> That was what irritated you most?

I've been engaged in stories with bad endings before. It's not the best but I understand why it happens. It's not going to completely sour my experience with the whole thing.

What I got was like if two final episodes of Game of Thrones were broadcast: one for people who have HBO through a cable bundle, and one for cord-cutting HBO Now users where more fan favorite characters die and the outcome for the realm(s) in general is worse. They don't tell you about these different broadcasts beforehand, so you get what you get and then are free to feel horribly betrayed at your leisure as you discover how your experience of the finale of a story you've been invested in for years is now irrevocably tainted.

Then, they release a Blu-Ray set that has both endings and some deleted scenes, and expect everyone to forgive them? Fuck no.

How fucking hard is it to make a competent display? I feel like the A/V market is ripe for disruption. Sell a quality line of displays with no "smart" crap and a relatively low-cost receiver with no "smart" crap, a usable front-end with tons of A/V features and a dozen inputs of different types.

This must be harder than I think it is, because no one is doing it.
"Changing the location or positioning of either the router or the display should resolve the issue," it said.

I bought their smaller 4K monitor last week and so far, except for a not perfectly fitting usb-c socket, all is great so far. I love it.
Maybe, but don't forget to factor in the relative quality of the jobs that are being replaced. I don't really have a strong opinion on the matter, and it would be a bit hypocritical of me as an amazon prime customer to complain about the working conditions at Amazon but not every job is equal to any other.

Furthermore I wouldn't be surprised if many of these new jobs ended up being automated in the near future. The free market still hasn't figured out a solution to that particular problem last I checked.

> We can't seem to build anything good. No good roads, no planned cities, no safe drinking water, frequent power cuts... the list just goes endless

And who to blame for this? Human greed which led to corruption and crony capitalism? There are always funds for everything in India like roads/bridges/housing for poor, but the roads built don't last for a year and the poor doesn't enjoy the housing, rather it's the middle men(dalal).

>But a city like Bangalore was a heaven to live in during the times of Nehruvian economics. Today you reach home from office with a lot of dust in the mouth.

Come on, I mean what was the population in Bangalore in Nehruvian times and now? The growth comes with lots of challenges, it's just that there was no plan by any politician to scale the city needs as per the growth. 7 years back when i visited Bangalore, it was the pleasant city with lots of trees, and now half of them are gone to accommodate metro and other things.

The funny thing is, these are exactly the things I think about while on facebook. By being online for almost two decades I've developed a 6th sense for sketchy services and the whole UI of Facebook screams "SCAM!". The periodically reoccurring messages harassing you into uploading a picture of yourself, the prompt to denounce people who you believe are using a fake name or the vaguely described privacy settings don't help either.

I only log in when I get an e-mail notification for a message I've received. Some time ago you could simply reply to that e-mail but that doesn't work anymore. Furthermore, you can't say: I just want a notification in case of a message. You have to accept some other stuff as well. I've told my spam filter to delete every e-mail from facebook that doesn't include "message" its the subject.
Sure, but doesn't that prove the point? It doesn't matter how legitimate your protest is, just that you have leverage, which the #deleteuber crowd did.
The paywall is not the only entry requirement though. You can't click 'Pay' and enter. It's more in line with academia discussion boards that require university mails.
There is some truth to this, however Google Data Studio can also hook up to Postgres and Mysql data stores making it a bit more than Google-specific tooling.
2016 in Review – BugMuncher Blog
I've been using Python since version 1.4 or 1.5. Since that time, they've made many changes, but Python has continued to be a great language. Of note, during the 2004 to 2005 timeframe, they released Python 2.4, which brought a number of speed improvements, multi-line imports, function/method decorators, the ability to invoke modules from the command line, built-in sets, generator expressions, new sort utilities, new string methods, etc.

In the face of all the great things happening in Python during 2004 and 2005, why would you abandon it due to a change in their VCS, especially when SVN is so similar to CVS?
Ok, it looks like I wasn't clear enough: when I wrote anaesthesia, I meant general anaestesia (narcosis). (English is not my primary language.)

Narcosis for filling a minor cavity seems like something that should only be necessary as a last resort.

I wouldn't have a problem with local anaesthesia, but it just wasn't necessary in this case.

I don't know how old you are, but old medical theory stated that babies, and by extension small children, did not feel pain due to their nervous system being immature. By "old theory", I mean no more than 30-40 years... Needless to say, the attitude towards that has completely changed since then, and dental care for children is now commonly done under general anesthesia when necessary.

As for children being potentially struck for life by that, you are absolutely correct. It is also valid in adults, as I have been unfortunate enough to witness first hand during my younger years.
I mentioned downvoting and wasn't downvoted. I think that's just the community telling you that they think you're wrong.
> First, the article doesn't discuss 'whiteness', so your comment is something of an irrelevant narrative imposition.

