It's not at all patronizing. If these people are going to brigade every post about this topic with the same hollow rhetoric, they could at least come up with some alternative phrasing.

Since this is Hacker News, they could also even learn how to automate the creation of new pejoratives. Just go read one of the seven "Intro to AI" tutorials posted this week.
Surge pricing is often derided as price gouging.

Uber has turned off surge pricing in the past during unexpected events (such as the New York bombing), so as to not be seen as profiting off unfortunate events.

This seems to have been done under the same principles.

(Whether one agrees with the policy is not too relevant. The subject of price increases during disasters has always been a controversial one, even before Uber, and that's a debate for game theorists and ethicists.)
I think all immigrants and nonimmigrants in the US face some degree of this, though obviously the Iran and friends group is significantly worse off.

American citizens don't realize the restrictions placed on even "friendly" aliens (excluding LPRs for the most part):

(1) AR-11 form to file every time you move so the government can keep track of your address.

(2) You cannot perform any work in the US, paid or unpaid, that's not for your employer -- so even open source can be a grey area. Contracting is off the table.

(3) You can trade stocks but not "too much" (undefined quantity) because it then becomes active income and you're out of status.

(4) Every time you cross the border you're advised to bring your entire petition with you (H1B, TN) in case the guards decide to drag you into secondary. Further, TN status can be revoked at each border crossing. The one time I left my H1B petition at home I got dragged in, they spent about an hour validating my status; luckily the initial officer wrote my WAC number into my passport and they could look it up.

(5) TN only: 3 year visas, indefinitely renewable so long as you convince the border guard you won't renew them indefinitely. The mental gymnastics hurt my brain. Then there's the whole software engineer vs. computer systems analyst vs. programmer distinction that's apparently the most meaningful thing in the world. Much of your TN petition relies on the mood of the border guard. And that's if there's even going to be a NAFTA in a few weeks.

(6) You basically can't found here without a green card, and that takes the better part of a decade to obtain from start to finish, unless you're an Indian national in which case god help you. You can't even get a buddy to start the company and sponsor you unless you're Canadian and can TN your way in, because of the sheer quantity of recordkeeping, cost and 33% chance once a year in April of obtaining an H1B for an employee who can't start until the new USCIS fiscal year beginning October 1st.

(7) Out of status for 180-364 days? 3 year bar. Out of status longer? 10 year bar. Even if you marry someone, you can't adjust status from within the country so you get wanged with the bar on your way back in.

(8) H-1B: Last day of work? GTFO time. Officially, no grace period, it's back where you came from. Also? You simultaneously have to get an IRS form 1040-C Sailing Permit approved by your IRS field office before you go. Though many aliens who are fired/laid off obviously can't satisfy both requirements at once. Pick the one you want to piss off least.

Every US immigrant and nonimmigrant knows this stuff, ask one next time you see them, it's what we bond over ^_^

When I elected not to pursue a green card and left the US, it felt really good not to be under the thumb of the government. And this is 'easy mode' -- as a Canadian software engineer with 6 years of professional experience.

So are you implying that by mere virtue of being a successful business person you are disqualified or somehow morally inept in regards to our Presidency?

You could make the same arguments that past Presidents could be influenced by lobbyists, super pacs, etc etc; what's the difference?

It's also possible that Trump realizes how valuable America is and has been for his own life and his final act is to run for President and enact changes he thinks will benefit America.
I have a work calendar and a personal calendar. Both on google apps (but different domains).

Both domains are on my phone. My phone is my primary interface to my calendar.

I know this thread is old now, but I wanted to update with a follow-up.

Reuters has edited the story linked above [0] to state that the spokeswoman had improperly stated the effect and that, per a "senior administration official", permanent residents will be allowed to enter the United States after a "routine rescreening". [Permanent residents, or "green card holders", are non-citizens who have been granted a permanent right to reside in the United States.]

As expected, this is just another case of the media heavily misrepresenting an action by Trump because they want to destroy him at any cost.

