Kamealoha, If I offended you my apologies are in order and I do extend them with sincerity. But what I said (wrote) about Mr. Apo is metaphorical, non threatening, cannot be accomplished and was written tongue in cheek. The purpose of my comment was satirical, ridiculous and my attempt at humor. People that draw cartoons or write limericks often use this method of writing to criticize people politely regarding political and contemporary issues. You must have seen cartoons that are drawn to exaggerate, accentuate or to make a point. My remarks were not intended to deride or ridicule people that are of Hawaiian decent; that is ridiculous. So let me clarity. Mr. Apo is not a mullet, he is a human being. Mr. Apo cannot be steamed and served with black beans or other condiments and eaten with rice. That cannot possibly happen. I also apologize to Mr. Sam Choy for using his name without prior approval. If there is something further that I can do please let me know. | 0 | en |

You could call up Wells Fargo and request a donation but unfortunately they are too busy paying off over $140 million out of the, "Let's commit fraud and if we get caught we can pay a fine".
You could call on some of the oil and gas companies that have received millions in tax credits from operations in Alaska but they probably can't afford it this year. Too many losses in countries and states where they may not actually show a profit.
The Iditarod committee could be more aggressive in seeking sponsors. They could drop some of the restrictive rules that might allow more contributions to come in. Case in point is the twice a year Iditarod raffle; 4 trucks in the winter and 2 trucks in the summer. Then there are maybe another dozen prizes.
Why not offer any business in Alaska the opportunity to sign on with the raffle. It might create thousands of additional prizes (list on web site, not ticket). Require each business make a cash donation that equals or exceeds any prize. | 0 | en |

"Partner Noni LaLone has been impressed with the added technology, including video conferencing and new monitors and laptops. 'It's really fun to be able to meet with a client and pull their tax return up on the screen and walk them through it so they can see exactly what you’re talking about and not flip through the paper pages and get lost,' LaLone said."
Oh wow. You guys have laptops and do tax returns electronically now. That's so advanced. You've caught up to my 60 year old independent CPA.

Identity theft is not victimless, but to say someone's life is ruined by it is a stretch. Ruined is more along the lines of severe burns, disfigurement, turned into a vegetable by an accident or assault, and so on.
If children really matter that much in our society, then what purpose is served by disrupting their lives to such a large degree by having them tag along with their mother to a country and culture (and most likely, add in severe economic depression) they have no part of?
Should that give the mother a pass? Absolutely not. Ding her with community service, maybe some incarceration (to make the far right feel better about getting revenge, oh wait, I meant to say justice), and some restitution to her victim. There are several options to extract a pound of flesh from her without also unduly consequencing her children - who happen to be US citizens by law. Sure, they can probably stay in country with other relatives while mom goes away forever. | 0 | en |

Q:
Xcode 9: how to install ios 10 sdk
Given the fact that currently Xcode 9 is beta and the main interest today is getting knowledge of iOS 11 the question is admittedly odd...
Is there a way to target iOS 10 as base sdk while working in Xcode 9 beta?
Is there need for Apple to package the SDK for Xcode 9 the same way they do for previous OS's in Xc8?
Why would one want this?
a) The first thing that comes to mind is to use Xcode 9 nice new refactoring tools on a project that involves code that needs changes from iOS 10 to 11, but has currently to run on iOS 10.
b) the sake of experimenting..
A:
Using this and this I was able to compile against SDK10.3 using Xcode 9 beta 4. It is possible with MANY caveats.
Caveat 1: The Xcode GUI doesn't seem capable of detecting multiple iPhone SDKs simultaneously. So you can't switch back and forth between 10.3 and 11.0 as your base SDK.
Caveat 2: The swift compiler that comes with Xcode 9 does not support targeting iPhone Simulator SDKs less than 11.0. You'll encounter this error if you try:
error: Swift does not support the SDK 'iPhoneSimulator10.3.sdk'
Caveat 3: Even if you do all of this, you still won't be allowed to submit an app with the intention of releasing it before iOS 11 is launched. The only benefit of using older base SDKs is to take advantage of certain special circumstances in the iOS platform. One notable example being background VoIP sockets and there are several other examples like it scattered throughout iOS's history.
The legacy VoIP architecture was replaced by a new PushKit-based architecture in iOS 8. It was then formally deprecated with the iOS 9 SDK. In iOS 10 it is only available as a compatibility measure; it continues to work (as well as it ever did) if your app is linked with an old SDK, but is disabled if you link with the iOS 10 SDK.
Caveat 4: You can only do it with a purely objective-C project. There seems to be some incompatibility between the 10.3 SDK and the version of the swift compiler that comes with Xcode 9. Specifically, this error:
If You're still interested
... here's how to do it.
Step 1
Replace the 11.0 SDK for Xcode 9 with the 10.3 SDK for Xcode 8.3.3 by replacing the files here:
Xcode-beta.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs
with the files from here:
Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs
Step 2
Change the MinimumSDKVersion value from 11.0 to 10.3 in this file:
Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Info.plist

