I remember Trump saying he would sign literally any immigration deal brought to him by a bipartisan group, and when they did what he asked he rejected it, thanks to Stephen Miller. Then Chuck Schumer basically told Trump to name how much he wanted for the wall, which Trump refused to do. Then the government shut down and Trump relished in blaming Democrats.

> The left refused that compromise

Why was a compromised needed again? Every congressperson, R and D, when asked said they supported a permanent DACA fix. Why should Democrats be willing to compromise on something like lowering the number of legal immigrants admitted for something everyone claims they want. Why should the left compromise to fund a useless wall the President insists will be paid for by Mexico? Problem seems to be Republicans don't really want to admit they're in favor of deporting in all-but-legal-status Americans from their home land.

> Since he has twice been rebuffed on his compromises, he's going the other way. That seems reasonable to me.

Sarcasm? That's what's known as cutting off your nose to spite your face, assuming trump was sincere at all about DACA in the first place, which is highly questionable.
> it is really sad that you get downvoted based on your opinion

That's not really what is happening. I'm guessing you are getting downvoted for a few specific things:

* "If you want [...] small binaries, rust is just wrong"
* "[Rust is not close to processor instructions]"
* "I think go has beaten rust at anything relevant"
* "Rust has become hacker news click bait"

The general tone of your comment is a bit inflammatory, you make some claims with no reasoning, and you aren't contributing much to the discussion (even if some of these are just "opinions", not all opinions are relevant or useful in the context of any given discussion).

I'm also a little surprised that you insult the folks who are reading this thread (folks probably interested in Rust, since it is a Rust thread) and then wonder why they aren't interested in seeing your comment.
Programming Design Systems
Sure, but the identical exchange of value occurs in the current system, it just goes unsaid/unspoken. You review my journal and maybe ignore some of the problems, poor assumptions, whatever crap I used to make the sausage, just let me get it published; I do the same for you. You may not 'know' who is reviewing your journal, but at least in the natural sciences, there are so few technically qualified individuals to review some very domain specific publications, so its almost inevitable that although you may not know for sure who is reviewing your paper, you can figure it out without too much work. Since both reviewers and authors benefit from getting their own work published, there is a silent consensus for letting bad work slip through.

A way to do that in a cross-distro way with (almost) no dependencies is via AppImage[1]. This creates a single executable that contains your application and all the necessary libraries and data files.

There is also work towards a more modular approach with Flatpak and Snaps, but those require support from the distro side. AppImage doesn't need any specific distro support.

Theory like this deserves a thorough review. The classic example oversimplifies, leaving out many important factors - such as what happens when jobs are moved around, and where a nation's wealth is built.

Classic example: America can produce 5 cars a year and 6 apples. Japan can produce 3 cars a year and 2 apples. If America devotes its energy to making all the apples and Japan does the same for making all the cars, Japan could make 10 cars a year and America could make 9 apples - so thus, there will now be 10 cars available versus 8 and 9 apples a year versus 8. So there is more product available for everyone, true, that is an undisputed fact. But several questions remain unanswered:

What are the effects to the American people if making cars provided a lot of well-paying jobs to its working class which cannot be replaced? The answer is that many people are out of work; and they cannot go make apples because agriculture is heavily automated. They cannot all go to college because they don't have the money and student loans are very expensive.

What happens if America spends more money on importing cars from Japan than it makes from selling apples? Is there not a net drain on American wealth?

So I think classic theory about these things overlooks many important topics. It reduces a nation's health to the amount of goods that are producible between its economy and its trade partners; if more goods are produced overall then everything is better. But it does not take into account the effects of job losses or trade deficits.

Edit: Might I also add that the American economy was heavily protected by tariffs throughout almost its entire development? Tariffs were significantly higher from the 1800s to the 1900s; it is only in recent decades that they have been consistently lower. Andrew Carnegie's Carnegie Steel for example experienced tremendous benefit from high tariffs on steel; the impact of his fortune can still be seen today in almost all American libraries. While the relevance of this anecdote can be disputed, it serves a valuable purpose if it gets us to question our trade dogmas.

The fact that they dropped the mobile market (where windows could not fit as very different hardware was involved in the beginning) doesn't mean they will miss the next shot too.

