CNN is reporting that the
White House over ruled the DHS when it came to green cards.

>Friday night, DHS arrived at the legal interpretation that the executive order restrictions applying to seven countries -- Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Sudan and Yemen -- did not apply to people who with lawful permanent residence, generally referred to as green card holders.
The White House overruled that guidance overnight, according to officials familiar with the rollout. That order came from the President's inner circle, led by Stephen Miller and Steve Bannon. Their decision held that, on a case by case basis, DHS could allow green card holders to enter the US.
Of course GP and their family are affected. They are having to map out an entire alternate plan for their lives, and beyond just many hours spent worrying they may have already taken concrete steps toward preparing for the worst.

Also, the ACLU's complaint is that permanent residence holders are being denied due process by being kicked out of the country without legal recourse, so it is not purely by the policy. See Judge Donelly's Stay Order: https://twitter.com/joshleitzel/status/825529124986900480/ph...
I realized I wasn't clear on that after the fact. I should have said defined functions. In my head I tend to think of defined functions and lambda functions as different.
> people who have a computer and somehow every now and then manage to interact with it to get some tiny set of tasks done

Cars can do far more than what the vast majority of drivers use it for (getting from point A to point B safely and within the law). But we don't complain that not everyone is capable of stunt driving.

Plus, you're ignoring the fact that even the best software engineer can only use a computer for a small fraction of what it's capable, since there is specialized software in every field.

A violin-maker and a violinist are two very different sets of skills, and I'd argue IT specialists are closer to the former.

What if the forum had both sides of each argument in parallel? You could contribute to your side and the opposition to their side and the most popular of each side is pushed to the top in a massive split screen?
I was at a law enforcement armorer class with some police officers from various agencies in the Northeast recently.

The most impactful thing I heard "People who get narcanned multiple times should just be killed" -- maybe not his literal belief, but the problem seems to be out of control. He had stories of "frequent customers" who kept coming to hospitals/police stations/fire departments to shoot up in the bathrooms, knowing they'd get narcaned if they OD'd.

As a King County resident, though, I want this facility nowhere near me. As long as it stays in Seattle or near SeaTac, I'm ok with it. Yes, this is NIMBYism.

I remember reading a long walk technique from middle east, where they would hold their breath a few seconds on each cycle. Supposed to augment your range significantly.

I also found out while trying to hold my breath above 2 minutes, that slowly swinging my shoulders to massage my lungs would delay the feeling of syncopation. Maybe, mayyyybe, because it would help enforce more gaz movement thus exchange.

Please point out the vast protests that occurred in the US over the Syrian bombings. Surely that drew extremely large marches. Or perhaps link me to the Huffington Post's Syrian death counter that tracked how many people Obama's war on Syria killed.
The portion of the article regarding The Innovators Dilemma is very important. It's easy to get so focused on the enthusiastic users that you forget about everyone else. Balancing between those two concerns is hard, and it's even harder to have to tell your enthusiastic users that you're not giving them what they want immediately.

The issue I think is people want an answer. Obamacare - good or bad? Hardly anyone is willing to accept the answer that it may mean different stuff for different people and approach such discussions with this nuance.

One probably needs to ask the question. What is the intent of such a platform? Popularity or creating a balanced, mature repository of arguments on a particular topic. The first shouldn't be too difficult, the second would be the holy grail.
Is this like saying something like "if enough people self-sacrifice by donating to support public goods, it can be stable enough and we all get public goods, even if others freeride"? In other words, a critical mass of cooperators can keep going and support one another even if they are suffering from the effect of defectors who all still have incentive to keep defecting. Right?

Do you have a link showing where, "they took over the party"? My understanding is that the Tea Party is a minority faction within the GOP.
Since you're asking the open source software, these are my recommendations:

1. Draw.io [1] for general charts. Someone has already mentioned it. It's open source software. Draw.io supports flow charts and other diagram types. One thing that I love about Draw.io is compatibility. You can import and export the XML file that contains your diagram. So, I don't need to worry what platform I use. The final diagrams can be exported to SVG and images too.

2. UMLet [2] or StarUML [3] for UML diagrams. I have no experience with UMLet. I recommend this because it's open source UML tool and actively developed (they need contributors [4]). I know open source UML tools are not as good as paid tools, like Visual Paradigm and Enterprise Architect. Alternatively, you can use StarUML (not open source). It's free although you have to buy a license for continued use.

It's great to see someone with this much influence joining the masses to protest these injustices. I understand these companies have shareholders and tend to avoid politically charged topics, but in this case, it affects not only Google's employees but people all over the country.
I've used VirtualBox plus Vagrant while experimenting with how to set up web servers, DBs and the like.

But it sounds like his readers are assumed to be starting from scratch and doing things manually. If so, then while developing the docs I might choose to just use VirtualBox by itself, and snapshot just after installation, and just after each significant addition. It's pretty easy to start over at a snapshot, and it's one less moving part without Vagrant.
Yes, exactly. Rockefeller constructed a mental framework for himself, by which he could rationalize away just about any action.

