Those are pretty impressive honestly.

Wells Fargo is 2008 Bank of America. They will do everything they can to improve their image -- good time to join actually, IMO.

DuPont will be fine. JD can become a dinosaur and still live another 50+ years on name alone.

> You didn't address my point,

I addressed what you said. If you had a point beyond that, it wasn't apparent.

> but I'll address yours:

No, you won't, even though my point was exactly what I said.

> Could those social, political and racial divisions be addressed by living in different polities?

That's not really germane to what I said, either on its own or in its context as a response to your claim about change since some time relevant to Mr. Rogers origins. It seems to be more a passive aggressive way of making a separatist point that your use of white nationalist code throughout the year has been trying to dance around rather than actually responding to any point of mine. But, I will respond to it:

(1) No, the divisions are to multidimensional and evolving for separar polities to be a viable solution; and, in any case, separate polities just shift internal conflict to external conflict, they don't resolve conflict except when the conflict is primarily about a desire for separate polities.

(2) While there have been occasional bits of retrograde, the broad course over time does that they can be, and largely are being, addressed without separate polities.
Check out online banks. My Ally Bank savings account offers 1.75% interest. Another option could be a CD ladder.

Some banks, like Ally, also offer a "no penalty" CD, which has lower interest rates than a regular CD, but you can pull your money out at any time without paying a penalty, like you would on a regular CD.

An "us against the world" founding cohort bent on seeing (or making) enemies where none existed, a fundamentally toxic anonymity dynamic, no effective user-focused moderation tools, staff incompetence, indifference, or blindness, AWOL forum moderators, brigading, and more.

The cohort problem is similar to other disaffected diasporas, across the political spectrum -- Voat and Imzy couldn't be more different in outlook, but the behaviour was quite similar. This is why founding cohort is so crucial. Usenet, Slashdot, Reddit, Facebook, and HN draw from a similar (if highly nonrepresentative) group in that regard: larrhely techy, college-educated, wealthier, male, and generally culturally privileeged. There are of course numerous individual exceptions, but this is the general trend. Finding a formula for a more inclusive, but healthy, founding group would be a Good Thing.

I don't know much about the job market, but it seems weird that they push people throw college for degrees they can't use.

That's the point I was getting at.

This is a bandaid on a sucking chest wound, not a silver bullet. Traditional defense in depth:

* Run web processes with minimum privileges

* No write access to the directories where your executable runs

* Audits for filesystem access and use of "eval"

* et cetera

The only reason we're entertaining this kind of idea is because people have legacy apps written in PHP that they need to deal with and keep running. Fine, but there are problems with this "polyscripting" approach... this looks substantially worse than, say, doing something more straightforward like signing your code with a cryptographic key and refusing to execute unsigned code. In fact, this looks like a hackneyed, amateurish way of doing exactly that, all while making the debugging experience immeasurably worse. Modifying PHP to only execute signed code would surely be trivial by comparison.

This a hack that doesn't even need to exist.

Without a doubt you need to make a drive up 395 on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevada. Stop in Bishop at Mahogany. Get some jerky. Hint: the habanero is HOT!

This is the real deal. No industrial processed BS.

Continue driving north to Lee Vining. Eat at Mono Cone. Look across Mono Lake to where High Plains Drifter was filmed. Go further north to Bodie. (You have already eaten all of your jerky, because you didn’t buy enough).

Or just get mail order deliveries. Not quite the same. But excellent nonetheless.

The distinction I want to make here is that Megaupload itself was not directly infringing any copyright.

The problem you have with them is that they sided with their customers instead of copyright holders, doing what they believed the bare minimum to comply with the law.

I'm not saying that is not an immoral practice, or that Megaupload was completely following the law. I just want to make the distinction clear.

There are three parties:

1. Megaupload

2. Users

3. Copyright holders

What has happened is that copyright holders had a dispute with users, and demanded Megaupload handle that dispute in a way benefiting only the copyright holders.

Since when are data hosting services police? We have seen the problems caused by that mentality at YouTube, where fair use content is censored. My opinion is that it should not be the burden of a data hosting service to police copyright infringement.
Serious question - does anyone use Haiku for anything more than playing?

I was a huge BeOS fan back in the day, and bought the Intel version when I had a Pentium ][ computer. I was so excited for OpenBeOS (now Haiku) after BeOS got acquired, but it's been something 17 years, and it looks they're still just a release candidate for 1.0.

Back then, BeOS did some amazing stuff compared to Windows, but technology has come a long way since then, and I'd rather be using MacOS, Windows or a Linux Desktop like Ubuntu than Haiku.

allybank, capital one savings, personalsavings.americanexpress.com, and some others all offer >= 1% interest now. Some are >= 2% that I've run across. Still lower than inflation, but better than .001%

Increased fed fund rates and tapering off QE has been having effects. Retail customers generally are unaware of this, so retail banks are still able to not pay any actual interest.

A lot of the weirdness in the market (from Tesla to GE and others) is due to increased returns from 'safe' investments causing easy money for risky ventures to start to dry up. Expect failures as companies built on nearly free money start having to pay up or fold. Some will survive, many won't.
I'm a US citizen cofounder working abroad married to a non-citizen, non-green card holding spouse. It appears our company would meets the qualifications for expeditious naturalization of my wife.

Given that we live abroad and won't be returning to the US while this company requires me to be abroad, is it possible for us to move ahead with expeditious naturalization?

My initial H-1B in Dec 2016 was granted without any hiccups, but it seems that the transfer is about to take ages.

Also, I didn't receive any 221(g) slip after the interview. In fact, the visa interview officer was quick to add that my visa was granted, and I was asked to make the visa issuance fee at the consulate (which we promptly did and returned him the receipt).

