Outside of the 6 nations banned, it could just be anybody else at random really. CBP officers have infinite authority to reject people at will. It's commonplace at the Canadian borders for Canadian citizens to get turned away[1] [2], I'd like to point at their skin colour but then I'd get called hysterical.

What would you pay a recurring subscription for?
Edit: To clarify, I'm mostly interested in subscriptions to services (of any kind) that can be provided by a small team or one person.
I didn't really have Flynn and Hyper.sh down as really being comparable. I'm not sure how Nanobox fits into the picture.

I've been pretty impressed with Hyper.sh's ease of use and pricing. I didn't find Flynn a good match for my use case.

I've also found GCE to be pretty good to work with.
I've run a company for six years, and I don't know how a balance sheet works. In How to Get Rich, Felix Dennis said something similar.

I'll eventually learn how, but it hasn't been relevant so far. (Bootstrapped, no investors).

Of course, this is not to excuse the subsequent lecture.
But AirBnB reviews don't work like that. Even though you leave star rating, nobody sees it (I don't know how it looks like on the host side though, as I only used it as a tenant). Only feedback traceable to you is text you write, but you can be honest with stars. And you see compound rating on the property page, which they only show when there's enough reviews (so again, if you left your review first, they can't see what it was either).
I think the system is pretty good.
I'm really excited about the future of GCP and that there is now a serious AWS competitor.
>Given that this was the administration's attempt to implement a ban on Muslims entering the country

This is an inflammatory comment, and not a given.

> When insane people are in power, anything is possible

Also inflammatory.

>Maybe some big attack is carried out by a radicalized Muslim from France or Sweden, and the response is to ban entries from there. I'd have called this idea absurd not too long ago, but now I consider this kind of thing a serious, if small, possibility.

This is plausible, and a good point.

Sorry to spend most of my comment criticizing your comment but I really cant stand this kind of rhetoric.
Wow! I was shocked to see no matches for "also", et al.
Another reason: despite being closer to the Bay Area, flights to/from Mexico from SFO are actually more expensive (by 100-200 dollars) than to/from Vancouver.

but next was well on its way to declaring bankruptcy...

Next had terrible sales.. even jobs said so. The factory they built was so underutilized, they assembled the computers by hand instead of using the equipment because it was less work than doing the maintenance on it. It was designed to produce 150,000 machines a year... next sold 50,000 machines total over 6 years (an average of 700/month).

After 6 years, Next abandoned the computer market, focusing on software. They tried to sell the factory to Canon, who pulled out of the deal. They laid off 2/3rds of their employees.

On multiple occasions, investors were forced to put in more funding just to keep Next solvent.

Just a couple of years after abandoning hardware, they agree to merge with apple.

I wasnt able to find an exact number, but the amount of money apple paid for next may actually exceed the total revenue next pulled in during the 12 years they were in business.
this is why Uber punishes drivers who go under a 4 star average. 5 should be the default.
Dealt with similar issues as both a host and a guest.

The biggest problem to me is poor expectation setting. There are hosts that run BnB quality services, ones that run a mock-hotel like you described, and ones that just rent out a spare room in their apartment.

As a guest, it'd be great to know what I'm walking into. As a host, having guests that understand they are staying in my home and NOT a hotel would be great.

My guess is, dividing up the listings into service tiers would lead to legal issues (like you saw last year in NYC), but it would surely help with the guest-host relationship.

It's a way to try and break the awkwardness of just a one-word answer. We can't tell the tone this man had, or how the author perceived that tone, just from the writing, but I like to use Hanlon's razor liberally.

I think it's a moot point using only one datum, especially one as subjective as experience, in argument though.

Dubai is an excellent idea. UAE is one of the countries, for example, that bans any citizens of Israel and anybody who ever visited Israel from entry. Nice way to solve those visa questions once and for all. Why worry about unclear visa policy if we can choose a country with a clear "no Jews allowed" visa policy?
So, is the problem that they are forcing abortions, or that they have a social policy about childbearing?

If it's about the abortions, apparently there's two types of action taken[1]. If it's in an urban area, they apparently either charge a fee or don't assign a household register to the child (not sure what that means), but if it's rural they do apparently force abortions. If you're okay with the social policy, it seems like there are solutions that don't require forced abortions (such as implanted birth control). Whether that aspect is still ethically worse than the U.S. or not probably depends on your view on reproductive rights.

