Absolutely. An offensive weapon might be used to unfairly isolate and target innocent people.

Domestic surveillance will be used to unfairly isolate and target innocent people.

We all know this to be true. Therefore we should be much less apprehensive about developing offensive weapons.
This is a pile of corporate mambo jumbo. We know what’s going on. This is not about policy. Jeff session is not a politician. He’s a disgusting deranged person, with a horrible track record in targeting civil rights in the USA, which he’s been working to dismantle for years. This is not going to change by “working together”.

Microsoft and other companies need to make sure they don’t have their IBM in Nazi Germany moment, and pull the plug out on any cloud services or others they are providing, with which this adminstration is performing crimes against humanity.

I really didn’t think I can hate Microsoft more than I already do.
You can downvote me all you like, it doesn't change the fact that children are being seperated from parents over a misdemeanour "offense".
> Obviously we want to restrict access as much as possible to particular drugs

It's not obvious to me. The fundamental question is, does an individual own their own body? If the answer is yes, then don't try to restrict what I can do with it so long as I don't harm anyone else. If the answer is no, well, then we need to firm up exactly what the arrangement is supposed to be.

I can imagine that there is a war or floods currently going on in Mexico, but afaik neither of those things are actually happening. Yes, it’s a relatively poor country, and they have problems that they need to solve over there. That doesn’t mean we in the US can afford to just open up the floodgates and let everyone from there that wants to come over into our country.

There is a process to come here legally, and I am all for legal immigration. I just don’t see why it’s remotely controversial to enforce our laws against illegal immigration.
The problem is that legalization of cannabis in US was never actually about cannabis per se. It was about this:

"The primary reason to outlaw marijuana is its effect on the degenerate races.​"

"Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white men.​"

"Marihuana leads to pacifism and communist brainwashing.​"

"There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage. This marijuana causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers and any others.​​"

Now, these quotes are from the pre-WW2 period, when this insanity first began. But they lingered for a lot longer than that, even if the language changed. This is from the Nixon era:

"You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin. And then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities," Ehrlichman said. "We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."

In other words, it was always a weapon in the "culture war". And that is kinda at another peak right now, so I'm not too optimistic about this happening in US until it's over.
My use case where Vue fits better is in lots of isolated reusable components that aren't tied to a global state. So an image slider or datepicker for example.

But I would consider React and Vue for building a larger scale, stateful application like Spotify or Slack.
1. There's another billion waiting to enter.

2. There is legal process of entry, they should follow it.

3. Illegal immigration drives down wages, crowding out the most vulnerable citizens of the US.

4. A country decides how and when people are allowed in. There are numerous downsides to mass immigration including stress on services like health, social services and accommodation. Again, to the detriment of citizens.
If the first one is a problem, you have much bigger problems. Not sure what the second concern you're describing is. Most of the scenarios I can think of where this is behaviour is bad are not really the sort of thing FDE is supposed to solve. Maybe there are others but I haven't seen them described in this thread.
These people are asylum seekers. What they are doing is literally not illegal. According to USCIS, asylum seekers must be physically present in the US to apply: To obtain asylum through the affirmative asylum process you must be physically present in the United States. You may apply for asylum status regardless of how you arrived in the United States or your current immigration status.

https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/refugees-asylum/asylum/ob...

These people are being punished for following the law.

Additionally, there is no need to detain parents separately from children, and prior to the Trump administration, while deportations of asylum seekers did happen, families were not split up.

Wouldn't it be good to have your own pub/sub mechanism instead of relying on a third party like gce for a critical component. Take for example - https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/13327. It took them fair amount of time to fix that issue.

And asylum is done at a port of entry, not sneaking through the desert.
I've never used, but even w/ health risks, it's better to legalize and decriminalize than send young mothers/fathers to jail and basically create cycle's of poverty.

One of the biggest demographics of poverty in America is single-mother's who's bf's are incarcerated usually for drug offenses, though of course some might be gang and other criminal offenses - but still a lot of that has drug related connotations.

If mj is regulated/sold openly then likely they won't be distributing on street corners and going to jail, or using and going to jail for possession, causing them to become even harder criminals by association and thus start life-long criminal careers, and giving up on being a good father, and provider.

My philosophy is let anyone ingest anything they want (Tide pods are still legal), if they're stupid enough to die or maim themselves -- people shoot firecrackers from their hand and doesn't always end well - people just do stupid shit, but it's their choice/freedom to do so. Until they step over the line and injure others as a result of their stupid actions, let them have that freedom and the government should step out.

The government should have help for those who need it to get into rehab/medical treatment and support those who want to get off hard drugs, but deal with it as a medical condition, not a criminal one. People should feel safe going to a hospital and saying I have a drug addiction and want to quit, please help me - without fear of going to jail.

