Asking this of naturalized citizens is ridiculous and probably against the 4th Amendment. As a group, you can't discriminate against naturalized citizens and natural born citizens except for the job of the presidency as prescribed in the constitution.

Not that it matters whether it's only people with green cards or work visas or any other category of people required to do this, but I'm hoping some precedents for data privacy at border crossings are set or overturned thanks to this ham-handed approach from the Trump administration.
Why didn't you fix it? (I don't mean this harshly, just curious.)

Ultimately, this kind of stuff is something IMO a professional programmer should just do. It's irresponsible to let stuff like this go and you should do whatever it takes to make management understand. In a healthy organization it shouldn't even be questioned by management, you just tell them you found a security issue that will cost the company billions and has to be fixed immediately. In an unhealthy organization, maybe you just slip this into some other work without telling management.

Performance shouldn't be an issue if you have a decent optimizing compiler and even in JavaScript I would think a decent runtime should JIT away the overhead.

Tangent but this is one reason C++ works nicely with a more functional style with lambdas - the compilers are pretty good about optimizing away any overhead resulting from function composition etc.

Can the figures for "Real Residential Housing Price Index for Canada" be correct? The quoted index values are:

2010: 36.3

2016: 413.9

I simply cannot believe there was an 11-fold price increase on this index over this period.

Googling I cannot match either of these figures to various Canadian real estate indexes reported on the web.
The concept originated in topology, where the parameters to your functions are points (in a space).
Oops, you're absolutely right.
One issue:

Big business have got drunk on low interest rates and corp. debt so cheap, making it very good for big business but negative for the majority of the worlds population.

So they like to see interest rates to remain very low, and have leverage with governments saying their business it at serious risk if interest rates were to return to 'more sensible levels'. Which is kinda true!

Also:

People with sufficient savings or disposable income have choose one of the few obvious/easy investment options and buy into property, either upgrading or buying more properties.

The wealthy who have access to good financial tools have also invested into property, both commercial and residential. Hence so many empty properties in London, that people complain about.

Driving up the price, so further squeezing the population who are not able to follow.

Hence the rise of Trump and others, promising to make America great again, cuz so many voters are being squeezed.

Low interest rates is like a drug addiction, but the addicts (big business) are not the ones suffering.

Hence the rise of popularism and the likes of Trump into powerful positions, but he is sitting on the side for businesses and not the person. He incorrectly believes recovery can only be found with big business, but I believe this just perpetuates the addiction.

Interest rates need to rise (ouch!) and companies must be forced to pay the taxes they owe. Also giving individuals with big investments (risks) into property to exit gracefully without the property market crashing, which hurts everyone.

And to be fair, if you view UNIX as the IDE, it fits with the idea of small programs working well together. GLOBAL actually gets pretty friggin close to perfect for code exploration in most languages. I haven't tried the latest completions modes. Mainly because I just haven't bothered setting it up. It is borderline terrifying to me to see how reliant on ridiculously powerful and integrated IDEs some folks have become.
You may choose to do that but it isn’t required, I listed three alternatives that work fine and there are probably more. Going in and out of an app all the time is inefficient.

This isn't new. There was an article six years ago about a bioactive tattoo ink that could measure blood glucose levels non-invasively (after the tattoo was applied, of course). The measurement required a sensor attached to an I-Phone and the sensor was estimated to cost several hundred dollars, but it would allow for frequent glucose measurements without finger sticks. Not continuous like CGM devices, but less painful and significantly less expensive.

So far as I know it still hasn't been approved by the FDA, and I don't know whether the developers are even still trying to get it approved.

Google also developed a sensor incorporated into a contact lens that provided non-invasive, continuous glucose monitoring at about the same time. Same result; not approved (that I know of) and no indication that it ever will be.
You have introduced another dimension here, and I don't think it's helpful in resolving language about single individuals.
Sometimes. But if everyone simply does what they think best, the result does not add up to a sensible whole. Therefore there is a necessary tradeoff between doing what you think is a good idea, and doing what someone else in the organization thinks is a good idea.

As bubbles go, this one seems rather localized. Looking at that infographic, one can see than in the real estate and stock market sections most clearly. In the former, most of the gains went to certain select markets, mostly in coastal cities. In the latter, most of the gains went to the usual few suspects such as AMZN, FB, and GOOG.

