Well I'm not from Sweden so I cannot comment on that, but it's a well-known and documented fact that e.g. here in the Netherlands, ethnicities other than 'Dutch' are over-represented in about every negative statistic that is being tracked, amongst which are crime statistics. I could point you to cbs statline, which is the goverment statistics body, but it's in Dutch so I don't know if it's of any use to you, see [1] and particularly [2] for an overview table of crime statistics grouped by native, non-native, non-native+non-western, etc.

Whether these groups are over-represented because of socio-economic status, cultural factors, genetics or whatever seems largely irrelevant to me if you ask me, especially if you are reasoning about immigration in the context of public safety. None of these factors are controllable, and typically immigrants from distressed countries will both fall in the 'different culture' and 'low economic status' category at the same time. For public safety, the root cause why they are over-represented in 'bad lists' seems irrelevant to me.

Let's be clear that I don't mean to pass judgement on immigration policy, just pointing out that if you are creative with statistics you can prove or disprove almost anything to be related to everything, depending on your agenda. Correcting a statistic 'immigrants are over-represented in crime statistics' by saying 'but not compared to swedes with low economic status' seems like a pretty desperate attempt to paper over the fact that accepting large number of immigrants will not improve public safety, so to say.

Also the entire RT reporting about Syria is a factual error. They omit so much, it's ridiculous. Russia last fall/winter killed around 4000 civilians in Syria, before they scaled back this year. Where are detailed reports on those reported on RT?

I'm a retired data architect and C developer with 36 years of professional experience. In my opinion, this is not how you find an appropriate candidate. It would be better to ask substantive questions that are related to the thing you are making. What does this person bring to the team? How will the team receive this person? Has this person delivered something of substance in the recent past that would convince you that he/she would succeed on your project? How was this person an asset on their previous job?
Did you ask her if she's aware that her fears are real, but not entirely rational?

It's possible to feel fear due to prejudices against certain people, be aware that is irrational, but still be powerless against the fear.

I personally harbor a certain dislike against the french due to past work relationships. I however always aim to be aware that it is an irrational prejudice and actively keep myself from having it influence my interactions with french negatively, while still trying to avoid such interactions just for the sake of my own mental health.

You can use them any way you want, just be aware when you do that some people think Dearborn in Michigan, or Birmingham in the UK are currently no-go areas for anyone who is not a conservative muslim, so any mention of Sharia which isn't a condemnation basically means you approve of this scenario and are part of the conspiracy to bring down the west.

And this conspiracy goes right to the top. The current president of the USA accused the previous president of the USA live on national television of helping to organise a terrorist shooting in a Florida nightclub. Hilarious right? What a wacky character. Not so funny when you realise large numbers of people literally believe this to be the case.

You're thinking on different abstraction layers - sure given a library for runtime X a REPL will be better than CLI, but when you're talking about processes then having functionality exposed via CLI vs Windows way of monolithic apps with GUI only - it's a huge difference for automation/testing/workarounds/re-usability/etc. - and you don't really care what the underlying platform/runtime is.

Yes :)

Semantics at this point. I'll rephrase your comment with consistent terms:

If polling couldn't determine what the odds really were, the odds, which showed it was well within the realm of possibility that trump would win, aren't evidence the polls were out of alignment with reality.

The possibility of Trump winning does not exonerate the accuracy of the odds presented by polls. The odds were not correct, and the polling data was flawed.

I think the "war on terror" is an idiotic phrase, so please don't ask me to defend it. The best I have is that some countries have decided to act against people who use terrorism.

The reason why is that terrorism is a form of politics. You can either spend a lot of money and try to persuade a population to agree with your position or you can convince them to live in fear of your power and to do your will out of that fear. This, also, is why terrorism is such an existential threat. It's not because of the body count. It's because a very small number of terrorists can effectively hold hostage millions of voters. That breaks democratic forms of governance in bad ways.

For what it's worth, I view the "war on terror" in much the same way as I view the "war on landmines", or the "war on poverty". "War" is so overloaded as to be meaningless.

I think with terrorism you can at least offer a working definition and drive analysis further. With "war", it's such a mess that I think as a word it's useless now.

We built Hasura over the last few years to help us build products fast. We didn't know what it would look like when we started, but we've ended up with something like a Parse + Heroku but on your own infra so that you can mess around with the internals when required.

Key features:

1. Data APIs on a Postgres database

2. Deploy with git-push, or any docker image

3. Expose HTTP services on the API gateway over subdomains/paths

4. Automatic LetsEncrypt SSL cert generation (Grade A) for exposed http services

5. SSH service to get tunnelled access to TCP services on your cluster

6. Auth middleware built into the API gateway, so that upstream services don't have to resolve sessions

7. Out of the box auth APIs for password, email, recaptcha, social login. mobile-OTP stuff

So, first impressions:

-From the comments I see you state network speeds, but there's nothing in my current circle so I can't tell if you can lead me to someplace with Verizon FiOS where I can finish a large backup job in a day as opposed to 3 months on cable.

-Can't change my location. Tried dragging the dot & clicking my current spot after searching my city at the top.

-No Android app, so there's the end of my testing.
I love seeing this kind of work done. Not because its going to radically change the underlying technology, but having the air cover a project like this will provide can enable so many government coders who get shut down by their first tier manager who tells them they can't use open source components or can't open source their code. Its might seem silly but just getting the projects out in the open increases their hygiene more then any other single factor.

