I think your point here is a little disingenuous. (For reference I'm a longtime LP party member and have recently been getting very involved in the LP at the local level.) While it's true that the recent presidential nominees have all been former Republicans, the reason for this is that the Party has been wanting to put up respectable candidates who have experience. In its early years, the LP was effectively just an outreach organization aimed at spreading the libertarian message. But these days the LP has been wanting to become a real political party that gets candidates elected. And in order to get candidates elected, we need to have respectable candidates.

In local races it's fine to put up someone with no or little experience in government, as long as they are a respected member of the community. But you can't just put up "some dude" for president. So in practice this means we have to take defectors. But heaven knows there has been a lot of consternation in the LP over this. My guess is that the LP is getting tired enough of taking former Republicans that whoever they nominate in 2020 will be homegrown. (Maybe a former Democrat.)

But while the presidential race gets the most press, we've been working hard to get Libertarians elected at lower levels of government. It's just really, really hard to break past the two party mindset (and ballot access laws), and we haven't had a lot of success to date. The difficulties we have getting people elected to the lower levels of translate directly to us nominating former Republicans for president.
This needs more emphasis.

These countries were already hard for US citizens to do business in (hence no Trump holidings). I don't think Trump cares much about money - he is interested in Power.

"Corruption" is a distraction. I also think the thing about his tax returns is the same.
I'm also surprised that just a few hours after the executive order people have been barred from boarding airplanes in international airports on the other side of the Planet.
Secret Service shouldn't protect vice president, because there's a higher target!

This gets repeated so many times, I wonder if we even should use crypto for anything that costs less than a billion dollars. Imagine that you can steal a billion by figuring out how to generate SHA-1 collision. You generate one, then steal the money. Then what? Then you still have a way to generate collisions.

Yes, the possibility of hash collisions is real and it's generally assumed we'll have SHA-1 collisions "real soon now". Just because there are more profitable things to attack doesn't mean that we shouldn't try protecting other systems. For example, consider MD5 collisions: anyone can generate one for free. If someone invented a way to produce collisions for SHA-1, after profiting from the highest profitable target, they will probably try to profit from the next profitable target, etc. and eventually we'll learn that there are collision. What's next? The next step is to protect our systems from collisions. So, we're back to square one.

The simplest way to protect from SHA-1 collisions, is of course switch to the better hash function. For example, BLAKE2 - it's faster and more secure. We'll win some time until it's broken (prediction: it won't happen anytime soon).

Another way to protect against collisions is to build your system in such a way that collisions don't matter. For example, they can use HMAC with a secret key.
We don't have unrestricted capitalism though, far from it. We do have lots of laws that protect workers' rights, including minimum wage laws, which Uber skirts around by classifying their workers as contractors.

Saying "It's capitalism" isn't a justification for anything; it's overly reductive, and we do not live in a purely capitalistic society.
>It's about May 1914

June 28, 1914 was the day Franz was murdered. Before that day there weren't really any more danger of a war in Europe than there were the year before.

It was a wildcard and nobody predicted what would happen it could have happened 10 years before and it could have happened 10 years later. Had there been a couple decent diplomats left in Europe the war could have been avoided. Had the Moltke plan been followed maybe Germany really would have won early. Too many variables to predict.

In summary, please don't compare this to 1914, it makes no sense.
It was heavily reported, and it's not unusual: IT security in the USG is a shit-show.
With the notable exception of Iran, with which diplomatic relationships had improved to a significant extent following the creation of the nuclear framework.

This is what code coverage analysis/metrics try to address.

I'd worry about tuning out said warnings after too many false positives. Comments regular enough to not generate too many false positives can generally be turned into real syntax of some description.

Assuming that's the case: So what? They could also do similarly on a lot of other topics, some directly opposing the current statement.

I also doubt that opposing positions on one the current government's key issues is actually free. Uber has a lot of local regulatory issues, and complex enough international setup - federal (and some state's) goodwill surely has some affect on Uber's success.
When I see a five star system, my default rating is a 3, unless there's something that sways it in some other direction. Why would the default rating be the very top of the scale?! Then you can't reward excellence. The median trip certainly is not "excellent". YouTube recognized this awhile ago and went to the better "thumbs up/thumbs down" system.

Birtherism, the Central Park Five, etc. The blatant bigotry is either desired, or all too easily diminished and dismissed or he would not be president. As much as it implicates Trump, keep in mind the U.S. Speaker of the House agreed with this specifically signed policy yesterday, as has the Vice President.

It is a trap to think this is about just Trump.
That is what North Carolina thought. Major companies pressuring the government helps shift people's opinions on what is acceptable in modern society.

