Its in a weird situation where it is technically part of the DOJ, but its primary statutory duty is to carry out the orders of the judicial branch: 28 U.S.C. § 566.
How fucking easy for someone who sits comfortably at a desk in an office to say. "... those on the outside never see the things we do for our drivers". How about you accept the same pay as your drivers, working your non-driver job. Until then, you can shut your mouth, pretending like drivers are treated well.

I always wondered what's exactly the value that AirBnB is providing? Why can't a website with reviews by guests and hosts (with money handling) be run at a much smaller cost?
It is a fascinating read, although the book is a little thick. It tells the life story of one of, if not the greatest American industrialist. John D. Rockefeller built an empire in 20 years. He was self-made (although he did not grow up poor as his father was a snake-oil salesman, he had no money to start his business and had to take loans from his father, unlike Trump), self-taught (no college, no mentor in business other than his father), and devoted to religion. He donated the majority of his wealth away. He abstained from smoking, drinking, and partying for his whole life.

His business practices were highly controversial though. Lots of them were banned later for stifling competitions and innovations. For instance he used the scale of Standard oil to get exclusive rebates with railroads, which were later considered to be common carrier and should treat all customers fairly. He also signed lots of exclusive agreements with oil producers, which would starve other refiners.
Crikey - they did what?!

I recall a fascinating article / thread years ago about swappiness=0 not actually meaning what people thought it meant, and explaining why it was (generally) a bad idea. A low number, yes, but not 0.

Doing some research now, and found a blog written by someone bitten by this change back in 2014-04 -- referring to the commit that introduced this in 3.5-rc1. Not clear why the change was made, though, as a) it breaks lots of people's understanding / expectation, and b) if you want to never swap out then just forego the creation of a swap file / partition.

May I ask what's so bad with the SystemD source?
I can personally vouch for CAIR-MA, CAIR-CA, and CAIR-NY.
It is different, sure, but also similar. Given that there was 0 outrage then and now it is up to 11 something doesn't sound right. For them to care so much about immigration, I am sure they at least wrote a toned-down memo, or sent a lobbyist to have a chat with some Congress-person about it.

Also, how many CEOs have been lobbying Obama to end the foreign interference which created the suffering and refugee crisis over the years. I am guessing not too many.
That's a crazy premise.

It's equivalent to saying: Republicans control most of the food grown in America. They can just starve the cities to death.

Or: Republicans control most of the energy producing states and corporations. They can just starve the cities of energy, including natural gas, coal (30% of all US power), and oil (Texas).

Or: most of the military is Republican. They control the nukes, they can just glass all the cities. Or start striking the cities with cruise missiles and artillery fire until they capitulate.

If you think starting a civil war is a good idea, you're in for a rude awakening about the vast carnage to follow.
Because it has nothing to do with what Obama did. Any country has the right to decide who they accept on their soil or not. But only authoritarians remove that right at the stroke of a pen without due process to those who have obtained it legally and have never committed a crime.

Essentially, what the administration is saying now is that it doesn't matter if a person has a certain right granted to them in accordance to the law, this right can be removed unilaterally by the President. If you don't care about that, wait until they come for you or your family.
Maybe we should help them immigrate in a truely developed and free country, build a tech hub over there and start building up the counter-power that will take over the world's regulations in the XXIst century. I'm being sarcastic against the situation, but at one point we need to recognize the US law enforcement has been a huge failure for the last 30 years, with programs as crazy as the TSA, the no-fly list, the NSA, the Civil Asset Forfeiture, with results as crazy as 1% people in jail, a sustained failure to integrate black people (with 6% of them in jail), a ratio of 95% in jail on plea deal (which means they haven't been proven guilty), people being tagged as secual predators for life for peeing against a tree, SWAT teams using military gear to attack video game players or kill puppies.

And that's just on the law enforcement side on US soil. Let's not name drones doing executions without due trial or outright lying about WMD in Irak ar the UN.

Without denying that the remaining 90% of USA is awesome, USA being that way is not new, we've known for years that we don't know how to democratically react to that, but it's now the pace of those decisions which is accelerating.

Maybe we need to create a new ideal of where we want to go, and start drafting a type of constitution that the XXII century will aspire to: A democracy which would be resilient to terrorism and militarization of state.
Many Silicon Valley startups don't take a "cavalier SV-style approach" to testing things, either. There are a ton of medical device startups, for example.

Walking back? Now you are placing words in other people's mouths? The order is to prevent people from specified countries from travelling to the US for a set period of time.

Thse citizens of those countries have ZERO, none, less than zero standing to sue in US federal court. Any less clear?

