I too am vigorously in favor of communities right to expel people. Being born to American or Saudi citizens shouldn’t give any special rights if you the community decides they’d be better off without you.

Less sarcastically we have no evidence that democracy, unrestricted immigration and welfare states are compatible. I’ll happily bite the bullet and see massive restrictions on immigrants’ and even their children’s rights to access the state’s largess as the potential welfare gains are enormous. But that’s probably among the least important and disruptive changes of open borders. The EU, Canada or the US could easily attract immigrants in similar numbers to their total current inhabitants. You think their politics could cope with that well? California can’t even force the amalgamation of the Bay Area into a single city or copy working models of dealing with the homeless. The US can’t copy international rail infrastructure. The EU can’t get it together enough to pay Erdogan his bribe to not let the Syrians into Greece and the rest of the EU. Canada barely has an internal market in goods and services. Politics doesn’t work very well as is. How will it work with a sudden huge increase in non-native non-citizen population?
Another definition of tangible is "clear and definite; real". In that sense, abstract mathematical concepts are certainly less tangible than those other two examples.

Throwing a rock into the sky isn't "doing calculus", in the same way that the first caveman to throw a rock didn't "discover calculus".

Wow, didn't know there were private prisons!
Culture isn't artificial, but lines in the sand create hard disconnects where culture is much more fluid. I'm a Seattlite, and I can tell you I feel more cultural similarity to British Columbians than I do to Texans. And people from Miami have a lot more cultural similarity to Cubans and Veneuzuelans than they do Alabamans. And Guatamalans have a ton of cultural similarity to Hondurans and Salvadorans, but northern Mexico might as well be Thailand to them. Cultures didn't define our borders, Manifest Destiny did...and cultures transcended those borders.

We have a 250 year precedent as an immigrant nation. We have always been at least somewhat tolerant of massive waves of migration, whether they were Germans, Italians, Irish, British, Chinese, etc. We have already lost any claim that our borders are lines in the sand for our socioethnic culture.

The only aspect of "American" culture that seems to be represented by our borders is a love of capitalism. And considering the fact that you can't really have capitalism with restricted trade and restricted movement of labor, it seems to me that Trump is more of a cultural invader than Salvadorans are.

Just a cleaning without x-rays? About $100-300.

Dental isn't really indicative of "how expensive health care is" though. Lots of U.S. dental and vision "insurance" plans are really just mandatory subscription plans since their bills are pretty consistent, and anything that might cost more gets you a referral to a hospital.

It's when you visit a hospital (voluntarily or via emergency ambulance) that you'll start getting the $1,000 - $100,000 bills that'll kill ya.

I don't understand why that matters. But if it does, couldn't the US implement social healthcare at the state level? Canada and California have roughly equal populations, for instance.
So if a whole car can stay hidden for 22 years, that tells me that in those 22 years, nobody swam or fished nearby. The aerial photo makes it obvious the whole subdivision is intercut with ponds that are obviously man-made, and they look stagnant, nasty & sad. Probably also full of pesticide & herbicide runoff(t). Everybody in the subdivision probably tells their kids to stay out of the ponds. "That's what the pool is for honey! Ponds are for poor people!" I wish Kate Wagner (mcmansionhell.com) was here.

That's fair. I didn't necessarily read it that way, but I think we're more or less on the same page.

> I would argue that many people oppose open borders in practice but not in theory.

I'm not sure that we will see a practical set of circumstances where people would actually be OK with open borders. People have always had some reflex against migration (for cultural reasons, as well as perhaps an instinct fear of disease) and mass migration has historically almost always led to violence.

On top of that, most developed countries have an established welfare state. Any sort of communal system needs a way to ensure that the contributions to the pooled resources is greater than the demand on those resources. If you don't have immigration control then you get a "tragedy of the commons".
> This seems like a trivial easy-PR win for some legislators

Unions are the good guys in contemporary socialist culture so I'm not sure going against them would be an easy PR win, regardless of the facts and incentives.
Definitely. Using Flow, type refinement has been one of my biggest annoyances, because the list of things the type system recognizes as such is hardcoded and can't be extended:

instanceof
typeof
Array.isArray()
== null

And if you want to refine object types it gets even worse; you have to just check for properties that may or may not be there, which means those properties have to be rigidly distinguishable between object types in a union, etc. etc. Being able to do custom, rich object validation and give it first-class hooks into the type system sounds incredible.
I asked my wife (audit, big 4, alternative investments) why there would be an amendment to an S1 and while she doesn’t deal with companies going public directly, she said that amendments are pretty common for funds that go public. The reason being is that a company can file for S1 (or Form 10) before the initial seed audit is complete and SEC or audit firm may have some additional requirements/disclosures to be added.

