What OS are you using? I'm on an x260, I had issues on Ubuntu 14 and 16, but since moving to Fedora Workstation 25 I've had an extremely pleasant experience from a hardware/docking point of view.
4 years ago the 9th Circuit Appeals Court ruled over a court case regarding DHS searching phone and laptops at the border, including demanding passwords to unlock said devices.

The concept is so old that not only did both side do it, but the previous administration has a court case judged against them. What we should say to the current administration is what the court said to the previous, which is that the 4th amendment applies at the border (https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130308/13380622263/9th-c...). Password for social media, as with password to unlock the address book of a phone, cannot be demanded without reasonable suspicion.
It's not fully about buying or renting either. Pricing effects both equally
They're idiots if they thought Trump wouldn't follow through on his pledge to deport illegal workers.

However, it should be noted that protectionism will also help American farmers, as produce from Mexico will become more expensive.

Should also add, allowing illegal immigrants to work benefits no one. Not American workers, not Mexican workers, no one. By bypassing labour laws and minimum wages, it allows for exploitation and also drives wages down.
Honestly as a sysadmin who has been trying to push FOSS in the workplace, I can say the number one barrier is simply lack of neuralplasticity in older people and an unwillingness to learn new things. Combined with a lack of backing from management, it's a recipe for an overworked IT team that is probably already getting crapped on politcally and budgetarily, which is what I suspect has happened in Munich. While I think in most cases technically Linux can meet the needs of the workplace, it's the cultural grip of Windows that is the most difficult to break.
Europeans are much less likely to be retail investors, I'll buy.

But there's very little stopping Europeans from buying Vanguard funds or ETFs, so this is a cultural phenomenon, not because of any legal barriers.

> ... You've got millions of homeowners 50+ who are expecting to use that asset value to live on...

Wealth and cash flow are two very different things. I can't tell you what the future holds for sure, but a few things.

If they have significant equity in their home, chances are good that they have significant equity in other places as well. I don't have data to back this up, with the exception of my role on the board of a my employer's 457b plan.

Timing, more than anything, has more to say on any matter in retirement that we give credit. One doesn't know when cancer hits. One doesn't know when COPD hits, and you have to move to Arizona. One doesn't get to pick when the market bottoms or tops.

Housing is a lousy investment from a purely numbers point of view. I became an owner very reluctantly and it has cost me dearly. Taxes have gone up 15% every year. While they house ages it breaks and I am on the hook for everything. $75 in weed/bug stuff today... next week it will be something else, and the week after. I've spent multi-thousands on this thing outside of mortgage that I will never recoup... also time and it pisses me off.

My sweat equity will never be recaptured, really. I am only 36 once, and I spent a good three months last year remodeling a bathroom (due to mold) and missed a ton of good run days, time with family. BUT I saved a bunch of money doing it myself!!!! Don't care, laying tile sucks ass. never again.

I can't wait until home ownership becomes a relic of the past.
It tastes best with some kind of catastrophic injury to the olfactory centers of the brain.
They're just getting you to incriminate yourself. The standard of proof for excluding someone for lying on the forms is quite different from convicting them of an actual terrorism-related crime.
Tree Style Tabs for Pale Moon 27.1.0
Robot pickers are out in force since 2003. Even for delicate fruits such as grape, raspberry, and strawberry fields.
The reason for those is to then quickly provide a way to invalidate their visa and have an administratively easy path to kick them out without having to go to court and such. Terrorist activities doesn't mean blowing things up, it could be open to all kinds of interpretation (donated money to some organization, protested and was arrested for rioting, went to a black-hat conference which had talks about subverting security systems of power plants etc, etc).
Thanks for sharing. This list just happened to be the first thing I found that looked really useful, when I went looking for a list of QC tools earlier. Like a lot of the people in this thread (apparently) I don't know much about QC right now and am looking to get started learning about it. But since actual quantum computers are a bit hard to come by at the moment, I figured some kind of simulator(s) existed.

"Kooky" is a matter of perspective... the fact is that the use of various radioactive elements in a number of consumer products was a common and pervasive issue.

Hell even dentures had uranium in them until relatively recently, for a 'more natural glow', don't you know. Homeopathy is kooky, but that doesn't stop more people from using it now than were alive just a few hundred years ago. It's kooky, but it's also very popular.
I used to have this problem a TON, and it drove me absolutely batty.

One thing I've found that's drastically cut down on the frequency (possibly eliminated it? not sure) is this: Always wait ten seconds between display state changes. Waking the computer up from sleep? Wait ten seconds before you dock it or connect an external monitor. Undocking it? Wait ten seconds before putting it to sleep.

Also: never make more than one state change at a time. For example, don't put the computer to sleep while docked, then undock it. Undock it first, wait ten seconds, then put it to sleep.

YMMV, but like I said: I think this has eliminated this problem for me. I've been using this process for some months now, and I'm doing much better at the uptime game (28 days since my last restart, right now).
Exactly. Yet if you make it illegal to hire a non-citizen and you have millions of laborers you create a black market of cheap labor for unsafe business practices.

