Then you don't understand the core problem.

You know what, I think people, in general, should be allowed to discriminate. The whole "right to refuse service" shtick - people shouldn't be forced to do things they don't want to do, even if they are following stupid beliefs.

That said, I recognise there are things that have to beat that. Just like free speech doesn't include shouting "fire" in a crowded theatre, we have to curtail people's right to discriminate where other people's lives are made unlivable because of it.

If someone refuses me, the white straight male, the chance to buy something, I go somewhere else. That's not the case for some minorities however. If everyone won't provide wedding services for you, or everyone won't let you attend a class, or everyone won't sell you food, you can't live your life. Commonly discriminated minorities have to be protected because they have a right to do what they want as well. Just as you are free to do what you want, but that doesn't include murdering people. You are free to refuse service, but not based on things that mean that person can't get service anywhere.

It's not perfect, but it's a solution.

Now, of course, that doesn't address another salient question - even if it's legal, why would minorities want restricted events?

Well, culture. Obviously in an ideal world events would be open to all and it'd all just work. The reality is, however, that culture can be a barrier. Let's take chess as an example.

Chess was male-dominated in part due to lack of education for women and it being seen as a male game. Obviously tournaments today are not restricted to men, but we still see less women.

That is, at least in part, because women never get exposed to chess because there is still cultural pressure that it's a "men's game". Women are excluded when they are young and never get a start. The intent of girl's only clubs and tournaments is to encourage women to get into chess, then they integrate into the larger chess scene. As time goes on, the societal stigma lessens and hopefully we end up in that ideal situation.
I'm not saying it's perfect, but it's not as corrupt as, let's say, Africa, or even Eastern Europe is. I'm Czech. :-)
Well, an other big limitation is that anything taller than a car can't fit underneath, so you'd need to leave at least one more free lane for trucks, buses and motorcycles.

You might have multiple options such as an E-2 and an O-1 or even EB1A green card. Regarding your job flexibility, this will depend on the facts, how your job duties are defined, because you are broadly limited to doing what is represented in the O-1 petition.
I feel unwelcome and uncomfortable when I enter the US on a Visa. The things I've seen border agents say make me feel like many border agents would love to find an excuse to deny anyone entry.

Is there any solution to this, or do I just need to accept that it's a part of it?
Spoiler alert, but I recall the police figuring out how to get around the requirements of getting a warrant to be a huge plot. Perhaps it showed a rosier than normal view of police getting warrants, but I feel like it definitely displayed a variety of situations where law enforcement did not follow the rules.
Wow this is cool and you did this really fast!

So you did kind of a functional style where each row represents an instruction being run with a full copy of the state of the VM at that point in time. Then each subsequent row is based on the state of the previous one. Am I reading that right? (I'm not familiar with Brainfk)
Bulding the Network is the best part about KSP, right?
No, it's because I'll get attacked for not agreeing with x y z position.

It's no longer acceptable to have discussions about such topics. It's no longer acceptable to just not stand in the way of such topics (I'm not against people being feminists for example, I don't care) - you must agree, or you're regarded as being against.

Unless you specifically agree with illegal immigration and feminism, then you are against them. That is the present approach taken by the left in the US (the right does it with various topics as well, such as gun control). We now live in an us-vs-them society, you have to choose a side or else.

My own observations of Honda vehicles suggest differently, but I have very few observations of Tesla vehicles, so I don't really have enough of a point of comparison to really disagree with that assertion.
Irrational fears? What are the chances of the rocket launcher blowing up with the reactor? How would we compute the fallout range as a function of altitude of the blast?
My wife and I have discussed this multiple times before, and feel the exact same way. All she wants is regular inclusion!

I think it is clear her gender has worked against her several times in the past. When she was running her startup, some suppliers would tell her to put them in touch with a decision maker, despite her clearly being one of two founders/execs.

The counter argument I have heard was: "this doesn't help create change in the industry".

We (the ones that are already here) don't need. The ones out, they need to get in. The way the tech club are pretending they are trying to invite more women and black men to tech doesn't work, because it is done mostly by white men. We should be the ones helping more to come.
Feminism is not simple as that.

> People ask me sometimes, when — when do you think it will it be enough? When will there be enough women on the court? And my answer is when there are nine.

This is from Justice Ginsburg, and a widely shared quote by a lot of feminist articles. This claim feels pretty vindictive to me and definitely not about equality. In the other words, it is not about REDUCE the inequality, it is about REVERSE the inequality.

YMMV. I personally don't know anyone who uses wireless charging for anything, and I work in IT.
As a layman, it felt like his article was addressed at professional psychologists, not laymen like myself (or, presumably, yourself).

It read like it was assumed that you'd realize how massively overblown such a result should be interpreted.

It would be like if you wrote a couple tests and your tooling said you had 100% code coverage, you be like "Wait, that just can't be right. I was just writing tests for one function..." Or imagine you go to download a 100GB file from some server and the download completes in 5 seconds, you'd be like "Wait, that.... just can't be right. I don't have a SSD, allocating the disk space alone should take longer than that..."

