How many degrees of separation from Trump do you think people should go?

"It goes without saying that if the people of Group X are staring at you demandingly, waiting for you to hate the right enemies with the right intensity, and ready to castigate you if you fail to castigate loudly enough, you may be hanging around the wrong group." - http://lesswrong.com/lw/42/tolerate_tolerance/
I'm running spotify 1.0.47 on linux and there's no idle cpu usage from spotify. If I play a song it's using ~ 10% cpu.
Argh. I have this pretty bad. Currently sitting on 254 kindle books and we hard paper books.

I have thought a lot about what I have spent and keep spending on books, and my conclusion/justification is:

1. I had to teach myself programming now running a company which has required quit a lot of knowledge which is spread among technical/business/people. The best way for me to gain deep knowledge is to read a book on whatever I need since experts or mentors are hard to come by in my part of town. Books are my education.

2. I really don't have a lot of friends, rarely go out and only watch a few shows so books are my gateway and I can justify the expense that way too.

3. I have very varied interests so I just completed re-reading All Quite on the Western Front, now on Deng Xiaoping of China with some Terry Pratchett to spice things up - I can comfortably justify the cost on just that on the moment engagement on whatever mood am in.

4.At about $11 per book average, 254 books bought in past 3 years. It works out to 2794 or about $80 on books per month...I routinely spend a lot more on worse/forgettable stuff. My books are top up there in terms of best and most tangible things I have done with funds. Put another way, would I have done something better with that $2700? Nothing that I haven't still managed to do with books making me all the better for it.

Finally, I am happy with the actual number of books because it ensures I can always find something that speaks to me in whatever mood and some general frameworks for most business/work situations I come up.

Now if some book could tell me why am here justifying my book habit ;)
If you're referring to the VirtualBox dependency, that has been gone for a while now. Docker for Mac is noticeably lighter weight and faster (though still a VM, yes).

5MB + REST: oh heck yes. And far slower to start up (though fast enough for most purposes - it's nothing like what it was with VirtualBox). For problematic things like mysql though, I'm thrilled to pay that cost rather than fight with the config / linking / etc song and dance every single time.

I think it's shameful to have an open Trump supporter as part of the upper echelons of YCombinator (Thiel).

Everyone is entitled to their opinions. But when you openly support a candidate who likes to "grab [women] by the pussy", and now is making headway into some sort of Muslim ban which was a campaign headline, how will female and muslim applicants feel if they know part of their process might be controlled by someone who finds this acceptable? Might it discourage them?
Speaking as a kid who does know how to use computers, this phenomenon infuriates me.

There is a special place in hell for people who claim to be "1337 h4x0rs", but have less skills than the average script kiddie. Especially if they spew BS to make themselves look good to their peers.
Criticize them all you want, but keep in mind your goal. Do you care about changing their minds, political/social polarization in the US, etc? If so, criticizing them would be a very stupid thing to do. Especially considering the GOP is the strongest its been from a local to national level since the 1920s.
Damn, I need to invest in some CO sensor. Very sad to read.
You can only afford to ignore politics for as long as it ignores you. This no longer ignores us, because it's affecting our friends, our companies, the pool of tech workers that make up the intelligence that builds Silicon Valley.

This is entirely comparable to when Jewish scientists were first getting barred from getting positions in German universities. We are now seeing the much-publicised case of an Oscar-nominated director being unable to attend to receive his prize. There are many other, less publicised cases of colleagues getting barred from working alongside us.

We can no longer ignore these politics.

I'm not sure of any nominal principle that says we have to do business with, work for or to invite to things people who behave abhorrently.

That Thiel can get a table at a restaurant in SV proves all the talk about changing the world tech leaders do is so much nonsense.
If you oppose Trump and the right's regressive goals, then to condense this list down: take over state legislatures and governors, by running, supporting, or voting for progressive people. The Republicans learned years ago that state legislatures are the key to regressive state policies, and to helping keep a regressive majority in Congress.
Yeah it's interesting how it can go the other way if you're in a solidly conservative district too (I used to live in austin ehich thanks to some ridiculous gerrymandering has very conservative congressional representation). Thanks for calling even if you aren't convinced they'all listen though, I think it's important to try and change minds and that's the place to start.
For an emergency thing like this, direct pressure from affected tech companies is going to be the most effective thing. Letters to Congressmen from tech CEOs and the like.

