To clarify: we're talking about being able to operate things.

If you had to choose between being banned from using any computer for the next 20 years, or being banned from operating motor vehicles for the same time period, which do you think would disrupt a typical person's life more? I mean, how would you even apply to anything other than an entry level job without being able to submit your CV online, or use a word processor? Think of all the professions you couldn't do at all: doctor, accountant, etc.

Even in places like sub-sarahan Africa, losing access to the computer-that's-a-phone would be a major impediment.

In contrast, there's lots of people who haven't driven a car in the last year that are perfectly well integrated into society.

That only works because HN mostly isn't about politics. There must be a name for this paradox.
You're shifting the goalposts, from the ridiculous assertion that Democrats destabilized the Middle East to "both parties have had bad policies in the Middle East." But let's run with it.

Let's say that Obama killed 5k people with drones. This is a large overestimation, but let's compare.

GWB killed over half a million Iraqis for no reason, and counting. He's indirectly responsible for the rise of ISIS in a way that no other President or SoS is.
It helps in three really important ways:

1) You don't have the right to counsel in immigration hearings. There are several organizations that provide free legal aid.

2) Immigrant communities are scared and need to know their rights, and have a trusted source of information. There are unfortunately a ton of scammers who prey on scared people.

3) These organizations are a helpful intermediary between vulnerable people and government agencies, police, etc.

Is it safe to assume all these networks have been pwned by, at a minimum, the Russians, Chinese and Israelis as well as, in all likelihood, a not-insignificant number of tech-savvy criminal syndicates.
That was more informative than your previous post :)
Thanks, this is actually interesting (I was born in the Soviet Union)
The whole point is that it isn't discrimination against Muslims. It's discrimination against nations that happen to be majority Muslim. But there are a ton of nations with even more Muslims than the nations on the list, and they aren't banned.
OK, fair enough about Trump. Easy for me to say since I don't like him and didn't vote for him.

That said, it does seem like Bill Clinton's actions were worse. He paid a ton of money to settle the Jones lawsuit, IIRC.

1. Depends on your distributed storage. If you use clustered file system your argument is void.

2. While true I fail to see how that is relevant. What part of my described flow would be broken?

3. While true I again fail to see relevance. Are you just listing characteristics of symlinks? A field in a database could exist with a filepath pointing to a non-existing file as well.

4. Sure. I was describing how to avoid the counter and magic number, not the database.
> If minorities viewed Trumps statements as dangerous to them, wouldn't you expect fewer minorities to vote for Trump than, say, Romney?

Not necessarily if they also viewed Clinton far less favorably than Obama; support of one party by any group in one election vs. another isn't a sign of absolute support for that party's candidate, it's a sign of relative support of that candidate compared to the alternative.
Maybe, but that is what makes apple apple. They could also focus on pushing their mac line and lose all their top talent who want to work on something inspiring, and become the next Hp, a respectable hardware company that no one cares about the future of.
Already they hemorrhage talent to sexier projects like tesla.

Also, I don't think they will change for anyone or anything. Many of the executives have witnessed firsthand the death and resurrection of apple by Steve Jobs and seen the formula work again and again, from the iMac to the iPhone. They truely believe that they are either going to make products that makes a dent in the universe or go bankrupt trying.
Trump has implied in twitter that he'll use the army and national guard to deal with the problems in Chicago.

As you said, "As we all have limited time". Mostly I'm not learning anything without having a use case for it in mind before learning it.

When I have an idea to build something, I start researching which technologies exist to solve my problem. I spend quite a long time comparing different solutions. I check the activity for a technology on GitHub, StackOverflow, etc. I also check the google trends.

Once decided I which technology I want to use I start learning it and write a blog post about it at the same time.

Mostly I then don't complete my original idea but I end up with a dozens new ideas.
People in the US have been outraged since Bush's response to 9/11. To torture, to Guantanamo, to black sites, to the invasion of Iraq, to drones, to all manner of things. If you're going to cherry-pick items, be honest about doing so, or come up with a supported thesis as to why your chosen points are different from all these others.

Or, as I would put it, the universe at large is simply vastly richer than our limited intuitions, a natural consequence of the limited range of physical properties that supports human life.

> Level 4 may work on a sunny day, but a small change in rain or road conditions could downgrade the system to Level 1.

This isn't the way it works. If a car says it can do "Level 4 on a sunny day" it means when you sit in the car and engage the autopilot (and it says it's safe to engage), then no human intervention will not be required during the course of the trip. If conditions change, the car will be parked without human assistance and wait for help (what happens next is outside of the scope). You could be sitting in the back seat, or your kids could be in the car alone on their way to school.

"Level 4 on a sunny day on some pre-certified highways" is ok. "Level 4 in San Francisco traffic" is also ok, and much harder. "Level 4 unless it starts raining and we'll deteriorate to Level 3" is Level 3, not 4.

This is the definition of autonomy levels from SAE, and they're pretty strictly defined.
Wait. Did you just tell him to "read the rules" because he keeps telling other people to "read the article"? Why not try obeying the rules yourself, for once.
So...just because Clinton isn't as great as Obama, that leads minorities to vote for someone who "obviously hates them"(as per the anti-Trump narrative goes)?

