Note that this only for naturalized citizenship, and even then only for a limited time afterwards.

As I understand it, the prevailing precedent of the Supreme Court is that revoking citizenship is something that a person must willfully do with the intention of having their citizenship revoked. This wasn't always the case, as it used to be that Congress could declare revoking actions that applied even without intent. So it's possible that this could change, but it's been the case for over half a century and unlikely to change anytime soon.

> Messi

One of my assertions is that Messi hasn't proven himself to be a GOAT until he's been great somewhere else. It's easy* to perform at a high level when the entire team is built around you as at Barcelona. In non-Messi-specific environments (ie Argentina national team), he just doesn't perform as well.

Whereas Ronaldo, on the other hand, has done it in several distinct environments and elevated the teams he's been in (which I guess makes him a "true" 10x player?)
Yes, and I bet there are 10x employees in all other areas of work as well.

Downvoting isn't censoring. But on that topic, what if we're living in a simulation where the goal is to censor every idea except one?
You need more than agree and disagree to measure engagement, otherwise you're just measuring polarization. For example you might want to measure several reactions such as: interesting, funny, angering and sad.

Yeah, I was in a debate team in high school. I suppose it is good training for people who end up becoming lawyers and have to defend people that they may or may not really believe are innocent, but as someone who ended up going into science I see how it is a bit grotesque -- the idea in competitive debates is that rhetoric matters more than actual factual information and that a good debater can argue either side with equal ease.
Great tool. Everything is adaptive and simple at the same time.
Ok.

Can we have a (minimal as you want) financial plan?

I mean, let's say that the building (by a professional contractor, with architect/engineers/whomever professional assistance, with all permits, etc., i.e. "turnkey") is going to cost to a "normal" person US$ 120,000 (or if you prefer 20% more than your $100K (which sounds to me appropriate, probably something in the 50-60 sqm or 500-600 sqm net surface).

Example of such an ADU:

https://crossconstruction.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Des...

How much is the expected income (rent - taxes) per year?
US$ 20,000 per year or 1,600 US$/month?

How much is the rate of the mortgage if you "simply" borrow the money from a bank? (let's say a minimal down payment of 10,000 and thus a loan of 110,000)

It should be (roughly) anything between 500 and 600 US$/month for a 30 years mortgage (fixed rate), let's make it 7,000 US$/year.

Besides the downpaynent of 10,000, at fixed prices (which is likely NOT the trend for rents in an area where people resorts to living in ADU's) you get 1,600 US$/month, spending 600, i.e. a net of 1,000 per month, so first year you get nothing (to compensate the down payment) and for the remaining 29 years it makes US$ 377,000 (29x(20,000-7,000).

With your formula, it is 30x10,000=300,000.

But - IF the rents ar going to increase in these 30 years - the difference will soon become huge.
Yeah.. probably not. I never even travelled via plane.

They are less common, but in general doing big projects in C as opposed to C++ is less common, at least in my experience (note though that it might be my bias on working with games and desktop software).

C doesn't allow for much overengineering and most C projects tend to be simple (well, they tend to be libraries that do mostly one thing) but if someone really wants to overengineer a C project they can put the worst C++ architecture astronauts to shame since as C doesn't allow for much by itself they need to work outside of it (hence generators) and there are no limits to what you can do outside of C.

Ha. I know that shop that played themselves into a corner many years ago by “customizing” their Doctrine installation, thereby cutting themselves off of any future upstream updates and upgrades. If they were to get up-to-date now, they would have to rewrite their entire stack, including their magic Doctrine queries. They did hire one(!) Java developer to rebuild most of it in Java, but as usual in such cases, nobody has the time to explain to him how the old tangled mess actually works.

I think your observation is not so much one of politics permeating all aspects as it is that our current culture is superficially tribalistic in nature, with many tribal signifiers being used.
It's not just relative to the team, it's relative to the industry median.

