There is a plausible alternative motivation of wanting to protect the American Dream (for those already here in the country) rather than an evil desire to deny it to others.

Of course reasonable people can disagree on the degree of the threat posed by immigration. But you have to admit that if every person on earth moved to America overnight, life as we know it would be changed for the worse forever. Therefore it is reasonable to question where on the scale from 0% to 100% of the world population should be welcomed with open arms at the border. And it's not a huge leap to go from that question to the idea that not every single applicant for admittance poses the same threat (if any) as another -- so some discrimination between them is not only logical, but just.

If you accept the above conclusion, then it's quite possible for that word he used to be a reasonable idea expressed in an uncharitable manner.

Did this article completely skip over the microsoft trackballs?

I'm far from an Msoft fanboy, but the wired trackball they had got more use from me and the various mice I had for many years.

I was on a quest to develop a system to use it more and suddenly they stopped making them! I think I got one still in stock somewhere for bit more, and now they are $380 on amazon.

Please come back with that design and shape - it was a little longer than the logitech (I think), which gave it a perfect feel for my hand, and made it very stable when on a desk, or cinder block, or pressed against the body.. in the lap or while standing up.

Any chance the old Msoft design on that is past any kind of patent stage?

I still like the logitech one I have that works, when not at my desk, just because I find trackballs better in general than a mouse or trackpad in mobile situations.

I bought two extras of those when I saw they were no longer being carried at the local office box just to be sure to have one if no longer being made. Wish I had bought an extra couple of the Msoft ergo keyboards they no longer make.

How is possible to take GPL 3.0 code, say how it is "more restricted", miss to mention the point of what would happen if it is not, and to claim that any additional code to the project shall be licensed under the BSD type of the license.

On a modern trainset (walk through coaches with power integrated along the train) its usually possible. There's probably a door, so the driver's doors can be used to escape in an emergency.

VAT is paid by consumers, not companies. In principle, companies just collect the tax from their customers and send to the state the part that they are not transferring to their providers (but of course, taxes are complicated).
Wait a minute. Does this tax bill end the situation where e.g. Google earns $100 million/year in my European home country, but pay only $150,000 in taxes to my home country, using an Irish holding company to ensure their net tax rate (including to the US) on this amount is only a few percent? That would seem like a very good thing to me. The current situation is quite unjust.

On Windows I've been using Paint.NET for years now. It's absolutely brilliant. Lightweight editing with quite a bit of extra features like properly working undo. Free, lots of updates, good UX. I use it at least few times a week.

Wait, is that actually the case here?

For example, if a British company earns income
in Germany, its pays German taxes on its German
income. But if a US company earns income in
Germany it pays both German taxes and US taxes.

If a British company sets up a company in Germany and that 'subsidiary' earns income in Germany and pays tax in Germany, and then wants to send its money back to the British company, does the British company need to pay tax on that?

Isn't that money new income for the British company, and therefor would be taxed accordingly? I think that's the key here.

Regarding unsaved state when restarting, that sounds like an app problem. macOS has gotten extremely good at state restoration and has great APIs for that. Typically my computer screen looks exactly the same after a restart.

So if your app loses state because of an automatic restart, that is really a problem with the app. The developer should either make use of the state restoration APIs (preferred), or at least implement -applicationShouldTerminate: to prevent the reboot when there are unsaved changes.

Interesting paper that looks at the generalization abilities of deep CNN architectures. They begin by highlighting the generalization gap or the difference between the learning curves of the test and transit and how typically, in deep CNN architectures, the gap is relatively small. They then go on to hight how that this small generalisation gap is often attributed to the fact that that deep CNNs learn high-level semantic meaning. They then counter that common notion by highlighting the recent and popular research in Adversarial Examples, and note the high sensitivity to adverbial pertubtations. If a CNN is learning semantic meaning, then why does adding static to the image break it? Also, related is the recent research by Zhang, Chiyuan, et al. “Understanding deep learning requires rethinking generalization.” in which they show that CNN arch. can perfectly fit random labels which leads us to more down the path that generalization capabilities of CNNs are currently unknown to the community. They then go on to introduce their experiment to try and isolate what CNNs are doing.

I was in the same spot. A while ago I took an evening to try and learn doing basic edits in Gimp, and since then I have no trouble with it anymore. Not as bad as Vim, but there's indeed a learning curve to it. Now that I've learned it, though, I would never want Paint again.
Ideas have a life of theire own- and to use logic and other sharp tools to end that- to hunt down bad ideas, to watch them in the snow of noise, wriggling, theire entrails out, the justifications spasming one more time, to watch the last rasping breath roaking "it must be true, for i desired it" and thus invaliditing its existance. That is not Schadenfreude, its the joy of a predator, killing of what not should have been alive in the first place.
If it where not for this hunt- we would still be bringing young sheeps to the cliff, to sacrifice them for good weather.

If your ideology of choice is regularly murdered- have you ever considered, though it feels right, it might simply be wrong in assumption and execution - superstition- and thus eternal food for the wulfes of this world? That a rethinkinking and updating might spare you needless pain? That all those battles you fight and loose every time - trying to bend reality to shape, might be wasted life time, that could be used otherwise- not if the critiques go away, but if the flaws go away?

Also probably worth understanding who these 'suppliers' are.

I think that when people hear that Apple has thousands of suppliers from 50 US states, people think that they're talking about high-tech suppliers for iPhones.

