Maybe in the context of the book it is a major reason.

Strings are ubiquitous to programming. I'd argue that it's even more for first time programmers. Zed wanted something that would be easy to use.

That is again another discussion where it may be relevant.

I took a quite specific discussion ("Sweden has turned dangerous because of crimes by immigrants") and in that discussion the fact(?) that total crime numbers have not increased is very relevant.

By that logic, even if VC1 is dead and buried, VC2 still will never make an offer, since VC3 might swoop in and steal the deal, so it's always a waste of time to make an offer. Additionally, it's implausible that two VCs will calculate the exact same "fair" valuation, since it's all so nebulous.

From the point of view of the original angel investors and early employees, why shouldn't the founder push for the best, least dilutive, offer? Are you suggesting that if VC2 comes in with a low-ball offer, the founder should just say "gee, they made such an effort, I owe them the right to excessively dilute us all, even though VC1 is putting his money where his mouth is, and is willing to step up to avoid it."

Let's say I helped you by putting up a down payment for you to buy your house, for which I get 10% ownership. Later, you want to sell the house (or a further interest in it). If you get an offer, and I think it's too low, is it unreasonable for me to want to "steal the deal" at that artificially low price? Otherwise, it's simply a transfer of wealth from me (and you) to the new buyer, which I'd certainly like to defend myself against. People buy houses all the time in competition with other buyers; no serious buyer says "I'm not going to make an offer on that house, because someone else might beat my offer, or maybe exactly match it and the seller could choose that other offer."

It seems that the main point of contention is whether migrants are more or less likely to commit crimes (in Sweden). This article doesn't answer this question at all for us. The following is the one remotely relevant statistic:

>> People from foreign backgrounds are suspected of crimes more often than people from a Swedish background. According to the most recent study, people from foreign backgrounds are 2.5 times more likely to be suspected of crimes than people born in Sweden to Swedish-born parents.

And even this isn't really what we're looking for because accusations != convictions. One can easily postulate that foreigners would have higher chances of being falsely accused, and factors like this have to be accounted for in the analysis.

The only factual evidence that we have to go on so far is otalp's reference to a study that showed German refugees are less likely to commit crimes than the average citizen.

Sadly, in this kind of argument, facts rarely matter and will likely not change erroneous views.

The two statements:
1. "Immigration doesn't lead to increase in crime rate".
2. "Most criminal offences are committed by immigrants".
dont't contradict each other. It may well be that immigrants push locals out of criminal business, because they are now the most poor and discriminated. That means that if you somehow decrease immigration rate, the business will be taken by Swedes again.
TLD's like this one is why statistics are often described as only tools for spreading bias, rather than facts.

Depending on which data points one choses to draw a line, one can either say that crime has increased or decreased. During the European migrant crisis of 2015, crime did increased compared to 2014. Gun violence in Sweden also increased significant compared to 2014.

But is comparing 2014 with 2015 a relevant data set? The article provide additional data sets, like the 1995-2015 data set and 2005-2015 dataset. Those say a different story than 2014-2015 dataset. The article do not explicitly say which data gives a correct answer to the claims, only that multiple data sets exist.

We do not have 2014-2015 dataset of the nationality background of criminals. The latest, as mentioned in the article, was in 2005. The argument against doing new such report after the migration crisis is that the government don't expect the result to be different and that the biggest predictor towards crime is socioeconomic, and any group which rank low on that (such as immigrants) will be overrepresented. If immigrants had above average socioeconomic status, then crime should according to this theory go down. If they have below average (which all data points to), it will go up. "Refugees are behind the increase in crime" is not directly opposed as a claim, but the implied cause that is suggested by it is.

Clinton ended up with a 2.1% victory; the RCP polling average before the election was 3.2% in favor of Clinton. So a 1.1% difference, which isn't huge. Some of that might be explained by the Comey announcement as well.
The polling data was that it is possible for it to occur, although unlikely. It occurred. I'm not sure where the data said otherwise, or where it isn't correlating with reality.
My experience is with maintaining somebody else's code, so I learned by cutting myself on its sharp edges. My advice is to avoid if possible. Unlike Qt, you can't subclass Vtk objects in Python.

By that definition, our own government is committing terroristic acts constantly. Hell, Facebook and Google are terrorists by that definition as well.

I don't necessarily agree nor disagree with the particular event at hand being labeled as a terror attack, but I'd implore you to analyze your homebrew definition.

What's added? What's left out? Why should the "mainstream" definition be changed? Is it not specific enough for the people you think we should target with that term? Is it too specifically targeting people you don't think we should care about?

