"Ethnicity" is more similar to tribal identities - there are usually ways of entering the group, which can be well- or ill-defined. See for example the traditional initiation ceremonies of many Native American tribes for non-members, or the recently-constructed avenues for Soviet-era Russian immigrants and their descendants to join the Baltic ethnicities. In the reverse direction, Halpulaar'en consider those who have shifted to speaking Wolof to have left the ethnic group. (Note, though, that they are usually not then considered by the Wolof to have entered their ethnic group, creating a serious social problem.)

To continue the example of Zionist ideology, even secular Zionists consider converts to be Jews, and many consider converts to non-Jewish religions to have exited the tribe. Non-Jewish immigrants and their descendants who speak Hebrew as a native language may or may not be considered members depending on the person.
If you were in Iraq, would there have been any reasonable countermeasures, accessible to the average person, that could have preserved access? Or is it limited to something like a sat phone/sat internet?
Good point. I'm being hyperbolic. But in these discussions you do have to be careful that someone hasn't annualized a 9 or 10 month salary like the article.

There’s a simple solution here that doesn’t require banning credit cards: requiring borrowers to demonstrate ability to pay before signing off on a loan. Most creditors do this, it’s usually only the ethically challenged lenders that ignore this.

The previous administration passed regulations requiring payday lenders to verify ability to pay before handing out loans, which was promptly crushed by the current admin at the request of the payday loan lobby.

Another solution is to cap the max interest rate far below current thresholds. The problem with these loans is that lenders are hoping you’ll get into debt, they’re in no way trying to create a mutually beneficial relationship with their borrowers.

I have a hard time thinking of money as personal property. It’s a social value store not a personal one. A dollar is toilet paper if enough people quit caring.

Also you seem to ignore how much protectionism the elites get, while calling Redditors out as needing protection.

The Senate itself was intended by Madison to protect the rich. So we’ve accepted protectionism from themselves is fine when “them” is a rich person.

I'm the sole developer working on my current project, which is overhauling a massive DOS era application, as well as overhauling an early 2000s era CRM/business management tool, that almost all of our work happens through.

Did I mention that the DOS application is a HIPAA billing application that must meet all HIPAA guidelines as well as write EDI X12 billing files?

I'm very junior, been coding for ~5 years, 3 professionally, but this is my first real dumpster fire. We were about to hire a second developer, but turns out he had a record. Not for just anything, which we don't really worry about, but for embezzlement on the healthcare billing application he used to own. So, no. No can do.

So now poor 18-year-old me is knee-deep in a ton of shit I don't understand, working on non-version-controlled code, having been expressly forbidden from using ANY VC by the CEO, and trying to get details out of my older supervisor who built the code we're using, but he's near retirement and has so many vacation days saved up that he spends maybe 10 days a month in the office. I honestly can't blame him, but I either need resources to help me deal with legacy code, or a nice entry-level rails job, because I want to finish learning rails.

> in which case it was evidence that administering male hormones may not produce the effect of natural ones.

The goal of trans hormone therapy is to reverse the effects of the hormones of the person's biological sex, so HRT dosage of e.g. testosterone is usually more than the average cis man would produce. It's possible that that much testosterone was too much for the person you mentioned to handle, especially for his body not being used to it, or that he just got prescribed for more than he should have taken. (He could've also gotten it from the black market, in which case it would almost definitely be an incorrect dosage.)

There is no such thing as a free lunch. Marketing trades either by Schwab or others is extremely misleading since Schwab is one of the brokers that sells your order flow.

What's better- paying $5 bucks to trade or losing a % of your total order to someone like Citadel or routed to certain exchanges at a lesser price? If your trade size is even remotely decent in size you will lose a lot more on restricted order flow.

The SEC needs to require the disclosure of this practice because most people don't realize that in exchange for "free" they are getting nuked every single transaction all the while thinking they are skirting the system.

Like the old saying - if you look around the table and wonder who the patsy is-- you're the patsy!
This is not a political post, I am merely stating the facts here and I don't take any stance on this issue.

A judge ruled that Obama had to let families go if they show up at the border and claim to be a family, because the only options were holding them in a prison cell together, or separating them like Trump does now. So a judge created the "catch and release" idea.

The problem with this, was that as soon as this happened, sex traffickers realized they could traffic children by forcing them to claim the people they were with were their family. So now, the Trump administration, unable to get the courts to do anything and forced to execute the law, wants to DNA test the children and parents to confirm they are related.
As you say, it depends on the jurisdiction.

Here (Australia) the rules define "road related areas" as including private property that does not have a "normally locked gate" protecting access.

This means all road rules (including stop signs, alcohol/drug rules, mobile phone use, and speed limits) apply in places like publicly accessible carparks on private property, and homeowner's driveways if they do not have a "normally locked gate". People have been booked for drink driving and mobile phone use sitting in their cars in their own driveways here (almost certainly after "failing the attitude test" and pissing a cop off enough for them to punitively enforce a stupid interpretation of a poorly written law, but that's a different rant...)
Good to know, thankyou. I usually only use VS on Windows for C++ with Unreal Engine, usually I'm a Linux/BSD minimalist who uses vim.

