>Re the media question, it was just an example of a recycled talking point in the OP's comments, which tipped me off that they are in fact a Trump supporter.

You say this like there's something bad about it, first. There are lots of Trump supporters, or at least Trump voters, and their opinions have every potential to be valid. What's the point of this political shame game? It only hurts your position overall and such smugness may very well have played a large role in your side's election loss.

Second, I voted for Trump, but I don't consider myself a "Trump supporter" as such -- I'm not a big fan of Donald Trump, as I previously explained, and I don't have any specific personal opinion on Trump's EOs, pending further research.

Thirdly, as we've also already established, one need not be pro-Trump to recognize that the media is anti-Trump. That's not a "recycled talking point", that's a real thing. You may disagree if you wish, but your blatant hostility and denigration of others is not appropriate for this forum. You should read PG's essay at http://paulgraham.com/disagree.html.

It is just as fair to say that Mr. Trump's EO is more reflective of his actual opinion than his campaign statements as it is to do the opposite. That argument is zero sum because no one can know anyone else's true intentions.

You seem to be having difficulty grasping some of the nuance here, and trying to whip up a hysterical mob reaction. This is a thread about technical legal topics such as separation of powers and constitutional obligations, etc. In the future, you may wish to go visit the Huffington Post or something of that nature for the dismissive, mean-spirited political bigotry that you're attempting to use to pollute HN.

The main issue I've run into is having a high DPI 4k monitor as my primary display, and a 1920 x 1080 monitor as my secondary display.

In the past, I've have been happy to tinker a bit to make it work, but these days I'm busy working, so I want my display setup to just work out of the box. Ubuntu is close, but 16.10 applies the scale factor from the 4k display to the secondary display as well, so things don't look very good on the secondary screen.

It just works without fuss on Windows 10, so I tend to just run Win10, even though I prefer the look and feel of several different Linux desktop environments. The Win10 linux subsystem has been good enough so far than even ruby and rails development is painless - whereas before I used to run into some minor but annoying issues.

My Linux desktop experience is far from terrible - these days, I just fire up a Win10 or Linux VM and full-screen it on my secondary display and just use it for running a browser to look up documentation and other such things. In doing things that way, I'll end up with proper DPI scaling on both screens. But it adds enough friction to the process that I usually won't bother with it until I get sick of the Windows look and feel and want to look at something different for a few days.

I realize my use case is probably atypical, but it as least serves as an example of a non-seamless Linux desktop experience.

No, asking why things were done in the past is a useful exercise to uncover deficiencies in reasoning, process and other areas which can be acted upon for present and future action.

Your argument is essentially "don't ask why my favored party/people/orgs did bad things, just pay attention to the rhetoric they're using now." It's an incredibly cynical position to take, in my opinion.

I have 2 years exp in medium sized product company (which has global market) in India. I have developed iOS apps, react app, web app in django (basically full stack). have experience in python, java, javascript and swift.

You're misunderstanding the immigration system if you think you "need" to be on H-1B. H-1B is just one of many statuses you could get. O-1 is one that is perfectly appropriate for a brilliant PhD.

Because merely calling it a Muslim ban removes any plausible deniability and exposes the government to all kinds of legal challenges.

If the government wants to do some bad or unethical, they won't be straight about it. They will use euphemisms and "newspeak" to disguise their intentions (e.g. "enhanced interrogation").

It's akin to parallel construction. Start with the party that is presumed guilty, then work backwards to change your actions and arguments so that you can still persecute the party but without obviously breaking any laws.
I've been an Ultima fan since Ultima III, and rate Ultima IV the best of the Ultimas. Yet today, all of the Ultimas are pretty insufferable to me. They're too simplistic. Too cliche. Too limited. I expect a lot more from a game today than pretty much any game of the 80's or 90's could deliver.

I haven't played Shroud of the Avatar, and have only read the reviews of it on Steam, but I don't think I'm a typical Steam gamer, if only because I'm much older and have played many of the original Ultimas when they came out. Still, the Steam reviews, if they are to be believed, make Shroud of the Avatar sound like a gigantic disappointment.

