It's important to note what the original claim of the parent comment was. It was not "illegal immigrants" but "uncontrolled immigration" which includes both legal AND illegal immigrants.

I've been in situations like this as well. It's crazy to sit across from someone in an interview and think to yourself, "This person has no idea and I'm not going to let them in on it."
I like how Trump supporters in synch stated to care about LGBT and women rights in Muslim countries. Probably some popular thread on a Klan forum.
When the population is incapable of caring for itself, when do you jump in as state? If the population is harming itself, when do you stop it?

If you see a person is injuring themselves deliberately, will you stop them or do you let this person continue?
Fighting for better health is authoritarianism now? that's a new one. I did not hear that argument when countries are raising cigarette taxes. Australia with one of the highest cigarette tax is also a socialist country then?

>whats happening to gays and women in Muslim countries.

Does he allow gay men or muslim women to enter then? I would applaud such an initiative. Why doesn't he do that? Muslim women far outnumber christians in these countries, if you cared so much about them you'd be against this ban.

If you care about persecuted people, what about persecuted muslims? Asghar Farhadi, the director of A Separation, cannot attend the Oscars because of the bizarre ban on Iranians. He has a long history of being persecuted by his government. That is not even talking about the millions of muslim doctors, engineers, actually skilled people being bombed out of their homes by all kinds of forces.

And it's not like the US gleefully accepts all refugees from Syria. They go though an extensive process that takes years. The ones that get through - are far less likely to commit any kind of crime than the average American citizen.

Realize that saying something is "obvious" is often not the case, though by definition resilience adds stability and in a dynamic system any addition of any truly resilient element is amplifier of stability, especially in a finite system.

If you're saying that the resilient players might switch to being non-resilient, sure, it's not obvious what would happen, but my assumption is that a resilient player is resilient.

Yep, I love that method. Buy quality basics (screwdriver set, adjustable wrench), then for everything else go to harbor freight as needed. If the harbor freight version breaks, you know you use it enough to justify a quality version.
My opinion is that websites/provider that handle with the customer's sensitive data should release the source, at least the client side source. I just want to be sure that my data is encrypted on the client side and not accessible by the service provider.

It does not mean everyone should be able to use the code. There are still licenses associated with the published source which can/should prevent others to use the code.

Just a point about drop-shipping. Generally with drop-shipping the items ship directly from the upstream wholesaler to the end customer. If they used drop shipping as a way of running JIT inventory control, then I can see why they'd need to charge a large premium as they would be hit hard with shipping costs.
How is filling people up with soda going to make them buy more food?

Honestly, I think free refills were invented because soda is cheaper than the fast food guy's time filling your cup. Therefore, they moved the soda fountains to the dining room and just started handing out cups with meals to save money.

The article is in German, but Google translate does a good job. You only need to read a few paragraphs to get the point. The fact that this newspaper (which usually exalts the virtues of anything made in Germany) has published this paper sets a new landmark. There's a 'before' and 'after'. In Jan 2017, Germans publicly admitted their car manufacturing industry is in trouble.
If your definition of "human rights violation" is any limitation on any freedom then it's a useless definition because "human rights" would then only exist under anarchy.
Uber needs to hit its timeline esp. with self-driving car very fast, they are for now branching into eats etc to buy some time.

White supremacist crowd has been evolving the the last 20 years, but at it's core is still "whites are the best." The biggest change I've seen since their adoption of scientific racism (now known as "human biodiversity") came with the publication of the Bell Curve back in 1994. They had to reconcile their views that whites were the best in all things with the stereotype of the smart asian kid and black professional athlete. So now the whites are in the best all around race. The most inventive, the most adaptive, blah blah blah. Seriously, it sounds like someone took the alien races from space opera, or D&D and made white the humans.

Then of course they bring up "white genocide" and are staunch antimiscegenationists.
The problem is our small shop, revenues are something like 600% iOS/Android. We make hardly anything on the Play Store because (and you can call this classist if you want, but it's what my data tells me) Android users don't spend money. Now that could be because they don't have it, because they don't see value in software, whatever but the point is if you're an app developer and you want to make money, you go to Apple. And because of their ecosystem, you must develop on a Mac.

Now, as they make the Mac worse and worse to have, who knows, maybe people will finally be motivated enough to build an Xcode that runs on Windows or Unix. But you'd still have to have at least one Mac to do your publishing.

I'm a white, male from Norway. A country that has pretty close ties to the US and which is probably very unlikely to end up on any list of countries whose citizens will experience much of a hassle in immigration.

Over the last couple of months the US has developed from a country that I'd rather not visit to a country I really, really don't want to visit. At least not while its political system appears to be under duress and the situation appears to be extremely volatile.

I do travel quite a bit, so this is an actual choice I make several times per year. Just in the last month I've been offered free airline tickets to the US twice, and I declined both offers. One of them was to give a talk (which I really would have liked to), the other was some form of bonus ticket from an airline I fly frequently.

Over the last year I've also experienced an increased interest in working here in Norway from people in the tech industry. Mostly white people with US citizenships or green cards working in the bay area.

If this goes on for much longer it will hurt the US because right now I don't think many of my peers (people in the tech sector) would want to go there, and due to some of the other executive orders, we don't know if we can safely use cloud providers in the US in the future (it'll be great for local cloud providers though).

I doubt any sort of real revolution would happen, my comment was probably worded badly. I meant more as a turning point for the sort of privacy-conscious people who already use Signal. I, and a lot of the people I talk to, take a position on personal tech privacy on something of a middleground, not the full nuclear option and not the Facebook option.

If Signal goes down I would speculate a lot of people who already have things like encrypted messengers, adblockers, things of that nature, would start to move to the only-vpn, no javascript run ever, no Google Play Services on your phone, no proprietary software at any stage of your life sort of deal.

