Oh I do see the idiocy on the left, plenty of it, I've never been a fan of identity politics and forced political correctness.

You're the one who started by saying:
"I only see this kind of behavior coming from the left."

Which has now evolved into:
"I rarely see the same tactics used on the right."

So I guess I made some progress, as a progressive that made my day.
Thank you and goodnight.
“I think a lot of the voters who vote for Trump take Trump seriously but not literally. And so when they hear things like the Muslim comment or the wall comment or things like that, the question is not ‘Are you going to build a wall like the Great Wall of China?’ or, you know, ‘How exactly are you going to enforce these tests?’ What they hear is ‘We’re going to have a saner, more sensible immigration policy.’"

-Peter Thiel, 2016

I guess to Thiel, a saner, more sensible immigration policy involves invoking 9/11 to ban people from 7 countries not involved in that attack from the U.S, including permanent residents on a legal path to citizenship and holders of valid visas. All done with zero warning via executive order and without conferring with DHS or DOJ.

Trump's Recent Actions: A Trial Balloon for a Coup?
Lawyers do not decide whether a law is lawful. (Specific types of) judges do. There is a long, well-established process to this. Lawyers obviously already know that. This is a publicity stunt intended to raise her profile and nothing more.

She is claiming that there are potential legal conflicts without being specific because she knows that her only defense is to claim that she is bound to disregard the order by a higher law. Like a lot of things lawyers say, it's just enough to give her a shade of grey sufficient for plausible deniability. Without such a claim, there'd be no question that she had failed to fill her obligations as an officer of the law, because as we've already established, it's not the AG's position to determine the validity of the laws. We elect legislators and install judges to perform those functions.

The AG's duty is to fairly enforce the laws without allowing their personal inclinations to supersede the will of the people expressed through the republican-democratic processes under which we are governed. Executive orders, including executive orders that address immigration, have long since been established as lawful.

If Ms. Yates sees a blatant constitutional violation in President Trump's order, the correct thing to do would be to resign and immediately work to assist challenges to the law via the long-established processes that permit that. As a high-ranking official in the DoJ, she would surely have the knowledge and connections to do this expeditiously.

Would Democrats have been pleased with Loretta Lynch if she refused to do her part to uphold Obama's EO's regarding immigration enforcement? Something tells me they wouldn't.

This is all a consequence of bad messaging on Uber's part here; they're not in the wrong.

Uber's Surge system is all automatic--if demand goes way up, and supply doesn't follow suit, prices will increase in the app. Unfortunately, demand goes way up during catastrophes like terror attacks, so Uber has had a few bad instances where, in the wake of a crisis, surge goes up, simply because of the way the system is set up.

People who don't know about how Surge works might assume that Uber is deliberately raising prices in these crisis zones to gouge people in peril, which obviously isn't the case. To address cases like this, Uber put into place a surge shutoff system so that people in these positions aren't charged extra.

What happened here was that Uber, in the interest of avoiding another PR disaster, turned off surge to allow protesters (identifying with a cause which their CEO has openly supported) to get to the venue without extra charge. This backfired because that wasn't made clear in their announcement, and they instead came off as strike busters because the NYC taxi firms stupidly chose to express solidarity by shutting down the ability of protesters (not to mention uninvolved travelers) to get to and from the airport via their services.

I don't envy Uber--they're in a damned-if-they-do-damned-if-they-don't position. It's maddening to see the #deleteUber hashtag get this much traction, especially given that Lyft also continued to operate during the strike, but c'est la vie.
Arguably not the first time, if you count Nixon firing his Attorney General and then Deputy Attorney General because they wouldn't fire the Watergate prosecutor.

They were concentration camps, plain and simple. And yes it was FDR. I really like the New Deal but Executive Order 9066 is a big stain on his record.
It's not so much proof of racism as it is proof that this executive order isn't actually about keeping America safe.
This is not true. The NYT article has been fixed.
I'm corresponding with a Google engineer regarding a bug we're having in a paid product. I happened to see him in a photo at this thing. I kinda wish that he was working on that bug instead.
Oh, sure. I miss SAL terribly. The consensus outside Microsoft seems to be that we need annotation-less static analysis because developers will never add annotations --- annotation-less static analysis, IME, has a much higher false positive rate than prefast. Windows is proof that extremely robust static analysis works.

