Who will support the immigrants?

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2015/09/01/immigr...

With most of their households receiving some form of welfare, it doesn't seem like this helps with the Baby Boomers at all.

Lots of non-immigrants are also unemployed. If anything, we have too many working-age people for the jobs available.

With more and more robot-like replacements for workers (kiosks, self-driving, etc.) it sure seems foolish to get more low-skill people. What will they do for a living?
It really is amazing, and I feel like there’s lessons to be learned from understanding how your body (and mind) respond to stress by adaptation. It’s a remarkable feeling to be able to turn stress into a positive force in your life.
That's perfectly fine. To the vast majority of HN, the internet may be the 2nd most time consuming aspect of our lives after family life (or perhaps the 1st). So much of our lives revolves around the internet - maintaining friendships, getting into careers, learning new things - that we've become almost inseparable from the revolutionary communication it provides.

Yet, as amazing as the internet can be, it's still what you make of it. There's users with greatly varying proficiencies with vastly different use cases. Some people just aren't as accustomed to it as others. For us younger folks, it's easier to take something for granted when you've had it basically your entire life. A person who is 50-60 years old (born between 1958-1968) was in their 20s-30s when the internet was becoming mainstream. As someone in their 20s that thinks "wtf are these kids talking about" when a teenage cousin explains the internet culture of "vlogging", I could imagine some of the people back when the internet first came about were like "wtf I can send mails to other people over the telephone wires that's not telegraph and is done by computers" (I'm exaggerating). As you can see by standard adoption curves, there's always a group of last remaining holdouts. Maybe they've gotten by fine in life without adopting and don't feel compelled to bother. As the old saying goes, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". These people carry with them what seems to be a soon-to-be historical lifestyle that's still important to remember.
I wish all three perspectives had been more like the last one; the first two were pretty much just the stereotype of old people who don't like the internet because it's too newfangled. It's more interesting to learn about factors that limit people who otherwise might use it.
That's an interesting idea, however note:

1) There's a reason why an Portuguese pension fund might hold Irish debt rather than Portuguese debt; for example, wanting to hedge and diversify, earn higher returns, or have lower risks. Forcibly swapping the debt gives them an investment they didn't want, and doesn't really "make them whole".

2) It costs just as much to pay back a Portuguese pensioner who owns one of your bonds as an Irish one; this swap does nothing for government finances. Which is why this also is totally not the plan being discussed.

The article talks about "The countries can reduce their total debt..."; you're talking about reducing the exchange rate risk of the debt. There's no real overlap here.
Good article. A newer one would probably include xdp as well since this was written before xdp was included in common kernels, especially RHEL's

I'm only seeing 1 fatality from China, does that move the needle substantially in this analysis?

> To have the largest sample size and best confidence intervals possible, we also included international accidents (three total, from Canada, Holland, and China). Given the higher incidence of fatal accidents per vehicle-year in China compared to the United States, and the lower incidence of fatal accidents in Holland and Canada, these three deaths should adjust to 3.63 deaths. However, for the sake of conservatism and to avoid a large debate about a rather small difference, we use 3.00 deaths in our analysis.
I wonder if tighter guarantees can be given if tools can work with constructs like D's contracts. These are extra sections in each function that are intended to check invariants. If these invariants change, then they were either broken and needed fixing or the function had a semantic change.

Naive question: when buses are bunching, can't the front bus skip stops that are not needed for dropoffs? (the driver would have to announce that passengers need to request their stops of course).
"But I'd be worried about 5 years from now. When all the little gears and things that go on in backend becomes a commodity (or abstracted away in the "cloud"), what are you going to do?"

Well, over the last 8 years or so I started out in a similar kind of place, and have gotten quite good at building CRUD and business logic and glue, and fixing crap on the front end, and configuring servers.

Maybe I can stand in for the OP a few years down the line?

Over the last quarter, I've been splitting my time between things like linux admin automation and a set of pre-calculus core classes.

