Actual title:

> FAA Warns Airlines About Safety Risks From Rocket Launches, Urges “Extreme Caution”

Very strange title edit.


Only if it's your primary use of HN, see the guidelines and FAQ linked at the bottom of almost every page here. If you just use HN for self-promotion, that's discouraged and you have a good chance of getting shadowbanned. If you participate in the community and also self-promote, that's fine.

> Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity.


I should have looked, this makes total sense that there would be a published policy on this. Thanks for clarifying.


It's not deleted, it's [flagged][dead]. You can see it if you turn on "showdead" in your profile.

Your original claim:

> It’s understood ~60-ish percent of the pop want all aliens deported not only criminal aliens

Your "evidence":

> 56% to 62% of Americans support the deportation of all immigrants living in the U.S. illegally [emphasis added]

You do realize that the polling does not support your original claim, right? That "illegally" bit is rather critical and, notably, missing in your original statement.


The subject is people who entered illegally or have remained past their visas. Illegal aliens under federal law. Outside of kooks, no one wants to deport legal residents. They may want to limit some form of migration but that’s not the question and that’s not what ICE are concerned with. It’s not even in their scope in any way.

> Outside of kooks, no one wants to deport legal residents.

I agree, but that's not what you wrote in your original comment and were asked to defend and then failed to defend. You claimed that 60% of the population wants all aliens deported. The word "all" there means your claim included legal residents. Now you're backpedaling, I guess.


If you read further down you see I reference illegal aliens. Thats the jist.

That's not what you wrote, though. You wrote:

> ~60-ish percent of the pop want all aliens deported not only criminal aliens

That statement covers both illegal and legal aliens. Do you not know what the words you wrote mean? Why are you lying about your words that are plainly visible on this page if you do know what they mean?


> Outside of kooks, no one wants to deport legal residents.

The kooks seem to be running the show.

A common technique used by illegal immigration sympathizers is to artfully conflate the two for argument's sake.

A common technique used by racists is to pretend they are only care about illegal immigration.

Which is interesting when coupled with the fact that the people enthusiastically carrying that out is CBP agents (the people that murdered Pretti) at 50% latino/hispanic, and ICE also disproportionately latino. Why are minorities so overrepresented in the racist forces?

"Murder" is a very specific form of homicide and is both legally and morally unlikely to be the correct term here.

Ok. Homicidal racist forces, disproportionately manned by minorities, who want to stomp on other minorities.

Imagine waiting in line for a decade, going through a grueling process, following the rules and immigrating legally, only to show up and see hordes of criminal invaders who thought they were exempt from the same.

Why do that. Just get popped out by an illegal on US soil. boom, you are a citizen, and you can join the border patrol and smugly declare "ha you didn't wait in line."

Here's to hoping the Supreme Court can fix this loophole that almost no other developed nation in the entire world still allows!

It usually requires fraud in receiving the citizenship for it to be revoked. Once naturalized, if you commit a serious offense unrelated to the citizenship process itself, you'll keep your US citizenship.

Or ICE shows up at a naturalization hearing.

Don't hold your breath, Miller is big on denaturalization these days.

But he hasn't done anything yet, he just wants to. There's no legal standing for it at this point beyond what I said. Every case I've been able to find was tied to fraud associated with the naturalization process (either the process itself, or false statements given during the process).

Lack of legal standing is not something that has ever stopped this administration from doing something it has decided to do. Best case scenario is Miller gets thrown under the bus after the goal is accomplished.

> Yet Apple did not make a mistake. This strategy was entirely correct. Apple tried to innovate by developing a product it hoped at least some consumers would appreciate, and then attempted to price it at a level they’d accept while allowing the company to make a decent profit. If Apple only played it safe and developed boring products which it already knew consumers wanted, then it might as well just produce Marvel movies.

I strongly disagree with this. Apple did make a mistake. It was badly priced and both too close and too far in capabilities from the other phones in the lineup. Being marginally thinner to get a worse battery, worse CPU/GPU than the Pro, worse camera than either, made no sense at all.

I wrote a comment about this one before. The Air never made sense. It is priced between the regular 17 and the Pro. Going with rough size equivalents (so no maxes) the Air has a 0.2" bigger display than the 17 or 17 Pro with an appropriate amount of extra pixels. It has worse battery than both. Worse camera than both (or fewer camera capabilities than both). Its CPU/GPU is closer to the Pro so that is somewhat compelling versus the regular 17.

But it is on net a worse phone, or insufficiently compelling except to someone who wants to save $100 for a size equivalent 17 Pro. The Pro is "only" $100 more but overall much better (in quotes because that can be a lot to many people, but if that's a lot, don't buy a $999 phone). And the $200 doesn't buy enough to warrant the upsell from the regular 17 considering what's lost (camera, battery life).

The right product was either no product or going back to the mini (or something closer to it). The mini at least fits a niche that isn't filled by the 17 and 17 Pro, and the camera and battery tradeoffs are things that would be acceptable in that size of a device. Retain the single lens on the back, maintain the same battery volume (to retain about the same battery life, maybe improved with the smaller screen) which means thickening the device but not substantially (should be about on par with the 17 and 17 Pro).

The best thing about the Air is getting the SOC down to such a small size, which means that future phones could become basically a battery + screen + tiny SOC whose size is determined more by the camera lenses attached than by the actual chip and storage needs. That's not nothing, and if the cost of developing that was one lousy phone for this generation that isn't too bad. Hopefully they figure out how to use that development in a phone people want next time.


Counterpoint. The weight and form factor are worth it alone for some usage patterns. Disclaimer: very happy Air user

The Go creators declared it a systems language and it's stuck around for some reason.

Their definition was not the one most people would have used (leading to C, C++, Rust, Ada, etc. as you listed) but systems as in server systems, distributed services, etc. That is, it's a networked systems language not a low-level systems language.


> You wouldn't write mission critical stuff with it

People do, they also write mission critical stuff in Lua, TCL, Perl, and plenty of other languages. What they generally won't do is write performance critical stuff in those languages. But there is definitely some critical communication infrastructure out there running with interpreted languages like these out there.


> (often 90 days)

Not for government agencies. Data retention generally goes much longer than that, usually measured in years or decades, not days or weeks.


https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/poli... has a list of police body cam retention policies. 90 days is pretty common, though it ranges from 30 days to 5 years.

Documents are kept longer. But a court needs to think about the shortest possible retention time that any agency might have for any kind of evidence.


From your link's subheading:

> This chart includes categories for how long video is kept if it does not contain evidence of a crime [emphasis added]

So yes, some things are short (I did write "usually" for a reason), but even your link doesn't claim that video of a killing would be deleted in 90 days. It's evidence, 90 days would be ridiculously short for retaining evidence.

Even for people who don't think the ICE agents committed a crime, the ICE agents and DHS have claimed that this was the outcome from actions by a "domestic terrorist" which certainly makes it evidence of a crime from their own perspective.


It'll be interesting to see how far this gets. A lot of wealthy people in the US have multiple citizenship. Elon Musk, for instance, holds citizenship status in three countries. Thiel in the US and New Zealand.
