That stay does not mean green card holders are protected. It means that anyone who was in transit when the order went into effect was allowed entry.

So if you were on a plane to the US before the order, but landed after it, and were detained with the threat of being sent back, you can stay.

It does _not_ mean that visa holders, including those with green cards, can travel back to the US in the next 90.
It's hard to tell for sure what's happening in a sped up video like this, but starting slower than other cars at the light isn't necessarily a bad thing, depending on just how slow they're going. Going hard off the line is extremely inefficient for very little benefit. Autonomous cars correcting that habit could be good.
I don't think this is true at all. First example I found: http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/403/365.html

A state restriction on welfare benefits for legal aliens violated the 14th amendment.
Yep. If nothing else, just about all of them have the asm keyword. That's non-standard (but almost always present) in C compilers, and "conditional" in C++ (i.e. the keyword is in the standard, but the semantics are implementation-defined).

And yeah, it's a given that it's going to be non-portable.

Given asm, implementing a Turbo C-style int86() function seems pretty trivial. It might even be doable as a macro.
So maybe Trump really will make America great again. It's just that he'll do it by being the counterexample which spurs people to action.
Yeah, Scalia was certainly conservative and had some literal-genie interpretations of the Constitution, but he wasn't exactly a lapdog. It seemed like he had a fairly libertarian interpretation of the first amendment and probably wouldn't have approved of thinly veiled religious discrimination.
The USA has clear separation and balance of powers, and the judiciary gets to rule on matters of law and constitution interpretation, so ya. It's like Rock Paper Scissors.
You can run `apt-get autoremove` and it will purge old kernels/headers for you (amongst any other no-longer-used dependencies).
Also note that the Republic of Iran has said that it will likely put into effect a reciprocal ban, meaning you won't be allowed into Iran.
> The affected people already present might have some standing to fight their denial of entry as they are here legally but people here illegally have no such right.

Even people here illegally might have some standing in court (under international and amnesty laws). You clearly have no idea what you're talking about.
High level of proficiency? No. But maybe enough to apply critical thinking skills to them, I work in IT and the number of people in IT POSITIONS that can't just dive in and ATTEMPT to diagnose an application they are unfamiliar with boggles my mind.

Thank you. I know "every bit counts" is corny, but we can do the math: $5 less Stripe processing fees (to pick a representative number) is $4.55. If every one of the 65,844,954 who voted for Hillary donated $4.55 a month, that would be just shy of $300 million a month.

The ACLU's 2015 financials showed them operating on $94 million a year ($79 million of which was from normal contributions): https://www.charitynavigator.org/?bay=search.summary&orgid=3...

In 2015, they laid off 7% of their staff, saying that they had a regular annual deficit of $15 million: http://wpo.st/6DkW2

If you and everyone else who supports the ACLU's goals donates $5 a month, the ACLU would be orders of magnitude better funded and more effective.
People are being locked in jails for attempting to enter the US with what were valid visas when their planes took off...

Silicon Valley’s responses to Trump’s immigration executive orders
IIRC, Chernow's main criticism against Rockefeller is that he was extremely suspicious of his critics motives, but at the same time couldn't fathom that other people might honestly question his motives in using the immense power that he'd accumulated via his collusion with the railroads.

I don't think this was evil exactly (does Chernow actually call it that?). Rockefeller honestly believed in a sort of divine Corporatism, where economic success was a defacto indicator of divine grace. I doubt most people would agree with his premise, given that we have plenty of examples of evil, successful people.

But I think Rockefeller is a good example of how that kind of thinking can be twisted even if the person in question is generous (as Rockefeller certainly was). In his mind, his wealth meant he was a good person, and since he was a good person, there was no problem in his colluding to block other, less wealthy (and thus, less moral) people from taking part of the pie. And people who questioned his motives were obviously being duplicitous. This led to a kind of circular logic, where his wealth justified his actions in accumulating ever more wealth.
> "IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that to assure compliance with the Court's order, the Court directs service of this Order upon the United States Marshal for the Eastern District of New York, and further directs the United States Marshals Service to take those actions deemed necessary to enforce the provisions and prohibitions set for in this order."

