Trump is the anti-Randian candidate.

- He's against free trade.

- He's in favor of punishing success, represented for example by his threats toward Amazon.

- He panders to religion. Rand was an atheist and was very strongly anti-conservative.

- Rand was very strongly in favor of immigration, especially when mixed with Capitalism.

- He's in favor of drastically increasing government control over the Internet, represented in his numerous quips about shutting down the Internet or otherwise restricting it.

- He has demonstrated a bent against freedom of speech, over and over again. Rand regarded free speech as the the single most important right.

- He's in favor of public healthcare systems. Rand was staunchly against all forms of entitlements, and all forms of socialized healthcare.

- He's a supporter of Social Security and Medicare. Rand was against both, overwhelmingly.

- He's more than fine with significant government regulation of the economy. Rand believed in laissez-faire Capitalism.

This list just keeps going.

Trump could hardly be more anti-Rand. I'd probably be willing to argue that Sanders is less anti-Rand than Trump is.
The problem is, once the government chooses to not close a known loophole, the number of people who exploit it may increase by orders of magnitude. Without a willingness to add the other 1350 pages, you may end up with something like 70% fraud prevention, not 99.9%.

What's needed is more refactoring. This would benefit from more capacity to try different sets of regulations in parallel.
1) Mexican isn't a race - it is a nationality. There are people of all races that are Mexican.

2) Curiels parents were illegal immigrants, and exactly the kind of people that Trump says he would deport.

3) Curiel has mentioned in the past (in a NYT article from the early 2000s, I can find a link if you like) that his Mexican heritage has had an impact in his practice of the law.

4) Curiel isn't a robot. Imagine if he ruled in favor of Trump...how popular would he be at the next family gathering?

5) Was it racist when Justice Sotomayor said that a "wise Latina" could make a better judicial decision than an old white man?

From investopedia:

Free cash flow is most commonly defined as operating cash flow minus capital expenditures

You would need to make adjustments to the cash flow if you wanted to account for the extra liabilities since that doesn't use cash in the current quarter.

My point is cash flow can be manipulated just like income statements. You really need to look at income statement, cash flow, and balance sheet to know what is going on.
So the argument is "be nice to nerds because they make and shape new things"? What happened to be kind to people because they are people?

It's pointless to argue about whom to blame as it is to defend oneself against accusations of blame. Fix the problem, not the blame. If there is no gender parity, there is a problem. You didn't do it, I didn't do it, but it still needs to be fixed.

> How does a libertarian become a nationalist?

Right-libertarians in the US already generally were nationalists (nationalism is a very common, if not defining, element of the right-wing orientation), and generally had the least opposition for government action in the same areas where authoritarian nationalists tend to focus on preferring government action, which is why lots of right-libertarians have always been within the Republican fold rather than voting for the Libertarian Party.

The evidence for poverty affecting education performance, however, seems pretty high here. Example paper out of many:

And there's more too it, of course. I chose this link primarily because I found another observation very interesting: "In many studies, [the] mother’s education [level] had a more significant effect on children’s scores than income."

Equating inborn aptitude to SAT scores alone seems very short-sighted.
Which is not an incorrect assessment. People consistently fall for the trap of taking the worst possible exponent of a group and extrapolating what the whole group looks like. With Bernie Sanders supporters, it was the "Bernie bro", with Hillary Clinton it's the "nothing's wrong with her, she's perfect" supporters, with Trump is the cesspool of hatred that is /r/the_donald (people celebrating pictures of a guy armed with an assault-style rifle wearing a "cuckhunter" shirt at the RNC convention... let that sink in.)

Tech workers already receive quite a bit of hate from some people (harassing at shuttle stops has become a semi-regular thing, I've been called a "fucking techie" when bar hopping, etc.) The last thing we need is the same people associating us with a political candidate who openly demonizes immigrants, insults women and disabled people, and who repeats "I'm RICH! SO RICH!" every time he's given an opportunity.

I'm all for Peter Thiel supporting whoever he wants, but I definitely don't want him to be the representative for the majorly progressive Silicon Valley population.