Back when I was in Windows, the system was so robust that if the static analyzer reported on your code, it was your code that had the problem, not the analyzer. It did bounds checking, nullability analysis, and tons of useful stuff. It's fantastic.

The thing about NT-style pointer typedefs is that they discourage const-correctness: it's enough of a pain to make a PFOO. You want a PCFOO too? That said, I'd be more than happy to live with poiner typedefs if I got SAL back.

BTW, I also used a hacked-up cc-mode that understood all the SAL annotations and fontified them using font-lock-keyword-face. It worked great.
Steve Jobs was the son of Syrian immigrants... Iraq has a tradition of scholarship similar to that of Iran. And while it has obviously been decimated by the reign of Saddam and three devastating wars, I'm sure the spirit of it can survive one or two generations by being passed down in families. The jewish population in Europe, most of whom emigrated in 1944-1950, had also lived through 20 years of radically diminished access to education, and had to start anew from basically nothing. But their children went on to become the most productive scientific community in the history of mankind.
Electric cars are notoriously unreliable because there are just that many things that can go wrong. For example, a battery pack on average will monitor about 400 temperatures and perhaps 200 voltages. Its inherent design means that it undergoes many thermal cycles, has thousands of fasteners and up to a hundred switching circuity components inside various isolated power supplies. The deviation of any parameter from normal requires an immediate shutoff at risk of a lithium fire that cannot be extinguished.

You could not even imagine the amount of engineering that goes into making sure the fasteners are positive locked in a redundant manner, whilst preloaded against temperature change, without breaking isolation.

Yet, a Tesla is, in general, relatively reliable. Maximum props to them on a job well done.

Interesting project, but it hardly qualifies as "a pretty decent open source alternative" considering it targets a single family of FPGAs from a vendor with comparatively insignificant market share.

P.S. The only dabblings I've had with Lattice devices was designing a custom tool to configure legacy (pre-JTAG) ispLSI family of CPLDs using our tech, not theirs. Goal was to eliminate their obsolete tool chain (ispLever Classic and piece of shit USB dongle) from the configuration management loop for existing stable applications in longterm lifecycle sustain mode.
A corporation that deserves "jail time" should equate to bankruptcy. Simple as that. The fact that these companies get fined for < 1% of their total yearly profit is a joke. If you would send the person to jail, the company should be dead. $50 Million revenue? $50 Million fine. $2 Billion revenue? $2 Billion fine. Even if nobody goes to prison, the company should receive the death sentence - not a slap on the wrist. It should be that simple.
"I'm too elite to use cron and bash scripts. If it doesn't require npm to install and an AWS account, I don't bother."

Seriously, it takes all of 10 minutes of reading the cron and related man pages to figure this out. (and your Lambda code needed the exact same syntax for cron! )

And you already have a MongoDB server running, so it is not really any additional server config time to do it.
The problem is the prices are artificially low, and if Uber suddenly pulled out the subsidies on rides there's no guarantee ridership wouldn't drop significantly (especially in markets where Uber and taxis are still in fierce competition).

(And by artificially low, I mean rides are being sold where the driver is paid more than the passenger paid, with VC money covering the rest)

Please, take two seconds to read the statement. There's third graders who literally have a better grasp of the English language than Trump.
Of course there's such a thing as private trade. The very fact that the government needs to require people to surrender their privacy rights and disclose all transactions and sources of income for an income tax to be enforceable proves the trade the income tax taxes is private.

It is carried out between private parties in their private capacity. By every definition it's private trade. Common sense should tell you that too. No one has a right to 1) force people to give up their privacy and divulge details about the private interaction and 2) throw people in prison if they refuse to disclose this private information or if they refuse to hand over a share of the currency they are given in this private interaction. You believe in a world where people have no rights, especially if they engage in some private action that involves money changing hands (God forbid!). Typical socialist authoritarianism that rationalises imprisoning people by convincing himself ' there is no such thing as "private trade"'.
Dan Primack summarised this well; Uber failed on messaging:

"Uber has done a lot of questionable things over the years, but its actions this past weekend vis-a-vis Trump's immigration ban weren't among them. An actual timeline from Saturday, which may differ from what you saw on social media:

• 4:20pm ET: CEO Travis Kalanick sent email to employees. It stopped short of explicitly opposing the ban, but did say: (1) The company would identify and compensate affected drivers. (2) Kalanick will raise the issue of how the "ban will impact many innocent people" this Friday during the first meeting of Trump's so-called CEO Council. This email was posted a short time later to Kalanick's public Facebook page.