"Restore and defend genuine freedom of speech and conscience, which includes granting those with whom we strongly disagree the right to be heard and respected.
Seek out and encourage political and opinion leaders who can identify with and express the underlying public concerns that fuel populist uprisings and redirect that energy to positive ends, without embracing the negative aspects that may accompany that phenomenon.
In a word, reinvent our politics and means of political expression to acknowledge and redirect the underlying causes of populist uprisings rather than simply denying or decrying their existence."

Many aging baby boomers, having heard of or read the horror stories about condominiums (big special assessments, boorish neighbors, etc., ) have chosen to stay on in the homes they've owned for many years. If they're prepared to install stair-lift devices, if necessary, and are happy to rent out their basements to their adult children (they can go a long way to paying the property taxes and utilities), why bother with a condominium? If later on they need extra care, they can sell their home, move to a senior retirement place, like Chartwell, and use the money from their house to pay for it. Right now, there are many re-sale condos on the market in Ottawa and they aren't selling quickly in most cases, in part because of the reasons I've cited. I can't speak for the Toronto condo market, but the outlook for condos in Ottawa isn't good these days. | 0 | en |

To clarify further: Genghiz was undeniably a truly evil bastard who killed more people than we can count. But he also brought a period of stability and subsequent peace to the region that was hitherto unknown in the entire world. Throughout the rule of the Huns a virgin could walk from Shanghai to Moscow without the slightest risk of being molested or bothered. That is barely posssible even today ! The peace, security and stability he established probably saved millions of lives since it lasted centuries almost certainly more lives than he took.
Does that make his evil "worth it" ? Does it make it a trade-off that we should consider beneficial to the human race ?
That becomes a matter of belief. If you are by nature authoritarian minded you would have loved to live in Genghiz's empire, and for that matter under the NATS, but if you are by nature liberty minded - and believe people are born equal then both are unforgivable evil no matter intentions. | 0 | en |

Anonymous hacks another private intelligence company, reveals spying on Occupy Austin and Deep Green Resistance
Documents reveal law enforcement sharing information with STRATFOR
Computer hackers known as Anonymous leaked information obtained by hacking into private intelligence firm Stratfor’s computer network. The documents—what Anonymous is calling a teaser—suggest that from at least October to November 2011 Stratfor worked with Texas law enforcement to infiltrate the Occupy movement and spy on the Deep Green Resistance (DGR) movement. The document contains emails in which Stratfor employees discuss Occupy Austin and DGR. Stratfor “Watch Officer” Marc Lanthemann writes about receiving information on Occupy Austin and DGR from a “Texas DPS agent.” The Texas Department of Public Safety is a statewide law enforcement agency that includes an Intelligence and Counterterrorism Division.
A statement from Aric McBay and Lierre Keith, authors of the book Deep Green Resistance, condemns the surveillance and infiltration of activist groups by law enforcement and private corporations and calls on activists and their allies to expose and protest the violation of constitutional rights.
“Law enforcement sharing information about local activism with private intelligence firms should be a huge scandal,” writes Rachel Meeropol, staff attorney at the Center for Constitutional Rights. “Privately funded surveillance and infiltration of activist groups is especially chilling, as time and again we see such corporations operate as if they are above the law and accountable to no one.”
In the emails, Stratfor staff discuss how their agent went undercover and tried to gather information from an Occupy Austin general assembly. They discuss DGR Austin holding a public meeting on what radicalism means for Austin (describing the purpose as “indoctrination”), they write about the book Deep Green Resistance, and they speculate about the relationship between DGR Austin and other groups. Comments in the email suggest that this surveillance is ongoing.
Stratfor and law enforcement allege a conflict between members of the DGR Austin group and Occupy Austin that doesn’t seem to have happened. It’s not clear if this is part of the strategy counterintelligence groups have used in the past to try to provoke conflict between different social movements—the FBI used this very effectively against groups like the Black Panther Party—or whether Stratfor is simply relying on unreliable or incompetent sources.
In addition, they claim that DGR is inspired by Nazism and philosopher Martin Heidegger is outrageous and that DGR “is focused on creating a situation where violent confrontation will be the ultimate outcome.” McBay and Keith say both of these assertions are just plain false.
In December 2011, Anonymous attacked the Stratfor website, allegedly stealing 200 gigabytes of data and shutting the site down for weeks. Anonymous has gone after such corporations before, such as internet security firm HBGary. They released private documents that included secret plans by HBGary and others to attack and discredit Wikileaks on behalf of big banks.
There is a long history of clandestine groups releasing secret information about the surveillance of social movements. In 1971, and underground group called the Citizen’s Commission to Investigate the FBI broke into an FBI field office and released thousands of pages of secret information, revealing that the FBI had attacked 1960s social movements with methods ranging from surveillance and infiltration to targeted assassinations. Though we have no contact with Anonymous, their leak of information about government and corporate tactics of repression is part of an important tradition. More leaked information from Stratfor is presumably forthcoming.