The only people who might have standing are those already in US airports with proper visas who are being denied entry because they can show imminent harm and that is their only standing.

Boumedine v Bush is about haebaus corpus and unlawful imprisonment and has absolutely nothing to do with the executive order under discussion.
Well, you are free to be as paranoid as you like and maybe that's a good thing but no, I don't think ACLU donations are grounds for denying your naturalization application. To actually take away citizenship is even harder. You can read about the basic criteria here

http://www.alllaw.com/articles/nolo/us-immigration/grounds-d...

but please don't come back to tell me that donating to the ACLU can be interpreted as not having "demonstrated good moral character in the years leading up to application for citizenship".
I like to learn new things. Please tell me where his grandfather is from then if you don't mind. Also, just because one disagrees does not mean I [ WE] have been brainwashed by the liberal media as you stated. That is judgmental and for you to just accept the actions of one without foreseeing the consequences in the future is what I'd categorize as not thinking deeply and independently but rather in the moment.

Apart from banning people from these countries, have you thought about its effects on the U.S military people stationed in these countries trying to work and protect the United States? Or does that not matter?
Do both!

Also, Trump's order applies to green card holders. This is a major and worrying expansion beyond a refugee pause. http://mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKBN15C0R4

Also the problem isn't the "amount of power", the problem is using that power badly. And yes many wish Obama accepted even more refugees. https://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/08/25/opinion/anne-frank-tod...
This is just provably untrue. Take a look at the top stories on HN from, say, June 2013, in the wake of the Snowden leaks: http://www.daemonology.net/hn-daily/2013-06.html

A huge number of stories on the front page were about civil liberties / US politics, with titles like

- CIA Agents Were Embedded With NYPD And Had “No Limits”

- U.S. Government Surveillance: Bad for Silicon Valley, Bad for World Democracy

- U.S. bugged EU offices, computer networks

- Memories of Stasi color Germans’ view of U.S. surveillance programs

- The Criminal N.S.A.

- WikiLeaks Volunteer Was a Paid Informant for the FBI

- SSL: Intercepted today, decrypted tomorrow

- Two Senators Say the NSA Is Still Feeding Us False Information

When Obama threatens the ability of tech to get things done, his politics end up on HN. When Trump threatens the ability of tech to get things done, his politics end up on HN.
Then the Federal Government takes temporary control of Google on the basis of national security. Employees are forced at gun point to perform their functions, on the basis of otherwise threatening national security. Some of this has already been tested out in political theory, during the time in which Ballmer floated the idea of moving Microsoft to Canada over the anti-trust ruling, and during the NSA vs tech company conflicts recently. The power structure in DC, that exists outside the bounds of Democrats / Republicans, would never allow such a threat to themselves and their power to persist. It would be quelled fast. You're talking about directly threatening the United States Military (the NSA gathers vast amounts of its data from such companies).
The greatest action a tech company could make that would really sting would be twitter shutting down his account. I don't expect they will do this, but ultimately they can shut down anyone's account for any reason and unsuitability of their platform for what he is using it for sounds like a good enough reason to me.

It is kind of insane to me that nobody in the general mainstream media is making a bigger deal out of the fact that the POTUS is generally signalling public policy and overall decision making via twitter (not exactly the securest of platforms) to both the media and apparently his own party. And he accesses this account over what is reportedly a completely unsecured Samsung Galaxy S3 (too old for security updates).

If his twitter account were hacked the results could be literally catastrophic in terms of the damage that might be caused to the subject of the tweet before it came to light that the tweet was not legitimate.
I'd be pretty scared if it has one. It's pretty clearly illegal.
Android? I'm having a hard time preventing my iOS devices from connecting. Once connected it seems that it "remembers" even though I've deleted it from both the phone and my Mac.

That is how it works for our team. Normally if someone skips that step it's more urgent and I temd to answer (they have already asked and distracted me so why not). I don't really mind pleasantries, they remind me I am working with humans.
I think your president has figured out a way to

1)piss everyone off except his core vote base

2) be forced out of office

3) launch a movie/book/tv show

4) profit

I don't think his original plan was to win the election.
I am very good with Linux and Windows. So either of the two are fine.
It's part of the power separation. Congress makes laws, can impeach the executive, and confirms judges, judiciary interprets laws, orders, and constitution, executive nominates judges, vetoes or signs laws, and enforces them.
We've banned this account for repeatedly violating the HN guidelines despite repeated requests to stop.

Please don't create accounts to break the HN guidelines with.
Would you also like me to not tell you that the president will sign an executive order banning people from "Muslim" countries?

