No, it's not a thing. Generally speaking, the president can't do much here besides ask companies to do this. There might be some ways he could force companies to no longer do business with China, like declare sanctions against China, but they would be on shaky legal grounds. And by shaky legal grounds, I mean guaranteed to be challenged in court and go all the way to the Supreme Court.
You're right. We'll write that down for our next update.

It's not just the headline. As far as I understand, Trump said what I quoted.
NFL players aren't protesting the actions of the NFL.

Oh yes, they absolutely are.

Miami Dolphin's player Kenny Stills directly protested his team owner's involvement and affiliation with a charity donating funds to the Trump administration.

This seems to have had some result: https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/barry-j...

Oakland Raider's player Antonio Brown is directly protesting recent changes to the NFL's helmet guideline policies.

https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/antonio-brown-reacts-afte...

Seattle Seahawks player Earl Thomas, in addition to protesting criminal justice inequalities, directly protested his team and how the league was, at the time, addressing and handling player safety, right before he himself got injured and gave his coach the finger while being carted off the field. He has since been traded.

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/oct/01/earl-thomas-mi...

Players are absolutely protesting the actions of the NFL in some degree or another. To say otherwise is, I'm sorry, to be ignorant of the issues.
China is perhaps the only other country in the world as impervious to foreign influence as the U.S.; and with citizens as oblivious to the outside world.

Of course, neither are completely impervious. And the citizens aren't completely oblivious. But from everything I've read about China and the Chinese, including little things like how Chinese tourists and visitors behave in foreign countries, the similarities are striking. And of course they have an obvious common source--both countries don't really need to care much about the outside world because of their size and power, and culturally they were historically inward looking even before they rose to global powers.

I'm sorry for all of your losses and I agree, they're hurting themselves and others. So let's treat them like humans who need connection & acceptance & healing, instead of animals who need caging, as well as offer healing and protection to those close to them.

Compassion and pity are NOT the same thing. The former is about providing mutual aid and solidarity, the latter is enabling, codependent, and charitable.
Give me a joke and I'll point out the politics inherent in it.
Good neighbors don't act the way junkies act. Good neighbors respect boundaries. Good neighbors don’t: break in cars, break in garages, steal bicycles, threaten customers and staff at restaurants, nod out in the middle if the sidewalk, chase after women waving their dicks, move to your fair city to take advantage of your compassion, etc. (Actual events from this week)
Not sure why this is getting downvoted. It was only the other day that Trump was referring to himself as “the chosen one”.
Manufacture your own victory if you wish. No better way than to nitpick an estimated figure in a quip, which incidentally is a correct one. I could suggest your next move: claim that I didn't mean spending over decades and imply I meant all in one day.

Britain, the U.S., a selection of European countries, Russia , Israel and allies have fucked the world for the benefits of their elites. But, please, another anecdote about how people don't flee the USA (despite the glaringly obvious ramifications of wealth distribution on infrastructure). I conjecture that your inability to fathom my point is not my problem.
He shouldn't have, the minimum period is usually a year. This is one area of the uniform code[1] that states often modify, so it varies as to length. Some are only 90 days, etc.

This is also not as well known by consumers as it should be, and obviously, businesses sometimes try to claim otherwise (IE say you have to deal with the manufacturer)

But, the law is incredibly consistent about this if you take someone to court.

[1] In the US, there is a non-partisan uniform law commission that publishes model laws for states to adopt in various important areas. The main goal is to keep the law of each state similar in areas where that similarity is important to being able to do business across multiple states.

Outside of business, they sometimes tackle complex jurisdictional efforts where states would otherwise fight with each other based on their local social/public policy. An example would be the uniform child abduction act, which ensures if a parent who does not have sole custody takes a child across state lines, you don't get into a big fight over where the child should be based on social issues that differ between states.

Not all states sign everything, but they get very good uptake on most laws.

It is not a thing. The president doesn't have the authority to do this. There were some major lawsuits about this issue I believe around WWII relating to the redirection of certain industries to serve the war effort. If I recall correctly, the result was that the executive branch has basically no authority to do this barring something like a state of emergency.

Anyone who knows more than me feel free to chime in!

Rather than use a browser plugin, I'd prefer that Youtubers use the built-in metadata tool to mark their video as "paid promotion": https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/154235

Which line were you on? I take a bus to work every day in Chicago, and I've felt unsafe maybe once or twice. Definitely felt way less safe walking through downtown SF with the homeless population heckling me for my soda.

Chicago's public transit ranks much, much higher than SF's. The fact that you compared it to London shows just how conceited you are.
There are probably a few ways the president could do it unilaterally, legally:

1) Raise tariffs to absurd levels (like, 10000% tax on anything from China).

2) Some sort of national defense justification. He could probably put all employees, companies, and executives on terrorism or customs watch lists and make life difficult for them.

3) Use existing sanctions on other nations as a way to forbid doing business with various entities in China.

There's probably also another way to do it that would, presumably, be illegal:

4) Unilaterally blockade the nation, since he's chief of the armed forces (this is an act of war).
I'd be curious if you were commercially successful.

