Iranian here,

I do completely respect his decision , although I am 100% against his decision.
The only point I don't get is how Trump is not same Trump before election, He talked about banning Muslim (I was born in Muslim family , although I am not Muslim and I am atheist , I want to clear things out that I am not against ordinary people.), But he literally banned people from countries which have not participated in any terroristic act (Iran for example) whatsoever.

I don't get the hypocrisy!

He talked about Suadi Arabia (Iran is like France in comparison to Suadi Arabia, especially the new generation, which most of them are agnostic/atheist/nihilist , in comparison to Suadi Arabia which most of them have sympathy for ISIS, as far as I remember there was poll on the internet from one of the well-known firms, which claimed ~70% of people for Suadi Arabia do respect ISIS).

But guess what? Iran was, but Suadi Arabia wasn't.
People of America, Don't you get it? This is same old. I was literally in love with Bernie Sanders. But didn't you see how corrupted DNC rigged the primary against an outsider?

We all are slaves to this system. We in Iran are slaves of our brutal dictator supreme leader. You, people of America, slaves of your complex network of politicians and media networks and etc.

Actually, Trump campaign did have good points too (from an outsider perspective). He did want to distance himself from Suadi Arabia, or he did want to leave middle east. But I think that's not going to happen, because all of them was simple lie.

P.S. Pardon My English, I am working on it ;) , and I have 1 year to improve it more and more.

P.S. I was one of the "so-called" elite students which did have plan to immigrate to US in 2018. But I think I will go somewhere else .
For curiosity: It's possible to segment a sphere into equal area rectangles, plus circular caps. This is based on the arguably surprising relation between sphere area and the corresponding area on a cylinder of the same height as described in this article [1].

I'm satisfied with an expert's opinion without a citation list. That's the benefit of being an expert; your reputation vouches for your knowledge.
This is going to be a fantastic test of HN's objectivity. In any discussion on immigration there is always a huge thread on the abuse of the H1-B program. I see words like "indentured servitude" and "undercutting tech salaries".

If Trump reforms the H1-B program to eliminate these issues, will people say "I agree with what Trump did"? I won't hold my breath.
This seems like the most simple solution.

Are there any disadvantages to this approach?
I do, it's been in the news a few times lately...

The problem seems to be really one of oversupply, coupled with businesses who are afraid of discrimination lawsuits. Employers who are desperate to find people are not in a position to make any demands about their employees, but when you have hundreds of people lining up at your door looking for a job, you have no choice but to be picky. And being picky requires something to be picky about. Education is one of the only criteria left that won't run the risk of putting you under legal scrutiny.

It really has nothing to do with the degree at all. It's just a poor-man's filtering mechanism in the absence of anything better.

This is me being dumb, I find it hard to believe that I would have diabetes (not saying that's what you said). I also realize (I think as you mentioned) that skinny people can be diabetic. Seems bad like how did I get this? Eating too much sugary foods over time? I've come across the ketogenic diet. I'll check it out/try things, doctor is not an option at this time. I will also try to not eat salt anymore. It's tough life changes. Thanks.
There's nothing with GMOs that make them inherently more dangerous in the sense you're discussing, though.
> Trump is a symptom of something that was already there probably decades in the making

And the something is: Democratic entitlement. Larger population is feeling the world owe them happy life, free healthcare and the all the things that successful have "took" from them.

And ofcourse its not sustainable. Democracy is done. I give it at most two more Trumps.

You can do whatever you want about Trump, I simply had enough of reading about it on Hacker News. These articles are not of my interest, and I don't think so many of them belong in this site, so I flag them because I don't want to see any more of them here.

I am not speaking for the rest of people who flagged them, of course. Just for myself.

Pardon my ignorance - I'm not American and haven't followed this news - but how is everyone conflating it with "muslims"?

I mean, my country has some 140M muslims (India), and my neighbors have some 330M muslims.

As a layman, I just read the order and I thought "oh, so it's all war torn countries...but what's Iran doing in there?" not "oh, it's all muslim countries"
Trump’s chief spokesman Sean Spicer just explicitly stated that it's not about countries[1]:

>certain areas of the world produce people who seek to do us harm.

What's your definition of race? It's a hard thing to define since it doesn't objectively exist, but I think 'people from certain areas of the world' is pretty indistinguishable from what most people mean by race.

I haven't tried to do that, so unfortunately I'm not able to help you.
As a UK citizen I wouldn't run for elected office here given the level of abuse and "alt-truth" levelled at politicians. I certainly wouldn't run for elected office in the US. If you've ever done anything that could be twisted to cast you in a bad light, even if you haven't, you - and your family - will be put through the wringer.

