A Mathematician's Lament:Paul Lockhart presents a scathing critique of K-12 math [pdf]
On the whole, a Canadian citizen will be more promising in the U.S. Canadians speak English which is close to Standard American English; the cultures are more similar, and the level of poverty is much lower, meaning they're less likely to become dependent on social programs. If usefulness is measured in ability to contribute to the productivity of the nation as a whole, then Canadians are a better bet (knowing nothing else about the individual).

All else being equal though, I don't see how you could make the claim that the U.S. is engaged in favouritism between equally-promising Canadian and Mexican potential immigrants. Mexicans and Canadians both (technically) need to get permits to work in the U.S.

Well there are other countries, contrary to popular belief. With your logic, the answer would be to emigrate somewhere else. But I think that's not the point.

Indeed it does. Criminals, polluters, etc. are a drag on the economy. However, that characteristic is not well-correlated with immigrant. It might even be anti-correlated.

I'm not against harsh penalties for criminals. I am not a fan of pretending to care about rehabilitation or deterrence, which clearly are not the purpose of our prisons. Let's call it like it is -- punishment and ejection from society.

I'm not arguing for immigration for ethical reasons, but purely out of self-interest.

How Atlassian took over enterprise software: Q&A with Senior UX Researcher

'A Powerful MacBo...' would be a more accurate title - there are actually a few more options out there such as the Dell XPS Developer Edition or System76 offerings.

I used a Dell XPS 13 (2013 model) Developer Edition at my last job and use a 2015 MacBook Pro 15" at my current job. The Dell was superb and served me well for 2 and a half years of work with no significant issues. However, my colleague had issues with overheating and resulting unintended shutdowns. If Dell continue their 'Project Sputnik' work I think they will be able to really challenge Apple's dominance as the go to developer machine. I'm definitely not the only person who thinks it's mad that in 2017 the developer community, which relies so heavily upon open source software, is effectively held hostage by the whims and machinations of Apple when it comes to their development OS (and thus, currently hardware too).

My current experience with the MacBook Pro is very good (once I installed several add-ons like TotalSpaces 2 to emulate Ubuntu workflow) but I feel the real reason dev teams are going for this option is the safety in numbers you get from everyone using the same machine which is also used by millions of other developers. It's a bit of a tired expression but the MacBooks do just work.
Because Nylon (other than radiating heat back) doesn't trap heat worth a damn, often makes noises when you move, and various other things (doesn't absorb water).

Now a mixture of nylon is a different thing but I was referring to 100%.

Frankly I find the tactile feel of most synthetics (especially nylon exterior wear) pretty nasty (particularly the more water resistant/proof it is).
Dex is great stuff (I use it to hookup Active Directory to k8s), but I wish the example app was a bit more user-friendly.

The first "login for / extra scopes" page is pretty confusing for new users. Luckily it is all open source and I can hack it, but would prefer not to.

I made a web app exactly for this- for staying focused on your most important 1-year goal. It reminds you of your goal in every new browser tab (with the accompanying browser extension), so that your goal always stays top-of-mind. It also reminds you to record your daily progress and to track your goal-related habits.

It has other productivity tools as well (pomodoro timer; habit tracker; brainstorm tool) all dedicated to your top 1-year goal.

Well, they had their voice, they cast their lot, they were the deciding vote for Brexit. Now they can lie in the bed they made for themselves. No pity lost from anyone up beyond the Wall or down in the South.
Which is, almost ironically, going back to vocational training instead of standard Liberal Arts degrees. I triple-majored in Math, Physics, and Computer Science because I had to be there for the whole degree, so why not. But all I really needed, and all I use to this day, is the Computer Science portion.

We could probably eventually overhaul the system to that end, but I don't envy those trapped in the transition period.
This superhero attitude, I think, is more dangerous.

>Given "ourselves" is all of us here, a way to illustrate that in a trustworthy way would be to expose the meta data around the story. Which articles were flagged and removed, who flagged, how much it mattered, etc.

Publicly pointing out who flagged a story seems like a bad idea. I think the data should always be anonymized. I just think it will lead down a bad path to ostracize people for specific votes or flags.

I do however think it would be interesting to see some data after the fact for some stories say ones that reach 500 points or greater.

As far a I understand domain fronting works by sending a different host in the SNI header than later in the actual http request, thus hiding the actual requested host from an adversary watching the connection from the outside.

