It's easier to win an election by pushing out voters who have high standards: "I'll vote for you if you bring me customers. I'll vote for you if you cure my cancer."

and

bring in the voters who can be bought on the cheap: "Don't arrest me. Spend money on me. Don't deport me."

That's all this is. The world is an extremely cruel competition, other people the cruelest. It doesn't matter what you do. In politics you will have opposition regardless. In debate, they often switch sides of the same issue and keep arguing. It's a fight over power, and someone else's fight, not yours. Here in the USA, a lot of the top leaders are breaking off, for all efforts forming their own autonomous nations, and leaving behind the poor and wounded who fought for them and gave them their chance.

A lot of the world is very rich, richer than the USA, using everything we invented and built only to cheer on our murder and cheat us every chance they get.

Perhaps give America something it really wants? Plenty of undergrads with degrees who are now on welfare in the USA. Plenty of knowledge which is documented and shared across the world for free and will soon be researched and automated faster than you. Create jobs. Care for the elderly. Educate inner cities. Sober people up. That's what we really need today.

Worse thing is when you try to do something good, you will be torn to pieces by horrible people, here in America included. Kindness is weakness to people living life to rape as many children as they can with suicide as their endgame. Real evil, angry at the world, seeking destruction.

Close to a hundred years now, Yamamoto warned the world not to wake a sleeping giant filled with a terrible resolve. No one does desperate fights to the death better than we do. All that righteous anger building up over generations. This time, I will kill us all. The entire planet, and make it so nothing ever lives again, the entire universe. I know how to do it. Go through life lessening enemies please, not creating them.
Hoping that some colleges pull a fast one, like having one in-person lecture a week that are widely known to be shams and not for actual attendance, perhaps a lecture about a Simpsons episode, to maintain the “in-person” eligibility while having nobody attend, and then litigate the issue in court when the government tries to call them on it.
Music curation was done by actual people before, almost every social circle had some kind of DJ or music digger providing new stuff. It's another point where technology had a negative influence on the social fabric of society.
I was always shocked at the cultural norms (ideas and behavior) manifest on Twitter and was always repeatedly laughed at (by myself, included) for being concerned about that. Twitter was no representation of real life; but then ever year I see real life (ideas and, maybe, behavior) conforming to yesteryear's Twitter. I do think a lot of things start in Twitter and move out into the mainstream; it's not a bad place to look (if you want to know see where we are headed) or it's a terrible place to look (if you care about where we are headed).
Could you clarify how her pending work authorization is connected to her ability to legally drive?
That's the way the story goes. I can't really find supporting evidence, though. When I try looking at early digital media, it seems that it was fairly common for hardware to support both 44.1kHz and 48kHz, at the very least. Stuff like DASH, ProDigi, and DAT.

I think it's more likely that 44100 was chosen for other reasons--either because it a multiple of the number of active NTSC or PAL lines per second, or because it has a convenient factorization (14x14x15x15), or both.

44.1kHz is a great sample rate for distribution. 48kHz is a little more convenient for creating sounds because it often uses less CPU power to process 48kHz signals (because the transition band is twice as large).

This ruling on international student is just plain cruel. I know how much hard work I had to put in to secure an F1 visa, and then had to invest in lease, buying a car etc. with very meager means. To come in the middle of that and tell everyone pack up and leave is just straight up evil. The next strategy will be deny visas for anyone re-applying for F-1, drastically reducing student numbers

Did it get my money across the border without requiring me to get me a master's degree in cyber security? Probably. Will I have to do this smuggling thing a bunch of times? No.

Your attitude is like lambasting someone who writes a quick and dirty python script that gets the job done because it's full of vulnerabilities
and wasn't written perfectly in Rust and doesn't scale to 10 million connections. So what.

If I had millions of dollars I was smuggling over the border maybe I'd spend hundreds of hours making sure I got the security perfect using industry standards.

Otherwise, I think just avoiding being the low hanging fruit is "good enough." And yeah, even "crank crypto" is good enough most of the time. You think someone like NSA would spend any significant amount of time/resources trying to crack through imperfect crypto schemes to get at the paltry payouts of individual fortunes?
I wonder if anyone at Google would consider having Android just switch to Flutter as their main app development platform for future versions of Android to sidestep having to pay Oracle more money going forward.

