I am against indiscriminate immigration policies.

There are always trade-offs. For every good immigrants such as your folks, there are those who are utterly destructive. This is just a fact. Therefore, you cannot be careless about who comes into your country. Some people just don't want the same things that you do. They prefer chaos because after death, they will meet their maker and get rewarded for their fundamentalism.

It then becomes a question of, do you accept the downside if the upside is as mundane as perceived goodwill. I think not.

I repeat, not all can be saved and for that matter, not all want to be saved. Some of them actually hate America and as soon as they are in, they will hurt Americans on purpose.

There's moderation (bans for being off topic, bating, coordinated websit raiding, NSFW in the wrong place, etc)

It's indeed hard, but it's exactly one of the purposes the government exists for. It's their job which they have to do to justify their existence. You cannot blame any private for-profit organization for not taking the government's job and spending its money for something else.
Piling on to the misreported news, are the door locks themselves actually network devices? I was under the impression that the door locks were static devices and the key cards were reprogrammed to say "let me into this room".

Can a malicious agent actually prevent previously working key cards from working (during the guest's stay - I know there is a time limit encoded on the key cards) or just prevent new cards from being programmed?

* Original article: http://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms14237

* This is research on nematodes (https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Nematode), an organism that has all its 302 neurons mapped.

* The orthologues of the neuroendocrine peptide FLP-7 and its cognate NPR-22 are the tachykinin / neurokinin family.

* Tachykinin peptides are one of the largest families of neuropeptides https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Tachykinin_peptides.

* In "Neuropeptides: regulators of physiological processes (Strand), H15" some more background info can be found.

* Kinins form of a group of peptides that cause vasodilation, increase vascular permeability, cause hypotension, and introduce contraction of smooth muscle.

* The tachykinins (tachys, swift) evoke a sharp contraction of the smooth muscle of the gut.

* There are at least three types: Substance P, Neurokinin A, and Neurokinin B. The last two have been only discovered in the early 1980s.

* The genes are also called Tac(hykinin).

* Human tachykinin genes are called TAC1 and TAC3 and are equivalent to Tac1 and Tac2 of the mouse.

* Connection between Tac1 in mouse and adiposity is known https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4398763/

* Or Tachykinins and lipid metabolism in drosophila: http://www.cell.com/cell-reports/abstract/S2211-1247(14)0073...

* Here is where you can buy tachykinins: https://www.scbt.com/scbt/browse/chemicals-Nucleotides-Pepti...

* Note. As layman (I've only studied regulatory networks for the purpose of evo-devo algorithms) it is likely that diversification of neuropeptide function across the peripheral system (different functionality in heart vessels vs intestines e.g.) means that it is also likely that the evolutionary function has not been preserved.

* Note. Why do tachykinins have the right structure to play a role in this pathway?

* The study is still interesting because tachykinins are an "evolutionary preserved" family of peptide neurotransmitters.

Read the "Credit By Examination" section on this page:

http://www5.njit.edu/registrar/transfer/

If you're willing to self-study and pay for some tests, you could potentially CLEP out of Physics, Calculus, your non-CS lower-level course requirements, etc. Talk to your registrar.

Testing out of all the basic stuff could cut your list of remaining classes by half, and you won't have to worry about some bad score in a history class bringing down your GPA because you only cared about passing.

And even if you wanted to be well-rounded, it'd still be a good way to bypass boring general education courses and get into more rigorous and interesting upper level classes where the professors and the students care more about the subject matter.
There's a small eight year gap in your list there.

[Edit: parent was edited, I was replying to a house example] Not exactly. The comparision doesn't account for scale, and in case of largest platforms (like Facebook) it's more like "leave our country bloc"... except for such comparisions are probably a bad idea, because there are always too many differences that break them.

But parent comment has a point anyway. Political censorship had (ab)used moderation systems in that way, at the very least in some countries. It's not unheard of cases of censorship slipping under disguise of "protecting from bad/unhealthy things". I can think of a few examples from Russia.

