> nothing constrains you from hiring your own citizens at lower salaries

Except if those are not available, or do not want to work for this salary, e.g. because fringe benefits of the position (getting into US, visa being handled by somebody else, etc.) do not apply to them. Or just because they are used to much higher standards of living and demand salary that pays for well located apartment in SF, new Tesla car, etc. while some other people would be OK living with roommates and using public transportation.

> making your colleges more accessible and affordable

I'm not sure how a startup should go about making colleges more accessible and affordable. And why more accessible college necessarily would produce more highly qualified professionals exactly required by this startup and not just more people with college diploma, which means increasingly less as everybody has them now.

> The proposals merely say if you want to hire non Americans, pay more.

That is an import tariff. Tariffs are measures that harm consumers and destroy value, ask any economist.

> not looking out for the interests of the 99%

You are assuming 99% have the same interest. It is not true - it's more likely you ascribe a narrow interest to a lot of people without even trying to consider what their actual interests are.

> No one wants a de-stabilized nuclear power.

That's not even an argument. "I am right because you will lead to a nuclear war". Really?
"getting it clean without destroying the seasoning"

I've had excellent luck with a nylon bristle brush from the dishwashing aisle. Looks like it would work as an elephant handler's toothbrush (giant toothbrush for the elephant, not the handler).

Hot pan cleans a lot easier than cold pan. About a cup of water helps. Probably I'm slowly clogging my drains with grease by doing this, but it cleans up so well.
There's always going to be some unwanted effects of any kind of legislation. I agree that those are bad side effects... but you have to look at the general thrust of the legislation: curbing unwanted immigrants to America. There's no deterministic way to discover whether someone has terrorist sentiments... so a blanket statement is used. It's sloppy but accomplishes the goal, no?

Reactionary? Yes, I agree. Trump's most shining quality is that he acts quickly. Obama didn't accomplishing this much in his 8 years, as Trump has in 2 weeks... I would anticipate he has a very lean and agile approach to legislation and everything is subject to iteration.
Media matters is responsible for some of the fakest news the world has ever seen.
I don't know why you're getting downvoted, it's a good question. I am not a fan of trump, but I also want to see and verify examples of Fox distorting things.
Prior administrations have had some amazingly unkind things to say about the press. I don't think those comments are any reason to respond.
The fact you felt compelled enough to pose such a question shows a certain bias in the community that warrants efforts to empower and amplify minorities within the community.

I certainly agree that you don't need that for production machines.

However /usr/bin/gcc is just a frontend, and calls a slew of other binaries(such as cpp, collect2, cc1, normally found somewhere in /usr/libexec/gcc/). You also need binutils, and to be useful, likely headers for at least the standard C library.

The gcc + binutils package comes up at around 75MB on my machine.
I'm not arguing to remove all interpretation from the facts. That's impossible with our language. But what we are experiencing from the news every single day is a far cry from objective journalism. We are almost only getting the interpretation without many facts (or facts that are taken out of context or edited to fit a narrative).
I didn't say no one could see it, I said it's novel.
It's a good suggestion although at this point I don't see why it would be radically better for our case than ASP.NET Core. Our application has very few API endpoints and very low qps rate, so we don't need extensive routing or balancing. At the same time, since we have previous experience with ASP.NET the learning curve would be flat, while nancyfx is a new animal for us.
From what I've read, there are 3 popular demographics that are happy working on MTurk: 1) People living in areas where a non-strenuous, $5/hour is hard to come by. 2) People who are bored and find MTurk a somewhat interesting way to make some spare cash (stay-at-home parents, elderly, students) 3) People who are bored of sitting in front of a screen at work all day with nearly nothing to do (security guards, cashiers) and could use some extra cash
The military and certain branches of the government (e.g. CIA) are very interested in having modular, autonomous structures that can survive in the event of a decapitation attack, or if communications are severely disrupted through other means.

They're also interested in having centralized control so the various components of their organization are not running rampant and in conflict with the others.

It's a delicate balancing act. Look at the US as a whole: If states are too independent they might get into wars with the others, not unlike The Holy Roman Empire. If they're too much under the thumb of the Federal government they'll feel oppressed.

The TRS-80s had the lovely feature that all of the punctuation above the digits were consistent with ASCII layout. shift-1 was !, as per usual, but also shift-2 was ", and ' was shift-7. On the Model I they even went so far as to make shift-0 produce a space! (On the Model III however, they reused shift-0 to toggle between uppercase and lowercase mode -- sort of a reverse caps-lock key.)