This would require cooperation from the sending http stack, in this case the browser. I doubt that this is a viable option in this case.
But that doesn't seem to be what they want. I agree about being skeptical of being a small, relatively powerless country in a currency union with a much larger economy, but that's the case for them regardless of whether they're on the Pound Sterling or the Euro.
Read Dan's comment at the top of this thread.
And your 401k was up massively since Obama took office as well long before this current wave of anti-immigrant sentiment.

The market is up because of an irrational belief that Trump is going to enact the pipe dreams of the SeekingAlpha crowd with massive tax cuts that the Democrats are never going to approve.

Statistics show most likely there is going to be a big correction and a recession on Trump's watch. Never in the US's 200+ year history has it gone more than 11 years without a recession, check the NBER data.

So given the likely downturn in the markets when people realize that this stuff isn't going to be enacted, will speak up then because it's no longer "awesome" for you?
A formal statement of "we want this information and may be using it." There is a lot of paperwork that government goes through to document how it gets its information. Getting the information via warrant shows that this was asked for and received in a legal manner (rather than someone dropping some illegally obtained data on a website - even if there are legal channels to get it).
No, they never released it. They said several times, that they are working on opening it though. They already replaced their previous shader compiler with llvm toolchain for example, but there is more work than that.

> I wish software engineering had the barriers and requirements of other engineering fields.

It does where I live you're required to be licensed if what you're doing passes these 3 criteria:

1. any act of planning, designing, composing, evaluating, advising, reporting, directing or supervising (or the managing of any such act)

2. that requires the application of engineering principles

3. concerns the safeguarding of life, health, property, economic interests, the public welfare or the environment, or the managing of any such act.

This includes software development. It is illegal to use, "engineer," in your professional title unless your accredited.

I think this is a good thing. Better software that works towards the public interest requires liability and professional accreditation. You can't take the, "move fast, break stuff" approach when your software is being used to monitor and control water filtration plants or food safety processes in a manufacturing facility. That works for the Facebook's of the world but they are by no means the be all and end all of professional software development.

> One of the basic premises of anti-immigrant policies is that you can somehow influence the ratio of "useful" vs "not-useful" immigrants.

That's actually one of the basic premises of pro-immigrant policy, too (perhaps even moreso than anti-immigrant policies.)

Actually, anti-immigrant groups favoring a hard closed door with little attempt to distinguish useless from useful are probably more significant among the anti-immigrant side than the opposite I idea,puren-source with little attempt to distinguish, is on the pro-immigrant side.
I never said it wasn't. My comment making a point about criticism in general addressed both possibilities.
I don't think these loopholes are "found", it is more that tax policy was meant to be a feel-good measure that sounds good (to some people) after a cursory inspection but doesn't actually accomplish what is claimed.

edit: and I realize I originally used the word "found"
TLDR: use illegal methods to find a crime, use that to make up a way to "discover" it legally. Present to a judge, easy conviction.
Which is one of the reasons why we give it has homework in college. Not because you're going to do it in the workplace, but because (a) you see how the implementation entails the big-O behaviour you learned about, and (b) it's simple but tricky, thus training you to consider every aspect carefully.

Aspect (b) is why people ask about it in interview questions. You are not expected to remember the details, you are expected to think about them as you go.

If you cancelled Netflix today and waited until 10/31/2017 (the release date of Season 2), you'd save $48-$72 (depending on which tier of Netflix you subscribe to). The big benefit of the "new" group of streaming services is that (with the exception of Amazon Prime) you can switch them on and off at will to save a bit of money here and there.
Taxing property, rather than income, can have this effect.

There's a much better argument for it historically because being a small country tended to end up getting you invaded or otherwise subservient to one or the other of your bigger neighbors. But that really an issue with most European countries today.

Larger/richer countries still tend to have more control over their own destinies but that doesn't necessarily translate to quality of living standards.

Be careful with "I believe that I am pretty much completely unaffected ads, but then so does almost everybody else."

This is in the same vein of inductive reasoning as "just snap out of your [insert mental illness/addiction/etc.]."

"People," in this context, isn't defined either. If however we were to say that by "people" you mean millennials, then you would be wrong.

But if you meant "the population at large" you would be correct.

