Calling Trump racist or a Nazi isn't effective. It's preaching to the choir. You don't convince his supporters, and you alienate the moderates that believe Trump is moderate like them.

This is deliberate. Trump deliberately made himself the motte-and-bailey candidate, so both moderates and extremists feel Trump is on their side. He's done that through double-messages and lying, so that the moderates came to believe that Trump was lying on his extreme proposals, and the extremists believed Trump was lying on his moderate proposals. Even his VP choice served that goal.

By calling Trump names, you're setting yourself up to be seen as unfairly strawmanning him, therefore reducing your credibility among the people you most want to convince. You're also setting yourself up to be seen as slyly using words as emotional hand-grenades ("nazi! bigot!") to shut down discourse, rather than actually believing these labels. Through that, you cede the moral high ground, not because you're manipulative, but because your target audience believes you are.

Hillary Clinton paid consultants millions to help her convince the public, and even that didn't work. Throwing around labels it hopeless. Regardless of whether you honestly believe those labels, they don't work anymore. Go on at your peril. I don't know what the solution is. Wider involvement in the political process, repeal of the Electoral College, and redistricting all seem like better ideas. And then, propose a positive vision, not just criticism of the other side.

Edit:

I'll be clearer: you're right. Do you want to be right, or do you want to win?
A gap year is pretty uncommon in the US.

I will admit I did it to save money, although it was kind of forced on me via military service. Different cultures I guess, in Germany somebody not relying on their parents/the state is seen as a good thing.
DotNet core is both cross platform and is in the custody of the DotNet Foundation.

Of course Microsoft has the majority of the Foundation members, as they are paying most of the DotNet bills, in the end, but most of DotNet is open these days.
1) it's a temporary ban.

2) it doesn't target muslims, it targets people from failed states

3) it is a continuation and more intense version of previous travel bans passed by the Obama administration

4) isis has repeatedly said that they are actively sending sleeper agents to Europe and America posing as refugees
To try to confuse and disarm partisan Democrats and legitimise by comparison - they clearly had that line about it being Obama's list prepared.

Plus you've got to start somewhere, they had plans to expand the list. Remember Trump would have preferred to ban all muslims, he was quite explicit about this.

I'd like Americans to think all road lead to them because we offer the best destination. Presently we think all roads lead to the US because they do, but we've forgotten why. We think that is just the way of the world. We need to pursue the solid, innovative research in all fields and disseminate that accordingly.
Yoy're right. Democracy Now reported We've bombed hospitals, weddings, even an American citizen. It also looks like we've been at least indirectly arming ISIS in the region. I watching to see if there will be more revelations about that.
Normal working hours changes based on the project I'm on. I often work with people in a timezone that is 12 hours off my own. In that case one of us ends up on a 10pm call at some point. I actually prefer 7am-4pm but found that would just lead to 7-7 as "work", more likely useless meetings, usually creeps in later. Now I just start at 9.

I have been there 6 years ago for one week as an individual volunteer. Officially the maximum time for an individual volunteer is one week but if things goes well you can extend it. There I've been on different workshop that you may not always be able to choose as it depends on demands from others workers. On the first day, I've been building a roof for a future workshop with wood tile, then I have helped some mason building the castles walls for 2 days. The last 3 days I have spent them doing stone-cutting for the castle.
Most of people that work there are passionate about their work so it is communicative.
What I really enjoyed there is that sometimes I really felt like I was living in the middle age during a few minutes.

For non-french speaking people I would say just go there I'm sure you'll find people speaking english that will help you, it should not be a problem. Here is the page about volunteering:

Apologises, I mis-remembered the rule -- it is only C++ types which have a non-trivial destructor which cause an abort when you pass them to a variadic funciton.

HOWEVER. This is still undefined behaviour. nullptr is an object of type std::nullptr_t. When you pass it to execlp, it just gets pushed through as a bit-pattern (as with any type passed to a variadic C function), and there is no guarantee what comes out looks like a "true" (void*)0 C-style null pointer.

EDIT: On further inspection, both g++ and clang++ on mac (and I'd guess on linux) choose to pass 'nullptr' to variadic functions as an 8-byte all-0 value. That makes sense -- it makes it easier to implement nullptr I guess if you treat it as a null pointer! But, that's not required behaviour by the standard, I could make nullptr internally be any mess of values I like.
Eh, it's a fun thing to think about, especially knowing it will never happen. Texas fantasizes about it all the time. Every few months there's some kind of map being posted here about how to split the US into different countries or re-draw the state borders or some other fantasy map. It's just a fun daydream.