As someone on work visa myself it is very clear to me that I have the visa to do a specific job at a specific company. I know I may have to leave at anytime. I also know that there is a path to GC, but it is a bonus and not a certainty. Any intelligent person should understand that.

Now I am not from India or China, but it still takes years to get a GC.

And yes in those years I may like it here very much and start building a life.

But if I do, I accept the responsibility that one day it may all be taken away from me, and I will not be pretending to be a victim. So if you started your life here 5, 10, 15 years ago, you knew full well what you were doing, you were a grown adult with at least a bachelors degree. So just stop being a victim.

Is the system broken? Yes. Do we as immigrants understand that? Yes. Can we do anything about it? No, this is America, and Americans will or will not fix it.
Besides the "doesn't bother updating the passwords" point, this sort of "it's old so let's change it" attitude is unfortunately so pervasive in the software industry and I find it massively irritating because it's the same reason why a lot of software has gotten increasingly unstable over time. Instead of making only fixes and bringing a platform towards maturity they do the exact opposite, adding plenty of new bugs and breaking changes.

Keep in mind that the majority of people who need PHP (and technology in general...) have far more important things to do with their time than incessant trendchasing.

The saying about "known unknowns" and "unknown unknowns" is worth remembering too. The fact that a system has stayed working for over a decade should be enough to tell you that its creators did something right.

Samba versus SMB: Adversarial interoperability is judo for network effects
I believe I am an optimist. Last several months made me a realist.

Toned down my habit of almost compulsorily seeing the good in people. I am less trusting of new people now. Made me more aware of my own characteristics that I had not given much thought to. My patience levels have gone down the drain, compassion out the window and I have more of a GTFO attitude for anything that, in my opinion, is bullshit.

Several traits have changed. I don’t like some of the changes that I see in myself - but I suppose that happens when someone slowly shreds your life and emotional and mental well-being over several months.

The lowest point in my life was probably over last few months. Most of what I built over last 5-6 years is gone, but that’s okay.

I am at peace, with occasional bouts of depression over past events. Perhaps I will be able to learn my lessons and avoid making the same personal mistakes in the future.

I am rebuilding. Let’s see how that goes. Hope I see this question next year. :)

Learning information like this finally led me to take responsibility for my actions that affected others. I challenged myself to go one year without flying. Like everyone, I have family all over and earning money meant flying. Now I'm in year 4 and it's one of the best choices I've made.

After a few months of transition, figuring out how to resolve the challenges, I changed from expecting to be on a flight on day 366 to going for another year, no longer out of obligation but because of the increased role of community, greater adventure, discovery, and all the values I attributed to flying but that I could create more when challenged on my own.

I don't think that flying is bad. I love traveling. But the headlines on climate are irrefutable and I refuse to claim I'm not responsible for my choices that hurt others, especially for my recreation. Planes aren't going to fly anyway. They respond to people paying. One plane may bring me to my relatives, but flying in general disperses them in the first place, leading to less time with them. At some point I had to rip off the band aid and switch from accommodating a lifestyle of scattered community with rare actual eye contact, hugs, and touch to getting closer to the people close to me.

Among other transitions, last summer I learned to sail to get off North America. I've taken the train across the country and back. I've met as diverse people and done as adventurous things. I used to say I expect to fly some day again, but the longer I don't fly, the less I expect to. Who knows?

People always ask my distribution of family and sources of income. I had to solve my problems for my life but your life is different so my solutions won't apply. The only meaningful answers I can give to something I think you can only learn experientially is that you can do it too and if you do, the reasons for not flying will override the reasons to fly. You'll be glad you did. I don't know if this will make sense or resonate, but the longer I go without flying the more people talking about flying sounds like people talking about heroin.

I wrote a piece in Inc at the end of the first year, which I think captured some of the joy to that point, but I've discovered and created more since then https://www.inc.com/joshua-spodek/365-days-without-flying.ht....
The few really rich people I have known think about making and keeping money all the time, to a far greater extent than ordinary people. (This may not be a representative sample of all super-rich people of course). I worked with one who promised a generous share of the company, and then when I fell from favour spent all his efforts on taking it back. And succeeded - the painful lesson I learned from that at age 24 was always read every line of the contract you're signing.
The co2 numbers don't seem to take radiative forcing [1] into account, so the actual total climate impact would be 2-4 times the numbers mentioned in the article.

