The history of direct action and protest which disrupts daily life is argument enough: It works. History also shows us that when people ignore injustice and just get on with their day, that allows the injustice to grow and fester. The greatest crimes in history have been perpetrated while the majority of people who could have stopped it did nothing.

The word entitlement is so charged and vague, what do you mean by it? No one is legally entitled to disrupt peoples' lives, but the reason why people choose to protest and disrupt society until their demands are met is because they believe that society does not deserve to go on undisrupted while it allows some injustice to continue.

Let's be real. If no one protested this ban on muslims, very few peoples' lives would be disrupted. It would be a slight hiccup to just discard these people from society and replace whatever function they played. We are all disposable. That is why people protest, because otherwise injustice would go unpunished.

The abstract reasoning is this: If society is structured in such a way that an injustice can occur and persist with no disruption to society, then people are morally obligated to disrupt society when that injustice occurs in order to remedy it and prevent it in the future.

The justification is empirical: Evidence demonstrates that when most people can go about their day without hindrance while atrocities are being committed, they will gladly get used to and accept those atrocities as a fact of life.
Anybody who is not a citizen can be denied entry. So it's not new, just reiterating that they have this authority - which they always had.
Hehe they're pretty direct with their finger-pointing so I think you're being a little charitable with your interpretation. Roast as many politicians as you want for whatever reasons you want, they usually deserve it. In this case though it's a little misplaced, and the "Democrats killed jobs" narrative is a little sneaky.
I built https://boombox.io for fun back in late 2015. It's profitable in the sense that it makes more money than it costs, but not for the opportunity cost of my time (if I used those hours working for clients).

The alpha only took a few weeks, but making it production ready took much much longer. I did learn a lot building it, but for it to support me financially, I need to do a ton of sales & marketing.
I hate asking about downvotes, but I'm really confused why this comment has been pushed to the bottom. Why?

Personally I could care less as to what gender identifier you would want to be designated as. But I'm sure that the Facebook management would issue much apologies for causing you such mental distress. Besides, I understand that once you register, Facebook allows for a custom gender designation:

'Agender, Androgyne, Androgynous, Bigender, Cis, Cisgender, Cis Female, Cis Male, Cis Man, Cis Woman, Cisgender Female, Cisgender Male, Cisgender Man, Cisgender Woman, Female to Male, FTM, Gender Fluid, Gender Nonconforming, Gender Questioning, Gender Variant, Genderqueer, Intersex, Male to Female, MTF, Neither, Neutrois, Non-binary, Other, Pangender, Trans, Trans, Trans Female, Trans Female, Trans Male, Trans* Male, Trans Man, Trans* Man, Trans Person, Trans* Person, Trans Woman, Trans* Woman, Transfeminine, Transgender, Transgender Female, Transgender Male, Transgender Man, Transgender Person, Transgender Woman, Transmasculine, Transsexual, Transsexual Female, Transsexual Male, Transsexual Man, Transsexual Person, Transsexual Woman, Two-Spirit'
You made me laugh out loud. Thank you for bringing humour to hackernews.
How many companies donate to super-PACs, the DNC, RNC, etc.?

In this case, the mechanism of political action is constricting the labor supply instead of giving cash to politicians.

It seems crazy for a company to force workers to join a protest, until you think about how they force workers to turn a profit and then donate to politicians that would happily oppress those same workers.
Not all, but plenty of political pieces have been flagged over the past 24 hours. I wouldn't be so confident that this wouldn't either. The likelihood goes down if you don't flag it.