> You're making a claim that is fairly recent and that is intentionally inflammatory.

Neither is true.

David Neiwart, an expert on US far-right militia groups, wrote a long piece in 2003 about protofacism in the US and how its ideas were being gradually mainstreamed by a chain of pundits and media organizations:

http://web.archive.org/web/20160106001734/http://cursor.org/...

It's a bit wandering, but I think it has turned out to be remarkably prescient.

Trump specifically has been compared for a long time to media-savvy populist strongmen like Hugo Chavez. E.g.:

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/election...

Personally, I still think full-on fascism is still unlikely in the US, but it's no longer unthinkable. Previously, serious concerns about fascism in the US were the provenance of ultra-radicals on the right and left. But now you can find plenty of political science professors both in the US and elsewhere soberly discussing the possibility.
There's nothing substantive about what you're doing here, it's wildly off-topic, and just because there is a kernel of factual truth in what you're saying does not mean it isn't a smear. We ban accounts that post like this, so please stop.
It's worth remembering that hundreds of thousands of people's work and billions of dollars have been spent trying to reduce the surface radiation levels around Chernobyl. A huge amount of earth was moved to bury surface radiation. Chernobyl 01:23:40 goes into a lot of detail about the sheer scale of work that was poured into the cleanup project.

It's easy to get romantic about nature, animals, biodiversity etc. but if that work had not been done the situation today would be a lot less inspiring.
I read a while back (did not independently confirm) that they used a DJI Inspire for most of the promo video footage. I think the Inspire can do a lot of the same stuff too.

I thought it was funny they were using an existing product from a competitor to simulate what they claimed their future product could do.

I don't get it. If someone's done has an incredible body of work behind them, why do you want to hide that from yourself?

Isn't it a great way to pick the best people out of the pool of applicants? 'Ah this person designed the new IR in Google's V8 - we should definitely talk to them'.

When I speak to potential hires the first thing I ask is 'tell me about the projects you've worked on - what have you built in the past'. Am I doing it wrong? Someone could be great at general programming and pass a coding test, but if they have no experience in my field what are they going to do for me?
Don't worry so much. You have a mortal lock on the pipeline of first-time tech founders, and your cycles are overwhelmingly populated by graduates of US and European universities. Yes, a fair number of talented people from disfavored west Asian countries won't be able to start up here. That's OK: because of the way venture capital works, and because of YC's role in it, they really won't be able to start at all, and you won't have to compete with them.

Sure, they'll remain outside the US as a nucleation site for new startups that could have in theory challenged US dominance in technology startups. But the US controls the financial energy. They won't get anywhere.

Startups will survive large-scale institutional bigotry just fine. In fact: some of them will even profit from it.

5 Simple Rules for Better Project Communication
A complete lack of willingness to sell, in any very serious way. Good product, but token efforts at sales only.

This was neurotic more than an ethical stance. It wasn't sabotage if that means trying to be unsuccessful, it was irrational and deep-seated antipathy to asking anybody for anything including a few seconds of their time.

If you're unreflective as an employee, some one will bump you out of it. If you're unreflective and a boss, nobody will.
I concur, but have to admit there are correlations between political policies & funding. Many of these same assertions were made back during the GW administration"s decision to defund stem cell research. Would anyone directly involved in stem cell research care to shed some light on the current standing og the US in the field and how those 8 years affected progress in the US and elsewhere?
No, it was mentioned in the keynote.
First, I would like to say I want to agree the USA is ethically superior, but let me show how I can see the other side.

Stepping into the murky quagmire of ethics, I could argue that the 2 to 4 million Vietnamese who died defending Vietnam from American invaders is much worse than censoring the Internet. That Internet is largely made by those same murderers and they have the largest spy agency in the world, the CIA, trying to break in and spy on seemingly everyone, so it must be filtered.

One could also argue that enforced family planning allows for centralized natural resource and pollution management. China per capita pollutes much less than the United States.

Again, I am not taking or defending these arguments, but it is easy to see that it is not clean and objectively true that one nation is always ethically superior to another.
AirBnB reviews are massively inflated. A 4.5 average means you should carefully read between the lines of what the previous guests wrote. A 4 average means you should probably reconsider staying. Hades itself would probably rank around 3.5.