Is the U.S. Marshals Service part of the judicial or executive branch?

This is one of those important stories. Americans can not stick their heads in the sand about these anti-muslim actions.

This is an embarrassment.

Even if you completely agree with what the order does, it's impossible to claim that the implementation of this was anything other than a complete and utter disaster. No warning, no clear way to enforce the order, widespread protest, and getting the courts involved within 24 hours.

This is going to have ramifications for years to come. We want to encourage the world's best and brightest to come here, and a precedent of unannounced, widespread, severe changes to enforcement of the laws will cause people to reconsider.

This is utter negligence and I'm ashamed of my country.
Call your representatives, don't email them. It is orders of magnitude more effective.

If we're sharing Ubuntu bugs, how about the one where NFS with Kerberos had been completely broken since several years back. You simply can't mount such a share, and you'll always get an authentication error.

I reported it as soon as I upgraded (to 14-something I think) and the bug was marked as severe. Every time a new release of Ubuntu comes out I check if it had been fixed, and of course it hasn't.
Well, did you read it?

An excerpt:

However, there are reports that the ban is being applied even to green-card holders. This is madness. The plain language of the order doesn’t apply to legal permanent residents of the U.S., and green-card holders have been through round after round of vetting and security checks. The administration should intervene, immediately, to stop misapplication. If, however, the Trump administration continues to apply the order to legal permanent residents, it should indeed be condemned.

And another:

First, the order temporarily halts refugee admissions for 120 days to improve the vetting process, then caps refugee admissions at 50,000 per year. Outrageous, right? Not so fast. Before 2016, when Obama dramatically ramped up refugee admissions, Trump’s 50,000 stands roughly in between a typical year of refugee admissions in George W. Bush’s two terms and a typical year in Obama’s two terms.
I too used to be of the opinion that Trump's actions were calculated with an end-goal in mind, but I've started to believe he might actually be legitimately mentally unstable and/or naive enough to think being elected President makes him the "boss" of everyone. There are lots of reasons to suspect he really doesn't understand the scope of the job and such a misunderstanding would only be reinforced by the Republican Party's complete inaction on standing up to him.
Such an injunction would be without any basis in law whatsoever, the constitution instructs the President to "take care that laws be faithfully executed". Individual executive orders need to have their own constitutional reasoning, but since executive orders are really the means by which the president fulfills that clause, a court could not prohibit them altogether.
So you are saying that as Obama's legislation that allowed this to happen wasn't opposed, people shouldn't oppose Trump's use of it for something they are strongly against?

I do not live there or perfectly understand American politics, but that does not seem a very robust logical thinking.

I am not sure what group of people you refer as "Liberals", but I remember a lot of people, especially in this forum, opposing NSA and privacy threats very fiercely. So I don't know who exactly did not say a word against it.

But even if that is true, I still don't get it. The presidential role in itself has a lot of power on presidentialism (is that a word in english?). So if someone I strongly disagree occupy the presidental role do something that is allowed for a president to do that I strongly disagree I can't protest against it because I have not protested against presidentialism before?
My M.O. is:

# apt-get update
# aptitude full-upgrade
# apt-get autoremove

Because as far as I can tell, apt-get sometimes fails to actually update things, whereas aptitude can't autoremove. I'm sure there's a better way.

This is my major gripe with the dpkg ecosystem. There are (AFAICT) multiple different tools to build dpgks and multiple different tools for updating your system, and none of them are adequately documented nor support all use cases.

The Fedora ecosystem is better in this regard. Want to build an rpm? rpmbuild is the only answer. Want to update the system? Use dnf. (Sadly, there's now also PackageKit, and it's not quite isomorphic to dnf.)
You're very confused. I'm not justifying present wrongs.