Canada takes in a large number of immigrants and thrives for it. Based https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_net_migra..., we take in double what the US does.
Why are nations geographical? Corporations are not bound by borders. You get benefits from your employer. You pay for insurance for the insurance benefits. If you don't work and don't pay taxes, you still get benefits from the govt just because you were born there. There's no need to earn anything.

It's all just random chance and it seems very unfair to me that being citizen of a first world nation affords you a good quality of life, while someone born somewhere else has bombs going off outside and isn't allowed to leave.

Imagine being trapped in a horrible situation with no freedom to escape.

It's not right. Nation states are anachronistic at best.
I think what you're getting at is that in the US, people have a financial incentive to be healthier due to the cost of health care.

How is that working out? Does the average American eat healthier, do more exercise, consumer fewer drinks, or do fewer drugs?
Another question as a visitor: why are American houses so shoddily built, basically wooden frames with thin wooden (or plastic sometimes?) planks for walls?
Having any STEM degree from anywhere has probably lowered your risks of a gap (or level drop) and potentially permanent drop in salary considerably, with more for it being in CS. The degree also gives you options like embedded or government positions that are pretty much unavailable without a CS (or EE) degree and have less change, making better per hour compensation if you don't like working more than 40 hours, 32 hours, 20 years for a pension?

You certainly can compete with all the people without degrees where they can make as much total compensation as someone with a degree by going with the most instable parts of the field. But that competition will sound exhausting and the level you put in will be exhausting your other options in life while still probably being less energy than the bootstrap-only graduate.
Concerned people have collectively been banging the ride-more-bicycles drum for decades. It hasn't worked.

I take notes for the purpose of translating interesting facts into quizbowl questions (a type of trivia question, see quizbowlpackets.com). For this purpose, my system of recording info is pretty simple. It's just highlighting where in the paragraph the interesting bits start. I do this with a pen for paper books/magazines and the highlight feature in Pocket for digital stuff. For audiobooks, I'd love to have the text available to directly highlight but since I usually don't, I'll try to put some approximation or exact quote into OneNote. I'll later see if I can do a Google Books search for that passage, and if not I'll see if I can get the physical book from the library or buy it if needed.

Anyway, once I have these, I periodically go back and turn these facts into questions or parts of questions. Sometimes my highlight is just for one word or idea that I want to expand. Other times there's enough content there to be a paragraph-long (or more) question on its own. Because I'm usually supplementing what I've highlighted with other information about the topic (Wikipedia, Google Books, paper encyclopedias I have, online library resources, websites), it's a slow process. But it's good for retention purposes. I save these things in OneNote and they eventually become full questions. Some right away, some from repeated versions of this process over years.

Another option for us phone-always-in-reach types is the idle/incremental games. (Not a plug, I just happen to be trying out Antimatter Dimensions for now.)

The usual setup has you co a bunch of clicking and watching whatever numbers grow, and soon enough tools to autoclick become available. I open it occasionally, see what's happened in the meantime, do a few actions, "Clear All" to empty the app list and away I go until hours/days later and I happen to think of it in slower moments.

No actual goal, just 'bigger'. Sometimes there's wired in challenges or harder achievements, sometimes not.

Often enough, I clear data and start from scratch if I feel like it.

Very calm, but feels like a game anyway.
From my understanding and per my wife, who is an audit accountant, she said that you can actually file before KPMG completed their seed audit. However, since KPMG is liable for the audit, they won’t attach their name until all of the review is complete and partner signs off.

I’m her works (alternative investments), when funds go public, amendments are commonplace because of the length and complexity of audit.

One problem is that POSIX uses null-terminated strings everywhere.
What I'm getting at, though, is that it's possible to implement it without any copies even if the memory consumption cannot be predetermined. Bypass malloc() and realloc() entirely and invoke brk() to increase the program's segment size. This grows the data segment contiguously (in virtual memory), so there will never be a need to copy the result string to a different buffer. In other words point the result pointer to the start of the heap, and never put anything else on the heap.