The government can prosecute blackmarket sales though, all night/day, I'm cool w/ that, I feel the end-user's are victims even though they choose to 'buy', I don't think they should be at fault for being a 'consumer' of goods, those capitalizing on it should be the only ones charged.
What evidence do you have that wages have been driven down illegal immigration?
Surprising! But now it sounds like rich people are regrowing the forests that the poor people of earlier centuries destroyed. Evidence that rich people help the environment and poor people harm it. Still no sign of the harm that the grandparent claimed rich people are doing to the environment.
Yeah, defense as in defending an argument.

As I get older, it's becoming clear how intertwined our morality is with our politics. And how that bleeds into business, sports, religion, etc.

It's nice to think of aspects of life that should be free from politics, but in reality that seems hard to achieve.
> If housing prices disconnect and accelerate away from what incomes can support servicing a mortgage, housing is overvalued. If PE ratios start to become wildly unjustified, equities are overvalued.

> This is regardless of money supply.

When vast amounts of money are added to the ecosystem - the economy in this case - the recipients all have the same choices of what to do with the money so that they don't lose it or have less of it. When the expectation is the even MORE money will be added to the ecosystem, then the market participants need to increase their own money faster than the rate that an individual money unit has less ability to purchase its share of the economy.

You have choices across the yield curve which dictate the velocity in which you increase your own supply of money. Some choices are below the expected rate of new money units, so you are expected to lose purchasing power. Other choices are expected to be above the rate of new money units, and this includes housing and stocks.

If there is an excess of money and the purchasable units are not increasing at the same speed, then they will increase in price.

Regarding "overvalued" in the terms of particular asset classes, yes, things can disconnect from this rate of change.

The way we are using that term is fundamentally different and counterproductive to go into a hole about. I am using it to make a simple point: the money will go somewhere.
Laughing pretty hard at the fact that the only South American criminal you could think of died more than 20 years ago
It’s unethical to require people from other countries that want to enter the US to follow certain, well established, legal protocols before they enter?

I’m all for legal immigration. I guess I just don’t understand all the support for illegal immigration.

Edit: based on the downvotes, there must be some kind of benefit to the US arising from illegal immigration that I’m missing. Could one of you that downvoted this please explain that benefit to me?

> 1. The Chinese government is more than capable of stopping all of the types you listed.

I dont think this is technically possible.

Or you are assuming vastly more advanced technologies possessed by Chinese government.

From what we know from Chinese tech company and track record, I doubt this is true.

> 2. ... (see Github DDoS for a high-profile recent example).

Links?

> 3. The US intelligence community has stated that in many cases, the Chinese government is behind attacks. I might distrust the US intelligence community, but this is not something they need to lie about.

They have all the benefit to lie about it:

- Create fear for adversaries. It used to be USSR, now its CCP.

- Assume the moral high-ground for their own surveillance or espionage activities, both domestically and internationally.

- Setup the stage for error-increasing budget for their long-term survivability.

- Cover up their incompetency of guarding national secrets (the adversary is so strong that our defense is not sufficient)

These are just some random possibilities, insiders can give probably much more.

Speaking from personal experience with psychedelics, it's not really the visual hallucinations that are impactful, but the way your brain thinks about things in a completely different way. So I don't think you can replace that chemical experience with a visual experience.
Not at all. Children are not separated because you used your prescription medicine after its end date. Children are not separated because you ran a red light.

Border crossing is merely misdemeanor and most of them are just seeking asylum.

> Illegal aliens ignore US law, knowing full well that their acts are illegal and have consequences. Go to a port of entry or embassy like all other immigrants. It's that simple.

Most of them actually come to a proper border patrol station to seek asylum. Again, US laws need to change if we need to better help these people.
I mean, I agree with what you're saying, but its kind of to be expected. Microsoft has very little to lose, trying to sway public opinion and encouraging more lax immigration laws, and a lot to gain. Easier immigration would ease the cost of developers for the company, and adding the "save the children" flair is just good PR (not to mention I imagine a number of employees/managers agree with that stance).
This is like when IBM built and sold tabulating machines to the Nazis to help the Nazis record people killed during the Holocaust.

Microsoft: do you want people to eventually reference you in the future in this way?
The comparison falls flat in too many ways.
> The United States is losing stature in the world day by day

As a foreigner looking in for five decades I'd say that the post-Vietnam US stature was cyclical; generally positive but with the ability to surprise in a negative manner ( Panama and Grenada being two examples ), though such incidents were usually brief and forgiven like rare tantrums.

