>I never claimed the system is perfect because there is no perfect system for such complex problems.

Agreed. But my real problem here is that there doesn't seem to be any sort of plan. There are many questions that need to be answered, among these:

1. Should a country accept refugees? If yes, how many?

2. Are these refugees permanent residents? If not, what is the timeline of their departure?

3. How do we integrate thousands of people with very diverse backgrounds into our system?

>That's because they are legally not allowed to work until their status has been cleared.

Finding concrete numbers on this issue is surprisingly difficult. I have found from a few different sources that only 13% of in-status refugees have found work. Again, there are real challenges in integrating refugees, and there is no clear plan for how this is to be accomplished.

>these people won't simply "disappear" just because you hide them behind big fences and walls.

Agreed, and something should be done to help them. But I think that the default shouldn't be to let them in. That's foolhardy, especially when governments don't have clear policy answering the questions that I have asked.

In the absence of a clear plan regarding the status of refugees, I can't help but feel that it is irresponsible to accept all. It will require real, concentrated efforts by a government to make a refugee system work in the interests of both refugees and citizens, although I agree that it is an effort worth making.

I respect your experiences with free movement. We agree that we don't desire for "iron curtains" to be re-established. Coming up with an approach to these problems that works is beyond my skill set -- I only hope to see that those who come up with possible systems are able to clearly articulate their details, strengths and weaknesses, and allow the people to make a choice from a selection of systems.

EDIT: I am also going to add that I am aware that some of these questions have definite legal answers, but given that there is so much turbulence and desire to modify existing legal systems that predate the current refugees-crisis, there is a lack of certainty and dialog regarding policy designed to face today's issues.

What we found when we tested tools on the world’s least-accessible webpage
It sounds like there's a space for a company that simply validates these issues and supports opensource software, for customers like DOD. I'd expect that such a company could charge each customer quite a bit, and that each customer will want pretty much the same verification of the same libraries, with additional work only needed as new stuff gets requested. Thoughts?

iirc, we largely ended prohibition because it was giving massive profits to organized crime

It would tax robots AND have other effects. But what is the reason for the taxation of robots? More (human) people should get jobs and money to spend.
Well, I think it is quite possible that the devs on the first-party team are not the same devs on the platform team. First-party or not, if the platform provides the tools and the devs refuse to use them, it is on the devs. Not the platform, the devs. Unless you can show me where the company demands its devs do so for no good reason.

>> I bet somewhere in there there's still UI that dates back to Win3.1.

I'm sure there is, that's a mix of backwards compatibility and don't mess with stuff that works. Some people want it, some people don't; can't make everybody happy. Can I complain that OS X provides a terminal that looks like it dates back to the 70's?
You only needed one service triggering the involved module in the CF proxy, and all traffic going through it would be affected, regardless of which feature each account had enabled. This over three months.

I think even CF struggled to find all affected sites - which is proven by the amount of stuff still in google cache, after 7 days of purging. Unless they keep three months of logs listing all sites that used each and every proxy, you cannot be 100% certain of which traffic was affected.
I think you're mixing 2 different things, charisma and success. If you think charisma will lead you to success, you're wrong :) people have created an entire business based on this false statement. It's a trap for people like you, you should focus on the success part not the other one because it's optional.

I have 2 questions for you - Do you want to become a director or some sort of CEO right now? How old are you?

If your answers are Yes and >30y old then you should probably work a little bit on that because it will help you in your day to day life. It might make things smoother but again, it's totally optional! If not, then you're fine, just live life. Real charisma and true confidence come with age. You become wiser, humble and less sensitive. If you're in your 20's people won't take you seriously anyway. Look how long it took for bill gates and Zuckerberg to become "charismatic". Money and success made them charismatic, today when they enter a room people shut up and listen. Look at them, they're freakin nerds! And they were inspiring people at the very early stage of their success. Charisma? Come on... it's like buying books on how to look like Brad Pitt. All you need is to inspire people when you talk or simply say relevant things. Being tall, standing straight, and all this BS help people selling books and crap. Or it's valid if you're on a date and want to look super confident, which is indeed attractive for a lot of people. But for different reasons...

In other words, be yourself and do your own thing.
>There’s a big difference between [medical marijuana] and recreational marijuana and I think that when you see something like the opioid addiction crisis blossoming in so many states around this country, the last thing we should be encouraging people ― there’s still a federal law that we need to abide by when it comes to recreational marijuana and other drugs of that nature

Ah, yes, we should crack down on recreational use because of opioid addiction. Makes perfect sense when you speak in sentence fragments.
What the heck is Monzo? I read the About, is this another Paypal 20 years later?
> Yes. But that is easy to explain. "It always rounds down"

The explanation is easy, but it isn't simple.