Ivanka Trump Supporters Hit Goldstein And Lasner Where It Hurts
After Attorney, Daniel Goldstein, accosted Ivanka Trump on a JetBlue flight this week, her supporters are hitting the lawyer where it hurts – his pocket book.
Since the confrontation that resulted in the two men being kicked off the plane, Ivanka’s supporters have set their sites on Goldstein’s husband, Matthew Lasner.
Lasner, an urban studies professor at Hunter College and author, has seen a gigantic increase in negative reviews on his book “High Life: Condo Living in the Suburban Century”, which sells on Amazon.com.
One review, written by “Amazon Customer”, said that Lasner is a, “liberal idiot that harasses a young mother and her three children aboard a Jet Blue airline flight…”
Another review, while a bit more understated, said, “Left me feeling verbally assaulted. Almost as if I had jetlag. I won’t be taking this flight again anytime soon.”
Daily Mail reported that there was only one review on the book out of 106 that had made a verified purchase, which was made in 2013.
While most of the reviews were against Lasner and his book, one Amazon user tried to fight back by leaving a five-star review. After praising the book they added, “Not recommended for white supremacists.”
While Lasner has defended his spouse saying that, “My husband expressed his displeasure in a calm tone, JetBlue staff overheard, and they kicked us off the plane, according to TMZ, Goldstein was abrasive and rude shouting out, “Why is she on our flight? She should be flying private.”
Shortly before the encounter, Lasner had tweeted (and then removed), “Ivanka and Jared at JFK T5, flying commercial. My husband chasing them down to harass them. #banalityofevil“.

How LinkedIn screwed up our friendship - kumarski
http://kirillzubovsky.com/linkedin-screwed-up-our-friendship/
======
pallandt
I don't know anyone personally that uses LinkedIn as a medium for establishing
a friendship.
People already have Facebook for that, or even Twitter, Tumblr, Google+ and so
on. I generally never turn down connection requests from LinkedIn (even if I
don't know the person) unless the requester is interested in ridiculous stuff
such as 'advancing our careers by giving each other endorsements'. Yes,
someone specifically sent me such a message and it made me remove them from my
connection list.
I've also connected with quite a lot of people I 'met' through various
Coursera courses I took and that seemed smart/interesting, but not with the
intention of friending them. They sometimes make insightful comments to
LinkedIn groups they're subscribed...I can read this in the Updates section.
Sometimes they launch new business ventures and I'm happy for them they put
the Startup Engineering course to good use. None of these people have bothered
me with anything, but I have the opportunity to learn something by watching
them evolve.

So we all know that everyone is on LinkedIn & every recruiter in the world is
spamming us with invites but who the fuck actually uses it & gets any value
out of it?

smedawar
Great post.
LinkedIn needs to stop focusing on raw numbers and work on quality engagement.
As a recruiter, I have had a policy of accepting any request over the years,
and it has resulted in 10100 connections and almost no engagement. I almost
only go to LI to accept my requests. The most value LI has provided has been
as a directory and having accepted 10k+ requests, I now have a very open and
thorough directory. If I was trying to use the site for anything else, it
would be a mess.
I think there's a lot of opportunity for them to fix this (and they probably
will), but it seems like they're focusing on growth first.