I'm proclaiming that the dumbest thing a human rights supporting people can do, is not protest their own President out of partisan loyalty / blindness.

Scenario: you believe Obama was overwhelmingly a decent person. You trust him with various questionable policies, so you don't protest his bad actions, whether related to his vast violations of civil liberties around spying, or the 2011 ban on Iraqi refugees, or his vicious and persistent attacks on press freedom.

It is thus, that by not protesting your own President (who is dramatically more likely to listen to his own voters), you risk allowing his bad expansion of power to be handed down to following Presidents who may be dangerous or tyrannical in any number of ways and may abuse the new powers in question.

If one is a liberal, this is why it's critical to protest as loud as possible about any civil liberty abuses committed by a liberal President. By the time you're protesting Trump's abuse of Obama's (or Bush's) increased NSA powers, it's far, far, far too late.

There would be no rollback of the deleted marker since we don't want to undo the delete - we want to keep trying until it works.

> timeout is a fail?

No, a timeout would just issue a retry until we got a response back (or if there is a reader it would keep connecting until it got through). There is no danger about deleting a file multiple times since any additional unneeded deletes would report such.

> this does not mean it was fixed on disk forever

Then the system would keep seeing the marker (after it restarted from the crash), repeat the delete call, and then trying to delete the email for good. It can crash 100 times but eventually it would get both removed.

> Indexes become exclusive data owner. If you lose indexes...

Then no mater how you build this system you're toast and have to restore backups. No system can handle losing indexes (& the error correcting or checksum copies) whether they are btrees, file blocks, or memory addresses.

You can't sue in US federal court on behalf of non-citizens. They have no standing.

"Powder" Heroin is most often light-ish brown/tan (the darker the better, generally -- with exceptions of course). It will still cook up to the familiar color of motor oil. White powder is almost unheard of these days. While generally considered to be of better quality, it's often referred to as "China White" -- I believe this stems from the heroin boom of the 1970's when most of it was imported from the Far East after the Vietnam War era.
This is incorrect - the government tried to remove the ACLU's and NILC's standing by allowing Darweesh and Alshawi (the representative plaintiffs) through, but they prevailed in getting a stay on behalf of the class.

It looks like The Verge has fixed the sentence to "The court specifically ruled on Darweesh and Alshawi’s petition; other similarly-situated people being detained and those in transit are covered by the ruling, which is only temporary."

It is true that this doesn't stay the entire executive order. It just responds to the habeas-corpus bits for those who already made it to the US (including someone who was being placed on a plane leaving the US as the order was being made, and hopefully was allowed to get back off that plane).

I stopped using Ubuntu after Amazon affiliate marketing showed up on the desktop. I stopped using Arch after I read the source code for SystemD. FreeBSD had quite a learning curve, but now it's on my laptops and is my preferred server OS. I love DTrace. I love ZFS. I love pf. I love Jails. I love ports, even though I generally use pkg. I love how easy it is to compile a kernel. The FreeBSD handbook is awesome. All the JetBrains IDEs work well with it. Hardware support is spotty and battery life is terrible. The BSD license means you can incorporate FreeBSD into commercial products without infecting yourself with the GPL.

Executive orders are good only as long as the president wants them to be so they can be revoked at any time. By the present president or the next. It's important to make sure they don't become laws, if you don't agree.

Laws are much harder to stop once they are in effect. At this point my biggest advice is to make sure that the president does not have the majority votes in either the senate or the house of reps. to pass laws.

So 1) make sure your congress person knows how you feel. 2) Work for a congress candidate that you agree with. Make sure they stay in congress or are replace by a suitable candidate. 3)When congressional elections happen in 2 years be part of the change. Make sure at the very least you vote and make your views known. 4) Social media was VERY important in this election and will continue to be. Understand how it can help your cause and act upon it.

In other words, get involved by researching and understanding who needs your help.