But that has changed; the current downturn is unusually deep and sustained, dating back to 2001. There has been no amelioration in image since then, it has been a steady decline and each subsequent global action has lost the element of surprise. The USA now conjures images of drone strikes, paramilitary police and unilateralism. Withdrawing from the HRC barely moves the needle.
> this is not something they need to lie about.

Of course it is, if the reporting entity is politically motivated at all.
I despise getting involved in threads like this, because they always descend into whataboutism ("Oh, but alcohol is worse!, etc.), but here we go with my anecdotal evidence.

Me, personally, not a huge fan. I dabbled and experimented like a good chunk of Americans, decided it wasn't for me. Not necessarily because I didn't enjoy it - although I was involved in quite a bit of team sports at the time and was worried about the health impacts - but because I saw the impact it was having on friends of mine.

YMMV (of course), but I simply saw too many ambitious, energetic people suddenly become very boring, and very comfortable with doing nothing. I have absolutely no doubt that it's a drug with tons of applications medicinally to treat everything from glaucoma to social anxiety to PTSD, but for purely recreational purposes, it appeared to be quite damaging and "Oh, alcohol is too!" just isn't a strong enough argument for me to be celebrating recreational legalization.
Create a unique drawcard that stands out and sells in an age of image-driven social media. If the area is not particularly attractive, find a way to make it more so.

Cadillac Ranch is old, scrap cars embedded in nondescript dirt. I've visited there from the other side of the planet.

Salvation Mountain is a low, plain hill adorned with plaster and paint. I've visited there from the other side of the planet.

There's a wall in San Luis Obispo that is literally covered with chewing gum. It's disgusting but awesome, and I've been there. Elmer's Bottle Tree Ranch is basically junk arranged in an interesting way. Visited that too. I went to a restaurant because it has a novelty sign talking about "Ho' Made Pies". I've got loads of examples.

If given 5-10 properties remotely near a driving route or international drawcard (like Zion), I'm confident I could invent a unique thing for each that would attract tourists and not be overly expensive to create. I suspect land-owners don't have the imagination or inclination though.

Haven't we done this ever since we invented jail/prison? Very few countries let criminals bring their kids to prison or require it.

There must be more than one country that puts kids in prison with the parents, but right now I can only think of one: North Korea

Most people consider that to be cruel and inhumane.

In case you were thinking that parents (or all people?) should never go to prison, well... that gets absurd. Unless you have some other punishment in mind, it means that parents literally get away with murder.

Something that wouldn't help is that the slide would be gradual. Kids would leave one by one. Prices or yield would fall slowly.

I worked as a contractor for a couple of months at a company with 100k+ employees. And then got hired.

Once a year human resources would decide my 'contract' was up and order IT to terminate my network access and payroll to stop paying me. Had another lady got hired from contract around the same time. The day she started working they terminated her email account and it took them six weeks to restore it.

But beyond any of that, the idea that a Facebook account needs to correlate to real world consequences, and real world facts is beyond stupid.

I can buy ten phones, create ten free email addresses, and create ten facebook accounts, tonight, and no one can stop me, or challenge what I've done, as long as it's not invasive and obnoxious to other users.

Nor should it be possible to draw reproach for doing such a thing. There are real reasons for users to want to create dummy accounts like that, and as usual, there's no reason 99 people need to suffer because one asshole has to misbehave.

Facebook, as a walled garden, is fated to forever lack practical utility. It's like a rain gutter that empties into a sewage facility you can never see inside.

[edit] Youtube has 3 kinds of customers (or users, if you wish): publishers, viewers and advertisers. It makes sense to separate them like that, but not based on a "pays/ does not pay" criterion. If PewDiePie is a customer, then most definitely Blender Foundation is a customer too.

Peeling back the layers a bit, it seems a major misfire in this whole story is that the employee in question was a short-term contractor... But a shot-term contractor who was apparently quite valuable to his team.

Smart companies'll make people in that position permanent employees. The machine is so automated partially to make sure legal compliance of two companies sharing one employee is executed upon correctly (because past lawsuits have made it clear that if you get too chummy with your contractors, you're on the hook for treating them like they're full-time).

Don't want to get screwed by your own automation? Make fewer people working in your building interchangeable third-party subcontracts.
That's kind of like saying it's in a restaurant's financial best interest not to give free refills. Running a profitable business is not simply a matter of directly reclaiming every dollar you spend.

Having a monopoly isn't illegal. Using monopoly powers in certain ways is, and this isn't one of those ways.

And yes, companies who have to survive in a competitive marketplace drive away non-paying customers all the time. Because they're not paying, and so the slight chance of turning them into paying customers, or benefiting existing paying customers, is worth the loss.
