And the no longer in service Sea Dart was really put to the test in the Falkland Islands war, preformed pretty well and made a material difference. And the somewhat related earlier RIM-8 Talos got 4 MIGs in 3 firings, including "the first downing of a hostile aircraft by a missile fired from a ship" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RIM-8_Talos).

But here's something that instead of entirely delegating, that at least for me is "hands on work": teaching (note also huddo121's recommendation that your formally codify your knowledge: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13061109). In fact, I'd say that one of the single most useful things I learned in high schoool, was JROTC's section on teaching, the Army and military in general of course are constantly teaching people things, heck, not all that long after my father got posted to a radar picket ship in the North Atlantic in the mid-50s, he became the junior officer who broke in brand new officers (he was Grand Lakes enlisted->OCS/only in for 4 years; I would have gone SROTC if not for my eyesight). And perhaps I picked up something of how to teach from his deliberate teaching of me and my siblings of how to hunt, fish, shoot and drive.

So look for some opportunities to mentor your more junior developers, and in terms of delegating, look for opportunities there as well. This can be fantastically rewarding, a win-win-win for you, the mentee, and the company, one of my "mentees" remains to this day one of my best friends.

Note also the knowledge transfer can go both ways, in that above case, I was learning C++ for the project, which he helped, and I helped him drop down to C, he'd only done C++ in college, so like the first thing I taught him was C's new is malloc ^_^.

One other thing to try, perhaps, although I've never been a manager position where all my time could be spent on managing, is to make a very specific segregated task that you'll spend a very finite time "hands on" doing, and don't pull rank when you come into conflict with your subordinates as you're acting as one of their peers.

I'd almost certainly put doing that off for some number of months to a year or so, take in your mind an official vacation from "getting your hands dirty" unless faced with an existential threat, and just focus on the managing.

Other things, especially from the military viewpoint: make it your job to keep your "troops" well fed, healthy, protected from your sub-par superiors, etc. Maybe even explcitly look into the officer/non-commissioned officer/grunt distinctions, they provide a model of something that works, albeit imperfectly as all things human, and in our world of high tech you definitely have to avoid certain forms of that. I.e. D-Day no, mission-type tactics perhaps: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mission-type_tactics

Nongshim also has a seafood Neoguri with "Udon Style Noodles" (i.e. they're a bit larger than normal); if you like seafood, this is worth trying out. They also appear to take pride in not using MSG, at least in the produced in the US stuff, so if you're sensitive to that their products are worth checking out.

Myojo sells an Ippeichan Yakisoba Japanese Style that's very tasty, and this style has no soup base. Rather, they have clever packaging that allows you to cook the noodles and vegetables (and a lot more of the latter than any other type I've come across) in boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain them without losing any of the food. Then you add a spice pack, a Worcestershire sauce based sauce, and mustard mayonnaise (why didn't we think of that??), the entire combination is wonderful.

They also sell a good Tonkatsu ramen, but as of late I haven't been able to find it for less than $3/pack and that's too much.

Moving further away, A-Sha Dry Noodle sells a variety of "air dryed", no preservative so the best buy dates don't tend to be more than 6 months out by the time you get them, noodles with sauce packets. You cook the noodles like pasta, 1.5-5 minutes depending on size, drain, then add the sauce packet. Mala spicy chili is great, as is spicy "BBQ" as in Sha Cha flavor if you like that, as I do, Mandarin is basic but good, the sesame oil and paste packets are a disappointment, but readily fixed by adding some sesame oil.

Moving even further away, you can get straight from Vietnam some solid attempts to make instant pho from Vifon, beef and chicken, and these have distant expiration dates because the noodles are rice, and the oil is essentially limited to a 17 calorie packet of spiced palm oil. Not really like the good pho I enjoyed in Arlington, VA, but there are hints of that, and they're worthy in the own rights.

Ask for links and I'll put up ones from Amazon, Walmart.com and A-Sha's storefront, although the Nongshim Neoguri in family packs is now on the shelves of my favorite Wal-Mart Supercenter in rather small Jopin, MO (!!!). Then again, it's really good stuff, and we really like our fish here, e.g. Bass Pro Shops world HQ is only 70 minutes NE on I-44 in Springfield, MO, now Missouri's 3rd largest city.

It is, though, based on ... dang's comments I think, in a previous incident.

They to date don't appear to believe that I "consistently drop hateful political rhetoric" nor to I believe I do, and I certainly try to avoid "regularly derail[ing] threads". Take this discussion, for example, what I've had to say is pretty much by definition on topic in a topic about "White Nationalism"

Heh, and on the ACLU Wikipedia page, "In 2006, the ACLU of Washington State joined with a pro-gun rights organization, the Second Amendment Foundation, and prevailed in a lawsuit against the North Central Regional Library District (NCRL) in Washington for its policy of refusing to disable restrictions upon an adult patron's request."

I'm sure this happened because a) the Second Amendment Foundation's 2 activities are running an important annual conference and b) lawsuits, and they're in Washington state.

And in either case, government censorship of their core political speech, which in theory reflects that of their members (not always entirely true for the NRA), is intolerable and why Citizens United was absolutely necessary.

And I've personally be using chrony for a while, although my needs are significantly less than whatever level of accuracy it provides. There are some other clients out there as well, such as OpenBSD's OpenNTPD, although I have a vague memory of it having issues of precision, congruent with the distribution's focus on security.

I still have a higher trust in them than pretty much any other general on-line merchant (a finely honed BS detector and general suspicious nature about anything "too good to be true" makes a difference, plus watching my father get burned on an iPhone purchase on eBay where the merchant played eBay like a fiddle) ... but they're getting me to start to look at others, which is not what I think they want....