With respect, "It always rounds down" is a terrible explanation. It explains the apparent behavior of the / operated in Python 2, but it does not really explain why. A better explanation is that the Python is both dynamically- and strongly-typed and that / does integer division on integers and "true" division on floats. For the newbie who understands these concepts, this is a far more useful explanation and metaphor; and for the newbie who doesn't, he has to learn somewhere, and frankly the / operator is not a bad example.
Cloudfare has advised that Wave data has not been affected/leaked. We've got engineering and security teams investigating, and we'll keep on it until we're ultra confident in the conclusion. Nonetheless, good practice for everyone to rotate all passwords today, for any services. Good security hygiene any time, and especially now.
> "A machine that resembles a human and does mechanical, routine tasks on command."

Oh, come on. In this situation you can avoid being taxed simply by making a robot that does not look like a human.

> Nah. Bug bounties don't work for services like CDNs. Maybe they do elsewhere. But for enterprise services, the noise rate is too high, and the very good bug finders are either salaried, free, or working for the adversary.

Yes, running a real bug bounty system requires professional security engineers and a professional security posture to sort through the noise. However, when the sole product you are selling is security (i.e. Cloudflare) you kind of have to admit it should be expected that they do so.

It isn't "too high", it simply requires a serious financial commitment to security in the terms of salaried security engineers.

As to your other point, No one works for free. Project Zero is paid for by Google. Security engineers are going to prioritize the purposes that make them real, hard cash.

But that very gross managerial incompetence might also be doing harm to people.
My new MacBook randomly crashes and the touch bar is a real nuisance. The wretched USB c only ports is a real pain for me. It's slower than my former MacBook Pro (which is strange) and the battery time is worse too. The most ridiculous thing though is that I need a bunch of adapters with my iPhone 7 to charge and sync it using my machine. If only there was a positive side to it I would probably be less unhappy but I cannot think of a single one. I do. not. understand what apple was thinking when releasing it. I'm not the only one at the office that have these issues either so I'm not the only one. And no: we don't have any weird stuff on it.
It leaves me super conflicted: MacBooks used to be the safe choice for a high quality laptop. Now I don't know what my next device would be, but certainly won't be an apple product.
The title of the article is "The evolution of IT architectures, how the distribution model is changing", but once it goes, roughly might I add, through the history of changes and reaches the stage of "cloud", it just drops off and in no way talks about "how the distribution model is changing".

No talk about the shifting shares in cloud companies, the competition between cloud companies, or the security reasons many companies are returning to on-premise servers. No talk about the future evolution of computing and how it could very easily still return to a mainframe type of situation, nor of the outliers in companies that still run on mainframes.

Overall, a lazy article that says nothing anyone on HN doesn't already know.

Allow me to summarize it: First we had large mainframes, then we had personal computers, with which on-premise servers came, but then virtualization changed the server game, and then the cloud just moved servers and management of those servers to a third party who knew how to do it better and reduced costs.

If the total number has remained steady, but the majority of perpetrators are now immigrants, then that implies the total number committed by native Swedes has dropped by roughly half in just a few years. This is highly implausible, so somebody's claims here are wrong.

Apparently I've been fasting daily pretty much most of my adult life. Last meal between 17-20, I generally never eat breakfast, and then eat lunch between 12-14. Maybe that explains why I'm rarely sick, and haven't been to a doctor since I was fourteen?
Who said that? Was it by any chance Mr. Strawman? I'm pretty sure most proponents of diversity would agree that some black-majority or muslim-majority countries could use some diversity as well. But acknowledging this would destroy the "white genocide" narrative, wouldn't it?
"The thorniest problem for Mr Gates’s proposal, however, is that, for the moment at least, automation is occurring not too rapidly but too slowly. The displacement of workers by machines ought to register as an increase in the rate of productivity growth—and a faster-growing economy. But since a burst of rapid productivity growth in the late 1990s and early 2000s, America’s economy has persistently disappointed on these measures."

Arguments from productivity measurements, especially the lack thereof, should be heavily suspect. I can remember economists, like The Economist, questioning the use of information technology as late as the late '90s, since there weren't any productivity gains to be seen.

On the face of it, this isn't an unreasonable suggestion, since it might slow and smooth the transition. The alternatives could be add ugly as the alternatives to the industrial revolution.

On the other hand, it would be hard to implement and no one is going to adapt before they absolutely have to.

That's a reasonable thing to exclude. But I'd argue we should just write the definition to caveat out of uniformed fighters fighting in war zones directly.

