Agreed. Given their history, and the involvement of officials of Saudi Gov in 9/11, they should also be included. Obvious reason I can think for not doing it are

- business ties : weak reason
- given that, as little as we'd like the country, it's a stable one, and this could destabilize it, and the entire region, even more : weak reason too
- US currently engaged in a war with Yemen with Saudi allies : strong reason. You need to undo this first

> shows how this is nothing but smoke and mirrors

False. It's incomplete. But poorly vetted immigration has been a gold mine for terrorism, and general destabilization. Look at Europe.
If this is a high priority for you, have you personally dissociated yourself from people who hold views similar to Thiel's? Friends? Family? Coworkers? Employees? Employers? Business partners? Customers?

Sam Altman and Paul Graham have spoken out. Sam has also posted specifically about Thiel (http://blog.samaltman.com/the-2016-election). They've donated to campaigns. They've likely done other things as well. If this one issue is this important to you, indeed, actions do speak louder than words, and I'd expect you to take similar actions in your own lives.
Protesting at an airport seems like the worst dick move you could possibly pull off, and guaranteed to make enemies of just about everyone you see.

Why do people think that bothering random people is a good way to convert them to your cause?
Yes, PCBshopper.com is really nice and I forgot about it!

There is a PR open for SnapEDA but I am a bit reluctant as I don't have enough experience with using it. If you jump in on that I might change my mind: https://github.com/monostable/awesome-electronics/pull/1
This is interesting. I would totally believe that with the information you can intercept passing between the chip and the reader, you could in some cases construct magnetic stripe data that would be recognized as valid.

It kinda seems like the magnetic stripe system should be completely separate from the chip system. Make it so that the card ID (or whatever) reported by the chip can never be used for swipe transactions, and vice-versa. Combining them just seems to cross-product-ify the attack surface, which is dumb.
Ask HN: Would you pay $20/mo to trade equity options?
Jellifin is a flat rate mobile options trading platform. We are conducting a market research to see if users would pay $20/mo to execute 10 trades or 50 options contract per month. Currently this is a significant discount compared to paying $10+$0.75 per contract to trade options. Let us know what you think. Thanks for your input. www.jellifin.com
I'm sorry but they've pushed themselves away by their own actions. At some point a stand has to be taken and a demand for accountability has to be made.

At this point I'm not willing to wait to see how far this goes before they come to their senses.
The inconsistent treatment of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia is bipartisan and predates Trump's presidency by a long time. Remember how a number of the 9/11 hijackers came from Saudi Arabia and their role was basically ignored? How the Saudis donated large sums to the Clinton Foundation? How we've provided large sums of military aid to Pakistan since 2001?
They're also inventing new games, like truck bowling...
Why is it mindless to think that people that support an ignorant demagogue to be President are bad people?

Just by appeal to pedantry, I think it is a very logical conclusion. You may not like it, but I don't think "mindless" is the right word.
Well, we definitely should not pander to them.

I actually think most people (Trump supporters, you, me, everyone) vote mostly based on identity (liberal/conservative, religion, race, open-minded, well-mannered, etc). I think Trump supporters mostly voted for the party that they most identified with, the guy they thought was on their side. And I think you did the same. (I see myself as unaligned and open-minded, thus I voted for someone else as I found both sides to be extreme and closed-minded.)

But, maybe I'm wrong. Maybe most Trump supporters are horrible people. But they are still people. Like you and me, they have a dark and a noble side. And, just like you and me, they are not going to listen to the reasons of someone who insults them.

So what do we gain from demonizing them? We only lose influence.
Maybe it's a lot simpler:

Shoot off a whole barrage of policies that are all controversial, and watch the opposition implode as they are unused to debating more than one large matter at a time.
I realize this may seem alarmist, but I have to say it, nonetheless. Judging by the pace and effectiveness of policies being implemented, it seems possible that voting might not matter a few months from now. Whatever your action, it must be one of immediate consequences, however small. Call, write, donate, protest, support and spread statements such as sama's today.
It is possibly to filter gases of similar molecular weight.

