"Earlier today I spoke briefly with the President about the immigration executive order and its issues for our community. I also let him know that I would not be able to participate on his economic council. Joining the group was not meant to be an endorsement of the President or his agenda but unfortunately it has been misinterpreted to be exactly that.

I spent a lot of time thinking about this and mapping it to our values. There are a couple that are particularly relevant:

Inside Out - The implicit assumption that Uber (or I) was somehow endorsing the Administration's agenda has created a perception-reality gap between who people think we are, and who we actually are.

Just Change - We must believe that the actions we take ultimately move the ball forward. There are many ways we will continue to advocate for just change on immigration but staying on the council was going to get in the way of that. The executive order is hurting many people in communities all across America. Families are being separated, people are stranded overseas and there's a growing fear the U.S. is no longer a place that welcomes immigrants.

Immigration and openness to refugees is an important part of our country's success and quite honestly to Uber's. I am incredibly proud to work directly with people like Thuan and Emil, both of whom were refugees who came here to build a better life for themselves. I know it has been a tough week for many of you and your families, as well as many thousands of drivers whose stories are heartfelt and heart-wrenching.

Please know, your questions and stories on Tuesday, along with what I heard from drivers, have kept me resilient and reminded me of one of our most essential cultural values, Be Yourself. We will fight for the rights of immigrants in our communities so that each of us can be who we are with optimism and hope for the future."

The fact that markets haven't tanked suggests that investors aren't predicting major negative events in the future. That doesn't mean investors are correct, but I would think that if "[b]usiness is figuring out that the Trump endgame isn't going to be good" then it would likely be reflected here.

Impeachment, resignation, death... what's the fourth?
You could likely be linking an association with a trend. Maybe society treats people who have the personality requisite to study mathematics poorly. Thus, over time, both the individual and society 'negatively associate'.

That was my experience, anyway, and I know it has been a historical trend. Some of the best mathematicians were bullied by their cultures, isolated, and thus had plenty of time to work on mathematics.

> I've actually had people tell me 'important people are working for Trump, so how bad can he be?'

I haven't heard that, honestly. Even so, will this move really hurt Trump?

> In fact, research says that social norms are a/the leading determinants of people's behavior. As one researcher put it, 'humans are hard wired to follow social norms'. Most people don't want to be the sole dissenter in a meeting or do something 'uncool', much less stand up to massive social pressure.

True. I meant "normalization" specifically with regards to Trump, not as a sociological concept. WRT Trump, the "normalization" rhetoric poses as a moral imperative but doesn't achieve anything. It's not a strategy. Staying on Trump's advisory team, with every member of that team publicly and directly denouncing Trump's immigration ban (on TV, "open letters" are useless), and forcing Trump to kick them off himself would have been more effective, for example. Why didn't he donate to the ACLU, too?

And how will leaving hurt Trump? He's following public opinion, not influencing it. Your "credibility" point can be addressed simply by having everyone on the board disavow Trump, and criticize future anti-immigration moves, but saying that if Trump wants to help the Valley, they'll work with him on those issues specifically. He doesn't kick you off, great, you can influence him on tech issues. He fires you, great, that'll hurt him.

All Kalanick did was leave Trump's council, and have Uber, Inc. buy Facebook ads targeting ACLU supporters.[0] Just seems like posturing at this point, not action.

> He is not clay, of course, but his policies and ideas can be softened.

What makes you say this? I don't agree and I've seen no sign of it, from mid-2015 until now. Has anyone softened them?

There are two options:

A) Advise him: There's a tiny chance you'll affect his policies, but there's a certainty that you will empower him by giving him your credibility. On a selfish level, he will devour that credibility, because he can only discredit you in return.

B) Oppose him: Your advice and resources will help the opposition slow or stop Trump, and you will give them credibility (which will enhance your own credibility).

I strongly believe B will accomplish far more good than A.

You don't really realize just how much win10 is doing in the background until you try it (preinstalled) on a cheap low-end notebook. It was literally unusable out of the box (which I suspect is why I was able to get mine as an "open box" discount). Minutes of freezes and waiting for anything to open or run. I installed win8.1 on it and everything runs smooth by comparison.
Speaking from my corner of a large organisation, this is pretty spot on. $100-300 is "no brainer". LDAP/AD, OAuth is major plus. Support SLAs tiers are also something we would look for, even in Open Source.

The level of math amenable to apps isn't really what Su is talking about.

I would suggest learning proofs, and maybe pick up some Art of Problem Solving books. Or perhaps working through the foundational curriculum of any decent math program (e.g., algebra, analysis, topology, number theory, etc.).
It can be argued that some algorithms like Random Forests don't impose a generalization penalty as you increase the number of parameters (forests).
It always amaze me how many people is 'discovering' the C switch statement for the first time.
Immigration Ban Volunteer Project
Hi All,

I am an attorney assisting with the volunteer effort surrounding the executive order on immigration. As you have heard in the news, this has caused a lot of panic, fear, and hardship for a lot of people.