I just got a response to on Twitter from @grayj_ , saying "Making a KPI go up
will often get you a bonus or a promotion; advocating good UX won't."
However sad, I suspect this is the reality of LinkedIn being a large and slow
corporation. Unfortunately :(
~~~

Why not make % accepted requests the KPI instead of # sent requests? The
former would encourage a message for every request. The latter encourages mass
emails to address books, accidental requests, etc.

LinkedIn is pretty bad on this. Just when you think youve opted out of every
mailing list, its seems like they invent or create some new 'feature' which
opts you in. Again.
------
GrinningFool
INterestingly, I revisited linkedin today and found it an improvement that I
didn't have to look at the boilerplate text and/or update it to send a
request.
I don't send requests to people who won't recognize me, so I much prefer
avoiding the extra step when 'connecting'.
That said, I still haven't found a meaningful, practical use for LinkedIn. So
far it just nets me self-styled ninja recruiters haranguing me based on
keyword searches, which is just irritating.

I got 3/4 offers on my last job hunt through past co-workers that re-opened

~~~
Bahamut
It's a removed form though. In person networking is far superior.
~~~
fecak
I'd disagree that in-person networking is superior for most. Many are much
more comfortable making those positive first impressions online because they
are less comfortable in face-to-face settings. Thankfully, by the time they
are required to meet with others, they already have gained some points through
their online interactions.
The need to physically meet people has become much less important, and
reputation seems to be the difference. There are probably hundreds of people
on HN who have received work from people before meeting them live, and perhaps
were even referred by people they've never met live.
------
morgante
This is a totally nonsensical post. If you're not friends with the person, the
ability to write a small post about it isn't going to change that. If you
_are_ friends with them, then the lack of a message doesn't matter.
As for following up after conferences and such, the proper protocol is an
email.
~~~
benihana
> _As for following up after conferences and such, the proper protocol is an

Oh it is? Cool! Okay guys, _morgante_ solved all our communication problems.
All you have to do is go on the internet and tell people what the proper
protocol is for communicating and everything else will work itself out.
Guess what. I don't want people emailing me after a conference. I'd much
rather they get a hold of me in other ways, like twitter, or facebook or
linkedin. And what a surprise, your preferred method of communication is
different from mine. It's almost like different people have different
preferences and something that works for you may not work for other people.
And maybe you shouldn't go around making arrogant proclamations about what the
proper way to do something is cause people are probably going to disagree with
you. _What a concept!_

Why do people take LinkedIn so seriously? I will accept stranger's requests if
I think they could provide some kind of useful service to me now or in the
future.
I'm not maintaining a list of important relationships on it. It's a rolodex to
me and a business card can and should be added to it whether or not we've done
business already.
This idea of carefully pruning your connections seems quite popular. To those
that do it, what's the upside? (The upside to letting almost everybody connect
is that, if in 5 years I need to contact somebody or they need me it might be
a little easier for us to get in touch.)

I always want to be able to respond with an actual answer if someone asks me
"Do you know 'x', you are connected with her/him on LinkedIn". Otherwise, it's
really just a waste of both of our times since I think improving your
connections with the people that you know somewhat well is the true key to
using LinkedIn well. That connection could be as simple as "I met them briefly
at a conference", but it can't be non-existent.

I feel the same way. Honestly, I meet a lot of people briefly at events and
don't always recognize their names or profile pics. I greatly appreciate it if
someone can simply say "nice meeting you at X the other night". It's
LinkedIn's fault for not really encouraging more authentic connections and
instead, pandering to the volume connectors. Between lack of utility and
overall creepiness, I fairly frequently consider just closing my account. One
of these days...

LinkedIn is definitely a funny beast. My favorite thing about it is that,
unlike other social networks in my life, it's only there when I need it and I
don't check it compulsively. If I want to check if I know someone at Company X
because they might be interested in something to do with my professional life,
I can hop on LinkedIn and see if I know anyone there or have a connection. I
never go to LinkedIn otherwise, so I have no problem connecting with anyone
and everyone.
Facebook and Twitter, on the other hand, I check multiple times a day to make
sure I'm not missing something "important" in the firehose, which just wastes
tons of time.

LinkedIn is trying to become one of those compulsive check services though,
with their upstart blog and news thing they've started recently.

They definitely are, I'm going to do my best to fight the urge.

