NUC6i5SYK and Ubuntu 15.10 and now 16.04 LTS. Since I got the NUC right after its release I was hoping for newer kernels to fix some of these problems, but they didn't.
I ran a windows pc connected to a tv for a while and ultimately decided that it was a lot of upkeep and hassle. Some of it was that I was using one of those infinitv cable card tuners with windows media center. But a lot of it was the pain of managing upgrades, and dealing with wake/sleep with an ir receiver. It was just always a lot of work.

So I moved to an Apple TV and a server running freenas. Any computer-y stuff basically involves the Apple TV talking to the nas, and I can admin the nas over web ui and ssh. I'm sure you can get remote admin setup with windows for similar experience, but having been on both sides, stuff breaks down all the time on windows and it's just a less-than-stellar OS for the tv.
Which products these might be?

Btw a number of vendors mark third world products as "ethically sourced", so it's possible to avoid products from dictatorships.
Even it that is true, that doesn't make it wrong.
One of the byproducts of Putin's rule in the first years was to convince the Russian public that politics doesn't work and that Russia needs a benevolent dictator to rule it. It looks like it took just one week of Trump to convince you of the same...
When the U.S. and Russia began joint space station operations aboard the Mir station, one of the startling findings was the enormous quantity of water the American astronauts consumed compared to their Russian counterparts. I remember my first trips abroad to Europe and Asia and being baffled by how little water people drink or the tiny cups that they're served with.

Among Americans, the South is especially known for even more to drink and eat, with larger portions and sweeter drinks.

There's definitely some kind of huge cultural gap and is one of those weird subtle things that makes traveling interesting.
> but we won't visit America under Trump

I don't think putting all Americans in the same bag because you don't like an elected politician is fair. I'm European and have been to America. It's a country that is extremely diverse. Maine doesn't look like Florida which doesn't look like Texas which doesn't look like California.

It would be like boycotting all Europe because some guy you don't like got elected at the European level and took a decision you didn't like. The whole TSA thing is a pain in the arse but I got there by car from Canada and I will always remember the fog descending on the hills on the early morning when I entered Maine, it was just magic. You're missing a lot.
If he's going to stop purchasing and using American good and cancel plans to come to America after the immigration policy was implemented, but not after Obama's targeted killings in Yemen and elsewhere, then clearly the former crossed a line while the latter didn't.
ATM this post is downvoted below zero.

I think it poses a legit question, there are in fact a different mindsets related to leftovers in different places, i.e. asking for a "doggy bag" is a thing in some places and not others.

To stay on drinks, my wife leaves glasses of water half full, and it drives me insane.
My experience as a buyer doesn't match. I've been trying to find a cheap older model just to noodle around with/set up a lightweight media server. Everyone around me are trying to get 2x their practical value, it seems.

But then, I've been keeping a 2009 MBP alive with salvaged parts - so I probably don't adequately consider the apple tax on used equipment.

I'd say there's a time and place for cheapest-possible, and for buy-it-for-life quality. I own a bunch of cheapest-possible tools that I bought when I was younger and poorer and just starting out on my own. The tools have been useful and allowed me to repair stuff around the house so they've definitely improved my life, but they won't last forever.

As they break or wear out over the years, I'm slowly replacing them with top-quality stuff. However, I would NOT have wanted to "buy it for life" when I was first starting out (even if I could've afforded it), because I didn't know my own long-term needs well enough to predict which tools I'd actually need and use often, and what features I'd want in them.

If you buy good quality stuff that's actually the wrong stuff for your needs ("why do I even own this band saw that I never use?"), it doesn't matter how good the quality is -- it's still wasteful. So I'd say there can be a time and place for the cheapest possible thing -- and hey, my $5 yard sale circular saw is still going strong after all these years, even if it makes a burning smell....

A summarizing paragraph about the difference between approaches taken by the campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump (https://hyp.is/u4tphuVzEea0AVcCYuOojw/motherboard.vice.com/r...):

> Again, this is nothing new. The Democrats did similar things, but there is no evidence that they relied on psychometric profiling. Cambridge Analytica, however, divided the US population into 32 personality types, and focused on just 17 states. And just as Kosinski had established that men who like MAC cosmetics are slightly more likely to be gay, the company discovered that a preference for cars made in the US was a great indication of a potential Trump voter. Among other things, these findings now showed Trump which messages worked best and where. The decision to focus on Michigan and Wisconsin in the final weeks of the campaign was made on the basis of data analysis. The candidate became the instrument for implementing a big data model.
A very sincere question to you - do you also boycott things made in China/Russia? Do you think those countries are "better" (whatever that word means to you) than USA under Trump? If yes, I applaud your integrity even though I may not agree with your actions. If no, why do you have different standards?

