Ah! A breath of fresh air on HN.

>He would be a moron if he didn't pay the legally required amount

Precisely. Why would anyone pay more taxes than they're legally required to? He'd be in jail otherwise. You see, people are caught up in complexity instead of asking simple questions such as these. It is however so blatantly obvious that folks attacking Trump on such issues don't have anything concrete to discredit President Trump.

>>He's a billionaire who inherited around $750 million

Again, WRONG! So blatantly obvious this is a lie. He did not inherit that much and even if he did, why is that a problem for anyone? Trump's voters weren't voting for his flaws (which were largely exaggerated by the dishonest media), they were voting for him because he was the only one who seemed to understand just how dire things have become, not just in America but globally. The left has largely been all about status quo and the vilification of producers.

What has emerged now is that the left cannot be placated any longer. Time for radical action has come. Immorality, indolence, abortions, illegal immigration, egalitarianism, fundamentalism/Islamic radicalization and social welfare have no place in 21st century civilization.

It is time for normalcy to resume and voters all over the world from France To Italy To America have realized that only the right can provide this normalcy. All the socialist parties in the world are losing and this is a clear indication that the pendulum has swung for the better.

EDIT: Here's a list of world leaders likely to emulate the brilliant things Trump is doing when they come into power:

Norbert Hofer - Austria,

Marine Le Pen - France,

Frauke Petry - Germany (with a very impressive movement called Alternative For Germany which has taken a cue from Brexit with their anti-EU mantra),

Jimmie Akesson - Sweden,

Andrej Babis - Czech,

Beppe Grillo - Italy,

Geert Wilders - Netherlanders,

Nigel Farage - United Kingdom

The question (and it's obviously an Earth-2 counterfactual), is how the dirt on Sanders would have compared to the email server calumny on Clinton.

But it is not equivalent. Hiring local has many beneficial effects over outsourcing - increased labour demand increases wages, the local pool of talent and technology is developed, and the money you spend will in turn mostly be spent in your own economy, growing it and paying taxes to your government.

You could argue that these secondary effects do not outweigh the higher cost, and I'm sure sometimes that would be true, but this is a much weaker and less general argument.

Well OK, but the most useful thing about securedrop is that you can use it to leak documents that are already in electronic form. You can't really send files from a burner phone and having to actually meet someone to give them a USB drive is pointlessly inconvenient.

For actual communication that might identify you, sending a plain text file over something like securedrop is much safer than using a burner phone to call an endpoint that is pretty much for sure under heavy surveillance. If you don't know about metadata then you probably shouldn't do this until you are done with the required research.
The whole point of the major distributions - particularly those with a release cycle - is that they do integration testing.

I think two Debian policies interact poorly: heavily modifying upstream sofware, and not doing their own security review. To my mind the Debian SSH key vulnerability was a predictable result of this policy combination (which Debian did not see fit to change AIUI) and similar issues are to be expected from Debian going forward.

That is not the point.

Why is Clinton owing the wealthy for their donations a problem? Because it makes her more likely to yield to their demands. Corruption creates a pay-to-win game.

But putting the wealthy in power cuts the middle man, worsening the situation: now they don't even need to provide donations, they are either on the President's cabinet, or are the President himself!

> "drain the swap" was the slogan

Populism at work; there was no need for it to be honest. It is a true issue, but someone that points it out does not automatically become an outsider of the system. He was very much part of the system, and was open about it, bragging about his political donations.

It's not weird. They are 1) the US's closest allies, who we enable to repress their own populations, and 2) Trump probably has major business ties in those places, as do most wealthy westerners.

The only thing that matters now is Trump's approval in the next election.

If he keeps his voter base happy and is seen to be actually doing more things right than wrong he may even pick up more votes.

I honestly can't think of one Democrat at the moment who can take Trump on. They would have to be whiter than fresh snow and 'straight talking' and pro-economic growth and sensible immigration enough to swing Trump supporters... quite an ask.
We are discussing hiring local workers, not outsourcing. The local workers just happen to be brown and born in a different place.

The money will still be spent in your own economy. The choices are threefold:

My preferred scheme (1):
Low income taxpayers keep $30k and spend it themselves. Government pays for $70k from lowest bidding software engineer (possibly an Indian).

Fergie's preferred scheme (2):
Low income taxpayers don't get to spend $30k on themselves. Government pays $100k to a non-Indian software engineer.

My alternate scheme (3):
Low income taxpayers don't get to spend $30k on themselves. Government pays $70k to some Indian software engineer and then gives $30k to some random high income non-Indian person.

Your argument does not distinguish between (2) and (3). In both cases, money is transferred from taxpayers to high income colocated workers who will presumably spend it in the economy.
If the map is correct, it looks like it could be bypassed by entering through Jordan or Kuwait. I wonder if the designers know about the Maginot Line [0] (extensive and costly fortifications on the Germany / France border, which the Germans simply bypassed by invading through Belgium)?

>Or the ever popular "I don't get paid enough for this!"

The danger of criticising this behaviour is that it is putting the onus on the employee to earn their money rather than the employer to pay their employees. Doing so is actually anti-employee, and given that most of us are employees - self-destructive.

While I fully agree people should have some self agency to earn their wage, it is naive to think companies don't hold most the power in the employee-employer dynamic wrt salaries. When they can't force competition amongst applicants to drive down salaries, they simply move their operations to foreign countries to use cheaper migrant work. The migrants are happy to work hard because they're seeing an effective pay-rise so it's a win for them. It's also a win for the employer as they're paying less for work.

