The problem is that I think it costs money and red tape to submit results and vendors run their own, and you kinda have to take their word on it or reproduce them yourself.
Like another commenter has mentioned, Swift is now almost nearly source compatible. The compiler already provides support for any version of Swift back to version 3.2.
No, it's dead on. Once residency and citizenship are granted, it's tough to revoke them, so reserving deception during the application process as a cause makes that easier.

You may have misunderstood - I think the parent is saying its the same principle as, say, convicting Al Capone of tax fraud. Create a large number of small, easy-to-accidentally-violate laws (think police stops and traffic laws here), and then selectively enforce them - so if its difficult to prove someone is a terrorist, kick them out of the country for incorrectly filling out their Form WhateverWhatever1300B instead.

Yes, I agree, I know what the term means.

A common critique of neoliberalism is that it pays lip service to adding diversity to traditionally high status/class/prestige careers and positions without disassembling the unfair power structures that cause those careers and positions to be so desirable. Hence "neoliberal diversity theatre" is somewhat separate from ostensibly selling out to corporate interests, because diversity theatre's goal is to advance justice along identitarian lines without removing injustice from the system; it's spreading injustice out among races and gender without addressing it as an intrinsic symptom.

Politicians selling out to corporate interests is the main mechanism through which those power structures are maintained and expanded, but the equality-charades are a necessary ingredient to make the main course palatable (for the democrats. Republicans are also neoliberal but use other wedge issues).

This is wrong in so many levels, and explains exactly how we got here. You're judging the issue not by its own weight, but by who is going to deal with it, or not.
In some job markets (afaik Silicon Valley, and most high-prestige medical or legal positions) you can get multiple offers within a few days of each other, and this matters for driving up compensation, particularly the signing bonus when present.

edit for clarification:
This works by keeping all interested companies/firms/hospitals in the loop on where you are in the interview process with the other prospective employers. If they don't ask, you, the prospective employee, volunteer this information. Prospective employers adjust their interview schedules accordingly.
Sometimes, volunteering information that you're in demand and about to leave the job market because you have an offer in hand is enough information to get an offer when another prospective employer would otherwise would just keep looking, hoping somebody better might become available in the next couple weeks.

Millions of Americans have been negatively impacted by bad laws on the books.

You have just killed all chance of workplace romance - and more than 50% of people have dated coworkers.

We have sexual harassment laws on the books already.

Why would you negatively impact millions so a few people don't have to feel mildly uncomfortable (and obviously it's mild or it would be sexual harassement which is already illegal)?
At the same time, I really wish that GPUs would take off in neuroimaging, where 90% of the steps performed in an analysis pipeline are not modeling-related, but rather basic image manipulations / pre-processing (i.e., scaling, smoothing; stuff that GPUs are actually good at).

It seems like they were trying to emulate AliExpress, which has built-in giveaways and all kinds of badges for "bloggers" who take pictures of their items and write reviews. It appears to be mainly used by Russians although it is open to Americans on the app, but the links don't appear anywhere on the English webpage. AliExpress is like a bizarre hybrid between Amazon & Ebay (at least the imported stuff) with an international bent.

Outside those organizations, all the tooling assumes one application per repo.

As a result, monorepos don't work well outside those large organizations.

This has nothing to do with Facebook. It affects all social media sites, even non-US ones. It won't help you a bit to delete Facebook unless you wait 5 years. You'd still be required to give up the account info before then. And if you ever decide to hop on an alternative to Facebook (like HackerNews, GitHub, Twitter, Reddit, etc), you'll be required to enter them as well.

I think you treat his thesis in a too m literal sense. He is speaking of broad patterns. There will of course always be various other factors playing a part. If you look at several areas of the world his ideas seem to stack up quite well. The lack of animal domestication in the Americas and its consequences seem like a strong point to me. He also offers a plausible explanation why there was so little domestication.
> deserve

I believe GP, myself and everyone else earned our job the hard way. We have never claimed we deserve it, we put in effort, competed in notoriously difficult hiring processes and got selected.

Additionally, our employers have had to provide extensive documentation to the Department of Labor that no US citizen was eligible at the time of hiring - the laws are very strict and comprehensive about this.

We are here, just like every other immigrant, to try and make a better life for ourselves and our families. After living here for 12 years, GP would have been a US citizen if he was born in any other country other than India or China. Unfortunately, being born in India is punished with an estimated[1] 83 years of very limited rights, almost zero liberty (no liberty to produce and publish art works, no liberty to join a band and sing at a local bar, no liberty to mine bitcoin at home, to host a youtube channel etc). GP and me also have to submit to a complete inspection by some USCIS officer every 3 years - and any offense, real or imaginary, can bar us from returning to the US at any time, without trial or even an explanation.

Actually, they naturally do, but there is a specific law to prevent entering unless some specific criterions are met.

Outside of dictatures, people are born with all the rights, and the law is made to remove them. Those law are generally made to protect the rights of other. The main law that doesn't enter this category is immigration law since changing country doesn't remove any freedom to the citizens of the country of arrival.