We will be implementing new policies on backups and you can totally expect us doing load tests in the future. The whole team wants to make sure this will not happen again.
Another possibility is people expect developers to fix such fatal flaws and thus wait some time until the app may have been updated in the background.

Or it could be possible that a normal user doesn't know how to resolve the error, so they ignore the app until a later time that it works.
1) We'll add that in the next release. Thanks.
2) That's entirely likely. I realize the location part is sensitive, but we want to show you immediately the closest NGOs and sanctuary cities.

In the context of avar's question the active ventilation is a safety system.

A little bit of research indicates that candles are not all that different in oxygen consumption and CO2 production than a human and that a single candle (or person) wouldn't use up the oxygen quickly if the ventilation ceased.

As long as a failure of the ventilation system is obvious (so a window can be opened or whatever), it doesn't seem like it would be a major concern.
No, you're wrong. You can preempt intentions of a bill. A bill is a bill. If Trump wants to overreach he'll have to introduce another bill. This bill is specifically to curb nations that have been havens for radical Islamic people.

The US is one of the very few countries in the world where its possible to roll up a bankroll, quit your job, try to do a startup and fail, and subsequently still be able to get another good job.

And a huge part of that is how cheap and frictionless hiring and firing is (relative to other countries).
You can have that without anyone having to sign anything.
Oh, there's plenty of demand for skilled DBAs with deep expertise with handling large volumes of data, even at small-to-medium-sized companies. GitLab being one of those companies! In fact, demand for this sort of thing is likely to increase. If it interests you, dig in. You'll never stop learning.

The internet is both centralized, we need to agree on protocols, coordinate address spaces, issue domain names, and decentralized, where elements of it can survive independent of the others if they're temporarily disconnected.

The Bitcoin blockchain is an example of something that's a complete contradiction: It's a highly distributed highly centralized system. There's only one Bitcoin block chain, and everything must be recorded there for it to be valid. If, for example, Iran is cut off from the greater internet then that means you can't use Bitcoin in Iran.

BitTorrent is a much better example: There's no central authority, it's truly distributed, and highly fault tolerant. If Iran was cut off for some reason, all the Iran-hosted seeds of any content would still work.

You mean the ones contained in a dossier which accurately predicted several Trump related events that were not publicly known to be in planning at the time it was written, but were verifiable to have occurred as predicted before it was published?

Seems to me that it was plenty newsworthy.

BTW, it also reported that part of the carrot side of the carrot-and-stick blackmail and bribery by Russia was that Trump was promised a bribe of a share of Rosneft coincidentally the same size that was just sold off, on credit, to buyers concealed by various cutouts.

Meh. Just learn, learn, learn. If it isn't completely applicable to your life that's okay. Sometimes there are pearls of wisdom in best practices in field completely unrelated to your own. Learning something new is always a good thing.
This is cool - I can actually see a small cottage industry forming around people who specialize in exactly this kind of animation.
> have something resembling useful discourse.

How do you debate a person that denies objective reality, and embraces their very own alternative reality?

I don't think you can. For the same reason you can't negotiate with terrorists. They aren't playing by the same rule book. You hold out a hand to shake, they stab you in the face with a knife.
I understand the desire to eliminate all health hazards, but that is not economically feasible. Does it not seem reasonable to state that if you cannot find any death or illnes in a chemical, when used for a specific purpose, that is it not reasonable to simply eliminate the chemical?

This isn't really abotu advancing chemistry or biology, either. We have a pretty good understanding that these contaminants need to be consumed repeatedly, at high exposure levels, to have a detectable effect. Epidemiology would be more likely to create a compelling for or against case than additional medical research.

I mean, I'd have an easier time if you could show at least a compelling argument that harm has been done.
Will this be available for swift?
I agree. If NZ let him buy his way to citizenship, then what's the problem? He didn't break any laws, he followed the rules, and he got his citizenship legally. What's the story here?
However, the public should have the ability to request through Freedom of Information channels access to emails or documents about particular topics. Not necessarily in real time or in short time frames, but being about to oversee the political sphere is important too.
It's a better than 50% chance - if the sample size is odd, you always get a real observation; if the sample size is even, you may still get a real observation (if the two median observations are equal).
> That classic "well, nobody else has had a problem, so you must be the problem" response.