> I have someone who just sounds like they'll add my name to a tally or something and says "I'll pass it along" and it's hard to know if they will or if that will help.

That is exactly what you are going for. They keep a tally on a lot of issues. Unless you are a big employer or influential player in your district, you are not going to get to speak to the Rep or even his/her senior staff.

Unions and some Orgs know that you have thousands of people call your Rep and voice an opinion. Call, fax, or send a letter. Show up to the district office and be nice, deliver your opinion, and hand them a letter.
It's interesting to me how few people consider this an option. I got a 6i5 and other than wifi, macOS runs great on it.
> Perhaps I wasn't clear enough with "position of power". I wasn't talking about "James Wilson, truck driver in Madison" or "Allison Smith, bartender in Columbus".

I suppose I don't really see much of a rhetorical difference. Proposing that we exile people who disagree with you is pretty gross to me. It doesn't matter you constrained yourself to only punishing the 'powerful'.

> Thiel can grab a friendly dinner with the greatest threat to humanity on Monday

This just sounds hyperbolic. Care to back this ridiculous statement?

People are multifaceted. As much as you'd like to reduce people down to single words or ideas, they're not that simple.
We've been killing Muslim families in these countries for years, even under Obama (a Nobel Peace Prize winner.)

CMU being there doesn't hurt, either
> But CO hogs it all oxygen has no chance of affixing to hemoglobin since there is nowhere to stick.

CO's action is not purely competitive. Its binding at one binding site influences the three other sites to bind oxygen so strongly that oxygen won't dissociate from the complex where it is needed; In tissues, starving them of oxygen.
I'm not saying it has not errupted (it has) I'm saying violence and the glorification if it (as in people sharing the punch a Nazi video) is a dead end and will definitely strengthen trump support.

The way to defeat him is to resist, massively, peacefully and persuasively - to persuade the nation that he is wrong, irrational and damaging everyone with insane policies like retroactive withdrawal of green card status.
What Trumpf has done here is so far beyond the pale I think you have to look toward tinpot dictatorships to find a comparison. This is not a disagreement about tax policy, trade, healthcare, etc. Rather, this is an illegitimate, unqualified con-man who due to our anachronistic electoral system wound up as president despite the majority of Americans opposing him.

It's now clear that Trump wasn't kidding and actually intends to follow through on his promises to ethnically cleanse America of Muslims, latinos and various other scapegoats.

Therefore, the solution is extremely simple. Trump cannot continue to be President and we need every institution of our society -- our courts, congress, businesses, media, schools, etc -- to put aside petty partisan differences and unite on this point.

Now that we have full knowledge that Trump is every bit the white-supremacist fascist he campaigned as, it cannot remain socially acceptable to continue to support him.

The people who have supported him are complicit in ethnic cleansing and their beliefs are absolutely incompatible with the our core American ideals of multiculturalism, freedom-of-religion, equality and diversity.

Trump needs to be removed from power and in our personal, familial and professional lives we need to make it our mission to stamp out the hatred and intolerance which fuelled the rise of this white-supremascist cancer which we if turns out we never fully excised.
The limit law is something congress enacted. The Constitution has a much higher limit based on population. Granted I don't think the house could function with over 10K members but then again it would make gerrymandering impossible.
> Conservatives aren't going to call their reps and they don't have the propensity to engage in the same activism as progressives

The last 8 years were driven by the Tea Party doing exactly this. They show up to vote more and practice local politics like everyone should be doing.
Again: Trump campaigned very specifically on a ban on Muslims. The religious minority directive is obviously an attempt to scope the restriction to adherents of Islam. It is worded in the way it is, again obviously, to make it more likely to withstand the pending legal challenges.

