The families should not have been separated but how else is the US supposed to handle a surge of asylum seekers? The camps seem lightweight and able to grow or shrink as needed.

I might even agree with just allowing them all in to wait for asylum, it's the US' failure to accommodate afterall.
Ain't a party unless it's approved by the Communist Party.
+1, well said! Diversity, having individual countries do their own thing and embrace their own ethnicity, and where it makes sense support free trade.

Sometimes in conversation I hear people talk about how we have to save the world, interfere with other countries, etc. I think this should never be done unilaterally. If something really bad and evil is going on in the world then many countries should agree and cooperate to try to fix things.

The trouble with unilateral intervention is that it can so easily devolve into just serving the needs of special interests.
I don’t think you read the post properly : all those popups appeared after an OS migration. I don’t see why upgrading the OS would need you to reauthorize apps, and even parts of the OS like icloud shouldn’t require you to relog (unless the security mechanism of icloud itself has been upgraded to a new system with no migration possible of the credentials).
> Censorship can also describe private actions such as Twitter/Facebook refusing some ideas,

That's only true in the vernacular. True "censorship" is only relevant to government suppression. Individuals or private corporations are under no legal obligation to allow certain ideas/topics.

*That is to say, I could perfectly well create some new social network messaging app that specifically does not allow any posts about honeybees, screwdrivers, or Turkey. The government could not prohibit those topics.
Can you point out some of the ways it was anti-worker? Genuine question btw
I also consider these posts somewhat alarmist, but just because it is represented as a list of numbers doesn't mean it can't be a serious threat to humanity.
Emerging properties is a thing - I mean if you put it that way, insert any tyrant here was just a bunch of atoms, or just a particular organisation of cells, yet they were this and that gruesome.

Why do you think that in our insanely interconnected world, where basically everything is either based on or controlled by informatics (numbers if you like) that a program could not pose a threat?
Specifically, Florida Republicans.
If you think of $30k as the cap of the "free tier" it seems more generous.
It is part of our moral duty to punish a company for ignoring public good rather than excuse it as what a company must do. That's because if a company is punished financially (say by boycott) for making immoral decisions then they must follow a more moral course to maximize their profit.

Personally I don't think this is enough especially as companies become more pervasive and the confusion of subsidiaries which make it next to impossible to boycott the largest offenders, but that is fixed in the political sphere rather than the economic one.

I'd even expect the 'correct' long term 'required' choice for blizzard is to ignore any blow back and focus on the Chinese market. Still in this case shareholder focus being all about current quarter profits might help as company leadership might be more focused on keeping the shareholders happy than serving long term profit.
YES! The number of times I was almost hit by gas motor-scooters in the lane during traffic (while commuting with an electric scooter) was insane. I was mostly surprised by how slow most people ride their bikes. A meager 17mph even downhill on a dinky electric scooter is faster than most people ride their bikes, joggers also like to run in the bike lane at times...
This is unintentionally the clearest demonstration of the clash of cultural values in the whole thread.

Between harmony and human rights, it's absolutely clear to a westerner which one is more important.

From your tone, it is also absolutely clear which one you would choose.

> If anything I said is untrue, please correct me

It's possible to only say true things and still be biased. This is probably the most common way of spinning a story for "fake news". Some major events I would definitely include are:

- The 2015 Causeway bay disappearances which justified the fear of extradition: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causeway_Bay_Books_disappearan...

- Carrie Lam doesn't actually have autonomy and needs confirmation from beijing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IOft2Y6mH_g

- Escalation of force, hiring triads to attack citizens, blinding journalist with rubber bullets, shooting live ammo at students in the chest, etc etc.

There are a lot more I can add but halfway through I realize the details don't really matter. The difference in cultural values will make the interpretation of these events irreconcilable anyway.

To an individualist, the only fact that matters is that at least 2 million in a city of 8 million want the right to their own destiny. To a collectivist, the only fact that matters is that the government is building a more harmonious society so the ends justify any means.

This article is confusing me, are conservatives and neoliberals the same?
The benefit of billionaires existing is that they made extraordinarily valuable businesses. Take Steve Jobs or Bill Gates - if they didn’t exist then Apple and Microsoft wouldn’t either. If Notch didn’t exist then neither would Minecraft.

If you create something (a company, a video game, other IP), and people value that thing at a billion dollars, then you’re a billionaire. Notch became a billionaire after selling Minecraft because almost 100 million people play it.