I live in Michigan and several times we've had people from the Upper Peninsula try to get support for them to create a new state, ignoring the fact that they would be creating one of the poorest, most uneducated, and most unpopulated states, and it'd never be allowed.

It's a symbolic gesture to say "I don't agree with X policy". the UP of Michigan does it to protest Lansing tax policies, Texas does it to protest liberal federal policies, California does it to protest right-wing federal policies. And everyone knows full well it won't go any farther than a protest.
I strongly disagree. In fact, I'm of the opinion these days that if you can't communicate effectively and proficiently over text, you're in the wrong field; at the very least I'm going to question how much you are "with it."

There is nothing stopping a completely remote company from having "jam" sessions between developers. Is there any solid evidence that working in an office together yields a better work product? We see plenty examples of products that are built by completely remote organizations, and no one has ever pointed to them and gone "man, if only they worked in a face to face situation this would be so much better!"

A company I work for remotely would love to bring me over and pay me at the market rate.

However, that's practically impossible due to current immigration process and H1-B scheming, caps, paperwork, expense and what-not.

It's much easier to get a similar job in EU country, if you have required (IT) skills. Ironically, EU is the forefront of the current migration and refugee scare.

So this could be a good thing at the end.

Even the term bravery can be contentious. For example some might call a multibillionaire taking a few hours from his Saturday to join a protest at SFO an act of bravery. Others might find it a nice thing to do, but ultimately insulting to conflate with bravery.

But this is HN after all, it's a relatively self selecting and privileged bubble. One man's bravery is another man's minor act of inconvenience.
That's more of an op-ed piece than a proper news report. Even the author admits that no evidence has been found of Wahhabi organizations funding ISIS recruiting.

TLDR:
* Households earning <$30,000 were significantly more likely to vote for Clinton.
* Households earning $50,000-$99,999 were a little more likely to vote for Trump.
* Other income brackets are more or less the same.

> If you don't want your employability to dry up once rockstar ninjas become commonplace enough that the demand bubble for them pops,

This is the crux of your argument, and it's debatable whether this will ever happen. My feeling is that rockstars will always be rare. I don't think this is a function of supply and demand but rather just human nature.

I personally could be a rockstar if I wanted to. I bet a lot of us could. I just don't care to organize my entire life around my work. It's not that I don't know how to do it, there's no magic trick about it, it's not some rarefied thing that only one in a million can figure out.

I just want to focus on other things, not vomit code at feverish pace all day long. I don't think anyone but the most driven among us ever will.

Rockstars are not created by market pressure. Therefore there is no asset bubble for their services waiting to pop. You and I can safely sit here and dream up ways to lift up the entire profession because it won't get stolen out from under us by ninjas.
I never understood why these webpages can't have like, 4 lines of CSS to make them much more readable. Preserve the older aesthetic I guess?
If one wanted to assess the relative merits of the respective perspectives, one could consider whether the list of nations affected and unaffected corresponded with evidence of relative security risks, what the opinions of people tasked with securing the country were on its likely efficacy, and of course whether Trump's circle discussed the order with those responsible for executing it in order to ensure it was clear and enforceable or purposely kept the vaguely worded text of the order from them until they were required to implement it, with the inevitable result of confusion, a legal challenge and people whose right to enter the country changed in mid-flight. And timed the announcement for Holocaust Memorial Day.

Then one could also take into account many of his critics aren't remotely globalist and some of them have invested significant political effort into trying to destroy the very foundation of global organisations like the EU.

I think based on the above no reasonable person could conclude the argument his primary focus was security has as much merit as the argument his primary focus was to cause maximum chaos to upset liberals, enthuse the elements of his base most excited by anti-Muslim gesture politics and test the loyalties of his colleagues in Congress and border agencies.

>You have people working full-time who cannot afford the living. You have one of the most expensive and unreachable for many healthcare systems. You do have degressive taxing systems. You have much smaller middle class that you are used too.

These are all very, very real problems. The problem is, they're not solved by voting Republican, but a lot of people simply think of themselves as Republicans. So there are a lot of people who voted to wreck everything rather than to fix their own problems.

It seemed pretty obvious to me that the author was referring to one particular version (christofascist) of homeschooling.

For positive experiences with homeschooling, Astra Taylor's essays on it come to mind https://popularresistance.org/the-unschooled-life-astra-tayl..., https://nplusonemag.com/issue-13/essays/unschooling/.

It seems to me however, from armchair reasoning, lacking any motivation to research this further, that the former version would dominate and be the more public version of homeschooling, given that it co-opts into a popular American agenda with a focused message and mission.
Don't you think this is massively inefficient. Nobody can buy all the brandable domains, and there would always be more coming up. A $100-200 profit on your $10 domain for someone who will build stuff over it, seems good for the formation of a sustainable community driven solution. Its just stupid to think that your domain will fetch you millions unless its a dictionary word with searches present. Any thoughts?
Employers need to take folks like this into consideration when setting their workplace policies, such as to what degree to allow flexible hours.

