> as it's easy to distinguish the looks of most immigrants

It's not. To take Germany as an example, the largest group of foreigners are Turks, followed by Poles and Italians. More than half of foreigner's in Germany are from European countries. On the other hand, many people from that groups are now German citizens and have grand-children that are in Germany in the third generation. A large number of German citizens have foreign born parents and many foreigners are born in Germany. If you can reliably distinguish between immigrants and the rest of the population by the looks your skills would be in high demand.

White House Opens Door To Crackdown On Recreational Marijuana
Timothy McVeigh was a white terrorist. This is a hate crime committed by a racist alcoholic. "Terrorism" is the wrong word here. I also take issue with this statement:

>"Remember, the shooter had been told by Trump-Bannon that Muslims hate America and should be excluded from the US."

This lays bare the author's intention to blame Trump for every crime that is ever committed against middle-eastern people in the US. This is obviously an absurd and extreme notion.

So this article is an extremely biased, politicized version of a legitimate news event. I thought HN had an "original source" policy. The link should probably be changed to the actual news article upon which this drivel is based, which is here [1].

It isn't just video pros.

I've purchased Apple products for 12 years (and for my entire company for 7 years).

It always seemed to be the obvious choice; it just worked, reliably and with a better user/developer experience than alternatives.

This year both me and my team have started moving away. My next phone will be an Android device and we're now not buying Macbook laptops for new recruits.

Windows, Ubuntu or Elementary OS offer a better experience. I personally can't take the restrictions I'm getting from MacOS and iOS. I'm also infuriated to see my machine being close to unusable a couple times a week while "kernel_task" eat up 120% of my CPU.

The only reason I was still sticking with Apple was the hardware, but that too went downhill. The iPhone's screen is brittle. The battery is capricious. My latest 2 visits to the Apple store resulted in a unusable track pad and a damaged screen on my Macbook (which were then claimed to not be covered by Apple Care).

Others around me share my frustrations.

It may be anecdotal, but 3 years ago I would never have considered buying anything but Apple. I've reached the tipping point and I'm not the only one it seems.
No, because once the contracts with VC2 are signed etc. they can't change the terms, so VC3 can't swoop in anymore in the same round.

And even if VC3 swoops in during negotiations with VC2, it requires the founders to be pursuing that (and VC1 would be aware). Whereas with the ROFR the founders have no choice.

Finally, VCs suffer from herd behavior. So it is very plausible that many VCs arrive at the same valuation - the valuation of the VC leading the round / the valuation of the best-reputation VCs. If foo VC values a company at $10M, but Sequoia comes in at $20M, 99% of the time foo VC will second-guess their valuation and match Sequoia.

On OSX it used to be that you had to disable the pager daemon, then remove the swap file. Probably need to disengage system protection for it to work though.

I do wonder what a robot tax would look like: is gmail a robot? Is Alexa a Robot? Is Tesla a robot?

I think this stems from the basic idea that we always find it compelling to tax someone else, and what better to tax that which cannot defend itself. But then you realize a robot is like a hammer, and i dont think the hammer cares about filing to the IRS.
>Tesla is as much a car company as GM, BMW, Honda, and Toyota

It often feels like the people discussing Tesla have zero experience with some of these other companies.

Just so you know, I am from the same City and University as the victim in this story. In our country(most other countries too) we, the common citizens, which includes most of the population, don't own firearms, use firearms, even as show-pieces or even see them everyday. It is hard for us to understand why they even allow you to own them.
Computers are not getting better at the rate they used to, but we are still improving both on performance and power.

However, the largest change we have seen the last couple of years is the accessibility of computer power. These days an attacker can be concerned mostly by how many CPU/GPU hours he needs to rent from Amazon or equivalent providers to achieve his goal. So the accessibility, convenience, and price of processing power is still improving quite fast.

I think it would make sense to reduce the number of poor people. If taking in immigrants is likely to increase the number of poor people, there is a problem.

