This practice is so rampant apparently there's a Wikipedia page for it now: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Border_Patrol_in...

I'm not sure if the 100 mile thing is a new convention or not (https://www.aclu.org/other/constitution-100-mile-border-zone) but it's 100 miles from the border as the crow flies, not via highways. That means the entire state of Vermont is somehow inside that zone.

I think the 200 mile figure that was reported, though I can't find the citation, involved the driving distance. Vermont, for example, is 159 miles end to end, and somehow the southern tip is in the border zone.

What if they decide this entire zone is worth putting up cameras in? What if that software that recognizes "illegals" is so bad that it simply tags anyone who looks vaguely Mexican? These systems are only as good as their data, and the data is astonishingly thin in areas where it counts.

Not too mention pure ROI ignores the fact that on the stock market you lose everything, investing in education is supposed to result in intangibles like gasp better education and adaptability to the market. In other words, lower risk.

2% gain for risk of losing everything in one bad go is a bad deal.

Of course just like bad investments in the market there are also bad investments in education.
I also wonder why Apple allows some apps to accept payments via credit card yet others need to use the built in payment solutions?

EDIT: some research later indicates that it's possible allowing a user to sign up outside the app (and outside a webview initiated by the app) skirts around the policy [1], since the user can return to the app and log in, then use their account for payments.

My suggestion. Forget the startup for the moment (unless you already have an idea) plan a 6 month trip to Asia. Take some time planning it, figure out the best time to go. Then quit shortly before you go. When you get back take some more time off, work on your own project, or some open source. Our maybe you came up with an idea. Then go back to Google, or somewhere else.
The thing is you are young enough to stop also be able to get a job. And who knows, maybe you will find a better one.

And your morals involve insecure borders? No one's getting deported.

The implication of your argument is that cameras make borders more secure and therefore it's a good idea to have them. Cameras obviously don't stop people crossing a border physically like a wall would, so the only possible way they'll improve security is by providing evidence of who crossed. Your assertion that "No one's getting deported" is obviously wrong - if that were the case there'd be no need to have the cameras in the first place.

Lisp Machines were invented as the first personal workstations, because the common hardware was timeshared PDPs. The researchers wanted powerful personal computers with interactive user interfaces - something which did not exist at that time.

Still that was not the question. The question was why 1000 times faster computers with much more space should not be able to run Lisp applications when in the 70s it was possible to run a whole OS on tiny machines.
Very good point, and yes there's a lot of research showing that humans are terrible at recognizing faces from other races. No idea why you're being downvoted.

"Painting" it in this case would be a flow chart thingie with an action leading to a decision tree with two outputs. Not extremely complex, and with a bit of practice and a good environment, it probably takes about the same amount of time as writing.

There might be other cases where this is not true, but I think the major gains with a proper visual environment would be on a higher abstraction level. Visualizing the architecture of a project, tracking dependencies, etc.. Basically tasks where your "takes longer to draw" argument is nullified by the fact that it is the computer that does the drawing.

This is a low effort comment that adds nothing to the conversation.

The most generously I can interpret this is that you are claiming that the poster you are responding to does not authentically hold the views you disagree with. Please correct me if I'm wrong here, because if that's all you've got, it's a horrible way to argue and poisons debate.

Apply it to yourself - a quick overview of these threads show that there are a lot of people who share your viewpoint, do you think that me claiming that you don't authentically hold those views and are only arguing them in order to get people to like you would be a good addition to the debate?

Claiming that nobody could possibly have a genuine different opinion to you says more about you than about them.

I would agree with this, and also that the 'damage' caused by "Everyone gets a trophy" is overstated immensely. My experience having coached children's basketball was that the consolation and participation prizes did little to nothing to console the children when they lost. Even if they got a ribbon or a tiny participation trophy, it didn't change their sour mood over losing unless the children genuinely weren't that interested in the competition to begin with, in which case I don't really think there's a problem in not being that invested in a competition.

Undeserved praise and adoration does have negative side effects, and it likely isn't the healthiest way to raise children, but the over-emphasis on celebrating participation isn't the society ruining factor people make it out to be. At worst it's probably just a waste of resources and effort.

On the other-hand, parents over-stressing and vicariously experiencing competition through their children is a very real problem, and the behavior of some of the adults I would see at gradeschool basketball games was just shocking, especially given that it was low division schools, so mostly just after-school sports. (i.e., there was no professional path here or proper competition for any child looking to take a chance at professional play someday - it was a bunch of 8 year olds running around the court, most of which couldn't even throw the ball high enough to reach the rim of the lowered basket). To see parents yelling and screaming at their kids to shove and hurt other children in order to win was just ridiculous.

This article is pretty strange. It opens with
"...he was quietly ousted from Facebook after a $100,000 donation to a pro-Trump ‘shitposting’ group came to light."

However, the linked article doesn't say that. It says he gave $100,000 to Trump's inauguration. The linked article also references figures like "Microsoft, which donated $500,00", "Qualcomm, which donated $1,000,000". In fact, the article's title makes this clear: "...donated $100,000 to Trump’s inauguration"

How could a "reporter" and his editor be so confused that they completely misinterpret another article hosted on their own site? More importantly, why is this trash on Hacker News?
This challenges the conventional foodie wisdom that wild

food regulators recognize this. Both the Food and Drug

fish served in restaurants must be previosly frozen
unless aquacultured.

So.... what's the problem, exactly? If the fish came from a farm, it's (apparently, according to the article) safe.