It might follow that we might see localized bursting rather than a system-wide meltdown if this "bubble" pops.
It's fun how when a big corporation is hacked it's always "a sate sponsored group with 0-days worth millions of dollars", but then again nation states themselves keep getting hacked by "a lonely autist in a basement that's just very smart for his own good".
I don't believe this is the reason. Apparently most of the existing team are going. Some key community members and developers' departures are already confirmed.

What isn't a 'state-sponsored attack' nowadays?
Seriously it's been a while since I've heard of an attack that wasn't eventually claimed to be state-sponsored.
Same. It's funny actually, last time I installed something on there I just assumed it was x86_64 and was thoroughly confused for a good few moments when the USB stick would not boot. But yeah, I, for one, still run Linux on i386 hardware. My netbook isn't obsolete. In fact, I don't think I can buy anything like it any more.
A few thoughts not covered yet.

First, instead of people, a great first market for this would be cargo. It would enable same-day delivery of goods anywhere in the world. Surely there's a market for that. I know for a lot of tech gear, when you need it, you need it right now. Factoring in the cost of a business-class ticket (per kilo), isn't anywhere near being a show-stopper.

Second, time-to-load could be a real factor, especially if you have to reach city center, then load into a boat, then go to the pad, then load in the rocket, then wait for fuel loading, etc. A better way to do this would be to use hyperloops in a spider fashion from the launch pad out to several of the burbs around the city. I could see the hyperloops ending underwater near the pad, with a nice mall and places for people to wait until their rocket was in position for flight. God help us, you'd still have the TSA nonsense.

Third, it just shows a barge, but this would be an entire "thing" -- launchers, rockets, fueling stations, malls, security, and so forth. Maybe cargo is a pretty good way to get started. Adding people just makes the complexity worse.

Fourth, before you do cargo, you could do a few high-profile people shots every month, for folks with lots of money who want to be remembered as some of the first folks to ever travel sub-orbitally. Hell if you'd want an accident in those days, though. Public relations will be a bear. It reminds me of the early days of flight, when most folks had a deep and profound fear of the machine. Do you want to get on to the top of a huge stick of dynamite? I do, and most HN'ers might, but a few YouTube explosions that kill people could shut the entire thing down (or worse, delay it for decades)

yes, I should clarify, offer better deductions. i.e. For every dollar of wage, deduct 2 from the tax bill, or some such.

Wage stagnation worries me a lot, specifically because of what it does to aggregate demand.

"He told me the high dollar amount of completing the cleaning services I requested (since I control the budget) and asked incredulously if I still wanted him to book it."

In the article she mentions that she controls the budget, so it was probably over the budget he had to work with.
I think you're confusing the concept of "complex" with "harder for me to process".

There are many, many things that are /simple/ that are actually pretty hard to understand. Most of higher maths, for instance.
To clarify further: your employee, as an example, can log into his private Gmail account using corporate credentials, and can send business emails "on behalf of" his corporation, without administrator / HR / CEO knowing anything... And that can wreck havoc in your life. Gmail would use Office SMTP servers, so mails are legit (because SMTP sumbission is legit for itself)...
Would it help if you thought of it as a pseudonym?
So, you get a single point-free function, at the cost of two other point-full functions (at least one of which will utilize run-time introspection)? All you're doing is pushing the "point" somewhere else - in this case down onto Math.max.

Seems like a net loss of simplicity and readability.
> What doe the electricity cost of some regions of the US have to do with the costs where data centers actually are like New York?

I'd expect electricity to be a major cost item for data centers. GDP per capita is not a good proxy for the cost of running a data center. It is only loosely related to labour costs and not at all to cost of infrastructure projects and regulation.

So I still don't completely understand why US data centers are more expensive, esp at locations like Kansas or Oregon where energy is cheaper than in most/all of Europe.
Because Vanguard expense ratios are run at-cost. Vanguard holds more funds in index funds then Fidelity; how could Fidelity have lower costs?

Note how on this line, arguments are not present and passed around - the input of the function being declared is simply passed from function to function, with the output of each becoming the input of the next. When you can write code this way, it improves clarity by putting the focus on what the code is _doing_ rather than whatever arbitrary name you're giving the input parameters. It's definitely a tool for use in specific situations though as often the name of the arguments helps a great deal with readability.
Kind of irrelevant in a language that has type declarations on the previous line.

First, in response to the parent, I am pointing out something that Japan, Korea and China has in common. I am not asserting that "I am 100% sure that immigration is bad for the national average IQ".
Second, of course individuals in an immigrant population are very successful and to great benefit to societies that receive them. And if you do not accept refugees, of course you miss out on some Einsteins. That's not what we are discussing here.

