On the plus side, illegal immigration is at the lowest it's been in 2 decades
Not just illegal immigration, people are avoiding traveling to the US in general (Interest in travel to the US has "fallen off a cliff" since Donald Trump’s election - https://www.theguardian.com/tr...) Good! There are enough people here, we don’t need anymore, we’ll make that tourist money up in other ways.
Silicon valley tech companies are avoiding letting employees travel to outside the US for fear they won’t be able to get back in. Good! show them with actions it’s better to only hire US workers. I mean what have immigrants ever done for silicon valley and the US anyway?! https://www.nytimes.com/2017/0...
the economy is up by 20%
%20? sure, I follow you brother no citation needed. Either way, great, nothing wrong there. ("Any improvement for the consumer will be balanced out by the higher value of the dollar," Mr. Payne forecasts. http://www.csmonitor.com/Busin...)
and we made a strong-but-measured move in Syria which has garnered praise from many world leaders.
Hey don't forget it's not just Syria, we are showing our strength all over the world! (civilian deaths - more than 1,000 in March alone - that have come directly as the result of the Trump administration’s other reckless military campaigns across the Middle East over the past few weeks. - https://www.theguardian.com/co...)
Yes, this is great! The heavy handed tactics accusations thrown at Hillary which would lead us into war, well now Trump has done them so it’s ok, yeah! We’re #1 we’re #1!
positive effect on relations and negotiations with Iran, N. Korea, and China.
Yes, for sure because they respect a useless reckless show of force over keeping their trade deals in tact.
Limiting illegal immigration should eventually bubble up into more jobs
Yup, I’m pretty psyched, I’m preparing for my new job! It’s at a nice outdoor location in sunny fields actually. Purportedly it reaches about 100F so I should get a good tan out of it to boot! The hours will be refreshing, I will be working from 5AM to 6PM and I’m working with nature, picking fruit, I think I can have a radio with me and I’m making $15 per hour! Great, looking forward to it! The other benefit is I'll be able to take some fruit home in my bag since I won't be able to afford it anymore at the supermarket.
Or is it just another example of government waste?
Yeah, i think it was one of those stupid "Obama liberal biased" attempts to help brown people not get railroaded by local law enforcement practices, good riddance I say!
The company, the report claims, created a "Teens Team" to figure out how to grab teenagers back from Snapchat,
In related news, an "Ex's" group is created and meets to figure out how to lure back the person that left them. Reports indicate that candy and presents will play a predominant role.
Let's see, I'm a teen, my parents and relatives are all on Facebook and I'm going to actively use the platform why?
Yes, exactly. I'm not sure how you would 'move to scala', unless you are refusing to take a job where you would have to code in java.
If you own your own company and make all the decisions then great, otherwise you will have to learn more languages, sometimes whether you want to or not (learn to want to:)
If you have time and interest work in Scala in your own time, learning a new language is always good, even if there is no direct monetary pay off
I agree there is a real need for an online micropayments system, especially for musicians and content creators. As pointed out above it's not going to work in Bitcoins or paypal or any other existing online payment system I am aware of.

34 percent of Americans believe it would cost $5,000
Apparently 34% of Americans are actually aware of the security implications of a "Smart Home" and know if would cost over $5,000 in leaked personal data.

Then why are most Netflix shows such drivel, especially when compared to HBO's original offerings?
You have cited the two shows which are quality on HBO with Westworld being the best show I have ever watched but try to name another HBO show. After I watched Westworld I searched HBO for something else on that level and came up short for even anything else to watch.
IMO, Netflix has a much deeper catalog with more consistent/diverse offerings and it's only growing for here.
What Netflix original programming have you watched? I recommend the first seasons of Sense 8, Jessica Jones, Daredevil, Black MIrror and Bloodline.
The Senate voted 50-48 along party lines Thursday to repeal an Obama-era law that requires internet service providers to obtain permission before tracking what customers look at online and selling that information to other companies.
The only way I can interpret this action is that Republicans value corporations over people.
From at least in or around 2013 through in or about 2015...
He was initially successful, acquiring over $100 million in proceeds that he wired to various bank accounts worldwide. But his footprint would eventually lead investigators to the truth,
So what amount is sufficient to walk away? 100M in two years?
I guess for some, it's the thrill of the chase, not the actual kill
The Internet has lowered to the barrier to getting stuff out to an audience, but it hasn't increased the talent level of the producers. Net result: easier to find more JUNK. Enjoy your cat videos.
If your looking for junk you will find it. I come across so much genuine and unknown talent online that I really scratch my head when I hear the radio and what is being fed to consumers. I've finally realized that success is majority marketing/publicity with a dash of talent, not the other way around.
Say what you will about it, I've found pair programming a strong Sr. level developer with a junior one of the fastest way to improve the junior's skills.
I just wanted to point out how wrong you are.
We have finished migrating to the cloud and now we have redundancy, speed and guaranteed uptime This also allowed us to get rid our our surly ops guys, so it's a win win really.
We are now in the process of outsourcing our programing department to India, another win, win for us in management.
We are excited about the future, what could go possibly go wrong?
If I want an actual chicken sandwich I sure wouldn't order one from any fast food joint. I'm surprised they contain any chicken at all, it's as you said, you want something that tastes remotely good, is fast and doesn't make you sick.
I care in that it would be great if they were honest in their marketing, "Look we both know this isn't really chicken but we promise there are only extra inert fillers. There aren't ingredients in here that are really bad for you that build up in your body over time, really".
Why do you care? Well if they are lying about the chicken, what else are they lying about? And in general you want what you pay for, although in this case, since fast food is subsidized, it doesn't really matter because the prices are so low anyway.
Why do 1st world workers feel an overbearing sense of entitlement that they deserve special privileges?
Yes, as fluffernutter said and because we already proven the unfettered capitalism will eat itself.
"Capitalism may be the best economic system ever devised, but one of its drawbacks is that it provides financial incentives to harm and even kill people." - https://www.nytimes.com/2016/0...
Waaaay to late on that score. The legend goes, the term "sabotage" comes from workers in the Industrial Revolution throwing their wooden shoes (called "sabots") into the machines which were replacing them.
I think the next line of job replacing robots will be made to look like Megan Fox or (whoever) to help curb that.
Do you also object to the headline, as robots aren't "taking" jobs, they're just being given jobs that used to belong to humans?
Fair enough. I'm probably overreacting based on the current nationalist attitude in the US. Maybe once angry displaced workers start attacking and killing robots I'll have the same reaction.
I'm so tired of hearing comments like this, nothing was taken! If Asians are now doing the job you used to do it's because it was given to them willingly by US corporate decision makers!
All this backlash over immigrants ruining America is crap, we have done this ourselves, the 1% needs to keep its revenue growth high and has no problem sacrificing your welfare to do it.