Although, the second statement is tangential to the article at hand.
What the book was actually about was the worry that the France was losing its national identity, the framework upon which it was built was Christianity. They want to preserve that identity. I don't think it's about skin color, but about shared cultural values that they found to be appealing and necessary. As it happens, white people were those people. You could easily reverse those roles with any other skin color.

This is a type of reaction that people have when faced with what they perceive to be a quick cultural change. Things to them were goo as they were, so changes present a threat to that stability. It's human nature.
OK. I've worked on several EVs with 100kW motors. Lets do some math. A really good EV takes around 200 to 250 watt-hours per mile. On the EPA urban drive cycle you average just under 20 miles per hour. If you have 100 miles range, that will take around 5 hours in urban driving. A 40 watt load for 5 hours is 200 watt-hours. Your Intel processor running near 100 watts is going to cost you 2.5 percent of the range. Or if you look at costs, it's going to take that percentage of the battery cost to run it.

Sure an EV can suck 100kW or more of power, but only for a short time. And it can be put back into the battery via regenerative baking. Range is incredibly sensitive to electrical loads.
The WMD fiasco was certainly an example of fake evidence being used to push an agenda, I won't deny it, but there was at least an effort made there to construct a plausible narrative. Just today there were additional accusations made that microwave ovens are used for spying. Zero plausibility. Zero effort made to relate this to the real world.

The "Trickle Down" theory has, at its basis, a firm belief that empowering the rich will be better for America. Maybe it's a flawed theory, even a harmful one, but isn't intrinsically anti-American. Even in the worst days of the Bush administration, and there were plenty of those, it was utterly unthinkable that they'd wholesale sell out the country to a foreign power.

So here we are. The line between fact and fiction is blurred because of the volume at which the lies are shouted and the frequency with which they are repeated. The press is partially guilty here, but so is the public for not taking a second to go "you know, that doesn't sound right."
Most Americans are also scared of planes. Do we have to ban planes until they feel safe?

The argument is basically that it would encourage very wasteful behavior. If you think about it, people often work to make the lives of their children better off to a large extent. My grandfather who lives in a poor country living on a pension still sends me $100 he saved up periodically despite the fact that I'm wealthier than him by many factors.

Without the ability to pass on wealth to future generations, empires would not be built in some cases, end of life would include many wasteful lavish purchases and the black market for wealth transfer services would balloon
> I think you're mistakenly assuming the point of public school is to educate. I think it exists more so the proles have somewhere to dump their kids when they're working. The "education" happens to be incidental.

And it doesn't even do a good job at that either! Most public school start (830am) after parents leave for work and finish (3pm) well before parent's get off work to pick them or be home. Sure there are after school programs to cover it a bit but overall it's a pretty crappy schedule for a publicly funded babysitter.
I will counter your anecdote with another...
My wife never completed her undergraduate studies. After working her way from reception to middle-management, she bored of that career path and applied to a Masters program at a well-regarded institution, was accepted, and 2.5 years later, she has an expensive piece of paper.

With that paper, plus her decades of experience, she was able to transition into a career she likes. She's still in corporate America, but not middle-management.

My experience has been more along the lines of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12769385. I speak German and most people can't tell I'm a foreigner. It would be a lot less fun otherwise. You're really missing a lot if you only speak English.

It's a mistake to empower and legitimize the right. Rand Paul is an extremist on issues of life and limb. Just because he's "good" on this issue doesn't change that. In fact, it makes it more likely that he will be afforded the position of a moderate because he went against his party on this issue, when he is just as extreme as anyone in his party on any others.

It is something that Democrats will need to understand at some point. You have to deny them victories, even on issues that you support. It sucks but the right has outsized influence over the country because of party discipline like I've just described.
It's both. It's like a downvote in that it affects rank, and like reporting a post in that we monitor the flagged articles and take action based on flags. Sometimes the action is to turn the flags off.
From what I've read of the report, the 51% were all 100% legal immigrants. Therefore I'm wondering what exactly is the news story here? Would the Wall Street Journal really lead with a headline "Legal Immigrants Founded 51% of U.S. Billion-Dollar Startups"? I really doubt it... and think the title is disingenuous because it implies the notion that all immigration is good. I don't buy that line of reasoning and I haven't heard any compelling arguments or seen any verifiable data to back that up.

I do think that America--and indeed any country--should allow for, and advocate, that the best and brightest from around the world be allowed to legally immigrate.

But I agree with what capocannoniere is implying, that no one builds that kind of success alone.