The shift from IE to chrome was told by user agent strings. Almost EVERY web developer was tracking this and figuring out what features would work reasonably and what would not during this shift for the websites they maintained. In other words, what parts of the standard HTML were widely supported among users visiting their sites.

If you worked internationally you'll know that this was very different on a country by country basis.

Surprised to hear the claims that only a few do this. It is CRITICAL to developing useful websites -> you need to know what version of HTML to target at a minimum. Screen size, mobile vs desktop all also matter.

I'm now realizing why some web devs can charge so much - they might use these tools -> while others don't?
I'm not excusing Brasil (I don't come from there), my main point was that it's just not Brasil's "fault" for not taking care of the forest, a lot of countries have a ton of responsibility: China and the west for example.

If anything, these type of articles come at a suspicious time so close to the signing of the Mercosur trade deal, because yes the forest is burning but according to Nasa not more and not less than in other years.

Which is bad and should be stopped, but why are we talking about it so much now? It reeks of political manipulation.

I don't like that at all but well if it forces some sort of immediate action and concession from Brasil it's better than nothing, but it does not tackle the underlying issues.

If people want to do something about it, the most important thing is to stop eating the main end product of the Amazonia burning which is meat.

Not necessarily only from Brasil, because they export the crops for cattle feed globally. I'm talking about meat in general.
> being LGBTQ is a political act

Clearly that’s not the case, unless you make it your mission to make it so.

> How does one avoid politics when calling someone 'he' or 'she' (either way) is a political act?

If you allow this to be a treated as a political act which can only 1. be applied by someone who wants to exercise power over others, and 2. Can be used by former group to claim discrimination universally...

Clearly politics is not banned, only certain kinds of politics is. The other kind is being enforced hard.

Don’t accept the double-speak.
It carries the exact same amount of legal weight as me ordering Trump to vacate the presidency immediately.

It's an excuse to over-engineer. OOP encourages developers to over-think object hierarchies and build baroque code that is prematurely generalized.

There is nothing intrinsically wrong with OOP and it maps well to certain problem domains. The problem is the tendency of sophomore programmers to over-engineer everything.
That's just objectively wrong. NYC has a higher homeless population both in sheer volume and per 100,000 people. So what is NYC doing to stop the growth of their homeless population beyond making it out of sight and out of mind?

Nothing works. I promise. I’ve even used these extremely high end scanners like the creaform ones and they suck.

Here’s how I get _good_ results on complex objects. Use agisoft photoscan, a cheap SLR and a stepper motor controlled turntable. You need to put all this in a photo tent and light it as flatly as possible. Then, you need to do surface prep. Spray your object with magnaflux spotchek. This is a white powder in acetone which will go down on the surface and make it temporarily matte. It wipes off when done.

When you’re done, process the images, process the mesh, and pull it into Rhino to repair it. If you’re modeling for a functional replacement, pull out your calipers and take measurements and use your 3D scan essentially to pick off profiles that you can loft to remodel the final object.

This shit is really hard.

I'm from Brazil.

For the rest of HN which might not know: the president has long dismissed environmental issues as idle "communist" talk (in his own words: "Construction projects get delayed because someone finds a petrified poo of an indigenous person"[1].

His Minister of the Environment, Ricardo Salles, has a history[2] of environment-related crimes. He is basically a lobbyist for mining and logging corporations.

The Amazon fires are just the most jarring example of how the administration doesn't care about the environment, but they are far from the only or even the greatest environmental issue right now in Brazil.

"Sounds like China to me."

Sounds like the diametric opposite of China to me. China is actively injecting politics into every aspect of life through, for example, Social Credit[1], which is merely a more systematized method of political control than what has been employed since the communist revolution. Millions of "discredited entities" are being denied the ability to travel, for instance.

> QT running its own custom-drawn UI, both different from whatever platform-blessed UI toolkit is, no, QT is not "native"

Most Qt Apps are still using the widget layout in pure C++ ( from the stats of the Qt company itself ) and do not contains a single line of JS or interpreted language.

Then yes Qt is native and Electron is not.
Fingerprinting requires sending information back to the mothership. If we got javascript that was sandboxed from making web requests, then it could have access to whatever private data it wanted without entailing a privacy risk.
Maybe, but if you loudly espouse progressive values as Googlers seem to do more than most tech workers, maybe you should put some of those values into practice, and actually make a real effort to integrate those contractors into the group?

I think people are too quick to forget the importance of funding and the impact it has. For example, if a study comes out that A suffers from f, but no study exists that says B suffers from f, is that because there was a study that didn't find it or because there has not been such a study, perhaps due to lack of funding. This then has an impact on actual law when attempting to base law on science (should we set aside funding to help A but not B with f?).

With math in particular, the way statistics are used to represent and draw conclusions from data can be highly political, especially when dealing with a very unpopular study and the level of criticism it receives compared to a popular study.
One reason this isn't visible could be due to the fact that there are two checkboxes. One just says that it includes it, and the other says to display it. The YouTube console tells you that you don't have to display it if you mention it in the video.