Mindlessly downvoting is not a valid answer.
I know and cannot deny the enormous effort of OCE. I tried to develop a simpler parametric 2d cad once for almost two years, but couldn't keep up with the complexity before getting myself /something/ I could use.

This is why I keep trying. FreeCAD is the closest package we got to a decent CAD in an OSS package, and I cannot wait to avoid using closed software in my designs.

But I'm just stating facts here: I couldn't follow the tutorial without incurring in crashes. I similarly tried CadQuery, but incurred with mostly the same issues.

But like I said, the issues are also on the UI, not just on the OCE engine.

UNDO management is often completely broken. Undoing line properties for instance used to only partially revert line properties, but revert previous geometry changes as a side effect. I got crashes just by toggling snapping states (even before hovering over the geometry that would cause some actual computation to be done). I thought I could help on those issues, but the build process involving OCE is time consuming and requires some non-trivial time investment before you can become an effective contributor (as for most large projects - cannot blame anyone here).

I occasionally use FreeCAD also as a simple 2d (non-parametric) CAD package. Still very frustrating. You would think we had more options for 2d drafting, but not really. I do not consider qcad/librecad to be real CAD packages. They're like toys in my eyes. I used inkscape (yes...) with greater results.

Yep, in fact he supposedly supports Ron Paul, but Nimble America is definitely a more Trump-ish, alt-right-ish type of thing.

According to Luckey, they made some memes that he liked. Maybe they were not racist memes, but I do not know. Maybe Luckey did not know about some of their worse memes. Anyhow, he threw them a chunk of money. We can infer without greater evidence that Luckey is racist simply because he donated to something.

All of that said, the one and only attack on free speech is censorship. Censorship comes in many forms, including the form of shaming people. I think what the alt-right does is dumb, but at the same time, they hide in their own dark corner of the internet and I never have to interact with them so I am fine carrying about my business. Luckey donating to Nimble America had a similar lack of effect on me.

So I made an open-source Cloud PaaS like ownCloud, but with file conversions, OCR, and a bunch of other stuff. To help "sell" this free software, I've fired up some in-house servers (fast as hell by my standards) to test/demonstrate the platform.

> Privatize student loans entirely, and give them eligibility for bankruptcy.

Considering most college graduates have nothing but tons of debt behind them on their graduation day (and that's if they graduate, a fairly big maybe in the US), the incentive to declare bankruptcy the day after graduation is extremely strong.

No private investor is going to rush to profit from this questionable opportunity, and aspiring college student will be left with advice to "work a few years, save up, and then see what happens" or "talk to your parents about home equity loans".

The overwhelming majority of the country lives within 200 miles of a border (since ocean borders count as borders). 66% of the country lives within only 100 miles of the border.

So even if you're talking about something that "only" applies to the 200 mile region, you're still talking about something that applies to the vast majority of people actually living here.

> I don't think it matters how much you believe in yourself

That's not what OP said. Quote:

> Self-esteem is a byproduct of self-compassion

Self-compassion is not believing in yourself, it's accepting yourself as-is. And not just accepting in the sense of "settling for it". But having the same respect and nice feeling about you that you have about the others your like.

While outside validation helps a lot in one to avoid rejecting oneself, it just removes a (huge) barrier for building self-esteem. Self-esteem can't come from outside.

The problem with other people validating you is that as soon as you loose it, you loose what you though was self-esteem. And you get angry, you blame, you can't find solutions, and you ever give you all the responsibilities or remove yourself from all of them.

If you succeed and get praise, it then inflate your ego and narcissism.

But once you build self-compassion, even when you screw up, you still like yourself. But you can still see your fair part of responsibility in all this. And when your succeed, liking yourself as you are, you know what's really you, and what's really coming from outside help and luck. And you don't inflate your ego.

One obvious issue with this post is that it uses historical S&P500 returns from a period of high performance. To be predictive, it would have been helpful to also examine expected future returns for the next 10-20 years, which are generally considered to be lower (based on valuation metrics such as mkt cap to GDP, P/B, CAPE10, etc). To put a number on that, perhaps 4-6% nominal, instead of 7%+ from 1993-2017.

It would have been helpful to model tax effects as well. Those generally do favor investment over labor, but with a positive first derivative (the top US cap gains tax rates are rising much faster than labor rates, e.g. from 15% to 23.8% from 2012 to 2017).
I don't think this comparison is sound.

First of all, are you investing the same money in both cases? Even with a smaller annualized ROI you can earn more by investing more at the start.

This brings us to the second point: if you skipped college to just invest in the market, where are you taking the money? I would be very surprised if you managed to obtain a loan of some tens of thousands of dollars by stating that you will invest then. And even if you did, the blog post calculations didn't account for the interest rate that would necessarily have to be included in this case. Let's say you invest your savings then. The majority of teens out of high school has little to no savings, and it's a fact that jobs you can apply to out of high school pay much less than those requiring a degree or more (at least in the first few years).

What global warming is about, not the religious babble in articles like this, is how bad is it? and how bad is dealing with it?

Then as a scientist and logical person go down the best route.

And the evidence to me is clear, the best route is to not deal with it. Hence we once again start a religious war in threads like this.

How to deal with these religious wars is unclear, but if you want to really help the world, solving this would be an amazing start.

A large part of the population will always be religious, be it about the gods or GMO's or Global warming. How does one solve these issues? This is really where it's at.