This statement alarmed me, so I looked into it and I find it's a tad misleading. The executive order itself neither explicitly prioritizes Christians over Muslims nor mentions either religion by name. It directs authorities to give priorities to applicants who practice a minority religion in their country of origin.

We should not forget that the alt-right is part of the neo-reactionary / dark enlightenment / Mencius Moldbug crowd. These people explicitly want to destroy liberal democracy and initiate the rule of hereditary strong men ruling ethnostates. This may sound like an exaggeration, but I encourage those that think this to actually read their writings. This is an explicit goal. These ideas are 21st century fascism as defined by Umberto Eco.

Sadly, these people are on this very forum now.

So we need to be careful to not upset Muslims because they can hurt us? That's interesting.

They're trying to offset the increased cost of diabetes and other health issues linked to high-calorie drinks. It's meeting heavy resistance from lobbying groups at the moment.

But
The problem is there is no way to know for sure who is isis fighter or just wants to cause havoc. In one of the Podesta emails they outline that they have no way at the time to know who is bad guy and we should just take hundred thousand of people like that and hope nothing goes wrong? Look at how it went in Europe: rise of rape and terrorist attacks.
Ironically, the states without CON laws help those that do have them, by allowing increased sales and thus lowering the unit costs.

And I disagree with your methodology. :)

Impulsive or not, humans are bad at estimating. The purpose of explicit shopping lists and cash only budgeting is to, first, cap spending to a predetermined amount, making a budget much easier to adhere to, and second, eliminate the temptation to cheat.

Does everyone need these tools to help enforce discipline? Maybe not. But given the average amount of savings and debt out there, I'm gonna guess most can benefit from any help they can get.

In essence, your argument is "people should just be smarter". Evidence shows that kind of simplistic, idealistic approach just doesn't work.
You're asking for evidence of cognitive biases ? There's a WHOLE discipline that documented it in several thousands of articles. If you still believe humans are perfectly free of their choices, I have bad news for you : they are not.

Wow, the chaos of the Trump administration has now fallen on Hacker News and heated political discussion has ensued. I didn't think there were ever discussions here about US foreign policy, except for how they relate to things with some connection to the industry. How curious!
Idiocracy. IRL.
When designing this experiment, we were pretty sure that cooperation would break down altogether based on what people had previously tried. That it didn't and resembles more what we see in the real world (things generally work and people don't stab each other in the back) was not obvious.

A general challenge in doing social science research is that once you present a new result, someone will always claim that it was obvious because of X. What they don't see was that there was a Y that could have plausibly explained an entirely different result. Once we've shown which of X or Y is more likely, the world updates, but it was not obvious to begin with.

My collaborator Duncan Watts (one of the pioneers in the field of network science) has written a book about this phenomenon: Everything is Obvious, Once You Know the Answer.
For me, and probably many Europeans: yes, that is how we are raised. It's not su much of being taboo, more like a sense that it makes no sense to waste anything (not just food/water) and is bad for the planet in general. (well, there is truth in that). My parents even had a picture of a bunch of underfed kids from Ethiopia (or so) on the wall in the kitchen. If we didn't eat our plate, they'd point to it and say something like 'You see that? They would go nuts for that bit of food that is still on your plate. Eat it.' Thinking of it now I can see that might not be regarded as best practices in education, but they meant it well.

> People, the people who have these jobs, have the moral right to resist these policies.

IIRC, the percentage of people who resisted against the nazi here in France if only by quitting their jobs was around ~5%. This makes this kind of resistance highly inefficient when there are millions people willing to do the dirty job which thanks to government propaganda is considered moral and right anyway by most. The only way is to remove the people on top sending those orders (not easy) and by trying to avoid anyone from having so much power at the top in the first place (easier). The only way to do this is to distribute the use of force among society and not give the monopoly of force to one single entity as we tend to do.
In the real world, there are winners and losers. People show up in a new place and challenge the current inhabitant's claim to possession. It's always been that way. There's no point fretting over a war that was lost 8-10 generations back. Today, the descendants of the European settlers have as much if not more rightful claim to the land as the descendants of the Aboriginal Americans.

