It's the right of those "consenting adults" (the drivers) to form an Union if they so desire, who said anything about "authoritarian regulatory prohibitions"? The existence and functioning of a free-market doesn't necessarily mean that no trade unions are allowed. Saying that an employer worth billions of dollars and a potential employee worth many orders of magnitudes less than that have the same negotiating powers is ludicrous.
I meant that Chernow would regularly list facts and anecdotes about Rockefeller, then sum up with some negative opinions about him that seemed to come out of nowhere (being unjustified by the facts presented). I suspected that he'd come into the project with the popular evil caricature of Rockefeller, and couldn't shake it.

Contrast that with Ambose's "Nothing Like It In The World" about the first intercontinental railroad. In it he says he started with the usual extremely negative view of the railroad and the people involved with it, but after doing the research was forced to do a 180 and regarded it as a marvelous accomplishment and the people involved were amazing.
Anyone wondering what the "pro" argument possibly could be: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/444370/donald-trump-re....

If you actually want to leave your bubble, read both sides on every issue. If you want to remain in your bubble, read the screaming twitter comments and media only. Choice is yours.

Even the "pro" arguers have serious reservations in this case.
Rereading that, I may have been unclear; I was mainly agreeing with you in broad substance, while noting a different view on the significance of net neutrality.

Anecdotal evidence suggest that cold-turkey rehab doesn't work (https://www.quora.com/What-happens-to-heroin-addicts-when-th...). I'm sure there is more information and possibly even research papers to back this up. Perhaps someone more knowledgable in the field can provide this.

However, from my POV, drug use is not just about a substance, but a life-style and emotional dependence. You can't just remove drugs and expect things to improve for a person, you need to provide holistic support - and let's face it, drug usage is an incredibly complex personal choice.
When I was a kid and I read about the Prisoner's dilemma in the context of morality, I was always confused. Surely the moral thing is to confess if you're guilty. If you're guilty, and your accomplice is guilty, the right thing to do is confess to the police so that you can be rightfully punished.

As an adult I understand that this isn't the point of the story, and the police-and-prisoners aspect of the story is completely extraneous to the point trying to be made. Still, I can't help but think that the police-and-prisoners is a bad example of the broader point, since there's always a third set of interests (that of the police, and of society in general) which is callously (and immorally) tossed aside in the phrasing of the problem.
Turns out, that isn't Obama's only military campaign. Even though the blame for ISIL's existence falls on the shoulders of both him and Bush.

I would classify the belligerence into four categories: arms shipments, drone strikes, 'war', and other destabilization

It's ironic that the same administration spoke often about restricting rights to bear arms at home and regulating commercial drones.

You could probably consider his renewals of the Patriot Act/ NDAA and other blatantly illegal surveillance that falls outside the scope of even NDAA to be considered a form of botched foreign policy, which unfortunately is mostly domestic policy now.

By the way, the UN isn't some wise, omnipotent, objective organization. It mostly does what the US wants militarily, since the US provides most of the weapons to our allies (by allowing our contractors like Boeing to sell them last-generation weapons)
Putting your ad hominem aside, which part of "immigrants or nonimmigrants" are you disputing?
I have hired 70 people for my corporate overlords in multiple countries, and our national policies are pretty much the opposite of exploited doormat.

Of course they're responsible too. But mass-scale movements come from somewhere. They have systematic causes. The tech industry, and the ideology driving it, is manifestly amongst those causes.
How many threats of violence should someone accept against themselves before it's OK for them to punch the person making the threats?

Come on man, one of our ongoing political problems is the unfortunate tendency of police officers to shoot unarmed black men because the police officer felt a degree of anxiety about their personal safety, sometimes without even knowing why, as in this case: http://www.cnn.com/2016/07/21/opinions/shooting-man-lying-do...

That strikes me as a serious problem, compounded by the fact that police officers have difficult and complex jobs and nobody outside of a few theoretical anarchists wants to abandon the idea of policing crime.

I'm really not that worried about very minor acts of violence directed against people advocating nazi ideologies and the violent death or removal of other people by the millions. Such proposals are not the sort of thing I can agree to disagree over, because they constitute a threat against my friends, family members, and my self. Why should we be subjected to such threats with no means of responding to them? You can worry about a slippery slope of violence all you want, but I don't recall historical oppressive regimes making a special exception to their oppressive practices for the conscientious objectors who repudiated violence, do you?

The Mac Mini was special over a decade ago. It's now just commodity hardware in an aluminium unibody. There are a multitude of competing machines from Intel, Gigabyte, Asus, Zotac and others. There is absolutely no reason why Apple couldn't redesign the Mac Mini chassis to take an industry-standard NUC motherboard and offer a refresh every 12 months.

I won't buy Apple hardware any more because I don't want to be locked into their ecosystem. I don't want to be subject to the whims of a "tastemaker" who decides that I don't need PCIe or USB or a headphone jack. I don't trust Apple not to neglect a key platform for years.

