It'll happen on a small scale while this is working itself out, certainly, but it is hard to imagine a true defacto or dejure uniform ban on people without social media accounts.

The right gets upset over insurance requirements, hard to imagine a real requirement to have a Twitter account.
Time to set up a startup to fake believable social media traffic, I guess.
How do you use them? And what prices do you typically pay for the services you use?
I predict there will be services that make a shadow account for you. (They probably already exist).
Why doesn't Twitter ask to solve a captcha every time before one can send a message?

It is a SyFy show. They have a reputation of producing the worst garbage, while simultaneously blocking the option. Thats why they are generally disliked by various fanbases, that would rather see their worlds given proper justice to. Examples are A Wizard of Earthsea and Dune. But honestly, good book adaptions are just crazy rare anyhow.
Then this is crap. Yes, I have FB, but I _view_ it maybe once per month. I _post_ far less frequently. Twitter? Sure, I follow my local city tweets so I know about things like power outages and when the trees will be cleared after the hurricane.

Some of us just don't need the world to know everything about us all the time.

I'm convinced there's two types of people. Those who draw energy from other people and those of us who get peopled out after a short time and need to be alone for a while to recharge. Being social _exhausts_ me so I would rather my social interaction be in real life not making some privacy invading corporation money.
Wow, this article is extremely disingenuous with the notion that P4 is the first vendor-agnostic way to control forwarding behavior in switches. OpenFlow has been around for years now and is a vendor agnostic way to control forwarding behavior and it allows packet injection as well.

I get that a startup has to pretend this is a huge foundational advancement, but P4 is really an incremental improvement to the state of SDN that openflow brought. Disappointing that they don't even acknowledge it once.

EDIT: missed that it affects naturalized citizens too, but see below.
Not alone. I find the problem most people have is no suitable example they can think of. The examples we have online are "starbucks as REST", etc. A better example is the greatest REST client ever made: the web browser. When Facebook updates their "app", I don't even need to restart my "client" to get the updated features. These days I start all "REST: you're doing it wrong" conversations with this.
Then you are not immigrant.

The law is obviously offensively bad, and I do not support (dual citizen to the US), but I think the bigger problem here is any country can do this now -- and any of them that can get away with doing this will do it. The real solution is get the fuck off facebook.
So like the US?

EDIT: I get that this doesn't make Japan any better - it's still invasive, but it's pretty much the low bar these days, whereas collecting social media accounts is a massive step further.
I really get frustrated at how many small appliances I end up throwing out. It just doesn't make sense to repair a food processor that breaks. This stuff that's made with a plastic housing doesn't last more than 5 years in my house.

Then I look over at my Kitchenaid mixer. You know the iconic one that would look right at home in the kitchen of the 1960s. It's constructed durably, it's repairable, and people go out of their way to spend more to get it. I can get it repaired if it breaks. Why can't all appliances be like my Kitchenaid mixer?
Yes, the thing this replaces is basically the proprietary Broadcom API down at the switch level.

Commercial rates are generally lower than home retail rates, night-time rates are also on the low side, and your hardware is effectively free if you're using idle time.
The problem - is simply dimensions..

I had a ikea desk, which is simply not deep enough - when i sit on it, my hands palm are on the border of the desk. You can not work this way.
I bought 1.5 right around $2500 because I had the money and was willing to lose it. I figured worse case scenario it's a lifetime supply of scratch off lottery tickets in one shot :)

Sold it in one transaction right around $4700, so a nice return. Never buying any more unless it drops below $2k, I think.
Because people would complain at spending Kitchenaid mixer prices for a toaster.

But, that being said, I completely agree with you.
The Atari console comes in a pretty case. I was going for a comparable device, not something that runs similar software.
So hide the advanced options, like Firefox and its about:config. Even ask the user to solve some technical puzzle (hex math, perhaps) to prove they are worthy.
You say that steam engines not liking diesel engines is an example of racism? I guess that goes to show you can find racism everywhere if you look hard enough.

Slow card writes: CF is faster than all SD formats, IIRC. Which is why high end cameras always have CF. Usually at least on the Canon side for the past few generations they couple this with SD. If you shoot to an SD slot, you notice the buffering a lot more than if you shoot to the CF. FWIW, I've only very rarely encountered issues after purchasing a high end CF on high end Canons. Currently I have a 5DS. Previously 1DS Mk III.

At this point in time i still wonder why people physically move from one part of the world to another to hear somebody speak. What is wrong with live streaming? (and record, download and re-play)
global menu, left side dock paradigm (integrated with top bar), the HUD.

Personally, I don't use unity, but I find these features attractive.
I think a better reading would be that the stories encapsulate attitudes in 1940-50's Britain. The social cohesion that was necessary during the war effort, the threat of the cold war etc.

