I tried to show that Rockefeller was essentially a zealot: unwilling to ever admit to any nuance, and impossible to bring off his course.

The Gulf of Tonkin resolution was passed in August of 1964, and LBJ became president in November of 1963.[1] Nixon was the one who quit the war in Vietnam, removing US soldiers from active combat, then from most of the country (which took place 1971-1973).[2]

The USA also never passed a declaration of war against North Vietnam, whereas Obama claimed to be operating under the 'War on Terror' declaration for his whole presidency.

I believe that Obama also has the record for bombing the most countries, though many drone and bombing campaigns have not been fully disclosed (i.e. the extent of the Phillipines campaign).

It has always been this way. Even back in the heyday of personal computers, people stayed on simple happy paths to make sure didn't get lost. If they got lost, and a restart didn't help, they were at the mercy of the closest technical person.

That person would be exasperated at the simpleton who wouldn't put in the effort to learn the tool they were using.

The truth: Those people can't, or won't, learn, and now, they don't have to.

Being that technical person, I eventually got to the point of saying to myself, "These people will never learn, and they obviously don't appreciate the joy that comes with computer proficiency. They don't deserve to have a computer."

I dreamed of the day that they wouldn't have computers. I actually started to design a operating system (no code, just UI, concepts) that I code-named MoronOS out of sheer bitterness. No file system, no window manager, no cut-n-paste, little or no configuration, like that. I never needed implement it because Apple did it for me. It's iOS. And now Android.

These are perfect for people. Rarely do people as me technical questions about their phones. Kudos to the people who design those OS's. The fact you can't even do 5% of what you can do on a general purpose computer is fine, cause they never used that other 95% anyway.

Now computers are for the people who will put in the time to learn them, to harness that power, and dare I say it, rule the future. Everyone else can enjoy their phones (really, what I think of as the real "personal computers").

The queen is a figurehead and doesn't get involved in politics - the point being that she doesn't fiddle with parliament's politics, and they don't cut her out of the picture. Been that way for centuries.

Here in Australia, the picture is similar. The Governor General (queen's representative) is the ceremonial head of state and can dissolve government prompting new elections, but can't direct government to a certain course of action. Dissolving government is done when it's blocked, and almost always at the request of the current head of government. However, if the Queen tried to start influencing local politics, the GG would be renamed 'president' and she'd be cut out of the picture.

Basically, the Queen maintains her power by not pissing off whichever rabble is currently in power in the parliaments of any of her countries.
I agree with your sentiment.

But 90 days will not put anyone's lives at risk.

The 'waiting process' for most refugee claimants trying to enter the US is years.

This idea you might have in your mind of 'people running from Aleppo with their luggage onto airplanes' - is just not how it works.

Refugees to the US come mostly from refugee camps, where they have been living a long time.

Also - the vast majority of Syrian refugees go elsewhere - as America (unfortunately) does not take on very many refugees, relatively speaking.

In the end, there actually might be some process/security adjustments that need to be made.

You know the 'no fly list' - that ridiculous 'name based' thing? If you have the same name as a jihadi - you can't fly! It's crazy - and also insecure. Who knows, maybe they'll fix that?

I would urge people to keep the details in mind, and to keep things in perspective.

If I thought people were going to be 'dying' over this, I'd be wailing. But they won't. It's just some temporary, crude regulation.
right, but banning everyone is clearly not in line with a "usually".
"While every government has their own immigration controls, allowing people from all around the world to come here and make America their home has largely been the U.S.’s policy since its founding."

Well no. The article you posted, which doesn't provide any data or source to any actual study, just says some researchers EXTRAPOLATED polling data, and they themselves say it is NOT plausible for non-citizen votes to account for all of Clinton's margin.

So not only is this hardly anything to base a conclusion off of, the conclusion that is arrived at is that Clinton still won the popular vote.

Focusing on voter fraud after winning is a weird tack to take, especially when the president has a 36% approval rating, so many people would enjoy a revote.
These are exactly the people that we want to support because they are peaceful and are not contributing to the conflict.