It discusses "outsider" status, and WW2 represented a massive debate about who was "trustworthy." Historians have pointed out that in many cases these camp approaches were in part appeasement tactics for the rather large fascist movements growing in America. Hell, WW2 was the mark of the last unsuccessful kleptocrat-fascist coup against America lead by the leadership of Chase Manhattan bank in concert with the actual German nazis. It nearly happened, too!

"Whiteness" is A Word for it that fascists don't like, in part because it speaks to their "white homeland" ideology. I rather enjoy using it to point out the other side of what they're polishing is in fact a turd.

> Second, it's intellectually dishonest to imply that this had anything to do with a malleable concept of race. Italy and the US were at war during WW2,

AND YET! Mysteriously! Japanese were specifically targeted for the harshest treatment, Italians the second most, and the fewest German Americans ended up in concentration camps. What's more, it "wasn't about race" but the principle tie for many of these people to these camps was their heritage and if their looks conformed to a stereotype!

Like you yourself said:

> and the additional scrutiny was very clearly based upon ancestral nationality, rather than ethnic, lines.

Honestly, what the hell do YOU think this means? If someone looked the part, as defined by their "ancestral heritage" they had their property seized and their entire families put into war-crime level imprisonment.

And you're going to say, "This isn't about race, it's about ancestral heritage." This just in: That's one of the primary components of race and the racist discourse in America. How many times did we see the Trump campaign supporters point out that if only 3rd greater generation Americans voted, the RNC would win the presidency every time?

You are eager to call it "intellectually dishonest" and maybe that'll work in your christian-sponsored micro-targetted facebook ads and now-banned subreddits. For everyone not looking for an enemy to blame it's the observable and objective facts. None of the concentration camps America set up were fun places, but the ones for the least white-looking people were objectively horrifying, and the seizure of property against that class of people was much more widespread and damaging. More asian-looking people were dissipated than every other category combined.
I'm coming to this late, but I do want to point out that the US takes 1.2 million immigrants legally into the country every year, in a process that has essentially nothing to do with the H1B or employer controlled work visa programs.

These immigrants are free to choose what they study and where they work. High tech doesn't like that, because smart educated people who have the right to choose can find better options than staring at a computer screen looking at JIRA tickets in a big loud open office, in a field where they get elbowed out after age 40.

So high tech has lobbied for an alternative immigration system, that they control though their HR departments, where they get to decide who gets to come here and the circumstances under which they are allowed to remain.

I'm honestly bewildered when I read arguments like the one you just made, that opposing the H1B visa means you're opposed to immigration.

I think that immigration has been a marvel for the US, but that pretty much every system we've tried for bringing in immigrants who are not free to choose their job has been an unmitigated disaster. The H1B is hardly the worst of these, but because it doesn't preserve the freedom of the individual, it is ultimately unfixable. It must be replaced by a system that allows the immigrant to decide what to study, where to work, how to live.

It actually turns out we have a system like that, it's called immigration, and we take 1.2 millions people a year under it. From the way Silicon Valley talked it, you'd think that entire path didn't even exist.

I get most of the personal data concerns, but what exactly is the issue with targeted ads?
The huuge difference once you understand its implications is that you can:

return function().then(() => ...).then(() => ...)

...and the caller of you function can decide to chain even more stuff after, in the simplest case. Most obvious benefits, though not the biggest, is that you simply can return a promise ad drop the ugly extra callback argument that you function needs to have. For example:

function foo(cb) {
async.waterfall([
function(){},
function(){},
])
}

becomes:

function foo2() {
return function()
.then(function(){})
.then(function(){});
}

...and this way the logic ends up where it should be, in the caller, not the callee!

Another simple to explain benefits are the fact that you can .then() a promise 10 times and what it does will only happen once, and then the other times you'll just consume the result. You don't need to care if something
is (a) already computed, (b) in the process of being computed, (c) scheduled for computation later etc., you can write the exact same code for all cases. Because you're working with values that have dependencies between this, not with processes that need to happen in a certain order.

The bigger benefits show up when you write more and more code and you see how beautifully it all untangles with promises.

And the fact that once you learn promises you can carry further the knwledge to other async patterns like co and async/await (they are all understandable in terms of promises).

Do yourself and everyone you work with a favor and move away from async please, especially in a team promises make everything so much easier to understand! Same advice of you're writing nodejs libraries: have you functions return promises instead of take callbacks! Drop the intellectual lazyness and grow beyond "async by callbacks", it's the worst coding style ever. And everyone will be able to convert almost instantly from promises to async/await since the logic is similar, just syntactic sugar comes over it.

Indeed. Protectionist trade policies will basically achieve one thing: higher salaries for software engineers. So yeah, go for it. But that's not who voted for Trump.
In my opinion it's one thing to acknowledge that Islamic terrorism is an issue; it is another to hand-wave this into an entire billion strong community with a simplistic framing.