It's technically correct, but the path of least resistance is the path of least resistance at the instant of measurement. Voltage and current are abstractions that represent the aggregate motion of charge carriers in a medium. Like charge carriers repel each other. At any instant, an individual charge carrier will take the path of least resistance. Calculus is required to model the current in a non-trivial system. It frequently leads to counter-intuitive results.

In short, it's complicated.

It's a silly question designed to throw people off balance. I dislike it. But if you look at it the other way, it's an easy opportunity for you to nicely package your value proposition (ideally in comparison to your competitors) in a few sentences e.g. "I'm a rare candidate that has experience in X but ALSO Y" or "I'm a new grad but I have X internships under my belt" or "I'm switching careers so I'm a junior engineer now, but I've functioned as a responsible adult in some other job before, which your other candidates haven't" etc etc.

It's also something that they'll end up using if they have to justify your hiring to other people, so there's value in making it good.
It doesn't say 'only' - it implies by omission that your content was not part of the breached data, but does not assert it. It says the data breach 'includes' usernames, emails and passwords.

I am a big supporter of crypto currencies, and I do see a problem in that. However, the current volatility will level off significantly once there is wider adoption. That will help reduce incentive to hold. I would never recommend somebody give/accept loans in crypto currencies right now. The time will come though (unless governments squash crypto through regulation or outright banning).

That said, there's no guarantee that BTC or any crypto will appreciate indefinitely; in fact quite the opposite. It can (and does) lose value.

This also overlooks the benefits of a non-fiat currency, such as protection against things like hyper-inflation (most of us don't think about this right now, but if you have any friends in Venezuela ask them how important this protection is).
They do have permission though. The people used granted permission when they submitted their face to uifaces.com, in fact they even went so far as to submit their faces to the "authorised" section on uifaces

Unless NZ is significantly different from most other countries, no one has a right to a resident visa (although some people might have a right to citizenship, such as by descent), so they can already arbitrarily determine whether or not to grant a resident visa.

> In online marketing, a landing page, sometimes known as a "lead capture page" or a "lander", or a "destination page", is a single web page that appears in response to clicking on a search engine optimized search result or an online advertisement. The landing page will usually display directed sales copy that is a logical extension of the advertisement, search result or link. Landing pages are used for lead generation. The actions that a visitor takes on a landing page is what determines an advertiser's conversion rate.

> Conversely, it makes running an opposition campaign so easy that the opposition won't need to focus on the big issues.

Just over 50% disapproval isn't actually that easy to beat; its enough to draw strong candidates of diverse viewpoints into the opposition primary (rather than them sitting out as often happens with a strong incumbent), but not solid enough for opposition complacency. Of course, that number could move strongly either way before candidates are firmly in or out of the primary.

That's cherry picking the arguably worst examples in capitalism and claiming that they represent the whole. We have Gates, Buffett, Musk, Carnegie and many others who are/were making a huge difference either with their businesses or the wealth that those businesses earned them. You can't have the good without the bad. You cannot learn about the great rulers of history without also learning about the genocidal maniacs.

I know it's sexy for modern day champagne socialists to rant about this on /r/LateStageCapitalism and co. and signal through communism LARPing. I'm however confident the HN crowd is a little more educated than that.

I think its a result of a good management of the forest. What if instead of cutting the trees we manage them to get a better forest? Like pruning and laying the wood in the soil to decompose faster and better, we can increase the speed of ecological succession a lot. What if for every hard good wood we cut we plant more so we can have even more later?

I've being learning and practicing this type of agriculture for 3 years, its incredible how the soil can improve without adding things from outside, like fertilizers, just seeds: http://vimeo.com/159262175

Also by eating raw fruits, the food we should eat the most, we act as a very powerful seed dispersal, where you through your food there is big chance for the seeds to germinate, its a mistake to get every trash together and treat them the same, by spreading rests of fruits and vegetables and just covering them with enough dried leaves to stop the smell you will plant easily thousands of trees every year with little effort.

I'm hearing two common yet contradictory themes here. One is that it requires the interviewee to think of an answer on the spot. The other is that the interviewer should already know the answer, from reading your background material.

But there's always more material that I can learn ahead of time about your company than you can learn about me as an individual. If the interviewer should know the answer already, then the interviewee should know an answer, too.

I will admit that it's probably not a good question for medium/large companies, where there's a specific role to fill, but for small companies I kind of like it. There's 10 different things we need to hire for, and you've got 100 different skills, so which ones do you have that align with our needs, and which ones do you want to apply here? You can't fit everything on a resume.

I confess I've asked this once myself, at the very start of an interview. I was exhausted from interviewing 10 other candidates, and this guy's resume wasn't very impressive, and I just wanted the guy to say something that would make me feel it wasn't going to be a waste of time. (Unfortunately, he was very junior, like "just learned to code last month", and his answer only reinforced that. I'd have loved to have hired him, but we really weren't in a position to hire junior developers yet.) It wasn't my best interview question, but it definitely wasn't my worst, either.

The trouble with simply shooting this down as a bad interview question is that nobody has ever been able to tell me what a universally good interview question is. This one is open-ended and gets them talking, at least.