Once you get to a certain size, just do repeating products and have an employee do them: yes, you can do better by playing the mini game yourself but you can launch ten times more products by not playing it.

At first, only spend on new things once you've already hit your profit goal for the year. Also, spend as much as you can to get your profit to only slightly above the goal, so the goal next year isn't inflated (hm, perverse incentives?)

Hire employees with high marketing skills to ward off patent trolls and other problems. Once you have spare employees, have recurring promos as well. Can always pull employees off the recurring for emergencies then put them back on after.
The easy time to do this was the election. It is much harder to deal with now.

The president's Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor is a white nationalist, who used to run Breitbart.com, where there is a distinction made between white supremacists and white nationalists (I cannot explain the distinction, for I don't see one). A site all about how awful multiculturalism is, separation of races is necessary for the survival of a country, etc.

Without letting down your guard or concern, my advice is to moderate it with another possibility. The U.S. has much better insulation geographically than European countries, and a history that involves worse rhetoric and divisiveness and we've survived. There might be a pro where the whole world sees what even a little bit of white nationalism does to a country, and all those European countries flirting with their own far right nationalists, and have elections coming up soon, might just have an "OH FUCK NO" moment.

And that's probably better than if Europe were electing far right governments before the U.S. Europe has a history of conflagration. Maybe Europe gets cold feet and starts taking far right nationalist politics more seriously, and rejects it more concisely and clearly, at election time. It's much easier, safer, more stable, to squash this at an election.

The premise of your comment is that there is a significant risk that the people this ban impacts are likely to commit acts of terrorism in the United States. But of course, that's simply false. Armed toddlers kill approximately ten times more people in the US every year than foreign-born terrorists do. In 2014, more people died falling out of bed, by a factor of almost 2, than in every mass shooting in the country, terrorist or otherwise.

Since we know for a fact that the overwhelming majority of immigrants to the US are not in fact terrorists, and that the incidence of terrorism is so low, and that the overall incidence of people coming to the United States from the countries singled out by this executive order are so high --- many orders of magnitude higher --- simple statistically literacy tells us that the ban is irrational and should be evaluated primarily on its moral and precedential terms.

But that's besides the point. As the Washington Post reports, this EO was put into effect without consultation with the DOJ or DHS, and apparently without vetting by the President's own OLC. As a result, it bands lawful permanent residents of the United States. Something like 3/4 of the foreign-born spouses of American citizens don't have citizenship but instead simply retain their green cards, and this act prevents many of them from returning to their families from overseas --- so many that big tech companies have had to run war rooms in their HR departments to figure out how to deal with stranded software developers and other employees.

No principled American of any ideology can look at this situation and believe it's acceptable.

I teach at a liberal arts college and in most of my classes I devote a day or two to researching and evaluating sources. I ask them "How can to determine if a web site is credible?" and in every class I get a significant number of students say "If it is a .org, .gov, or .edu" Who is telling these kids this?

Their K-12 teachers are telling them this. Rather than actually teach kids how to evaluate information, it's easier to just give a set of rules. The kids are given a "rubric," which is basically a glorified worksheet, with precise details on exactly what's required. The rubric has to be precise enough that there's no way for a student to dispute the grade that they receive.

The question is not which website is credible, but what you can get away with on a paper.

THen ther are the students who submit .gdoc or .pages files and when I tell them to export the files to .docx or .rtf they say they don't have word. First off, you can download MS Office for free from the university. Secondly, you can export from google docs and pages to word files.

My kids are in 9th and 11th grades, respectively. When they were in grade school, we still needed to have MS Word in the house, because some of the teachers would freeze if a file wasn't in .docx format. Their papers still have to follow formatting rules that include things like margins, for doucuments that will never be printed.

Today, Word is a thing of the past. The kids do everything in the cloud, and the teachers have mostly figured it out. The last remaining uses of MS Word will be in academia, for manuscripts, and in business, for documents that nobody ever reads.

