That's both literally and figuratively backwards.

You're describing a scenario where the relationship between the countries becomes so hostile that we have to worry about what happens if one of us cuts off the flow of talent. But what we should really care about is making the flow of talent so voluminous and indispensable to both nations that relations cannot deteriorate to that point. That's real national security.
> ... that politician needs to be held accountable for his actions.

You do realize in this case the politician's action is saying "if you're going to make money off of somebody's labor, you need to pay them enough to take care of their own family.", right?

I still disagree with the premise of the article, but it sounds like you do subscribe to the belief that fair pay is killing jobs. In that case, I just have to disagree. If automation kills jobs because we don't allow businesses to make billions while their employees collect food stamps, I think I'm OK with that.

The next few years will be rough for many. Jobs are likely to be automated away en-masse, and unemployment will spike. Then maybe enough people will be upset about the situation that we'll see the rise of social programs to help people. Keeping the lower class working multiple jobs to feed and clothe their children isn't a solution.
If you wanted a different engine: Webkit.

Edit: I was mistaken, they both back to Webkit.
Is there something like an "overlay" FUSE fs which pretend to write what you give it but then just discards what you give it and returns the actual file when you attempt to read?

To defeat checks right after writes it could return what you wrote once( or a configurable number of times) but after that just give you the original file when you read it.
>Some virtue signaling is necessary; leaders should speak out;

Surely Fred Wilson is considered a leader within certain communities.
The Haj visas are only open for certain areas of the country - mostly the airport in Jeddah and then the pilgrim trail to Mecca and Medina. There's not much infrastructure there aside from very ritzy / high end hotels that've been being built at Mecca as well, so it'd be a bit tougher to take refugees. Getting them from their origin points to Jeddah as well would be difficult - by sea that's 1080km or so, assuming they're coming out of Jordan's tiny sliver of gulf access (which getting to is pretty rough on its own).
People do that... A better analogy might be like using objective C without the next step libraries.
I agree with his stance on this, and I think Trump and his latest executive orders are awful, but I also think that at this point, "hatred," "bigotry," and "racism" should be excised from public discourse.

I totally disagree.

How else do you want to describe the contents (and spirit) of this executive order?

I think getting into mealy mouthed wiesel words and euphemisms for something that's clearly hateful and bigoted and racist helps no one.
I didn't. Together with most people who have been affected by Bush, Obamas and Hillarys wars (I wasn't though, lucky me) I didn't have a vote.

Trump hasn't started a war yet although I am afraid that might just be a matter of time.
It's relevant because it means that all the people pointing to the choice of countries as proof that Trump is a racist, doesn't really care about national security, is driven by his own commercial interests, etc are talking nonsense - and most likely partisan nonsense at that, since the list comes from the previous administration's border policy. In particular, anyone who claims that only a racist would think those countries are high-risk and uses this to point fingers at Trump rather than Obama is on dubious ground because it's Obama's administration that decided people from those countries were high-risk. Also, bear in mind that this is ostensibly a temporary thing while they come up with a more suitable permanent policy.

There are, of course, reasons why the countries on that list were there in the first place too - mainly recent terrorist attacks in Europe by people from said countries. I imagine it's not quite the list Trump's administration would draw up (there's talk of adding Pakistan, which is an obvious omission), but given how much flack and dubious accusations they received for literally copying Obama's list it was probably politically unwise for them to create their own.
Cool - any plans to include European cities? Digital nomads would like to be able to look up the prices with ease. Also, as a Texan, I'd personally be interested in Dallas and Austin
Also: If you don't find your name on this thread, that doesn't mean that you're a nobody and that your work is unappreciated. It only means that the sort of folks who'd respond to a thread like this in earnest haven't noticed you, which probably isn't a reflection on your value to the {community, industry, world} (select appropriate).
> With easy information, however, news travels faster, and more elaborate plans can be worked out in the same time, and hence it is easier to account for minority interests.

I don't see how this at all explains the fundamental ideological differences between states and how less densely populated area's wouldn't be screwed if the system was changed to just be a popular vote or something similar.

Sure I can hear about how people in the middle states are dying because they have no jobs and are using record levels of hard drugs, but that doesn't mean people in the cities have to vote with them in mind.
For all who question "why not just copy history to new tab?": it is part of the trail design. By saying they are not throwing the tab away they have most probably already done that. This will be another screen to view the trail, like the tab exposé on mac safari.

Minor detail, but the undecidability Halting Problem strictly requires an infinite tape (infinite storage space).

