I think this is a Chess vs Checkers issue. It doesn't matter if you lay out a plan based on reason if the other side is playing a different game altogether.

Check out this simple strategy from the Republican playbook. They pour money into State elections (through Super PACs) during a census year and take control over legislature and the redistricting process and execute a horrendous gerrymandering which drives urban areas out of voting power. This leads them to hold on to a majority in the House at national level which forms the bedrock of their agenda execution at national level.

When have you seen Democrats executing such long-term ruthless strategy?

You're correct. Breathing "fresh" air will drop the CO levels in your blood by half every few hours.
I used to have over 3,000 books. Many of them I acquired when I worked at a used book store which gave me 50% off the already really cheap books, and when they made me their book buyer, so I'd go to all sorts of book fairs, garage sales, flea markets, and estate sales to ferret out great books (this was before amazon and ebay) and also buy some for myself. The problem was that my appetite for reading books was not nearly equal to my capacity for buying them.

I wound up putting my thousands of books in to storage for years, then going to the trouble and expense of driving or mailing them all from state to state as I moved around, even across the country multiple times, and then across the Atlantic ocean back and forth.

Eventually, I bit my lip and sold all but a few hundred of the best books, as I couldn't part with those. But I still only read a tiny fraction. They were great to have as reference and for the occasional times when I would be in the mood to read them, but most of the time they sat unused.

Finally, I decided to sell the remainder, as I didn't want to move them across the country, where I was moving for a job, yet one more time. Unfortunately, by then most used book stores in the area had long since closed, and selling the books a little at a time through ebay was far more trouble than it was worth. Worse, the one serious used book store in the area bought books for 10 times less than the cheap prices they sold them for (as opposed to the 3x or 4x markup in the good old days when there were a lot of used book stores and people actually bought books). It wasn't even worth selling to them, and I wound up just donating a lot of my books to the university and unfortunately throwing out some others, and still a hundred or two left over are still in storage.

I've long since stopped trying to buy books, and get them from the library as much as possible. This worked when I lived next to some really good public libraries, but now it's harder, so I'm starting to accumulate a small collection once again.

Yes, I have. As luck would have it, I also ran for a non-partisan local public office for my neighborhood in Washington, DC, and won. I have about a gnat's worth of power, but I'm trying to use it as best I can... and I don't have representation in Congress.

> Hoswabout profiling on "radical" rather than "muslim"?

You're right probably it should be based on "radicals". From those countries "radicals" would probably be "muslim radicals". From US it would probably be KKK-type militia like the ones from Oregon.

I am not even sure how they would check mulsim vs christian. Wouldn't muslims just say "nope, totally not a muslim, I got to church every Sunday" and they name some church address they memorized?

Then the whole "extreme vetting bit". How would they check? Does US have access to such detailed and exact intelligence about individuals from Yemen to know who did what when there?
I imagine a space defined by visibility, traction and road flatness. A large space of Level 0 conditions, i.e. the conditions within most humans can drive, encapsulates Level 1, i.e. cruise control, which mostly encapsulates successive levels.

The benefit of this is you notice where levels "poke through," e.g. Level 4 may work on a sunny day, but a small change in rain or road conditions could downgrade the system to Level 1. As time goes forward, the inner levels can be expected to radiate out.

EDIT: Never mind. The point of "Level 4" is it is competent in all reasonable operating domains.

Is ISIS trying to export fighters through Saudi Arabia? Perhaps there are other constraints we have in our relationship with Saudi Arabia that would prevent such a ban? Perhaps this would be a bad move diplomatically? I'm sure if you think hard you can probably come up with more reasons, but I don't think you're interested in it, you just want to try to point out hypocracy. Or, maybe you are suggesting that the suspension did not go far enough?
Compared to the post above, a German citizen has an incredibly smaller chance of being affected by any of Trump's future follow-up actions similar to the executive order that was just issued, so your comparison is invalid.

If one has to come up with new contingencies based on radical shifts in the likelihood of extreme events, then of course they are directly affected.

