This is a conspiracy theory on the level of the birth certificate myth.

- Nothing in the administration's actions, or the individual actors' history would lead an observer to the conclusion that they're capable of executing a complex and coordinated plan. One example is the press release for Holocaust Memorial Day: it was probably an amateur mistake not to specifically mention jews. But they're now defending that as intentional, repeating it, and getting critiqued in the harshest possible terms even by right-wing zionist groups. There is no universe in which a dictatorial Trump would not profit from the support of jews in the US and Israel.

- This "theory" could also apply to almost any policy initiative whose legality is questionable.

- The idea that it's a staged event to distract from a reshuffling of the National Security Council is laughable. Nobody (unfortunately) cares about him braking a tradition of keeping the national security side, and the partisan political side of the White House somewhat separate. That's because the majority of people already think everything in government is party politics – the idea of professionals acting with motives beyond Breitbart and HuffPost is laughed at[0]

Don't fall for this stuff:

- It's easily attacked, and you lose credibility

- Protests are actually more effective than you might think. Even the widely-mocked Occupy has made the 1% vs 99% narrative pervasive in political discussions, probably laying the foundation for Sanders' success. Neither the Arab spring nor the Ukrainian revolution, or the protests leading to German reunification had the power to topple regimes willing to use violence, but they did (not saying that they all ended well, only that they had the power the effect change)

- This administration is terrible under pressure, see that Holocaust thing above. Continuing protests will create more and more visible failures. His approval ratings are already down, meaning that his voters do react to his failures. The business world, who started out trying to remain neutral, is now almost universally opposed. The bureaucracy is encouraged to sabotage him, leak, refuse, or simply walk away with all the expertise he needs.

- If the current level of backlash is sustained, Trump will not be president in half a year. He is desperate for approval (c. f. inauguration crowd) and will just walk away.

0: examples if you're skeptical: Roberts voting for Obamacare, or possibly the State departments "dissent memos", if it could be shown that there are people signing both the current one as well as the one criticising Obama on Syria)
Opposing an ideology necessary involves individuals. Pretending it's skin color that motivates this will continue to result in endless defeats on the 'everyone is welcome' side you appear to be trying to defend.
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos: ‘we do not support’ Trump immigration order
The energy stuff is real. I've been woken in the night with energy surging through my body. I'm working on having conscious out of body experiences and on raising Kundalini. I've experienced energy sent remotely several times.

There are different paths. Some are faster than others. Some teachers don't mention all the most useful information for speeding up the process. The main key is to persevere.
This is Bannon's strategy, not Trumps. I don't think he is playing a part.

Trump government tables new H-1B bill; techies, IT firms brace for tough future
It's neither flexible nor semantic.

Flexibility is what allowed webpages to be "responsive" before media-queries even existed, and semantics is what allows accessibility, search engines, and other html parsing tools ("readability" in Firefox and Safari, ...) to function better.

The only advantage it has is that it's old and predictable. That's why it's still used to format emails for instance, it's reliable and works on most supports.
This has been going on in the US for a very long time. This is nothing new. Nothing Trump is doing is new or that different. It's just when the policies are applied State side people are like oh my God. When the policies are applied to other people or other countries, it's like oh yeah business as usual. George W. Bush destroyed at least one stable country, like completely destroyed it, and ruined the relatively stable lives of millions of people all in the name of saving them from a bad dictator. Obama killed scores of innocent people. But that's business as usual. It was a matter of time until your chickens come home to roost.

And it this point there is little that can be done about what Trump's going to do. Too little, too late as were. If people were more passionate before about actually defending human rights of all people, then maybe we would not be here.

only if you don't have enterprise customers. Those will continue to run IE11 for the foreseeable future as IE11 will remain supported in Windows 10 until 2025.

While Microsoft is pushing Edge as an IE replacement, Edge is still lacking features and looks too different from IE for companies to feel comfortable pushing it to their users without retraining them.
Oh wow that wasn't there last time I ESTA'd. Good thing I got that business visa a few years ago.

LibreTaxi – A free and open source alternative to Uber and Lyft
The problem with screen readers is summarized "Screen readers assume the content inside a table is tabular". Are divs better just because they are undefined? It seems to me that the problem would more easily be solved by adding some attributes to skip tabular treatment or to add captions, rather than ditching tables altogether. Table elements like <caption> could even be used to identify and access parts of the UI pages.
Many of the other companies are doing it because they are forced to by government regulation, often termed "compliance cars". By putting it all in on EV Tesla has more skin in the game. They've certainly achieved more in the past, and it looks likely to continue in the future, even when up against models that are effectively subsidized by petrol and diesel models.

[video]What I Think About New York and Whi I Would Go There
It will be most interesting to see whether Kalanick follows through with his promise to discuss the EO with Trump [0], and whether having a seat at Trump's shiny business table actually amounts to anything. If it does not, it proves that the council only serves as a prop to promote Trump. This administration is not beyond using cheap props for marketing purposes. [1]

If the council holds no actual sway, Kalanick should then visibly and publicly resign from it if he truly stands behind his commitment to fairness. I'm withholding judgement until then.