In 2014, Old South Carriage put a contemporary twist on our horse-drawn carriages. We began converting our fleet of wooden carriages to a carbon-fiber composite material similar to that used in Boeing’s 787 jetliner. Our reasoning? If it’s good enough for Boeing, it’s good enough for us! The result is a lighter weight, more durable carriage which requires much less maintenance than its wooden predecessor. With this innovation, we successfully increased the level of comfort for both our horses and passengers while preserving the look, feel, and authenticity of our original carriages.

They would, but the purchasers of such things are really different. For a drug biotech, you are trying to get to a point in trials where you are acquired by a large pharmaceutical maker, and the large pharmaceutical maker then produces it and uses their distribution network to get it into circulation.

Something like water cleaning goes through really different routes. You may be selling direct to a consumer segment, or to a contractor segment that chooses the product as part of a design for a consumer, or to a municipality or utility. Those are all really different from each other, and really different from drug development. They also tend to involve a very different skillset, much more chemical and mechanical engineering.

My modest savings and low expenditures allow me to not have to stress about a backup plan.
I agree with this 100%. US higher ed is largely funded by tax (direct and indirect). International students paying full tuition, even if true, is insignificant. I think there’s been a misguided focus on admitting international students over the past two decades. Some of the reasons behind it are valid such as diversity and globalization. However, it’s also contributed to skyrocketing tuition costs.
I'm obviously ignorant on this, but I would have expected anything short of munitions or fuel would not have caused this much damage on something as advanced as an aircraft carrier. The article mentioned that having fewer crew members made it harder to handle, but having 160 crew on board with fire and smoke detectors doesn't seem like it should have resulted in this. I hope to one day read the report on how this happened, I clearly have a lot to learn.
Lighter pistons allow the engine to rev higher. Power = Torque * revs.

At 6000rpm a typical piston has to be accelerated from zero to ~50km/h and back to zero 200 times per second. Every bit of weight saving helps.
it's an escape because you can load an arbitrary script into the command, and if the sandbox crafter didn't think to lock down `import antigravity` then you can escape the sandbox.

Ignoring the "and you are lynching Negroes"[1] argument you're trying to make, your argument doesn't make sense on a logical level. How can you compare a relative figure ("20x+") with an absolute one ("1M+")? At least compare apples to apples.

> Troia said the people responsible for compromising his site are the same people who hacked the databases they are now selling on the dark web and claiming to have obtained exclusively from his service.

So he's saying that these guys successfully compromised all these domains while he watched, but never did anything with the stolen info, waiting to blame it all on an intrusion into his company... in retaliation for him watching them steal it all in the first place?

That's some real Xanatos Gambit stuff right there. Maybe Troia lives in a David Mamet film.
Forgive me, I'm far from wearing a network hat and still struggle to wrap my head around things after 15 years. I don't know if this will make sense.

But seeing as the ISP uses NAT anyway, is there any way to further route the private ranges behind private ranges? I don't know if this is what 'Double NAT' is, I tried searching online to see if this would work or if it would cause all sorts of issues. I'm not too familiar with ISP Natting as my home ISP has always assigned a public IP address.
> McGrath described military shipyards in general as places “where an almost insane devotion to safety, good housekeeping and procedural compliance is required. It’s hard to imagine one or more of those things not being involved in the cause or spread of the fire.”

It seems like the culture of safety and competence of the US Pacific Fleet is not what it was. Another example is the USS John McCain colliding with a freighter[0]. Then there was the whole Fat Leonard corruption scandal[1]. Maybe these are just anecdata and a side effect of greater attention.

It’s not much of an apology because the final paragraphs try to push any future responsibility onto the SDK consumers by saying they should make sure they are updating as fast as FB would like them to.

Resuming the lockdown, particularly in such a sudden fashion, is just blow after blow.

Such small benefit for such enormous cost.

I am not convinced this could get through the legislature. I'm also confused how "emergency powers" can last for Governor's to have almost unlimited power for 4 months now.
When I worked at FB, I once brought down provisioning of bare metal fleet-wide for five hours because I forgot a semicolon in the .bashrc of the boot ramdisk... the linter didn't catch it because it only went off of file extensions, and ".bashrc" didn't end in ".sh". Even huge behemoths aren't immune from CI and linter issues.

Agreed on your second point as well.
As an immigrant, your driver's license is often tied to the date on which your visa expires.