Germany accepted a million immigrants in a single year, mostly Muslims. Do you think that saved them from being the target of terror? (Rhetorical question - it provably didn't.) Did it save them from sexual assaults against women on a mass scale?

Also, what would it say about a population if, as you imply, unless you let them into your country some of them will choose to join the world's most evil terror sect?

Edit: I'm not saying the ban is right though, especially since it seems to be targeting the wrong countries, like Iran. I'm just arguing against the idea that you can appease terrorists.

>That bombing was extensively reported and widely criticized.

Really? Did taxi drivers stop serving the airport? Company leaders asking others to "take a stand"? Liberal media unanimous against it? Judicial intervention?

Because it seems this has 10x or 100x the scale those "widely criticisms" of the bombings had under Obama (during Bush, and for the Iraq war it was only slightly better).

>This attempt to dismiss complaints as hypocrisy is really tiresome. Obama bombed some countries so who cares if Trump fucks over law-abiding American residents for no reason.

Well, that's the hypocrisy though. What's worth protesting "law-abiding American residents" who are denied entrance is not for non-Americans from the same countries who are bombed.

Is the world tiring US with all these demands for consistency?

It's like that Mel Brooks quote: “Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die.”

>Also, I'm fairly sure Obama didn't bomb Iran.

No (though Bush did several covert military action and internal meddling there), but he did the same thing Trump did:

"The State Department stopped processing Iraq refugees for six months in 2011, federal officials told ABC News [in 2013] – even for many who had heroically helped U.S. forces as interpreters and intelligence assets."
First of all, anyone can learn about anything now. Everything is everywhere now so you cannot lie to anyone about what America is like or what it isn't like. I suggest you forfeit that line of argument.

Secondly, riddle me this; do more immigrants vote for the party that promises more government welfare or less government welfare? I don't even know where you're going with this.

Finally, no one believes that resources aren't finite and as such it isn't a zero-sum game more than I do. However, when you have speak of how the wealthy/corporations should pay more taxes and those taxes should go to fund more welfare...clearly that's a mindset that says things are scarce and that it is a zero-sum game. One party says expropriate from producers to fund welfare the other says reduce regulation and taxes to incentivise more production. One has a producer mindset, the other has a consumer mindset.

Slightly off topic but related to the product: how can a device using Android be considered safe and trustworthy privacy wise? The maker can surely choose FOSS only Android and encrypt communications, but the moment they add a binary only device driver it can do whatever it wants since it runs with kernel privileges (ie, sniff virtual keyboard, listen to conversations, access messages, contacts, photos, documents etc).
If I'm not mistaken (please correct me in case I am) there's still no phone out there with open device drivers, which IMO translates into giving only a false sense of security to the user.
Moreover, if I buy a security oriented device and it has a remote kill switch, I would expect at least to be the one and only entity in control of it.

I think this is a misunderstanding/misrepresentation of the argument. Following your logic, everyone criticising the Iraq war would be a hypocrite if they did not also oppose Congress' power to authorise wars.

Others are arguing that this executive order violates constitutional rights because it's awfully close to a religious test. Within that line of reasoning, there's no contradiction between opposing this order and not opposing Obama's, assuming those do not violate constitutional rights.
Healthy skepticism is also warranted.

But you bring up a good point. Should the primary point of these kinds of threads be about giving props and praising the startup/service/product or should criticism and skepticism be allowed in as well.

I used the term "cultural appropriation" instead of more positive sounding "cross-fertilisation" thinking it implied oversemplification and misrepresentation.

According to Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_appropriation is not always clearly negative.

What I was referring to is the existing trend to pick ideas from hundreds of years ago, relabeling them while "forgetting" to mention the sources, and selling them as new in some self-help section in a library. This happens to western philosophy as well, and butchering complex philosophies to make them more palatable is hardly beneficial.
It's actually quite useful on many consumer devices, especially those with multiple cores. Most of the time I'm happy I can trade a few CPU cycles for better I/O performance.
>Whataboutism is absolute poison. Are you actually arguing that we should ignore evil on the basis that prior evil wasn't sufficiently protested?