Special Report: Chaos and hackers stalk investors on cryptocurrency exchanges
I have to say at first I felt the same way most of the other commenters did: Claiming this was a state-sponsored attack is a convenient scapegoat.

I'm still skeptical, but I wouldn't dismiss it outright.

I think in the next 6-12 months, if a wholesale PII marketplace doesn't appear, the odds of a state-sponsored attack go up dramatically. The economics of wholesale fraud are such that you make money selling to other fraudsters, not trying to exploit the information yourself (setting up new accounts, taking over existing accounts, etc..).

For what it's worth, even if this attack was executed by actors unaffiliated with the government, this information WILL make it's way to intelligence organization(s) in their home country. Unlike in the US, foreign and domestic intelligence services maintain a much closer relationship with the hackers in their home country.

With cloud I meant the airlines which don't have their instance installed on-premise (or at least in a different data center). If each airline had their own installation, a failure would bring down the data exchange with that airline but not the operations of all airlines.
They have introduced and removed many things because they have a culture of continuous experimentation, most of it very small. Twitter is much less good at that, and this is definitely not the sort of small, quiet experiment that has done so much good for Facebook. So instead of this being a step toward Facebook-style experimentation, I'd say it's a step away.

I agree this will change how people use Twitter, so I'm not sure why you're saying that in a way that seems contradictory.

I wish more people could attempt anime adaptations of these sorts of works. The medium is just so much more high concept friendly; making strange alien characters and settings has a similar cost profile to storys about human characters and normal settings.

Alas, most of that artistic movement is very limited to adapting source material from its own unique cultural direction. However, a growing interest from western studios and growing understanding that non-comedy adult animation can be a thing makes me optimisic.

Also, my personal favorite for adaptation would be Hyperion Cantos. It has a lovely episodic feel at the start, as the pilgrims, tell their respective stories, and slowly piece togeather the true story. They seek a horrible, mysterious machine god on a distant colony pLanet, which is said to grant 1 wish for any appropriately sized band of pilgrims, at the cost of the rest of their lives.
Concatenative languages come to mind. You basically don't have to think about partial application ever again, because you get it "for free" (at the cost of reverse Polish notation). Forth, Joy, Factor and Kitten are all examples of languages based on this paradigm.

Point-free notation builds a program indirectly using expressions, rather than declaratively and directly like most programming languages. You need to follow data and control flow in order to understand the program that is built.

I think it's rarely easier to read or understand, with a few major exceptions. Certainly toy examples like in the article are too simple to highlight the benefits.

If the blocks being composed are reused and recombined a lot, but are meaty enough not to be inlined, then the composition effectively turn into a kind of high-level DSL. Consider e.g. a data processing pipeline using relational operators; filters, joins, sorts, projections etc. Those things have meaty implementations, but fairly simple interfaces; they're tailor-made for composing into larger abstractions that have the same external interfaces.

If the problem being solved inherently requires building a custom program to solve it, then it's hard to avoid writing something that isn't isomorphic to point-free style. For example, a reporting tool that doesn't dump the user in a SQL editor.
Some real life slopes are actually slippery, and some metaphorical slopes are legitimately so as well.

Unless you have some reason to suspect the events at the end of the slope are too farfetched to actually happen, which I don't see any, this is not a "slippery slope fallacy", but a run of the mill prediction about an Overton window opening.

Great question, and in the end it comes down to politics and team siloing. A large corporation with a lot of projects and priorities, and no single Security person to raise the issue with. At the time I wasn't in a position to Just Do It and then tell everyone "Hey, this needed to be done, I got it done, now I need a QA resource to test it and then we need to deploy it to prod" without some backlash from multiple source (my boss, the team that owned the product, etc).

Now (and given everything that's happened in the industry in recent years) I would definitely push more, and maybe fix it on my own, but at the time I just shook my head, and sent follow-up emails every few months to try to keep visibility on the issue.
"partial" is an independent concept, which could be learned once and applied after that just as "function" can be in example B. You don't say that "function" and "return" are doing some wacky gymnastics in the code do you?

It takes a lot to describe what's going on with A because it's a relatively new concept, related to the subject of the article. If partial application would be just as well known as function definition, the explanation could be shorter.
And I suppose the Chief Security Officer at the time, who held a degree in music an had no relevant experience in technology or security, was a state-appointed spy, too? Surely the Russians pulled a lot of strings to get her into that position. There is no other possible explanation.
