I think logic would be something like the following:

Boycotting US goods would affect one of the corner stones of Trump's campaign of bringing back jobs/improving US economy. A poor economy would lead people to eventually tire of Trump antics and his methods eventually leading to voting him ( and possibly those associated with him) out office
Well I just did it a few days back [1].

One way to set the stage for a "wait/defer" option would be to remove the limit of 10 rounds per game by using random time length games where players don't know how long the game will last or how many rounds it will be. Playing more successful rounds would mean more points so this should incentivize cooperators to cooperate fast without waiting/deferring if they have confidence in the other player, and it reduces the incentive to try and game the last rounds.

To add the option to "wait/defer", you could include informational incentives/variance where players gain the ability to increase their perspective and degrees of freedom by being privy to more information sooner. For example, once a player achieves some level of points/reputation, they gain the ability to see the other player's move before they move -- this would in effect be giving them the power to defer. The other player may or may not know the extent of the other player's abilities at that time -- one or both may have the ability to see (defer), and neither may know for sure. For example, rather than explicitly stating upfront to new players that through their play they can improve their ability to see, let players discover this once they cross a threshold. Further increased powers might include the ability to see into the other player's past games, see their group's dynamics or portions of the wider network, and communicate with other group members and/or the other player during games.

As stated by Axelrod in EoC, one feature of the tit-for-tat strategy is that it's easy enough that it can be understood by anyone, and it's simple enough that it can be communicated/signaled from one player to the other through their play. It would be interesting to see how learned players -- who have gained the ability to see -- use or abuse their elevated powers of sight, either by working to better signal/communicate their intent and teach the winning strategy to the less enlightened players or by choosing to try and exploit the naivety of the other player who may be relatively blind.
There's also the issue of technical problems with for example traffic lights. I remember an occasion in Berlin where the traffic lights broke down on a major intersection with long queues. The right of way ended up being solved in a contest between the status quo competed with the impatience of those who were waiting. The only way as a pedestrian to get across was to step out into the street so cars would stop, which was a bit uncomfortable. Worked out alright, if not terribly efficient. Fixed pretty fast, I think, but an AI would still have to handle, uh, dynamic traffic in western countries.

Ideally, the AI should be able to figure out how the dynamics of such a situation work and not create a jam or something.
I spent a summer job in tech support, as I'm sure many on HN have at some point. "It doesn't work" is such a frustrating piece of information to hear. Especially when the reporter doesn't even tell you what "it" is, let alone what they think working looks like.

Good idea. You never know when Putin might need a favor.
American living in Canada, and I wouldn't expect you to have any difficulties whatsoever. There hasn't been any move or suggestion to block or interfere with legal Mexican immigration. Trump's rhetoric seems entirely targeted at people who have entered or stayed in the country illegally. Canada deports people who overstay visas or do not go through the motions of entering legally as well.
I'm not aware of any country that's gone that far, but, Portugal decriminalized recreational-quantity possession in 2001 (across the board) and did a study on the societal effects in 2009: "Empirical data from that report indicate that decriminalization has had no adverse effect on drug usage rates. However, drug-related pathologies - such as sexually transmitted diseases and deaths due to drug usage - have decreased dramatically."[0]

We as a society elect people who collectively create rules. And the police force enforces the rules. I.e. it's part of the social contract we join.

> What'd be right thing to do in this case?

The right thing to do is for Kalanick to loudly and publicly resign his position on Trump's "economic advisory group".

This group has zero influence on the administration. Its only purpose is to legitimize the administration and its policies of hate.

In exchange for collaboration and legitimization, Kalanick might buy some preferential treatment for Uber. There's nothing principled here.

If the Muslim ban stands and Kalanick doesn't resign, it will be obvious that he's a total hypocrite.

Far from "standing up for what's right", Kalanick has sold out to hate.

Not necessarily. IIRC, people trying to decipher Mayan glyphs with cryptanalytic methods were set on the wrong track and got nowhere, because a script is actually meant to communicate language, not to hide the message.

Trump can't do that. That would take something way beyond an executive order.

My experience is not recent, but I ran hackintoshs for about 3 years in the early days (dates are fuzzy but 2008+).

Recently, I looked into NUC's and mini-PC hacks and I don't think Broken BT/Wifi is correct as long as you pick a supported platform. There are mini pc's that work I'm sure. I had a Shuttle SFF working flawlessly back then. The main issue now is getting call forwarding working (call rings on your phone the hackintosh answers it). There is a place that sells an aircard/ide combo for $150. Yes expensive.

The updates. OMG. Yes, this is what made me buy a Mac Pro. Back then, when there was an update it was return to Windows land. Crashes galore until you tracked down every little issue on the boards and mitigated them.

For someone that doesn't need to update their system often, a hack could work out. I loved it, could boot into Windows and play games and then boot back to OSX for video editing etc. But eventually did a cost benefit analysis and I was spending too much time on the updates that were required by the s/w I was using.
reporting that a particular button "does nothing" is a great bug report (from a user. from a colleague it's a little disappointing). It tells you the three important things you need for a bug report : what did you do, what did you expect, and what actually happened?. The problem with "doesn't work" is that it could mean anything, from "does nothing" to, to use the example in the article, "it launches missiles".

