IIRC it was due to the new version having a protocol incompatibility with the old version, which means that users needed to upgrade SyncThing on all of their devices simultaneously to keep using it. I can certainly see how that could be a hassle especially when SyncThing is installed via a package manager or in the case of the Android app, where different sources provide different versions.

Gosh, thanks for the correction. We wouldn't want to hurt the feelings of the racists' close allies and supporters, now, would we?

Supporting Republicans means supporting racism. This was made extremely clear during the 2016 election, and I don't see any Republicans scrambling to prevent the White House's blatantly racist policies since then. There are no more excuses, you are either a supporter of hate and bigotry or you are not a Republican.
IS this not just a symptom of a maturing industry? At one point America had hundreds of automotive companies, those hundreds consolidated down to three. 100 years later, those three are still dominate. I'm not saying it's good or bad, but it sounds like something that has happened before and from that we can drive the discussion on weather this is good or bad, or something we can ignore.

It is not uncommon throughout business even at the enterprise level and certainly common in small organizations (and 300 employees is small).

I'll assume you're talking about Brin when including Google in your post. He was 6 years old when he came to America. Maybe that is what is important. Did anyone pull stats on the value of companies started by immigrants who came to America already fully grown?

Also there is value in "go to US/SV, work there, return home with knowledge of how better systems work, establish in your home country", although there are probably scale effects so it's best for humanity overall for the best people to be concentrated.

(I'm not sure about the merits of immigration, naturalization, and then return to/interface with birth country, vs. a non-immigrant status. There is probably a good case to be made that having people gain US citizenship is overall better, and it provides optionality. With global taxation it is a clear net win for the US, too.)
Well demand is a good thing in this case. It implies good economic development. My point was more that market mechanisms don't make sense for public good infrastructure/monopolies.

Anyone can tag news article for true/false/bias and nine other things...democratizing civic engagement and disobedience by putting BS filter into hands of anyone. I know they are looking for help to try and root out the crap that passes for news and discourse online and get people more engaged.
this is also called the fallacy fallacy

There is ample historic precedent for regimes and loud minorities implementing agendas by first going after the easiest targets (jews, kurds,hooligans,illegal immigrants) then slightly generalising (disabled, kurdish supporters, all "potentially violent", immigrants in general) in some steps until the end goal (political opponents, political opponents, political opponents and...political opponents). Hence in this case, the slippery slope is a given and justified.

In practical terms, unions can't survive without destroying individual freedom. So they are bad.
there are many other countries. so, there is choice for poeple emigrating.
It also heavily depends on the definition of "immigrant". Uber is listed, for example. The two founders of Uber are Travis Kalanick (born in Los Angeles, not an immigrant) and Garrett Camp (born in Canada, resides in San Fransisco). Is Garrett Camp an immigrant? Sure sounds like it. But is that really in the spirit of "founded by immigrants"?

I am not arguing in favor of an immigrant ban in any way, I think it's a bad idea, but when a headline is trying to argue against the ban the president has put forward and lists people from Canada and South Africa... well I mean yeah they're technically immigrants, but they wouldn't have been banned by the policy anyway. Now, Arash Ferdowsi, Iranian co-founder of Dropbox, that's your success story. Unfortunately the number of billion-dollar startups with founders born in countries listed in the travel ban is far smaller so it'd make for a worse headline.

I feel the inclusion of people like Camp and Musk hurts the point the story is trying to make. We have tons of important people from countries affected by the immigration ban, and it'd be worth it to highlight those people rather than just any immigrant. The president has never called for banning all immigration from any country regardless of anything. So the argument is disingenuous.
so since when wsj compares legal immigrants to illegal immigrants, there is bias right there.

I agree with your larger point, Bill Joy[1] notwithstanding, CRISPR is no more likely to wipe us out than nuclear weapons, driving cars, or any of a dozen 'unnatural' and dangerous things we've been doing for decades. But as rhetorical flourish, I'm not sure I can agree with the idea it will let us survive 'a few billion years.' Are there any species which have existed the few billion years the earth has existed? Multicellular ones? Once the sun boils off all the water on Earth in 3.5B years, presumably there won't be anything surviving here...