Perhaps not to Americans, but to the rest of the world the VP seems like the stabler choice. The administration's alignment would move from Chaotic to Lawful. I happen to value predictability and forces that can be reasoned with.
I don't know if developers even care about semantic markup anymore, just have your 5 meg of JavaScript squirt out a bundle of divs and to hell with accessibility.
Isn't this more of a sign that Voiceover is broken, as even a "true" single column table should not be read that way?
It was only 1 hour.
Doesn't anyone ever protest in America? It feels like this concept is so new to you.

Yes - some people might be less sympathetic, those are not the people the protest set out to influence. It's the people who haven't made up their minds yet, the people who think that "This will all blow over soon" and want to get on with their lives in their bubble. They NEED to be inconvenienced to react, to make up their mind that this is something they can't ignore. Only then when you engage the apathetic can the protest grow, and protests must grow otherwise most of them fizzle.
No there is, try using a screen reader, it reads out the header in front of every cell, its really hard to understand vs a semantic document with css styling for people not living with disability.

I agree.

And yet there's a big difference if your BATNA in case company no work is a mostly smooth transition into a high paying career, or life on the streets followed by a walmart greeter job, maybe.

Until I came to the US I never even realized how much you really get from even a moderately privileged upbringing. It's crazy.

Simple things like the difference between working summer jobs in high school or being sent to education camps and such.

Or getting your own car at <driving age> vs. borrowing your mum's.

Or the ability to go to college that isn't close enough to hometown so you can stay living with your parents because it's cheaper.

Or the difference in perspective between The Boss being someone you aspire to become, or someone you hate and despise because they make your life miserable.

The cultural differences are the hardest to overcome.

There are multiple ways to look at that.

My previous job was on a product that used CoffeeScript and Backbone. As a stereotypical front end hipster, I was worried at first. I thought: "This is really old stuff in JS time. There are shiny new things out there". But I soon saw that while it would be more fun to use a new framework/language, the old ones are _totally fine_.

CoffeeScript was last updated a week ago. Backbone was updated several times last year and 1.4 is expected some time soon. There are online communities, there is documentation, there are answered questions on stackoverflow. Yeah, everything feels a bit old, but there won't be breaking changes to the API every few months and that blog post from 2015 that solves your exact problem is still useful!

Try looking at it like Angular is a language, not a framework. Sure, there are fancier ones coming out all the time, but that doesn't mean you have to switch every time that happens. The one you know has a bunch of apps built in it, you can still learn about its intricacies and there will be jobs for you for quite some time.
> Obama got elected and some indulged in variations of the 'he's Hitler' BS

Being called Hitler by "some" after simply being elected, unrelated to any action is definitely useless "Hitler BS".

> but the current reaction by the extreme neo-left is a magnitude of order worse

Drawing parallels to current actions might be hyperbolic or extreme or unfair, but not as dumb - definitely not orders of magnitude.

"I seems like everything is being constantly interpreted and even reinterpreted as language changes but the law doesn't"

I don't think it's so much language changes as society changes. Social norms and taboos change. Technology changes. It's like how code needs maintenance because it breaks. The world is changing. This is a feature not a bug.

Hypothetical example. Lets say there were noise regulations designed before electricity. But once you have electricity, now people have loud speakers. How do we interpret the law? Does the existing law really work?

"I'd like to see laws come with unit tests, "under circumstance a, b and c, person x would be at fault""

Causing financial damage and harm to people/companies not responsible for the Trump's immigration rule is pure stupidity and wrong. If Uber as a company doesn't want to be part of it, it's their choice to do so.
There is a fundamental problem in general (not in my particular approach) which is that we don't know how to do non-convex optimization. There are many problems where it's just not possible with our current techniques to know if a minimum is local or global.

Of course, with better tuning one can obtain better optima in general (that's what the whole field is doing) and it's possible that I'm not applying the best techniques and I would get less randomness if I had a better model. But as far as I understand, even the best models can converge to different local optima depending on initialization.

Exactly the reason I don't have a more accepting attitude when it comes to left wing positions I might actually agree with. My political disagreements are what they are but the idea of providing any validation to what amounts to Bolshevik-style tactics keeps me on the sidelines.

As an example: I am a free market libertarian who agrees with marriage equality, but the means by which 'activists' attempt to engage issues turns me off. For example, harassing Mike Pence at his house -- I found that tactic childish and off-putting and immature (and divisive) as well as ineffective. Those tactics don't create positive change, they promote Balkanization of people who might otherwise be convinced to agree with a reasonable position.

France's violent anti-Uber protests -- regardless of issue, I'm less likely to listen to potentially reasonable positions when they are presented in violent or disruptive ways. In fact, those sort of things make me less likely to consider their views.

When a child screams for chocolate -- that's less compelling than if they ask in a reasoned, mature way, presenting facts and arguments rather than throwing things and parading around the house in perpetual outrage.
Exactly. I would guess that eliminating the robotic arm would increase efficiency and agility. The automated espresso machines that I know already have the automatic cup dispensers, so it is just clicking the button and grab the finished drink. Not waiting behind a glass while a slow arm moves it a meter.