You'll have to kindly point me to all the execs writing "op-eds" about those times Obama issued executive orders, because I don't recall any.

It has not been uncommon for past presidents, incl. Obama, to issue immigration bans or pauses for certain groups of people. You can argue the immediacy or the reasoning, but the results to travelers were similar.
Because the people who had bombs dropped on them were bad people, but the people being held at the border are good immigrants.

So by your logic, the strike in support of refugees is an unfortunate event they're trying to avoid profiting from. And they're trying not to profit from it by...breaking the strike and advertising that they're doing so?

4) he's put his own personal reputation and net worth on the line to run for office, he's been a billionaire for many years, he's divesting from his companies, and he's 70 years old.. sorry but not true

Today federalism connotes an emphasis on limiting the powers of the federal government in favor of state and individual rights. Thus, the Federalist Society is a libertarian leaning political and legal membership association that promotes less regulation, and in particular emphasizes a diminishment of federal regulatory powers.

So federalist would, I think, be appropriate today. The Federalist Society is hardly non-partisan, but the terms federalist and federalism haven't [yet] become associated with any partisan political ideology. And the Federalist Society is still quite respectable, IMO. They largely maintain an earnest and honest legal and scholarly discourse, unlike many other right- and left-leaning political associations today.

Why? Black market heroin can be produced without quality control standards, intellectual property licensing, in a country with cheap labor, and imported without paying tariffs. The distribution network is a little inefficient, sure, but you can pay a lot of mid-level dealers' markup for the cost of a 30 minute doctor's appointment.
As an adult, you have to make tradeoffs. Given that the supply of money is finite (unless you're Bernie Sanders who believes that money grows on trees), you have to decide whether to spend the money on this, or on, perhaps, kindergartens, schools, public transportation, and the like. TBH, I'd rather the junkies got a different kind of help: forced rehab. Got caught with heroin in your blood? Off to rehab you go. That'd be a good way to spend this money. Facilitating their addiction and making their death spiral "dignified" is a weird take on "help" in my opinion.

I started doing this after encountering articles that abused this with annoying looping memes; very distracting.
When you meet someone you often say things like: "Hey how are you doing? or "How is it going?" These phrases are not intended to be literal questions but are actually used to gauge the other person's feelings towards you. From their tone and the length of their response you can determine whether they want to expand the relationship or are indifferent. These meaningless phrases are actually an important part of social interactions, despite having no apparent meaning.

I believe World Solar Challenge regulations [1] are now only allowing a maximum of 5m^2 for Cruiser class vehicles (mounted to the car itself).

+------------+-------------------+---------------------------------+
| Class | PV Cell Chemistry | Allowable Total Cell Area (m^2) |
+------------+-------------------+---------------------------------+
| Challenger | Si | 4.000 |
+------------+-------------------+---------------------------------+
| Challenger | thin film GaAs | 3.560 |
+------------+-------------------+---------------------------------+
| Challenger | multijunction | 2.640 |
+------------+-------------------+---------------------------------+
| Cruiser | Si | 5.000 |
+------------+-------------------+---------------------------------+
| Cruiser | thin film GaAs | 4.440 |
+------------+-------------------+---------------------------------+
| Cruiser | multijunction | 3.300 |
+------------+-------------------+---------------------------------+

And then a supplemental array may be carried inside the vehicle only for charging (2m^2 for Si, 1.78m^2 for thin film GaAs, and 1.32m^2 for multijunction). So the total area actually on the cars at WSC would be less.

But yeah, as a member of one of these solar car teams, it is hard to design a net-positive vehicle that doesn't resemble a UFO. Cruiser class is a move in that direction, but the most successful teams have an aerobody and chassis optimized to be as flat as possible, to get the most out of their array.

There is (at least) a FORTRAN and a C edition. The interesting thing is that it is not a simple translation. The FORTRAN edition is completely (text and code) written using 1-based indexing, the C edition uses 0-based indexing. If I remember correctly the foreword to the C edition discusses this topic at length.