What do you expect should happen if someone creates a thing of value worth a billion dollars? Do you not want these things to be created? Do you not want them to be sold? (Ownership has to change hands eventually; people don’t live forever). How are you expecting society would work?

Reaping what you sow provides the incentive to work hard in our society. Related: http://www.paulgraham.com/ineq.html

False positives on our RASP module are very rare. Most of our customers use it in blocking mode in production.
How we do it? By using the application context. Our detection is done in-app. It's based on parsers that tokenize the query and detect injections when the user input changes the structure of the query.
More details on our detection rules [1] and more details on how we do dynamic instrumentation [2]

2) It’s on the cloud [AWS]. But our agent doesn’t redirect your traffic or collect sensitive data. We scrub the data inside your agent before sending it to our servers (just like Sentry or New Relic). You can also customize this behavior. [3]

At a guess? That this was the way they interpreted the world so they'd read it much as we'd read a science book (those that were literate) - why do you assume it was fringe?

It's easy to forget how different things were. Mathematics was considered a branch of magic, possibly even by newton, and there's evidence that the romans equated magic with mathematics (I have looked before but can't find my original ref, sorry).

Astronomy grew out of astrology. Chemistry grew out of alchemy. It was thought mice were produced abiogenically from the decay of grain - literally rotting grain produced mice (found a ref, gives quite a bit of detail: https://www2.nau.edu/gaud/bio301/content/spngen.htm)

IIRC a cart ran out of control and killed someone. The cart was put on trial, found guilty and hung (edit: for murder). I think that was some medieval times. It's easy to assume one's own worldview is, was, and always will be. That's why I find some history so fascinating.

I agree with your statement, but I would change it to the right team. Even great places have teams that aren't high performing, and landing on one of those can hinder your learnings/career.
This is something I've seen very few people actually remark on or take into consideration: the people who wouldn't have come to the election polls in the first race certainly won't be responding to the straw polls being conducted now and the models can't really reflect that. Or at least they don't currently seem to.

Odd. I never had a public API go bad on macOS, ever. There were always multi-year planned deprecations etc but no sudden changes. The only issue I remember had to do with a toolbox issue before my time where timing wasn't always reliable to be sub-ms precise. Even 68k to PPC transition went fine API-wise, as well as toolbox to carbon.

Perhaps you are exclusively referring to mobile 'apps' and the APIs you can use for those?
I just want to follow this up with a rather sad and disturbing metric[1] from the EPA regarding this superfund site in Rancho Cordova:

"...groundwater extraction and treatment systems (GETs) are operating throughout the site: ARGET, GET A, GET B, GET D, GET E/F, GET H-A, GET J, GET K-A, GET L-A and GET L-B. Together, they remove over 20 million gallons of contaminated groundwater each day on average. Through the end of 2010, all groundwater extraction and treatment systems in OU-3 and OU-5 have treated a cumulative total of 107,000 million gallons of groundwater and removed more than 850,000 pounds of chemical contaminants. Western"

Just think about that. 850,000 pounds of chemical contaminates removed from the DRINKING WATER of surrounding communities. If you ask me, pollution on this level should be criminal. It's projected to take 200+ years to fully cleanup. Where's the concern over public health? Barely being discussed.

I've heard some people say that it's "all cleaned up" and "the water is totally safe". I'm skeptical. Sure, those systems are in place, and designed to extract known chemicals... But:

a) What's the error rate? Surely, some is let through.

b) What about the unknown chemicals? What in that froth of contaminated soil has yet to be identified as carcinogenic, neurotoxic, etc.? Surely some of that isn't targeted for removal in the filtration process?

...

Some whom I've spoken with doubt that industrial pollutants are the cause of the strange rise in auto immune disorders in the community. They generally seem pretty averse to the idea that a corporation could damage the environment in such a way. It's a weird "us and them" way of thinking... Any discussion of ecological damage is written off in their minds as a necessary evil for progress. I come from a background steeped in respect for science, engineering, and business yet I don't share that view.

I recommend "The Devil We Know" if you're skeptical about industrial pollutants [2].

Back in I think 2011, Pakistan threw up their hands and gave up censoring the Internet, because trolls has so inundated popular websites with banned memes. This was during a conference where the prime minister was trying to lure investors and show how modern Pakistan was, while all of YouTube and Twitter had just been blocked.

Censorship is an up hill battle. It is way easier to defy them than it is for them to block us.
I don’t think that’s intentional though. Otherwise a proper way would simply be to prompt the user with something like « you’ve just upgraded your system, would you like to take this as an opportunity to reevaluate all your applications access rights ? ».