Regardless, the guidelines ask us not to comment on whether a submission is appropriate: just act on it.
When I was very young I spoke with a man who informed me in no uncertain terms that the digital age was old news and the next big thing would be bio-entertainment.
Did their workers agree to share that solidarity? Or are you saying they should have forced their workers to join the protest? Were taxi companies prohibiting drivers from picking up passengers?
Among other things, because "it's harder to build things than to break them" is a hoary and largely discredit trope. And of course because the "got things right 99,999 times" thing betrays a lack of understanding of how software works.
ESP is cheap and good enough for a lot of things...but there are plenty of projects where we need something smaller, lighter, faster, more power efficient, etc. If I don't need WiFi, why have it sucking up battery? Most (nearly all) of the projects we do use other long range wireless protocols. WiFi is just nice for prototyping. There are lots and lots of reasons to move from one board to another or to build your own.

As far as MicroPython goes, same thing. It's great for prototyping, but it's still somewhat hackey, slow, not that memory efficient. It doesn't need to be for its use case...but for production ready sensors I need to be sure to work the best they can off the shelf, I'm gonna write that in C/C++ or most likely Rust (if there is an LLVM backend for the chipset).
Keep in mind that the American election system is such that only 20% of Americans (or 30% of eligible voters) voted for Trump in order to get him into office. So it really does not follow that a move against Trump would anger half the country. Trump famously lost the popular vote as well, and he has one of the lowest approval ratings on entering office of any President in modern history.

Finally, who's more likely to use Lyft? Trump's support base is shockingly hard to truly pin down, but certainly a lot of his base resides in rural areas, not cities -- areas where Lyft (and Uber) may not even operate or, if they do, the volume of rides is far, far lower. My impression, in fact, is that there's almost an inverse correlation between number of heavy Uber/Lyft users and Trump support in the area -- it'd be interesting to see someone actually try to verify/debunk that impression with real data.
Amazon (today) maintains a git repo per package, though in theory there's no reason why it has to stay git (or even be homogenous). Each application is a set of versioned artifacts that can be updated, forked, or merged together so long as the whole set builds together.
I agree that Uber should have participated in the strike. You said "welcome to post-truth politics" and "clearly and unambiguously untrue." Please demonstrate that I am a liar.
If you're talking about moral basis, why would you support the immigration from these radical muslim countries? Huge percentages of them hold truly un-American, anti-liberal, anti-women, anti-gay beliefs.

Homelessness is not acute? I think you not be using that word correctly. For people living paycheck to paycheck they are often one check away from being homeless. It can happen overnight!
"A strikebreaker (sometimes derogatorily called a scab, blackleg, or knobstick) is a person who works despite an ongoing strike."
Sadly, this justifies what trump was/is doing.
The intended goal of my comment was not partisan – I believe that Steve Bannon's reckless disregard for objective fact represents a threat to the United States, independent of any party allegiance.
That's not saying much when there's very little good third-party content. Except for House of Cards S1, Netflix original content is B-grade at best.

When Netflix started instant streaming, they had a solid content repertoire from various places. Today, they have very few good third-party movies, and they try to fill the empty space with lousy Original Content.

Of course people will prefer Originals compared to very few crappy alternatives. I would rather see Netflix spend money on getting programming from other companies instead of throwing money at Adam Sandler.

One of his big selling points is that he isn't a politician. When a person tells me who they are, I tend to believe them until they prove otherwise. When you add in that some of his top advisors are neo-nazis and white-supremacists, there is nothing shocking in what he has done over the last 8 days.

Maybe I'm missing something, but as a point of reference, Sen. Elizabeth Warren isn't up for re-election until 2018. But she filed a statement of candidacy in 2013:

We don't hold car companies accountable when their locks are not thief proof or window companies when someone breaks your window.

Usually, this isn't a problem because we deal with this through law enforcement, but law enforcement is very difficult and expensive on the internet, particularly now that you can accept payment in bitcoin.

The reason we have insecure systems is because we deal with systems that require constant vigilance to make sure we do not make mistakes in the face of adversaries. This doesn't scale for users and this doesn't scale for developers either.

There are certainly people who take security more and less seriously, and this would definitely move the needle on that, but I am not really sure it would move the needle on actual security, since actual security is hard.