This shows us that the war between 1-based and 0-based indexing was not decided for a long time.
He's been in office for one week. At this rate, he won't last more than a few months. I'm fully confident that he'll piss off the wrong group of people at some point in the next 0-6 months and land himself in court. If Bill came close from lying about cheating on his wife...then again, sort the votes chart at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_of_Bill_Clinton by party affiliation.

He's saying that while it may be more difficult to change strategic direction of a $50B company (Ford/Gm/etc.), once you do, you have a huge company and giant production line behind you.
I'm pro-legalization, but there is a good argument to be made that legalization increases access and as a result you'd see a much higher rate of casual use (orders of magnitude higher). Any slight increase in healthcare costs or negative outcomes on a per-person basis multiplied across a large population is a factor worth considering.

Considering how much political discussion is actively going on right now on HN, I'd hardly describe it as "hiding".

Edit to add: You repeatedly bring up comments along the lines of "why was this flagged" or regarding the appropriateness of politics on HN. None of this should be news to you at all at this point. Why do you persist on bringing this up, when you've been around long enough to know the situation on HN and the community's well-established stance on these points?

That would work great if would they would take bugs reports seriously. In practice, with Canonical I file a bug and ninety days later get an automated message that the bug was closed due to inactivity.
I was thinking the same thing. One obvious thing to do is not claim it as a tax deductible donation, since it will go into federal records, which is easily accessed by law enforcement. Getting your past credit card statements may require one more hoop to jump through for them.

> He was actually anti-gay marriage during his '08 run, but as the tide shifted, he updated his stance.

I'm not sure if you get this, but this is the vast majority of America and many parts of the world that had this. People trot out, "Such and such was anti-gay marriage or anti-trans." Yes. Bruh. There are trans people who tell me I'm insufficiently trans in 2017 because I don't elect surgery or share much about the femme side of my lfie.

Literally everyone has had to come around to this. The sooner, the better. Trying to discredit someone by saying at one point they were part of a majority that still dislikes the idea is like saying water is wet.

The Obama administration has provided a lot of funding for pro-LGBT+ initiatives. You seem ill-informed here. It's more than DADT (although that is huge). But even just being a vocal supporter and vocally blocking things like Pence's FADA are net good for the community.

> So the point is that it's completely irrelevant to an assessment of Obama's policies, and it likely is used as filler because there's way more bad than good to Obama's reign.

I'm confused. So this is your justification for one of the most intractable congresses in the history of America? Do you actually believe what you're writing?

But yeah, ableism and sexism and uh... yeah Clinton's stance on women was bad there's no ism he took advantage of women. They exist. They have hurt other people. They hurt HRC's campaign enormously. Worth noting that being a proud supporter of rape doesn't really seem to be a black mark on any president.

I'm not trying to downplay Obama's failings. But I refuse to be the kind of fake progressive that refuses any president any nod of progress simply because they didn't completely finish the job. Same as how I refuse to forgive Sanders for his poor handling of BLM (and voting yes on the Trump cabinet) but also give him unceasing credit for his consistent foreign policy points.

It's always the same. You look at their prior beliefs (i.e. motives), actions so far, and incentives. A certain amount of consistency and self-sacrifice will happen if it's virtue. Whereas virtue signaling is often more about creating appearance of virtue for selfish gain. You might want to look into politics and marketing to understand more about that sort of thing. Those specialize in it. ;)

Why is it that people like scratching the hypocrisy itch? It's not even a logical fallacy. In fact, pointing out hypocrisy as a way of negating the merits of an argument _is a logical fallacy_: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque

I think we as commenters on HN should hold ourselves to a higher bar.

Pointing out hypocrisy changes the conversation in a way that avoids discussing the relative merits of an argument. It doesn't invalidate the original argument - it's just that, rhetoric.

For example, I'm sure there were other hypocritical posts today. Isn't it hypocritical to try and fight hypocrisy by commenting on specific political points in a discussion but not others? (please dont take this argument seriously as I'm just offering it as an example of rhetoric)