To anyone reading this that gets this response in a negotiation, this is the go to line for any experienced negotiator when you come to them with questions about a contract. Always. Its like negotiation 101. Do not take the response at face value. Its a canned line that doesn't mean anything on its own.

The typical response is to say that it makes a good impression on the organization that they have yet to have any contract disputes and then get back to asking about your specific issues.

Although, the harsh reality is that for them to change this contract means they need to bring a lawyer into the situation and that costs them money. So realistically you need to be in a situation where you have some kind of leverage in the situation. That is pretty rare when you are alone on the labor side as opposed to the capital side. Sometimes you have to decide between taking a risk of getting screwed or walking away. Unfortunate reality of our economic system as it currently stands. As unions learned a long time ago, labor protections via government regulation is typically more effective than private negotiation. Without that, most people just have to learn to accept they you are going to get taken advantage of and work around it.
See, when you start saying CNN (and every other major outlet, by extension) is basically Pravda, devoted to carrying the water for the Democratic Party at the expense of the GOP, I kind of assume you're totally blinded by partisanship and incapable of rational discussion of the subject.

The E.O. is not a bill, and no new bill would be required to implement the parts of it that I related. (Well, it might be legally required just as new legislation might be legally required to do what is called for in the 90-day ban, which is being challenged as a violation of existing law; but that's an after-the-fact constraint that doesn't prevent overreach, it just potentially provides a basis for responding to it, provided the courts are doing their job more faithfully than the President is doing his.)
Insightful comment. Why don't you start with telling us why you don't care?
Not really tech-related, but a few years ago, I took an Uber to another city for a concert, and accidentally used my company's credit card to pay for the trip.

What made it worse was I told my boss I was sick that day, and couldn't get out of bed to go to work.
I'm not sure if it's really company size, though there's probably a correlation. My company is only marginally bigger than GitLab in terms of employees (just recently 200+), and we have several dozen databases bigger than this.

This is a perspective issue IMHO.

See: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/monkey-cage/wp/2017/02/0...

Because of strong media polarization in the cable television news sector, coverage -- while it will show up on both sides of the fence -- will be prioritized to one topic or another entirely depending on politics. So MSNBC spent a huge amount more time exploring the Access Hollywood tapes / Russian hacking angle regarding Trump, while Fox News will cover Clinton's email scandal more.

This is not exactly surprising. I wouldn't call this "corruption". Having an opinion / bias is not corruption.

I will say that from a personal perspective, I find all of American cable news fairly awful, and one of the reasons is this "gotcha" fatigue when it comes to their outrage cycles. At some point, it's hard to figure out what is really a genuine fault and what is just some tabloid fluff designed to get the viewer demographic angry. This especially applies to the "gotchas" that devolve into outright wild conspiracy, such as the Podesta emails you reference (devolved into Pizzagate and who knows what else).

Although not my primary news source, my impression is that Reuters is much more sober than the current state of cable news.

> How is that any different than people in the Bible Belt who believe the earth was made in 7 days ?

I see no difference there but I'm not sure that I get the point.

> I really didn't appreciate how they pushed the "Russia HACKED the election" narrative.

I never got the impression that those news orgs were saying that actual voting counts were being hacked. But the emails were hacked and leaked.

They jumped the gun on blaming Russia, but that wasn't fake news (provided you believe prominent members of US intelligence).

Even Trump seemed to think it was plausible... At least plausible enough to publicly ask Russia to hack Hilary's emails [1].

"Democrats close to Bill Clinton said Thursday that one mistake Clinton’s top aides made was not listening to the former president more when he urged the campaign to spend more time focusing on disaffected white, working class voters.

Many in Clinton’s campaign viewed these voters as Trump’s base, people so committed to the Republican nominee that no amount of visits or messaging could sway them. Clinton made no visits to Wisconsin as the Democratic nominee, and only pushed a late charge in Michigan once internal polling showed the race tightening.

Bill Clinton, advisers said, pushed the campaign early on to focus on these voters, many of whom helped elected him twice to the White House. The former president, a Clinton aide said, would regularly call Robby Mook to talk about strategy and offer advice.

But aides said the Clinton campaign’s top strategists largely ignored the former president, instead focusing on consolidating the base of voters that helped elect President Barack Obama to the White House. In the closing days of the campaign, Clinton targeted young people, Hispanics and African-Americans with laser like focus, casting Trump as a racist who only sought the presidency to benefit himself."