You have it backwards with that war; it's the "war on terror" that is a conceptual absurdity, it does not serve to prop up your definition of terror.

Stealth - what does this mean? The people committing the acts need to be creeping around beforehand? Or that they need to not announce what they're going to do before they do it (not the case for Northern Ireland terrorism, where warning phone calls were all part of the terror tactic - get everyone evacuated).

Further, in Northern Irish terrorism, civilians weren't deliberately targeted; in fact, many plots were modified to reduce the risk of injury to civilian bystanders. Disruption to civilians, sure, but the targets were more usually economic or governmental than civilian per se.

"Effecting political change with violence committed by non-state civilian actors" might be a working definition. And I think right-wing nutjobs killing specifically targeted ethnicities counts, just as much in the US as it did in 1930s Germany.

In the nineties the FBI categorized things like church burnings as acts of terrorism, understandably so. (and that's an important example, as there are depressingly many church burnings every year)

I'm pretty sure those sorts of crimes still fall under the FBI's terrorism label but their political masters don't really play that up. "Violent crimes committed by people who are not like you who we'd like you to hate" is as accurate a definition of terrorism as anything at the political level, nowadays.

It's not an uncommon belief in the US. Whenever a school shooting occurs or other mass shooting occurs, Americans come out in droves to blame it on gun control, and insist that the solution to gun violence is more guns in the hands of the "right" people.

Events like that tend to lead Americans to buy more guns and ammo in anticipation of stricter gun control laws, rather than consider whether the proliferation of guns contributes to the problem at all.

> the use of stealth to deliberately target civilians in order to effect political change

Literally the only differences between your definition and the ones provided above are:

1. They specifically mention illegal violence so that e.g. police forces aren't considered terrorist organizations. Fair distinction, IMO.

2. The part about stealth. (Because flying planes into buildings or blowing up cars is... stealthy?)

3. The part about civilians (the parent's definition is more accurate -- terrorist attacks usually but not always involve civilians). IMO yours is a worse definition. It means IED attacks in Iraq weren't terrorism. So confusingly, on the front lines of the global war on terrorism, few if any Americans died at the hands of terrorists.

> Hate crime? Sure.

Sure. Why the hell not? What makes a hate crime not terrorism? Terrorists attacks can be not hate crimes (e.g. if they target indiscriminately), but usually terrorist attacks are also hate crimes.

> Drunken armed fool on his way to jail and a couple of guys just in the wrong place at the wrong time? Absolutely.

How does this fit the "political change" aspect that's included in your parent's definitions? Wanting to not go to jail is only political in the most superficial of ways.

> The western world is not in a war to stop armed stupid drunken men

So who and what are we at war with, exactly? I've been trying to figure that out for close to two decades now. And the prevailing answer has changed at least three times while the name of the war hasn't. So maybe you're the one with a terrible working definition of "terror".

> Why is the conclusion that immigrants dominate the statistics of violence against women racist? I don't think there are many people who believe the cause of this statistic is genetic.

First, if the very first sentence of wikipedia article of racism[1] tells that racism can be against a race or ethnic group, it should be accepted that the word "racism" is used not only to genetically different groups, but also against ethnic groups.

Second, your claim that immigrants dominate the statistics is wrong. They are over-represented. But even if we take that as your claim, no, the conclusion in itself is not racist. However, if you read what I wrote more carefully, that conclusion can be used as an excuse for racism.

>The report you linked doesn't help me at all, only providing an even larger number than I started with for migrant crimes.

The report is the only thing that actually matters in this context because it's the actual data. All your sources are just news-outlets trying to interpret data from sources they don't even share with the reader.

>but migrants from countries without a crisis that would lead to them seeking asylum

And half these countries are not even "Muslim countries", yet they are overrepresented in the crime rates, while people from countries like Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan are proportionally lower with their crime rates. Which goes straight against the common misconception of "It's their Islamic culture that makes them so criminal and incompatible to our culture!".

> This has been a very common criticism of the "floodgate" approach to accepting all immigrants regardless of their ability to justify their refugee status.

You first have to accept them to check if they actually qualify for refugee status, those that don't qualify don't get the status and thus have to leave the country.

How else would you want to handle this? Leave them all outside the border so they create their own communities, without any infrastructure or law enforcement? Do you seriously think creating these kinds of "slums" would be beneficial to anybody?

Want to talk about how spending tens of millions a month just to transport 45 and all his family around is a complete waste of money? Ban.

So, the quality of the posts faded and therefore users who are sick of it have walked away and those subreddits have diminished in popularity. If you can have a discussion, why go to a place where someone is just going to unintelligibly scream at you?