It seems to me that the hotel should take at least part of the blame here.

According to the article this was not the first attempt to breach their security, yet they didn't put sane security practices in place, such as separating door lock controls from their internet connected network or not having door locks that can lock guests in in the first place, which, as pointed out in other comments, is likely not compliant with regulations.

> The manager said it was cheaper and faster for the hotel to just pay the Bitcoin.

Cheaper for him, but the cost will be beared by society as he has now encouraged the practice.

I understand that my comment can be seen as victim-blaming, but it seems to me that part of the service sold by an hotel is the security they procure to their guests.
No, we're talking about being to maintain things.

If you can use your computer but don't know how to fix things when they break, then you pay someone to fix it for you. That's what this article is complaining about: people who don't know how to fix issues with their computer, or don't use it in the most 'optimal' way.
The best option is to give a friend you trust cash. They, in turn can donate by proxy and that is basically how Citizens United works so it should be safe enough.

Thanks, I hope to find some time to read through this. Cheers.
Thank you, guys. You prompted me to learn a bit about the protocol. I want to share what I learned after skimming over the RFC.

A typical session looks like:

$ telnet ftp.kernel.org 21
Trying 149.20.4.69...
Connected to ftp.all.kernel.org.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 Welcome to kernel.org
USER anonymous
331 Please specify the password.
PASS
230 Login successful.
PASV
227 Entering Passive Mode (149,20,4,69,119,142).

Then I was baffled. What does 149,20,4,69,119,142 mean? Okay, 149,20,4,69 looks like an IP address for ftp.kernel.org. But what do they want me to do with 119,142? Turns out it's a port number divided into two octets. Basically they are asking me to connect to port 119 * 256 + 142 = 30606.

So, on the second terminal I run:

$ telnet 149.20.4.69 30606
Trying 149.20.4.69...
Connected to 149.20.4.69.
Escape character is '^]'.

Back to the first one:

LIST
150 Here comes the directory listing.
226 Directory send OK.

And I get the listing I requested, on the second terminal:

drwxr-xr-x 9 ftp ftp 4096 Dec 01 2011 pub
Connection closed by foreign host.
$

Instead of using PASV, you can request the FTP server to connect back to you, with PORT. First, you need to start listening on your WAN interface (if you have one; if you don't, you are out of luck) with `nc -l your.ip.goes.here 2560`. Then, request the server to connect by typing `PORT your,ip,goes,here,10,0` (NB: use commas, not dots). Of course, don't forget to replace your.ip.goes.here with your real WAN IP address.

Cheers.

Is it because they were politically opportunistic, or because their leaks went against the media's politics?

Without question Assange was against HRC and Obama. The latter kept him as a political prisoner for 6 years despite UN rulings, "War on Whistleblowers", etc., and the former had already made an appearance in Cablegate and no doubt was not going to let him walk free either.

Even if there is a (legitimate) political motivation, facts and misdeeds are facts and misdeeds, and leakers should be protected regardless.
Thanks for the responses, these are really helpful.
Needing to eliminate CO is an old, well-solved problem. Even the cheapest catalytic converter would do so.

(It's not quite as simple as just putting one in-line with the waste gas flow- the catalyst would also need to be externally heated.)
The point is extremely obvious. The left waited until Trump to protest things that Obama had either already done, or has helped to make possible. It's the exact same thing they did in turning a blind eye to Clinton's various abuses, but the instant Bush was President, they rediscovered civil liberties. Partisan hypocrisy, leading to dangerous increases in executive power, handed down to future Presidents whose behavior you can't predict.

The left was very quiet while Obama was violating the civil liberties of hundreds of millions of people by massively increasing the scale of spying, not to mention using his DOJ to constantly fend off challenges to such rights abuses.

The left was very quiet as Obama prosecuted the most aggressive campaign against freedom of the press in US history.

The left was very quiet as Obama murdered tens of thousands of civilians in Syria with his bombing campaign, not to mention arming terrorists within Syria to help escalate the destruction on the ground.

Obama supports the Secure Fence Act or a refugee ban, the left remains very quiet.

Trump becomes President. The left widely rediscovers civil liberties again. Waiting until that point, means you waited too long.
Legal DOS?
I only skimmed the article, but I'm pretty sure that tit-for-tat as a strategy is not the relevant point. The point is that there are people whose strategy is always-cooperate, and enough of those players in a group results in a situation that will stabilize to having a decent amount of real cooperation. Tit-for-tat might have some similar results but probably would need a greater number of tit-for-tat players for stability versus the critical mass of always-cooperate players needed for stability (my speculation).

Outsourcing factory work is relatively simple: if you have, or can cheaply train, reasonably qualified workers at a remote location, you can build / upgrade a factory, ship raw materials in, ship the product out. This applies well to things like garments or electronics, much less well to e.g. fruit and vegetables that are perishable.