There are places like Amsterdam that are perfectly functional with recreational drugs, although they still maintain a distinction for "hard drugs." Making such a distinction is fine -- it would be a huge step in right direction to at least recognize that recreational drug use is not inherently bad. But in reality, I don't think "dangerous" drugs are any less dangerous or prevalent because they are illegal, so I'm not convinced the distinction is necessary. The government-focused stigma against drugs was never so prevalent before the 20th century.

That's not entirely true. I built a FlatBuffers implementation for Erlang as NIFs so that I could still take advantage of FlatBuffers memory efficiency features, which fundamentally required "unsafe" and mutable access to a byte buffer. I just had to be very aware of exactly how the runtime was going to interact with my implementation and account for it.

Sadly the place where I worked was not keen on open source posture, so it's locked away for all of time probably. However, the place I now work is a lot more open source friendly and I expect to take another whack at it, but using Rust on the NIF side this time around instead of C.
No. Just because the war on drugs was started for a racist reason doesn't make banning drugs themselves a bad idea. I don't think people can make valid choices about the use or not use of highly addictive drugs. We as a society can do better than to help people be strung out.

It is pedantry. We are arguing the definition of "minority" when in this context enough people in the US voted for Trump to make him President.
I don't think it works with anything more addictive than say coffee and with reasonably negative health effects. I.e. today's engineered tobacco is likely on the wrong side of where I would personally draw the line.
There multiple ways somebody can get a green card. I suspect that the majority of those w. green cards and citizenship from the seven countries that were banned have obtained these green cards by way of refugee status.

I have nothing against helping refugees escape atrocities in their home countries. If possible, good for them.
The problem I see is that there is an inherent unfairness in this process when compared to those who try to immigrate legally, especially when using the H1B process.

A refugees obtains a green card in a matter of months if not 1 year at most. With no particularly serious/harsh vetting. Look at what this has brought, considering that all the past attacks (Boston, California, Florida) where done by people that entered US by this rout.

An H1B has to usually wait if somewhere between 8-16years, sometimes more just to get the green card. And for every step, they are scrutinized and verified in the most intimate detail.

In my opinion this is not a fair process. And, personally, I am ok with increasing the scrutiny on those that apply for refugee status.
My co-founder and I were planning to apply to some accelerators in U.S for summer 2017, the 90-day ban should be over by then but being a dual citizen of Iran and Canada, this means I won't be able to attend any interviews if we get one.
This is an incredibly cynical comment. I'd only say that around 60% workers in Silicon Valley tech companies are immigrant born. As far as I can see, they didn't pushed the salaries down in recent times.

Your argument that minimum wage should be reduced or abolished has some merit. But that doesn't give Uber the right to gain an unfair advantage over other companies.

Islam is a religion, not a race. And the ban is for citizens of seven countries which are not ethnically homogeneous, and not because of their ethnicity, but because there are a lot of terrorists who come from those countries.

Feel free to disagree, but please don't call it "racism." It's ridiculous.
I can understand an initial mail product not having deduplication implemented, but to get to 1PB let alone 50PB before implementing this seems a little extreme.

What a foul thing to write here. To write anywhere.
https://nodejs.org/en/ and http://electron.atom.io/ Node is the server-side of JavaScript and Electron the cross platform desktop app (also JS and compatible with node). People have a lot to say on the subject of what is worth learning. I learned ASP/Perl/Java and I am not using them today, I still love them to bits, but there is no time/space for it today. Worth learning just may mean "what will be fun to use", meaning "what can you grow with today, that will take you to fun places in 2027". Can you see a future without the Web Browser? Can you see a Web Browser without the language that enables the Browser today? To be fair, ask is JavaScript evolving? And it is. ES6 is OK, it is the right path to take. Promise/let/const/Class and the arrow functions have fixed a lot of it. HN had RxDB on the front page today: https://github.com/pubkey/rxdb I paused when looking at "..for these plattforms" which listed: browsers, nodeJS, angular/ng2 (TypeScript), react, react-native, ionic, cordova / phonegap, nativescript, electron.

TLDR: ES6 and its surrounding environment.
Is it a matter of retribution? If Trump issues an order that Congress didn't like, what could they do? Their job is to create laws, not interfere with the enforcement thereof.

Honest question, do you have an alcohol problem or addictive personality that is driving this fear? If not, what keeps you from drinking yourself to sleep on the sidewalk every night?

When it comes down to it, not all drugs are equal. Heroin isn't "alcohol but worse". People who drink tend to get pretty nasty sometimes, and that's a social harm that someone who's nodding doesn't perpetrate. And in terms of physical harm, heroin is actually pretty low compared to alcohol. Lots of people destroy their livers with alcohol and die early, while there's an awful lot of rockstars who do piles of heroin and cocaine and live to their 70s and beyond (we need to start worrying about the kind of world we're going to leave for Keith Richards).