When in reality, Apple is also a retail chain operating in 45 states and has suppliers like cleaners and office suppliers and security that would naturally come locally. Not that these suppliers are worth less, but I don't think the reality matches what people think Apple is saying.

And you already have that choice. What's missing is gLinux's availability to Google outsiders. I think gLinux vetted packages are likely to be more secure than the community edition.

But, if Google decides to monetize it, they may track the fuck out of consumers like they do on Android. That's the only downside I see to gLinux

As another "senior", I think these things almost always depend on context. Some of the shiny new tools and techniques really do move the field in a significant way. Most of them don't. The ones that do might advance one area but might not be particularly relevant or helpful in other areas.

For example, personally I find it easy to imagine projects that don't have much need for CI tools, particularly not the formal ones that have "CI" in their name. Maybe a project is small enough that the only developer(s) involved are constantly making builds for test purposes and rebasing is standard practice when pushing to shared branches. Maybe a very large project has a complicated and carefully controlled branch/merge plan for their repository, and merges at key points are systematically checked following a whole review process. Either way, the extra effort to run a dedicated CI tool might not provide much benefit.

Of course, in other cases, you'll be in a sweet spot for this kind of tool. Having something to automatically warn you if a key branch stops building could save a significant amount of time and trouble. The point is that it depends on your situation. Automating something means finding, learning and deploying software and infrastructure to do that job for your particular project. That's time and resources you aren't spending on something else, and these things are always trade-offs.

Let's not forget that this is a direct effect of the outrage culture coming from North America.

They aren't solely to blame but I would wager they are a prevailing interest at mountain view and in the valley.

> Although if my limited experiences with kids are anything to go by, you'll probably need to buy a couple cardboard replacements in order to survive prolonged contact with children.

Kids will break it no matter what it's made from. That's why I think cardboard is a great choice because it can be fixed easily, or even just replaced for free in most cases (old delivery boxes, or the selection of free boxes you get in supermarkets, etc).

Not to mention kids can easily draw on cardboard, or paint it, etc.
> but intact bottles can be cleaned and refilled

Only a very small percent of them. You are probably thinking of soda bottles, and yes, they used to do that. But today it's plastic bottles (and I'm glad for it!). Milk in glass bottles is all but dead.

Most glass these days is jars for olives, and salsa, and tomato sauce, and other random things, where there is just not scale to collect them. It's not anymore all uniform, every jar is a difference size.

Beer from the very largest companies might still work, although I think it's mostly cans now. But there are a lot of small producers, and routing the glass back to them would be too expensive.

We haven't even touched on how there is basically no point in doing it anyway. The entire crust of the planet is basically made of glass. We can't run out without dismantling (discrusting? :) the planet. It's also harmless to dispose of, just crush it first.

Recycle metal, burn plastic and paper (for energy!! not for disposal!!), crush and landfill glass and other organics. Those are the most environmentally friendly options.
> it would be nice to override

One of the big advantages I have experienced from the Golang formatter is that you cannot configure it, period. This took me a little bit off getting over myself, but eventually the fact that every single Golang codebase adheres to these rules is so nice. Plus you don't have to think about it, ever.

In this case I think it would be best if Ecto just recommends the new default style in their docs.
It would be really cool to see some collaborations with other companies on this - Pizza boxes or whatever company uses some cardboard for packaging and targets families or kids.

Having an extra track at the station and timing so that they pass while the other train stops. You don't have services every 5 minutes so that works quite well usually. Worst case the express train has to go a bit slower before but they tend not to go at maximum speed so can catch up again later.

Protip: get an SSD. It improves your life in many ways. Three examples I notice between my girlfriend's HDD-based laptop and my SSD-based one:

- A game, Factorio, takes literally 5 minutes for her to get to the main menu. For me it takes about 30 seconds.

- Using `time gimp` and hitting alt+F4 immediately, I get about 2.14 seconds. For my girlfriend this indeed takes a little bit, though not a minute.

- Booting up (from cold) is maybe 20 seconds for me. For her, this takes more than a minute on Ubuntu and more like 2-3 minutes on Windows (it boots in the same time as Ubuntu, but then programs need to load which make it slow for another 1-2 minutes).

Not everything benefits from it, like web browsing or email is not I/O-bound, but lots of things go a lot faster for the investment. Especially for laptops, it's also quieter, supposedly uses a little less power, and won't die as fast from dropping it. I'd highly recommend it.

I'm not putting off your computer as being the blame for GIMP being slow - indeed, it's kinda silly that it takes so long to start, especially the first time - but I just figured you had an HDD and think the vast majority of people will benefit from an SSD. Even my grandma got one a few weeks ago and is super happy with it.
Background. My family are gardeners since generations back. We are on a sourcing trip in Brazil to buy new plants where bio ethanol are made. Farmers inform us on the fields that the bio ethanol production is very resource instensive. Basically growing sugar plants which are the source used to make ethanol sucks up all the nutrients from the ground. It also uses a lot of water. Politicians back home fully sold on the “green” aspects of bio ethanol subsidies the ethanol fuel without knowing the growing damaging consequences.

Soybeans may be similar to Sugar. You have to ask if it’s really clean also the growing part not just the fuel.

A greener way is to put up electricity lines over highways. Then trucks can be driven electrically without hauling lots of resource instensive batteries. The mining of lithium in truck production scale probably is not clean. Mining is one of the largest emitters of co2 in the world.

Cop report on largest co2 emitters doing 70% of the emissions.