This robotic arm that serves ice cream is much more relevant as it performs a few more tasks (although at the end still a gimmick):

> DVD-with-unskippable-ads

A pet peeve of mine.

Fortunately, according to my religious beliefs, there is an extra circle in hell which addresses the issue. As hell goes, it's fairly benign, no fire or sulphur or pointy things, more like an open-plan office. The time that you spend there is equivalent to the cumulative amount of time that you made other people waste during the span of your earthly existence.

There are the small-time offenders, spending a few hours in limbo due to the queues which we skipped or the prank calls which we made during adolescence.

Also, there are the big fish. Like people who forced broken processes and flawed IT-systems upon large corporations, and are now spending decades trying to file requests of a computer mouse to IT departments in Kuala Lumpur, or filling out self-evaluation questionnaires comprising 380 questions.

The DVD people are there too, each with a TV set. Watching, in seemingly endless loops, the same anti-piracy alerts and ads for Barbie films designed to lower your IQ. How long have they been here, and how long will they stay? No one knows. Hey, there's another anti-piracy warning. Happy times.
No, there's a ton of science on the benefits of meditation and mindfulness in treating stress, anxiety, depression (where it is as good or superior to any medication) as well as ADHD, drug addiction, etc. It's really a shame that American/Western culture denigrates meditation/mindfulness as "hippie dippie shit" because it is an astoundingly, life alteringly powerful life skill that absolutely everyone should learn.
:-D I am not in any fad as such, but for some reason I find writing functions better than writing classes, it is faster and more intuitive to write vue-js code than react code. Simple architecture and small API.
Intel pursues Moore's Law with plan to make first 7-nm chips this year
You ignore that emission standards in Europe were less strict when it came to diesel pollution, so that 5cent placebo plastic pipe makes the cars compliant there. Emissions standards in Europe focused on C02 emissions and not so much on the toxic byproducts of diesel combustion. That's why the scandal is not such a big issue for Volkswagen in Europe.

> Probably there's some analog effects going on there that are hard to reproduce mathematically?

Yes, exactly. The SID chip is a pretty complex analog synthesizer and it was made using less-than-perfect manufacturing processes, making some chips sound better than others. The SID has very nice analog filters that are not trivial to emulate with digital signal processing. Additionally, there were lots of ugly tricks that abused the SID chip, such as making sounds by emitting a "all ones" full-blast signal and then cranking the volume of the mixer circuit up and down to produce a fake pcm sound.

My best understanding is that a "normal" audio synthesizer (such as this one I believe) is doing computation at the same rate as audio output rate (typically 44 or 48 kHz). SID software emulators run internally at a much higher sample rate (hundreds of kHz) in order to emulate the analog circuitry.

This argument was over a decade ago and it's because it's a nightmare to work in tag soup.

I still have to deal with tables for layout on mail templates, bloody Outlook, and that extra 2 layers of tag nesting you have to do on every level quickly turns the code into an incomprehensible mess, even with careful indentation.

And if you're not very careful with indentation it turns into an utter nightmare.

Oh no, Uber is a "ride-sharing platform", so it doesn't have any "drivers", only "partners". If these "partners", being the perfectly free agents that they are, wish to participate in any form of action, they can do so on their own.

It's not doing nothing though, you're actually training your mind, but because you have to use your mind to train your mind you have to do so indirectly. It's very much like Mr. Miyagi training Daniel karate by getting him to paint fences and wax cars. The skills develop sub-consciously, but with practice, the skills still come.

Learning how to "empty your mind" or more accurately to simply be a thought-spectator while avoiding getting swept away by thoughts as they flow through your mind may seem like "doing nothing". But imagine how useful it is to have those skills when you're trying to concentrate on something else? If you can avoid being swept away by random thoughts when you have nothing else to hold your attention, think you'll be better at concentration when you do have something? And that's just the tiniest benefit.

"by 'some' after simply being elected"

Maybe I should have inserted more qualifiers, but I deliberately didn't say that. The friends I refer to didn't make the "he's Hitler" arg at or before election time. They lost, they knew it, and they thought about why they lost instead of doubling down on the mistake of picking the Obama global government equivalent on the right. Later on some made those implications by inflating relatively minor actions that fit a pattern they were looking for. I was happy he beat Obomney. Better to let the pendulum swing.
You're right. But I did enjoy movies like The Martian (2015), and Gravity (2013).

I don't see how the protesters hurt the situation. And I don't see how paying for newspapers helps it. I think that the protesters actually are a good thing. Protesters have caused revolutions before: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velvet_Revolution

And if everyone is out of work protesting, and the protesters, using the shear weight of their bodymass, were able to surround the airports and not let anyone in or out, or surround the whitehouse (I'm sure there are tunnels, but running away doesn't look good). Then a protest, even a peaceful one, can be a very effective weapon.
Which is the exact question any sane person would be asking. He says he wants to ban all Muslims entering the country. He can't ban Saudi Arabia, UAE, India, Indonesia, etc. He bans entry from a list of Muslim countries with unrest, but smaller profile, and subsequently less (almost none) terrorist export.

I'm going to use a phrase I hate, because it's almost always misused.
