One should be very careful in ascribing rational motivations to things the Trump administration does - even his rhetoric (vague allusions to the attacks of September 11, 2001) isn't borne out by the executive order. He did not ban immigrants from a single one of the countries of origin of the 19 attackers.
No.Downvote away. I don't care at this point. This community is so liberal it's nauseating. Give it a few years and the scales will tip. When you down vote comments you don't like, it's no different than reddit or discourse or yahoo news.
The difference between populism and democracy is that populists always claim to speak "for the people" even if the people are divided. They'll even take action against the majority and simply claim that all the "real" people are for it.

From a cursory look at Venezuela's wikipedia page, I see that Venezuela's oil industry was nationalized in 1976, it started devaluing its currency in 1983. At this point, with most of the economy under centralized government control, it is ripe for dictatorship. Chavez led a military coups d'état in 1992, for which he was pardoned. The country made a huge swing towards socialism during the earlier 2000s, led by Chavez.

Perhaps the message invites the messengers.
Yes it does. The fact that Trump did slightly better than Romney doesn't alter the fact that he still lost big with that demographic.
But not Muslims from the 189 remaining countries. So maybe it's not, in fact, about Islam per se? Do you think there is such a possibility?

I'm a US citizen. We would be applying for green cards for my wife and daughter.
Do you support this Muslim ban? If not, as a Republican voter, you have more power than most of us here to stop it. Call your representatives.
Extremely cool feat. Next try Chicago or Detroit in January guys.
Trump plans to increase access to education and drastically reduce poverty? I had no idea... Also surprised those are bad things.

Adults usually tell five year olds I told you so after having already told them.

Republican voters had many choices in their primary. Cruz, Carson, Christie, Huckabee, ... were just as bad. So your variety of reasons isn't very convincing. At a certain point, you have to take responsibility for your vote. Hand waving it away with a variety of reasons isn't fooling anyone.

Plus, many of the players do not have the intention of ever letting you "buy" the hardware. You will be buying transportation from A -> B, and it might just come in the form of an autonomous car (or a human driver).
Obama is the only President who has been in war for everyday of his 8 year presidency. Bombing several countries at the same time. Obama's actions also created the vacuum for ISIS. At least he has his Nobel Peace Prize.

No outcry or marches against Obamas actions, but goodness me when Trump has to clear the mess 'well take a stand against him'.
This is the unfortunate reality that no one wants to face. Trump ran on an anti-immigration platform and won. Contrary to what Sam says I don't think that most people voted for Trump for different reasons. Some did, but for many the anti-immigrant message was what resonated with them. Are these people racist? Probably. Is a Muslim ban repugnant? Yup. But that's how our Democracy works isn't it? Politicians campaign on their platform and if they win they enact as much of that platform as they can. If you're taking a stand against this you should at least acknowledge that you are taking a stand against Democracy. If you don't believe The President should be allowed to ban Muslim immigrants after being elected on a platform of doing so then you might as well be honest about it and say that you don't believe people who want to ban immigrants should be allowed to vote. These people are a part of our country and thanks to our Democratic system they do have a voice, that's the root cause of the problem here.

I agree with OP that there's nothing wrong with taking action after an election has already happened. Although I do think it's pretty futile, Trump has been granted all the power he needs to enact such a ban by our Democratic process.

* PS: I'm also not endorsing Trump's decision.
So the reasonable people should shift down a gear so that those who take extreme positions are less offended?

10 Ways to Increasse Your Startups Retention
Okay, noted. I don't think much of VC's in general. Ours were a decidedly mixed bag that brought little to the table, in retrospect.
You liberals took a stand -- it's called the election. The people who agree with these actions including me took a stand as well and our stand was larger. You lost. Get over it.
Any time socialism is tried and shown to inevitably fail, the far left narrative is to simply say "that wasn't real socialism". Which is particularly distasteful, even for extremists. At least Nazis don't try to point to a ruined post WWII and claim "that wasn't real fascism".
Fuck you too, buddy.
No, but how do you pass "mutable locals" to other processes? That's the whole question.

If you pass a "local" on a channel to a different goroutine, Go can't guarantee to the receiver (which now has it as a "local" variable) that the sender (which still has it as a "local") won't change it:

d := map[string]int{}
ch <- d
d["foo"] = 42 // Oops!

The only way to do this safely is to to write a channel abstraction which uses gob or similar to marshal and unmarshal all data, thus copying it and preventing concurrent mutation, and then always use the channel abstraction. But always copying tends to be terrible for performance. Erlang is able to do zero-copy sends to process mailboxes because the data is guaranteed to be immutable.

Sure, you could instead mandate that senders never hold on to data sent on channels, but can you ensure this 100% across a codebase contributed to by an entire team?
Software isn't politics anymore than physics is politics. The atom bomb had huge political effects but the fact that atoms release energy when split is not.