Apple can afford to lose me, because iPhone sales are equivalent to the GDP of some countries. If at some point that golden goose starts looking unhealthy, they might regret pissing off their most loyal customers. They might suddenly realise that the creative professionals who were a cornerstone of their brand have abandoned them.

As of today, the Mac Pro has gone 1137 days without an update. Three years is an eternity for a music producer or a video editor to go without fresh hardware. The introduction of 4K video has only exacerbated the issue, as has the fiasco of FCPX.

A lot of people feel deeply betrayed by Apple. People who would happily give Apple $10,000 every couple of years for a fully loaded Mac Pro. People who have bought every Apple desktop since the Macintosh. People who are role models in their fields. People whose choices define the term "industry standard". Can Apple afford to alienate those people?
> FTP may look crufty today but it was an excellent protocol for its time, and offers capabilities you can't really get with any other current protocol.

This is some weird astroturfing of the FTP protocol's goodwill, but it was never particularly good. Even for its time it's a curiously conceited protocol that is remarkably complicated without doing very much that a similarly intelligent RMI-style interface couldn't have worked with.

And in practice, many FTP clients basically left the control channel concept behind and began to use it as if it were streamed RMI, opening up multiple connections for transfers to help users deal with even 1980's network environments.

It stands out as complicated for its time.
It's nice, but there is no statement about discrimination based on religion or nationality, or xenophobia in general. His objections seem to result from poor execution: If the ban were better executed so his drivers weren't as affected, would he have any objections?

Also:

I agreed in early December to join President Trump’s economic advisory group along with Elon Musk (CEO of Tesla), Mary Barra (Chairwoman/CEO of General Motors), Indra Nooyi (Chairwoman/CEO of Pepsi), Ginni Rometty (Chairwoman/CEO of IBM), Bob Iger (Chairman/CEO of Disney), Jack Welch (former Chairman of GE) and a dozen other business leaders.

Kalanick and all those people lend their credibility to Trump and his policies.
I know! Just so you know: not that I'm going to let up on the threads in a debate, but I do appreciate it when you call me on comments like this. You're a pretty good rhetorical guardrail.
Having tried one, I wouldn't trust a detector. That was money not well spent. I could generate lots of CO, and nothing would register. Maybe flawed units are super-rare, but I'm more than tempted to assume the industry is a fraud.

Why even bother? The device has one job, and it fails. All you get is a false sense of safety.
The point of the criminal justice approach isn't to save the lives of those who have already taken heroin, but to save the lives of those who might be considering taking heroin.

The harsher the punishment for heroin use, the more likely people are to get it into their heads not to fucking start taking heroin in the first place. On the other hand, if you make heroin addiction a free ticket to lots of health care and attention and "poor schnukkums" then you actually incentivise people who are already having a bad time to get on the heroin-addict train.

We were talking about the bombings in the post a few further up though. Let's stick with one topic for now.

E: And if you want to bring in further topics, at least do more than "here's a link to an list of attacks" without at least exploring why they were made and how they're a sign of belligerence (i.e. what better options existed).

E2: I've seen your response below and it is not worth adding another post to this. Sad to see someone drop any pretense of good faith and jump straight into rethorical warfare.
Move to Iraq yourself to keep them company, I guess.
I don't mean just take it for free, that's not going to work. But I don't see why US companies should not receive a modicum of preferential treatment. As things are right now, US spent hundreds of billions of dollars and thousands of American lives to remove Saddam, and then other countries (China, Russia, Turkey, etc) moved in and took advantage of the oil. That's idiotic.

Professor has been denied entry into the USA
Trump is citing a 1952 law (passed by Congress) that allows the president to suspend entry of aliens.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1182

(f) Suspension of entry or imposition of restrictions by President

Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate. Whenever the Attorney General finds that a commercial airline has failed to comply with regulations of the Attorney General relating to requirements of airlines for the detection of fraudulent documents used by passengers traveling to the United States (including the training of personnel in such detection), the Attorney General may suspend the entry of some or all aliens transported to the United States by such airline.
I hear people say their "so and so" traffic is encrypted all the time but that doesn't mean it's not trivial to know what you're doing with it. To me encrypting torrent traffic is like encrypting your SSH connection to a machine where everyone has root access. Your ISP might not know what you're doing on the machine, but another guy SSH'd into it can, and copyright enforcement companies will gladly login to find what you've been up to.
You're not the only person I've heard say that recently. The question is: can we build organizational momentum to keep this up for the long haul, and can we make it through however long a Trump/Bannon administration will be without grave harm to the country?

I'm hopeful, but we have to do more than appreciate unity and engagement: we have to build on it, and reinforce it.

So as not to repeat myself:

Ah, you're right. Most bit flips wouldn't be detected under ANY language. I guess machine-level redundancy isn't going away anytime soon, then
A lot of people consider health care to be a basic human right. Taxing people to provide health care is, from that perspective, not fundamentally different from taxing people to prosecute murder.

I get that you probably don't think health care is a human right, but "not even on the same spectrum" is not a simple statement of fact.