History tells a different story. When the income tax was first implemented it was not long ere any income over one million dollars was 100% taxed. During Eisenhower's two-terms in the 1950s the top tax bracket was 75%. It is interesting to consider that when the modern conservative wants to return to the American prosperity of the 1950s if, like you, conservatives would be willing to return to Eiesenhower's tax brackets and tax production.

A better historical argument can be made that America should have never switched from a dividends approach to the stock market during the late 1970s. Our current system rewards quarterly gains for long term losses and this has lead to the various bubbles. I can easily argue we should return to Eisehower tax brackets and also a dividends approach to stock market gains and in doing so history is on my side.
Are you saying that you solve conflicts specifically for different types of applications (e.g., Word, Photoshop, Excel)? That's impressive. However, now I'm wondering how I get my own apps supported.
If that's true, that seems like the sort of thing that would lead to a ton of false positives getting flagged for removal. I'm sure big news events like the Wikileaks Vault7 release would generate lots of comments. Doing a quick search on HN, I see the top posts related to Vault7 have <15 points and no more than single digit comments.

I find this worrisome. Vault7 is the type of thing that I would expect to generate significant discussion here.
You can legally tap phones of Americans in a far less convoluted way than what Rand Paul attempted to describe.
> From what I've read of the report, the 51% were all 100% legal immigrants.

Anti-immigrant policies, including ones sold on rhetoric about illegal immigration, often include changes to reduce levels of legal immigration or erect new cosrs and/or procedural obstacles to it, so that people who were legal immigrants under the old system would be prevented or discouraged from legal immigration under the new system.
Good point -- but certainly you can agree that after a certain point threshold flagging is increasingly less valuable and should be more to simply let the mods know to take a look.

Anything is preferable, at this point, to the methods used. Perfectly good articles are getting dropped and it comes across as censorship.

The export and installation of pre-made Irish bars
> you can somehow influence the ratio of "useful" vs "not-useful" immigrants.

I'm sure it's possible to do it, if you take a narrow enough view of 'usefulness', e.g. 'usefulness' = measurable economic productivity. You can screen out people with expensive preexisting medical conditions, people who cannot work, etc., and that will obviously raise the average productivity of immigrants. But it's immoral. Rich host countries are poaching productive individuals while selecting against people who are most in need of help, leaving them to be taken care of by their (usually) poorer country of origin. The fair thing to do would be to accept a random sample of would-be immigrants.
Plus the UK is in an extremely weak position to negotiate trade with almost everyone and have a very short amount of time in which to do so.

It is a slow start, but jobs have already started shifting from the UK to other EU member countries (particularly for companies based elsewhere in the EU). We'll also likely see reductions in exports as UK goods cost more for other countries to import than competitors elsewhere, and UK imports from the EU go up in price (due to tariffs) and elsewhere (due to weaker trade agreements).

We also may see "brain drain" as students and highly qualified pros go to countries like Germany, France, Sweden, and Ireland where they can gain/maintain full EU travel/rights/benefits. Gaining citizenship in England & Wales is simply going to be seen as less useful than in e.g. Germany.

Overall we're just on the leading edge of how bad Brexit is going to be, the loss of the GBP's value is the market trying to "build in" projected future weakness. It could take England & Wales thirty years to fully recover from Brexit.

Perhaps you should comment on what exactly you find wrong with the original post. My reading is that your article is actually supporting the person you replied to.

"Why did the immigrant scientists succeed? Clearly these were some of the most highly-skilled people on earth but it was something more. Beyond their skills, Laura Fermi notes the unique characteristics and emotions that the foreign-born scientists brought to the atomic project: “The determination to defend America at all costs spurred the newcomers no less than the Americans, and the European-born may have come to this determination somewhat earlier than the native-born, driven by stronger personal emotions. The picture of their country under Nazi power in the event of a German victory was something the Americans could imagine only with difficulty.” That was not the case for those who had already seen their countries overrun."