The discussion is not about what should be done, only about Sweden's claim that there is no problem. If they say "yes there are criminals, but only because they are poor", they are dodging the issue.

-----

edit: Hacker News doesn't let me post more comments. So here is the comment I wrote, but I'll probably refrain from further ones:

"poor swedes could be deported and rich immigrants could take their place"

This is already happening in a way - it is called gentrification (not replacement with rich immigrants, but in general rich people will cluster together).

But Swedes formed a "state" and endowed some people with citizenship, but also giving them responsibility for their own people. So their responsibility should be to their own people first. Of course you can argue that forming such a state is immoral, but I think there are some practical arguments in favor of it.

As history has shown, states are very well capable of deporting significant fractions of their citizens, though. But presumably atm Swedes rate the ensurance to not be deported higher than the inconvenience of living with poor people.

The gender angle: yes, that is a popular argument in Germany, "but the refugees are only criminal because they are all men". But it should be possible to take that into account statistically. And even if the higher proportion of males would be the only issue, it still wouldn't change the fact that immigrants are causing problems. After all, they have a higher proportion of males.

> Admitting that white males commit terrorist acts would weaken the thesis of the alt-right that terrorism is a function of multiculturalism, specifically of immigration from non-white or non-christian majority cultures.

I'd buy that.

> White Americans aren't considered terrorists by default when they kill people for political or religious reasons, rather, they're revolutionaries, or patriots, or lone wolves.

There are lots of white terrorists:

The Apple product line has expanded because their user base has expanded. They're no longer selling a few hundred thousand Macs to a few categories of creative professionals. They're selling many millions of them to people all over the world.

Even so, Apple to this day doesn't chase after every conceivable ecological niche in the market. They only sell two headless Mac models (ignoring internal component options). The Airs are likely on the way out, so their clash with the MacBook is likely just a temporary transitional thing. Many of the products you listed are actually just different generations of the same thing.
The problem is not immigration though. The problem is a system which is designed to widen the gap between rich and poor, making it impossible for the poor or less fortunate to break out of this cycle. When you move a whole bunch of poor people into such a system then you force them into crime, no matter what country they come from.

The solution should be to stop creating conflicts in countries which the western world wants to destabilize or dominate because of geo-economical advantages to them, causing war and poverty and then forcing men, women and children to escape into the Western world where they get pushed into ghettos, which leaves them no option other than prostitution and crime.

The solution should not be to stop immigration, but to stop forcing people in other countries to emigrate.

> If PDF had a header at the beginning of the file that states the file size, then it could be harder to find a collision.

No. It doesn't change anything if the size is in the PDF header. The size of both PDFs are the same, the header of both PDF files is the same on the both "shattered" files now.

What Linus says is that if you tried to put these two PDF files in git, it would not see them as the same, as git calculates the sha1 differently. But Google would be able to produce two PDF files that would, as git sees them, appear to be same just as easy as these that were produced.

P.S. (answer to your answer to this message) Note, You wrote one level above

> If PDF had a header at the beginning of the file that states the file size, then it could be harder to find a collision.

And I argued that it isn't harder, but irrelevant.

From your answer:

> But to generate a collision with a different prefix q one would have to do the expensive computation all over again

Yes. Now read what your claim was again. It's not harder. Exactly as easy as the first time.
That may be their theory, but where is the validation of the theory? What are the reasons to assume it will work out that way?

---

Edit: reason for assuming it won't: there are many countries with a huge population that are nevertheless poor. So number of people alone doesn't seem to help against poverty. Also, there still seem to be poor native Swedish people, so apparently Sweden does not have a working formula for lifting people out of poverty (except giving them government money, but that wouldn't scale in the way you propose - that wouldn't yield more taxes and riches in return).
Sadly all it takes is a gun in the hands of a non-wonderful person. Not dismissing your comment but as an Indian, I'm seeing the damage just one a can do compared against the wonderful people.

> Besides, socioeconomic factors to justify rape....really?