It is also being extended to legal aliens and citizens (naturalized - like me)
By this logic, when this administration starts discriminating people who are into programming ("they cause cyber terrorism," might be the excuse) we shall all "get the fuck off programming"?
Don't watch the movie. I read halfway through the book when the movie came out. I excitedly watched it in film form. But I only ended up disappointed. It turned me off not just from the film but from the book itself.

I really enjoyed Fall of Hyperion. It's very different from Hyperion, but I think the plot is still very satisfying. Endymion and Rise of Endymion are okay and interesting in their own way, but a definite step down IMO.
It seems that I didn't explain the model I have in mind: the washing machine would be installed in my house, and I pay them a monthly fee, which I can discontinue any time, at which point they'll come take away their washing machine.

In this model, I have the washing machine to use whenever I need it. If it breaks, or if I need a bigger capacity model, or I'm not happy with its performance, I can immediately switch to another supplier. Paying for the entire machine up front closes my options. They already have my money, so they can offer poor service and get away with it.
>With that amount of money, can't you just end poverty directly?

Actually I don't know. If it is then that's certainly a good use of it and I agree that college is not an intrinsic good but ending poverty is. I suppose it's really a two-pronged problem. (1) We want to raise everybody up out of poverty. (2) We want people to be economically mobile, aka even in the case of UBI no-one wants to be a serf on the CEO's plot.
Bitcoin had an ICO...
So someone at Fidelity watched Mr Robot I think they missed some parts but lets see how this plays out...(starts thinking about moving investments away from Fidelity).

From a quick check at coinmarketcap, the daily bitcoin/dollar volume on BitMEX alone is $455 million. Next up is Bitfinex with $182 million.
not sure where I mentioned it should be tied to the "student's financial background". In fact it can be irrelavant. By the time student graduates, parents can say 'you are on your own', and the debt is still dangling.

The only deciding factor needs to be the outcome which is the employability or ability to make money to repay debts.

If the Outcome Rating for a program at a university is high, it means lower risk, and the university is responsible only for, say 10% of unpaid debt.

If the Outcome Rating for a program at a university is low, it means higher risk, and the university takes a much higher responsibility for ~ 50% of unpaid debt.
I'd missed that it still affect naturalized citizens too. But by the time they've gained citizenship most of these immigrants will already have given up their information and had a long time to get accustomed to accepting this.

They also not make up nearly a large enough group for it to be likely to have much effect.

30 minutes from a city center. For any coastal city, that is likely to be no worse as the time to get to an intercontinental airport.
Still means about 2h00 from NYC to Shangai, door to door. Quite an improvement over the 17hours today.

Non coastal cities have a problem...

In any case it takes care of most nimby as it's to far away for the neighbors to care. So reasonable, in that aspect.

Of course ITAR, fear of nuclear strikes etc... general FAA/EASA regulations remain issues for this business plan.

Weather will also be an issue. Flights rarely get canceled for weather issues. But transferring from a ferry onto a barge at high sea in bad wind seems like an non fun experience in a three piece suit.
I always thought it was standard procedure.
The real solution is to finally realise what these dynamics have slowly been amounting to for about 16 years now – a "death by a thousand cuts":

I'd hope some or even many countries would opt out of these restrictions as an incentive to tourism and business.
For me, it is possibly the menu/dock aspect, but for whatever reason it grew on me. I personally don't like the (Windows here) "click start -> hover applications -> drill down" method.

In the grand scheme of things, it is really just a taskbar in a vertical orientation, but I dunno, I just liked it after a while.

I understand the motivation of getting rid of it (the dislike of it from a lot of the user base, the development needs being able to be applied elsewhere, etc.) so I'm not going crazy over it or anything. Will miss it though.

Citizens. This rule also applies to US citizens.

Let that sink in for a moment.

Also, if you know/follow/connected-with an immigrant or naturalized citizen on a social platform, then YOUR data could be covered in this dragnet.
It varies greatly by school and reputation.

I doubt it is because of associate professors. More likely it is because of the size of the school, location, and type. I bet there are a lot of community college students in there.

A quick look in my area (New England) shows associates starting at about $60k and going up from there. But New England has a high cost of living so it is all relative.
So, they need to sell people in that first hour, to get the chance of telling the rest of the story.
You're right. Guess I'm trying to rationalize that something so ridiculous could never happen, but it already is...

It just works™. Plain simple window manager with good defaults.

Since 1995 I have tried every major window manager, nowadays I just use the default installations in any OS I use.
Not sure about others but I don't go to conferences mainly to hear somebody speak but everything around, meeting people and hearing all wonderful ideas from random people and more.

So live streaming doesn't really solve that.
Cocoa widgets for text entry in macOS support Emacs keybindings by default. Yes, TextEdit too. You cannot get nearer to beginning users than that.

But yes, it takes a time to get used to. But that's matter of familiarity.

To be honest, as an English person, I'd be quite happy for the US to have kept both of them along with anyone else who uses "destroy" in that context.