Who do you vote for if you're a working class parent and you really, really, really don't want your children to earn less than you did at their age, but would prefer not to vote for a leader that the media seems to think is racist and homophobic?

Because that's a tough decision to make. You might decide that the media is wrong, you might decide that your kids are the most important thing, or you might decide that principles are worth more. Either way, it's not simple, it's very complicated.

I would honestly appreciate to see a bit more fact & figures instead of anecdotal evidence.

If it were to happen, it's probably for the better. CA is outgrowing its population and cannot effectively and simultaneously serve urbanites and the more rural aspects of the population well. Jeffersonians will get their representation in the US congress and Californians will continue their urban agenda without having to pretend to think about the more agricultural and rural aspect of the state.

It would make national elections more interesting --whereas now CA is uncontested and neither Dems or Reps show up except for the Dems who show up for the money.

The vbox dependency is gone but Docker for Mac still runs in a virtual machine (because it has to); it's just now running in a HyperKit VM [1], presumably with a very lightweight linux image. This is akin to switching on Linux from VirtualBox to KVM. It's faster, but it's still full virtualization, with all the pros/cons that brings ( rather than simply kernel-enforced separation.

For services (like mysql), though, I agree with you fully. Docker is a wonderful solution in that space, because the savings justify the overhead. For wget and jq? Not so much.

I think it's short sighted; the administration is throwing a bunch of grenades up in the air counting on distraction and wearing people out. The reality is the easiest way to have flicked off this booger was the election, and that's over. Dealing with it is much harder, much more expensive. So you have to triage which battles you're going to fight, and how. Don't count on the replacement appointees being any better, and don't count on multiple rejections in a row (it never happens, and not because they become more politically agreeable), because literally there's another important item that will be on the agenda and getting sucked into a cabinet nominee black hole is not a hill worth dying on.

But it's true, men have borne the brunt of war in antiquity and in modernity. There is no sexism and frankly it's disheartening to hear people reach that far when the facts stare you right in the face.

If we're going to take things to their logical conclusion then we'll have to accept re-inviting WWI into our collective consciousness -- an entire generation of young men were be wiped out then.

The language is important because it exemplifies a state of total war[1] where the citizenry is divided into combatant and non-combatant, and all things considered that usually means men -- all young and old -- and everybody else are separated. Once separated we have a go at each-other and the last man standing wins.

The term "military-aged male" offers insight into what we will have to face and hopefully whenever you see that it will be sobering for you.

You seem to imply that science causes people to make mistakes. The opposite is true: people make mistakes and generate stupid ideas with reckless abandon. Science is the process of putting those ideas to objective scrutiny, and validating or refuting them with evidence. Stupid doctors came up with the idea of a lobotomy, science refuted it as a bad idea. You blame science for the origin of the idea, which is missing the point.

You should absolutely seek medical treatment if you suspect you have been exposed to CO. I'm not trying to make light of that. My point is simply that CO is not actually as "clingy" as some in this thread are making it out to be.

I am a paramedic. We carry a portable CO meter on our "BLS bag" (the bag that gets brought in on the vast majority of calls), because more than once a "general illness" call has turned out to be CO poisoning.
The phrase 'virtue signaling' is always meant to convey "public expressing opinions intended to demonstrate one's good character, in a vacuous or shallow way". There's no "usually" about it.

My comment was commenting on someone who wrote (doing a little interpolating here) "It's just Jack(in his role as CEO of twitter) is just virtue signaling, who was commenting on whether Twitter is or is not Twitter is 'shadowbanning' Scott Adams.

It's a nonsense argument, Twitter doesn't shadowban, the commenter is probably also commenting on Jack's very public positions on equality and justice. His public statements are heard by millions. I'm sure he actually means what he says. It's not vacuous or shallow.

Whatever. My point has nothing to do with the LP. The point is that joining a party and donating money are some of the most effective strategies for pushing change.

> That's cost of living, not relocation.

I went through a relocation a while ago, to the tune of about $6k. Far and away the most expensive part was staying in an Airbnb for 10 days while looking at apartments and then waiting to actually have keys in hand for my chosen apartment. Short term accommodation costs much more per night than a long term lease - I could not have afforded a 10 day "vacation" in this insanely expensive city just days after college.

$30k does seem high; maybe it was international shipping for a large house full of stuff?

My allowance excluded "stuff for the new home" (transportation for your existing stuff was of course allowed) and was specific about reimbursable pre/post move flights.
The interesting thing is about voter priorities. We can always argue about different shades of grey. But taking for example your list, I would love to see 1/0 data where people had to make the ultimate choice - prefer to hide the sexuality or have no job. Sometimes forcing people to make a choice and not hiding behind relatives could open the true priorities.
But that's exactly what Google's Customer Reliability Engineering addresses. CRE says to the enterprise customer, if you're willing to bring your software up to Google's standards, then the guy answering the 4am call when downstream screws up will be some of those same engineers who give Google its legendary reliability, and not one of the enterprise's engineers with little experience on GCP.

Those standards are the difference between a hack backed up by sales engineers and "premier support" and a tech manager who never finds out that anything was amiss because all the failovers just worked.