For people who are not tech CEOs, financially supporting legal challenges is probably the highest value near-term approach, though the other stuff is important long term.
I know it's an extremely antisocial position but I can't help but feel like most of Trump's immigration policies and outrageous tweets are just bait to keep our attention away from big money legislation that the 1% wants to get through.

For example, the Keystone XL and Dakota access pipelines were heavily debated, protested, and ultimately rejected under Obama but Trump just signed orders to have them built and Sam's post doesn't even mention it. Seeing Sam write about the accusations of voter fraud instead brings this quote to mind:

> The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum....

> What kind of social fabric do these countries have?

In Germany it is quite common for people to carpool between cities with strangers. We even have websites for pairing drivers with passengers (mitfahrgelegenheit). These have existed since long before Uber.

Say you're driving between SFO and LAX to catch a flight. You put your place/time of departure on the website, and other people can request to ride with you.

Usually there is a small cost to the passengers to split the cost of fuel.

Passengers can then rate the driver/car on things like punctuality, comfort, personality, etc.
It actually doesn't include any of the countries the 9/11 terrorists came from.
This order directly affects me.

But frankly I've lost hope in any political process. I know this is a grim message, but perhaps standing idle is exactly what needs to be done.

I fear people now vote out of frasutration, and leave it to someone else to make the right choice and cancel out their vote. Perhaps it's time for everyone to realise the full force of their voting power, and perhaps it's time to trust the powers to be. That breaking social contracts will be detrimental to The society in the long run and hope that voters will realise this.

My pessimistic two cents.
1. Obama is no longer president, this is not a particularly relevant point.

2. We did hear about it, Ted Cruz could not stop talking about it.

3. Refugees are referred to the US by the UNHCR. If their referrals don't reflect the demographics of Syria, that's not something we can directly or easily change.

4. Christians are 10% of Syria, but it's not clear that they would be 10% of refugees. I couldn't immediately find any statistics on that.
Makers are often exposed to many toxic compounds, from toxins in salvaged electronics to PCB etching compounds to lead solder and solder fumes. Unfortunately, they rarely have much if any safety training or awareness of the dangers they are exposing themselves to.
> embedded/console/driver developers working on specific hardware need to care about

In other words, things that great engineers need to care about :)

I'm not an embedded developer, but to reiterate, I'm just advocating for a focus on performance if you aspire to be a great engineer. This is different than being a great businessperson, or a great software developer kit / library designer.
Exactly. Been on the losing side of this argument several times. Think a few if the products are unmaintainable piles now. Is mostly a lazy argument.
First, it's not a "ban". It's a temporary suspension until new vetting procedures are put in place.

Second, it's not "Muslim". Muslims from all other countries (some of them pretty large, e.g. Indonesia and Pakistan), will experience no change in their ability to enter the US.

Other than Iran (which imo shouldn't be on the list) we're bombing and droning all of those countries at the moment. It's insane to accept military age males from there for entry into the country, particularly if information about them is very sparse (which in war torn countries it typically is).

But there's another aspect of this that baffles me. Somehow Sam has no issues with democrats totally destabilizing the Middle East, and funding/arming ISIS to depose Assad. Yet the moment Trump attempts to mitigate the negative side effects of that to this country, "it's time to take a stand". The time to take a stand was back when Obama and Clinton armed extremists in Iraq and Syria -- years before Trump.
The article is lite on specifics, but my Canadian chip card will normally reject stripe transactions in Canada (or it did the last time I saw a stripe machine, several years ago), but happily perform them when I cross into the US.

So one possibility is that they're stealing magstripe data off the chips for cloning and use in the US banking system.
How do you boycott 60 million random people? The statement was about voters, not companies or other organizations.
Here's what the current vice president said about banning Muslim immigrants last year.

https://twitter.com/paulwaugh/status/825371208355020801

"Calls to ban Muslims from entering the US are offensive and unconstitutional".

Were people listening to that and hoping he'd reign in Trump? Was he lying when he said that?

