I think this is the problem in the USA. If someone wants to come here to work, pay taxes and be a reasonable citizen why not allow it?

The system is definitely broken, I want to see change immediately.
A couple of questions:

Have you responded to the to Matt Scherer's critique that starts here:
http://www.lawandai.com/2017/05/14/is-ai-personhood-already-...

From my understanding of Conflict of Laws issues there is a great deal of case law suggesting that even if the memberless LLC were created that the first court to see one would immediately declare it dissolved regardless of what the Operating Agreement said because it violates the intent of the legislation. Or, to use Scherer's words, "courts recognize that “some things ‘go without saying'” in legislation just as they do in everyday life, and legislatures thus legislate “against the backdrop of certain unexpressed presumptions.” Bond v. United States, 134 S. Ct. 2077, 2088 (2014)."

It also seems that both FATCA and the OECD Common Reporting Standards treaty supersedes state incorporation rules concerning reporting of Ultimate Beneficial Owner for an entity that pays taxes in any 'acceptable' jurisdiction. One could probably create a memberless LLC in Somalia but have zero luck accessing a modern legal jurisdiction.

Take the Series LLC that can be setup in Delaware. No one outside the US recognizes the individual series as being separate from the others and thus combines all of the assets of the parent LLC, rendering the form useless outside the US. Just because one State creates a memberless LLC obligates no one to recognize it.
Not according to the forbes article, but that is indicating sales in quarter rather than overall marketshare (Apple sold more phones than Xiaomi in Q4 17, see https://techcrunch.com/2018/01/25/chinas-smartphone-market-i...).

Apple is not doing poorly in China by any economic measure, but ya they don't sell many $200 Xiaomi/Huawei phones. I'm sure that Apple wins consistently based on phone sales revenue, even if they trail in total units sold.
Wow that SR-71 photo makes the pilot's face look so doctored. It looks like a video game rendering of a face.

That's way more Europe MAU percentage than I was expecting. Thanks, and good to know!
What did you anchor these modest goals upon? Chances are they were based on your perception of how people around you are doing. If you lived in the Paleolithic, perhaps winning would have been having a decent cave, and enough game to feed your family. In another world, perhaps you'd require only one or two modest robot butlers, not a fleet like many others have. Dumb analogies, I know. The point is that, most people's goals are derived from what seems achievable based on perceptions of how everybody else is doing at "the game" we call capitalism. As soon as you start doing that, there are winners and losers by definition.
Yeah, but you already got hundreds of thousands individuals here in H-1 status, and thousands more wanting to join them, for lack of any other options. Then what?
I can just imagine the learning curve when encountering legacy code in a language that's only used for the project, product, or company. I can't begin to explain how many times I have just Googled a question in a particular programming language and very quickly found an answer. When I work in new or unpopular languages, I often can't find an easy answer.

The difference in time is staggering. The learning curve for a popular language means that learning something new takes me 5 minutes, but in an unknown language learning something you could take me all day if there are not a lot of things like stack Overflow posts.

If a project specific custom language deviates too far from the norms, then it means that incoming programmers will have a harder time maintaining it.
Artificially restricting? Could you elaborate? I was under the impression that the only restriction on the number of doctors is the ability for people to get through med school.

RFRAs don't allow first responders to refuse to do their jobs -- the life of another is a compelling state interest, and there's no narrower way to accommodate that interest than to require first responders to respond. Merely claiming a religious burden is only one element of the test. I've never heard of any religious emergency service personnel even suggesting they have a religious objection to 'interacting' with LGBT people in emergency situations -- but even if you could, the Indiana RFRA law wouldn't have allowed that.
For me, to Observe, you have to be willing to be a blank slate. You have to suspend all "knowledge" and absorb as much as you can. You need to reserve passing judgment.

When you have an inkling of understanding, you begin probing to validate your understanding. This is the start of the Orient phase. You may be wrong or right in your assessments - but you iterate from the small experiments. You hone in on what is actually true, which takes some iteration.