I keep seeing parallels with the decades leading up to the end of the Roman Republic, except all we have are Caesars and Pompeys with no Cicero's thrown into the mix.

The BBC had an article pointing out that Trump has business interests in Egypt, Saudi, and Pakistan, and no business interests in any of the banned countries.

Also, when people talk about 'muslims' in these Anglo countries of ours, they're generally not imagining Indonesians or Malays. In the US it's middle-eastern muslims. In the UK, you can add south asians to that mix. Even here in Australia, 'muslim' doesn't evoke imagery of Indonesians, even though we're right next-door to them and have decent trade links. And before Boko Haram made the news, the general public had no idea that muslims lived in sub-saharan Africa, except maybe around the horn near the Arabian peninsula.

In short, it's an "anglo stereotype of muslims" ban, minus countries with good business links.
I know plenty of people who actually did vote for Trump because they hated Hillary. Only reason given.
As an American, I have a lot of respect for Iran. It's a beautiful country with great people. But when I turn on the news and I see "Death to America" being chanted or Iranians trample or burn the American flag the rust is broken. Not to mention the 1983 Beirut Barracks Bombing which killed hundreds of Americans and was committed by a group directly funded by the Iranian gov't. The situation feels very strange. Empty.

>He would be a moron if he didn't pay the legally required amount

Precisely. Why would anyone pay more taxes than they're legally required to? He'd be in jail otherwise. You see, people are caught up in complexity instead of asking simple questions such as these. It is however so blatantly obvious that folks attacking Trump on such issues don't have anything concrete to discredit President Trump.

>>He's a billionaire who inherited around $750 million
Again, WRONG! So blatantly obvious this is a lie. He did not inherit that much and even if he did, why is that a problem for anyone? Trump's voters weren't voting for his flaws (which were largely exaggerated by the dishonest media), they were voting for him because he was the only one who seemed to understand just how dire things have become, not just in America but globally. The left has largely been all about status quo and the vilification of producers.
What has emerged now is that the left cannot be placated any longer. Time for radical action has come. Immorality, indolence, abortions, illegal immigration, egalitarianism, fundamentalism/Islamic radicalization and social welfare have no place in 21st century civilization.

It is time for normalcy to resume and voters all over the world from France To Italy To America have realized that only the right can provide this normalcy. All the socialist parties in the world are losing and this is a clear indication that the pendulum has swung for the better.

EDIT: Here's a list of world leaders likely to emulate the brilliant things Trump is doing when they come into power:
Norbert Hofer - Austria,
Marine Le Pen - France,
Frauke Petry - Germany (with a very impressive movement called Alternative For Germany which has taken a cue from Brexit with their anti-EU mantra),
Jimmie Akesson - Sweden,
Andrej Babis - Czech,
Beppe Grillo - Italy,
Geert Wilders - Netherlanders,
Nigel Farage - United Kingdom

>This is a more or less equivalent scheme to transfer wealth from taxpayers to high income people. Do you have any objection to this scheme?

It's not equivalent at all. All taxpayers would now be on the hook for that 30k rather than just the corporations who pay for that labor.
The status quo, such as it was, in 2016, was worse than... what?

I'm just not seeing how my life, or my neighbors lives, are improved by anything that's come so far. Or that is on the promised list of things to come.

It is actually already worse for some of us than it was 11 days ago.
Emulating Just About Any RESTful JSON API
Meh. Don't like this. For me I _like_ their being no history associated with the new tab - then I never lose track of a central "research" tab and the various separate avenues of exploration that I've opened. IE actually colour codes tabs grouping together pages that have been opened in separate tabs which is handy.

Trails would likely get confusing / complicated quickly, and possibly pose problems for SPAs that interact with tab history.
Yes, this is a new type of spending that hasn't existed before, and therefore taxes either have to increase or something else that is currently getting the 30k doesn't get it any more.

You can't hand-wave away where this money comes from.
I've noticed a lot of flights from Montreal to Asia will transit through the US. So having to avoid the US probably increase some flight expense?

Of course if the US becomes even worse to transit through airlines will probably route around it.

Ask HN: How do you come up with a Brand or Project Name?
I believe large number of domains are taken, so even if you think of a creative name like 'shgdf.com'
I randomly typed it, but even that's unavailable. My point is, in today's time thinking of a brand name, comes along with the task of finding available domain. So, inevitably I end up at instandomainsearch.com playing around with different combinations.

