Life is all about compromise. If you don't want to compromise on anything, so be it. That means you will spend the rest of your life with yourself. Unless you find the perfect female clone of yourself, which doesn't exist. This is also valid for friends, family, etc. We're all different in this world.
>because they know that if he can't deliver on his central campaign promise it will tear his base away from him and secure his 2020 defeat.

This is not true.

Trump could capitulate on the wall and he wouldn't lose a single voter in his "MAGA" base. He's basically a personality cult.

Sure the conservative talking heads will rant and rave for a while, but by 2020 it will all be forgotten. All of his supporters will find internal justifications to support him again even if it's a simple as "never supporting a 'libtard'". (They would rally around Gorsuch/Kavanaugh, low taxes, et al...) Trump will blame democrats (ofc) and his base will see it that way. "He didn't surrender it's the 'DEEP STATE' that got him!"

Pelosi/Schumer base is not so cultish - They won't forgive nor forget. They have everything to lose.
Higher temperatures also lead to desertification, smaller land area through sea level rise, and more extreme weather events. It's a complicated situation to predict, and it would be wrong to say it comes with no opportunities, but it looks like averting the situation, even partially, is going to be far less painful than dealing with the effects.
> If you are able to recruit founders to work with each other, you didn't prove anything that couldn't be just as easily proven by recruiting a VC to invest in you.

Eh, I think this is spurious. The specific post you're replying to is about a signal that seed funders can use to predict if founders have what it takes.

Seed funders can't really use the signal of "did they get VC money?"

Also, technical proof of concept is definitely a positive signal, but is not at all sufficient to make a reasonable investment bet.

One particularly eye-watering quote:

Huawei also built Zambia’s national data center, which handles all government data and storage. Zeko Mbumwae, the center’s general manager, says officials have no concerns that the gear could be used for Chinese intelligence or data-gathering purposes. “Once someone’s built you a home, you change the locks,” he says. “That’s what we did.“
I have to agree. Trumps political career will consist of 4-8 years. He doesn't have any reason to care about anything but doing what he promised.

And like you say - it's really not a big ask. It's around .1% of the US spending last year.

Edit: Sigh. Downvoted for stating pretty obvious truths. 5 billion to the US govt is very little. Trump isn't a lifetime politician, he's just in it for a term or two. If anyone has a valid criticism of those two statements please write it down.
I don't do it often/regularly, or schedule/track it, but if I get to the end of the day and don't feel particularly hungry, I don't eat. Since I usually only eat in the evenings anyways, I guess skipping one evening would put me in the 42-48 hour range.

If I don't feel weak, irritable, or hungry the next evening, I'll go another day. Without records, I'd guess I skip two consecutive evenings once or twice a year, and skip a single evening a few more times.
I would really put more detail in there about your sources, both what sites it pulls from, how articles are selected for inclusion, etc. Given where we are in the topic of journalism these days, almost any interested party is going to want to know, "Hey, is InfoWars gonna show up in this?"

Parameters like sort order, how many records to retrieve, etc. are mostly just implementation details, and not nearly as important for your front page. Where you get your sources is.

I'll always love my brother but, for this reason, I'd need to see proof that he's doing what you are. My brother has taught me that forgiveness does not imply a return to the previous status quo: we have our own, our spouses' and our childrens' mental health to protect.

I wish the best for you and patching up things with your family; I'm sure that they all still love you and want nothing more than a healthy relationship with you.

I've heard that most illegals arrested at the borders (airports too) or when detected are supposed to wait until judgment (hence cages last year i guess?), but the justice Dpt is so underfunded that it take a really long time to pass judgment, and people end up staying.

It was in a meetup around 2015, a French man who overstayed his visa to launch his company in Florida (something about autofilling paperwork for tutition and taxes). He got arrested 6 month before the launch date, still launched the product in time, then paid a lawyer to get away since his first visa was tied to an abusive company.

Why not giving those 5 Billion to accelerate those judgments, see what happens? I might be more effective.