• 4:55pm ET: NY Taxi Workers union called for a work stoppage at JFK airport from 6pm-7pm. Uber does not suspend its own service, but also does not send out any promotions.

• 7:36pm ET: Uber NYC sends out a tweet, saying that surge pricing to and from JFK has been turned off.

The claim that Uber was trying to 'break the strike' by sending out its surge pricing tweet is belied by the timing (i.e., sent after the strike was set to end). And while it is true that Kalanick has agreed to be on Trump's CEO council, it's also true that execs from both Uber and Lyft have agreed to sit on a new automation council set up by Trump's Department of Transportation. Either a pox on both their houses, or a pox on none.”
It's funny to me how Lyft positions itself like the poor little underdog that deeply cares about humans. People are so susceptible to marketing it's crazy.

They provide the exact same service, and Lyft cloned most of uber's features once uber had achieved the unbelievable mindshift of changing people's behavior.

Whatever people think, in a few years if Lyft is popular enough, guess what: they too will become the "big evil capitalistic entreprise" and some new venture backed company will send a christmas email to their users telling them they love them and should all dance together on the beach.
The destruction of Google's, Apple's or Amazon's systems would obviously "have a debilitating impact on national economic security". All of them are also contractors of the Federal Government.
Ah! Thanks... things moved so quickly today. Mid afternoon I read she was the only approved signatory. You are indeed correct about the revision.
If you're using a Charge HR, I'd suggest checking out the newer generation of devices. The Charge 2 and Alta are way better designs. The entire category of problem you're experiencing will not exist in those.

I like splitting the day up on a couple of venues. Like, a few hours at home, followed by some time in the office, and maybe a coffe shop? That makes the day go super fast!
Hierarchical leadership doesn't work like that with attorneys. If Yates couldn't come up with a good faith argument for the legality of the order, she wasn't allowed to go into court and defend it, regardless of what her boss said. She could have countermanded the order and accepted the consequences (which she did), or she could have resigned.

Whether the order rises to that level I'm not sure. I think there are definitely some instances in how the order was applied that wouldn't have been defensible if pursued further. For example, I haven't heard a single cogent argument that it's legal to exclude permanent residents without individualized process.
From an opinion piece in 2012 — http://www.nytimes.com/2012/05/26/opinion/they-are-taxis-not... — drivers made around $113/12 hour shift after paying the rental fee (also $113). There was a related news article around the same time (this was in discussion of a fare hike) but I can't find it.

Typically drivers who rent a taxi rent by the shift and must pay their rental fee upfront. There are ghost fleets of taxis queued up at garages in Brooklyn and Queens since so many drivers have dumped medallion cabs for driving for Uber/Lyft/etc.
The FAQ[1] says:

> Smart Sync is available in early access for Dropbox Business users. It is not yet available for individual accounts.

Maybe they are rolling it out to Business customers first because they think they can provide better support to them?

I've had Smart Sync (Infinite) on my personal Dropbox account for a long time. It is awesome. When I recently added Dropbox to a new computer it started with all the files "in the cloud". It was so nice to have all my files available in the Finder and from command line, but not have to sync my whole Dropbox.

To be fair, either Uber copied the idea of ride sharing from lyft or both copied it from sidecar. Uber wasn't the first.
I imagine if this was discovered in, say, Argentina, then there'd be a good chance of some Argentinian scientist participating in the discovery.

"Hitler has said to them "I offer you struggle, danger and death" and as a result a whole nation flings itself at his feet."
Neither company has any stickiness with me. By that I mean, I can switch between them willy nilly with no real affect on my life. I like to tip when my work picks up the bill, so I most often use Lyft... If either of them offered a rewards program (like frequent flyer miles) I would probably use that one exclusively. I have no idea why neither has implemented that yet.
I don't think the pricing is the extent of people's concerns, or even the majority.