As for other Boydian ideas...here are a few:

Broadly applied synthesis: What made Boyd powerful was his deep intellectual curiosity. His broad understanding of history and thermodynamics made for a unique and insightful combination. He frequently quoted and made use of Heisenberg, Godel and other philosophers in his engineering work.

E-M diagrams: As a fighter pilot, I used his "Energy-Maneuverability" diagram literally every day. It's the foundation of all dogfighting across the world. And it was created from the computer time he stole from Wright Patterson AFB...and was then courtmarshaled because of it. E-M is closely tied to the OODA Loop, although the latter is far more broadly applicable.

Dont Forget Your Family: This was "anti-lesson" from Boyd. He immersed himself in his work. But it absolutely destroyed his family. He left them penniless because he refused to take any meaningful money from the government as a contractor in his post-military career. He was a Lion - but all men have their flaws.
Whichever way, it doesn't matter that much. At least where Apple wants to put their server makes no difference.

It's not that we are "unaware" of anything, we just don't feel the same way about privacy (and many other western values as well). Not that they're bad, we just don't believe they're so important. Sure you think you "know the importance of privacy", but that's rather just an opinion, not a fact.

In fact, another apparent trend in China is that people who have been studying and living in US for some time tends to become more agreeable with Chinese government afterwards.
Does sideEffects do what I suspect: prevents global scope modification, e.g. setting window.$ = jQuery ? And even jQuery itself I guess?

Every American's quality of life will go down when the next generation of tech companies that dominate the world economy come out of China and not the US because they can attract better people.

Then by doing it to show off at red lights etc. they are taking lives by putting loud pipes in constant legal jeopardy.
> I thought the issue was that under the same kernel all pages mapped into memory can be read because the processor does not perform the virtual memory checks for the speculatively executing code...which is why the fix involves unmapping pages on context switches.

That's Meltdown. In Meltdown's case, the processor does not perform the check to see whether a mapped page is privileged, kernel memory (ring 0) or unprivileged, user space memory before speculatively executing it, and that's where the need to unmap kernel pages before leaving a syscall (and remap them before entering one) comes from. Spectre is confined to a single process's address space, so assuming no processes share code, an attacker would only be able to leak information from within the same process via Spectre. Which is enough a vulnerablility to warrant concern, as with precise enough timers you could exfiltrate information (passwords, etc.) from anywhere in a browser process via JavaScript. The problem is, processes share code all the time, via shared libs, which makes Spectre attacks able to cross process boundaries.

VT-x is a hardware virtualization layer. It doesn't provide some sort of physical barrier to different contexts running on the same CPU wired to the same RAM leaking memory.
The math doesn't work out.

China has four times the population of the US. The only way the US can consistently stay ahead in technology is attracting the best scientists and engineers from other parts of the world. The arms race of trying to produce more domestic engineers faster is one that China will win.

The winners and losers in your description seems more a ranking, rather than causal. In most games, a winner causes there to be a loser. What about GP's stated goals and achievements would cause someone else to lose at the game of life?

I have friends who would consider me a "loser" by rankings (no house, no wife, no kids; I rent, have a fiancee, and, well, no kids). But their achievements have not caused me to be in this state. It's just facts of how life has played out, and differing priorities.

Apartheid was not a success either though.
And sure post-apartheid isn't pretty yet, but we don't/can't know what SA would look like today if there had never been apartheid.

It’s not relearning but making sure you get the facts from a primary source.
The ICU motto is ‘trust no bastard’ - if you rely on what is written down without asking the patient directly, can you be sure that it is correct? I have personally come across many instances where what has been recorded is inaccurate or misses important details that careful questioning elicits.

I will always take my own history from a patient, but I use the previous records as corroborating records - I know what the general gist has been, but what might they have missed/what might the patient have told them?