To answer your question on my personal scale, my whole ability to do this kind of work with my mediocre CS education (my BA is in Philosophy, and my PhD work is in Lit) is premised on leveraging the points in the systems where "all the little gears and things that go on in backend have [become] a commodity"... hence I just integrate ERP systems with WordPress or try and clean up some business's AWS drupal hosting setup some crap like that. That's been a fun and rewarding conjunction of my love for systems and the commodification of parts of IT/ programming work.

My hope is that by the time all the little bits of these data science topics become "abstracted away" over the next couple of years, I will understand the general underlying things well enough to use them. But who knows if that is a good bet or not... certainly not me.

However, it feels perfectly fine to learn things like math... I'm way, way better at it than I was as an undergrad 20 years ago and so it's quite a lot more fun for me. It's not like knowing some math has no application outside of this narrow field.

I dunno if my personal answer (keep learning, and enjoy fixing crap) matches the OP or helps extend your points/ question, but I've been getting a lot of fun (and some money) out of following my answer.
There are plenty of solutions to middlemen. Usually they exist not because of technical limitations but because of other reasons (see car dealerships).
If it could have been done by others, then why wasn’t it? In 1997, Apple was nearly bankrupt. When the iPod came out in 2001, Apple was just barely eking out a profit.

Why couldn’t Microsoft, RIM, Motorola, Google or Nokia do something similar to the iPhone?

Even today, with dozens of companies making Android phones, none can create a phone compelling enough that people are willing to pay enough for to make them profitably.

But as far as what Jobs did with iTunes, Bill Gates himself praised Jobs....

All of the “burnt out engineers” who worked on the original iPhone could easily write their own ticket for the rest of their life. Given a choice between being able to say that I worked on the original iPhone and that I did yet another software as a service CRUD app, I would much rather have been able to say I worked on the original iPhone.

Exactly this. It's merely a petty move. It doesn't benefit the country, it benefits his fragile, classless ego.

Has he looked or been otherwise briefed on how these mandates have crippled the American automakers? I'll be damned if he knows more than a talking point or two.

The best way to get a job is to apply for one. Don’t mean to be snarky. Have you seriously tried? Lots of talented people are self taught.
Probably pretty simple. Destructively making a public API change is breaking. Additively changing an API isn’t. Adding an optional public param or new symbols isn’t.

Harder to detect cases in which the signature stays the same but the expected behavior changes, though (as noted in TFA).
What’s wrong with having a bookbag?

Here in Finland, practically everyone carries one. From young kids to grown adult men and women. I even saw an old person with one the other day. One can’t carry as much nor is it practical to use briefcases.
The author of this article claims to have received an award for at least one published medical study, and I think someone should take a serious look at it. If he thinks that this methodology is okay in a study, I can't imagine what would happen if someone used his medical study for anything but laughs.
Thank you for the insight. Would you be willing to elaborate a bit on finding a good match for advisor, and perhaps any thoughts on approaching someone about exploring an advisorship?
It depends on the language it was compiled in. It'll help you retrieve the binary, but you need to use the right tool to get the source code from it. It's not different than download an app on your host machine. It just make it easier for you to see what people put in an image. Android/Java is a language you can get the entire source from excluding if they obfuscate it.
I always enable three finger drag in touchpad preferences for this very reason.
Such as? White space changes can be ignored, comments can be stripped pre diff, both version can be run through the same formatter before hand. What you're then left with are the actual changes.

Anything removed or modified is a breaking change. Anything added to a public struct is a breaking change, which can and arguably should be hidden behind an interface. Adding functions is about all I can think of that's left.

Even if it's not perfect, it's a simple 90% solution with 40 year old tools.
These regulations impose an unfair burden on consumers outside of the state, who must pay for California-spec'ed emissions equipment that they never wanted or were required to have. Non-Californians have litte power in the voting booth to resist California's impositions. By going after the exemption, the administration is making things more fair for the folks in the other 49 states.
It's been a while, since I studied this, but linear bounded automata are arguably a better model for the real computers we can actually build and the halting problem is computable for LBAs.