The harm comes from getting bathtub stuff of uncertain potency and purity, and from the things people need to do to afford their fix. If it's clean and affordable you tend to do fairly well on both the 'personal' and 'social' harm aspects.

Obviously that's not how DARE told you to feel, but the fact is that the current state of things is not the only one that is ever possible. You don't know what social use would look like in a society with legalized heroin usage.

If you eliminate the need to commit crime to obtain black-market drugs at obscene prices, a lot of the harms of heroin go away. Some people will still choose to do it, but we free up a whole bunch of police money that can be redirected to free treatment resources to help people quit when they realize they aren't going to find happiness in drugs.
And how do you propose we do that? It isn't like the country is divided in any simple way.
Net neutrality is potentially a bigger long-term effect because in the modern age, it's absence potentiallt substantially impairs practical exercise of political freedoms. So I wouldn't say it's not important.

But the immigration action certainly has graver immediate and acute effects.

And, in any case, it's not a choice of fight this or fight that.
Trump is basically an insanely narcistic person who got the presidency, and it is a stress test of our instutions to see how well they resist illegal behavior. It's too soon to see how well we react. My current thinking is we need to change the constitution to reduce the power of the president. It has not been enough of a problem because we've only had a few in the last 100 years who were bat shit insane.

Because it would (hopefully) prove to Trump's supporters that his policies are in fact going to be hurting America's economy, and quite the opposite of "Making America Great Again".

Once local shopkeepers, business owners and workers realise that the 'brain drain' caused by these policies, as well as the lack of tourists spending dollars in their establishments etc. is causing actual pain to their hip pockets, then they may realise that being a part of the global community may be a good thing, and the isolationist policies not so much.

By the same token, I would ask you how US imposed economic sanctions on other countries are expected to work to depose the leader of those said countries? Sanctions usually affect the general population who usually have nothing to do with their leader's actions. We end up with children and other innocents dying from starvation or disease while the regime continues unabated.

The different with the US is that (hopefully), the people can have sway over the President's actions, and take action themselves to effect change.
Goodbye Tab Groups (will stop working in Firefox 57)
We've had this in Australia for some time and I think it's abominable.

Western civilisation is founded on the rule of law. Obey the law and you do fine, break the law and you get punished. When you start saying to people "Hey guys, we know you're breaking the law, but go ahead and fucking do it in this room, we don't mind, you won't get arrested or punished"

Here's a better approach to drug users: catch them, sentence them to mandatory cold-turkey rehab, don't let them out until they're clean.
If you're going to quote statistics to the tenth of a percent, you should also be very comfortable using terms like minority, majority, and plurality appropriately. This doesn't undermine your position at all, or the fact that Trump won the election fairly as the process is defined. Why argue it? It just makes you look unreasonable and needlessly argumentative.
Why? Does your chat client beep differently for longer messages? As long as it all fits in a single message, what's the difference?
I was just asking myself the same question. As an outside observer it seems Obama tried to get consensus and change the law and Trump just does what he wants. Obama could have instructed e.g. federal agencies to confiscate guns, raid gun shops, etc.. Ignore the outrage from the gun lobby and let the affected people fight through the court system to try and get that reversed which could take years. That's probably what Trump would do if he wanted to enact gun control. He wouldn't bother with changing the laws. Presumably as long as the president isn't impeached he has a wide latitude in his interpretation of what he's allowed and not allowed to do.
Maybe war on drugs opponents downvoted what they interpreted as sarcasm
The entire point of the original comment up there is that most Americans didn't vote for him. Nobody was arguing the definition of "minority" until you incorrectly said the number didn't qualify, so if anyone's being pedantic, it's you.
A quick reply because I just got in.

1. The fact that you haven't heard of them is beside the point. They're influential within their circles and have been building their fan base for years. I would hope you have heard of Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway, and I have no hesitation in saying that their political starting point is only a very short hop away from the authors I've cited here.

2. To put it very simply, I'm saying that it might be OK to punch a nazi in response to the things they say or do which threaten the safety of others; they're saying it might be OK to kill or harass people because of their genetic characteristics or social affiliations, absent any demonstrable harm.

If I was saying it's OK to punch Richard Spencer because he's white, then you'd be right. But I have no interest in punching Richard Spencer for being white, or for thinking that white people are better, or for saying that he'd prefer to hang out only with other white people. When he starts saying it's OK to get rid of other people in order to create the white nationalist utopia he pines for, that's an incitement to violence and may justify a violent response.

Look, these people are not mainstream folk that are basically the same as everyone else but made a racist joke one time or something. Promoting violence against demographic groups is way outside the realm of acceptable discourse and is not something that we should be attempting to incorporate into it. You seem oblivious to the effect such behavior has on people who are members of the designated out groups.

I can't believe I even need to explain this to an intelligent adult person.
They could pass laws that override the order, or, which was what happened constantly during Obama's turn, simply vote against all directives put forward by the president and his party as a sign of disapproval. They can also vote to strip resources from organizations tasked with carrying out executive orders. Now, Trump's most recent orders have lined up very well with the extreme end of the right wing, so they aren't going to try to stop him.
um aren't you missing "or c) they were actively rioting along with hundreds of others"?