Outsourcing medial work is theoretically about as simple, but for a few buts. Much of medical work, from nurses' to surgeons' to dentists', is highly local and real-time. Tele-surgerly is possible, though, and probably talking to a patient can be done entirely remotely. But this supposes that a patient and a doctor speak a common language well, which in many cases is tricky (and factory workers don't need this).

Outsourcing lawyer work requires, besides a common language, a deep understanding of foreign law codes and a good understanding of foreign daily life and practices. This is, of course, attainable for a determined remote lawyer, but I don't see why it may happen to be cheaper than attaining the same level of education and experience for a local. As of cost of living, places like upstate Nebraska are quite inexpensive! Showing up in court is harder for a remote attorney, but probably tele-presence could help somehow.

I suppose that importing doctors and lawyers would not help lower the costs much. Doctors in the US are expensive not (only) because clueful, experienced people are rare, but because the supply is (or was) limited.
Will try. Thanks
I was not good at feeding my good old cat, so I had to give her insulin injections for a while. Much later, I found the used and unused syringes in a bottom cabinet where I put them after she died. I used to work in a hospital and know you need to dispose of this stuff properly. I brought them back to the neighborhood Walgreens where I'd purchased them. The people in the pharmacy were just like "yeah right, your cat", and pretty much treated me like I was a junkie.

Then again, this is San Francisco, and there are a lot of junkies, and Walgreens people have probably heard it all. But at ground-zero here, I'd guess not too many people are buying supplies at Walgreens.
After close to a decade of loudly or silently supporting Obomba's wars, the jailing of whistleblowers, the unconstitutional surveillance and other crimes, American socialists are discovering the long lost art of civil disobedience...

Their only objection to injustice is they con't like to be on the receiving end. Pathetic!
If it was a progressive build up I really doubt the cats would have died the same day as the two humans. It feels like a sudden occurrence. And like the top comment said: even the CO poisoning is not confirmed yet.

That smells of an easy sensationalist headline there.

Is the local.at a reliable source ? Seems like the only article talking about the incident in german is from the german version of Russia Today [0]. It doesn't make sense that an austrian hotel choose this media to communicate.

For me it's :

A - It's the hacker that contacted RT with the story

B - It's part of a fearmongering campaign to ransom hotels

C - It's fake news written by an intern

Prisons should have backup power supplies, not electronic locks which fail closed. If there's a fire or flood, better that prisoners are released than trapped in their cells to burn or drown; they were sentenced to imprisonment, not to death.

Abstractions and libraries are surely not the problem. The higher the abstraction the more opportunity for high level optimizations. And they always trump low level optimizations.

The problems are that people dont know how to optimize things or are blocked by imposed architecture.
They were very smart to make it that low. At that cost, it becomes a simple no-brainer for the hotel, because it's cheaper than even just one booking refund. It also means it's very low priority for law enforcement.
Not much new here.

The premise isn't that the partisan left that intentionally ignored Obama's abuses should just shut up, but rather that it's very likely already too late.

Roll back Obama's 10x increase in NSA spying capabilities? Not a chance. The Republicans have the house, senate, supreme court, executive branch, and most of the states. The left should have been loudly protesting their own President's rights violations, that was the only shot they had. This was all very predictable, inevitably a dangerous person will come into the Presidency, that's why you don't allow someone like Obama (or anyone) to push through such extraordinarily dangerous policies if you can help it.

The protesting over things like the wall or this temporary ban on people coming into the US from seven nations, is a sideshow to the abuses Obama and Bush's espionage efforts will make possible in the next decade. Nothing can be done about that now, Trump isn't going to care about liberal protests against spying programs.

The point is, the next time you get a liberal President in office, protest like crazy, encourage them to not violate civil liberties; rather, encourage them to protect them aggressively. Protesting Obama might have worked, protesting Trump is going to be mostly ineffectual.
I should have mentioned that was mostly a thought experiment. Would I want them to do that, no. But I was wondering how many would want to do it? Maybe there are some rogue employees who wouldn't mind crashing an burning the system to "protest".

However, now that I think about it, this type of censorship has already happened. A while back on Reddit, the CEO himself modified a comment from a user from a Trump supporter. As in directly went into the database backend and switched the text blob there.

I didn't follow what happened afterwards, don't think he was punished or fired or anything. Maybe someone else knows. Anyway just as I was saying it was theoretical what-if. I remembered that case. It is scary in way also because posts on the social sites could be used in a court cases as evidence. Makes one think...

> You have until then to convince his supports that he is not the answer they were looking for. You also have to have a credible alternative who they can get behind.

Good point. I think without self-analysis and reflection more than name-calling and blaming, we'll just have Trump for 8 years. And then another Trump and so on. If name calling and public smearing had worked, he wouldn't have even got off ground in the Republican primaries. Throwing more labels at Trump supporters over Twitter and Facebook will surely not be a winning strategy, because otherwise he would have been back in his tower by now, licking his wounds in defeat.

Another way of looking at him is as a symptom. Something was already happening in this country planted probably a decade ago, that lead the the conditions of him winning.