However, I did receive email for supplemental information the very next day, to which I replied promptly (within a day), and since then the case is stuck in "Administrative Processing".

By "falling through cracks", did you mean that they might be doing a lots of extra scrutiny, or is it that I'm at the bottom of the priority right now?

Thank you.
The article says the exact opposite.

GDPR is a wonderful thing.
Now profits are important too. Companies need money. That's how they pay their employees, do R&D, stuff like that. If they don't make money, employees will get fired, and they won't be able to develop new, better and potentially safer planes.

Wow, I'd have a variety of responses to this remarkable post.

Obviously, safety regulations should allow for the profitable production of planes and they clearly do, the rest should be up to the plane manufacturer. Now, profits as such aren't what creates jobs as such. Rather it's the productive use of capital - a patent troll making a mint creates zero jobs for example. Now, if a particular form of investment doesn't create jobs one place, it should be able to create them elsewhere. Guaranteeing profits in one sector has many pernicious effects, often including a lack of job growth rather than the reverse.

Just as much, the profit/safety equation is more complex than "more profits, more safety spending" (to say the least). For example, if safety regulations can always be ignored for profits, plane manufacturers will build less safe planes over time.

Finally, a management which responds to not being able to produce a new, unsafe design by making their present line of planes unsafe by "lowering standard" should be looking at jail time.
They might offer that too, but they also fairly clearly advertise telemarketing approaches.

Hi Peter,
A friend of mine is a US citizen from Iran. His father is receiving medical treatment in the US for a very serious condition. His mother wants to visit to be with her husband, but has been unable to get a visa due to the Travel Ban. How can we petition for a waiver? We have contacted congressional representatives, so far no answers. Worried that his mom may not have the opportunity to see her husband if his condition worsens.
Informational budget constraints and cost-reward calculus.
France has it good. Here's my anecdote: I got a SIM card from France for my last trip for 20 euros (30$) all included. That was enough for what I needed it for. Fast forward, I come back to Canada, and I still have that SIM card. I can now use it locally, with unlimited text, calls and 25 GB of data, without paying a cent more. MMS included.

My local phone contract is 70$ per months for 6 GB and a limited numbers of calls/text and no MMS. So I'm basically paying less than half roaming with my France SIM than with my local one, while having a better service. The real kicker? The roaming is happening on my local's provider network.

I don't care what your definition of insanity is, mine is Canadian telecoms.
Are you disagreeing with my use of the word "most" here? If so, do you happen to know what percentage of families own 51% of the wealth? Or if it's the word "small," can we agree that 5% (or whatever it is) is still a "small" number as compared to the remaining population? I feel like we're very nearly on the same page here.

You are correct that comparing the top 1% to the bottom 90% is mildly hard to reason about due to leaving out the 2nd through 9th percentile, but I feel like the overall point stands. (Well, and in general, I think it's pretty clear that hard work and sacrifice simply do not usually result in wealth. That was my original point.)
Why go through all this trouble when you could just use code-signing? Only load and run source or executable files with a trusted certificate. For more robustness you generate a self-signed cert on the build server that no outside parties have access to.

Dedicated interpreter/script pair is a cool idea, at least. The "impossible" also seems like an overstatement to me - it doesn't seem hard to reverse engineer the scramble that was applied, since there are frequently ways to get the ability to read the raw source of the file being executed (certainly against PHP), and if you can match it against a known source file (easy for open source libraries) you can use that 1:1 mapping to identify what scramble was used. Common code patterns show up all the time in source, and since the scramble preserves literals and structure it will be easy to identify the scrambled token based on the pattern.

The sad thing is even if this ends up being a great defensive technique, deploying it in practice would be a real pain because you're not running known-good packages or installers anymore, you have to build your own dedicated runtime/interpreter from scratch to match the scramble on your application. To avoid high risk, you probably need to change the scramble regularly, which means building the interp again. And if you use a different scramble per application (for sandboxing, etc) then you aren't getting page sharing between the native modules. :(
>know the Verge is run by strange people, but their top recommendation is a Chinese laptop with a design ripped-off of the MacBook Pro

Review sites are always struggling to include or nominate some second-tier PC, to avoid having always a MacBook Pro or iPhone as the first choice -- even when the alternative is subpar.

>made by a company that we are recommended to avoid right now because of questionable connections to Chinese government?

That's really quite irrelevant.

Besides, have the US government also warned people not to use Facebook, Google, and co, because of their ties with it and its surveillance?

We're not at full employment. Full employment implies wage growth but wages still aren't growing very fast. This is a case where we've gamed the metric. If wages continue to grow faster then we'll know we're getting towards full employment.

Hi, first of all thank you for your time.

I have been a green card holder for a bit more than 5 years now, and would like to move forward with the naturalization process.

For better growth opportunities, I changed employer soon after my green card was obtained (about 2 months after). I have stayed with my former employer (big enterprise which sponsored my H1B and then GC petition) for 3+ years, and with my current one (the small startup I moved to after the GC) for 5+ years, always working in the same field and performing similar software engineering duties.

Besides that, clean record (just a couple minor traffic tickets).

My question for you is: do you think it would be wise for me to move forward with this and start the N400 process, or do I risk opening a can of worms which could backfire on me and in the worst case having my green card revoked because of alleged fraud, especially considering the new administration?

Thanks

The shorter and an easier route is to get transferred as a manager. If you are from India, join an Indian company which has a US office or US HQed company based in India (or any other country, maybe Canada), get promoted to manager and transfer to US on EB1C. There are certain restrictions, you have to be outside US for atleast a year and some other restrictions. But, this is the shortest route. Do not be like me and wait in the queue for 15 years. Use the shortest legal means possible.