If your preferred outcome involves screwing these people and various others because you think overall it's a worthwhile tradeoff, then so be it, but I want to make sure we're clear on that consequence.
I guess that Twitter enables you to follow profiles through e-mail, while Facebook doesn't (walled garden). So, maybe you could live without Twitter.
Because TimeWarner and Cox are just as bad on customer service, and AT&T/Verizon are losing marketshare fast and may become obsolete. (DSL being behind the curve on bandwidth and fiber not available in 99% of areas)

At this point I'm starting to think the best shot we've got is if Tesla swoops in and saves the day with very-low-earth-orbit satellite internet service. Even that's not a guarantee because who knows how they'd operate as an ISP, maybe no better than what we've already got. Add onto that the fact that attempts at net neutrality are being rolled back and we may face the prospect of internet slow lanes, and the picture may be getting very bleak.
>We have to push trump out of office.

On what grounds? His immigration actions are well within the ambit of the law.

Just because you don't like him?
It's better for us to come together and resolve our differences.
How was this move not known about ahead of time? Trump said he was gonna do it, he got elected, he did it.
The level of filtering at my school led to pretty much everyone knowing how to find and use a proxy - even some of the teachers would occasionally say to use one if something they needed was blocked. Watching the level of filtering ramp up over the last year of my time there, and the efforts by some students to side-step it, was rather entertaining:

* HTTP proxy server filtering traffic -> CGIProxy scripts found online to avoid the fixed filter list

* Alternative HTTP proxy server with a more thorough/updated list -> Self-hosted CGIProxy (at home)

* Network admins. actively monitoring for new proxy sites -> Self-hosted CGIProxy on a wildcard domain (unsurprisingly, that didn't last long)

* Locally installing monitoring software that would monitor the contents of any IE windows -> Portable Firefox + asking for the HTTP proxy server details (which unbelievably were given without question despite there being no allowed use for it - you weren't supposed to connect your own devices to the network or use your own software)

* More aggressive monitoring software (Impereo) that would kill any window with "Firefox" or "proxy" in the title -> Firefox extension to hide the window title

* Updated version of that software that would reliably kill Firefox (plus other behaviours which I forget) -> Exploit a weak password (single dictionary word....; hash cached on clients) to get domain admin. rights, then create an anonymous account that had sufficient rights to kill off any monitoring software (probably was another domain admin. account - I wasn't aware of the specifics)

Definitely a learning experience (and some of the teachers definitely knew but turned a blind eye as they knew it was motivated by curiosity rather than malicious goals), though perhaps not the education the school intended! The new account hung around for a surprising long time - it wasn't until someone malicious changed all of the machines' local admin. passwords[1] that it was discovered and disabled. That actually ended up being a lesson in OPSEC to some degree - turns out Impereo was tracking USB memory device names, and most of the people involved had changed it to include their name, thus tying them to the domain admin. account creation.

(Also, a side note, but if you have a VNC server on every machine in the school, maybe don't have a three-character password that is entered where students can watch the keyboard...)

[1] No idea who/why. It just wasted people's time for no reason, something I know the main group of people doing this tried to avoid - the most malicious thing they did (other than compromising the account....) was change a single pixel in the desktop background image as a proof of concept.
China Deploys Nuclear ICBM System in Response to Trump's Provocative Remarks
I think provoking trump to escalate is exactly the right strategy. He's deeply unpopular and getting more unpopular by the day. Provoking him into making even more stupid and unpopular decisions is going to eventually force a crisis where the GOP congress is going to have to decide if they support a deeply unpopular lunatic who is possibly selling out the us to Russia.
Hugo was a monster. My sister evacuated from Charleston, where the state patrol had enabled contraflow traffic on I-26 (all lanes were outgoing). I was living south of Charlotte where the storm snapped pine trees like toothpicks, even after having traveled across land for 200 miles. Afterwards, the smell of pine sap was everywhere. And foolish me decided to go for a walk and brushed up against a downed power line -- luckily not energized, otherwise I'd have been killed.

In Charleston harbor, the Navy had a "hotel" barge that they used to house workers when they had offshore projects going on. It was found 1.5 miles inland with no way to get it back into the water. The Ben Sawyer swing bridge to Sullivan's Island was knocked off it's center bearing, and the only way onto the island for weeks was by boat... most of which had been smashed or had been floated somewhere inland where finding your boat was a challenge.

I was asking about Go. I understand BEAM's advantages in that area
The NUC in question, the NUC7i5BNK, is $620. That is without RAM or storage, so add another $50 for 8GB RAM, $80 for a 128GB M.2 SSD, and $100 for a Windows license. Total price is $850. This guy isn't cheaping out, he just wants more hardware for his money.

$700 at Apple gets you a much slower 3 generation old i5 with a 1TB hard drive. But, with MacOS.

It's one thing for Apple to charge a premium for better hardware. But that is NOT what they're doing. They're charging the same amount for ancient, inferior hardware.
as dumb as you might model Trump I don't think it's a good assumption to believe he'll get rid of working, papers in order, skilled immigrants, that doesn't mean you shouldn't look for an alternative but I wouldn't be too worried overall