Even if you don't care about doing the right thing, losing some business from a (shrinking) minority of Americans is probably worth the positive publicity overseas, economic stability, retaining visa-holding employees, etc.

I tried getting it reversed but not dice. Very frustrating.
Also explains why we are miserable. When we are having a good time, time flies. When we are not time slows down. It's as if our brain is wired to fast-forward the good parts and play the bad parts in slow motion so I guess we have time to deal with them. It wired to perform, not wired to enjoy.

All those drivers will be out of business in a few years when Uber roles out its autonomous cars. (which is not a bad thing per say; these people will be forced to find other work)
> What I also hate is that Uber tries to play the PR game

What's the point of casting aspersions on Uber's motives here? I'm pretty sure everyone at Uber has lots of middle eastern coworkers. They have every reason to be utterly horrified. Is it possible that they are, in fact, actually horrified and talking about this publicly is not just a part of some cunning scheme?
It's a temporary, 90-day hold on entry of people from countries that have open conflict among jihadist groups (except Iran).

So I think the legal footing that Trump is trying to make is with respect to 'security'.

And it's temporary.

So those two things: that's it's for 'national security' and 'temporary' may make this within his power.

After 9/11 - Bush did a somewhat similar thing - changed the entry rules temporarily while new legislation/processes was enacted.

It's going to be a long 4 years, we need to saver our energy for the right fights.

I'll bet $1000 that after 90 days, the system will remain de-facto the same as it was before.

The 'long term' fight that is really relevant to 'us nerds' I think will be net-neutrality.

That will be permanent.

I was in favor of Trumps election campaign because I didn't think he would actually do anything like this. His position during the election was presented to me as a temporary moratorium on immigration from nations with ongoing conflicts. That's not what we got in having people who are temporary or permanent residents of the United States being at risk of no longer being able to live in America. This is one of the most ridiculous and callous policy positions I have ever seen and I no loner support Trump.
It's not fair to put this on Obama. He didn't draft up this list to be used as an outright ban, as Trump has.
Talk to your representatives at all levels. You get much more bang for your buck than complaining online.
I think I already pointed out that by 1935 in Germany it probably was too late.
Legal resident != Citizen. Until you have citizenship you can be sent back at any time for any reason. People get sent back or denied entry all the time for various reasons. What he did sucks but the media is making it out to be a much bigger deal than it actually is. The number of people "trapped" overseas is probably in the hundreds.

We're bombing people in almost every country on the list, so I have no idea why this wasn't done years ago.
People seem to understand stars roughly as well as thumbs up / down (except for some people who review "best ever. 1 star." which does happen). But if you drop it to up/down you lose any signal in the 3-5 stars range, which make up a ton of review rankings.
The influx is the refugees fleeing the conflict. These are exactly the people that we want to support because they are peaceful and are not contributing to the conflict.

In those 90 days lives that could have been saved might be lost all because we have a moron in charge. Inaction is not acceptable and fighting this thing tooth and nail is the right thing to do because historical precedent says it only gets worse from here.
I'm sorry but I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. Which specific poll are you referring to and what specific problem do you have with its methodology? What poll more accurately describes public opinion, or is public opinion on this subject either "unknowable" or in some other way clear?
I don't think you'll find many people arguing against that. It's one of the main reasons why Trump won.
And how many of those are there? Do you think many uber drivers can afford to go overseas? Yes a few, but I doubt it's a high number. This is just a PR stunt.
Not so clear to me:

He seemed to backtrack. At this point in May he even called it temporary.
Point of note: those of you who also have their animated gifs set to run once and not loop, you're only supposed to stay exhaled for 4 seconds.

Don't do what I did.
I stop doing business with the companies, and avoid them permanently.

Residential Cable and Fiber Optic utility companies are companies I refuse to do business with.

Their employees hate their jobs, and I hate the prices the companies charge.

Realizing that there is likely a balance to draw between pricing and employee compensation, I don't fault the employees at all, for despising the living they must earn to put a roof over their heads. I also realize that running an infrastructure project like a fiber optic plant [0,1] is no small challenge.

Nonetheless, I really do not benefit from the service, considering what I get for the chunk bitten from my wallet on a monthly recurring basis. To compound this, having to negotiate with unhappy people, clamoring for a drop of power taken from my life and added to theirs, when something doesn't go perfectly, really leaves me dissatisfied enough, to never go back.

Paying an ISP money (my own money), I'd rate as a task about as enjoyable as maintaining SSL certificates.

I don't disagree with you advice re: React.

Angular 1's commit graph shows it is far from abandoned, though: https://github.com/angular/angular.js/graphs/contributors

From what I've seen, Angular 1 is used in so many enterprise projects that some big companies would probably be willing to pay for continued development and support for years, should anyone be willing to provide it.
Yup, that's exactly what I was referring to. I'm not sure what that has to do with "more messengers, the better", though.

