I can't say I'm not proud of the Netherlands, but in this context... isn't this a big source of much evil? Us versus them? Ours vs. not ours?

Not exactly true, here's a post on the subject from Instapundit, the largest conservative blog on the net:

WELL, THIS IS STUPID: DHS Spox: Trump Muslim Ban Includes Green Card Holders. It’s fine to be more careful about admitting people from countries that are major terror exporters, but Green Card holders are permanent legal residents — they’re not “admitted,” they’re returning home. If there’s a problem with green card grants to people from those countries, it needs to be addressed systematically, not simply by stopping people at the border. This is a debacle, and I’d be very interested in knowing who actually drafted the order.

I think you'll be surprised at what people think on this issue who support the temporary ban.

Nope.

1) The said person dismissed my argument because of WHO wrote it. Classical ad hominem.

2) I did not say my argument was correct BECAUSE it was written by an immigration expert. Hence, not appeal to authority.

I am curious what your ethnicity is. At what point did you ancestors arrive in the United States, or are you perhaps an immigrant yourself?

Did any of your ancestors, at any point, belong to a group of immigrants that was considered by a portion of the US populace as "undesirable", but were let in nonetheless?

Would you consider your own presence in the United States as a benefit of such immigration which took place a while back?

"What I meant is that I think he's wrong, in particular the assumption about non-nerds and their intelligence."

Totally agree here. Remember the title is "Why Nerds Are Unpopular" and patronising, condescending is an apt description if you look at it from point of view. If you studied the brain of a nerd as described in this article, I'd characterise the nerd brain in the following way. A brain is high in acetylcholine (high level of focused learning), lower in serotonin (lower level of socialisation and dominance) and possibly higher levels of dopamine (reward learning system) for learning abstract things as opposed to a stylised non-nerd.

If you look at this neural level, I'd imagine nerd brains are highly geared to chasing focused learning of technical subjects at the expense of people.
This! Also, probably connected to bad posture, specially when sitting in front of a computer.

My posture when using the computer is terrible and usually when I'm distracted, I slouch and kinda slide down on the chair, that makes my back arch forward and compresses my stomach. Since I'm distracted reading or gaming or something I just notice it when I already start feeling my heart on my chest, or slight discomfort or shortness of breath.

I have health related anxiety and this has caused me lots of stress in the past (bad posture making me overly mind how heavy it is to breathe, or starting to feel my heart beat on my stomach out of nowhere and get stressed out etc). I've been focusing on sitting better when in front of the PC and correcting myself early when I slide down and the issue has gone away so quickly and in such a way that it even feels ridiculous to have been so stressed out about it. I truly believe our best friend and also our worst enemy is the self, so we need to get our feelings in control, and that means good breathing... and that can require you to better your posture :)

The timing of this post was very good because I tried doing the breathing exercise 5 mins ago and while I didn't had shortness of breath like the poster above us, it wasn't calming to me either... I then corrected my posture, redid the exercise and yes, it did relax me quite a bit :)

Good posture, mates!
> Yet most of the 9/11 attackers came from Saudi Arabia. Why is it not on this list?

Regarding those attacks, Al Qaeda deliberately sourced the majority of the attackers from Saudi Arabia because the strategy at the time was to drive a wedge between that country and the USA.

The response to that tactic was quite clever, between April and August 2003 the USA moved its based military forces from Saudia Arabia to Bahrain. On the face of it this seemed to meet one of Al Qaeda's primary demands and seemed to validate their choice of attackers' nationality, but it actually served the Saudi Royals very well in that it pulled the rug from under those in their country who were leaning towards Al Qaeda's message of 'occupation'.

The USA and KSA still have very cordial relations so there's no realy surprise as to why it's not on the list.
What a shitty system
Rio has a reputation as being one of the most violent places in the world. So I guess it'd be hard to stand out against that.

I think Paris is much safer than Chicago:
https://www.numbeo.com/crime/compare_cities.jsp?country1=Uni...

France overall has a murder rate of 1 per 100K. Paris I believe is slightly above average. Chicago is something like 15.

I wouldn't necessarily consider Paris to be some sort of golden standard either. You should aim for much better.

If you feel that having an x15 murder rate isn't "standing out" and it's just that you've got some bad neighborhoods than IMHO you're deluding yourself.

EDIT: And assuming the murders are not evenly spread out but rather focus in the "bad" neighborhoods is support for the polarization argument. We can look at some stats but I'm pretty sure they would support my notion that the bad neighborhoods in US cities are much worse than the bad neighborhoods in safe cities worldwide. Try comparing violent crime statistics of major US cities to major European cities over 50 or 100 years. This didn't start yesterday.