So the loser here is the domestic worker. On a personal level, how would you feel if I told you to work harder at a pay cut? In most professions, this has happened - wage inflation has not kept up with the economy in both the US and UK so people have seen their effective quality of life eroded over the past 20-30 years. Governments exist to protect their citizens from precisely this kind of exploitation by business. But protectionism and regulation have become dirty words nowadays...
It may be good overall, but not necessarily for the US worker in particular.

The thing is, tech worker market is global and large companies always have the choice to outsource plain and simple.

The H-1B visa trick is a win-win between foreign worker and local companies (loss/draw for local worker and loss for foreign companies). Local companies get locked-in resources in a friendly timezone, foreign worker get US experience and higher than average salary. Without that trick, the large company will outsource which mean probably rising salaries in India or wherever (we are talking abuse here, you don't outsource for 1 guy in a odd position like what H-1B should be about, but for a team of generic tech resources, yes). Except for companies that were using H-1B for what it was actually designed, that's not going to change much in the US.

Now, the US government can add some trick to prevent outsourcing, Trump after all is a big fan of protectionist policies, with the usual caveats of such measures.

robotic movement is maybe not exactly an examplary domain, because biologically a good share is controlled by the parasympathic nervous system, ie reflexes. Maybe robotics needs to get that right first with a strong focus on the mechatronics before the software becomes relevant, just as bipedal movement requires from a baby to build up the muscles.

On the other hand, maybe evolution of a nervous system is analogous to some form of neural learning, but on a huge timescale, and maybe the scale is proportional to the searchspace complexity.

edit: Well, reflexes are also propagated by neurons, but on a short circuit and thus readily modeld by PDI etc. Noticing the similar (?) reliance on differentials and coefficients, the advantage is that a subset of PDI has perfect solutions.

I have worked remotely for the better part of the last 15 years. I am now looking for a new job and am applying almost exclusively to positions that are several 100km away, if not on a different continent. The reason: the potential employer already understands that this will be a remote position. Any employer closer than 150km is just too likely to ask for "can't you just come in", and anyone 10 minutes from here will most likely not agree to remote work at all.
> Americans actually have a very strong affinity for authority. Most will put up with quite a bit especially for something they perceive as high paying.

Americans will put up with it even when they're not being paid. Probably more so. The security theater of the TSA is a perfect example of that.

> Maybe you're including the whopping 85,000 H1B visas or other temporary work visas for NON-immigrants?

Are you telling us that at a given point of time there are only 85,000 people in the US with H1B visas? In 2009, there are 650,000 H1B holders : 10 times the actual number [0]. J1 visa holders are about 300,000 per year [1]. Even the most conservative estimates makes this 1M legal residents apart from Green Card holders. Even the most conservative estimates, makes legal residents 2x the times the illegal residents. The actual number will be even higher.

Feel free to continue ignoring the evidence.

Plenty of unskilled workers are from other parts of the European Union. I doubt refugees make up significant numbers of skilled workers in the EU.
Also the swiss do more technical degrees than academic.
This doesn't sound like a higher education problem - it sounds like an education problem. If adults can't pass a "screening test geared toward a ninth-grade education", we're either teaching the wrong things (useless subjects with no practical applications) or we're teaching it the wrong way. Higher education is too late to solve this.

Requiring degrees, I agree that's a problem. People should do degrees for academic purposes. And while there's undeniably an association between "smart"/"clever" and "degree", the real issue is the feature creep. Put simply, because of lack of other standards, either from education or industry, a degree is now the easiest way to determine if someone is, well, reliable/hard-working without taking a gamble. While I'm sure it isn't perfect, licensing like lawyers (the bar in the US) or electricians (at least in the UK) have is a potential work-around for this.

As an aside, I strongly believe a gap year between school and college/university is underrated. Everybody I've met who worked for a year or more beforehand had a different approach to college, and got more out of it. It also gives you the chance of discovering non-academic pursuits you enjoy, and maybe deciding college isn't such a big deal along the way. Gap years are a huge missed opportunity for both individuals and industry.

Let's suppose one of the proprietary software components is a special secure bootloader. If Silent Circle disabled that one component, as they would be rightfully allowed to do, the phone is a brick.

I should also point out the claim that the baseband was intentionally bricked is unsubstantiated. We don't know if that's actually happening. Or if it's happening, we don't know if it's intentional.

The percentage of proprietary software on the phone — be it five percent or fifty — is orthogonal to the point.

Of course it's a bit of an apples to oranges comparison.

An interesting question about CRCs is whether you can implement them efficiently. CRC32 is possible with some help from the CPU (CLMUL as mentioned, or complete instructions for specific polynomials, like crc32c); eg. on Haswell you get to 14-16 GB/s with a CLMUL approach on CRC32. That's obviously much faster than the hashes I mentioned. With the zlib implementation, on the other hand, you only get about one GB/s and there it's really close to B2b already.

Table-based approaches (classic zlib implementation, or slice-by-n, which needs n-times as many tables) would not work well with longer polynomials; the tables would outgrow L1/L2 cache sizes rather quickly. I'd have to think a bit about the tableless CLMUL approach.

I don't know about America but here repairing expensive machinery is the job of engineers, not factory worker. The latter's work involve pushing button, soldering, assembling etc.. but not something that require critical thinking or problem solving. Automation is still either 1. more expensive than manual worker (in case of FMS) or 2. only applicable for large scale/high value added manufacturing.

I designate a separate memory control group for the browser, and set both `memory.limit_in_bytes` and `memory.memsw.limit_in_bytes` to 1.5 GB. Then the browser is launched within that group.

The tools are the standard cgcreate and cgexec.

When the browser depletes all its memory allowance, I use killall to kill the tab processes leaving only the chrome running. I refresh the tab I want and carry on.

Might seem convoluted, but works extremely well in practice.