> can you name anyone in the Trump administration who is promoting ethnic cleansing?

All of them, since that's the purpose of this administration
but basically you're saying if they say nothing, it's horrible. if they say anything good, it's a PR stunt.

so they're incapable of doing anything positive? which you may think and are welcome to do so, but it seems a teensy bit prejudicial to me.
For a vendor I can live without, I just stop doing business with them. And a chargeback on whatever CC I used for the transaction in question, if I feel I was defrauded in some way.

For somebody like an ISP or cellular provider, where I don't have much option (in the US), I'm pretty much stuck complaining on Twitter, for the good that does.

For problems with consumer goods, Twitter can be good at getting quick responses from the vendor. Usually better for niche items, where the vendor has an image to uphold. As noted elsewhere, Apple probably doesn't care enough to respond.

Thankfully, I've never had a problem that was large enough to consider legal remedy through the court system. I came close on a car insurance claim, but it resolved days before I visited the local court (after months of being jerked around).
I have a problem with the helplessness implied in our somewhat breathless reporting of which tech leaders speak out. I agree in general that tech CEOs should resist this administration and do so publicly. But it's even more important that rank-and-file employees organize and put their market power in the service of their ideals, rather than the other way around.
The trouble is that you can't convince someone that their own beliefs or policies they support are racial or religious discrimination. People can and do support these policies, and they can and do insist that the reasons for them are genuine concern for America's safety.
I realize that the parent comment focused on Uber, but my concern is directed at the personalization of the post. This was posted under Travis' personal Facebook account. It was a statement by him to his employees that he chose to then release publicly (also look at his use of personal pronouns in places). If this were a statement released by Uber I would take less issue with it.

I have seen the fallout from friends who personally experienced horrible treatment by the guy, so this fake hero crusade is what I take issue with. Uber paying affected drivers, on the other hand, is fantastic.

I once dealt with a deceptive and/or fraudulent gym by filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. The gym called me almost immediately and gave me whatever I wanted.

It turned out that the gym was being sold, and the BBB complaint was probably a negotiation liability many times greater than what they actually owed me.
So doing and saying nothing would have been better in your opinion?

I am glad almost EVERYONE, from my neighbor to the CEO of pretty much every major Co, is speaking out in protest.
> sounds like maybe Toronto cabs aren't playing by the regular rules of economics

Indeed, I should have said the supply of cars is less regulated in Toronto, or at least it's not made as artificially low as it is in places like NYC (via medallion system which costs $1 million each). But the prices are still heavily regulated and they set the prices higher so the drivers could make money still as a consequence of having fewer rides due to the greater supply.

The big reason Taxi companies hate Uber is that it messes up their control of supply, keeping it artificially low.
Perhaps that was what he meant with the order, but the text of the order does not indicate a preference for any one religion over the other.

I'm really getting tired of reporters (or journalists, or bloggers, or whoever it is that writes news these days) describing Trump's actions as they understand them rather than how they actually are. It's unnecessary and doesn't help. It just means I have to go digging around for explanations to things that should have been fully explained in the article itself.
> However, is Travis really the best messenger?

One, should or would Kalanick say to himself, well, maybe I'm not the BEST messenger... so I'll just keep totally quiet on this one...

Two, if he just kept quiet, does it seem possible that people would then complain that he's bad for keeping quiet?

Capitalism trends towards monopoly, and a monopoly doesn't have to give a shit about how they treat customers as customers have no choice. So a radical(as in, rizomatic) solution would be to make people aware of the actual problem and claim for better regulation or lobby if you have the power to do it.
Now for a personal solution, good luck (:

Apple is not above doing side projects if they integrate existing components. The early Apple TV and iPod Touch come to mind.

IMO the bigger issue with the Mac Mini is that it used to be designed with very similar internals to the plastic/polycarbonate MacBook.

When they discontinued those machines in favour of laptops with integrated RAM and storage, my suspicion is the design path became less clear and required more engineers.

This does not seem consistent. One is right to move freely and the other is right to live. Why is this so much worse than the other?

I was taught in ~5th grade that you can trust a ".org, .gov, or .edu" website when looking for sources. (This was in a Massachusetts public school)
but if the laws that protect workers' rights are so good, why do they even stay with Uber? You yourself said Uber doesn't follow minimum wage law or protect the workers' rights. Doesn't that mean the ride-sharing market, at equilibrium, sets the wage higher than whatever the driver's alternatives might be?
With some technological assistance, it seems like a group of 10,000 representatives would actually be robust to many of the problems with the current smaller group.