Trump just spews a bunch of stuff, some of it contradicts things he said earlier.
And yet HC killed https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13506412 earlier today.
I think those are the people he wants to ultimately affect, but it's important to remember that attracting and retaining the best talent is one of the main things on the mind of the CEOs of top tech companies. Hearing from employees of prospective employees about the importance of this absolutely will impact their thinking.
The hell I won't. Southerners didn't acknowledge that racism was wrong and slavery was evil until it was beaten into their hard skulls to the point where it was completely socially unacceptable to state a preference for either. I know this because I'm FROM there.

Even if your Representatives (whose focus is entirely on your local community) are already on board, you still have two Senators who have to get elected by the entire state, not just the Bay Area. There are parts of California that are very, very conservative. Call them and remind them that there are parts that aren't too.
You want to give progressive incumbents the confidence that they are advocating for what their voters want. Positive and negative feedback are equally important. If you like what they're doing, tell them.
He clearly stated he would make strong policies regarding immigration. The American people voted for him knowing this and he's following through on it.

I'd say “Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into the United States” is a fitting name given everything he has said up to this point.

Whether or not you agree, this looks like the democratic process to me. Taking action against his policies after election is obviously fine, but if you cared so deeply then why didn't you do this rallying call before he got elected? He is doing exactly what he said he would do and what the people voted him in for.

* PS: I'm not endorsing Donald Trump's decisions at all.
> You're never going to get anywhere without recognizing the source of the problem.

So... Demonize the voters that naively thought Trump would help them more than Hillary? What comes next after they're alienated?

Pretty sure you're being facetious, but yes, each team of SDEs is responsible for their own operations. Reliability Engineer positions do exist, but there doesn't seem to be a company-wide standard job title.

There is a group (Operational Excellence) that focuses on things you'd expect SREs to focus on, but I think they focus more on building the tools than actual operational support.

HTTP does support uploading. But even that aside, there are plenty of better protocols for uploading than FTP. Eg SFTP, p2p, heck even cloud storage services if you want something easy for the layman.
Why do people call this a "Muslim ban", when most Muslims are unaffected by it? There are 200M Muslims in Indonesia who are unaffected, 180M Pakistani Muslims, 172M Indian Muslims, 150M Bangladeshi Muslims, 75M Nigerian Muslims, 75M Turkish Muslims, 73M Egyptian Muslims...all of these people are unaffected by this "Muslim ban"
Interesting how calling politicians is a "thing" in the US. It seems very inefficient, archaic and unscalable. If I was a politician, I would hate those random (often organized) calls, such a waste of time. The politicians are usually not learning any new information, they know about most issues, including the approximate percentage of the people who are affected.
While I appreciate the sentiment for a call to action, it seems pretty clear that the people who are pushing this agenda don't care about what other people think. The people who are pushing this agenda lost the popular vote but that has not stopped them. Many of these reps supporting these actions are in districts that are gerrymandered to insulate themselves from anyone that disagrees with them on this kind of action.
I haven't been ignoring it at all. I read the news sections of the NYT almost in its entirety every day. Same with USAT and WashPost.

There's a big difference between ignoring it and wishing that wishing that I wasn't immersed in it.
This is true, but they still have to jump through the election hoop.
Omega is one company I would trust for this myself; they sell for industrial applications, not homes, and have a good reputation when it comes to sensors. A CO monitor will set you back $235.

>I shut my eyes and ears once protesting becomes violent

A lot of the freedoms you take for granted were achieved by "violent protests", including the "Boston Tea Party".
We need to take a stand, but I encourage everyone to look at what is happening with depth. The immigration actions are terrible, misguided and anti-Anerican BUT much like abortion or taxation this is the most distracting and highlighted issue in the media.

Surely, we should stand against such a law, and I will. But let us not do so at the expense of more dangerous and less publicized attempts to curtail freedom. This will be fought on many fronts and is much bigger than immigration. We stand to have surveillance bolstered, restriction in our movements, loss of input in our governments behavior & worse. We are entering into a world war-- which is already being fought publicly; and we need to work as a country & the global community for diplomacy and freedom.
Just the one will suffice for Thiel.

This is the guy, after all, who spent his time making "you can't take him literally" arguments about the same policies Trump is pushing forward in his very first week.
Thiel is not some distant nodding acquaintance of Trump's. He is a close advisor and Trump's lead point of contact with the tech community.

