> It would perhaps be better if a domestic resistance could disrupt the Trump agenda before it gets to the point that it requires bravery in the face of death

Will y'all stop ham-fistedly forcing your insane political beliefs into every thread? Thanks.

The Wiki entry[0] for the secure trucks reads like some kind of Tom Clancy fiction. They allegedly have automated weapons systems that will kill attackers even after all defenders become casualties.

What's your point? They can help all the typical cases. If you need additional help, then you can find an accountant to help.

How so?

> some people perceive the US to be worse than China.

Those people are dangerously ignorant.

> Unless you're brown.

Yup, that's why we've never had a brown president.

Is that a Scandinavian thing, perhaps? My brother married into a Swedish family and his mother-in-law definitely loved that Swedish flag. Depending on the time of year you'd find she had Swedish flag tinsel, Swedish flag cocktail napkins, clothing, probably earrings and whatnot as well.

One could argue it's inherent in a right to privacy.

No one needs a framework, but if one makes things easier then what is the problem?

What, in your mind, is a good language that needs no framework?

What, specifically, about having a framework means the language is not expressive enough?

This was in the US, Pittsburgh, PA to be specific. However this was during the Vietnam war. Googling around, this sort of arrangement would make one ineligible from enlisting nowadays. There's an article referring to at least one case in which someone was denied enlistment[0] because of just such a case. Further research indicates that this is asked of recruits, meaning one could hypothetically perjure himself and maybe not get caught. I couldn't find any other references to this happening today, but there were loads of waivers issued back in the days of "the surge", so it wouldn't surprise me if some folks slipped through the cracks and got a "jail or enlist" talk from a small town sheriff or magistrate.

No, he flat out said that a bunch of dudes with guns are not a deterrent in this day and age. If that's not what he said, let him speak for himself.

> It's air and naval power. Expensive and complex hi tech death machines.

Afghanistan would beg to differ...

> Of course, a 10m country will never have a really credible defense against nuclear super power Russia by itself.

Unless the goal of fighting a war is to wipe the opposing side off the face of the earth, no, it's a credible defense. You bleed the enemy until they lose the will to fight.

Anecdotally, it worked for my uncle. The judge gave him the option to join the Marines or go to prison. He chose the former and he ended up becoming a productive member of society.

It's not a language causing shitty abstractions, it's not a framework causing shitty abstractions. It's shitty developers.

One can write a Java application and never touch XML, use AbstractFactoryWhateverTheFuck, and write sane, clean code. I've done so for years, worked on green and brown-field projects. I've also written, maintained, and modified monstrosities in Java... as well as C#, Javascript (front and back-end), PHP, Python, and plenty more.

Java is not the Hot New Thing™ and never will be. It's also not always the answer, but for a run of the mill application running on a web-server you're going to have a hard time finding a better language and ecosystem that will keep on trucking and be reasonable to work with.

> just look it up.

How about citing a source if you make a claim?

This story has nothing to do with Trump, his policies, or rhetoric. CBP tries to assess if a story is valid, this sounds like some kid who took a few classes being a dick. Stop trying to make every little thing about Trump because of your personal bias. You sound just as ignorant as the idiots who tried to pillory Obama at every turn.

The tool would be a database, the use is a registry. Also, have you never heard of a census?

I work for a company in the cyber-crime / cyber-security space. We piss off criminals. We get attacked. We'll still never see half the shit the USG does, we'll still never see half the shit a Google or Facebook does. Stop pretending your "Facebook for Cats" company is going to experience the same level of threat. It's foolish and sounds egotistical to pretend someone cares that fucking much.

> It's not like some really unpopular celebrity said "They're my favorite company"

Didn't the "delete Uber" campaign start the other week because of connections with the Trump administration? At least that's how folks I know on Facebook phrased it.

It's not excusing, it's providing context in a conversation about policy in the corporate, white collar, workplace. Bringing unrelated incidents into the conversation distracts from that.

Funny enough, the same could be said of your rebuttal.

Until you have proved something has happened, it must be assumed that it did not happen. There is no reason to assume something is true just because someone claims it happened. Especially when it is a claim that can severely damage reputations, livelihoods, and lives.

I have no problem with describing one's alleged experience. I take issue with treating it as the truth, despite providing no evidence. This is all unsubstantiated hearsay.

Sure, but you've offered no argument regarding this particular situation.

What scares me is that there is no evidence, only allegation. Yet people are jumping on the bandwagon, making sure to pillory anything they disagree with in connection to an alleged incident. Guess what? People lie. Until some proof is offered, you should treat the accuser with dignity but assume the story is false.

It would appear your analysis is marred by personal politics, as are most analyses of Trump.

Sounds like no nation wants undocumented labor because it is very problematic.

Rule of Law.

As a US citizen with no other nationality, where do I go exactly?