Ask HN: I'm in desperate need of improving my soft-skills
I've been on the "IT industry" for almost five years now and I feel like I've hit a wall.

Up until now, I've been able to progress through my career by being a hard worker and by being flexible with my skill set (I've learned most of what I know by myself). But lately, I've been experiencing first hand what not having soft-skills can do to your career. I'm able to built stuff, but I don't know how to sell it.

I've been thinking that maybe learning a little bit of marking might improve my situation (https://www.coursera.org/specializations/digital-marketing).

I don't know if anyone around here have been on the same situation as I am right now, and if so - kind stranger - might I ask, how did you get over it?

For disk storage CRC-32C is still non-broken. You can't say the same about on-board communication protocols or even some LANs.

When people started using CRC-32 it was because with the technology of the time it was virtually impossible to see collisions. Nowadays we are discussing if it's reasonable to expect a data volume that gives you 40% or 60% of collision chance.

CRC32 end is way overdue. We should standardize on a CRC64 algorithm soon, or will have our hands forced and probably stick with a bad choice.

I don't understand American's new-found fascination with vocational training. Why is it they expect education to now provide people with narrowly focused job training over the more traditional broad education?

Yes, college is expensive and I absolutely think something should be done to resolve that. And certainly not everyone needs a BS to be productive citizens. But societies "reverence" for the Bachelors degree was earned. Historically, these programs equip people with the background and education necessary to advance their careers.

Like many people here, I have a BSCS, and if computing became obsolete tomorrow, I feel entirely confident in my ability to transition into many other technical careers. My feeling is that a BS should be designed to open up entire classes of career options for people. But I also feel that people who opt for technical training in lieu of general education shouldn't be upset when they find out they can't transition as easily into other fields that require skills they may have never learned.

I honestly think this article serves as a cautionary tail to reinforce Bachelors "reverence" more than it does to dispel it. A person who spent years learning the depths of Italian cooking shouldn't be surprised when people don't want him managing their businesses. Knowing how to field for truffles and prepare them in a traditional way is nice, but it's not analogous to knowing how to run the logistics of a business.
Those read like classes generated by tools. Or maybe I really don't want to think humans are capable of such names.
What's wrong with plastic? People seem to hate it in laptops and phones, but it has several advantages and only few disadvantages compared to glass and metal. It's lighter, cheaper, and usually protects innards better. I used to have Lumia phones with plastic cases for years, and they survived many drops - usually landed on an edge, which ended up with a dent, but not much more. The only advantages I see in other materials are aesthetics, heat conductivity (metal only) and scratch resistance (glass only).

It would be interesting to have baseline federal standards and then let states handle some immigration decisions, actually. In Canada the provinces can do that (so e.g. Quebec can fast-track you for citizenship for speaking French). In Switzerland it is basically all at the Cantonal level.

To OP's point, at what point do we consider the Chesterton's fence effect? Pointing out code quality problems is of course easy when the effects of those quality problems are obvious, but as OP mentioned, Facebook is working at a scale that isn't likely familiar to most critics. Sometimes, when things get big enough, you have to do things that nobody else is doing, because nobody else has the problems that you have.

What is a "wasteful purchase" in this case? If the idea is to keep the money moving and to not give people huge amounts of free money by accident of birth, is not any purchase that isn't effectively taking huge amounts of raw materials and destroying them (as opposed to making something useful out of them) a good thing?
The most obvious example in the real world is those huge scientific projects like Cern's LHC, which requires the co-operation of multiple governments - no individual or team could attempt that. It's no surprise that the web came from there, since to create that at the time required a certain technical expertise.

If you want more software examples, how about operating systems? The good thing about software is there's a low barrier to entry, so you can have open source projects. That said, those open source experts often know their trade due to working as technicians for business or government, or relying on support materials.

The further down the road technology progresses, the less accessible it is for individuals to create.