There are always trade offs. Thinking specifically about workplace hours, having at least some amount of time everyday where you know everyone will be in the same place physically has some major benefits: knowing you'll have a chance to pair with someone, having some overlap where you get to joke a round while making coffee, perhaps eat a meal together, draw on a whiteboard (each of which have virtual alternatives that aren't as good IMO). But if having any such constraints at all means you miss out on 5-10% of really smart creative people, is that too large a cost?
it was not as simple as you make it sound.like to go through the Ardennes.
Thanks for the tip. We've changed the order in README and added compile from source, hope this makes it clearer. Docker is definitely not a requirement for running SiriDB.
The reason why we've used Docker in README is to show the full possibilities of running SiriDB in a cluster environment.

As for the other time series databases, our focus is entirely on performance, scalability and no downtime.
We are anything if not constantly chemically altered. From the food we eat, to the drinks we consume, to the things we inhale.
Only anecdotally. My initial hiring is for three months in the office minimum. That's for acclimation of the kind of workflow/procedural stuff they should learn and general SOP for the company. After that, we offer working from home/remote on a per person consideration.

Some make the cut, other's can't handle it.
Very disappointing. I reached the bottom of the page and there was no solicitation for Medieval Castle Building services.
In the 1990's in Gwinnett County, GA, you could not enroll your child in school unless he/she had a Social Security number. Non-citizens (including illegal aliens) were exempt from this rule. I considered declaring my children non-citizens as a minor protest, but really didn't care to make an issue of it. Would today's hysterics classify that 1990's policy as hatred, bigotry, and racism agains the (then) largely white, legal citizens of the county? Or would it simply be selective enforcement of the law? The fact is, the executive branch always practices selective enforcement, and the range of emphasis on some policies can vary wildly from one administration to another, and seemingly arbitrary exceptions can be made. In my opinion, Trump is delivering the revised emphasis on immigration that he promised during the campaign, and so far is doing so entirely within the law. People are free to react as they will, but I do hope they learn to recognize selective enforcement in all its glory, as a concept separate and distinct from the over-emotional labels now being applied to it.
Well Obama was smart enough to act an outsider (the "change candidate" to get elected (and then also re-elected), but then also keep the status quo as an insider to keep the job. Hillary couldn't act an outsider to even get elected.

Maybe he is trying to beat the current executive order record holder? Trump did just kick him out of the Whitehouse.

This is helpful as I assume this means that they'll be able to take in large numbers of refugees. It seems like Saudi Arabia is very intent on keeping themselves safe from attack, so it seems a geographically close safe-haven is an ideal situation for those that would otherwise have to brave trips to Europe or the Americas.
Dependability is getting your work done on time (this includes attending meetings about said work, etc...), and being able to quickly address issues when something breaks. Everything else does not really matter. As a manager, I don't care if someone is on Facebook or playing a game every time I see them, as long as their work is getting done. The logical conclusion is that remote is just an extension of that philosophy. I'm not in the business of babysitting adults and never plan to be.

I wonder if the people who are so against remote work, are the concerned they don't have the skill set to only be judged on output?
Oh boy, not this again. The majority of the electoral college voted for this. That's how both Trump, and Hillary campaigned. To maximize electoral votes. There is no way to predict how it would have turned out, if it was based on popular vote.

If you truly believe that, your opinions are severely lacking some level of realistic perspective.

Trump ran on making all of these things worse.
You mean that they have some "private benefactors" in the Gulf? Sure, but that doesn't mean Saudi Arabia is funding them. Saudi Arabia is part of the coalition that is bombing IS.
The current order has a 90-day time limit.

After some Iraqis that got admitted into the US were found to have created an IED when they lived in Iraq, Obama added new "more stringent vetting" to Iraqi immigrants, and it added a month-long delay to new visa approvals for Iraqis. The administration at the time would not admit it was an immigration block, just a delay.

If this is actually a temporary stop to figure out better vetting, or just pointless posturing, or a more long-term block, nobody outside the White House knows for certain.
There is nothing wrong with homeschooling. You're taking it out of proportion. I had difficulties with bullies for a few years, and my parents took me out of school to home school me. I benefited from this reset-- learned a lot about myself during that time (this is when I self-learned about tech & hacking).

Homeschooling is a much safer environment to learn. State-run schools have drugs, violence, and often teachers who don't want to teach anymore.