Nintendo shuts a popular Game Boy Advance emulator and two ROM sites
Google's motives tend to be just having as much data as possible so they can draw powerful inferences from it, in contrast to Facebook which mainly values exclusivity over their data. By playing the "good guy" card, Google:

- Generally encourages more data to be out there and available

- Pressures companies like Facebook to play along, weakening their data strongholds, lest they be painted as the bad guys

- Gets a lot of goodwill and, more importantly, user trust, which encourages people to give them even more data

While Google's interests seem to align with consumer interests more often than those of the other tech oligarchs, they don't do anything out of sheer good will.
I'm struggling to see that number in the report. Is this something we need to go diving in for and calculate? I note from the twitter post you put up (thanks for the tip, now following Tren), that FCF is often obscured. Tips on how to find it/work it out?

It “helps” automakers. As it stands now, they only build to the California standards since it is too expensive to build two sets of cars.

Until they do away with California’s stricter regulations, the loosening of regulations at the federal level has no effect.
It seems odd to me that California gets a pass to make their own rules here. I don't know the law enough, but there does seem to be some minor parallels to the sports betting SCOTUS case that was just ruled on (saying that it was illegal to have special waivers for a single state). Maybe this is different as it was a waiver by the EPA and not a law?
Trauma wasn't Steve's strategy; it was a side-effect of his strategy.

His strategy was demanding an unreasonable level of excellence and being indifferent to how the people who worked for him might be impacted. Those that survived got to work at a company where everyone was extremely talented. People who couldn't stand the heat were free to work elsewhere. It's arrogant, but it did allow him to create a uniquely creative and effective environment.

And keep in mind that if the Apple acquisition of NeXT hadn't worked out -- an acquisition that Steve was opposed to, I believe -- NeXT could have ended up in the dustbin of history, and there would be no OSX, iMac, iOS, iPod, or iPhone. So in many ways, the approach could have backfired, but in this case, it didn't.
This has me thinking the cryptography of the future is going to get wildly complex.
So we should only have to follow the intersection of all state regulations? That sounds like a great race to the bottom.
Huh, interesting. My experience with windows 10 has been generally awful. I still keep it around for games (yes, I've tried wine) but beyond that I try not to use it too much.

Thanks for the view in support of this decision. It'll be interesting to see whether or not that view holds up in court, as it'll have long reaching ramifications when it comes to states rights. If a law in a state forces others around it to comply simply due to the population/power differences between the states, is that law legal?
How to Fix Untrusted SSL Certificate Error in Android
The exemption just allows California to enforce tougher standards on themselves. If other states want to follow suit, they're not compelled to by California, automakers choose to build a single model that works in all 50 states rather than spend the money to make multiple emissions models, but they are not forced to either.
I have a sense that there's something wrong here. Wrong layer of abstraction? California imposes whatever pollution regulations it wants, then it's up to the car manufacturers how to handle that. They could choose not to sell to CA residents. They could choose to make a separate line of CA-specific cars. But they choose instead to make all their cars up to CA standard because whatever, it's cheaper for them overall, and consumers will pay the extra anyway.

So there is obviously a market solution here. It seems wrong to target the CA regulation layer on this one.

Also, are we sure that it costs more on the margin to manufacture cleaner cars?

Plus, I can't help but think it's not that bad if we accidentally have cleaner cars, but that's not really a principled stance, it just worked out in this case.