You made a bad argument, hide your ego in your pocket and admit it instead of writing such a nonsense. Both clang and Rust compiler are based on LLVM and they both can target only those platforms that LLVM target. If you can't use clang today then you can't use Rust also. We are not talking about "hypothetical" situations or alternative worlds because in those situations i can say whatever I want about clang also...
Where are you getting "sinister" from? There's no negative implication in the GP commenter - they were literally just describing the root cause. We're on Hacker News, I think it's safe to say that automating processes/jobs is our bread-and-butter.

The issue is that someone's trying to imply that merely proposing that the US has a modest minimum wage is enough to endanger people's livelihoods. To me that's the only sinister thing here - which is basically what my original comment was hinting at.
they were when you had to write your own dialer in assembly on cp/m when most people hadn't even touched a computer...
I still don't understand why you'd prefer a "hello" message in that context. If you're able to take quick questions but are working on something else, isn't it better to get the question in the initial message so you can decide if it's quick or deferable with minimal back and forth?
I agree, but I believe it is well-sourced.
You're on to something, but even if the 'badness' on an individual basis is the same as 20 years ago, the volume has gone up more than linearly. As more people have joined and been able to find other like-minded folks, they've become emboldened to contribute more. And I don't think this has just happened in 'bad' communities - I've seen it happen in all sorts of communities - people connecting to other folks online has seemed to have this multiplier effect all over.
You can make your immigration policy tighter for residency/naturalization, it's within country's right, but tying that to where people are born is pretty sad.
It makes so much more sense to permanently freeze wages while inflation makes its steady march. What could possibly go wrong?
That's a partisan point, and it's unrelated to the article, so you can expect pushback. The better rhetorical strategy is to confine your criticisms as closely as you can to the subject at hand, and to take extra care in linking other concerns to it.

"Partisan" doesn't mean "wrong".
The closure compiler is a very smart system, and was ahead of it's time in many ways, but now you can get type checking and stronger OO behaviors without being so verbose.

I'm on a team with a moderately large frontend written with the closure compiler, and we are looking forward to using other libraries on new projects.
Keep in mind cost of living is lower.
So two wrongs do make a right? What other abuses of worker's rights should we demand they do, for "good reasons"?

Companies also collectively fire people to bolster their profits, maybe we should demand they do some mass firings for a good cause. Trump supporters, maybe?
I completely understand that. But it's a term he used for himself, and I think it's funny to semi-accurately (not in terms of actual definition but in terms of someone's self-description) label a member of a Republican administration as a Leninist.

Though Bannon may be more accurate than he realizes about being a "Leninist" since he wants his faction to be the vanguard party with power derived from the white working class and voters who identify with such.

If you want to claim that the justification is empirical, you are going to need some real empirical evidence.

With respect to the word entitlement:
I mean ethically. When someone is angry (like the people in this thread promising to delete Uber) that something didn't happen, then it seems like they felt entitled to have it happen.
No, it doesn't.

Airbnb waives the airbnb fees, but does not pay the host for accommodations offered under the program. To me, that is not "Airbnb is providing free housing".

No product is going to cure people of anything and certainly no commercial company has that kind of capability.

I read the line you quoted as saying designers and developers should build things in ways that don't make life worse. We can't "cure people", but we can make their lives better by considering their needs. This is true for everyone, but especially more vulnerable people.

Taking Monzo as an example, they make it very easy to freeze your card if you lose by enabling a user to do it via their app. And they enable a user to unfreeze their card if they find it again. Other banks make you telephone a call centre, go through automated menus, and speak to someone to cancel the card and then you have to wait days (or weeks..) to get a new one. Someone who has lost their bank card is already likely to be anxious, so Monzo have made their life a little better. It's good that they think about these things rather than just copying the other banks.
Hi.
The author of the article here.