I'm sorry, but it is really difficult to have a serious conversation with someone unable to differentiate between the process of analyzing reasons for crimes and 'justifying' crimes. That is elementary stuff.

And your point doesn't even make sense. Are you saying rich, well educated muslims or african immigrants are still more likely to rape someone than a white person? Is your argument genetic? If that is not what you are implying - and I'll pay you the complement of assuming it's not, then you will have to at least consider socioeconomic factors.

Some of your ideas are good. Some, I think, seem good on the surface but would wreck the economy. In particular raising corporate income tax is pretty bad. Remember, virtually every job there is comes from some sort of corporation. You're literally putting the breaks on the economy at that point. Taxing the wealthy directly is very different and probably a good idea. It can take from those that have the most to provide for those who have the least - improving education and reducing poverty-related crime. Of course it can also just pull money out of the economy for BS pork-projects. Taxing capital gains and dividends may be similar, as it represents income for many people. I don't know enough about the economic repercussions of taxing investment to be sure.

Here's an interesting article from NPR on the reforms most economists seem to agree on. Interestingly the panel of economists had a broad range from very liberal to very conservative and they were all able to agree on several things that virtually no politician would ever endorse! Enjoy!

I'd like to give another perspective. When someone says people should not start exercising before seeing a doctor and without supervision, they are saying: you can die!

And people can really die if they "go back to the roots" and start running pursuing animals.

A more relevant question is whether immigrants are making Sweden more dangerous than it would otherwise be.

It's possible that Sweden became safer because Swedes commit fewer crimes, and this decrease outweighed a crime increase caused by immigrants. Crime-by-nationality data would help resolve this question. Why is the Swedish government hiding it?

>If you're going to buy stock in any company the number one reason has to be that you believe in its leadership.

Why should this necessarily be the case? There are many reasons to buy a stock. Sometimes leadership is an issue, and getting rid of it is an opportunity.
The main reason is to protect their interests in the case of visibly poor leadership. There's almost no reason outside of that that I can see.

FWIW, there are a lot of people who's goal isn't to sell but to collect dividends due to the long term success of a company.

Show HN: New Zealand Backpacker Market – car, campervan, camping gadget
Great summary. The Macbook Pro is still, arguably, the highest quality laptop on the market, but when it comes to the Desktop, there is absolutely zero reasons to consider Apple. I know that there are those who swear by OSX, but I find that on a functional level, the UX is essentially interchangeable with Windows 10 and in a few cases Windows is even preferable.

I'm aware of the Apple ecosystem synergy, and I don't find it surprising that an individual who uses all Apple products experiences a kind of lock-in dysphoria that makes any other alternative appear unattractive, but at the end of the day, when hardware performance is a critical factor in the type of work being done, I just can't justify the insane rigidity and mark-up of Apple's desktop products.
this is another data point that supports my personal, hare-brained theory that the expectation of privacy on the internet is simply naive, a fool's errand. it never existed, and never will.

The question was "is there a problem with immigration". How to mitigate crime is only the second step. And it will be difficult to mitigate it if you don't accept the causes.

Of course leftists believe that rich countries like Sweden are to be blamed for the poverty of people from other countries.

I am also not saying poor people shouldn't be helped. But there doesn't seem to be a universally working formula available. Just as there doesn't seem a formula for making strict Muslims tolerant of homosexuality and freedom of women.

If you are hanged by a radical Muslim because you are gay, it doesn't help you that he wouldn't have hanged you if only he had received the right educational interventions beforehand.

Here is a list of "Ehrenmorde" in Germany: http://www.ehrenmord.de/doku/2016/doku_2016.php

Ehrenmorde are cases were people are being murdered by family members (usually brothers murdering their sisters, but sometimes also men are the victims) for bringing "shame" to the family - like having extramarital sex, leaving the religion, stuff like that.

Some of the freedoms we take for granted are simply not taken for granted in other cultures. And I don't think there exists a formula for convincing people from such cultures of our values.