It's short and pretty clear. the words harm, injury, abuse etc are nowhere to be found. Google violated the law as written but the judge didn't even address that because he decided they had no right to complain in the first place.

It reminds me of the case journalists made against the US government after it came to light that they were illegally wiretapping them. The fact that the government's mass surveillance program was exposed wasn't enough for the courts who decided that because the journalists who took it to court couldn't prove that specific instances of wiretapping occurred (information they couldn't possibly have because it's secret) they had no right to sue and the fact that wiretaps were put in place without a warrant wasn't even addressed.

Renters generally understand that rent can be changed when the lease runs out and should be braced for the possibility that there will be a moderate increase. If the renter doesn't understand that, they probably haven't rented much before, and they'll learn it the first time their rent increases. If you are lucky enough to go multiple years without any adjustment, you should expect that the landlord will want to correct the differential at some point and budget accordingly.

Note this works both ways. If the market goes down, if no one wants to live there anymore, tenants have a lot of room to negotiate. Vacancies are expensive and the hassle of getting a new tenant is not something many people want to handle even in good conditions.
How would you say has that worked out?
> You sound like someone with the ability to live anywhere, who consequently has little stake in their current "somewhere."

> I have family in New England who ran an all-organic dairy farm. They had to shut down a few years ago, in part because they couldn't compete with the farms who paid undocumented workers under the table.

Others have already debunked your trafficking claim, but your anecdote about an all-organic dairy farm is particularly laughable. 'Dey took ar jerbs' has been debunked for decades now.[1]

My mom grew up on a dairy farm in New England (I'm visiting my Grandma there in a month), and I can tell you that there's plenty of reasons that most of them are closing/consolidating, and undocumented labor isn't even top-5.

> In Germany, the 2015 migrant crisis nearly brought the far-right "Alternativ für Deutschland" into power. That crisis only abated once the Balkan states took it upon themselves to secure the E.U.'s southern border.

Wait, the migrants and open borders are to blame for xenophobia?

You do well to point out that Bush supported the DREAM act and take about as wrong a lesson from that as you possibly could. The lesson is not 'give the xenophobes a compromise to get slightly-more-sane immigration policies', it's that the rise in ultra-right wing nationalism/xenophobia around the world in the last decade should be the real thing keeping people up at night, not some imagined migrant 'invasion'.

When you remove all private insurance payments for health the US still spends more than other countries. The US government pays huge amounts for healthcare for lousy outcomes.

The US government already spends at least 10k per capita on healthcare - without even having a socialized medecine. More than double that of Canada at 4.8k per capita.

The United States is not a free market healthcare system - it's literally the worst parts of both capitalist and socialized systems with none of the benefits of either.

Also: I am Canadian, I spent nearly 50% of my earned income last year on just taxes. I also live in the most expensive city in the country. 90% of my medical expenses I've had in the past 10 years came from private practices that I paid out of pocket with a smidgen of private insurance that cushioned the blow a bit. The Canadian system is nowhere near as great as ignorant Americans like to believe.

Completely agree. The problem is not that capitalism is just blanket bad, or something reductive like that, but instead: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20956786

Capitalism specifically enables a meta-game of spreading as dogma.
Slot machines, in the USA, are regulated to minimize the skinnerbox effect. So while a Slot Machine is actually the classic skinnerbox, in many ways it isn't.

At least, that's what the various casino engineers tell me.

EDIT: In particular: it costs money to pull the lever in a Slot Machine. So you have a penalty every time you pull the lever. Even with this penalty, many people pull that level compulsively, hoping for the slight chance to win.

I've seen a few different polls on the subject. From what I understand open borders has always been a minority position (even among immigrants).

> And that fear that "them getting ahead" might mean that "we will fall behind" is basically what drives the demand to "protect" our borders, even while generally people are in favor of everyone having a better life.

I think it's deeper than that. I've tried to address some of the reasons why in other comments on this thread.
The explanation I heard from a Rust core dev (explain why Rust tends to be slightly slower than C++) is the borrow checker makes programmers to use a slightly different coding style. Were C programmers tend to pass references around Rust programmers tend to take copies of to avoid the borrow checker.

Passing the smaller reference will be faster in single threaded code. In multi threaded code I'd expect making a thread local copy to be a win, and indeed multi threaded Rust programs tend to be quicker than their C/C++ counterparts.