It's better to legalize and regulate something than to make it illegal. Make the minimum wage to hire a non-citizen the same $15/hour for a citizen and poof all the illegals now compete with the citizens at fair market rate.
How much CO2 could these pump out?
Renting a small flat in downtown Reykjavik using AirBnB was quite reasonable (I think around 95 USD/night).

Car rental, gasoline, and food were all pricey. If you drink, check the rules for Duty Free at KEF - I believe it's local tax AND duty free, so you can buy when you arrive and carry into the country for much less than buying elsewhere. We didn't bother as we were only planning to drink a few bottles of wine.

I would say everything except option (a). additionally, it's possible that data streams are drying up into the NSA (i dont think they are), but the NSA already has enough to incriminate literally every human on earth for any petty thoughtcrime

most likely, I say, is that the data in NSA Utah is basically like a walled off test dev that only a few special people can query for currently important things. their main job is to determine how best to query it in the future

and then each agency maintains a prod database of its own data its collected to oppress everyone. very rarely would they ever get NSA data
That probably only works if you're entering a country that you're a citizen of, and not otherwise.

BTW, legally speaking by US law, it's a lot easier to force someone to give up their thumbprint than a password. So whatever you do, don't go through an American border with touch-id unlocking your phone.

Really sad you're getting downvoted, as this is one of the smartest answers in the thread that identifies the main reason for rising house prices.

With respect to the semantics of the system, a Smalltalk object is supposed to be a full Turing machine (sometimes universal, but often times special-purpose), which is the same thing as a process.

The Constitution is on it's way to becoming a dead letter. There's nothing wrong with rebooting the Republic, many countries go through such disruptions. I'm not saying just do it, but if the existing political consensus collapses we won't benefit from trying to back to how things used to be.
> It's very intrusive and I'm against it, but it will be quite effective.

It will be effective initially, but people will catch wind of this and start to purge their Facebook profiles prior to entry. I'm certain that cheap online "Facebook cleaning" services will start to pop up very soon.
I don't think they work for less than minimum wage, nor do they hire them explicitly as illegal workers (instead, they turn a blind eye when their documentation doesn't line up).

How many Americans dream of doing farm work? We have some of the best farmland in the world, but our workforce has mainly moved up the tech chain to more skilled and hence more valuable labor. It is a contradiction.
> It's better to legalize and regulate something than to make it illegal.

And there's already a system in place allowing for legal immigration.

That being said, too much immigration, legal or not, has significant social and economic effects. Tolerating illegal workers and unlimited immigration are both bad ideas.

I'm glad. It would be a shame to challenge students with the realities of our past. College isn't about challenging students, it's about creating a safe space to ensure that upper middle class pathological narcissism is fostered and that students never mature into adulthood.
If they get a person's password, the largest privacy violation is not to that person. It's to all that person's friends and family who shared private material.

We can discuss all we want whether it was wise for anyone to share, say, everyday normal photos of their children or themselves on Facebook.

If you think they shouldn't have shared normal, everyday, family photos on an online service, sure, fine, I don't know what to say. But let's say they did do so, which is pretty normal.

Are they entitled to some privacy from whatever pervs the DHS hires?

Remember "they" is the friends and family of the person visiting the US, not the person themselves.

Many of these friends and family will be US citizens, so arguments about differing rights for non-citizens, whether valid or invalid with respect to privacy rights, don't necessarily apply in those cases.

> John C. Calhoun is a person without mention of whom any history of early 19th century America would be incomplete.

No one's stripping him out of the history books. Why does he deserve the honor of having a college named for him?

> Or for that matter, much insight into or sympathy for, the differing views of others, let alone others from different times or places.

I guess I can't pass up the irony of this statement. I grew up in the South. I'm old enough to remember a time when Confederates were seen as noble. Old enough to have people tell me quite sincerely that "those people had it good as slaves."

Attitudes have changed since then and in part because enough white people attempted to learn about and gained sympathy for a group of people very different than themselves: the enslaved black Americans of the 19th Century. Without the understanding and empathy which crossed cultural and racial boundaries, there would never have come a time when Calhoun's name was considered a negative by the majority.
To me, this kinda sounds like the "realizations" after Brexit where all people these voted (in favor) and then, shortly afterwards, were basically like "Oh shit! What did we do!?".

For someone to be surprised -- today -- at President Trump's actions and attitudes regarding foreigners, well, I suppose they must have been asleep in the days preceding the election.
That's for Canada. In the US I have seen a lot of business checking accounts accept the few bunch of checks for free. ACH transfers are unlimited.

They even fee cash and coin deposits. I have never had a bank charge a fee for cash (or coin) deposits.

I think that you are slightly overestimating how much the NSA can achieve with current technologies.
> Should also add, allowing illegal immigrants to work benefits no one. Not American workers, not Mexican workers, no one. By bypassing labour laws and minimum wages, it allows for exploitation and also drives wages down.