Of course, that just my assumption, and my impression.
The best way I think is: start with either, and prune what has been shown not to work in a version n+1 every few years iteratively.

Provide a good migration path (e.g. for a language that could be a n to n+1 transpiler), and you're set.
So is hydrazine and dinitrogen tetroxide is also all kinds of fun. Heavy metal toxicity is manageable.
I like how the article failed to mention the most obvious example. The military backed out support for the movie Independence Day because they didn't want to feed conspiracy nonsense about hiding aliens at area 51.

Clearly this is a propaganda effort to bend the truth into a lie..... right?

I also like how the article never mentioned military supported movies that indicate dishonorable conduct like Invisible War and The General's Daughter.

I think all these very obvious omissions were intentional because the article is wanting to indicate some level of propaganda. Tipping its toe into the pool of conspiracy foolishness.

EDIT:

I have rethought this comment (slow day at work). I do not mean to say the article is completely invalid. The fact of the matter is that the military holds trademarks over most of its common insignia, military bases are private property, and its personnel are employees. It has the right to offer or withhold any of its assets as it deems much like private entities.

That said the military has the right to disqualify commentary or stories negatively without qualification. I believe the word for this is disparagement. You can be negative about the military and still receive military support, but it must be qualified.

My personal opinion on the matter is the military does shape how it is perceived by the public through entertainment. It does shape that narrative. This has the potential to hint at, though very lightly, something resembling propaganda but I strongly believe this is not the intent.

If the public wanted the most accurate and realistic portrayal of the military they would receive their view of that world from journalism or documentaries. This isn't want the public generally wants though. They want entertainment and all the suspended disbelief that comes with it. If you believe this is unfair then choose books as your source of fiction on military interests, which don't appear to have any such manipulation.

Thank you Peter. If I go through the lottery again I may have 35% chance to get a new H1B and use it after Oct. 2018. Many companies wanted to hire me could not wait till then. I'm considering to get legal help to activate the H1B I'm going to get very soon.
True. I didn't read that series far after the first book, so I will not presume to debate you on that. :)
In fairness to CBP, not all is aboveboard and rosy at the border but at the end of the day, it's individual officers and their supervisors who make decisions regarding admissibility although they are guided of course by the overall directive from DHS and the administration.
But that's effectively the same goal. If you engineer it to work for 2 years as cheaply as possible, you're probably engineering it to break after 2 years. Would we get better results from "it must cost max X, how can we make it last as long as possible and be repairable?" Probably, but the incentives don't reward it.
I have some questions regarding the E-2 Visa.

An early stage startup could run extremely lean in the early days so how do you estimate a substantial investment amount?

What are some common pitfalls in the application process?
No. HEAD is the same as GET, but the server should not return a response body. The response code and headers should all be the same. This is to guarantee that a path is serviceable, response body size, and for verifying the client's cache.
My personal thought on this is that those who devote themselves to these movements internalise them in such a way that the movements define their identity.

Once the goal of the movement is achieved, that part of their identity necessarily needs to disappear and because this is such a difficult thing to do they simply shift the movement's goalposts to keep their internal purpose alive (usually toward a regressive point).

Hi Peter!

I am an software engineer in a French startup that will be participating in an accelerator in the US for a couple of months.

I am from an african country so I need a visa to travel to the US. Also, I am en employee, not a co-founder, and I don't have any shares or stock in the company. Also, I will continue being employed and paid by the French company.

What visa should I apply for ?

I did a lot of research and I think I should apply for a B1 visa. But since it is not supposed to cover "productive work", I am not sure 100%.

I totally support this. I accidentally cracked the touch screen of my car radio console. The car is nothing special, a Ford Mondeo that is a few years old.

Cost to replace touch screen module: more than the entire value of the car! That is insane. Effectively, if I want to claim from insurance - crack the touch screen (it is a replaceable module) and have to scrap the entire car.

In this case, I managed to get a replacement (fitted) from a scrapped car for 1/10 of the price the Ford dealer was quoting me.
I'm not much of an economist but I think most investors know full well that they have a negative interest rate. I think it's still attractive because it's safe since the governments are unlikely to default (so you'll lose the interest but probably not anything else). Like stuffing the mattress with gold ingots, except more convenient.

I could be wrong though, but that's the only way negative interests make sense to me.
I think you make an excellent point here. The standards of professionalism have shifted to accommodate the "startup culture" ethos which tends to favor a "fun and productive" office environment instead of the traditional "professional and productive" office environment. This is the result of individuals from younger generations building companies with an idealistic vision of what a company can be. They imagine they want to come into a workplace where everyone is friends and everyone is comfortable joking around and we're all just here to have fun and make money, nobody ever takes it too far and there's really no need for HR because we're all friends here... but of course, the reality is often quite different from what is imagined and you end up in a situation where people start brushing inappropriate behavior under the rug because it causes cognitive dissonance for those who are champions of the "fun" culture.
So it's fine if there are nine men in court but not nine women? I don't get your point. Shouldn't it not matter? You are also arguing that one persons opinion represents an entire group.
Well that phrase was attached to the idea that followed it in the same sentence more than it was attached to the entirely different sentence that came before it. People lie and cheat inherently, but the goal of capitalism is to make as much money as possible. So naturally companies are going to do that, which is why government regulation exists.