I have issues with the following line in that comic:

> when a man asks his partner to ask him to do things, He's viewing her as the manager of household chores

I disagree heavily with this comic. There's many reasons why he might've not helped by himself. In fact there's a good chance I would've acted like he had and not because I see females as household managers, but because I've been snapped at plenty of times for helping when it wasn't desired, and not helping when it is desired. Unless I'm a perfect mind reader the only winning move is not to play, so I refuse to play.

If you need my help you can very well ask for it. The only thing she would've needed to do in this comic to defuse in the entire situation is go "hey guy, help?".
Their solid wood and better-than-usual-finish furniture are not cheap though. So that goes out the window.

I agree with you. Actual bad actors are not going to attempt to enter the US with sympathetic ISIS (etc) posts on their public Facebook page. What will happen though is many immigrants will end up having entry denied based on an immigration officers interpretation of a post they made on Twitter 3 years ago.
I would like to upvote you, but I am genuinely afraid at some point HN is requested to share users' data, and someone at US GOV will ask me why did I sympathize with your message.

They're not unprofitable in general. They are for Fidelity, which is using it as a loss leader to keep their customer base from fleeing (Fidelity has a lot of overhead as a financial services firm).
That might be, and some might run back to the hotel room right after the seminar/conference is finished. Though primary reason of traveling for a conference is to hear that person speak at the conference, anything extra before/after talks that happens is bonus, not primary reason of travel.
Amazing story.

"Second, I helped develop a groundbreaking new area for China. My landlady’s son had an Apple computer. I’d never seen a computer before. I felt that the invention could change everything in human life, so I registered for computer language classes, learning alongside the college kids. I had to work hard to catch up as a person over 40 who had no knowledge of computer science. The computer center was open 24 hours a day, so I’d bring a cup of coffee and stay until 2 or 3 in the morning.

The skills I acquired helped me develop the fields of analog simulation and modeling when I returned to Tsinghua, combining computer science with traditional industry. This remains a cutting-edge field in China today, as it’s the foundation of intelligent manufacturing. My contributions led to my membership in the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the highest national honor in science and technology."
Uh... isn't that the entire point of a background check? To see if people are dangerous before they get in?

If I get a gun permit, should the cops not look at every public aspect of my history? Should we make it easier for people to have guns? Now the next snarky comment will say "guns aren't people." Yeah. But a background check is a background check.

What happens when a terrorist gets in (surely that'll never happen again!) and we find out their social media history was full of death threats? Will everyone feel the same way?

It seems like we've gotten to a point of public debate in this country where people completely live in fantasy worlds where they can lop off anything that happens in the real world that damages their arguments. Terrorism exists. Blame whoever you want but it does exist. And publicly posted information should be the #2 (after criminal record) thing to search. I mean... we WANT to catch the bad guys, right? Are we pretending that bad people don't exist?

While I don't like any government collecting more data then they absolutely NEED - many businesses (including startups) are collecting social media data on us for the purposes of marketing their products/services and no one bats an eye (not many outside the EFF at least). For the record, I'm not a fan of data collection for either purpose.

Some of the comments seem a little disjointed from the details. According to the article, only information that's publicly available online is collected, and specifically for those immigrating to the US, not tourists, conference attendees, etc. There are likely a lot of reasons for many people not to want to travel to the US, but this would probably be low on the list.

What's interesting about that and why would HN care if people are sharing private details of their life willingly?
that's not really the point. I have expenses that aren't strictly necessary that I could give up - but those are things I like. So, the question is, why should you claim to be retired and then work part time to afford extra things you like, vs just have a job and afford those things.
>It's just too simplistic to assume that throwing money at the problem will solve your talent problems.

My son has a book with a bunch of stories in them, 3 little pigs, Goldilocks etc but I stumbled on one story about "The wolf and seven sheep".

At the end of the story, the mama sheep cuts open the wolf's stomach and fills it with stones and then tosses the wolf into a river. I was stunned.. but that's what stories are, they aren't always nice little things to make your kids live in some fantasy world.

What a bullspit article.

Yes, I actually want to live in a society where people are a lot more open when it comes to expressing their emotions and feelings compared to a society which actively tries to supress them and instead rely on other social tools.

That's actually one of the few reasons why I've still not emigrated yet. The few countries which I now find economically stable are generally seen as "cold" when it comes to human interactions and expressing your feelings (Norway, Germany, Netherlands, Sweden) while the few other options which I found a lot more similar to my country (I now live in Romania) have been going through difficult economic times lately (Spain, Italy).
Large cap stocks are not generally considered to be illiquid investments, even though they're much smaller than major currency markets.
Yes, I used to visit a lot for business, and would love to go back on holiday too, but at this rate I'm not sure I want to. So far it's mostly been that I don't really have a compelling reason to visit, and it's just been tipping the scales in favor of other vacation locations etc., but the more stuff like this, the less attractive it gets.

It doesn't even need to affect me directly - it just contributes to an overall impression of not being welcome.
LOL.