And if you think a wall is effective, you should see how gibraltar handle border security, and ask them why they don't just build a wall. It may be less true now than when i visited northern morocco in my teens, but i have the feeling than people in charge of border security there might be puzzled by the idea.
And a lot heavier, too.
I think it’s more likely that an enemy will take out one carrier, after which the other ones will be kept out of the danger zone, thus becoming useless.

That’s what happened with the Tirpitz after the Bismarck was sunk. I think that situation is analogous because Bismarck’s demise was due to an attack with relatively cheap weapons (torpedo bombers) with a longer range than Bismarck’s guns, just as people predict modern air carriers don’t stand a chance against relatively cheap rockets because those rockets have a longer range than the airplanes on the carriers.

Again you are making the same mistake as most other here. You are speculating not actually demonstrating this to be true.

You have no base for the claim that there are going to be more problems just like you have no base for knowing if we are going to be better to deal with those that come.

We have more crops than ever and we are better at making sure they survive than ever in ever more hostile environments.

You are only looking at one side of this discussion and forgetting the other.

It does feel generic. I'm actually retroactively impressed that the old one looked so classy using so many colors (pour one out for https://metalab.co, who is doing just fine).

So* , I grew up in Texas and the "I mean" prefix goes back in my schooling years as far as I can remember. Though it usually is coupled with a bitchy attitude like the rhetorical "You do realize $X, right?"

* I'd say if there's a new one, it's the annoying "So" prefix. Mark Zuckerberg says it a lot. Common on HN as well. And the usage I'm referring to, like "I mean", is when it doesn't call back to anything and could be removed without consequence.
Drugs are one of many problems. It's mighty convenient youre only listing the problem that a cheap drone can (maybe) solve. (A wall also provides means for making drones less feasible).

The bigger issues are illegal immigration and human trafficking. Stop trying to ignore the vast majority of features a wall is being proposed for and act like it does "literally nothing". You're not clever.

Deleted code is debugged code.
As far as I know, MongoDB is still open source. If you are a hosting provider offering "MongoDB as a Service" the provider then needs to pay a licensing fee to Mongo.

To me, those are two contradictory statements. The software is not open-source if its license restricts the purposes for which it can be used, QED.
> We are building native apps now, but starting from scratch is time consuming. If we had used react-native-web to build the website, we could have reused the base components and built the native apps much faster!

Faster, but not necessarily better. Reusing web technologies for mobile is almost always an optimization for developer time, which might work early but I feel almost always ends up needing to be rethought in the future.

You're free to offer RHEL as a service without paying a fee. Most people do it through CentOS, but that's not a requirement of the GPL license; you have every right to copy the exact RHEL source code, build it, and run the resulting blob as a service for customers. The only things you can't do are call it "Red Hat" and use the Red Hat logo.

> Your entire comment is off-topic.

How so? I'm literally talking about the article.

> You ignored points #2 and #3 and misrepresented #1.

Point #2 wasn't worth addressing, but I'll do it just in case.

> 2. No one, at any point, makes an argument that you should believe anything he claims on his credentials alone.

Nor did I say anyone made that argument. Irrelevant.

> 3. In this world of click-bait headlines and ad-revenue-driven content, this doesn't even qualify as close to click-bait. It doesn't even say UFO, or alien, or artifact, or anything controversial. The title of the article is literally what it is. It is a Harvard astronomers thoughts on an object in space.

Nor did I say the article was clickbait. I mere pointed to the fact that the choice of words for the headline implies appeal to authority, though I did not say that in so many words.

Finally, I did not misinterpret #1. Let's revisit what you said

> 1. (...) People will take Harvard astronomers more seriously than backyard astronomy enthusiasts. Therefore his credentials are relevant.

Let's break this down:

(A) People will take Harvard astronomers more seriously than backyard astronomy enthusiasts.

This is precisely stating that people are subject to appeal to authority. You are saying someone's credentials confers their opinion with greater weight than if such opinion was anonymous, so you are agreeing with my original point.

