LSD heavily interacts with many neurotransmitters, including dopamine (particularly the D2 receptor). Is it possible its unusual time distortion is related?
I think you are overestimating the power of laws and the strength of institutions like the courts. All those people were lynched for a century in the south, and it was illegal every time. Americans of Japanese ancestry were put in camps in WWII, no thanks to the courts. Under GW Bush, the NSA conducted illegal surveillance and the U.S. government illegally kidnapped and tortured people.
It's different in that this directly affects their companies. This is hurting their own employees many of whom now cannot return to work and restricting the pool of workers they can hire from in the future. It may only be a little pain now but the more the USA restricts immigration (especially with no regards to actual skills these immigrants possess) the less competitive silicon valley will be with the rest of the world.

Neither Apple nor Google seem to be applying many of the principles outlined in that article.

To me this is just a sign of broken management. Apple has a minimal product line. Not being able to refresh products regularly is unacceptable. Furthermore, they don't have a complete ecosystem anymore which has an impact on the whole experience.

Google is also broken, but in a different way. They are stuck in a perpetual cycle of release-abandon products, with some insane duplicities. For example, Hangouts/Allo/Duo.

Google has discontinued the much praised Google Reader, plus replaced open Google Talk by closed Hangouts. Also released Allo & Duo, confusing everyone. A royal mess.

Apple is unwilling to update Mac Pro & Mini frequently. They have also discontinued their screens (and third party USB C ones are not working well) and also discontinued all their routers.

I'm afraid this won't help anyone in the U.S., but it will suggest what we in the U.S. could learn from Mexico.

I live part time in Mexico. I had a problem with Telmex (the phone company). Five times the said they would come and fix the problem, but they never showed. I walked down the street to the Profeco office, signed in, and in half an hour someone from Profeco was on the phone with Telmex laying down the law.

Profeco carries the legal force of Mexico's federal government.

The next morning at 9:00 A.M. Telmex was at my door and didn't leave until the problem was fixed.

Some might think that the U.S. has all the answers, but we don't. I wish we had something like this in the U.S.
I love to bag on Comcast/Xfinity as much as the next guy, but, honestly, I would lump all of the cable and DSL companies together at the bottom of a latrine as far as customer service and 'value' go.

However, I'd be willing to bet that in most areas Comcast is probably your most reliable and fastest choice- unless you can get fiber, then always do that.

I was spoiled in Portland for years with Verizon (then later Frontier) fiber. When I moved to Seattle I was shocked that the best I could do was Comcast.

After 5 years with them I had one incident that involved an actually shitty customer experience that was saved by one of the best customer support experiences I've ever gotten anywhere (thanks Joe in Seattle Comcast Tier 3 tech support).

I've been using my own modem since before it was cool, so I never got hit by the monthly rate hikes or the 'free wifi' hotspot you can't disable.

If I didn't have fiber in my area now I'd begrudgingly get Comcast (if only just for internet) as my next choice.
Swap makes a lot of sense for a consumer device, where I'm opening a big spreadsheet, then putting that in background to edit this video.

It makes less sense for server workloads, where you usually don't have huge chunks of inactive memory.

Lawyer here. Almost everything in this post is incorrect.

> Depends on the President currently in power. The judiciary has no real authority to enforce anything. The Obama administration and the Bush administration before basically made up the law as it went along in some cases.

Nope. Both had executive orders blocked by the judiciary.

> I don't actually think the ACLU has any real standing here, to be honest.

ACLU is not the plaintiff. They are merely representing the plaintiff.

> You can't sue in US federal court on behalf of non-citizens.

Yes you can. Happens all the time. [Edit: I suppose, technically, you can't sue 'on behalf of' non-citizens. But that's a total red herring. The non-citizens can sue on their own behalf, as happened here.]

> They have no standing.

This is inaccurate, and misunderstands concept of legal standing. 'Standing,' as the term is used in U.S. law, essentially refers to whether the plaintiff is actually suffering an injury, caused by the challenged conduct, that the court can address through a lawsuit.

Under the proper use of the term, of course someone has standing to challenge their own detention. (There are complexities about the scope of the substantive rights of citizens and non citizens, but this has little to do with standing.)

Edit: I forgot one!

> In the US you can find a federal judge to block anything. You just shop around for a circuit with a politically friendly judge and file your suit there.

Again. No. You don't get to choose your circuit--you have to sue in a circuit (district, actually) that has jurisdiction. In this case, there really was only one choice: the Eastern District of New York. And when you sue, you don't get to pick your judge. They're assigned at random.
Want to elaborate? I can think of at least two different ways to take your comment. (As it is, it's not adding much to the discussion.)

Well, since we only have one president currently, I don't know what point you're trying to make.

Also, some of us did protest the unreasonable expansion of power by previous administrations.

I don't see what anything you're saying has to do with my original comments.
John D. Rockefeller used all kinds of illegal, anti-competitive tactics to put other companies out of business. He manipulated politicians and bankers of his time to implement his illegal schemes. It was so much corruption that the congress was forced to create anti-trust laws to break up his businesses. In summary, he was one of the biggest white collar criminals of the world.

He also paid a bunch of people to write favorable stories about him, concerning his supposed "frugality" and "industriousness". If you don't believe, read a very interesting and revealing book written by one of his close associates: "Frenzied Finance", by Thomas Lawson.
For me swap is an error. I would rather a server crash then go into swap and run slow.

If your servers are at 75% CPU and start swapping you are screwed. Time to start adding servers. In this day and age you are wasting a lot of money to be sitting around waiting for swap.
I think I missed that you were a citizen when I wrote that comment, never mind!
> And signed into law by Obama himself.

