be impatient, stay where you are while it pays well. Things change quickly in the tech domain. No technology or business process is adopted in a tsunami manner, adoption is usually very slow (decades) and there are always several technologies in competition. But meanwhile you might get some orthogonal or complementary knowledge (Coursera/eDX) to what you have today in an effort to show dedication and capacity to learn. Who knows, in a future job this new qualification could make the difference. Good luke!
> I'm 30, and at my office everyone calls me 'kid'.

Hey, same here. Well, nobody actually calls me that but I'm the youngest at 30 on my team, working for a company that has a pretty large percentage of employees that have been here for 20, even 30+ years. I can't remember the exact number but I want to say that something like 40% have been here for 10+ years. We're a medium size manufacturing company, so that's a lot of people. It really is in stark contrast to what you tend to hear about the bay area.
Ms. Yates has presented no Constitutional argument against President Trump's order. She has not even presented a basic legal argument against it. Her one-page letter [0] cites no statute, no section of the Constitution, no precedent or case law. It does not claim that she is bound to defy President Trump in order to remain fast to her oath of office.

It merely asserts that it is her duty to ensure that the DoJ "always seeks justice" and that she does not feel that allowing DoJ resources to compile an argument in support of Mr. Trump's order is consistent with that.

Remember, as a member of the executive branch, she also has an obligation to respect and serve the chief executive duly elected and installed by the American people. Ms. Yates is [was] an unelected appointee.

While I agree in principle that blatant and serious constitutional violations (the only type someone who is not a member of the judiciary can recognize) require real defiance, if there truly is a cogent Constitutional defense to be made here, would one not expect it to be presented? Ms. Yates does not appear to be defending the Constitution in any meaningful way here, and indeed, she does not claim to be doing so in her letter.

Well with HR point of view, US citizen gets cut. Not just in this scenario my friend. I am in this business(recruitment). Let me give you another tough scenario (forget H1b).

Two people in same job with similar performance one is US citizen who is contracting and while other is US citizen who is full time with company. As we know the contractor salary is very high.Layoffs are coming, But still HR will fire full time US citizen who is getting less pay because to fire a full time employee we need to wait till next lay offs or provide a big reason to fire him. While on other hand you can fire Contractor any time without any formalities.

My point is if you want to abuse H1b program you will abuse it no matter what. It all depends on work culture(HR) of a COMPANY.

Here is a good summary from Techcrunch. TLDR: the EO shouldn't invalidate Privacy Shield protections, but the whole framework is flawed and does not guarantee privacy of EU citizens. The relevant parts:

> The spokeswoman has now sent us a statement in which the EC asserts that Privacy Shield “does not rely on the protections under the U.S. Privacy Act”.

> Critics of Privacy Shield –– including the lawyer who brought the original challenge against Safe Harbor — have consistently argued the arrangement contains the same fundamental flaws as its invalidated predecessor, given ongoing U.S. government agency surveillance programs accessing European citizens’ data.

> Btw, can Windows 10 use Kerberos auth from KDC that is not AD yet? Preferably without enrolling? Simply running ticket viewer, entering principal and password, getting ticket? And using it for accessing services (file sharing, for example) then? Just like macOS and Linux can?

Depends on what answer you are looking for. You can technically join a Windows machine to any arbitrary kerberos domain, but since Windows has a very "unique" user/group model all it will do is let you access kerberized services.

You can also just install the MIT kerberos client, but any software will need to explicitly support it (Firefox does, at the very least).

Ultimately though, the best solution is to just set up an AD domain and a trust to the kerberos realm you want to use services on :/
Scabbing is breaking the strike. Uber dispatched drivers to break the strike. I'll say it again, it's not complicated.

Scabs have historically operated under the cover of a private entity. This was the express function of the Pinkertons, for example. You can't rewrite the history of American labor and what its accomplished with neoliberal circumlocutions. Just because corporations became clever enough to describe scabs as "independent contractors" operating under "complex algorithms" and "surge pricing," doesn't mean we have to believe them.
Barriers to Entry
...and clickbait targeted to get concerned parents right in the feels.
Yes, but there are reports of the USB hubs in these particular monitors being unreliable. Anyway why do you expect your monitor to have Ethernet?
Agreed, I think 32" 4K is the sweet spot for Linux & Windows. The PPI is 140, which is "marginally retina" -- you can see pixels if you get close. Higher PPI is sharper even once you get past "retina", but it's definitely a case of diminishing returns. But the nice thing about 140 PPI is that you can run without scaling if you absolutely need to. You have to squint and you wouldn't want to do it too often, but it does work for those rare apps that don't scale well.

