I feel that its unreasonable to demand such information, however, asking is an entirely different story. If an otherwise innocent citizen's movement out of the country is being restricted (as described in the report) for no evidenced reason, I view that as an infringement of their personal liberties.

When people re-enter the country, I can see it as a bit different and investigation could be more warranted, but I still don't agree with it. The fact these border zones are not considered US soil and you, as a citizen, immediately have some subset of rights is absurd and I doubt the founders of this country would agree with as being legal at all. I understand how such measures are justified through the idea of increased security, but it does so at the cost of liberty, which is never a good trade off.

Frankly, the US immigration services I've interacted with at the airport make you really feel like you're entering a police state when you return. Japan for example was a breeze and not at all intimidating and they have far stricter immigration policies than the US.
Going to be a hard lift to compete with the likes of http://strapi.io when you aren't open source.

I'm all for the headless CMS space, but I'll never recommend a solution to my clients that causes vendor lock-in and that I don't have the ability to operationalize myself.

Most folks in this space, wordpress included, follow a model of "open source, but pay us to scale and operationalize it for you".

They follow this model because it works.

As a CTO making decisions for my company, I'm not going to take the risk on a startup in this space without an open source fallback plan.
I certainly think that companies have been optimizing the phone for media consumption use, but I think it's because that's actually the only thing the phone is good for due its limited form factor.

Even if the phone becomes a more open platform, and we can snap our fingers and get superb battery life, better CPU, better screen, better storage, etc., typing even a few sentences on the phone is still pretty awful. Nothing short of serious improvement to digital assistants will help here.
I’m the co-founder and CTO of Transposit. Happy to answer any questions!
This is a good point, but it's not just that; X44 includes opioid deaths!

X42 governs accidental narcotic poisoning, but only in cases where the drug is specified, and isn't necessarily applied for prescription opioids. The list above for X44 is the 'including' list of suggestions, but the category includes any death from "unspecified drugs". And contributing causes of death are handled under a separate system making it possible to list more drugs in more detail, so the CDC says that both prescription and illicit opioid deaths can crop up under X44.

My point is that most of the rank-and-file at these companies will make, on an annualized basis, about as much as a typical FB or Google or Netflix employee makes in liquid comp today (of which there are many thousands). I'm just not sure if the marginal increase in "people who are now liquid" will do anything to the market and from what I've seen prices are not trending sharply up in anticipation of some sort of bidding war. I could be wrong. It's just an observation.
Passing a bill in the house doesn't have much of a forcing function on getting a bill voted upon in the Senate. I doubt McConnell will bring it up for a vote. It's perhaps possible to attach it to some must pass legislation, in committee, but I'm doubtful.
Yes, simple hashes that are widely disseminated solve the problem from a practical point of view. Someone tampering with a binary executable or installer cannot alter all of the copies of the hash.

A blockchain could be used for that. When you publish something, take its hash, and the add it to a public ledger.

“Clean” is overrated. Storage is cheap. Only clean things as much as it helps you find things. Spotlight is pretty good at finding things. I use tags to label how “good” something is, with red = excellent, orange = good, and yellow = has some value.

All articles are renamed so that the filename is the title of the article.

Desktop is scratch space for anything that I’m working on at this particular moment. If I’m not working on it now, I drop it in ~/Misc/$num++ or delete it. I purge files about once a year just to keep garbage from filling spotlight results, and only secondarily to keep free disk space.
Not sure how it managed to take you so long, but I do agree it's a PITA, and pure theatre.

I did need to get into D&B, and it was a bit of a faff - their website is a maze, and it took around a week after filling the form to get listed. Didn't need much time on it though.

One of the other requirements I had to fulfil was having a telephone number published in a sanctioned list of websites for a callback - so I registered a Skype number, published the number, did the callback, and terminated the number. Not sure what that was meant to prove...

Even the BBC acknowledges that many of the people in these caravans openly admit their plan is to enter the country illegally.

>Many of them say their goal is to settle in the US despite warnings by US officials that anyone found entering the country illegally will face arrest, prosecution and deportation.

Since the basis of your argument is demonstrably false, please try again.

Edit: Parent post accused me of lying, so I added the specific quote. Members say their goal is to settle in the US despite warnings that they may face arrest, prosecution, and deportation. If they were all going to apply for asylum in an orderly fashion they would not face arrest or prosecution.
Why bother with an email address? You could just punt the identity verification to the domain registrars and sign the domain.