How did I make it out to be? Also how do you respond, "this is much rare than you make it out to be" from reading my comment. (Assumptions) while attempting to justify madness is a scapegoat at best from changing ones view; from understanding the human error of the poor process. Now I have no way to know the frequency if it's rare or common. Unrelated to my past comment, I don't believe in free will and think the whole justice system is madness.
How many of those are American, though? Loosely regulating American manufacturers only would be more in line with Trump's isolationist tendencies.
Easy and working steps to activate night mode on Android
Not true--when CA imposes new emissions or efficiency regulations, the automakers are forced to comply to keep access to that huge market. Not wanting to design two different vehicles, they simply comply and pass the cost along to all of the buyers, whether they live in CA or not. The rest of the country has no way to directly affect the CARB's decisions. This exemption, therefore, is very unfair for the rest of us. The administration's policy could have significant impact on the price of vehicles for the rest of us. My diesel truck, for example, has several thousand dollars worth of emissions equipment that my state does not require. It's problematic and I'd love to skip it on my next purchase.
The reason being the war that the US government incited (in the name of their “God”).
NeXT's "success" is definitely owed to the Apple acquisition, which almost didn't happen.

DBKit was basically discarded and redesigned as EOF, which did make it into the Mac. I'm not sure EOF made it into the iPhone, but the tech lead on EOF Richard Williamson, became tech lead for the first iPhone application stack.
> None of this has anything to do with fast persistent storage, but I sincerely hope the era of 500-day uptimes is waning.

On the contrary. Persistent memory means that infinite uptime is the future. Which, as you note, is difficult. Resetting the OS every now and then to a known state is a good practice, although disruptive to a lot of workflows.

If anything, I consider your post to be an argument AGAINST persistent memory.

>A phishing site you've never visited before will have no credential ID. Any fake ones it tries to generate will be rejected since the MAC would be invalid.

That was my original question: presumably there has to be some way for new websites to be registered on the system. Does it just categorically reject anything not on a predefined list? I mean, there are legit reasons to visit not-github! And new sites need to be added.

In order to say something is “fake”, that has to be defined relative to some “real” site you intend to visit, and I don’t see how this system even represents that concept of “the real” site. Phishing works on the basis that the site looks like the trusted one except that I’ve never been to it.

Put simply: I click on a link that takes me to a site I’ve never been to. Where does this system intervene to keep me from trusting it with information that I intend to give to different site, given that the new site looks like the trusted one, and my computer sees it as “just another new site”?

>What contradiction? It just plain isn't part of the threat model. Was that not clear?

Not at all. You said it “stops phishing sites from using your credentials to log in”. That implies some other secret that’s necessary to log in (making the original credentials worthless in isolation), and yet the next quote rejected that.

If you were just repeating a generic statement of the the system’s goals, which wasn’t intended to explain how it accomplishes them, then I apologize for misunderstanding, but them I’m not sure how that was supposed to clarify anything.

Late edit: as in the other thread, I think I’m just being thrown off by this being mislabeled as a phishing countermeasure, when it’s just another factor in authentication that also makes use of phished credentials harder. Not the same as direct “detection of fake sites”.
No, that's not what I'm saying at all. As the article states, CA has a special exemption to the law. We merely need to set a national standard and have the automakers follow that.
No it doesn’t impose anything of the sort. Car manufacturers are perfectly free to not sell cars to Californians and therefore manufacture cars that don’t meet Californian regs. The reason California has those regs is precisely because they have exercised their state rights. And why should the feds be making it more or less fair for anyone? Isn’t this a free market?
To be clear, the exemption has been in place since the 1970's and allows California to pass their own requirements, that meet or exceed federal requirements.

We would not be allowed standards that are below federal standards, we're just allowed to be tougher on ourselves than the fed requires.
Well it might be. They also include a casualty from NL at face value, while casualties are MUCH rarer here. I agree with the need for discounting of a Chinese casualty, but it's quite common practice to try to get more data points. That is good practice, not bad, and we only seem to disagree with the execution (is a China casualty 1 or .8?) In this case it wouldn't matter the base take-away much.
What percentage of US cell plans aren't unlimited minutes these days? I'm thinking it has to be a tiny amount.

Seems like they would like to unclog their Network not to mention their servers have to handle and store all the voicemails.
Only California is allowed the exemption though, I can't think of a good reason they alone should have that power.