And the 32" size is about perfect too, IMO. The height is about the maximum you can view without head movement.
Ummmmm ok it's not a ban, because they haven't banned immigration. They've increased the amount of time for somebody to enter the country from 1 of 7 countries for 90 days longer than the current 120 days. This is not a ban on immigration, because immigrants can and still come here.
It is awful when you get hit by this. Modern tax law absolutely wrecks startup founders who are not already rich. It's quite stunning.

This is so much generic FUD, any specifics of the "garbage" you're talking about. It honestly sounds like the generic FUD that was repeated about Linux a decade ago and you either haven't tried it recently or you haven't learned how to use it.*

It's political grandstanding, nothing more. The DOJ reviewed the executive order and found it legal.

Yates thought it would be better to go out with a bang than a whimper.

I'm sure the DNC will find her a nice comfy job after this.

> If this turns out actually to be a problem, introduce a second wrapper EXE that you spawn, supplying environment stuff and arguments for subchild EXE. Fork, exec the wrapper, have it do its thing, then have it exec the EXE you actually want (no fork).

It doesn't have to be that complicated. After the fork, in the child, you can construct your own local environment array, and pass it to execve or one of the other exec functions that takes an environ argument. This is perfectly safe behavior in a multi-threaded program.
So I should store everything in a mutex. Gotcha.
> Why's everyone so focused on IT? Everyone can learn how to code, it's not a real science.

I think that's exactly why people are focusing on IT. The H-1B program is meant to allow companies to hire foreigners with rare skills that are hard to find domestically. In reality it's abused to import cheap labor and undercut average American workers doing common work like building applications or administering systems. There should be no problem continuing to hire PhDs and other foreigners with actual unique skillsets at $130k.
Starting wars has historically been a popular and effective tool for consolidating power within the country. So even if Trump doesn't care much about any particular conflict he might start a war anyway if he feels that his power is threatened.
This is great news. The ACLU has always been important, and is even more important right now as the disregard for civil liberties continues to grow in our government (at all levels including federal, state and local.)

I set up a monthly donation to the ACLU last year, and encourage everyone who can afford to do so to join in.

EDIT: Clarify wording.
if there's really a scarcity, then there shouldn't be a problem paying higher wages as these bills require right - especially given how huge money-spinners successful drug molecules can be.
> Unfortunately I have a feeling that "must haves" are different enough from person to person to make a semi-smart phone impossible.

Indeed, my "must haves" are pretty different -- I can live without maps (I can get around NYC pretty easily without looking at a map) and I don't even use streaming music as it is (I wouldn't mind carrying around an MP3 player). Hell, I could even go without a camera and it'd be fine.

What I'd want, though, is Facebook Messenger in addition to text messaging. Too much of my communication is based around it to have to go back to text messaging.

Also, as much as I hate to admit it, apps like Venmo really do make my life easier, and apps like Tinder seem to have become tragic necessities for 20-somethings in the modern world...
reread your comment that I replied to... first three freaking words of it are you calling it an "immigration ban". I guess it was a case of lack of better words?
Who do you think is driving a lot of the research work at the biotech start ups that the Merc and others are buying up?
You're right, Uber has introduced a type of convenience that you can't ignore.

I launched RideConnect on PH yesterday, and it's a different, private take on Uber and Libretaxi.

The big difference is that anyone can create their own rideshare for their community, customers or whatever group it is that needs a ride.

We will be introducing a billing system in a few months at which time it can be used by Uber drivers to setup their own customer communities and give them rides directly.

As for privacy, we put control in the hands of the riders to demand background checks, screening and additional validations from drivers. It's basic at the moment but we have a deal going that I'm expecting will make this totally awesome.

Ask HN: How can tech companies promote a socially liberal government
Tech companies in general are supportive of socially liberal policies (Abortion rights, LGBT rights, etc). How can they promote such views in the government? One way I can think of is to open more offices in swing states. As their employees tend to be more socially liberal, this will help elect more liberal candidates in the government? Any other ideas?

I think you are mixing up cause and effect - it's not easier from a financial standpoint for companies in NY to pay high salaries, it just happens that companies who can afford high salaries are located there because it's easier to get top talent at those locations.
I've thought about FUSE filesystems before, as a way to express a data container based language (such as APL, SmallTalk, MUMPS, etc.) as a Unix/Linux filesystem. Basically as a tool to expose the internal data and allow external tools the ability to process the data. Is there anything written that might talk about PROs and CONs in the design process for these?