However, you are also sometimes legally allowed to be in the US while you're in some kind of pending state -- for example, if your old visa/work authorization is expired but your new work authorization is pending and a decision hasn't been made about it yet.

The DMV needs an end date in the future, so they won't give you a license without one. So you can be legally present in the US, but not able to legally get a driver's license.

they say they are #2. I thought Shopify and Woocomerce were #1 and #2 and they were a very distant third, or even fourth if Magento is to be believed. Or does WooCommerce not count as SaaS?
It seems this is how big tech is responding to the VISA lockdown by Trump and co. They will simply leave. They already moved a lot of capital abroad to avoid US taxes. Instead of bringing Indians here, they will go there. The fundamental problem is that large multinationals are playing governments off against each other. Trying to get bigger concessions for the promise of jobs. Ultimately, the working people will suffer the burden of externalities dumped on their communities (pollution, overcrowding, crime, shortages,etc) The multinationals will harvest profits while the local governments are made to look ineffective, corrupt, and inefficient because of these problems.

> when they can be kicked out at any second

do you think that they really are just being flippantly "kicked out at any second"? or do you think it is because it's 2020 and the country is being ravaged by a highly contagious virus and every single american college campus is closed. Where are these students supposed to live? The dormitories are closed. How many college towns have enough available housing for 30,000+ displaced students. You know the American kids have to go home too.

A couple years ago, maybe on HN itself, someone bragged about how QR codes were totally obsolete because they had made a better version.

Their 'better' version relied on a web service that they controlled. So, I can't scan the code offline, and I'm at their mercy. It would have been a great joke if they weren't so serious.
I had always thought Job's attitude toward flash wasn't about control but was an actual vindictive strike against Adobe for not having his back when he needed them.
I actually helped my previous company migrate from Magento to BigCommerce, and found their offering incredibly compelling compared to Shopify. I do think BigCommerce is focused more on medium-sized businesses whereas Shopify is targeted towards smaller businesses or businesses that aren't really focused on their e-commerce side. My favorite feature of BigCommerce was the ability to run the site locally for development, using live product data from the site. I even made a few open source contributions to that framework, which was a nice change of pace compared to Magento development.

I was an international student (undergrad) and your impression is... well, it differs from mine.

No need-blind admission (except at the school I went to, the others literally told me I was too poor) and no government funded student loans (my private loans, which were still non-recourse, started accruing 12% interest the day I took them out)

Graduate school is slightly different in that you're often working for the school to cover the tuition, and who is eligible will be based on the donors and the program administrators.

It's also why racing engines (when not limited by regulations, or when only limited on total capacity) tended to have 8, 10, 12 or more cylinders. Despite the increase in the physical size of the engine, each cylinder would be smaller (for the same displacement) allowing higher revs and more power.

You hit the nail on the head when it comes to page builders. As far as I can tell, most of then try tackling the problem of expensive development by enabling nontechnical users to build sites in one of two ways: customize with a GUI (which is either comically limited or harder-than-code complex) or choose from an endless list of pre-built components/templates (which just turns one development hour into three research hours).

primo enables end users by enabling developers by offering immediate access to those same productive tools and making the code as accessible as possible.

As to your comment on single-source-multi-output, primo will be able to expose all the content on your site at an endpoint soon, stay tuned.

Yes, that works fine. The hard part is finding a suitable .so already on the system. The following (credit to Tavis Ormandy) creates /tmp/testing

It turns out that lynching black people in the United States was (and unfortunately remains) a very legitimate problem/criticism. The legalized system of prison slavery is another.

But, even those aside: Global network of CIA torture prisons. Concentration camps in Texas. Universal surveillance of all communications without judicial oversight. Extrajudicial assassination of citizens.

These are real things, happening today. Do people just ignore them because they don’t fit the “land of the free” narrative?

"You’ll Be Respected, They Said"

Yeah, I agree with that. I guess I just mean I think it distracts a little bit and makes the point weaker overall. No one should be treated like that though, and I wholly believe that there is suffering associated with that
I think the idea is that it’s the personal enrichment that’s the petri dish for the next company or idea.
The issue is two-fold - assuming that all the money comes at beginning, and forgetting about inflation, and not taking into account the shift in risk towards the later ten years, and assuming that your income stays the same. When taking into account the increase in income both absolute and in real terms after necessary expenses, you realize that a lot more than the majority of the money is invested in the latter 25 years.

But yes, it would be more than 20%, though a lot less than 130%.