> there's a disproportion of immigrant attackers vs the total US population

There is a willful ignorance of this among some political groups here. Attack after attack, they refuse to acknowledge the problem and thus refuse to entertain basic preventative measures. We restricted Nazi immigration, we restricted communist immigration, and we should certainly restrict Muslim extremist immigration. There is difficulty in separating extremists from moderates (who are a welcome addition to our country), but in order to create a proper vetting process, we first need to recognize the problem and the need for a solution.
"Saudi Arabia has long been at war with al Qaeda and its extremist affiliates. In August 1996, bin Laden called for jihad against both the United States and Saudi Arabia with the publication of his first fatwa. The 30-page “Declaration of War Against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Sanctuaries” prompted the kingdom to revoke the al Qaeda leader’s Saudi citizenship and to divest him of his family fortune.

The kingdom’s conflict has continued in more recent years. In December, the Saudi defense minister established a coalition of 39 Muslim-majority countries with a specific mandate to combat al Qaeda, the Islamic State, and the Shiite terror group Hezbollah. Saudi counterterrorism security forces are on the front lines every day taking the fight to al Qaeda; hundreds of Saudi security officers have been killed in the line of duty at home, fighting Islamist militants. As recently as April 5, militants attacked and killed a senior Saudi security officer outside Riyadh.

U.S. intelligence and security officials have been particularly effusive in describing the important role Saudi Arabia has played in cutting off the sophisticated global network of illicit finance used by terrorists. According to the State Department, “Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula’s lack of success in Saudi Arabia can be attributed to the Saudi government’s continued domestic and bilateral efforts to … counter terrorism and violent extremist ideologies.”

The truth is plain: Americans are safer today because the kingdom has foiled numerous al Qaeda terrorist plots targeting the U.S. homeland. Adam J. Szubin, Treasury undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, recently praised the kingdom’s aggressive stance against terrorism as reflecting “the strength of U.S. and Saudi cooperation on countering the financing of terrorism.”"

Our relationship and the dynamics of Middle Eastern politics are extraordinarily complicated. To simply boil down our relationship to the Saudis as "majority of 9/11 hijackers came from there, therefore terrorist state" is reductionist. The House of Saud is not a monolithic structure and there are a lot of differing opinions on how to take the country forward. Deeper reading into the nature of Middle Eastern politics and our relationships to people in the region should quickly reveal that nothing is simple.

Pakistan is another good example. Supporting them is necessary for a variety of defense/political needs. Logistics with Afghanistan, pressure to be placed against the mujaheddin that use Pakistani tribes as a base of support, counter balance against China, etc. Yes Pakistan has a murky relationship with terrorism due to their use against India in proxy warfare. That doesn't change the reality that opting to alienate the Pakistanis just makes life worse for us.

These are not one subject issues. Like anything else involving millions of people, our reasons for taking action are multi level and multi issue. It is an immense disservice to career diplomats and policymakers to reduce concerns down to a single thing. There are no clean answers.

Divide and conquer is a fantastic strategy against a stronger opponent and Putin is playing this like a master.

Maybe America's time has run out, but I for one would like to see the USA remain strong and united, I fear this may already past the point of no return and with ever day that goes by and this madness continuous you'll be looking wistfully back at those 'terrible' years under Obama, Bush, Clinton and so on.

And in a way that is the most vexing of all this: Trump is lying through his teeth to get those votes, he will not be able to give his voters what he wants but in the meantime the clock is going backwards at a rate of about 4 years per week that this guy is in power.

America's signature under a treaty (always a dicey thing) is now worth absolutely nothing, international relations are damaged for years to come, re-armament will be on the agenda in lots of places that were better off without the ability to slaughter their neighbors and so on. Think of it as the roll-back of 50 years of diplomatic policy that kept a large chunk of the world - the USA included - stable and prosperous.
All right. I didn't understand a thing. Hope this helps.