I do agree that it is extremely unlikely that my citizenship will be taken away.

Being denied naturalization does not seem out of the realm of possibility with the way things are going. More specifically, I bet that the probability is high enough that making a donation to the ACLU has negative expected value.
For obvious reasons, you can't comment like this here, regardless of how wrong or annoying someone else's comments are. Please don't do it again.
> I literally cannot understand why this is being downvoted.

Because it's off topic?

You can't seriously think HN is not anti-prohibition?

To move forward we need to be practical.

One city in the entire US is getting an injection room.

Why start talking about the legalisation of heroin? If it works but it can't be implemented why discuss at this point when we are discussing something that does greatly help and is being implemented.
Eh. Not a big fan of the american reliance on companies to be the ones to "drive change" in the first place. That they're considered 'in the best position to' is only the result of the corporatocracy anyways.
If you want something similar to Ubuntu, but something that is much more stable, I highly recommend Linux Mint. I've been using it for about 4 years now and it's a delight. Very stable and doesn't give me a lot of issues after upgrades. Their upgrade-schedule and the upgrades itself are very conservative.

They've based off a Ubuntu LTS, but I think they are starting to move away from that.
Why are we talking about the air filter? a) whether it was a glowforge system is still speculation b) air filters do not have anything to do with CO, only particulate.
That is because WikiLeaks decided to become politically opportunistic with what they chose to leak and when they chose to leak it, instead of simply leaking everything immediately after receipt.
If they can take a check, they ought to be able to take a postal money order which you can pay for with cash.
I hope that in the event that incoming students are unable to gain entry to the country in a timely manner, the university will grant a long term deferral of commencement of their program.

They used to allow very long term deferrals for accepted students for some programs (now reduced to a year due to budget management reasons), so this should be a relatively straightforward step.
Hmmm. sendfile is great because it lets the kernel arrange for DMA straight from disk to the network card, in addition to bypassing context switches and copies to and from userspace buffers. If the kernel gains an SSL stack (the encrypted version of the file is going to be different for each connection), you can't DMA and you'll need to make copies into kernelspace buffers to do the encryption on. Is skipping the context switch enough to make a meaningful performance different?
Please just flag such comments instead of feeding them.

What's the limit on that? The link you posted says 2.5 atm of pure oxygen but how does that not cause oxygen toxicity?
Arguably, that's what happened with Python. The single-minded focus on programmer convenience for its first 20 years of existence made it a very difficult language to compile.
Thse citizens of those countries have ZERO, none, less than zero standing to sue in US federal court. Any less clear?

This is clearly wrong. Dual citizens, for example.

Can you please clarify your legal qualifications? Or at least provide some references to back up the claims you're making?
Given the Republican commitment to popular bipartisan work over the last eight years, I wouldn't hold my breath.
In that case, I think (I am NOT a lawyer and this is just my personal opinion): If both of you travel together, then it will be much easier for them to deny you both entry than if one of you is inside, since they don't have to also justify forcefully separating a husband and wife from each other. But if you can make a case that your wife/family is here and that e.g. you have a mouth to feed, by denying you entry they're also increasing the country's liabilities and burdens.

Tread carefully. I would not go back if I were you. And don't miss the other comment regarding the news on Iran's end.
WOW.

@daxorid shared his view - which wasn't inflammatory. The comment was downvoted, then flagged before I could reply.

Terrifying, how? This is what Trump promised, and the reason we voted for him. Half of us are quite happy to see campaign promises actually implemented.

HN is acting as if this was capricious and unplanned. In fact, it's what half of us wanted.

@daxorid voted for a political party that you disagree with. If they can't share their views openly and honestly we won't learn from their perspective.

Based on a tiny sample of GOP friends, they agree with @daxorid. Those friends voted for Trump based on campaign promises and they're happy that he's following-through those promises. For me this was a sort of "oh shit" moment. What else did he promise?? WP has a list:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-promi...

Half of the country is excited by that list. The other half is not.
I think there'd be massive cost in retro-fitting lights and intersections - probably easier to agree on a mechanism for new infrastructure, and rely upon current approaches for extant infrastructure.

My concern is more about the regulatory side -- before any of this stuff gets widely deployed, various authorities are going to have to come up with some standards, and for the most part nation states are spectacularly poor at doing this sensibly in isolation, and horrendously woeful at doing it in cooperation. I suspect we'll end up with cars & infrastructure that are not 100% interoperable across borders.
My favourite story of this I will never stop telling: digital marketing head emails a support request, subject reads "please fix". Email contents? A screenshot of her desktop on the home page of the website.