The reason is that stealth is necessary for planning a terrorist attack (and therefore redundant -- any violent attack on a civilian target is going to be stealthily planned almost by definition), and also not a pre-requisite in the after-math of a terrorist attack. In fact, most terrorist organizations brag about their attacks pretty openly. Even in some cases when they weren't actually responsible.
"Creative Professionals (or students)" has been a very visible, if not core, segment of Apple consumers. To me, this may seem desirable due to the perception that these people prefer to use tools that are 'the-best-of-the-best'.

I went looking for how to enable ECR and I didn't find it, is this a feature you can only use from within ECS?

On my legacy CoreOS cluster I always used Deis components to (theoretically) manage all of the cluster things. Kubernetes offloads many of these concerns to the Cloud provider, and handles others of them using Addons. Can I get ECR as my private registry on a Kubernetes cluster running on EC2 nodes?
When I was in the army they taught us that the atropine was the antidote to the pralidoxime (or 2-PAM chloride as we called it).
No, it is not correct. The problem, as above, is not just the socioeconomic background of an individual - it is about whether the power structures in society are, themselves, full of people who bear animus toward unimportant birth-characteristics of certain people - not merit characteristics, not moral characteristics, not regarding intelligence or achievement, but simply being born to parents of a certain ethnic or religious heritage.

The playing field is not level. I truly do not know why this point is so hard to communicate.

You can be the wealthiest, smartest black man alive - you are never going to be a grand dragon in the KKK. That should be quite obvious.

Now back down from that hyperbolic example - what about being a black man in the Mormon Clergy? That was impossible until very recently.

Now what about being a black man as a corporate CEO? Definitely doable. There have been 14 such individuals in the history of the Fortune 500: http://fortune.com/2017/01/16/black-women-fortune-500/ # But it may be less doable depending on the organization. Don't you see there is a continuum here? That the qualifications of the individual, including their privilege, are irrelevant when the ladder that individual is trying to climb has a "no [characteristic] need apply" sign at the third or fourth rung? Why is this so hard to understand?

You have to evaluate the type of account disclosure that was possible against your own use cases.

My company bills 1m a day through our online site, if my logins to our domain registrar were exposed then yes. .00001 is worth it, in the case someone would gain access and change our dns or do something else nefarious.

Like wise if my login to this site was disclosed, I can live with cleaning that up should it get out.

What shouldn't happen is the companies who were affected or the company who caused this (cloudflare) to say "no big deal"

At the very least they should say if you potentially used a serious service during this time and that service was using cloudflare then you might consider changing for reasons X,Y,Z.
Maybe. It's ancient wisdom one should only eat when hungry. :)

If you aren't CPU constrained, max out the RAM and swap in an SSD... you should be fine for a while.

Can you explain exactly how they carried out the assassination without harming themselves?

Each had two different compounds on their hands (or one with a rag?) and they touched his face in sequence. Then only on his face did they combine to become the nerve agent?

What about the last girl who touched his face, how was she not harmed? Was it because he had to inhale it?

I rather suspect that "taxed to parity with human labor" is heavily overstating the actual suggestion.
I think what should be taxable here is not a "robot" but a human replacement for the purpose of reducing costs in the pursuit of profit. Gates was talking about industrial job displacing "robots". If you didn't fire your personal assistant to replace him/her with Alexa/Siri or you chauffer because you updated your Tesla software and you're not at least an LLC then that wouldn't count. The point is not to reward businesses that replace workers, but to make that more difficult through loss of revenue and tax complications. This should be seen more as an obstacle than a cost. Most americans (myself included) understand very little about corporate taxation, but are quite aware that through armies of accountants and lawyers the larger companies pay less taxes per dollar than the average american citizen. (a simple google search kicked this back from last year: http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/markets/2016/03/07/27-gi...).
Presumably he meant the relative ease of the USPS, not the sender/receiver's ease at getting the USPS to do the additional search. In other words, if the insurance payout had been higher, that would have triggered the more thorough search rather than media attention.
> "Turing completeness" doesn't mean "I can run a program written in X in Y's runtime."

It's not the definition of Turing Complete, but it is a provable property of Turing-Completeness. If Y is Turing-Complete, then you can use Y to write an interpreter for X. Then the issue is reduced to arguing about what the word "in" means in the phrase "run Python 2 in Python 3."
Not really an apt comparison as iOS is a complete ecosystem controlled by one party, so choices are made for you. I'd say comparing it to a Hello World GUI app in C++ would be, as C++ also has a proliferation of build tools and graphics libraries that you have to choice before you can make a Hello World GUI app.