There are no quick answers. But every election is a point to make a difference.
That's what impeachment is for. Pence, not Trump, is the GOP establishment's preferred president.
It is not the same clearly. But the logic behind it is similar.

Moreover there is another idea here and that is looking why are there refugees streaming from those countries. It is not because of a natural disaster, it is not random. It is usually because the West had been meddling there directly and via proxies for many years. Obama has been funding rebel groups in Syria probably with full knowledge there is a revolving door between the "rebels" and ISIS. So I see this sudden "support" from the all the tech CEOs a bit hypocritical. How heavily have they been lobbying the administration the last few decades to end foreign interference? Now that Trump did something stupid (and disallowing people who have H1-B visas, already accepted and so on is stupid and counterproductive), they are all happy to jump on the "take a stand platform".

Wait, what? Cato Institute is libertarian not conservative; they're generally pro-immigration, pro-civil rights, etc. While I haven't been following them recently I'd be very much surprised if they ever supported Trump.
The question, then, is what recourse would the courts have against a President who just spams new EOs with the same text and new IDs? Can he be charged with contempt of court?
Unfortunately, these days crypto really is a mandatory feature, and sendfile doesn't work with TLS anyway. (IMO it should - secure communication should be an OS-level service rather than requiring each application to figure it out, just like the OS provides TCP rather than requiring each application to implement reliable connections - but that's another story.)
The choice of countries actually dates back to a 2015 Act of Congress restricting access to the Visa Waiver Program to nationals or prior recent visitors of certain countries. These people will have had to apply for a visa instead, and presumably are subject to more stringent checking than most.

The list of countries wasn't defined by Congress beyond Iraq and Syria (presumably thanks to those being specifically called out in the name "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria"). It did include provision for the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security to designate additional countries.

My gut feeling is that the current administration didn't choose to target the same countries deliberately, but rather chose to incorporate the prior legislation by reference as a defence against legal challenges.

The EO wording is that "immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the United States of aliens from countries referred to in section 217(a)(12) of the INA, 8 U.S.C. 1187(a)(12), would be detrimental to the interests of the United States". The referenced legislation is here: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1187#a_12 .
Exactly - the mere fact that map is being used does not automatically make things better; it can be abused just as a loop can (if using a side effect in a map would be a bad idea, the reasons for it being so would presumably apply to the equivalent loop.)

A more useful question is how can map, used properly, make things better, and I stand by my claim that the simple examples of the sort given in this article, and articles like it, fail to make that case.
It totally would be, it could be Mr. Rogers and it would still be the top story. Your tech employee with a green card, and hence a global tax obligation, is no longer allowed in the country? That is really just messed up. And as you know in our industry, a lot of our coworkers are on these visas.

The only thing is, a sane president would never have done that. They might have banned new refugees or new visas from those countries, but preventing the entry of current visa holders...nope. If it were not Trump, this story wouldn't even exist.
Trollop.
I'm assuming you're not in the US? I used to have contactless cards on all my accounts until they started rolling out chip cards, at which point they sent me replacements with chips but no contactless functionality. I've considered calling the issuers to see if they can still get me one, but I dread the thought of trying to explain the difference between a chip card and a contactless card - it was hard enough the first time before chip cards became a thing!
If you work in tech or academia, you probably know many immigrants. This issue is just as important to the tech world as surveillance.

I haven't seen this list referenced by the administration as the rationale, but the list of countries is the same as those included in a question added to the Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA) application in June 2016, which addresses countries DHS considers at higher risk:

Have you traveled to, or been present in, Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, or Yemen on or after March 1, 2011?

https://www.cbp.gov/travel/international-visitors/visa-waive...

Please note that I really don't understand the details of the visa process in general or this program in particular, or how DHS arrived at this list of countries. I'm just submitting it as an pre-existing list of countries the DHS has expressed concern about with respect to immigration and visas. Nor do I have any reference that this list was used for the Executive Order. That said, it does seem reasonable to imagine that similar reasoning was used in choosing the countries listed in the Executive Order.