> I might even agree with just allowing them all in to wait for asylum, it's the US' failure to accommodate afterall.

If they were willing to risk abandoning their homes/community and cross a border illegally they'll most likely risk disappearing if their asylum application gets denied. That's a big risk.

Much like prisons they should be well funded and treated with respect and dignity, which is the treatment we would expect for our citizens if they were temporarily imprisoned in any country.
Right. I doubt it's actually true. An newer vehicle may get ~25% better efficiency and so a factor of 1.25 lower carbon emissions, but an electric car (which may only have a 20% price premium, if that) in a state like California (which has the most EVs) has a factor of 5 lower carbon emissions.

You know the article addresses this exact problem? It links to another article focused on this problem, which suggests reducing the saturation of images: https://medium.com/dev-channel/re-colorization-for-dark-mode...

(It doesn't seem to have occurred to that author to try reducing the brightness of the images, or reducing saturation with the saturate() instead of grayscale(), but those also seem worth trying, brightness in particular.)

Apple's Smart Invert is even simpler, it just leaves media like images and video as-is, only inverting colors of other things.

I suppose for diagrams that you know are black-on-white, inversion is nice, but it should be opt-in.

It's true that no one does 8 hours of coding. And you're the the last 8 marginal hours of development aren't as personally productive as the average hour. But personal productivity isn't organization productivity.

It's expensive to hire someone, its expensive to manage someone, it's expensive to keep someone informed about a project through meetings/documentation etc, it's expensive to rent office space for someone, it's expensive to have to hire more people to get the same productivity.

And all of these expenses are weighed against the reduced productivity of those extra two hours, and at 99% of companies they've decided it's better to hire for 40 hours.
On the hardware side: keyboard, touchbar, touchpad to keyboard ratio.

On the software side: slowness but more importantly a general decrease of opinionated cohesion, and an increase in odd UX decisions. Facetime calls to my iPhone trigger alerts on all of my devices, even if I'd prefer it to just be my phone (I rarely use Facetime on my machine). Beyond that, there are too many useless popups that interrupt me in what I'm doing that I have to X out of that I end up with a screen that looks like the topic post -- hence the pejorative "10.15 Vista" which is how a lot of folks about Windows Vista when it was released after the relatively sleek and polished UX of Windows 2000 and XP.

If you don't live in a Republican majority state, then you might not appreciate the lengths they are will to go through at a bureaucratic level to prevent non Republicans from voting and to otherwise minimize their political power. You almost want to admire how clever and dedicated they are to it: gerrymandering, removing classes of people from ballot roles, inconvenience tactics of minimizing voting machines/locations for non-R precincts, minimizing early voting and vote by mail (or defunding them), physical intimidation at precincts, and maneuvers like the subject of this article.

You can look at the members of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidential_Advisory_Commissi... (Hans van Spakovsky, Chris Kobach) and see the impressive and coordinated job they are doing at nationalizing the effort.

They have an incredible pipeline to create "movement" attorneys and advancing them into the judicial system with the ADF, programs like the Blackstone legal fellowship, and the relatively recently accredited Liberty U law school as a feeder. They don't draw a ton of attention to themselves, but let's just say... hopefully you are Christian, white, heterosexual, and don't want/need contraception. They essentially have already won, the precedent is just working its way through the judiciary.

> Yeah, they got sued because blind people allegedly can't use their website. Language has nothing to do with it.

The person I was originally responding to was arguing that blind people could simply order on the phone and that was an acceptable substitute for the lack of web accessibility. I was pointing out the reasons that it's not as good. Language absolutely is pertinent here.

> That's all true, but I feel like there's a missing "Therefore..." at the end.

Therefore websites should be accessible. Phone ordering isn't a good enough substitute in these other situations and the blind are placed at a disadvantage compared to the sighted.
I'm really not a big fan of this kind of moral relativism. The US (though Donald Trump seems to want to) does not "blacklist" or "censor" to silence political dissent. China does and always has, heavily, to the point of nonsense.
You're racist for thinking that the word "black" used to refer to something as bad is at all related to dark skinned people.
It's not really correct to say China is a communist country.

Under Deng Xiaoping, China gradually undid the economic structures that define communism and moved to a market-driven economy. Today it is essentially a free market economy with maybe a little more government intervention than most other free market economies. China is communist in name only.