>what do you find flawed in it?

* Package management

* The weird and approach to exception handling (which leads to overly verbose code)

* Lack of generics (which leads to overly verbose and somewhat hacky code)

* Vastly smaller 3rd party ecosystem

I think it works well for a very small subset of sysops-style problems (small servers, small command line tools, etc.) especially since it easily compiles into one small, portable binary, but outside of that it flounders.

Uber may, in fact, have an HR problem that needs fixing. I'll wait for the investigation to find out - Fowler seems fairly credible, but far too many incidents like this seem fabricated/unsupported/implausible, and get traction mainly because the media loves them.

I was only disputing the specific point I quoted. Even if everything Susan Fowler said is true, Uber is still a social good that is fixing racism in taxi cabs.

>The possibility of Trump winning does not exonerate the accuracy of the odds presented by polls. The odds were not correct, and the polling data was flawed.

If there are 10% odds of something happening and it happens after one event, that's absolutely not a reason to say the data points that generated the odds are flawed.

That is the reason you presented.

Doesn't North Korea has ICBM missiles capable of reaching Italy or Washington DC?

A missile full of VX agent is scary to me. The most North KOrea can fit on a missile is a warhead as powerful as Hiroshima's but a missile full of VX could potentially kill everyone in Washington DC

Plus think of all the implications of transporting VX through international borders. Did China accept having North Korean agents transporting VX in China? Did they smuggle it through fish boats?
I find it surprising that Trump supporters worry about no-go zones in Sweden. Have they ever been to New York City? Have you visited Bronx, neighborhoods in Brooklyn, or Jamaica in Queens, East New York, and would you consider them safe? NYC is your country, not a foreign country in Europe.

Not only that, but I've fallen for f-strings so hard that all my newer personal projects specifically require 3.6.

Some better ideas: raising the minimum wage, increasing tax rates on corporations and high-income individuals, dividends, estates, and capital gains, and using that additional revenue to improve public education on all levels, and reduce the cost of a college degree to a level that everyone can afford without going into debt.

The higher taxes and minimum wages would encourage companies to invest in automation, which would increase productivity, increasing corporate profits _and_ government revenue. There'd be a huge jump in demand for jobs installing, maintaining, designing, programming, and building automation technology, and a general increase in demand across the board as more people have more income because of higher minimum wages, which allow them to spend more money, which in turn grows the economy.

The additional investments in education availability would be timely since with higher demand for skilled labor and lower cost of tuition, people would take more classes and become more skilled and get higher paying jobs. It's a virtuous cycle.

Would inflation come of this? Probably some, but after a decade of sub-2% inflation, we actually _need_ more inflation. Inflation raises prices, but it also raises salaries. When huge swaths of the middle class are buried in mortgage, student loan, and credit-card debt, inflation makes those debts _smaller_, which means those people have more money to spend, which grows the economy, creates jobs, and raises wages.

It can become a virtuous cycle, if only we were brave enough to kick it off.

Might be better to link directly to the NRK news story:

That link includes video interviews with Stockholm police (not Malmö), with one police officer claiming they experience Police Fishing ("polis-fishing"), fake calls designed to bring the police to a specific location, where they are ambushed by locals who attack them by throwing stones at them ("steinkasting").

The report also mentions "no go-zones", but I can't find any mention of that specific phrase in the Swedish Police PDF that NRK link to and use as their reference.

> Capitalism is actually a great racism cure. Racism was always economically unviable.

Well, sort of. What's good for the economy as a whole isn't always the same as what's good for you individually. I might prefer a world in which I know my kids have good jobs, but technology remains stagnant for a generation, to one in which technology improves and the economy as a whole grows, but my kids have much less reliable jobs. (This is essentially Pigou's argument about negative externalities; capitalism is, in theory, a great environmental cure, because you can't make money without a world to make money in, but that doesn't seem to be stopping any capitalists at the moment.) Or the effects of making the economically-rational decision might be so slow and so hard to detect that an actual human will fall back on their biases and never miss the profit they could have gained by not trusting their biases. (This is Greenspan's famous argument about hiring women economists.)

There's a timely and (at least for most people) non-racist example here: immigrants on work visas. Economically, it's good for my country to hire the best possible workers at the lowest possible salary, regardless of country of origin. So why do we have borders and ensure jobs go to equally-good workers at higher salaries (or worse workers at the same salary, or both)? Because we like a world in which the employment of our countries citizens' is protected, even at the cost of our economy.

Slavery was extremely economically viable. And the fact that you need laws to make slavery illegal, but you don't need so many laws as to make Jim Crow mandatory, leaves me skeptical of the use of unguided capitalism as an effective tool for ending racism (even if in theory it would work).

Serious question. Why should common stock holders have voting rights? If you're going to buy stock in any company the number one reason has to be that you believe in its leadership. The ultimate vote of a shareholder is to sell the stock. Mom & pop don't get to exercise any meaningful control over a company with voting rights, leaving folks like Icahn to exert undue influence, whose incentives are possibly not aligned with anyone else's.

My feedback is: I was interested because I thought it was something that would allow me to "edit files in the browser", in the sense that it would keep the contents and a virtual file structure somewhat like what I keep for my static sites in my disk, but since I have to define a schema that is too complicated for me.
