Europe has an immigration policy of "you have a degree and a company is willing to pay you above average? Here's your residence permit!" (Obviously background checks are done). I guess their logic is that's a skilled trained worker who will be paying taxes and increase the private sector's productive output, why would a quota be needed? And skilled workers should not be a drain on resources since there's a sane tax system instead of a "steal from the poor, give to the rich" mentality.

As for refugees, letting them in should be like helping the people from that burnt down tower, it's about being human.
Nickleback is a good example of a band that keeps the guitar alive. Yes, they don't play ANY soli (or do they?), but they get serious airtime and I haven't heard kids call them old-fashioned..

You actually have to practice and have some skill to play guitar... not to mention finding a bassist, and an actual, real-life drummer, at minimum, for a full band.

Compared to dicking around with a laptop and calling yourself a DJ, or slapping some drum loops and autotune on top of some vocals, rock music does require some actual work.

I find your links completely soulless and unimaginative (mostly rehashing 80s black music) so to each their own I guess :) Not that I dislike them, they're just... plain (to me).

I really like Todd Terje, which you linked, but I wouldn't call it subtle in any way (it's just generic italo-disco updated to sound like 21st century dance music). It's something I'd play to dance on a night out, not to listen and enjoy as art.

Well, both links feature live drum beats so... ;) Amongst other instruments (Shpongle's flute is analog, Younger Brother features analog instruments both at the studio and live).

As I expected it's a matter of taste (as expected) more than medium.

I can see you like funk influenced music full of harmonic complexity. You might like some 70s electronic music I guess? Try https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LF438wbUTI (Beaver & Krause, pioneers on electronic music). There are literally too many productions to chose from until I hit the key that tingles your own personal taste :P

We'll never agree but I'm glad we exchanged opinions (and I'll keep an eye on that Redinho guy!)
You envy him for the available content and equipment, but he should envy kids in the 80s of the ease with which you could build a well-paying career if you played well. Nowadays you better produce songs on your laptop because the money earned with streaming might not suffice for 5 people. The trajectory of what is possible is just way flatter.

I've never been to Nepal, but my guess is that there could be both similar and and different ways (from the Indian ways) of making tea, in Nepal. Similar, because India and Nepal have some common cultural background in some areas, and different, maybe because Nepal is near Tibet. E.g. had been reading about those areas recently, and had read that Tibetans make tea with (yak?) butter and salt. Think I read that some Nepalese make it that way too. And I actually tried having tea with (regular cow) butter and salt once, it was not bad :)

I do have very strong funk roots, but I've walked extensively into prog, fusion, and recently classical music (which any sophisticated piece of jazz and fusion will go into once they leave the groove sections a bit aside).

Terje beat is subtle, other than that it's as simple as it can get.

It does influence my needs though, Funk, and Jazz have a swing, a tension that I often need in music, unless it's displaced by classical crescendos.

Search problem of software development teams
My generation, the last of generation X, probably wanted to express existential angst with loud music such as altern rock and metal – music centered around distorted guitars. Metal took more hopeful '50s and '60s guitar music and turned it into darkness and despair, just like the hippie philosophy and in a way the general world view did.

The millennial generation – my younger brother – clearly follows a different path, more into electronics, going out, partying, and oriented towards the self. I feel they prefer to (comparatively) focus more their own little bubble and pleasure, and less scream about general misery or the state of the world.

I'm a guitar player and one of the last of generation X, and as an angry aggressive male I simply can't imagine hopping around on electronics as an outlet. I think guitar music and specifically heavy genres are far from dead – especially here in Northern Europe – but young(er) people have a different way of expressing and listening to music which is not very guitar-centric. They don't necessarily want to sit down and listen to a record full of doom music like us metalheads did/do, or at least, that's not the main way of enjoying music. It remains to be seen how much this pattern of music consumption will influence how people experience music in the long term.

That's missing the point. You don't starve on a low carb diet.
A decade ago, before the war in Syria, I hitchhiked from Europe to Egypt for my winter holiday. When I was at the Jordan-Israel border, I got a little extra scrutiny from the Israeli officials, because I had -- besides passport stamps from some hostile countries -- in my backpack some textbooks for Kazakh and Tatar linked to my university studies at the time, and the latter had a picture of Kazan's main mosque on the cover. And yet, the official seemed quite knowledgeable about these things, and realized that loads of people interested in Central Asian area studies would have books like that and that didn’t mean they had any interest in Islam etc. So, we chatted about that and Russian/CIS politics for some time and then I was let through. The Israelis must have been carefully observing my body language etc. according to their security policy, but still everything was quite friendly and reasonable.