In "practice", if you could call it such, a computer with limited memory becomes a "linear bounded automaton" and the Halting Problem is decidable; cf. http://cs.stackexchange.com/q/22925

Of course, big enough memory can mean that it can be impossible to detect termination before the heat death of the universe - we are talking theory here.
I'm the last person to talk about type theory, but on the max function example:

fn max(comptime T: type, a: T, b: T) -> T {
if (a > b) a else b
}
fn letsTryToPassARuntimeType(condition: bool) {
const result = max(
if (condition) f32 else u64,
1234,
5678);
}
Then we get this result from the compiler:

./test.zig:6:9: error: unable to evaluate constant expression
if (condition) f32 else u64,
^

Couldn't the compiler infer some kind of union type. You don't know the type at runtime, but f32 or u64 is a legit comparision type.
But, in demonstration of another virtue inherent in this sort of simplicity, reader mode handles it beautifully.

So you're saying that the Obama administration set up their list of countries with terrorist activities based on the business interests of somebody who wasn't even running for office yet?

This seems strange to me.

I'm still struggling to understand where this obsession with explaining how Trump got people to vote for him comes from. The real killing blow was the low turnout for the Democrat candidate. Trump only had to beat Clinton and practically nobody (outside the most progressive parts of the US) voted for Clinton.

Trump may have swayed some undecided voters in his favours as a protest vote but all he had to do was rally the Republican voters and make Clinton look so bad the Democrat voters wouldn't want to get her elected.

The question isn't why Trump won, the question is why Clinton lost. In terms of absolute numbers, Clinton couldn't even match the numbers with which Obama was re-elected. She won the popular vote but the popular vote is not where you win the presidency and she knew that.

The voters who should have been Democrat voters didn't have faith in their candidate and I think they didn't even have faith in their party. Trump's election is not simply a weird victory of a Republican outsider, it's a massive defeat of the Democrat establishment.

That's not true at all. Most tech companies, like uber or tindr, are fundamentally aimed at ruining certain people's lives. And even when it's not intentional, it still happens, whether it's a bug that is effectively slander without a guilty party to bring suit against, an ad that infects you with malware that destroys your life's work, or just people being people.

That seems like a very selfish (and petty) response. You can just ignore it, you know.
The demo was credited as 2017, so I don't think you can really use the bouncing ball or Wolf3D as reasons.

You could actually buy a speech synthesizer for the TI.

Yes, the demo is impressive compared to what else was available on the machine, but it actually had a (underutilized) 3 Mhz CPU and pretty advanced graphics system.

The TIs biggest problem was that it came with very little RAM, so you generally had to store application data in video memory or expansion cards, which made the machine incredibly slow.

More info about the demo here: http://hackaday.com/2017/01/30/dont-mess-with-texas-the-ti-9...
Engineers are needed to create the diagnostic and repair procedures but skilled technicians can and should be the ones to implement them.

"Fault detected. Replace Sub-Assembly D, Board 3." is the kind of instruction that can be given to a factory worker to complete a repair. An engineer's time would be wasted performing this kind of work.

Bernie did use those polls throughout his campaign to paint himself as better oponent to Trump, so I do not believe those were without merit. His main argument then was that he wins with Trump every time while Clinton does not. We can of course discuss merit of those polls, but as I have written earlier, it fits with my view of that election and the reasons Donald Trump became POTUS. You are free to disagree of course, this is my opinion, not a fact.
It absolutely is okay for him, you're right. And it's absolutely great that there is such demand for tech right now that people can afford to be so particular about their working hours and their various ways of working.

What I find less great is the suggestion that all employers should "accept your employees for who they are and optimize for their abilities" - does anyone really think that if everyone just worked whatever hours they found most pleasing, this would genuinely result in a situation that was even vaguely practical? What would happen to the people with children who actually find that working 9-5 is convenient because they get to spend a few hours with their children when they get back from work before they go to bed? Would those guys just sit around stuck for two hours in the morning whilst the night owls had a bit of a lie-in, and then have to cart the laptop around with them in the evening so they can Slack their late-working colleagues whilst they're giving the children a bath?

I don't know. Maybe I'm wrong and I'm just a dinosaur (who actually happens both to work remotely and to work strange hours sometimes too).

Believing black and white are interchangeable is a privilege of being white. NO black person is allowed to believe this. Society tells them so, every single day.

Stop, and chew on that for a while. Think about your black friends - do you think any of them believe blacks and whites are interchangeable? Do you think a cop pulling them over, or a person interviewing them for a job, always believes this? No matter how colorblind you may think you are personally, much of the rest of America is not. Equality is theory, not practice. If you step up and do something about it, you have to acknowledge that inequality is real, that black and white are not interchangeable. If you don't step up, you're denying reality.