It is a critical part of good patient care, despite its inefficiencies
Last time I was out the hospital they had robots running around to just to pick up towels. Robots are great and all, but that's a symptom of not managing costs.
One of the pilots reported following it for "over 100 miles".
There's a fixed number of seats in medical schools and a fixed number of residency slots. When you add foreign doctors that would like to practice in the US to medical school graduates, there's less residency slots than doctors that would like to take them.

Most residencies are paid for by Medicare. Big hospital systems just can't seem to find the funds to train doctors on their own.
3.5 million Americans could either be at work today or looking for jobs. That would be more fuel for the U.S. economy and a bigger source of workers for businesses crying out about a shortage of labor.

Yeah right. It's my experience that companies do not care about picking up anyone who is not already perfectly tailored for the role needed. If that person hasn't been found, the req just sits there. Sometimes for a year or more. That there is some "unfilled gap" of jobs is a fallacy.
It would be down 100% if they used the blockchain!
As a survivor of stage IV cancer, I can say my experience strongly mirrors that. I would go further to say that the assembly/widget mentality in a health care setting made it difficult for some of the staff to see me as a human. Abuse or care-full neglect (is that a thing? working on the words) is, in my experience at least, common.

It's not to say I don't appreciate being alive, but we can do better for those suffering.

It depends on the implementation, that's for the expander to handle.

In the case of the implementation I listed, it passes it on literally, and compiles it and runs it, and then takes the output and passes it back to Racket. [0]

My Leaf has an EPA rated range of around 80 miles... And there's no way it would ever do that unless I drove under 50mph the entire way. At 80mph I get half the range!

The European model is a delusional.
Yes. its not evaporative cooling: you have a watermass you chill down with offpeak power, and then use as the coolth source to chill dry air in the aircon, rather than using a normal fridge chiller circuit. Its power-shifting. The total powercost is probably comparable to on-demand chilling but you shift the power budget to off-peak, or other sources.
It's not at all clear what the risk-reward were, without in-depth information. After all everybody except Warren Buffet had backed away at that point.
Naw, it has to do with tree-shaking imports. webpack might have a different option for what you describe – if not, most linters certainly do.

`sideEffects` explicitly tells webpack whether it's safe to remove unused exports from a module, because it's always possible that code relies on them implicitly.

EDIT: I'm just going to link to the official docs (which don't mention `sideEffects` yet) because my last example was slightly wrong: https://webpack.js.org/guides/tree-shaking/#caveats

To work around the caveat mentioned in the docs above, the module author can include `sideEffects: false` in their package.json to notify webpack that excluding certain code is safe.

As an example, I just built a file that does:

import { compose } from 'redux';
console.log(compose);

`compose` is a really tiny no-dependency utility from Redux. The resulting bundle is 2.12 KiB. That's because webpack isn't sure whether all the other stuff exported from Redux causes any side-effects.

If I edit Redux's `package.json` to specify `sideEffects: false` and rebuild, the bundle size goes down to 799 bytes: only `compose` itself is included! There are pull requests happening all across the JS ecosystem to add this flag to popular dependencies.

See this issue for more details: https://github.com/webpack/webpack/issues/2867
Evaluate the Past or Coach for the Future?
Yes, I am aware that there is currently a different system, for green cards. I am aware that your proposal is to process each application in the order that it is received. What exactly do you think is going to happen to go from here to there? On one hand, you need to deal with the backlog. On the other hand, if you are going to "fix" the system, you should fix it in such a way that, in the future, there will be no backlog. How would such a system be different than what I described? The alternative is to turn the green card backlog into a problem for immigrants of all nationalities rather than a problem for immigrants of some nationalities.

You should perhaps learn a bit more about the history of the country which you want to immigrate to. Slavery had nothing to do with representation in the senate. It had everything to do with protecting Connecticut, Delaware, and New Jersey from New York, Georgia, and the Carolinas.