The US is optimized for corporations. It’s not news that while company profits are at all time highs, individual income has stayed stagnant. Family growth won’t happen without societal factors reinforcing families.

The US just went through the Great Recession. It took a world war and a national initiative pro-household building to birth the baby boomers after the Great Depression. There’s been nothing like that following the GR.

Meanwhile, many factors are against family building:

Income being stagnant to negative.

Record setting real estate prices. Tract housing projects provided affordable housing after WW2.

Poor job prospects - people were getting CAREERS after WW2. Complete with PENSIONS. People in 2019 are lucky to have full time work with health insurance and benefits. Pensions are unheard of outside of select few positions.

Carbon level increases tend toward more violence.

Warming climates tend toward societies that are more hostile, less expansive.

There are other factors, but I’ll stop there.
The spirit of this is in the right direction but the details are in the implementation. I’ve seen this sort of thing backfire big time as it basically encourages cliques of people that “like” each other and then shun others.

If not done properly the whole company starts to feel like high school politics all over again as it loses track of what it’s actually accomplishing or not accomplishing and focuses too much on poorly implemented soft metrics. I’ve seen excellent managers that drive high performing teams get dinged by under-performers on those teams who say said manager is hard to work with. Sure they’d be much happier with a manager that let them slack off but that’s not going to help the company.

It does. Which is why PGP has no forward secrecy and if I steal your key I can decrypt all your past and future mails.

The perfect forward secrecy here seems to involve deleting a "persona". I an not sure how that is any different from doing PFS by deleting a PGP subkey. Like with PGP if you do this you lose email archived under that persona. There is no automation to re-encrypt the archive with a different key.

So I am not really sure if this has a killer feature that would make anyone want to go to the bother of abandoning PGP...
It might have been something like 100 years since Notre Dame's last major reconstruction; it isn't completely beyond the realm of possibility that nobody remembers how to build a French Gothic cathedral.

It is all very well to impugn the rich, but if literally none of them have offered up a single cent there probably is a reason. Given the sums involved, it would be irresponsible to just heap money on someone who didn't have a plan or specific request for what the money was going to be for. 'Rebuilding' is a very general term that doesn't cover any of the who/what/why/how-s of project management.

And the idea that the donors want some sort of creative influence isn't as bad as it sounds. I'm put vaguely in mind of the Eiffel tower when it was opposed as the "useless and monstrous Eiffel Tower" by artists of the time. Great works create their own dignity after the fact.

Like many other things (search engine rankings come to mind), quality decreases as everybody figures out how to game the system to extract maximum profit for minimum effort. The rise of "superhosts" who manage dozens of properties from afar, using keypad locks to avoid any human interaction and contracting out cleaning to the lowest bidder, has undoubtedly been bad for the AirBnB experience. Yet AirBnB not only tolerates but actually celebrates them.

I believe that if the social currency is interactions instead of specifically positive interactions, as well as with the shift from "dislike" to "disagree" (something less associated with negative emotions) this would discourage engaging at all with strongly offensive content, effectively just starving it of attention.

Of course this is just a theory; until someone implements it and evaluates the result, I may well be completely wrong and maybe it'd even have the oposite effect.

People are often angry with each other and eager to hurt each other in any legal way available. (Ask your friendly neighborhood divorce lawyer for their stories.)

That seems like a purposeful omission of the "average" level; this makes average performance fall on either "off" or "great" end, depending on essentially non-tracked, political considerations.

Not an improvement, IMO, and it also feels infantilizing. So Atlassian determined their workers are not adults but little children, who can't handle knowing whether their performance was better or worse than expected and how much, so instead they get gamified with a kindergarten-named, 1.3-bit scale?