Fitting a United States perspective into your criteria seems difficult. Using this Wikipedia reference (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrorism_in_the_United_States), there have been only three terrorist incidents in the United States that have killed more than 100 people. One was September 11th (Islamic extremists). The second was the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 (right-wing extremist). The third, curiously enough, appears to be Mormon militias (the 1857 Mountain Meadows Massacre). Note, the Tulsa Race Riots of 1921 could possibly fall in this category depending on the death estimate. A rather oddball collection there, not enough to generalize for sure.

Recent terrorist incidents in the United States with >=10 deaths have been biased towards Islamic terrorism, sure. However, going back to 2001, the perpetrators were: a person born to Afghan immigrants in the US (Pulse nightclub shooting); a Pakistani couple, one a US citizen and one a permanent resident (San Bernardino); a person born to Palestinian immigrants (Fort Hood); an African American who converted to the Nation of Islam (Beltway shootings); and September 11th (15 from Saudi Arabia, 2 from the UAE, 1 from Egypt, 1 from Lebanon).

Aside from September 11th, all of these incidents involve US citizens. And even if in the greatest of stretches we include the nationality of the parents, it is worth noting that (including September 11th) none of the nationalities that committed these terrorist acts are on Trump's 7 country travel restriction list.
Strange; I've done the opposite. I engage with Facebook now more than ever.

I'm 38 years old. I plan events with friends, I get to see their children grow up, new jobs, comfort them when they lose a parent..

There's never been a platform so emotionally engaging. It makes me feel in sync with their lives, even when I haven't seen them in a while.

It's such an amazing platform.
> It's a bit silly, since Obama did get a lot of criticism for this stuff, so the only argument for hypocrisy is that he should have had more.

That's a fair point, right? People weren't skipping work and class to march in the town square when Obama bombed Yemen and other countries, but they'll do it when Trump makes a (insensitive, idiotic, broken, heavy-handed, unjust) change to the visa process?
The only problem is sure you can open up your economy, get cheap spare parts, and assemble them here.

But what really happens is in this context. And especially if you are just starting out you really end up being somebody who is very good at assembling things, not really that good making them.

This has to some extent happened with the software industry. While the services industries have done good. Product industries have suffered and continue to. What we really have in India are largely me too products from the Bay Area.

You can open up your economy as much as your want but you will only get as far as your human resources are skilled and trained. Beyond that your human resources are now slave labor to a more powerful economy.

There were plenty of debates during the last election. And all economist even the ones supporting the ruling party(Surjit Bhalla) were saying that last thing we want is to build Indian economy on the back of its laborer.

You've already had a lot of replies but I'll try to add some value.

Many people seem to imagine 'Made in China' means that the iPhones were shaped into complete products from unformed raw materials entirely in China. In fact China mainly just does the final assembly of components which (apart from some very low value components) are mainly made elsewhere. For example did you know that many of the Ax CPUs designed by Apple in California were actually manufactured at a Samsung foundry in Texas and shipped to China for integration into the phones? The same goes for several iterations of the Gorilla Glass. Historically the US has actually captured a sizable chunk of the value in iPhone manufacturing (though it varies by model).

Assembling iPhones in India is about very low wage jobs for unskilled labour in order to avoid punitive local market intervention by the government. India's economy is hamstrung by a highly interventionist economic policy which triggers equally punitive economic sanctions from other countries against Indian exports.

Raise an import tax (or other barriers such as subsidies) on phones made elsewhere? Ok, but you'll get hit by retaliatory market interventions when you try to export phone made in India. It's issues like this that's why iPhones for the global market are manufactured in China, not India. If the US starts interfering in trade that way they might win back some low wage assembly jobs in the US, but at the cost of risking retaliatory trade barriers against their own exports such as the high value components in the phones that are made in America, and the high paying skilled jobs that supports.
So many of us spent our formative years punching out BASIC programs on old Apple, C64, etc hardware. BASIC, despite its notable flaws as a language, instilled a passion for technology into so many that burns to this day. We all recall our first "Hello World" on those machines and the excitement that followed as we began to understand the almost limitless world that technology opened up for us. It'd be interesting to see BASIC make a comeback as an educational tool, to create that same spark it did for us 20, 30, even 40 years ago.

Most reports seem to be focussing on selling price for iPhones in India. More than price, manufacturing iPhones in India lets Apple have Apple Stores, and sell to customer directly.

Currently, Indian customer has no access to Apple Store level of shopping experience. Yet to come across Apple Reseller Stores who are at least 10% as good as the Apple Stores.

Benefits to Apple:

1) Keeps full profits. No margin wasted for reseller

2) Offers world class Apple Store experience / customer service

3) Ability to offer refurbished products (currently they cannot)

4) Educating customers in the regional language about iPhones (will make a huge difference)

5) No Price Anchoring effect (resellers will cross sell android phones at 1/4th the price with higher margins / incentives)
