nolepointer··on Healthy California Act: proposal to make findings about single-payer healthcare

You deport them? Doesn't seem like a big problem.

nolepointer··on Immigration Agents Discover New Freedom to Deport Under Trump
So they're doing their jobs?
nolepointer··on Facts about migration and crime in Sweden
Remember, everyone: It is only white-majority countries that are in need of immigration and diversity. Why? Um, well ... just because!
nolepointer··on Migrants Choose Arrest in Canada Over Staying in the U.S
You have to go back.
nolepointer··on Time to Take a Stand
Just because you don't like it doesn't make it illegal. The Immigration and Nationality Act gives him this power.
nolepointer··on Ask HN: YC please talk about Immigration Order
Because Christians are actually persecuted.
nolepointer··on Ask HN: How to best teach a group of children how to code?
First explain to them that you don't "code." You "write code" or "program." :)
nolepointer··on Track Trump: The First 100 Days
Yeah, considering from the About page we see that one person behind this worked for the Hillary campaign.

> Alec was a campus organizer on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign...

nolepointer··on How Hash Algorithms Work (2007)
49 + 399 = 448 448 mod 512 = 448, because 512 goes into 448 zero times with a remainder of 448.
nolepointer··on Obama Expands Surveillance Powers on His Way Out
That should have been obvious to you before the 2012 election. But okay.
nolepointer··on The illustrated guide to a Ph.D. (2010)
In my department (mid-tier university, I suppose), yes, an MS degree can be earned simply by taking courses (11 courses and a seminar on research). Alternatively, one can complete a project (9 courses, research seminar, and project defense) or a thesis (8 courses, research seminar, and thesis defense). However, even if you choose the course option, you will still have to read plenty of papers in your courses.
nolepointer··on Living in Switzerland ruined me for America and its lousy work culture (2016)
> ... and even race.

I think this is an important point. Switzerland, and most of Europe, is predominantly white. I feel like there is something to say about homogeneity.

nolepointer··on Elon Musk, Travis Kalanick, Indra Nooyi to Join Presidential Advisory Council
In what way? He's a different kind of conservative, yes, but I highly doubt he'd adopt the irresponsible fiscal and immigration policies, for example, of the left.
nolepointer··on To Build a Better Ballot
But we aren't a democracy.
nolepointer··on With Small Muslim Community, Italy Tries to Stop Extremism Before It Starts
I tend to agree. But I don't think the politicians care; they see it as politically expedient. It is sad.
nolepointer··on MIT Values
>The President-elect has appointed individuals to positions of power who have endorsed racism, misogyny and religious bigotry

leans into microphone

Wrong.

nolepointer··on Secessionists formally launch quest for California's independence
California is one of the 50 states and yet the candidate who wins it (obviously a Democrat) is already a fifth of the way to winning the presidency.
nolepointer··on Secessionists formally launch quest for California's independence
>I'm not very comfortable with the idea of being politically dominated by California

That's how many Americans feel when the presidential election rolls around.

nolepointer··on Secessionists formally launch quest for California's independence
I totally support this. Take Oregon and Washington, too.
nolepointer··on How to run for Florida Office
Good point. His platform does seem to be left-of-center, though, so Republicans didn't really have much of an option in this race.

EDIT: Honestly thought Shea was a female name. Oops.

nolepointer··on The Joy of Linux Desktop Environments
Some design choices for GNOME simply escape me. By default, no window buttons (i.e. active windows) on the top panel. By default, no maximize/minimize buttons for windows. Who could possibly find that user-friendly?
nolepointer··on GrubHub CEO Matthew M. Maloney Sells 14,491 Shares of Stock
Why is this article on a baseball news site? I'm so confused.
nolepointer··on Peter Thiel Speaks at the National Press Club – Live Stream
>Trump is a man whose platform consists of removing the rights of large cross sections of the American public (Mexican-Americans, Muslims, women, etc.)

You cannot be serious.

nolepointer··on The 2016 Election
And I, an everyday young American, will still be voting for Trump.
nolepointer··on Millions of Men Are Missing from the Job Market
And just to be clear, this is the same editorial board that supports Hillary Clinton, who will increase outsourcing?
nolepointer··on [dead]
Nicely put. MAGA.
nolepointer··on [dead]
Except that Trump has said that he does not care who uses what bathroom at his hotels and such. So, no, Thiel isn't an idiot.
nolepointer··on [dead]
*Temporarily banning. He's since changed his tune, saying that we need to heavily scrutinize those coming from countries that are terrorist hot beds. Jimmy Carter did something similar, so don't say it's "unheard of."