One of the problems we as lawyers are facing is that we cannot accurately/easily track flights with immigrants on them that may be detained and/or require attorney assistance to enter or re-enter the country.We are also wanting to communicate important information as changes develop so that we can assist travelers.

To help solve this problem, we are looking for someone or a team of people to assist us in building a website/app that will allow us to assist people. We have come up with a base of about 10 requirements which I will be glad to discuss with anyone interested.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

The open floor plans are terrible in practice, but is there actually any academic literature that says otherwise?

For example:

>...In 2011, the organizational psychologist Matthew Davis reviewed more than a hundred studies about office environments. He found that, though open offices often fostered a symbolic sense of organizational mission, making employees feel like part of a more laid-back, innovative enterprise, they were damaging to the workers’ attention spans, productivity, creative thinking, and satisfaction.

Keep in mind there are a LOT of apps deployed on systems with SELinux with few, if any, tests

Further, the divide between ops and developers in many cases leaves this as an unsolvable problem - it's not the dev's job to do sysadmin, and ops lacks the expertise (or time) to comprehensively analyze the code base

You're right that this makes the app poorly behaved, but if that can't be addressed then... permissive mode it is

> Places are desperate to hire you so do not be afraid to apply at places where you feel you may be a little under qualified.

My automatic reaction to this was "lol what"...

I don't really think most companies are desperate to hire women. I can see companies paying more attention to women (for better or for worse), but desperate is absolutely not the word I'd use. You're still going through the same interview process as everyone else, and having interacted with various people who were applying to the same companies as myself, everything looked exactly the same and acceptance/rejection rates were very similar. It's not like being a woman waves a magic wand to get rid of the many troublesome parts of an interview process that affect men and women all the same.

I don't know if I'd want to work for a company that was desperate to hire a specific subgroup of people, anyway...

I'd take a referral over being female any day.
What Is Spin Rewriter 7.0 All About?
Spin Rewriter is an advanced, web-based article spinning tool which lets you create different versions of an article. You can spin single word, sentences and even rewrite paragraphs.They have been around since 2011, which is
really a long time for an internet marketing product/software. Since then, they learned a lot
about article spinning and making them as readable as possible. They also updated and improved the software several times.
Spin Rewriter is a great article spinner which will save you a lot of time and money. It still takes time to create a good readable article. If you are in need of content to build links to your money site, then I highly recommend you take a closer look at this tool. During the launch of version 7.0 they even offer a 5 day free trial. So you can start using the software for 5 days and then decide if it’s for you or not. Click on the link below to create your account;

Why You Need Spin Rewriter 7.0 ?
We, internet marketers are very busy to work on different stuffs and not able to work on the contents. Usually they made their own daily routine work to monitor the upcoming activities and learning new stuff online. So writing the content is more difficult task for them. As per my experience, writing the content is a very difficult task in the earth for difference niche sites. We need a smart assistant to help on this and to reduce our headache.

While dealing with unhandled enumeration constants you can get help from most compilers; for gcc:

#include <stdio.h>

typedef enum tagCmd { cmd1, cmd2, cmd3 } Cmd;

void doCmd(Cmd cmd )
{
switch(cmd)
{
case cmd1:
printf("Cmd1\n");
break;
case cmd2:
printf("Cmd2\n");
break;
//case cmd3:
// printf("Cmd3\n");
// break;
}
}

int main()
{
doCmd(cmd1);
return 0;
}

Now

gcc -Wall t.c
t.c: In function ‘doCmd’:
t.c:7:2: warning: enumeration value ‘cmd3’ not handled in
switch [-Wswitch]
switch(cmd)
^

Now

gcc -Wall -Werror t.c
t.c: In function ‘doCmd’:
t.c:7:2: error: enumeration value ‘cmd3’ not handled in
switch [-Werror=switch]
switch(cmd)
^

Or rather the following: (if you don't want to deal with a lot of other errors/warnings)

gcc -Wswitch -Werror t.c
t.c: In function ‘doCmd’:
t.c:7:2: error: enumeration value ‘cmd3’ not handled in
switch [-Werror=switch]
switch(cmd)
^

If you put in a default statement then the compiler will not be able to help you here.
so to sum it up short, create table, copy data, rename table. isnt this already tackled by tools created by percona and many others out in market? other than them adding in hadoop to speed things up, what else is new here?
My takeaway was that Snap has 1,859 employees... huh?

Why does a company with a single product, which is a mobile app (so what is that these days, three platforms?) need almost two thousand employees - am I missing something? No wonder they lost $514mil in 2016, that's an absurd amount of overhead for a company with a single, not very cumbersome product.
Yes, but even so, they also have half bridge chips, all the biasing and compensation, the correct diodes etc. The point is, a motor controller chip is more modern way that the old transistor or MOSFET way. unless you are designing some cheapo thing that will be produced in the millions and have to scrape every penny out of the design, it is better and easier to simply use a motor controller chip in my view.
:)
I checked out your site, looks great...Very similar to our setup.