Hampering is sufficient. Forcing them to rebuild newspapers and reform their membership over and over again means they are spending less time recruiting members.

In the most extreme cases: killing works too. Bin Laden / Anwar Al-Awlaki. Both were more "inspirational" figures than actual day-to-day management, but their ability to spread and inspire others was still better than the typical ISIS / Al Qaeda member.

Destroying the mouthpiece works. Full on killing / murder is only condoned in war-like situations, but there are "softer powers" like knocking websites offline. Sure, they are tenacious and spring up again (and will continue to do so unless we actually kill them), but every hour those websites are down is another hour where they fail to recruit members into their philosophy.

Considering that we refuse to utilize the ultimate solution (assassination / killing) vs these people, the best we can hope for is to just inconvenience them over-and-over again. Its just like banning troll accounts at a highly-moderated forum. The trolls inevitably pickup a new VPN and get to post again for a few hours. The idea isn't to stop the troll from talking, its to hamper the troll from talking.

> They'll still be talking to others, you fundamentally cannot stop that. The only difference is that we are depriving ourselves of the chance to challenge them on their bigoted and hateful beliefs.

Nah, we can totally do that. You and I can talk about white-nationalism right now. Do you believe that white people are "being replaced" by immigrants? And if so, do you think its a long-term negative for this country?

Bam. Now we can talk about the subject. And I trust you (and most random strangers) to have decent opinions on the subject. The issue is that a large group of white-nationalists are working to recruit young people into their hateful philosophy, and to grow their base. And this growth includes violent action (with them cheering the actions of El Paso shooter + New Zealand's shooter).

I'm not against intelligent discussion of these subjects. I'm against the recruitment and growth of power of hate-groups.

Hey man I done something similar a while back but kind of lost interest. That being said I can probably share some details as to things you've missed or how to implement various parts. Will have a look when I get home but ping me if I don't

Storybook: http://packard-belle.herokuapp.com

Implementation example: http://packard-belle.netlify.com
A) ghettoization in the form you describe is a zoning problem. Mixed-rate zoning is a thing, even in major cities in the US, and there's no reason social housing needs to be geographically isolated from market rate housing. As you point out, that's really unhealthy. I submit that the US has just implemented public housing extremely poorly, especially on the federal level, and Section 8 vouchers are going to be a much larger bill to pay to the American taxpayer than simply building public housing to begin with.

B) From a healthcare perspective, both housing and rehabilitation are necessary for the person to be able to function stably. I would argue that this type of housing as well as drug decriminalization is necessary to treat the underlying poverty (and resulting crime).

EDIT: wording.
The point is that there is no license under which you can lawfully redistribute Microsoft’s copyrighted icons. And given GitHub’s current ownership, they might not be able to ignore the violation for very long.

No even close. It's basically on the gulf coast and for the hot half of the year at least very humid.

Also, barely above sealevel, so lots of techniques don't work.

Bolsonaro has clearly encouraged deforestation. No other recent Brazilian political leader been so explicit about it. He has also encouraged harassment and hate towards natives living in forested areas.

I was providing a very basic example -> and yes, useragent can still be useful. But agreed, further feature detection, which the article calls "fingerprinting" is needed if you implement anything beyond the most basic patterns. But even basic patterns are helped by some minimal detection. Text only / braille readers etc can be targeted nicely as an example.
It's also the matter of convenience / personal life impact - Amazon is ingrained in many people's weekly routine at this point. It's not that people genuinely don't care about an article like this, they just don't care enough to justify negatively impacting their life. Dale Carnegie on the concerns of the individual:

"A person’s toothache means more to that person than a famine in China which kills a million people. A boil on one’s neck interests one more than forty earthquakes in Africa."
That isn't the heart of the issue. The issue is US products being produced in China and sold in the US. We import > 500 billion from China and export under 130 billion to China.

Disclaimer: my comment below is directed at the culture of Google, and following in the train of thought from your comment. It's not directed at your comment or you.

Reading this comment just makes me feel baffled. How much arrogance does it take for a bunch of Googlers to assume the belief that they know what is "just" for the rest of the world?

An organization(in this case, a for-profit company) created to deliver products and services to consumers and advertisers playing politics on the world stage is laughable at best, and downright irresponsible at worst. There's no framework established within the confines of a corporation to deal with any of these sorts of social problems, and it shouldn't.

Play the right part, do the right job, and let others with the right skills and tools do the same.
Seattle spreads the housing projects around the city. In fact they just opened one in the South Lake Union area last year (just behind the Neptune apartments). They replaced a parking lot with something like 10-15 sheds for housing. They are in the 100-150 sq ft range, have electricity and a shared bathroom(s). I'm a touch fuzzy on the particulars because they also erect a very tall privacy fence around the whole thing, which feels like a good idea if for no other reason than a touch of privacy for its residents.
The API is open and database is downloadable, so feel free to try making something.