Garriott does not seem to want to take any of the criticisms seriously, and never really addresses any of the really deep criticisms, of which there are many. He just brushes them off with a few words about the game looking "unfinished, unpolished, with only a few weapons and an obtuse UI".

The impression I'm left with is that either he's in denial or hundreds of negative Steam reviewers are fools or exquisite liars. I really doubt the latter is the case, and don't hold out much hope for this game, though I'd love to see Garriott emerge triumphant and for Shroud of the Avatar to become a groundbreaking classic like his early games.
Yes? That would be a major red flag if it was being touted as a feature. Especially if you add in a claim of "the most secure and fast programming language".

I'm well aware of the difference, which is why I specifically did not reference any particular event for which Obama may have been responsible, except to illustrate that civil rights abuses have been going on for far longer than Trump has been president, and the comparative outcry has been infinitesimal.

I haven't tried newer versions of Windows, but the 2008 Dell workstation laptop I used for a few years was more stable under OS X than under Windows 7 or Linux. Windows 7 had an issue where the laptop's Quadro graphics card would blue screen whenever power management kicked in, that to my knowledge still isn't fixed in driver updates (the community "fix" was to keep the card running at full speed all the time). Under Linux, the graphics was an issue too — nouveau gave lackluster performance and proprietary drivers would periodically lock up.

Hackintoshed OS X (10.9 Mavericks in this case) just treats the card as an 9600M GT and runs it without issue. No panics, no lockups, and no performance hit.

I am an ardent supporter of the individual right to gun ownership but you can't fault the ACLU for having a slightly different interpretation of 2A while still believing in the right.

That works fine, but make sure you switch jobs every couple of years and keep yourself up on tech.

The danger of that path is you spend 10-15 years at one company, get laid off, and all your real value is in the internals of a company you no longer work for. You don't even know how to look for a job.

I'm not an expert and 409A valuations are not a joke but the current rules around 409A valuations are there to prevent people valuing them too low to reduce taxes, not too high because - why would you?

Some scenarios:
A company's "real" fair market value is $50 and this is also what they report to the IRS. They issue options with a strike price of $60, which are $10 out-of-the-money. This is an allowed transaction.

B) The FMV reported to the IRS is $40 but the "real" FMV is $50. Options are issued with a strike price of $50. The IRS thinks that these options are $10 out of the money and therefore allowed, but they should actually have been taxed more-or-less as income.

C) The FMV reported to the IRS is $60 but the "real" FMV is $50. Options are issued with a strike price of $65. The IRS is happy that these options are out of the money, which they really are. If the IRS audits and challenges the valuation, they may come up with a price closer to $50 but that only means that too much tax might have been paid which they're not going to be too upset about. Meanwhile, for the purposes of reporting compensation of their prospective H1B staff member, the barely out of the money options look a lot better than they should.

The IRS is set up to look for B, no-one looks out for C.
Since they mentioned the womb, I'm assuming this person is pro-life. The ACLU is decidedly not pro-life.

I understood his point; mine was that _I_ don't watch the 1997 (or later) version of Star Wars (though I've seen it). My children have only seen the 1993 release of Star Wars. If my son was old enough, he'd watch Rogue One and have no issues having never seen the "upgraded" releases.

I think they're fun to tinker with (reminds me of building a Linux machine circa 1999) but unless your time is free they're usually not a cost savings (though in your desktop use case the numbers may work out)
To really spell it out, as these "pro-life/pro-choice" terms are somewhat esoteric and not always understood by foreign speakers, the ACLU is in favor of abortion rights and many conservatives are against abortion rights.

What, are you saying they didn't link to a scientific source at all?! I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you!

I would say it's just the opposite - they could have sunk a lot of time and money into designing an automated espresso machine, but instead they just combined a multipurpose robot with a typical off-the-shelf espresso machine.

Fair enough. 590K diesel vehicles is a niche of the US market that's almost invisible.

So have VW purchase back every one of those cars at MSRP. It's an invisible amount anyway, right? The largest auto maker in the world could do it without blinking, right?

