The only way he's getting impeached is if he does something illegal. Taking into account how the spotlight is on him 24/7, I'm sure he won't do anything dumb that could get him impeached.

I like Pence much better than Trump, but nope, that's not going to happen.

You can do whatever you want about Trump, I simply had enough of reading about it on Hacker News. These articles are not of my interest, and I don't think so many of them belong in this site, so I flag them because I don't want to see any more of them here.

I am not speaking for the rest of people who flagged them, of course. Just for myself.

>Companies would have to try to hire American first and if they recruit foreign workers, priority would be given to the most highly paid.

Wow, that's horrible. I mean, a country giving preference to their own kind. When is this nightmare going to end?

What if you create a folder, encrypt it, and then never bother to mount it again? You'd think it's safe when it isn't.

Thank you but I use Windows.

Is there a way to use a stable version of Chromium that automatically updates?

That's simply not true. In fact if they never strike it's because their union is powerful and can always get what they want without needing to go on strike.

If you do this please then release the % of users who've been told "you've been chosen to host a Muslim refugee" and have accepted ;^}

It's easy to pretend you're hospitable and generous when you're not paying the toll of your actions. You're not providing "free housing", the actual owners of the houses are. This is a unilateral announcement because you don't know if hosts will accept.

>attempting to lay claim over every individual's body

If that's the way it's going to be, why not let them simply die when they OD?

I would absolutely love to hear more about this. Any book/documentary/movie you can recommend?

Yes, don't worry--I'll stay away from a city that has 250 property crimes and 80 violent crimes every day while those in power keep looking the other way to be politically correct.

15 humans lost their lives yesterday in shootings, 268 during January: http://crime.chicagotribune.com/chicago/shootings

I suppose that'll end when Trump sends the Feds as he's promised on Twitter, though.

>How we can't go anywhere without the fear of being shot and killed by other black people.

I'm not from the US but this really looks awful. I wouldn't set foot on this city even if you paid me a million dollars. http://crime.chicagotribune.com/

>Although those countries aren't affected by the ban, who knows when Trump will decide to change his mind at his whim.

The ban on muslims is not something he decided "at his whim", but something he promised he'd do if he won the presidency.

Turns out he did win, and he's delivering on his promises.

Many of those projects you mentioned were state-funded.

Whatever they release, there is no way to prove that that is the code that is actually running on their servers.

Without IP we'd be stuck with really shitty software: nobody would ever waste millions in writing something just so somebody else can copy it the next day. Same as medicine patents, copyright of art, etc

Aren't profit motivation and IP good enough arguments?

How exactly is it a good idea for all websites to release their source code?