All power eventually reduces down to force. If you have the ability to enforce your possession, congratulations, it's your land. This may not comport with the fairy tales that even grown-ups cling to today, but it's how the real world of scarcity, competition, and meritocracy works.

Immigration is good, but if there wasn't an interest in ensuring that immigration policy benefited the host nation, immigration policy wouldn't be a thing. No foreign national is owed access to any country.

Some immigrants are productive and beneficial to the host nation, and some aren't. Immigration policy attempts to filter the wheat from the chaff and to ensure that in aggregate, the citizens of the host nation are benefited, not negatively impacted, by the incoming foreign nationals. That's not a controversial statement -- it's the entire theory of immigration policy in the first place.

What do you think of the NixOS approach as an alternative?
Realistically, I know you are correct. The people with the power are the ones that should take most of the blame for things: After all, some of these elements have been in society for a century and a half, but we've slowly been better at disregarding them, if only because such discrimination is viewed as unconstitutional. You know, until we weren't.

And again, realistically, the 'moderate' trump voters are the very ones that will be more easily swayed to the anti-Trump side. I'm just not sure how to open up their worldview to see it like that, and the policies being put into place might make that a little more difficult.

The whole thing is uncomfortable, to say the least. Especially when I factor in things like: I'm pretty sure I have family that voted for Trump. Some of those family members agree with some of the worst rhetoric as well - plus I come from the land of Pence. It might even be amazing that I view things like I do, actually.

Difficult times indeed.
To me, what is striking is that USA has always been glimmering example of a civilized society. An asymptote, if you will, of the curve of human progress. It showed other countries what laws are logical ("self-evident"), what is the best way to run an economy and what is the distilled essence of western civilization. Sure, when you look closer, you can always find flaws and internal-struggles. But the principles were always there as an inspiration.

Regardless of the geopolitical situations, it is fair to say that USA is rapidly reaching a point where it can no longer lay a claim on those principles. And I am not claiming that this happened on Nov 8, 2016. This has been happening steadily since the beginning of this century (Iraq War, Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay etc.). And simultaneously it comes at a point where the long term sustainability of its other important contribution (free-market capitalism) is brought to question.

We are really living in an inflection point in history (Like end of European imperialism, fall of communism etc.)
Drinks with "added sugar substitutes" are banned as well. (From the link to the law text)
https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/affichTexte.do?cidTexte=JORFT...
"Interdiction de la mise à disposition de boissons à volonté, gratuites ou pour un prix forfaitaire, avec ajout de sucres ou d'édulcorants de synthèse" : it affects drinks with added sugar and/or synthetic sweeteners (e.g. Coca Cola Zero).
From the Iraq invasion, torture, black sites, rendition, Guantanamo, Libya/Syria/Yemen, 26,000 drone bombs dropped on mainly Muslims in 2016 alone, providing UN/economic/military help to Israel's apartheid state, crony capitalism exported around the world through trade deals while criminal bank CEOs walk free after scamming millions of people and nonviolent drug offenders sit in jail for years if not life.

And this is just since 2000! If a year ago America was a country you admired, here's some advice: do visit, and don't just go to NYC and SF like most tourists, but rent a car and drive through the country. See what there is to admire about how the leaders of the US have run the country for decades vs. home your Scandinavian countries are run. Go to places that voted for Trump whose jobs are gone, whose infrastructure is falling apart, who have no health care and little opportunities for education, whose life expectancy has declined down to 3rd world levels under the America you admired. Perhaps you will then understand better why many Americans found themselves desperate enough to vote for a madman.

I'm confused. That Mac Mini is still amazing. They didn't say anything about wiping the hard drive and reinstalling everything. Maybe there are some problems with the harddrive, so just replace it with a new SSD. Check the RAM and see if any needs replacing. You need to do all of that before you go out and buy a new computer.

I'm using a Lenovo Q190 [1] that runs lubuntu. It's a little slow to start, but everything runs fine. I run Plex Server, Plex Home Theater, Spotify, and RetroPie.

I would gladly trade it for a 2010 Mac Mini. That's crazy. Just reinstall everything and run a scan on your disk and RAM.

> It doesn't sound like the two individuals in the article are actual persecuted refugees. The article doesn't elaborate on that. We're just expected to assume that. But we're told what amazing humans they are and how much they helped the US. That sounds more like a dishing out of green card favors in return for services.

Generally speaking, it's implicit that their lives are at risk because they helped the United States, a country that tends not to get much love in the Middle East.