Is there a better place where we can buy domains easily for $200 odd bucks if someone's been holding good brandable domain names. Brandbucket etc. seem too pricy and are good for maybe companies, but let's say for my small project, web game, or a blog, what's the ideal place? Aren't a lot of good use case domains just parked with bullshit ads? Is this even a problem, has anyone else struggled with this ever?

Thank you
I've been diving into a bunch of the newer (computational) optimization algorithms but the old school ones that they teach in school is still extremely interesting and relevant to me.

I think I'm taking crazy pills but...I distinctly remember watching TV back home in India in 2003 and seeing how everyone was cheering when American troops invaded Baghdad.

There's a section at the end about how we got to this approach. You're right that there isn't too much detail there, though.

In short, research on how people interact with information sources shows that we rely on the kinds of connections we're trying to preserve as important queues for remembering and mentally sorting information.

As other posters here have pointed out, purely looking at the informational content it'd be enough to copy over the current tab's history stack when opening a link in a new tab. That doesn't mean that this information is easily consumed, though: while the degree to which this is true varies from person to person, by and large our mind works in a way that we have a hard time grasping connections between nodes in a graph without seeing enough of it at the same time and being able to map it out. If the only way to get any insights into the graph is to look at each tab's history stack individually, that's fine for compuers, but just not too useful for people.

Exactly. The left is going to end up being extinct, and it has no clue why.

Obama oversees war for every day of his two terms, and we hear nothing, because, I guess, bombing people isn't hateful.

Trump takes office, continues the policies of Obama, and he's hateful. It's the left that is prejudice in assuming that those in the middle and the right can't see through this.

I see zero effort to change strategy or tactic, so we can all look forward to a second term of Trump.

>But guess what? Iran was, but Suadi Arabia wasn't.

There are the stated reasons why the US government thinks a certain way and there are the real reasons. Saudi Arabia is a big one. I suspect the real reasons is we have oil deals with Saudi Arabia and Iran has oil deals with Russia. Also Iran nationalized US interests in the late 70s with the revolution. The US punished Cuba for the same thing for 50 years (plus the missile crisis). The US isn't altruistic like they want people to believe, the US works aggressively for their own best interests. If they can paint an altruistic face on it, they will.

The US is still can't let go of the cold war mentality, probably justified with Putin. Iran and Saudi Arabia fit into that mentality. Iran and Saudi Arabia are the two powers in the middle east: one is traditionally an ally, one is our adversary's ally.

It's a natural law of geopolitic that the victors of a major conflict split into at least minor adversaries. The victors are the only ones who can threaten each others power and security. We saw this play out after WWII.

Honestly, as soon as it is safely possible for my wife to travel again, we'll come to visit the USA again. Even Trump probably can't kill the spirit we feel in so many places. For me, the USA is a brother country (not only because there are military bases all over in Germany). I'll do my American Amateur Radio License in March (you can do this here in Germany) and I would have even done my American Private Pilots License in the USA in summer (the USA are a great place for flying and the American License can be easily converted into a European one at a lower total cost). So I will not close my relationship anytime soon. But... I am disturbed anyway.

> why do people claim it is a muslim ban, when really it seems to be a ban on countries that the US is fighting a war with (except Iran)? Whether there is a causality between "at war with the US" and "Muslim" seems to be another question?

Because it omits Christians from the ban? Because it bans legal visa holders and (initially) permanent residents, who, I repeat, went through the immigration process legally and now are suddenly banned based on the country of their origin? Because, Rudy Giuliani, the White House Adviser, literally admitted on live television that Trump tasked him to find a legal version of a "muslim ban"? How else are you supposed to see it, "it's not a muslim ban, it's just a ban on people who happen to be muslim specifically because their religion"?

Surprisingly, in the US, the number of vacant jobs is almost equal to the number who are unemployed. Virtually everyone could have a job. However, people are attracted to certain kinds of jobs, so you get long lineups for them, necessitating the need to cull applicants, and nobody lining up for others, which is where employers cannot be picky.

A CLI is usable by any language that can fork/exec and read/write IO. A library is more likely to be usable by only one language.
This is doomed to fail. Even if they succeed, it will be a cosmetic victory. The explicitly defined object of desire is the trappings of power. The SEAT rather than the influence. But nobody is taken seriously because they have a seat at the table, they have a seat at the table because they're taken so seriously that the meeting is worth less without them.

The only setback Trump has caused to science's input to policy was removing it's current cosmetic status. Nobody in government, in either party, takes science seriously when it conflicts with their policy goals. It's just a cudgel that sometimes aligns with their goals, and is wielded the same as any other block of useful idiots with fancy nametags.

In other words: if the government had actually taken science seriously when Democrats were in power, this would have never been a problem.