I'm not a fan of Kalanick, personally, but I was prepared to have been wrong about him when I saw his Facebook post about taking care of the drivers who were stranded by this idiocy.

Then, I saw they were taking fares to JFK during the taxi strike — effectively breaking it. To my eyes, and those of many others, that is an ugly repudiation of the gesture.

It was one hour. Having someone on the president's Business Council thing take a public stand like that in solidarity with the very industry he's trying to destroy would have sent a powerful message, and pretty cheaply.

More to the point, turning off surge pricing hours after the strike — that was announced to last one hour — was over is moot.
Did any of the three of them dash off a quick little EO with no warning or legal counsel?

And it's not insubordination to refuse to do something that you, the head lawyer for an entire nation, find to be illegal. It's doing your damn job.

It's plain to see who's abusing the program thanks to the mandatory transparency. http://h1bdata.info look at Google & Microsoft - can you really hire software engineers in New York and San Francisco for 90-130k?

The average might be approaching low-market thanks to one or two high paid spots but the median is way, way low. Shady low.

On the other hand Facebook in Menlo Park, CA - these salaries look appropriate for the area and the spread is reasonable.
I wasn't dismissing the criticisms; in fact I tried to disclaim that. My point was that notwithstanding the valid criticisms, they appear to be producing cars that in my mind would appeal to consumers so it doesn't surprise me if they were seeing significant sales. Whether they're capable of doing so precisely because they violate those rules is beyond my knowledge.

For the record, I absolutely do not work for VW or indeed in the automotive industry in any way, and I neither gain nor lose any value whatsoever if they flourish or go bankrupt. To repeat: I wasn't astroturfing, I was trying to express my own personal opinion on why they may see these sales in spite of their negative press about cheating emissions controls.

I agree that I could've made that more clear in the OP though, had I not just typed it as a stream of consciousness during my lunch break. I can't edit this disclaimer into the OP or reword it, though, so it will have to remain here instead.
> Sure. It's a nuanced discussion.

Nope.

> It's not just about price. It's also about the various experience within the local talent pool.

Same thing. H1B just made them that way, with both metrics being in favor of the employer (except the vast majority of times the skillset is misrepresented).

The astroturfing by someone who has no experience with how H1B is used, is telling.
these types of events usually blow over in a month or so. but it does confirm what everyone already knows: ride hailing apps have no stickiness. at the end of the day no one cares what service provides the car.
How did Google, Amazon, and Facebook cheat, in your opinion?
Effect of Kindle Screen on Your Eyes
I think the issue people have isn't the surge pricing so much as the fact that Uber didn't participate in the strike, and thus profited from it.
> One of the things I really liked is there's really no sense of 'magic'

Absolutely! And besides making it feel much less 'magic', Mithril's simplicity also reflects on the tooling, bundle sizes, and general code complexity needed to get things going.

I did a small-to-medium-sized project using Mithril last year, and felt like the learning curve was super smooth; no hard bumps at all. The development progress felt quite steady during the project, and the bundle sizes and speed of the app were always fine; it felt very snappy.

Recently i worked on a different project with a React+Redux (+react-router, +Glamor, +Babel, +Webpack, +whatnot) stack, and i don't know if it was the project itself that required so much more complexity, or that we made the wrong decisions regarding architecture, but everything felt bloated. Bundle sizes nearing the 1MB mark; "build" times of dozens of seconds on beefy development machines; and a level of boilerplate code that reminded me of my Java EE days (but with none of the type safety... besides React's verbose PropTypes).

I can't say i feel too hot about the current trends of front-end development :/

I hope that simpler libraries like Mithril get more traction :)

I was sort of wondering why VW wasn't fined to the extent of the value of the company minus $1, or some similar scheme to effectively nationalize the company. I guess that wouldn’t accomplish much…
You are right. They don't spread, but they do crush the computer. So I came up with a general term "virus".
All true, but Kalanick has built and traded on a reputation as a 'baller ' (his words, not mine) with a combative attitude, so he has himself to blame for people jumping to conclusions.
She said that she felt the order was illegal. Should she follow orders and obey something she thinks is illegal?
Let's not fall into the trap of thinking that Trump is stupid. He may be a lot of things, but stupid people don't make it into the White House.