The green card diversity lottery is based on exactly the premise I mention. Applicants from countries with low rates of immigration to the US have a great chance of winning. Applicants from countries with high rates of immigration to the US are ineligible to apply.
In a sense a DSL lets burried implicit knowledge become enshrined more formally (even if it is still implicit in a way) so that people don't keep making the same mistakes over and over because they are presented with tools where all the footguns haven't been safely dealt with. Consider how many people make the same mistakes over and over and over again because they go back to html, css, an js which give ZERO constraints on what one ought to do with them to make a useable website. Now imagine that we had been growing the language for writing websites so that new users literally could not write code that would footgun themselves into oblivion.
I posted this article several years ago. In my mind, the interesting question isn't who goes Nazi; but rather, would I go Nazi and what circumstances would I go Nazi?

Its easy to assume that you are the good guy in the movie. Twist the plot a bit, and do you become the bad guy?
If that is true (I'm not so sure it is--lots of people emigrated between countries a century ago, and many of them left their mothers when they did so), it means that people were drastically reduced in their options, since they never ventured far from their places of birth. The ability to travel further in shorter time has greatly expanded those options.
I highly recommend the excellent

It's tough, and I get that. I also know that as a person with neurological trauma that makes speech difficult at best, having to recall what amounts now to 50+ pages of chart every 4 hours is... BS. You might as well be telling someone with a broken ankle to run up and down a flight of stairs every so often while they try to recover.

There is also an argument that, unless there is some sort of ongoing peer review (they did this during my Oncological Adventure(tm)), you're increasing the number of moving parts, and thus the chances of a breakdown. Charting errors are a significant source of medical mistakes.

The problem as I see it is not the intent of the procedure, it's the while (1) do x; mentality. There should be some "ifs" and mitigating functions instead of a hardcoded 1
That's true but the key word is coordinated. Without coordinated action, we're back at individual action. Coordinated action might be protests, boycotts, etc. Usually there are one or more _institutions_, that is a cohesive group of people, backing and advancing the interests of the group. This is a very powerful model.

A familiar example is the NRA. It's not a political party, but it advances the interests of its members relentlessly. Institutions of the left include things like Planned Parenthood. Often, there are issue advocacy organizations that spring up when corporations are doing bad things. Often the strategy is to do things that impact the corporation financially, which short of legal threats is basically the only thing they understand. Anything short of that can be brushed off with rationalizations by various powerful stakeholders within the corporation.

Basically, the point I'm trying to make is that individual action is essential, but not sufficient to make a difference when it counts.

> not managed to win against a ragtag group of militants.

Those militants are not ragtag. They all receive state sponsorship in the form of finances, hardware, training and logistics.

Your analysis also ignores the reality of asymmetric warfare, in particular the asymmetry of the value placed on the lives of the combatants on the different sides.

Terrorist organizations are far more willing to sacrifice their combatants than the US is, and they have a pool of people who share this outlook to recruit from, which is why they persist.

In the event of an internal armed conflict within a developed country, all sides are likely to value the lives of their fighters similarly.
Not just this but I've seen this in general last year. Reminds me of the media in a communist country: they better insert "glory to people's party" somewhere in the piece to increase the chance of passing the censorship filter. Here they have to somehow mention Trump. They could be talking about interior decorating, but unless they bring up Trump they won't get it approved by the censors.
DSLs are a great solution where the problem domain is difficult to express in anything less. Matlab and Make are both good examples. My experience has been that they also bring enough documentation and maintenance burdens along with the flexibility that you should avoid them without a very good reason though.
I wish someone would. I’ve been an Apple evangelist for 20 years and I’m now in the awkward position of needing a new laptop for my professional life... and Apple doesn’t make one that I want to purchase. Their Pro line has given up too many features in the name of gimmicky crap (the touch bar was DOA) and the MacBook Air line has given up too many features in the name of ever increasing thinness. It’s beautiful, but I need a machine I can pay my bills with, not stare at longingly—these aren’t mutually exclusive. Up until a couple years ago Apple had made the only laptops I even considered for over a decade.

Now I’m looking at surface books. Blerg.