Then fine them a few $billion for damage to the environment, jail a handful of employees, and we can move on.

I laughed when I had to make a minor change to an old web application, and found our tabular, scientific data was being displayed in a series of DIV and SPAN elements, with the CSS table styles applied to them.

You're right, I shouldsn't have lumped NYC (in all of it's five borroughs) in with SF.

NYC actually has neighborhoods that are affordable, often only a few blocks away from expensive ones.
> How we fight that is probably a better question.

For me, the answer to that question is to advocate for reducing the power and scope of government at all levels, by maintaining the weapons and skills necessary to effectively resist, and by ensuring others have the right to do the same.
But where is the response to homelessness in SF right in YC's backyard? This sounds like PR more than anything! Why take advantage of a bad situation?

Let me try an example: I have an amateur radio rig that transmits only on the allowed frequencies and it meets FCC standards. You are my neighbor using an antenna to get your TV. You allege that my radio transmissions interfere with your TV viewing. Legally, I'm allowed to tell you to pound sand and you have no recourse. Because your TV has to accept radio interference that is otherwise legal, whether your reception is affected or not.

(Of course, because I'm not a complete dick, I would assist my neighbor in properly shielding his TV or otherwise mitigating the situation, rather than tell her to pound sand.

>Say what you will about Trump's other policies, but it's high time someone took an ax to the H-1B program.

He's just getting started. I'm sure we'll see some doozies; hopefully nothing tragic. But let's not pretend that everything Trump does or will do is stupid or evil, and give him credit when appropriate.
The current refugee vetting process is very rigorous and would be a terrible avenue for ISIS agents to get into the US and other western nations, although I'm sure they would try. The process I went through to get a security clearance was about an 1/8 of the refugee vetting process and it was an incredibly invasive process. Obviously no vetting is 100% effective, but I'm highly skeptical that there will be a better process in 3 months. Then do we continue to ban these people our of fear?

As you said the question is: 'What would it take for his supporters to turn away from him?' Trump supporters may not not have breaking point when it comes to helping those that they don't have a perceived connection to.

> You have the facts on your side. Use them to win the argument, already.

I agree it would have been educational for many here to include a few of the definitions of fascism[0] as a political/idealogical term, just to drive home the point of how closely Trump is skirting the edge already after only a week or so.

[0] there's not a single generally agreed-upon definition, but you don't get extra points if you "only" hit a couple of them.

However, to address your point that the term was used for name calling:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_fascism#Fascist...

Now of course the word "bully" is a purposeful understatement (and of course saying "fascist" when you mean "bully" is no proper way of arguing on HN). And that would be that, if this were some other frivolous topic. But it's quite fair to argue that the situation is a lot closer to the various serious definitions of fascism than it is to the mere vague pejorative. The world is looking in horror, and we're all thinking it. Maybe another week of these "crazy antics" before we can say it without being downvoted? Don't wait too long though, or you might not be allowed to say it at all.

It's the Economist. Quotes like this are par for the course:

Yes, #4 is the first problem to handle. I have this idea there's at least a dual world here. (a) IT workers that get replaced by H1Bs and are often asked to train their replacements (more operations and putting things together), (b) big software co that writes handmade software, like Microsoft, Amazon, Google, a startup. It's category (a) where people lose jobs and can't find them, because they are more easily replaced? It's category (a) that needs protection, for cateagory (b) we need way more workers. I just heard today that seattle has 11,000 open software jobs. 11k is a lot of jobs.

Nice to hear you have an audio interface working there! Sounds like you do professional audio -- curious what kind of bandwidth needs you're expecting to have?

It's a minor nit, but one reason I prefer Thunderbolt hubs is because they hang directly off the PCI bus.

Historically speaking, with USB the host CPU intermediates all bus traffic. The 'fire' in FireWire (vs e.g. USB2) was how devices could access host memory directly.

It's probably a negligible amount of overhead these days, but my take is, if it's possible to use Thunderbolt and free up CPU cycles for whatever you're doing, why not?