The only reason software has become political is because it is in the best interests of the entryists because it gives them power.

Don't give power to the least tolerant, don't let them win by politicizing your hobby and/or career.
very useful project, thanks for sharing this!
So at some level there is an issue with the "inside" aspect of card readers. If you had four guide posts and you just pressed your card against the pogo pins would it make it harder to interpose?
I think the semantics of "map" are quite a bit more specific than "for". For one thing, "map" functions have a return value which is usually the same length as its argument, which is usually a sequential data-structure. On the other hand, "for"-like functions or statements cannot or do not return values. True, if you ignore the return value from "map", it usually works the same as a "for" loop but the opposite is not true. The return value from 'map' is all the difference in the world and allows chaining of transformations amongst other things.
I found https://www.snapeda.com/instapart/ recently.

I just requested a part via their free plan, as I've never made a footprint for a part before (something which I do need to learn).

I'd be interested to know of other people's experience with them.

Also I found http://pcbshopper.com/ pretty handy.
You are bad. Bad people are bad. Sorry.
There is another article trending right now about increased Dopamine in the shower causing your executive functions to diminish and allows for increased creativity.

Seems like you could extrapolate that dopamine has a direct inverse correlation to executive functions in the brain. I'd go so far as to use New York and Silicon Valley as good examples of increased executive function and increased creativity, respectively.

I'd also relate this to the certain side-effects of Adderall, increased Dopamine causing a loss of time awareness and higher creativity, but the increase in your sympathetic nervous system causes the increased focus and awareness. Almost a best of both worlds, besides the likely strain on the body from overworking both systems.

Sorry, I guess it is a bit unclear: I assumed the leak preceded the laser tube proper. When you hook a tank/regulator up to an evacuated tube, there can be leaks "before" the laser tube (I spent a month building vacuum chambers, and most of my leaks were in the connections between the vacuum pump and the chamber, not the chamber itself).

however, after thinking some more, I agree that CO from material cut is more likely.

How do you expect us to take Ycombinator and the tech community seriously when you have a large number of persons within the tech community organizing grassroots initiatives for the purpose of having California succeed the from United States.

Great quote. Black Swan happens to be one of my unread books. You've propted me to pick it back up.

More generally, I feel there's no reason to buy books before I need to read them. Effectively Amazon has become my library. Need a book - $10 and you can pull it off the shelf and into your Kindle.

This saves my back when moving too. I have about 650 books in my Kindle library. 90% read in entirety. Moving those would suck!

Banks are also in a business of storing your money, transferring your money, and borrowing you money. Note that "storing" here is actually "letting the bank invest the money". I don't think any of these activities are undermined by completely verifiable purchase transactions.
This strikes a personal chord. Shortly after 9/11, I had taken a short trip back to India. I was transitioning from a student to work visa, and got held up indefinitely by the US consulate. It was a grueling experience, but what I remember most is how my employer stood by me. They contacted our local congressman, kept me employed, and even paid me for the time I could not work (two months), at a time when they were a struggling start-up. I know I am not the only immigrant who has experienced the incredible generosity of this country. For beneficiaries like us, it is all the more important to speak up, and take actions to welcome and support the next generation that wants a shot at the American Dream.
I can't agree with this more. If you've got an idea and know some framework/language better than others and that can get you up and running quickly, use that. Refine later.

It's about Muslims (and only Muslims) from the 7 listed countries. I'm not sure how to make this any more clear.
Five-year-olds don't feel compelled to accept everyone. They love everyone, yes, but when someone hurts them, they cry and fight back, they don't say "Hm, how can I work together with this person like an adult."

The inclination to treat unreasonable people as if they're reasonable is a major and easily exploited failure of adulthood. Plenty of Trump supporters are reasonable. Peter Thiel is not.

Every five-year-old knows a dozen stories about a good king with an evil counselor, and how the king would have been better off getting rid of the counselor.
I think anyone who supports ethnic and religious bans and persecution is a bad person. Even if they deprioritize them in voting over other policies, thinking, well, who cares, a little bit of racism never hurt anyone, that makes them a bad person.

And Trump promised voters that, and now they're getting what they voted for. The only very thin escape route a Trump-voter has is "I thought he was lying to trick the rubes, this was totally unexpected."

In which case, the voter is just really stupid. That doesn't make them a bad person--I know lots of kind stupid people! But it does make them, you know, stupid.
That's why I favor outlawing things like St Patrick's day parades - do these people want to be Irish or American?
How does a ban on Muslim refugees help Shiites, the followers of Shia Islam?
What's wrong with using the slippery slope argument here? Regarding slippery slope logical fallacy:

> This sort of "reasoning" is fallacious because there is no reason to believe that one event must inevitably follow from another without an argument for such a claim.