Every single incarnation of windows mobile / phone was well tailored for the mobile hardware of the day.

What sunk windows phone was not that it was slow, it was that it was late to go touch-first and failed to differentiate enough to make up for it. That and tightly controlling the vendors while up against android made the quality of windows phone itself irrelevant.
Veritas Capital to Acquire a GE Healthcare software unit
Defense MicroElectronics Activity (DMEA) | Electronics Engineer, Embedded Hardware Engineer, Embedded Software Engineer | Full-time | Sacramento, CA | Onsite | $70 - $120k

Who: A Department of Defense (DoD) field activity that has been operating since 1997. Small and engineer-centric: ~200 employees of which ~180 are engineer/scientist.

What: Provide solutions to other US Government agencies and allies. Some tasks are engineering brand-new products and some tasks are re-engineering devices to keep legacy systems running. We do not compete with private industry but sometimes work side-by-side with industry to get stuff done. We also have the only semiconductor foundry (90nm) still operational within the federal government.

Why: We are often a last-resort for our customers. US Government agencies sometimes want products built that are so technologically risky or low-volume that private industry does not want to do them. We fill the gap.

Where: Sacramento, CA -- California's fourth largest metro area. Home to two major state universities (CSU-Sacramento and UC-Davis). The farm-to-fork (and regular) capital of California. Right between Tahoe/Sierras and San Francisco.

Benefits: We are federal employees and receive federal benefits (google "opm benefits" for more info). Time off starts at 36 days/year (13 vacation + 13 sick + 10 federal holidays) and grows to 49 days/year over time (26 + 13 + 10). We have flexible schedules and most of us work a "9-to-5.” Hiring is for GS-11/12/13 engineers (google “gs pay scale 2018” and look at the Sacramento locality).

You're probably being downvoted for being off-topic, but there's scarcely a place on the Internet you can call out the abuse of animals for our culinary pleasure without getting a lot of backlash. People don't want to think about it.

I became vegetarian after there was a big news cycle about the dog eating festival in China – then I saw pictures and saw that most of those dogs appeared to be treated much better than the animals that are part of the industrialized meat process.

Torture is something, but ultimately we kill them, ending their life so we can eat them. Humans will come up with all kinds of justifications for every part of this process, it's almost not worth arguing, it's like religion in many ways – you're raised eating meat, and it's hard to be rational thinking about why that might be bad, for the creatures being eaten, for the environment, etc...

Purely open-sourced publication and review; you have to publish your data along with your paper. A wikipedia style review process (or maybe more of a stackoverflow/ wikipedia hybrid).

The biggest and most critical miss of the whole process is not having the data a paper is based on published along with the paper. If something is irreproducible, is it really scientific? If I don't have your data, can I really reproduce your results?
If I was in the market of workstation software such as CAD, Music DAWs, industrial automation etc. I would much rather have control over the base OS by shipping a customised version of Debian or similar. This would be very compelling for professional users also, who don't want the consumer-oriented cruft and bloat associated with Windows and Mac OS.

> If you think a trade war is bad, imagine being a vassal state of China where the US

As a Latin American I laughed hard at this. For the last 60 years many 3rd world countries have been vassal states of the US and European Union, supplicating them to stop farming protectionism that keeps our economies so restricted. You know, "imperialism" is a word with deep meaning and a long history in 3rd world countries.

Probably I will regret later what I say now, but until then: welcome China, thanks for giving the "gringos" a taste of their own medicine.

Wikipedia/ Stackoverflow style review process. Also, ffs can we get hyperlinked citations? Its fung ridiculous that I can't just click the link for your citation and go to that paper.
That is actually true in the US as well with NIH funded research [1] (the majority of biomedical research). HOWEVER, the research need only be opened after a time-embargo (generally a year). Additionally larger universities like the University of California system also 'require' open access publication [2] - however waivers to that requirement are often sought and easily granted.

In both cases, the policies (NIH in 2009, UC system in 2013) were shots across the bows of the large publishers, and permit a gradual easing of the culture without just blowing it up. So long as the eventual goal of all open-access is met in a relatively timely fashion, I think the strategy of slowly cinching down the rule is a reasonable compromise.