I don't really think this scheme would benefit the end user though.
> The analogy for the net would be that domains that require more kilobytes would begin to pay more per kilobyte to have it delivered.

1. What does any of that have to do with domains?

2. What does any of that have to do with network neutrality, i.e., discrimination based on content?
I love it, too. It's keyboard-select extension has made me feel so much more efficient in working that I often feel handicapped when working in another person's terminal.

I mean, it's very often that one wants to copy part of the output of the previous command, and it sucks to have to reach for the mouse when the part is right there! just 1 or 2 lines above the text cursor. keyboard-select allows me to grab it in around 5 quick keypresses. It's also been tremendously useful to quickly determine if the big output of the previous command contains some piece of text without having to re-run it with grep repeatedly while adjusting the search.

That extension definitely has its warts like what happens when you go to the top of the buffer and select everything to the bottom (gVG). It causes the last screenful of text remain in a highlighted state as if it was originally like that. The ability to work on urxvt extensions is actually making me consider taking up perl.
I use an old (discontinued) app called DragThing that sits in the lower left corner of my desktop. It contains tabs for different project groups (Personal, Websites, Clients, etc). Each tab will have my most often used folders and I'll add / remove folders as needed.

For keeping my desktop clean, I keep a "clean-up" folder that I can sweep everything into and clear it out as needed (every 6 months or so).
As a native Houstonian (out in Katy) I do agree. I'm interested to see the metropolitan area grow further and to see what more IT work comes out of it all.

Nope. There's a lot of legislation passed in one chamber just to die in the other. I don't know how many times there have been bills to repeal the ACA in the house, for example, that never got voted upon in the Senate.
I'm confused why you're treating large income inequality as prerequisite to general societal wealthiness.

Rich people are, after all, by definition rich at the cost of the poorer people. Tanzania and Africa in general is a great example, actually. Colonial powers became and are still getting a lot more rich from it, very much at the cost of the future and health of the local population. The Wealth and excess of the west, even more so of the rich people in the west, would not be possible without child slaves mining for precious metals in Africa and workers driven to suicide in China.

Yeah I agree there is a verification problem. I certainly wouldn't try to tie any solid metrics or such to it.

My thing is... did they even try? There's a lot you can tell that is not the least bit portable or changeable. If it doesn't meet some requirement in the future, oh well that happens no way to be 100% sure. But at least some effort might leave a path open, even if not optimal.
In my experience, npp has been surpassed by vscode or atom. however, I have recently found the markdown npp plugin and because of npp's speed, its become my go to markdown editor/viewer.

If I need to just edit one file quickly with a simple change, npp is still my go to.
just curious, do you think it’s just a coincidence that US companies are responsible for the vast majority of medical innovation?
Five Myths about 5G
There's a very strong narrative of the tech elite sitting at the top of an oppressive hierarchy in San Francisco, but there should be some critical thought about the mechanism of this oppression.

Most of these tech workers are exchanging their millions for very typical dwellings. Much of the wealth created by technological development is passing through the tech workers to the land owners. It is the land owners and their political allies who insist that we must keep the housing scarce so that the land owners can continue to extract wealth from the labor of upper middle class.

Tech-derived prosperity is not causing deprivation.
You may think you have had a center left democratic party and center right democratic party in the past, but that's not how other western nations perceive you - many would say that the democratic party is center right, and the republican party is far right. Even before Trump.
That's assuming the area under the curve remains constant, when it doesn't. Redistribution will make the total wealth shrink.
Cool, I’d love to share my insurance with 3 people strategically distributed across time zones to avoid contention.

Day to day life is not bad here in USA. Its just human nature to compare with others. And all these newspapers feed on it.
Developer time is expensive. Allowing devs to focus on the core-product instead of CMS infrastructure is a big time/money saver. This is the value prop for most all API-first services: Stripe, Twilio, Algolia. Why would you build your own "free" payments processing / telephony / search service when these focused services have done a really good job solving the problem for you?
The Woodlands is a great place in the Houston area. It's north of the city and a fairly varied place as far as Texas goes. There are tons of companies, tech and otherwise here. Housing can be expensive by Texas standards, but would not cause a Californian to flinch. I know several California families who sold their homes there and bought their houses outright here in Texas, which has done wonders for their incomes.