In this instance, plenty of reason and argument to believe this event will lead to another. It's what he campaigned on.

> There's zero mention to muslims in the text of the order

Plenty of Muslim mentions in his campaign.
But would they be more likely to be refugees?

That is, I'd expect that a Christian in the middle east would be more likely to have citizenship or family in a western nation than your average Syrian.

Now it could be, but 'they are being specifically targeted' doesn't immediately imply to me that 'they should be a disproportionately high number of refugees'.

That story mentions Bishops and priests who are very likely to not be Syrian Citizens, and instead be capable of just flying back to their home countries.
I suppose it's an American phrase. Given the way the rest of the world is going it may be an American value, too, though the US itself is moving away from that idea, too.

I'm not going to rehash old arguments about the virtues of fiscal conservatism. Suffice to say, I'm happy if people want to redistribute wealth and intrude on the lives of fellow citizens. I just wish it didn't involve me.

I am not the only one being taxed. But if my income is 5 times the median income, then I'm paying 20X the median taxes. No fun!
- A ban is not needed while revising the rules.

- Revision doesn't mean suspension of the ban.

- Temporary can mean indefinitely.

- The overwhelming number of terrorists that commit acts of terrorism on American soil come from people born in the United States of America.
This guy is really dramatic and acts like this is the end of the world. The USA is at war with Muslim terrorists. If Muslim terrorists come from certain countries, it makes sense to have strict checking on people from those countries.

Because of everyone having an Internet connection in their pocket, emotional meme battles ("politics") have infected every corner of modern society. You cannot escape.

The people who benefit from the emotional meme battling have made sure that you can't think logically about just about anything these days without hitting on a learned emotional trigger. Once you hit this trigger, you cannot reason about it any further, because your emotions override your powerful logical processing ability.

Billionaire Silicon Valley tech CEOs are NOT sympathetic characters with the general public. (Or pretty much anyone outside the VC echo chamber.)

Sama doesn't need to "remind anyone involved in this administration" about how they'll regret the actions of this administration. He simply needs to remind Congress--who can undo an executive order--and he can easily get their attention with lobbying and donations.
Cruise was a sponsor of ROSCon in 2014, but had no booth or presenters: http://roscon.ros.org/2014/#program

Anyway, just curious to what extent Cruise used (or still uses) ROS and open source software in their stack.

Call me naive but Trump's repugnant behaviour and actions may well steer voters away from similar european candidates.

Or it might show them that it's possible to "take action against the muslim/refugee threat" and they'll demand the same from their candidates.

The most terrible nuances, like the ban affecting permanent residents, weren't reported in the news here. Most people wouldn't understand how the US system works anyway.
I have questions about a few of your comments, if you don't mind indulging me:

1. Who is speaking for ethnic cleansing and genocide? Can you provide citations? I hear a lot of people talking out against illegal immigration, since it drives down wages and makes it harder for poor Americans to compete and make a living. I also hear politicking regarding banning muslims from entering the U.S., due to the fear of terrorism. I agree that an all out ban stinks of WW II internment camps (a bit close to home too, since my wife is Japanese), but I'm not sure how you can extrapolate genocide from those conversations. Disallowing people from entering the U.S. doesn't really equate to genocide, does it? I don't really know what you're referring to, exactly, since you didn't provide any citations, but "genocide" seems a bit hyperbolic to me, with the information I currently have.

2. Are you advocating physical violence against people who have differing opinions than you? You lead in with Richard Spencer, and then ended by saying you're not going to apologize for being against the political speech you're referring to. I'm curious if you're suggesting physical violence as a means of shutting down said opinions?
Cruise is now owned by GM, which I really doubt is going to throw something out into the market without testing very rigorously first.
Me personally? If I don't know them, I'm not getting involved. This is not theoretical for me. On a couple of occasions I've witnessed people in the process of self harm. It's scary.
I'm not advocating violence. You can't have a rational discussion with people who believe the universe is 6000 years old.
the only actions that matter at this point are going to be protests in which you bring thousands or millions of your friends and shut down economic activity in urban centers.

the democrats are a minority, and so they can't effect political change. the republicans are on board with trump, and so they won't effect political change.

that means that you have to effect political change by physically preventing the operation of the country to move forward until your demands are met.

you can't do this from your computer chair or your couch.
Yes, and those under the most persecution are primarily Muslims who oppose Assad, or just happen to live in areas of Syria that oppose Assad.
> reasonable to kick a toxic person out

I agree - as long as being "toxic" means hurting the business. But as far as the "community" is concerned, it would be interesting to know what percentage of it might be, if not in favor of, but rather tolerant to Trump being president, regardless of whether he is seen as a "presidential material" (whatever that means) or not.
