There are benefits to being associated with a global superpower in regards to quality of life improvements. Obviously they are not worth the cultural and human costs that Tibet is currently experiencing, but if we can get true autonomy, I don't see why you wouldn't want both. I say that as a Tibetan in exile.

There are some Tibetans that don't think true autonomy is possible with the CCP and thus still want independence though.

Well good for you cause the Tibetan Government in Exile and the Dalai Lama do not want independence. https://tibet.net/important-issues/the-middle-way-policy/

This is not a great example because WWE wrestlers should also be employees and not independent contractors.

There's the John Oliver's video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8UQ4O7UiDs

And also a journal article in response to the video

Which concludes,

"But in the end, the totality of the evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of wrestlers being more accurately classified as employees."

That commit is from Aditya Pakki who I don't believe is affiliated with the paper in question, whose only authors are Qiushi Wu, and Kangjie Lu.

Yeah this is right. Vox has a video on this exactly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2tuKiiznsY

The problem he is referring to is not that facebook narrows down the audience based off of likes. His problem is that his mom, and consequently other family members, always immediately likes his posts regardless of the content which narrows the audience down to his family members instead of the intended audience. He wants Facebook to take into account that the person liking his post is his mom before narrowing down the audience to family members.

I admit it's a little odd. Relatedly, the UK also instituted a similar laptop ban as well. If not the laptop bomb threat, then what do you think it is? http://www.wired.co.uk/article/uk-laptop-ban-flights-explain...

No it's almost certainly due to the recent intel that found that ISIL had developed a way to hide bombs in laptops to evade airport security. http://www.cnn.com/2017/03/31/politics/terrorist-laptop-bomb... http://heavy.com/news/2017/05/isis-laptop-bomb-threat-planes...

Well what do most people (not just devs) like about macbooks? I would say build quality, "it just works" (macOS), and status as an apple product. The entry level macbook air still has those things. As for the chromebook comparison, macbooks have always been more expensive than its competitors at the same spec level, so this is nothing new.

I feel like saying it isn't a viable machine because of old specs isn't necessarily true since people will still buy it.

Yes, why wouldn't we count it? It's an entry level laptop for a reason; it's going to have entry-level specs.

I believe, the distinction that orclev mentioned was that in Rust, you specifically have to be aware when something is allocated to the stack or heap, but in Go, you don't have to since the compiler deals with it. Obviously Go allocates to both stack and heap, it's just that the user doesn't need to know which.

That's actually not what the tipping screen looks like now. Here's what it's looked like since 2014 http://thehub.lyft.com/blog/2014/10/13/revamped-pay-screen