But let's for a moment ignore the fact that we wish (A) wasn't true.

(B) Therefore his credentials are relevant.

It seems like you were trying to imply that because (A) is true, then (B) must true.

Your argument is tantamount to: If people believe in the value of credentials, then credentials are valuable.

In a more generic sense, if people believe in X to be valuable, then X must be valuable.

That's only true if you assume X has no inherent value but only that value which others confer to it. I would disagree with that assumption.

> So why harp on it?

I'm harping because the headline perpetuates the fallacy that credentials mean something. Maybe they do in practice as you said it yourself, but that's entirely besides the point. I'm arguing they shouldn't.

I'm also harping because it's a free "country".
That's YOUR argument.

Climate Change is cancer, and localised weather-based or natural disasters are broken legs.

In fact that's one of the things we've been really good at learning to deal with. Natures tendency to throw us all sorts of unexpected events.

Unexpected events within a relatively stable norm that humans have been living within for thousands of years. Climate change has the distinct potential to break out of those norms.

> The bigger issues are illegal immigration and human trafficking

Illegal Immigration: 60%+ are visa overstays and the country with the most illegals in the USA is CANADA. The wall is on the wrong portion of the country if you actually cared about that.

Human Trafficking is done by professional Coyotes who know how to hide humans in vans... and have well-made forgery equipment to make fake-passports and fake-ids. Coyotes may have US Citizenship (!!) which is why they're valuable to the gangs on the boarder. In effect, you stop a Coyote by intelligence, not by a wall.

Coyotes pass through the wall's entrance, just like everyone else. They're just hiding people in their vans, with "good enough" fake documents that Border Patrol doesn't notice. A wall doesn't stop them at all. We can't close the boarder: there are legitimate reasons for US Citizens to cross into Mexico and back. Its just difficult to tell who are Coyotes and who aren't.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coyote_(person)

Its a very difficult problem, and I assure you that a wall doesn't help at all. You need MEN, people to inspect more cars that cross the boarder. You also need agents who specialize in tracking down Coyote rings (undercover operations), etc. etc.

A Coyote is being paid roughly $2000 to get one person into the country. $2000 can easily pay for a 10-foot ladder to get over the wall (but they won't: they'll just hide in plain sight with fake documents / fake passports. Its way easier)

----------

If you wanna talk border security with me, then talk border security. Explain to me how $5 Billion on a wall stops a Coyote. Please.

Lemme tell you what doesn't help: with-holding the paycheck of all border patrol agents. That opens them up to "alternative" means of pay, if you get my drift. The Great Wall of China didn't stop the Mongols. The Mongols bribed their way through the gate. Withholding the pay of all border patrol agents sets us up for a similar situation.
I'm a millennial, just bought my first home this past August. It never even crossed my mind not to use a realtor. Sure I did a lot of communication with my realtor over text and e-mail but I never even considered not using one. I had done a lot of research and looking around before going to our realtor but I trusted our realtor more than I trusted myself to make sure everything was covered. It was more of an ease of mind deal and our realtor wasn't pushy and let us choose homes we were interested in for the most part, only occasionally making suggestions.

This is an effect more people should experience. Everyone should study and work in their area of specialty until they are considered professionally competent in that subject, then go check out that subject's subreddit. Feel bleak and abject despair. Realize you should never use reddit / similar voting-based internet forums to learn about subjects you don't understand because the signal-to-noise ratio is miserable. It's all people who don't know yet they don't let that fact stop them from posting. Early generations of charlatans "educate" successive generations and so you have this illusion that people might know what they're talking about or at least it appears like there's some legit group consensus. But it's just people going around replying in every sub-thread parroting what some random shmoe posted elsewhere in the very same thread; people racing to parrot it before other people parrot it so they get to be top parrot. People vote for stuff that's familiar to them because we universally are attracted to things we already recognize, so what we get is a bunch of those special sort of misconceptions that are popular among novices churning around endlessly.