Being good at your job won't magically make you fast at fixing up other people's spaghetti code. It won't let you ship 3 working features faster than someone else who's also "good" at their job ship 6 mostly broken features. It won't convince your manager that the former is actually getting more work done than the latter, and won't prevent them from thinking the first guy is slow and the second guy is fast.

But for what it's worth, I agree with you in that I'm still on the hook. Either to help educate my manager, or to pick managers who already understand this stuff.

It could be anything, right? The political environment in Turkey itself is not stable (hasn't been for quite some time now). There have also been multiple bombings in the country that citizens lost track of, and it became an ordinary part of life.

I don't want to speculate on how Trump might behave when it comes to his business now that he's the POTUS, but even without that, there are enough reasons for him to add Turkey to the list.

I think one of the few reasons it hasn't happened yet is probably because Incirlik base, but it's also been a long tension point between two countries.

I'm not really sure what you're asking? The oil is in Iraq and by international law belongs to Iraq, not the USA or some other country.

But even assuming that the USA should "keep the oil" -- how would that work in practice? You can't just pump it all out and make a quick exit. Estimates say that there is 140 billion barrels of the stuff. (That's over 22 cubic kilometres!)

The United States would have to maintain an occupation force to protect the wells and pipelines for years while they're enjoying the "victor's spoils", as Trump puts it.

It's unlikely that any other country would purchase oil produced under such circumstances, so the oil would also have to be shipped to America... And the only shipping route out of Iraq goes right under Iran's nose. You can see how this might escalate quickly.

Trump's idea of keeping Iraq's oil would make for an interesting plot point in an alternate history fiction about World War III.
You're right we are early into that event. It's still not clear how the arrest played out: (a) they were grabbed along with "rioters" and later turned out to be journalists on the side or (b) they were with media badges and video cameras clearly covering the riots on the ground, then still arrested as a sign of force. Sadly journalists get arrested relatively often, but it's important to insist that medics should be aimed at as rarely as possible, despite the heat of the moment.

Of course we do. This is the stated, principle reason for immigration in almost all countries that allow it.

The Scandinavian countries have found this not to be the case- statistically the successive generations are actually less prone to educational attainment and more prone to radicalization than their parents.

In my personal experiences, the first generation immigrants are thrilled to be here, while their children lack the same sense of gratitude and tend to resent growing up around white people.

>And a very large majority wants no immigration whatsoever from any of those nations affected nor from any of their neighbors save Israel.

American immigration policy towards Israelis is essentially the same as towards anyone else. My (Jewish Israeli) coworker from grad-school wanted to work for Google in Mountain View, but the company couldn't swing him a visa. He stayed at Technion to do a PhD.

He now says that he doesn't want to come to the USA with Trump in power.

You tell me how a Jewish Israeli computer scientist poses a threat to the United States. And if you think you can, be aware that I'm such a person, on top of being American, so you had better explain to me how I'm a foreign threat to my own home country.

At any given time, some (heavy) users were critical about new Apple products and Apple decisions, lamenting that they forget about their most valuable and vocal fans. Apple killed the floppy drive, multiple connectors, "great" products (clickwheel iPod, anyone), resetted software products (FCP, Pages), killed services and so on. Heck, they even killed the Apple ][. And some users cried foul on each of these decisions.

Just now, the internet and clickbait journalism give these voices much more weight. Apple isn't the underdog anymore and Apple bashing produces page views.

That said, of course Apple products aren't perfect. But they never were. But even 10 or 15 years ago, a lot of Apple supporters didn't buy 1.0 releases of new products, didn't install OS/X x.0 releases and so on.

How reasonable are these critics? E.g.: How many users do really need 32GB RAM on their MBP, an option not available before, but now a big failure if you read comments, blogs and articles about Apple. I bet its a tiny minority that is truly
limited by this constraint. But still, everyone is complaining.