Turns out she was referring to a typo in a tiny article description and it was of course so glaringly obvious to her that it needed no context.
What would the arguments look like from the ACLU if this were to reach the Supreme court?
> Trump added Breitbart's Bannon to the National Security Council

That's pure madness. That guy shouldn't even be close to a baseball bat, let alone sitting in on the NSC.
Is HN wrong about timing of stories?
As soon as I can do work on my phone, all other computers will be pointless.

Imagine your phone with all of the computing power of your current desktop or laptop, with all of the same software too. If you want to work at a desktop, you could have a wireless keyboard, mouse, display, and power. This is all possible today, but the phones aren't quite there, yet.
More people should listen to this. Davos said one of the biggest problems in 2017 will be political/ideological instability in democracies. The question is: how do you stabilize?

I just can't understand the short-term thinking of many here. The political system is volatile. You have growing radical fringes on both sides of the spectrum, increasingly more organized, more hysterical, and less factual.

Blaming "the other side" achieves what? Put your egos aside and look at the big picture. How do you avoid total dislocation of the country?

This was all predictable. All this is, is an escalation of political conflict between the left and right. How do you resolve conflict? Not by yelling at the other side, or telling them "they're responsible for their votes". You resolve conflict through competent communication. Most people don't want to do that, since it's easier to attack.
Interesting idea of tech hub
3 in 4 spouses of American citizens are LPR non-citizens?
Isn't this what the Alien Tort Statute is about? Actual question, I could easily be wrong. But clearly citizens of other countries sometimes have standing in US court.
When I used Scratch 1.4, I don't recall the UI being too bad, and it ran pretty fast: Smalltalk is pretty good at that. But I'm generally pretty good at picking up these sorts of things, and my computer wasn't particularly slow.

If you want a Real Language presented the same way, Snap! (descended from BYOB) is essentially a Scheme in Scratch's clothing.

But the two real draws of Scratch were its hackability and its community. Back before Scratch 2.0 ruined everything, Scratch was written in Smalltalk, and using a widely-known hidden feature, you could examine the source code and make whatever changes you wanted with relative ease, resulting in a healthy community of mods and derivatives which explored new features and ideas, or those that the official team had dropped by the wayside (like Mesh, a fully-featured networking system).

Scratch's community was likewise excellent: I spent a lot of time lurking in the Scratch Advanced Topics forum - a sort of off-topic general programming section, where people far smarter than I discussed modifying Scratch, improving the website, and whatever programming projects they happened to be working on (usually web programming in PHP - it was the mid 2000s, after all).

But that's enough nostalgia for one day...
an addition here - there are two classifications of CO poisoning: acute and chronic. Acute is deadly in anywhere between minutes and hours. Chronic ranges from not deadly to lethal and can be after hours, days, or months of exposure.
Actually, these days a lot of heroin users are getting started because their doctor prescribed them an analogue to heroin. Pain pills are being pushed out onto the market and people tend to keep buying once they get started.

And often drugs are banned not because they are harmful, but instead to punish a class of people. For example alcohol is more dangerous than weed, but weed is against the law in most places.
There are a few countries that have been experimenting with heroin clinics that provide not only needles, but the drug itself.

Apparently the results have been pretty good so far: http://sciencenordic.com/heroin-clinics-improve-addicts-live...
I would perhaps spend some time running it in a VM, and then if you decide you like it and think it's worth the time investment, maybe try installing it on your laptop. I run it on a Thinkpad X1. The handbook is a great resource:

Although not relevant here, Scalia and Stevens dissented in Hamdi v. Rumsfeld. The majority issued a weak sauce opinion that admitted the possibility of detaining a U.S. citizen with some due process short of a trial under some circumstances. Scalia and Stevens pointed out that the government must try a US citizen in regular court unless it suspends habeus corpus.
Just ported my little toy apps over to the new version. On the plus side, the config file support is welcome and much needed. I don't suppose a proper daemonized client with pidfile support is in the cards anytime soon?

On the minus side, the changes to the authentication system feel kinda heavy. For those who haven't tried it, PostgREST uses JWTs for setting the role. Formerly, it would generate the JWT for you from a Postgresql custom data type that held the values you wanted in the token. Now, the JWT generation is stripped out, forcing you to generate them in Postgresql, so you have to add Postgresql extensions to support the cryptography and JWT generation, plus store the JWT secret in Postgresql somewhere also.

Also, I'm still not sure what's the deal with changing the header for getting a singular response from prefer to accept.
Today's stay was de facto motivated by a petition for writ of habeas corpus filed by the ACLU[1].