Note that I'm not trying to compare economic systems or argue for/against any particular economic system, just pointing out that the goal of capitalism is to make money, people inherently cheat and lie, so in a capitalistic society people will lie and cheat to make money. We all know this is true, which is why private companies are regulated by public agencies. The diesel cheating scandal was a failure of regulation enforcement more than anything.
It would be great if such kind of criticism would start by just writing down what it sees in that diagram. What I see without training looks totally normal and as if it would be validating the claim strongly.
That's very hard to answer in the abstract but those are the two options that many Indian and Chinese nationals look at - and oftentimes, the EB1A is a real option for bright and talented individuals. Again, the EB1A standard, while high, isn't as high as most people think.
Lessons learned building a toy compiler
I'm not drinking anybody's kool-aid. If you think a 691 bhp Tesla is going to wear it's parts the same way as a 278 bhp Accord, I have no words for you. That's not even taking into account the much higher acceleration forces, G-forces, etc. that the parts in a Tesla are going to be dealing with, plus the fact that it has a completely different center of gravity and that affects how every component of the suspension wears.

I'm not saying Tesla build quality is higher or lower, I'm saying it's comparing apples and oranges. Once Tesla has a production everyman's car available, then you can actually say something. I know five people who own Model S's and they do not drive them like Accords, and if their stories are anything to go by, most people who own them drive them like performance cars. That means hard corners, rapid acceleration and deceleration, and high speeds (and given the crap quality of our roads around here, a lot of turbulence too).

It's also worth noting that Honda's have decades upon decades of previous models to build off of. Tesla's been around since what, 2003? And they didn't have a car to show until 2008.
Triga counts as one of those iiuc.
why don't we have low altitude blimps? ones that pick up a car and drop it off between the car's destination and the next customer? or pull it by cable using a filtering bike of sorts?
>We're even further away from practical electric ATVs or motorcycles

As far as banning non-zero emission vehicles? In cities, especially in Europe, it's likely to happen a lot sooner than you might think.

And sure, rural areas will depend on ICE vehicles for longer than urban areas. That's no different than how there are plenty of places where it still makes more sense to ride a horse than to drive a vehicle. Edge cases are edge cases.
CS, pure math, physics, and applied math are all around the same level of upwind in terms of what your education gives you in terms of critical thinking. In terms or workforce, CS is probably more upwind, especially as an undergrad degree. Even more upwind is electrical/computer engineering (in Canada at least, where engineering is tightly regulated).

It is unlikely that the skills you are taught will limit your long term success; after an undergrad in CS you can still get an MBA or to go grad school in many many fields. However, you'll be ahead of many people with only an undergrad degree: math and physics undergrads often find themselves with a skill set that doesn't apply particularly well to any specific job. CS and comp/elec eng are pretty universal, and you'll have flexibility with who you can work for. If you decide in 7 years that you're done "workin for the man" in "the system" you could go work in IT at Jackson Hole and ski your brains out.

> I don't think of race as a social divide, rather as something that you're born with and can't escape.

Race is a social construct, not a biological fact. (This is evidenced by the fact that racial identities shift, both “organically” and as the result of deliberate societal engineering; the effort in revolutionary México typified by La Raza Cósmica is an example of a (significant in effect, though incompletely successful) attempt at the latter.

Now, it's true that both of these processes tend to be slow, and the context of race in which you were born is likely (providing you don't move to a different part of the world) to be the one in which you live your whole life, or at least the variation will be small, but that's not because race is inherent, just that the socisl attribution of race evolved slowly most of the time.

> A social divide can crop up around it, but race in and of itself does not necessarily have to create a divide.

Racial identity is always a social divide; it may or may not be a significant social divide in general, in specific, concrete terms in the modern US, however, it's the second most significant such divide, behind that of economic class.
There's a recent news post about tech to retrofit EV charging stations onto streetlights.

That seems to address on street charging and parking.
There are bad professional places and good professional places - law and finance and rife with the things you describe. However, my "enterprise .NET software" experience was not bad. I just wore a button up, pants, and leather shoes and no one cared about my class background.

> Feminism is not simple as that.

I never said it was simple and I fully recognize there are countless gradients of all sorts in feminism. I believe it's unnecessary as a concept. Pursuing and agreeing with the concept of equality nullifies feminism - that is my opinion. It's a very unpopular opinion with the left today. I've been having discussions about feminism for two decades online, there is hardly any conversational ground I haven't covered in the process.
>Hopefully it won't be different. All I want to say is: a startup here has to internationalize from the beginning, assume costs and expose itself to early competition"

Sure but why is that any kind of impediment? You have the whole continent sitting there. Hasn't the EFTA made access to those other 28 countries easier?

One of the things that I think Spotify did well was building a buzz, so much so that people were using VPNs to get accounts. It was a real news item when it finally became available in some countries such as the US.

I thought that Deezer was building up a similar anticipatory buzz as an EU export a while back. However, I think they may have waited too long.