I had the same experience as the OP. My Mac Mini was getting old, and the fan was making a worrisome noise. I wasn't going to buy the "latest" Mini, since it is very stale, hard to upgrade and expensive for what it is. Funnily enough I was already running Windows on that Mini anyway, so my next computer didn't have to be a Mac. But I did enjoy the small footprint, and I have to say that the Mac is probably the easiest hardware to run Windows on. The drivers have been tested and everything just works.

I ended up with the latest "Skull Canyon" NUC as well. Even though it is thinner than my old Mini, its footprint on my desk is about the same, it's just less square. I'm not a fan of the color or the design; it seems marketed at teenage gamerzzz, not at the boring middle aged guy who prefers a minimalist Scandinavian style. But that's not very important. I did have to buy the SSD and the RAM separately, I had to install Windows myself (so that's no better than buying a Mini to run Windows on), and I did have to hunt for a couple of drivers. I don't know why they don't sell a fully configured machine.

Its fan is not as quiet as the Mini, and it has some weird transient behavior when it wakes up from hibernation. It didn't come cheap (I maxed pretty much every spec though). It is very fast, it does the job competently, but I don't Love it like I Loved the Mini. Sad that Apple has abandoned this cute nifty little machine.
> Though lacking in certain ways, the HP Z2 Mini seems like a decent alternative for people who can move out of macOS.

I use Tarsnap and it's great for two big reasons:

1. Deduplication. I have a 10gb database but only about 30mb changes every day. So I can backup the full database each day but only pay for an extra 30mb.

2. Security. Colin is an expert in security and Tarsnap has a respectable bug bounty program. Plus I can have a Tarsnap crypto key which only allows read and write - no delete - which adds an extra layer of security in case a hacker gains access to my server.
Type checking is only part of it, the other part is encapsulation of both data and behavior together.

Basically if you have only a few different shapes of data, Clojure is great. But the moment that you have lots of different data types that are similar but require different behavior, Clojure starts to struggle.

Let's make a trivial example. Imagine that there are 4 different ways to identify an object in your system that are recognized industry wide, you cannot eliminate or choose not to support them. These ways are by the keys :foo, :bar, :baz, and :quux. They are not interchangeable, each is unique, and each one requires a different combination of database or API access to use correctly.

In Java you would probably create an empty interface for ObjectIdentifier with tiny-type classes at Foo, Bar, Baz, and Quux. Methods that only need an identifier of any type could accept/return ObjectIdentifier, but at the integration point you could specialize on each type to hit the correct APIs/Database Tables/Etc.

In Clojure you've got if cases, multimethods, and protocols. Frankly we've had big issues with multimethods and protocols. Without enumerating every single issue we've had, they tend to increase the WTFs per day of the system, and they easily confuse both the programmer and their tooling.

So you end up with if cases, probably related to key/values in a map somewhere. But now you've got two really big problems:

1) Methods that just need an arbitrary identifier of some type end up having to pass the whole map, or use select-keys all over the place, requiring that you modify every point that touches this map when you need to add/remove an identifier.

2) You end up with an implicit ordering between these identifiers. What do you do when your map contains {:foo "foo identifier" :bar "bar identifier"}? In Java you'd have a Foo instance or a Bar instance, never both. But in Clojure you need to pick which one to use which implicitly ranks these choices, or throw an exception or similar. Now obviously if you're deserializing json you will need to make that choice in any language, but in a static one you make that choice exactly once and you're provided a measure of safety by the compiler. In Clojure those decision points leak all over your system.

Ultimately there are ways out of this issue in Clojure, and we've actually tried several. But frankly a lot of the solutions start to feel like a half-baked implementation of plain old Java interfaces and objects.

Trump is trying to manipulate the media to suppress discussion of bad things he does. His trolls have succeeded in suppressing this discussion on HN.
A win for Trump and bad for the rest of us.
You gotta be fucking kidding me! Did you skip the fucking Cameron section? Or the fucking "technologies that shape our future"? This is not some new-age crap. We are talking about things which are leading our lives. We are teaching our kids to be puppets of "tech savy masters". Worst of all, people who legislate about it know shit about computers, and they're probably repeating everything a corporate cocksucker told them to say. So, it's not shaming people about "you're no master at this field", it's about "you sold your fucking life for a few commodities".

And sorry about the fucking vote up in your comment, I'm drunk as hell, couldn't click the fucking right button.
We should be careful about reading too much into this election. There are many well off republicans.

Based on the statistics I've seen, Trump had _fewer_ low income voters than Hillary. In addition Trump has similar percentages of male and white votes to GW Bush Senior [0].

While the disenfranchised poor Trump voter paints a pretty narrative, it leaves out a large volume of voters who turned out that dont fit that mold.

That likely isn't ever going to be possible as a single atomic transaction. After you're paid actual money you can do many things with actual money, including sending it to a counterparty who might give you cryptocurrency, but it is unlikely a credit card processor will provide you with cryptocurrency directly.

One reason, among many: while many people who accept money on the Internet consider chargebacks a drawback, credit card companies see them as a core value proposition. "You, the customer, will never get screwed if you use your PlastiCard!" The way that credit card processors (n.b. not usually the same entity as PlastiCard!) are able to make this work is by having agreements with all their merchants which allow them to recoup costs in the event of a chargeback. If your cryptocurrency is designed to be private, non-reversible, and outside the reach of the legal process... this does not signal wonderful things to a credit card processor about your likelihood of actually paying what you owe them in the event your customers charge back purchases.

Trumps election is a symptom of the effects of perpetual war, associated propaganda and globalization in markets and

His selection is also a backlash against a culture too-far: the emphasis on PC thinking and behavior,the new religion of inclusion which older|traditional personalities find to be decadent and repulsive.