It's convenient to just blame LinkedIn for a friendship you evidently didn't
have to start with. Nothing stops you from writing an email to the person
first or immediately after you hit the "connect" button. Don't blame your own
laziness on a tool.

Lazy blogger rant imo. You're making business connections on linkedin, not
connecting with friends to gossip, post memes, and keep fake friendships going
(yet).

F*ck you LinkedIn. I Don't even have an account there, and they keep spamming
me with invites from people. I thought maybe these were coming from some
phisher site, but seems that they are actually doing it themselves.

Every time someone lets LinkedIn look at their address book to "find contacts
you already know in linkedin", LI takes it upon themselves to spam everyone in
that address book. I guess there's an opt out somewhere. One time I had to add
a woman's email to my account as a secondary address so it would stop spamming
her, we couldn't find any other way to do it.

Thank you for the clarification.

And it's even worse. I saw this post and went to LinkedIn to accept the
friendship. I think the only way to do it is to click on the link from the
email which I had deleted. I didn't see ANY page on LinkedIn with outstanding
friend requests. -Ethan Anderson

Thanks for accepting! Doing a startup, I can see how these things are easy to
miss/forget. In fact, I ran into just the same issue with Medium today, where
posts that were added to my collection are nowhere to be found, except for
email. @Medium got back and told me they haven't developed the interface yet.
Fair point, I almost expect that from a company that's growing and constantly
iterating. But given the size and maturity of LIN, one would hope for a better
experience. Glad you found the link after all :)

I've done this, myself. It is really easy to accidentally hit this connect
button when swiping on the iPad.

joelby37
I concur - a few months ago I used the mobile Web site on an iPhone. I was
idly scrolling around the "People You May Know" list while distracted. I
noticed that if you merely scrolled the page by swiping and your finger
happened to start on top of someone's profile, it would immediately invite
that person to connect without any confirmation.
It was a pretty horrifying realisation that I'd become one of those random
inviters - now I have much more sympathy to people I've never heard of
inviting me to connect! I refuse to use the mobile site again, so I haven't
checked if it's been fixed.

Good post. It's actually pretty clear this is in the design though. I don't
know of any languages where "connect" means "send email (including to people
you may admire professionally but only met once in your life, if that". The
"+" might be the only thing keeping that button away from complete
misrepresentation.

Most of the time on Linkedin, you can write a little text when you add
someone. You click add, then you and write something like "We talked at x
about y and I liked our conversation, let's connect."
~~~
wrongc0ntinent
I understand, but at this point you'd expect some sort of intelligent flow in
the platform. You definitely wouldn't expect to have an adversarial
relationship with it, which is exactly what happens when they take advantage
of your trust in their UX. Why would "+connect" imply sending email
invitations? If they re-purpose terminology they should be very clear about
it, to the point where it's understood. I'm not shooting down the concept or
the content, but it becomes immediately clear where they're coming from, to
their detriment.

I think the wording is wrong here. The post makes a lot more sense if you
replace the word "friendship" with "relationship". It is quite possible that's
what the author actually intended to say, but for whatever reason (brain
cramp, poor English, whatever), ended up writing "friendship" instead.

I don't use LinkedIn or have a résumé because I think both are a waste of time
and I don't care. Its great to be a programmer where the job market is in such
demand you have the option of not doing the following above.

I used to be quite liberal in accepting connections, but someday I realize a
lot of useless connections is worse than lack of connections. For example,
when you need endorsement, will you ask some random person for one? Will you
feel safe and secure to share your personal stuff, even if it is work-related?
I make it my policy to only accept invitations from people whom I know, or
headhunters/recruiters.

None of Linked-In's magic is helpful. Something I just realized today about
those annoying unsolicited endorsements:

I couldn't read all of this, it is too upsetting. But some points:
1. Actual torture is wrong, period, no matter what. Burning people on spits?! No!
2. But it is an indisputable fact that most of the world's cultures do not share this liberal western value, and all sides in a conflict do it. There is nothing we can do about that.
3. Some practices are worse than others. Again, spits?!
4. Unless we refuse to have anything to do with any of them, we will be tainted by association. Foreign relations makes for strange bedfellows.
5. The moral conflict between ideals and reality has a lot to do with the mental and emotional issues soldiers have when they return from these engagements.
6. But short of taking the kind of isolationist stand Trump advocated before he took office, and has abandoned since, that is the reality everyone has to live with. | 0 | en |