James Damore referenced scientific papers in his post and his intent got twisted, he got vilified and subsequently fired by Google. He never said women were unfit for engineering or women weren't as smart as men, he said that Google should change the nature of engineering such that the career is more appealing to a higher percentage of females.

Do you really want to be the one that endures an unfair attack and have your intent twisted and ruin your career, just to try to prove a point? You would be a stronger person than me, I would just pass at this point and move on.

The decrease in list price is to offset the decreasing tax credit.

E.g. A $60k Model 3 in 2018 with a $10k credit in MA (State + Federal) is now a $50,500 car with a $1,875 credit. (Federal and no State)

Economically speaking the tax credit was always effectively a payment from the government to Tesla. The real consumer price is basically unchanged over the last year.

I'm sure we could make the argument that "if the US doesn't invade x country then China/Russia will".

But for me, I just focus on the outcomes, not the motives. If Lockheed Martin and Booz Allen Hamilton and Raydeon shareholders are making 100k or 1m or more, and hundreds of thousands of civilians are dying, those are two cold hard facts that can't be ignored.

Either the ends justify the means or they don't, in the eyes of the beholder.

In CA, local governments can and often do pass ordinances allowing Vehicle Code enforcement on certain. Private property; this is most common on parking lots and private roads that are generally open to the public.

And law enforcement investigates and assigns fault in reports for accidents on private property even where vehicle code (other than hit and run and DUI, which IIRC apply everywhere) does not apply.
> Most content (web pages, documents, code) is longer than it is wide, so any more square ratio is going to be an improvement over these silly "movie" ratio 16:9 screens. MS's 3:2 ratio screens are an improvement, but.. we can do more!

If you're reading content that's longer than it is wide then why are you telling the browser to be full screen? Practically every desktop environment makes it easy to snap windows to half the screen, even better with a tiling WM.

Personally the only "innovation" I want is a return of the 10" form factor, they also happen to have the aspect ratios you're after.
> The initial government was pro-American, but the consequence of pushing a country to have democratic elections is that they sometimes elect people that you don't like.

I don't the right prior here is "elections = real democracy", for cases like Iraq. The US has long history of installing "democratic" governments that are not actually democratic, but rather military states who violently suppress the people, but support US interests. The list of countries where this has borne out is long, but if you are interested, an easy place to start would be Cold War era South America (Guatemala and El Salvador being two straightforward examples).
Not sure why you got voted down, the US has very poor protections for employees when a company is taken over.

You might have wanted to use "redundant" and not "fired" or "laid off" as these have quite different meanings in labour law.

> Because they represent authority and the law just like in any other country. The fact that LEOs carry guns is because they are surrounded by a lot of other individuals who are unable to take smart decisions while wielding a deadly firearm.

Even in locations where firearms are heavily restricted from the civilian populace, the police remain armed. The funny thing is that individuals wanting bodyguards hire armed bodyguards. The fact is that LEOs and private bodyguards carry guns because they are an effective method of stopping an attacker.

> Your statement is forced just to make the point. I don't think the gun control topic was ever related to law enforcement or military personnel carrying guns.

The lack of relation is purely due to the limits of your rational thinking and ability to apply logical principles.

The most recent talk by presidential candidates(even if their actual election is gratefully a longshot) has shown that to be a lie.

I am an acquired founder working in the bay area. The acquisition made me rich, I'm liquid, and I love my product and my team. Everyone did really well in the acquisition.

The acquirer means well, but as a public company there is little intellectual honesty and projects are going off the cliff while my fellow executives not sharing the truth of how bad things are going and asking for help from one another for the good of the company. I'm increasingly demotivated having to deal with lying and intellectual dishonesty at every turn.

I can quit, but then I lose out on almost a million bucks that's unvested, not much compared to what I've made so far but I'd really like to just be fired (without cause) and get to walk away and start a non-profit.

It is, unfortunately, not as simple as that. Germany, for example, has seen a bit of civil unrest because of their refugee policy. They have seen a huge rise in popularity of hard-right groups as a result. I'm not saying they shouldn't have let people in, but there are negative consequences to even altruistic humanitarian actions, and those consequences need to be weighed in the equation. It's not nearly as simple as bastard vs. not-bastard, and I wouldn't fault either Germany or any other EU country for being much less lenient in their refugee policy going forward. Though I would then instead want to see some other form of assistance. I'm not smart enough to say exactly what that other assistance should be. But there are no easy black & white answers here.
As the other poster said, I think an honest framing of just what you said is fine ("I really enjoy working here, but those other things are non starters"). If it truly was not outlined beforehand, then just point out that you feel strongly enough about the extra requirements that you would not have taken the job in the first place had it been mentioned.

Maybe they accept it, maybe it becomes a learning moment for them in the future. Either way, its unfortunate but non-starters are non-starters.