The webpack and Rollup experiments were done with uglify and gzip enabled. The numbers are based on the reported values in Chrome when running the code here:
http://www.syntaxsuccess.com/rollup-bundle

The uglify code was accidentally commented out in the source on Github, but I have fixed that now.
Drivers are only allowed to turn down a limited number of rides before they are no longer allowed to be uber drivers for the day.
There's an article that goes into motivation versus discipline [1] that holds a similar view to what you're saying - motivation is like waiting to get into Olympic form, whereas discipline is what gets you to Olympic form.

Lyft operates in Malaysia, where Israelis are banned from entering unless they get a letter of approval from the Ministry of Home Affairs, which is nearly impossible for the average Israeli. I'm curious if Lyft has any qualms about operating in Malaysia? I understand their disgust with Trump's action but I do hope they're consistent with their views.
It's useful to consider not just download size, but also the time required to parse the extra code, and the extra memory used by the code that's parsed and loaded into memory, but not actually used.

Probably not a concern for desktop/laptop users, but there are plenty of mobile devices out there with relatively slow processors and 1GB of RAM or less.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. By "like that", I meant not paying the host :)

You're understating the effort of building an online business by a factor of thousand. Author's premise might not be widely applicable — that's debatable but don't make the mistake of assuming that you can just decide to build a product and rake $$$ in a jiffy. It takes a tremendous learning and an arduous effort to even hit few thousand dollars of stable monthly revenue.

FWIW, I suffer from pain in the same joints of my hands, and blister packs exacerbate it. That's not to say that switching to blister packs for general use isn't a good thing, just that it isn't a universal positive.

Seems like a strange way for a UK bank to phrase this - AFAIK, the Tylenol brand has never been used in the UK.

A lot of countries grant citizenship based on some points system. In most of them having a Master's degree brings you more points.
Mathematics has a similar phenomenon. Not every great performer at the IMO (and similar) becomes a great researcher, although overall they certainly do better than the average. And even the most prodigious IMO performers rarely do any meaningful research until after completing a PhD later in life.

Terence Tao is an example of someone extremely prodigious at math competitions who also ended up being one of the world's best researchers. And he also didn't really do meaningful research until after his PhD.
I support skepticism about things like this, but I will say: Wim is not scamming people. He's showing them how to do something that works to lengthen his breath retention underwater and the regulation of his body heat. What he does is similar to pranayama, and dissimilar to hyperventilating in that he's pausing between the inhale and the exhale, a lot like the Navy SEALS.

Wim is not a great public speaker, and English is a second language to him, so what you see as evasion appears to me as a non-scientist trying to explain his experience in a language he hasn't mastered.

If you are going to claim that people have drowned by following his methods, you should link to it. Wim and his website are careful to say that this breathing technique should only be done in a safe place, sitting down. And if people go into ice water they should be supervised.

There is some scientific support, published in the Proceedings for the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) for a breathing technique that can affect our autoimmune responses.

http://www.icemanwimhof.com/files/pnas.pdf

Briefly, sustained deep breathing mimics and breath retention stimulates the production of epinephrin/adrenalin and influences the autonomic nervous system.

When he came to the Bay, Andrew Huberman brought him into his neurobiology lab at Stanford to run some tests on him. Wim is doing something that deserves attention, and his breathing exercises can help change your mental and physical state. You don't take his word for, or mine. Just try it.
I wished this followed the 4-7-8 breathing technique. I have been practicing this for the last few weeks and it has been a really positive experience for me.
This is huge. ClojureScript's biggest weakness has always been its inability to just use standard JS stuff the way Clojure could use standard Java stuff. Sounds like they've finally solved it (yes, alpha-quality, but still).
The most obvious solution is to in increase the grad school stipend. If grad students made more then you avoid those 'wasted years'. Yes, this means we would have fewer post grads, but that seems like a reasonable trade off.
It is definitely morally right. Calling Uber a vulture ignores the reality that the world doesn't stop just because some protesters are unhappy.