EDIT2: Don't take all this to mean I support Trump's rhetoric or actions on this topic. I do not. But I do think Americans need to do some introspection here
> If you don't need specialised tools, I personally think a tablet is much nicer than a laptop.

That's an interesting perspective. I've always thought of phones and tablets as being mostly collections of tools that are either specialized or focused on remote access. Almost everything that I do on my touchscreen devices relies on network access, to some degree or another.

That's all well and good if you're an anarchist, but not everyone who objects to Trump also objects to the existence of the state, per se.

> "a social media company with no experience in the browser technology space"

Yeah, this article is sub-par HN submission.
Canadians and Mexicans get a special visa through nafta. No quotas.
Actually I missed one: selfish. There are probably quite a fair number of Trump voters who are not any of the other things I listed, but were voting for lower taxes/regulation; and dismissed all of his other policy promises including some kind of Muslim ban.

On the plus side, many ill conceived or implemented policies last week were walked back. So it's not like the administration is completely intractable in the face of outcry.
Well... kinda. I'd say this is the result of a mismatch between "refresh everything, anything could have changed" and what most people actually want when refreshing, which is "check for new content".

"cache-control: immutable" at least lets servers declare a contract that pushes those two closer towards each other, and it also works perfectly for those cache-busting resource-version-params, which browsers haven't been able to trust. Which is probably why Chrome had that POST-invalidation thing - there are a lot of flawed cache headers out there, and users don't care that you're following the spec when things break.
He didn't seem to worry about his investments in Saudi Arabia when he made his ignorant comments about Muslims during his campaign.

> Parent comment also is only referring to low-wage jobs so I suppose the entire H1B thing is irrelevant to the discussion.

I'm not the one who mentioned H1B. I mentioned "legal immigrants".

> Is immigration uncontrolled? Yes immigration is not 100% controlled, hence illegal immigrants are a thing.

I could say the other way too. Immigration is not 100% uncontrolled, so it is controlled. However, what we do have is controlled immigration to a large degree and there are some uncontrolled immigration too. The ratio of controlled to uncontrolled is very high. So, I can not see how one can make the claim that immigration is uncontrolled to being with.

> Not sure what you're looking for... you asked for a source - seems clear that yes, wages for some groups are "artificially suppressed" by "uncontrolled immigration".

There is nothing to say that immigration is uncontrolled. Further, there is nothing to say that legal immigration suppresses (not lowers down) wages "artificially". The words used in the parent comment "uncontrolled", "artificially" and "suppress" have specific meanings which replaced by "illegal", "supply-demand" and "lowers down" change the impression of that statement.

In which case, I hope no-one but the bank is liable for the cost of the fraud.
If (and that is a potentially big if) Trump continues the Obama admin plan of responding to all petitions that have >100K signatures, it will be interesting to see what the response to 'hey you should let this young female student who was already here back in, since she poses no danger to the US'.
ok maybe but where does a iraqi have to go for the funeral of their mother...
Another way to look at it is the problem that many people rely on the news to tell them when something bad is happening.

That is really true. The media doesn't report news, it interprets news for you as well.

Whenever I see an outrageous headline I always think "That sounds like BS. There is probably a pretty good reason for this happening."

A great example was the man who found a line on his hospital bill for "holding his baby". The outrage!! Those greedy hospitals!

Turns out that the hospital needed to have nurse in the room and that's just how they bill for that time. Completely innocuous and reasonable. But did the media dig that up? Of course not. No one would click on an article that said "Hospital bills man for nursing services."
Yeah, I wonder. Is the President allowed to send troops to protect his personal property or investments?

Yeah, but without externs this breaks on advanced compilation, right? So, while using webpack to bundle npm deps is a good idea (that might also get unnecessary in the future with things like node module resolution landing in cljs compiler), you still need externs for the functions you're going to call from your cljs code. Luckily the latest cljs compiler will help you get those right.
I thought this was possible... that explains my frustration with "why won't the damn thing not revalidate" when I last tried it (I think that was a few years ago by now).

Weird though, it seems so obvious and I thought something like no-revalidate existed. I guess I'm confusing no-cache and must-revalidate.

> It amazes me there are not more deaths due to this, to be honest.