IT pay in Texas is subpar. I used to live in Northern Virgina and my base pay there was over 100k. Good luck with that in Texas--anywhere. The cost of living here just doesn't support those wages. The average IT salary here is 55-75k. More can be had, but those jobs are just not prevalent here like on either coast. I had a potential job opportunity in NYC, but my wife looked at me like I had grown horns. The money would have been great, but like California, the COL is outrageous. But...the public transport is great. It's walkable. Tons of culture and food, better weather. I like snow. I like rain.
Art is a form of communication. The skill with which works are crafted is often part of how they are able to communicate so well, but it isn't strictly necessary. If you find yourself looking at highly regarded art and not understanding why, it is possible its just that you don't have the right context to understand what it is saying.

Of course it is also possible it s all just so much wankery and garbage, but you can't just assume that.
I agree with the article's message. I have a lingering question though. The only thing that puzzled me is why Toren Reesman, the person being examined in the article, didn't opt to be an industrial designer. It's a very hands on major where you create physical things. Why didn't he like it? Was he even exposed to it?

I use both. xargs does a simple job reasonably well; if I'm just typing on the command line it often is the tool I use. parallel has many, many more options and ways to turn output from script A into parallel invocations of script B in multiple machines. Parallel is also handy just for parsing filenames; it's become my default tool for manipulating a stream of filenames and then running commands on them. The parallel part is just a nice plus.
You could argue that the divisive topics are those most desperately in need of discussion...
The article linked mentions that the benefit of education increases nonlinearly with years completed, and then suggests that it’s a signalling mechanism for attainment.

I don’t entirely know if I agree with that, as I do think an undergraduate degree’s benefits are meant to be more impactful as you learn and specialize. Political Science students might learn general theories before engaging a specific focus, or electrical engineering students might spend their first year or two getting the foundations in place. I feel like the example is saying that if you taught someone programming with variables and not functions, but then claimed that employers use an understanding of functions as a social signal for hiring.

That said, I do agree with the sentiment that we kind of over prescribe higher education to the general public. I’ve lost count of how many CS majors I’ve met that seem to have wished they did a trade school for programming instead of a four-year degree.
> The problem with a "netflix" model, is that doctors can currently prescribe anything, regardless of cost or efficacy.

Can you expound on what you mean by "usually at the expense of people poorer than them"? I understand this sentiment when it comes to things like predatory lending, but would like to learn more about how it applies to non-exploitative areas.

A couple possible examples to help with the discussion:
1. A new millionaire buys a house from someone in SF and lives there.
2. A new millionaire buys a rental property from someone in SF, renovates it, and raises the rent to make back their capital outlay.
3. A new millionaire buys a broken down classic car, invests capital into repairing it, and sells it to a collector for a profit.

The person you replied to also doesn't mention that just because you attend a trade school doesn't mean you can't acquire an expansive world view on your own, again more stigma that is indicated in the article.

Why wouldn't a linesman, electrician or carpenter be able to self educate? We live in the day and age of the internet, the largest store of human knowledge ever to exist is a few clicks and an inquisitive mind away.

I understand that college exposes you to things you might not have otherwise been exposed to, and provides teachers and mentors to facilitate the learning of that material. But if you attend college with the end goal of getting a degree to cash in for a paycheck like so many college age people do and you're not motivated to actually learn the material you're exposed to in any meaningful way and that information isn't retained then what's the point? Certainly that's not all college kids but I'd argue the vast majority are only there because they believe it to be a ticket to the middle class.

I'm a self-taught software engineer who never finished college, so the trade school stigma hits home. I certainly strive to be as educated and productive as possible in my life and career - and so far that path hasn't held me back at all. I'm employed, highly paid and fairly happy, I just chose not to receive that education in the confines of the classroom

You have to remind yourself to take this kind of figure with a grain of salt, since every measurement technique has some kind of bias. The StackOverflow survey specifically targets SO users, Google Trends might overestimate languages that receive lots of queries due to less experienced programmers or poor documentation, and it is truly impossible to scan the entire web to find which CMS powers each site (especially since customized CMS installations might not have telltale signs that others do).
Democrats have a long track record of trying to get money out of politics. A constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and establish public funding of election campaigns has been on the platform since 2014, and it was one of Hillary Clinton's chief campaign promises.

For Republicans, it is just the opposite: they voted unanimously against an amendment proposal to overturn citizens united (all Democrats in favor)[1], unanimously against a bill requiring fincial disclosures of campaign finance (all Democrats in favor)[2], twice[3], against a ban on dark money campaign ads[4], unanimously in favor of a repeal of the existing pittance of public campaign money (all Democrats against)[5], and against a bill to require auditable paper trails of elections (all Democrats in favor)[6]

Money in politics is absolutely NOT a "both sides" issue.