How is me saying "fuck people who voted for bigotry because it won't affect them" a "flavor" of bigotry?

Are you saying that white Americans would had been okay with Obama campaigning on harsher policing for white people and their kids because he also spoke about lowering taxes or giving everyone access to healthcare?

You people keep coddling these bigots or bigot-ajecent people and telling us, the people most affected, to treat them with kid gloves. No that doesn't make any sense. Talk to the openly bigoted/bigot-sympathizers about their behavior and beliefs. Don't come to me asking me asking me to see beyond the stuff that hurts me and the people I love because they were promised jobs
About 10 years ago my wife and I relocated from Minnesota to California moving a very full 3BR house. We did not need temporary rent but we did have ~3 months of storage and paid for the movers to pack our stuff. I believe it cost my company ~50k USD, including travel and other misc expenses. That number doesn't include assistance the company provided for expenses selling my old house which would be another 20k or so.

Also, be sure to check whether the money you receive is taxable income because that potentially will take another large bite.

Mine was a little less than that (I stayed within the US but moved several states away). However my "relocation package" ended up as a signing bonus so it was fully distributed to me and taxed but the upside is that I could use the money however I saw fit. I see pro's and con's to either approach.

I hear you, but it's been so long since Apple made a decent Cinema Display, and we're so rich with better alternatives, that I don't really miss it. On the cheaper end, the Dell Ultrasharp is a fine replacement at a great price. For more premium needs, you can get something like an Eizo ColorEdge, which leaves the Cinema Display in the dust. And there are all sorts of other options in between.

The Cinema Display is not so much different from the Mac Mini in that sense. You feel bad that you don't have a new one, until you realize just how much better the alternatives have become.
I think every animal from arthropods (~bugs) upward in terms of complexity have connected nervous systems with bilateral symmetry. But many simple invertebrates don't, like jellyfish.

But the mere presence of bilateral interconnectedness doesn't mean that their 'brain' conveys much information or coordinates much activity in those linnaean classess. In all invertebrates, most(?) nervous control arises locally, via clumps of neurons (ganglia). The lower the class, the larger the fraction of control arising locally from ganglia. For example, earthworms have only ganglia (IIRC).

I'm not so sure I agree. It seems to me that Germany is currently having issues identifying refugees entering their country as well as keeping its citizens safe.

If this trend continues, it wouldn't be too far fetched for the US to require "extreme vetting" of German document holders to enter the US.
Yeah, it is a shame :(
But is there a social equivelent in tech?

If anything, in tech, "anyone who doesn't know exactly what I know is an idiot" send to be the dominant attitude. And management generally sees anyone in tech as a socially stunted weirdo who is overhead rather than an investment.

He was reporting a deed. You are accepting Paula Jones comments as fact of a deed, but you are not accepting Trump's own self-report of his behavior as a deed. Remember that the tape also contained him saying things like, "I can't resist beautiful, I just kiss", and "They let you get away with it". These are not abstract tasteless comments, like saying something tasteless about a woman's body. These are self-reported "nasty deeds".
It's interesting how much that reads like the exegesis of scripture, interpreting and reinterpreting quotes handed down by the prophets of some by gone age as if they're revealed wisdom.

What Apple lacks is humility. Jobs even said people don't know what they want until "you showed it to them".

So, I highly doubt that Apple will listen to what people want. I mean, Apple would make a killing with a new Mac Mini with better spec, a Macbook Air with better screen res, couple of USB-C ports, a 24" iMac instead of 21, etc...

But Apple won't do it because that would be listening to people, and this is something they're too proud to do.

It was a famous catch phrase that the Soviets would use against Americans. The typical refrain was Americans criticize the USSR for killing political dissidents, starving Ukrainians, and keeping millions in the Gulag; and the Soviet diplomat tries to shift discussion of the issue to American segregation in the South, as a way of derailing the discussion.

People are missing that the Macbook line are still the best laptops on the market. PC manufacturers will never catch up until they wittle down their selections to 10 or less choices as Apple does.