This isn't a tortured or biased interpretation of the directive. It is precisely the description Trump used over and over and over again on the campaign trail.
I think this record of academic performance speaks more about the individual rather than the "usual suspect" correlations. For instance, she clearly is the type of student that meets a challenge head on (by coming back from a poor midterm) - which would negate the correlation between time spent studying and GPA (more time spent to just recover a grade). She also did not say whether worst test scores are dropped and how that was treated. She has good habits and sleeps as much as she should, but what about exercise? There's a lot of research that supports the claim that cardio activity improves brain function. It's too bad she didn't pay more attention to this. Still, a very determined 4 year analysis.
Yes, there's problems in Chicago. But the violence is heavily concentrated in the South and West side. I live in a nicer part of Chicago and I've never felt like I was in any danger where I live. Even walking home by myself at 2 AM.

The difference is, with the amount of knowledge you need to learn to be a really good computer maintainer, you can be a well-paid devops maintaining a few dozen servers. If you have any aptitude for working with computers, it's likely you'll be at that level at around the time you hit 20 and just doing user maintenance will be severely below your skill and pay level. Plus, a lot of these people are asking for help for the equivalent of filling up their tank when it runs out of gas. Imagine being a car mechanic who can fully assemble an engine from parts and knows the purpose of every single part; but you're being paid minimum wage to run around town filling people's cars with gas. I get the sentiment, but there are enough specific factors at play that make the situation work out differently.

Disagreeing is entirely your prerogative. But that doesn't change the fact that most people who take racism seriously are going to think of you as a bad person.

And why shouldn't we? The worst you could do is tear families apart, watch people die, and actively participate in killing people, and you're already doing that. So yes, you're a bad person.
Nice. It's annoying that they provide only 10x sped up video. Watching this slowed down is helpful.

Notes:

* There are frequent steering twitches to the left. This may be associated with passing parked cars. There are similar twitches to the right when in the left lane of a one-way street.

* Crosswalk behavior when turning needs some work. The vehicle enters the intersection, then stops in the intersection before the crosswalk with people in it. This is a hard problem, because the system needs to recognize people waiting to cross but not yet in the roadway. When the light turns green, both the pedestrians going straight and the turning vehicle can enter the intersection, the pedestrians having right of way. The pedestrians now block the vehicle, and the vehicle blocks the bike lane.

* Left turns into multi-lane streets are too wide and into the wrong lane.

* On two occasions, the vehicle is stuck behind a doubly-parked vehicle engaged in loading. The options are to wait or to cross a double yellow line. There's a delay of several seconds, then forward movement. Suspect manual intervention.
Quite. Historically, countries which build walls don't do so to keep people out, but to keep them in.

Shouldn't we have been taking a stand against Obama who destabilized the region, was dropping bombs there and arming the "rebels" who had a revolving door relationship with ISIS and other such groups there.

Refugees didn't come from a vacuum and it wasn't some natural disaster. They started streaming in because the West including US has been meddling and destabilizing that part of the world.

Unfortunately it seems profiling to prevent terrorism has worked ok for Israel recently. It is not something pleasant and nice, but so far it seems there have been deadlier and more frequent terror act committed by radical Muslims in Europe than in Israel. People see the news from Europe and they don't want that here. A closer vetting of refugees from that region seems reasonable and letting them in unchecked seem irresponsible.
CO or CO2? Both are possible, CO2 poisoning is quite horrible though, whereas CO poisoning may go unnoticed.

> I don't appreciate being called a bad person.

> I disagree with your charges of "racist" and "dangerous".

History is a harsh judge.

People like Trump are nothing on their own, they need a large cadre of others to do their bidding for them. Note that Trump was nominated by the republican party because they figured he might help them win the election no matter what the cost to the country (maybe they told themselves and are still telling themselves that it is worth it and that he can be controlled). By voting for a person like Trump you are essentially abdicating from your position of power and handing it to them but the responsibility still rests with you.

So for every action Trump takes that hurts people you are partially responsible. And if you think that somehow what Trump is doing will benefit that United States then I really would like to know what drives that line of thinking.
> OK, so you're suggesting that we discard practicalities due to the purity of your ideology.

No, I'm not. I'm suggesting we abandon your unfounded fears in the face of historical evidence that bringing in immigrants has only ever done good things for our country and the reality of what is right (helping to relieve human suffering) and wrong (refusing to help when you are able to do so at no real cost to yourself.)