But I doubt that most American officials would ever be so informed about the outside world and reasonable. The last time I visited the US, I was asked about a Kazakh visa in my passport in so harsh a tone it sounded like a reprimand for just having one at all (and in spite of the name ending in -stan, Kazakhstan is generally about one of the most secular countries in Eurasia). And if border control staff don't know anything, one can only expect the worst from the TSA, a job that requires almost no qualifications.
A gender breakdown for both single and married would also be useful. For marriages there should also be another dimension based on the health of the marriage.

Recent literature suggests that men are lonelier than women which incites my curiosity on gender differences in this topic. I've been theorizing that if true, those men who fall further below the envelope of social interaction end up having greater difficulty in developing and maintaining relationships as they age.
The headline is a bit silly, the electric guitar isn't going anywhere.

The actual point it is trying to raise is the guitar is losing it's position as the centerpiece of pop music. The guitar solo, rhythm and lead guitars at the forefront. That's the element that's changed over the years.

Guitars still play a role in popular music, but they're just one part of a multi faceted layer of instruments and sounds.

Last time Little Snitch was discussed here on Hacker News[1], I mentioned this:

One preset that I would love is "maximum privacy while user initiated outbound still works". So my browser would work because I initiated it, but everything OSX or apps do in the background are blocked. Automatic updates are blocked? Good! Network time sync is blocked? Fine by me. Only what I initiate gets through. Can you do that as a preset please?

Did they do that?

Seriously, I love the idea of a reverse firewall, but I don't want more work to do. I don't want to analyze connections, look at visualizations, read logs, react to alerts, set up filters, and configure rules.

I just want a high security, maximum privacy system.

you need sudo for PyCryto or you need to su root b/c when it compiles on linux it needs to write to tmp directories that normal users cannot.
For instance, contrary to the belief of many students

sin(x + y) is NOT sin(x) + sin(y)

(x+y)^2 is NOT (x^2) + (y^2)

sqrt(x+y) is NOT sqrt(x) + sqrt(y)

1/(x+y) is NOT (1/x) + (1/y)

Wow, seriously? Especially the one with the fraction is painful. I'm not sure if university is the right place for people who still make mistakes like that at that age (if they had more than a decade of public school behind them). Certainly not STEM fields.
From my experience lead engineers are still 70-80% hands on so they definitely need to be strong technically. Lead engineer would therefor be responsible for technical choices, system design and other decisions that depend on tech knowledge. It also helps if you are strong technically as you will earn respect of engineers in your team faster. What you are describing is more of a product manager role.
My problem with Little Snitch is that it throws too much information at me, or it's better to say that I care too much for the information that it provides (and it provides a lot of information). What I would like to see is exactly what you said, a preset that would disable everything besides browser and what I initiate.

Edit: Ok so I installed Beta, and it asks you on initial setup page if you want to enable or disable all iCloud and macOS services (respectively, they are completely separated options). That's cool!

>if our ancestors were strongly religious, it was because it was necessary for survival. If they were attached to particular religious theory for a long period of time it's because that particular theory held society together. If they preferred religion over Aristotle it was because Aristotle's philosophy was outdated and mostly baloney.

Ask HN: Is AirBnb / Jumio's ID Verification Trustworthy?
Trying to book an AirBnB for a holiday, I discovered that their booking service now requires that you upload a scan of your passport to a company called Jumio for ID verification purposes.

Obviously, that opens up a fairly large range of potential threats if the images ever leak. I figure if any group will know, HN will - is this a serious risk? Is there a reason I should trust Jumio with copies of important documents and assume they'll never have a data breach? Or is this a "sorry, but I'm never using AirBnB again" moment?
Works like a charm on my 1800x system, people who say this OS is mostly for embedded systems probably never even used extensively the other versions of 10 or they're just addicted to some (shit) features of 10 like Cortana, Windows Store and being fine with Microsoft mining their data through their 50 methods of telemetry.(Even though even LTSB versions have telemetry and can only be disabled with some 'extreme' tweaking which would result in no more updates for the OS)

It's the exact equivalent of an Ubuntu LTS version for example(though Ubuntu comes with a lot of pre-installed software): it's bare naked and stable, without all the unnecessary features(Specially the N version) and with less telemetry.

You can still get all your features out of your hardware, you just got to manually install the drivers, which for the most part is better than letting Windows install them automatically anyways.
>I don't listen to much electronic music, but I find no subtleties or sensitivity in what I hear.

Personally, I listen to whatever triggers the release of happy hormones in my brain. I think this varies from person to person, but for most people (and me) it's close to pop. I'm fine with this being not high culture.

There's lots of sophisticated electronic music, but those are different subgenres to the point where they have less in common with the garden variety techno than they have with other genres. If you want to out-jazz jazz then something like Amon Tobin would probably interest you.