No, selective interest is absolute poison.

Whataboutism is merely about prioritization.

It allows people to have their pet causes and feel good about themselves while ignoring larger scale evil going on and affecting both their country and the lives of millions.

And it's not like what's suggested is something like "do something about everything bad going on or do nothing" paralysis.

It's like, major major evil affecting hundreds of thousands of lives is going on by your country and you don't give a damn, and suddenly you all jump for a much smaller offense.

Prioritize damnit. You can't largely ignore 10x and cry wolf for 1x. Or you can, and you did, but you shouldn't.

I'm not sure about US, but in many places a part of copyright that cannot be given away is the right to be publicly named as an author of the work (in particular, the right to prevent other people being falsely named as authors of the work in public). If this is the case in US, I wonder what would happen if an uncredited author of a screenplay would use that to protest the claim made in the credits that she wasn't an author of that screenplay.
Show HN: Git-recall – Simple and handy tool to easily recall what you've done
I find that most of the arguments given against C++ (such as memory leaks or dangling pointers) can be avoided by using Modern C++ features, like never allocating memory with new but using std::make_unique or avoiding null pointers with not_null from GSL or std::optional.
The potential for JSON parsing to fail is encoded in its
type, not in the potential for a variable to null, or
false, or for an exception to have been thrown. You’re
leaning on the compiler to tell you if you’ve handled the
failure cases properly, as the code won’t compile
otherwise. Now instead of testing for runtime exceptions
you only test to make sure that your business logic is
correct.

Last time I did Java (it like 7 years ago) the compiler did enforce exceptions types as part of the signature. Has this changed in between? Otherwise this does not seem like a valid argument to me.

The OP does discuss checked expcetions a little bit:

Checked exceptions guarantee that someone will deal with
the issue, but they are extremely annoying, and might
result in disparate and different exception handlers all
over the place.

They don't explain why exceptions are annoying (because the compiler checks them, just like optional?) and technically there should be exactly the same number of try-catch handlers as match calls in equivalent Optional<> code... It seems to me that his arguments are mostly based on aesthetics. Something the author half-acknowledges by starting their discussion with "Well, first off I think it’s beautiful."

There are some actual problems with exceptions though:

1. It may be hard to tell from looking at the code which particular calls inside a function produce which particular kinds of exceptions.

2. This is particularly problematic with stateful code, as to ensure exception-save stateful transactions.

3. They tend to be more expensive for the exceptional codepath -- on the other hand, they are faster than Optional for the non-exceptional path!

In my experience points 2 and 3 are the most important. Since in Java many things may throw, one has two think about exception safety anyways most of the time. This is also a good argument maybe, to just avoid statefulnes instead.

Point 3 is very important. Maybe exceptions should be relegated to truly exceptional situations, and not be used as a replacement for an if. Optional<>/Either<> is excellent in this sitiation. Still in some languages do use exceptions for this and familiarity might be something to consider there (I'm thinking of idiomatic Python signals iteration end or key presence in maps, but Python also has very different performance characteristics as Java and does not have static types for the most part anyways...).

As much as I actually love FP, and I am also trying to bring more FP to other languages (C++), I don't believe in fighting the language for the sake of it. Having a nuanced conversation about the "why" and a the "when" is important. Specially when bringing these techniques to communities that are not used to them and, at the end of the day, already have methods that "Just Work TM".

Facebook shouldn't be some kind of universal substrate on the internet anyway. Alternatives should be encouraged, and people can make their own choice about the kind of environment they want to spend their time in.

If you're saying that's impossible, and facebook is some sort of utility, or common carrier, then you can have rights which are enforced upon the space.

Ultimately, either it is a public space (which needs public rights analogous to what exists in the real world, enforced through constitutional or democratic means) or it is a private space, and the owners are free to regulate as they wish, and customers are free to make their own decisions, where to visit and where to spend their time.