Indian Developers V/S International Developers:A Debate Needed Kickass Solutions
How does one have the gall to make this kind of claim with such a flawed methodology?

> Out of the top 3,479 profiles, the visual recognition API classified 1,515 profile images with a discernible gender.

3,479 seems to be an arbitrary number and no explanation is given as to why that was number was chosen. But, more importantly, more than half of these top users, who could be of either gender, were eliminated from the results, which already makes this study inconclusive.

The second major flaw is that the author determined a user's gender by their profile image, using a "masculine" or "feminine" classification. If already less than half of user profile images had a discernible gender, who's to say that, of those images that did have a discernible gender, the profile image accurately represents the user's gender? What if I decided to set a celebrity's image as my profile image? If my profile had Melissa Joan Hart as the image, does that make me female? If my profile image was of Bryan Cranston, does that make me male?

Also, how is "feminine" and "masculine" determined by this API? Does having long hair qualify as a feminine trait? John Romero has long, flowing hair and painted fingernails; does that make him female? Conversely, if a female has short hair does that means she's categorized as part of the "masculine" group?

The title to the article is absolutely misleading and wildly inaccurate. Even after the author admits:

> Determining gender on Stack Overflow turned out to be trickier than we initially anticipated.

She still has the nerve to make the claim that there is only one woman in the top 100 SO accounts in the title and throughout the article.

Yep, my only bad Airbnb experience was someone who was doing this. They were renting out their place in Eastern Europe and living in London. There was loud construction on the entire building, for my entire trip. Had that person lived there, I'm guessing they would have known about that before allowing someone to book it.

Once people make careers out of this, it really ruins the spirit of the service and then it's not much more than someone getting around paying hotel taxes.

Ask HN: Am I a software developer?
I've been writing software professionally for several years now. It's worked out fine. Lately I started interviewing for a new developer position at a few companies. All of them included various online developer tests where you have to write or debug code. I was bad at all of them. Some of them showed my score at the end, and it was abysmal. Have I been faking it all these years? Do the good candidates, heck, even the average candidates, manage to code answers to these online tests pretty decently? Maybe I am not a developer after all.

Typically the pre-packaged tools don't give you enough control. They are an abstraction with no lower level to fall back on when you want to do something outside of whatever use case they are trying to solve. Kubernetes is sort of the opposite case. Personally, I think Docker Swarm is the best option at this point. The API is simple in comparison to Kubernetes and works well. One thing that I've found that Kubernetes and Docker Swarm are missing that some pre-packaged options have is a load balancer / reverse proxy, but Traefik has grown into a very nice solution. I think pre-packaged solutions to can still add a lot of value by doing things like autoscaling, simplifying blue-green deployments, etc, but I personally find some of the limitations frustrating.

A lot of vulnerabilities like this are found with fuzzing. Same with poor encryption schemes. Depends what your definition of clever is but normally fuzzing is an intermediate research step to just see what response you get as you change input to ascertain information of what's going on behind the scenes so you can use a more directed attack later.
Awesome! This is something I was really hoping for.
I agree, of course. But the comparison was to commercial air travel.
"Your response to this dilemma may vary according to your risk assessment. However, all travelers should stay calm and respectful, should not lie to border agents or physically obstruct them, and should plan for this dilemma ahead of time. Try to document or politely ask for the names, badge numbers, and agencies of the government officers you interact with."

I don't mean to be churlish but this advice is pretty weak sauce. I mean, I understand why they don't want necessarily want to admit the truth, that if you're a foreign national and you don't comply things will get nasty and you'll almost certainly be deported.

However, that sadly seems to be the truth of Trump's TSA, and if the truth stinks, don't sugar coat it.
Paying people more for having more experience isn't some weird fetish that companies engage in. It's done that way because people with more relevant experience generally get better at the thing they're experienced in (or have more breadth of knowledge, etc). If you try to pay someone with 10 years experience the salary of someone with 1 years' experience, you will either have a very hard time finding people to hire or you will end up hiring someone who is not very good at their job.

So yes, if someone takes 10 years off to raise children or to go yachting around the world or to help sick children, they will probably not command the same salary that their (otherwise identical) co-worker who stayed in the field for those 10 years would command, because they likely won't be capable of "equal work". Anyone doing anything else would be systematically overpaying their workers, and are likely to be out-competed by companies paying market wages.