That's may or may not be true, and could be a combination of a) there aren't enough people around who would do the job even with minimum wage, e.g. depending on how attractive welfare is and b) it's hard to legally immigrate. So the reality is - as usual - complicated. Let's assume somehow magically all illegal immigrants were deported or whatever. What do you think would happen in the short and long run? To e.g. fresh produce? Do you really think American workers would rush in, and the public would tolerate the higher prices?

There's no easy solutions, and many wrong ones that tackle symptoms but not the root cause.

You act like that's some kind of revelation. Countries such as France, Britain, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, Australia, India, Russia and China are already on par with or beyond the US when it comes to abusive domestic espionage.

Capitalism has an easy solution. Labour shortage = raise wages.
That's the thing. the other side didn't have power. If you think Obama was "the other" side you are quite naive.
Good you did, soon visa might be hard to get.
I hope that we can keep this issue "apartisan", because the importance absolutely transcends past or future political affiliation. What has become "reasonable" is slowly but surely come to mean "what we can get away with".
Most other countries have been thrilled to abuse their own people when it comes to espionage. So no, they'll jump right on board, gladly. Not primarily to punish the US, but because it's a perfect excuse to expand their existing spying programs.
Wouldn't two factor make this irrelevant?
The problem is granting citizenship to effectively anyone who wants it is not going to fly, but allowing millions of non-citizen workers would require the elimination of birthright citizenship for the same reason. And then you have a permanent underclass.

An actual solution might be to rework the way we do agricultural subsidies, to replace them with wage subsidies for agricultural workers. Then you only get the subsidy if you hire someone legally, which causes legal workers to out-compete the black market.

A UBI (which allows the elimination of the minimum wage) could do the same without the industry-specific treatment.
Maybe have the top level comments very prominently displayed, but show all or a few levels in in a smaller and muted style that expands inline.
Accenture is an unbiased source in this. They will give you the pro's and con's of a number of high-margin products from Microsoft. You'll know which of them is best for you. You will not find them slanted enough to tell you to port your infrastructure to Windows 2012 on dedicated servers over instances of your current 2003 Servers running on Windows 2012 with HyperV. They wouldn't push that over a cost-efficient implementation of your whole business in Azure. They'll let you run your conferences on Surface computers with a Powerpoint just as quickly as Powerpoint on desktops with Windows 10 Enterprise.

Accenture will get you the answers Microsoft needs regardless of your situation. You can count on it.
I got a sales call from Oracle out of the blue a few weeks ago. I have no idea what brought my company to their attention.

I explained to the sales person that I am an Oracle-certified DBA with years of experience managing Oracle servers. I then told him there was absolutely no chance I would ever recommend switching to Oracle. In answer to his questions, I explained that I could not trust Oracle. I don't mean Oracle the RDBMS, I mean Oracle the company. He should be able to understand the need to trust your RDBMS. It would be crazy to use RDBMS software with you data if you didn't trust it. I think it would be crazy to trust a developer with your RDBMS if you don't trust the developer.

I don't want to make sure I have the right lawyers and all my legal ducks in a row to battle Oracle for the heart and sole of my company (what company doesn't have data at its core these days?). I want to solve problems and create great things. I want partners in that effort who I trust. I don't trust Oracle. They do not want what is best for me. I don't want to end up as roadkill on there quest to be more profitable. I'd rather work with those who think that my success is their success.

Sorry, I edited the parent comment for brevity and changed it a bit. But my question is still who would pay for those wage raises? The people who buy the products? How do you think they'd react if fruit/vegetables were twice the price overnight? Would they say "yeah, that seems fair" or "fuck it, let's allow immigration"? Do they even earn enough money themselves to have the liberty to make that decision, if food was a lot more expensive?
I'll note that what we're all reading is not changes to the User Agreement - it's a summary of coming changes. I went looking, and as far as I can tell the actual revised agreement is not currently available on PayPal's website - only the agreement currently in effect and this summary of coming changes.

In fact, we do not get to see the actual changes to the legalese until they go into effect, or that's how I'd read the current agreement (emphasis added by me):
"We may amend this user agreement at any time by posting a revised version on our website. The revised version will be effective at the time we post it. If we change the user agreement in a way that reduces your rights or increases your responsibilities, we will provide you with 30 days’ prior notice by posting notice on the Policy Updates page of our website."

So apparently we get to see vague and/or possibly misleading summaries and make our decisions based on those, but we do not get to see the actual text prior to deciding. I originally had hopes that we'd get to see it around the end of February (~30 days before it goes into effect), but the statement I italicized above indicates that we don't.
The tone of the writing in the "anti-textbook" suggests carefully researched facts, at least in some parts. It seems misleading to merely guess. I suggest you put some effort into giving citations for the various assertions. Links to relevant PEPs or sections of the official tutorial would be good.
Which part of "I want it now, not in the future" do you not understand?

> In my proposal for a sane migration path to the ideal? You wouldn't have to do it manually. The distribution would do it. As a user you'd be able to override it to speed up the migration for yourself if you chose; that's all.

I want to speed up the migration for everything - that's why I run Arch. That 'override' is a manual step I don't want to have to do.