RNN writes a poem: Feet so sad
Maybe - but I'm skeptical that he will largely be able to follow through with his promises. Many of the big issues we face aren't problems created by/solved by political leaders. For instance, we're not going to quickly turn around job loses in the US because we're fundamentally seeing a shift in the importance/balance of labor to capital. Low-skill manufacturing jobs are never coming back - and there isn't a ready pool of alternative ideas that previous presidents were just refusing to implement (or some nonsense). If a president could solve that problem it would already be done.

That said, what people think is true is - of course - whatever they can be convinced is true. Immigration really isn't/hasn't been a problem, so if the president can build an unnecessary wall and convince people that immigration isn't a problem anymore because of it then maybe we're boned.

I think getting Kakoune UI support into Xi would be a very interesting project…
I understand the Inuit have many words that translate into English as 'snow', same for Aramaic languages and 'sand'. So it stands to some reason that those cultures have a deeper understanding of those things even if they just simply assigned shorter symbols to things that can be described in any other language "soft snow", "sand that drifts and collects behind bigger stones", and so on. But because these symbols exist they can be natively manipulated and reasoned about.

The US has had continuous bombing/droning of Muslim countries for 15 years now.

Most recently, UN estimates of civilians killed in Yemen, many by US-made bombs ( https://www.hrw.org/news/2016/12/08/yemen-us-made-bombs-used... ) exceeds 4,000 ( https://www.hrw.org/news/2017/01/12/yemen-no-accountability-... ), I've seen others around 10,000+. That was an Obama-backed campaign.

I have a lot of respect for the people who have been protesting the entire time. I have a great deal of suspicion of those who are suddenly speaking up.

Does SV care about human rights, or are they more concerned about their continued access to H1-B Visa holders?
Obama was the one who implemented the visa ban for 7 islamic countries. Trump is just continuing the policy and added a LGBTQ clause.

Wow. Dublin is on average €400 euro for a fixed desk. Approximately €250 for a flex-desk.

Including VAT.
I recently had a chat with my direct supervisor. I told him I would like to start working flex time 8AM to 4PM and cut my lunch break to 30 minutes, eventually working 8AM to 4:30PM. He had a talk with his boss, gave me the O.K., I requested it in a written e-mail.

Since then, I come in at 08:00AM every morning, I get two and a half hours of productive work until people start coming in and the meetings start. Then I eat lunch and work for 3 more hours and I head for home. I never care about the looks I get from other people because I CMA.

What I want to say is that, as long as you have a Cover Your Ass document, you shouldn't care about how others negotiated their position.

I also requested extra days instead of a pay increase. Should I feel bad about that also?
Ask HN: Best way to use Android securely?
In particular, I'm referring to the top comment in this thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13516116 where the iPhone is recommended as the best secure option. For those of us who are too deep into the Android ecosystem[1] are there any best practices or measures that can be taken for Android to be more secure? I mean aside from the other items on that list and things like disabling fingerprint identification.

Are there any custom Android ROMs that offer comparable security to the iPhone?

I guess it might be helpful to add I'm using a Nexus 5X with the stock Android from Google - version 7.1.1

1. I'm not keen on re-buying a bunch of apps, plus I hated being forced to sync through iTunes back when I had an iPhone 3G, not sure if that's an issue anymore though.
Why shouldn't people have the patience to define their language before having a discussion? Your last line seems to indicate that you think having unchanged definitions to words is a good thing.

My wife and I define things to each other frequently. We often are saying the same things but confusing each others meanings because of wording.
American = has citizenship. Conferred by the very real US citizenship and immigration service.

That isn't a particularly unclear definition.
Considering the fact that the "welfare state model" is Socialism, I'm guessing here in the US we're going to go with the second option eventually.
Do we really need to “talk” to machines?
1. Less/fewer is a distinction rapidly being lost by native English speakers, so don't feel bad if it's confusing. (It's also a relatively recent rule; Shakespeare didn't follow it, for instance.)

2. If I were copy-editing this, I probably would have substituted in "less" for "fewer", but mostly because as a copy-editor you feel like you have to contribute something

3. The senses are ultimately identical ("fewer applicants than 15% of them" vs. "less of a percentage of applicants than 15"), so I'd say ultimately either is OK.

> Trump is delivering the revised emphasis on immigration that he promised during the campaign, and so far is doing so entirely within the law.

I know, I think everyone knows this. I didn't vote for him because I was afraid he would follow through on his promises, not the opposite. I don't get why people keep bringing this up as an argument in favor of the order. The fact that you promised to do something does not mean it's a good thing to do.