Intersections are the most frequent place for cyclist/driver collisions, and "right hooks" (where a driver fails to merge or yield and turns right into a cyclist trying to continue straight through an intersection) are the most common kind of intersection collision, so your instinct is spot on. Your perception that there aren't that many fatalities is probably partly because traffic deaths don't get reported on much, and partly because collisions involving turns tend to take place at relatively low speed, so fewer of these collisions are fatal than might be the case under other collision circumstances, as speed of the car is by far the strongest predictor of death in a cyclist/driver collision.

Read the headline. "Trump promises". Christians from those countries are currently banned from entering the US. In fact, all citizens of those countries are banned, regardless of their religion (unless they have a US passport).
Guys you just don't know how much bathing-in-lard rich and powerful countries went from what they were into world's """" in the blink of an eye. All because rich, talented, endowed do not accept, do not admit that if they don't do something all what was dear to them will be no more tomorrow.

Once the establishment recognizes that the only way for them to not to be hold accountable for a crime is to hold to the power at all cost, there is no return.

Putine and former KGB schmucks usurp the power because the alternative to that is to get a one way ticket to Hague.

Islam Karimov - the Uzbek dictator will do everything to extend his reign just for one more second, as he has nowhere to go if he gets deposed. An alternative to ruling the country until he dies for him is to end up like Gaddafi.

Bibi Netanyahu - also sticks to power at the cost of his dignity and the dignity of his nation. He will refer to whatever political maneuvering and extreme populism as the alternative to that is jail.

Sisi of Egypt - for him, loss of power will mean to join his predecessor in a court room. He is willing to execute 500+ people with firing squads and on gallows, just to curtail any chance of the situation slipping out of his hands.

Whe whole bureaucratic apparatus and nomenkulatura of Chinese Communist Party - I have never seen people whose existence, whose life process can be described so wholely by the word "parasitism". Life of extreme privelege from birth just for knowing ten or so lines of Marxist texts and having a right daddy. Their kids don't even know names of car brands cheaper than Ferrari. Loss of even tiniest amount of political authority for them, means that their appetites for high life will be reduced to sane levels and that means by 100 times or so. Of course they are willing to kill to prevent that.

African dictators - same story, but squared and cubed.

For a Tyrant - political power is like heroin. Addiction from first dose. The only alternative to waiting till such guys dies of age, or waiting for the country to become so ###* up that the dictator cant pay his bodyguards is to take proactive actions and stop him before he solidifies his power. The only way to stop such person is to kill. This is historically proven.
It's like when you handed in a math problem and you got the right answer but didn't show your work. Reinforcing that behavior is troubling because yes, we want good, but we want consistent and explainable good that is auditable by society.

I live in Virginia. Both of my senators are Democrats, as is my representative. One of them (Mark Warner) has released a statement condemning the executive order, while Tim Kaine and Don Beyer are not. I left voice mail for the latter and wrote an email to the former, as AFAICT he doesn't take phone messages over the weekend.

Trump signed this on Friday because the response against it will be slower. Sure, a public statement by Democrats won't stop this, but it won't hurt and what the hell else are they doing? I work on the weekends, and they can too when core American values are under assault.

And of course, giving or raising money for other organizations is a great thing to do as well.

What is the process to obtain these waivers? How long does it take? Does anyone know the answers to these questions? There's nothing clearly posted on DHS.gov.

I was able to find this, from an unnamed "senior administration official" [0]:

> Green card holders in the U.S. will have to meet with a consular officer before departing the country, the official said.

That's a fairly large inconvenience, especially for those not living in a city with a consular office. And it doesn't address the situation of green card holders who are currently abroad and need waivers. Presumedly they could visit a US embassy or consular office in their country, but that's going to be difficult for someone in, say, Iran.

For professional turn-key work in the US, I've found Advanced Assembly (http://aa-pcbassembly.com/) to be absolutely fantastic.

The unfortunate fact is no-one who matters cares about this.

Who matters? Not the US public: von Clownstick & co know it will be forgetten in a month or three, and by the next election (if there is another election) enough red meat can be thrown to the know-nothing base to "win" again.

Who matters: other wealthy nation governments. That's it. And none of them, however loudly they profess civilised values, will risk a hair on their precious bankers' heads to protect distant low-status nonwhite humans. That's a plain fact.

We all know what ought to happen: civilised nations should band together and just say no to America. An escalating series of sanctions, starting with trade, going via targeted military cooperation downgrades, and ending with cancelling all visas to US citizens. Some nations have strong leverage over America, eg. Australia threatening access to Pine Gap would make the US tremble.

None of this can or will happen, and we will plunge into the abyss. WWI and II were prequels. RIP homo sapiens. You will be little missed by our once-glorious planet's other sentient beings.