So how many degrees of separation? Let's start with "more than one, please" and go from there.
Misleading statistic. Compare the distribution of people who asked to immigrate, not the population of the whole country.
Show HN: Tool for pinpointing circular imports in Python
Last year I got a fanless box from Atlast to use as a headless Linux server running Plex Media Server. Really excellent little box.

Quad-core i5, 120GB SSD, 8GB RAM, Ubuntu preinstalled. $600 plus $50 shipping to the US (they're in the UK): http://www.atlastsolutions.com/fanless-mini-itx

They Atlast guys are also very friendly, and they know Linux.
And that's why I'm sad. It's so bad that there can't be an oasis.

Again, not a commentary on the author or HN, but a commentary on society as it stands right now.
If this was indeed a LASER cutter then you would definitely be able to smell all the other gases emitted with the CO. I've got a small LASER cutter and even with the hose going outside the smell very strong.

The issue with the Hitler argument is that he too lost an election. Start from there.
TFA says that they just deduped attachments with their homegrown system.

As I think about it more, it would make a lot of sense for a Warez group to use big storage email services with lots of accounts and some bot where you request a file and it mails you all of the compressed/encrypted chunks for you to put together. I've never seen anything like that in the wild, but it seems like it might work.
You could actually do things to punish them, like boycott their states. Being punitive towards these criminals is perfectly valid.

Liberals have the wealth in the country that the Trump voters want. You don't have to give it to them.

How in 2017 is "calling a politician" the best way to stop an executive action?

Is the goal to DDOS these offices with phone calls in hopes these politicians will rile together and pass a law?
The 1930s were full of violent protest - running battles on the streets between gangs of thugs on both sides (red vs Brown shirts). It helped Hitler portray himself as the law and order candidate.

Peaceful but overwhelming mass civil disobedience and protest is better. The time for that is now.
Note, this is far broader than the refugee ban initially discussed. The ban truly is a Muslim ban. See quote from Reuters -- it bans permanent residents (i.e. greencard holders.) Note that permanent residents have to pay taxes even if living overseas!

"It will bar green card holders," Gillian Christensen, acting Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman, said in an email.

Child neglect has nothing to do with your body. You are free to give up your child for adoption if you don't want to take care of them. Abusing a child and being punished for it isn't remotely similar to anything being discussed here. You're yet again deflecting from the point and attempting to setup a strawman.
Would you rather have a job and a racist in power, or no job and a person isn't racist in power?

I believe you are operating on a higher level of the Maslow hierarchy of needs than many people if your primary concern is about equality, and not about food, shelter, and a job.
Only small companies can take a public stance and they won't for numerous reasons. No large company will ever take a political stance like this. There's too much at stake. I've been saying this for a long time. US is a capitalist country, it does not matter that it's been built by immigrants.
> I find it amazing that we're supposed to believe that the majority of Trump voters don't support at least one of these.

I'm taking a guess at this one, but many people believed this was just the usual pre-election bla bla and that he wouldn't follow through with such an unreasonable idea, given the obvious financial (wall) and legal (Muslim ban) challenges. They only wanted someone who promised to listen to them again after decades of globalization left them behind, and got a monster as result.

What I'm really afraid of: given the horrendous stuff Trump has done in a week, what will he have done in the next 1450 days?
Slimming sheds pounds, this accumulates them.
It's crazy that you can't see how hypocritical you are: you ate literally saying that restaurants shouls ban thiel because he supports a person who bans people.

I'm already seeing this in Berlin. I know multiple engineers and academics who have abandoned career moves to the US because they "don't want to live in such a toxic environment."
I have a fascination with CO poisoning for some reason or at least the chemistry behind it. CO has more than 200 times the affinity for hemoglobin than oxygen does.

You can't just go outside to get fresh air since the CO just won't let go.

I believe the normal way it works is oxygen and carbon dioxide use different sections of hemoglobin molecule so they never interfere with the way each are transported. But CO hogs it all oxygen has no chance of affixing to hemoglobin since there is nowhere to stick.
I _have_ checked out the web interface a bit and it seemed really nice. I think the main problem for me is the time investment required to input all the parts to give it a real go.

Will be in touch soon about the business side.