In lieu of "blasting" you, can I ask how this is relevant? Does this change something? It doesn't seem the same to say a country is of concern vs. effectively suspending all visa entry including permanent residents with zero notice after campaigning on banning Muslims. Are these two things comparable?
It would only be fair though, wouldn't it. The professionals are the ones complaining about the selfishness of the people who voted the current administration in. So, it would be a kind of fair for highly paid professionals to go through the same wage stagnation and competition from foreign labor so they may better understand why people voted for the current admin.

On a different note, if it we not for globalization, yes, third world countries (which many like to say are exploited by the larger more mature economies) would be even worse off than they are today --mostly relegated to very light manufacturing and natural resources and agricultural products -had globalization not occurred. It's not exactly a zero-sum game, but it does like to approach equilibrium meaning those up will go down and those at the bottom will go up (we have the smallest proportion of global pop in extreme poverty.)

It seems like a GOP talking point is that they can completely ignore political opposition and democracy. It's just wishful thinking on their part.

That's a pretty weak argument.

The ACLU undeniably supports Second Amendment rights. They do disagree with the Heller decision, but they don't actively oppose it. They do support the same fundamental argument behind the Miller decision that is cited by gun owners as a pro-gun rights position[0].

In their own words, they tend not to take Second Amendment cases because those are already handled by many other, much more well-funded organizations. Whereas the ACLU spends a lot of its money on causes that aren't supported by as many other groups.

[0] The Miller decision is cited by both gun rights advocates and gun control advocates for different reasons, but the part of the Miller decision from which the ACLU derives its own position is one which is fundamentally supported by gun rights advocates - the ACLU just happens to take a less expansive view of that decision.

Impure drugs is certainly a big problem, and is the most compelling reason for legalization and healthcare instead of incarceration and war.

Only a single order of magnitude is not enough of a safety margin, depending on the substance, and how easy it is to administer the substance. Is alcohol's LD50/dose ratio an apt comparison? Does alcohol require a higher administration energy than heroin? It seems like it would be easier to "accidentally" consume half a gram of heroin in a small amount of time, as opposed to "accidentally" consuming 100 beers (or 2 handles).

Drug users experiment across this mere 10x range effortlessly, according to your source:

> As usage increases, however, the doses get much higher

Apparently, they get to 100x. Crazy!:

> The Swiss found that users offered unlimited quantities would, on average, max out at between 300 and 500 mg

This seems to support my view. I can't help but imagine a dystopian future (past?) where they start selling a soda called "HeroHera" which has trace amounts of heroin in it.

Anyways, it seems pretty dangerous for brains to depend on the naive-LD50 of heroin. Forgetting to consume it after one has an established a dependency must surely be an issue. How do we know that a potential widespread dependency on heroin and a requirement for widespread heroin sanctuaries won't actually cost more than the war on drugs?
I think that the new behavior at zero (documented anywhere?) is a discontinuity. There should be a separate setting for mlocking code pages.

I'm an Iraqi Canadian with a Muslim name, so I know a little more than the average person about this issue.

I can tell you that what Trump is doing is unequivocally worse than what Obama did. One of the things Obama did when he became president was make it easier for nationals of several Arab countries (including Iraq) to travel into the United States.

After the 9/11 attacks, the Bush administration required travellers from a number of Arab countries to disclose their travel plans at entry. It also placed limitations on their movement within the US. Obama and the Democrats waived that requirement. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of this law, and I couldn't find it now. If you can find it and comment with the name, I'd greatly appreciate it. (see update below)

What Obama did in 2015 might have been negative for Arabs who come from the nations affected, but he still left the process better than he had received it.

Also, he didn't campaign on banning Muslims from entering the US, didn't thoughtlessly keep out Green Card holders and dual citizens, didn't say "Islam doesn't like us".

There is no comparison between Obama and Trump.

Oh, c'mon. The scope and impact of the EO is totally unprecedented; the President obviously felt unconstrained by precedent, unintended consequences, and arguably even the Constitution.

Rise in overdoses can be attributed to dealers adding fentanyl (an extrememly strong synthetic opiate) to their product. If a particular salesman has a product which people have reportedly overdosed on will flock to them as they must be selling a stronger product. Another scenario is where the chemical isn't there in the first place and the dealer is simply mixing fentanyl with a filler, due to it's extreme potency (a dose being less than a milligram), making even a small mistake in the mixing can lead to many overdoses especially with tolerant users used to taking larger amounts.

AFAICT it's unclear whether the Republicans would, or even could, do away with the Senate's power to filibuster a Supreme Court nomination over this.

At any rate, everyone on Trump's short list of nominees seems basically no worse than Scalia, so things shouldn't change too dramatically for now.

This is true to some extent of course. But it seems to me - based on the amount of debt his businesses carry - that it is the prestige and power that is associated with money that drives Trump.

I think that his tax returns are a huge distraction. When they leak, what will change? Everyone already knows he doesn't pay much tax. His fans see that as a good thing.

The only thing that could change out of it is if there is a line item "Russian bribes". But that's unlikely, especially since I tend to think his ties with Russia are philosophical, not financial.

From the 2011 NYT story (which was on A1):

> The Obama administration has required new background checks for visa applicants, reacting to a case in Kentucky in which two Iraqi immigrants were arrested on suspicion of ties to an insurgent group, according to American officials in Baghdad.

You're surprised that there weren't nationwide protests for "required new background checks for visa applicants", versus an outright ban against green card holders? Maybe because most people don't know of a current visa applicant from Iraq, but many people know of green card holders -- i.e. people who have been living legally in the United States -- who are now banned from re-entry.