Sometimes I can get it isolated to one of the items in my cart, although it can't remember if they then came from different warehouses.

Don't know about this being a Dark Pattern, though, vs. Amazon regressing to the mean, as others have noted in this context in other HN discussions, there are bound to be consequences to treating your technical staff horribly, with search's eternal awfulness being front and center.

Any reason you don't show us the respect of self-identity that you, at minimum, desire from others for your identity (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13055540)?

Per Wikipedia, it started in 1990, thanks to G. H. W. Bush and the Democratic Congress (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H-1B_visa). Which would have followed the NSF's et. al. 1980's campaign to reduce the cost of scientific labor by claiming there was a grave skills shortage.

As for "suspending it", Sessions at least took the "Intel yes, Infosys no" approach with his 2015 bill, but I agree the whole program is a problem. But I'll take his and Trump's position, which I think will take legislation, as a good first step.

But we remember.

Microsoft will have to continue to be a good citizen for years, probably decades, before we trust them again.

Although it would be churlish and counterproductive to not give them their due for what their current actions.

TL;DR: "neo-cons" + Reagan's 1980 transition staff are all probably dead or seriously retired by now.

So these include the National Rifle Association, a 501(c)(4) non-profit corporation, which is one way America's gun owners combine for collective political action. And which as I recall also filed an amicus curiae in Citizens United, McCain-Feingold very specifically targeted them (McCain, and I assume Feingold, hated it, and if not then, then I would assume for the latter now, after his unexpected failure to return to the Senate).

You're mistaking talking about it with the press being unable to ignore Trump like they'd done with the previous politicians who'd made a fuss about it, modulo the symbol laden example of Disney pulling this stunt, which, you'll note, they never made a "campaign" about. To take one of the most ludicrous and iconic example of this, the NYT had much more important things to do, like get women membership in the Augusta National Golf Club.

It's also the case that H-1Bs only seriously affect our domain of "IT", and unless you're in that, it's not in your face like Latin Americans e.g. transforming your neighborhood. Something I witnessed in the dozen years I spent in central Arlington, VA (although these, at least, made good neighbors. Heh, in the D.C. Metro area Arlington was by a good measure the most "diverse" of the municipalities/counties).

Really??? Evidence, please, for I'm not aware of this being a serious problem, and this is one of my domains of semi-expertise. As in, nowadays with the changes in state laws I carry concealed almost every time I walk out the door, my state was not a SYG one, and wouldn't bother if that was futile. This of course includes when I go to public bathrooms.

As for "endangerment of the public", I've never heard of it being an issue when a gun was used responsibly and none but the perpetrators were seriously injured. But I have heard of the deaths of innocents being charged as felony murder, by the surviving perpetrators (it can, of course, go the other way, see that bit about responsibly).

Do you have any facts, any incidents to back these claims up, or do you have another reason to claim that effective self-defense is futile, even to the point where it's better to be carried by six instead of judged by twelve, to reverse the normal formulation of that saying?

And we're just going to have to agree to disagree on your last point, for I have been seriously studying war since the 1970s, and there are plenty of examples of ideological wars. Heck, on Hitler's part, WWII was not a war of necessity; yeah, he wanted more resources, but Germany was doing rather well as it was, and e.g. being cut off from British coal directly led to the invasion of the Soviet Union (let's invade Russia during the winter to take their food, what could possibly go wrong?; see The Wages of Destruction: The Making and Breaking of the Nazi Economy for the detail, if you can stomach them https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0670038261/ Not finished, and not (yet) replaced after it was damaged by a tornado)). Nor, for that matter, was WWI primarily about that, although the resources of Alsace-Loraine were certainly an additional motivator. The French wanted revenge after they got skunked in the Franco-Prussian War, and they sure got their fill of it.

Heck, was Bush the son's 2nd Iraq War one of those? We didn't, you know, take their oil....

Were you, you know, actually around for this "scare"?

It wasn't a "scare", it was a debilitating and universally fatal infectious blood-born disease, which we'd gotten out of the habit of admitting was such a thing, And more than a few healthcare workers contracted it from their patients.

I'm going to call you on this claim of facts of refusal to treat AIDS patients, which I know happened at small scales, dentists included, for not everyone is Florence Nightingale brave, while also pointing out that prior to the development of effective treatments this didn't, you know, actually effect eventual outcomes. And was it widespread enough to be a major thing, enough that people were denied treatment altogether, as opposed to having to get it from someone else?

Going further, are we eventually going to regret according civil rights to a disease? Suppose Ebola had been much more transmissible than it turned out to be (helps when it kills so fast, it'll get really bad if/when it adapts and kills less, and less quickly).

No, not even close. It was the first serious, spontaneous, "modern era?"; let's say, 21st Century grassroots reaction to the crimes of our ruling class, and was, as I noted, brutally suppressed (really, you think Koch brothers were paying all those people to rally, and to pick up their trash after they were finished???).

Now the reaction is Trump. If he fails, the ruling class will like what comes next even less, and things will start to edge to existential for them, "history history is the graveyard of aristocracies" and all that. One reason their freak-outs are intensifying.

And, yes, I'm now shifting a bit and focusing more on the wider ruling class than the political "establishment" per se, for that's really what we're fighting, much of what's wrong with today's America doesn't emit from the halls of the Congress, the decisions of the Supremes, etc. etc.

For example, suppose the press had treated this actual IRS suppression like they treated Nixon's asking the IRS to attack his enemies, which they of course refused to do.

(Note the wording of the articles of impeachment, that which he "endeavoured" to do, vs. actually did: http://watergate.info/impeachment/articles-of-impeachment (this is something I followed in real time back then...), or e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixon's_Enemies_List#Purpose Nixon was not popular or powerful enough to carry this off.)