This will be my last reply to you since you are just clinging to right wing xenophobia.
It's not that simple. Rent is included because we would be looking to buy a home in the US. We currently own a home here. Rent is so we have time to find the right place. We could also use that money to do house hunting visits but those are a lot more expensive.

Here's a few other costs we've found and we find more every day:

- Legal and processing fees for filing immigration paper work, doctor's visits, travel to interviews

- One way airfare or multiple airfares if I move first and family comes later so I can see them

- Getting all our belongings packed up and moved by a reputable mover

- Assistance with job placement for my wife since she also works

- Realtor fees for buying/selling ourt homes

- Some assistance with furnishing the new home

It can go on and on.
Or you could get kicked out yourself by the toxic people in your community.
No 9/11 or later terrorists have come to the US as refugees or from the nations targeted for specific bans, so the idea that this is about protecting against terrorists is pretty amusing.

Its almost as if it is a set of policies designed to avoid preventing terrorism.
Sometimes you can use bit-shift operations instead of multiplication and division, but you probably shouldn't unless you're an optimizing compiler or in a situation where you're doing the job of one by hand. Likewise, you probably shouldn't use a side-effecting function with map.

In a two-party system, few people agree with every policy in someone's platform. I voted for Clinton but disagreed with many of her views and actions. Oftentimes people are voting based on a single very important issue or for the lesser of two evils.

I'm curious why you think supporting a ban like this is a "cancer"? It's heavy-handed and misguided, but religion is ideology. People see heinous acts worldwide perpetrated in the name of Islam. Some Muslims have extremely regressive beliefs on women's rights, gay rights, personal freedoms like drinking alcohol or even making loans that make even the staunchest Bible thumper look progressive. They see countries with larger Muslim immigrant populations like France in constant disarray, with little integration and once peaceful neighborhoods lit on fire. Even people with no initial ties to terrorism read up on this ideology online and commit lone wolf attacks.

So why do we want these people coming in? Maybe we have a principles-based belief in religious freedom and don't want to appear discriminatory. There are some more secular or Westernized Muslims who can live peacefully and contribute to our society. Helping refugees will help save innocent lives and undermine ISIS. Those are all great reasons, but it's disingenuous to pretend they come at zero cost. Some people do this analysis and say it's worth it, and others disagree. A sovereign state has a right to its borders and admitting immigrants who advance its interests.

I don't support the ban, namely for the reasons I gave above, but it's completely understandable why someone would. It doesn't make them a bigot or evil, just scared and perhaps lacking in empathy. The hardcore left does itself no favors in this regard, constantly parroting the "religion of peace" line and pretending there are no reasonable reasons to oppose immigration that they need to argue against.
Ask HN: Can we get a ruling on political submissions?
There seem to be two sides to the debate here:

1) I come to HN to read about tech news and things interesting to hackers, not to read divisive political discourse.

2) Current political events absolutely should be on HN because the events concern the tech community and we have a unique position to be able to influence them.

Can a moderator make a ruling on what HN's official position is going to be? Over the past few months, I've seen more and more purely political posts rising up to the top spots on the front page. Many times they are flagged off the front page, but the fact that they are rising so quickly implies that many people want them there.
As a resident of that very city, I thank you for not bringing your bigoted behind here. Stay away, please.

Edit: okay, that was not a great thing for me to say. Sorry. I'm just fed up with the repeated vilification of a great American city by the buffoon-in-chief. Yes, violence in the city is a big problem, but it's hardly its defining characteristic.

Edit 2: apology rescinded.
And anyone who supports a man who is killing innocent people with drones, wiretaps all the world, signs things that allow kill people without any questions is a bad person. Heck, some even voted for him twice! What a bunch of fascist.

You can say the same thing about the Democratic smear campaign against Trump.

Clinton was somebody who was complacent, part of the existing political machine, and ran on a divisive platform that marginalized 25% of the electorate. Plus it didn't help that she ran the gender card into the ground and got out campaigned by political neophytes in both major parties in the biggest campaign in the world.