Two things I noticed. Your site can be made more optimized for highly impatient types. I recommend always showing a phone number that leads directly to a sales line with no wait, and a live chat bubble for those too skittish to give you any information.

I always found best results putting the phone number big at the top of the page and again near the contact form. Make it show a special tracked number when users come through ads and the business is open for calls, your regular office number for visitors that didn't come through ads, and a disposable phone number to your cellphone for people that originally came through an ad but tried to call when the business is closed. Make all calls coming through ads go directly to a real person. The justification for all this work is that you already paid good money for anyone that comes through ads so its financially worth a little spam to give them a direct line to a real person. You want your conversion rate as high as possible once you've already paid. If you are a local business use a local area code, 800 # for anything advertised nationally.

For the live chat bubble, make it automatically come up and say something friendly to anyone that has browsed site for more than X minutes or seen more than X pages. Make sure it only shows up when real people are available. Add something near to contact form like "or chat with us now" that automatically opens the bubble and notifies a real person of an incoming request.

In my experience you'll get around 20% of initial contact from calls and maybe 30% from live chat. A decent percentage of these will be people too lazy, paranoid, or old school to fill out your contact form. Email forms are increasingly used for annoying stuff like permission to view the rest of an article, so many users are weary of giving you a direct contact without knowing if their please will go into a black hole. The ability to contact immediately, through phone and especially live chat alleviates these concerns. It makes you real, legit in their minds, immediately.
Comments from the previous thread moved here. Since I can't delete the above, consider it retracted, and thanks sctb.
What are you running: Windows Home with no AD?
Kudos!

VSC is an "redefined" and high hackable (largely thanks to the rich nodejs ecosystem) editing environment which you can do everything as you like. So, to pin it into an editor or an IDE makes less sense.

more technical imagination: the project lead Erich Gamma has long history works in the field of Eclipse and definitely knows the importance (and pain) of the code editing to a programmer. Then, I (and we) can expect VSC would go beyond the Eclipse and hunt the heart of coders from other IDE products some day:)

final shameless insert: recently I release an extension to provide Swift editing environment[1] to try to bring Go/Rust like experiment for Swift server side development. Now it works for both Linux and macOS.(I hope to investigate the possibility for windows 10 WSL after release 2.0 coming soon.)

> To generate excitement for X-Men: Apocalypse, 20th Century Fox ran a Sponsored Lens campaign that let users turn themselves into the iconic characters in the upcoming movie. In one day, people spent a collective 56 years playing with the Sponsored Lenses, which also featured the mutants’ powers. They also incorporated the Sponsored Lens into Snaps they shared with their friends, which yielded over 298 million views for the campaign and greatly amplified awareness and anticipation for the movie. The campaign resulted in a 13 percentage point increase in brand awareness, 7x the mobile norm, as measured by Millward Brown. More importantly, the Sponsored Lens also drove a 25% lift in theater-watch intent, over 3x the mobile norm.

Maybe the X-Men filters didn't get you to watch the film, but it certainly worked on others.
> But to say that logic and reasoning is the exclusive realm of academia

How does "more receptive to logical argument, understanding in their analysis, and more committed to fundamental principles" transmutate into "exclusive realm"?

Like it or not, academics are better at critical thinking than others. Not perfect, but better. It's something they practice frequently in the course of their careers. Being insulted by that is like being insulted because someone says that mechanics are better at manipulating components than others.
> cortana is actually pretty nice too. And as they slowly tie it into xbox and their other platforms it will just become that much more useful.

Those are some of the things that I find most annoying. I don't want my OS tied into other platforms. I don't want a local search to also be an online search. I don't want a file search to also be a Windows Store search. I don't want a dozen opportunities to link my local user account to be connected to my Windows Live ID. I want the OS to provide a convenient environment to run my software in, and no more.

WSL is cool, and I'd like it on my Windows 7 machine. It's a lot nicer to use than Cygwin, and it's enough that I'm not planning on setting up my Win10 netbook to dual boot Linux. The generally lower memory requirement is nice too. Other than that, 10 feels a lot like 7 with more things that I want to disable but can't.
The iPhone is not software.
Thank you, that's one Framework I want to try!
> They're well aware of that, and if you follow the insider previews, every new build is moving more of the features into the "new" way of doing things. Is it annoying there are two places? Absolutely... but the alternative is not changing anything and waiting 5 years while everything gets rolled up.

The Control Panel started transitioning to a 'browser-style' interface with Windows Vista. 10 years later, I'm still waiting for everything to be 'rolled up'.

In both cases, the old paradigm was 'fine', and a bifurcated UI made for a worse experience than either alternative.

In the current state, tons of settings are only available in one of three UIs, where all three are named identically and serve the same purpose. EG: To change the name of your computer, you might go, Settings > System > About > 'System Info' --> System [Vista] > 'change settings' --> System Properties [Win95].

I'd rather have the Windows 95 control panel workflow to this mess.
If it takes 5 years, they'll take 5 years. There's no reason to make the system worse in the meantime.