I do wish we made as much of an effort breaking racial and class barriers in this industry.

A common approach is to set a fixed amount per day for expenses based on cost levels in the country in question, and be extremely strict with extras, coupled with approved supplier lists and price ranges for the actual travel.

It "rewards" those who are prudent with extra cash, and so it certainly won't be perfectly efficient, but in return it makes it harder for those who would otherwise try to abuse the system who often will go far overboard, because any extra expensive claims can be given a lot more attention (and often will require advance approval), and it drastically cuts down on paperwork.
I see points of similarity on foreign policy, where they both stood out as less interventionist than other candidates (even Democrats). Trump and Rand both said they'd let America's allies look after themselves.
Netflix Billing Migration to AWS – Part II
There is a fundamental problem, some would say contradiction, in libertarian reasoning: if you have an open libertarian society with open borders, non-libertarian inclined people who are none the less interested in the prosperity of libertarian societies can move in and eventually destroy that libertarian society.

An internally libertarian society with strong immigration control solves this problem and would be called "nationalist" by most traditional libertarians.

> they will get 'racist' yelled

This formulation implies they are victims of people irrationally yelling 'racist' at them. They just said they supported a particular political candidate! How unfair of the mob to slur them!

You elide the underlying cause: they keep quiet to avoid having 'racist' yelled at them, because being a Trump supporter is supporting racism.

No, there isn't. We don't have a "gender parity problem" in nursing, pre-k education, garbage collection, nor boilermaking. Just because it isn't 50/50 doesn't mean it's a problem.

This causes a problem even in the POSIX environment, because the colon is used in PATH and PATH-like environment variables. Usually there is no escape mechanism.

I also support Trump out of self interest.

It is in my self interest to live in a county not divided along racial lines, where rule of law exists, where rioters are not given "space to destroy", where people are judged on their merit rather than on the color of their skin, where our military is powerful and deters threats from abroad, and where I can go out with my friends and family and not get run over or shot and tortured by a deranged Islamist lunatic.

I am very self interested.

Not discounting, but we really must at acknowledge the irony that this discussion on women/diversity in tech is largely being undertaken by white men.
> The trend from the last 30 years has been steadily in the wrong direction, with more gender separation in the work force

Interestingly this has been a trend most strongly observed in the most free, socially egalitarian and rich countries. In other words when men are women are most free to pick a career path they naturally self segregate. In countries that are less free and have more pressure to pick economically efficient career paths (i.e. social/financial risk of career failure is severe) there is a more even spread of genders. So I'm not sure that increased gender separation can be easily characterised as the "wrong" direction...
He has espoused a non-interventionalist foreign policy.
Unfortunately though, he is not a man of principle; therefore, I don't have high hopes he would follow through unlike someone like Ron Paul.

So for libertarian leaning voters, some might opt for Trump in hopes of less war. I feel that is a bit of a wildcard though. On the other hand, those same voters likely feel that Clinton is more certain of more war and debt.
Seattle still has a long ways to go for densification. Lower Queen Anne is not dense at all if you walk through it.

There are also still a lot of surface lots in downtown and throughout the city that should ideally be buildings with parking garages instead. If we converted some of those garage spots to paid public parking (similar to the pearl apartments on 15th), we'd get the best of both worlds.

It depends on your market. We're seeing a lot of Chinese capital (cash) being dumped into real-estate since it's seen as a cheap investment that produces good returns.

In this bubble that house is appreciating at 17% per year or more. If you're leveraged you can get higher returns, but finding someone to loan you the money may be difficult. If you've got cash, just dump it on properties and let it appreciate.
That's pretty much what the ideology of primitivism is about. They advocate a return to the hunter-gatherer lifestyle.

John Zerzan (/ˈzɜːrzən/, zur-zən; born 1943) is an American anarchist and primitivist philosopher and author. His works criticize agricultural civilization as inherently oppressive, and advocate drawing upon the ways of life of hunter-gatherers as an inspiration for what a free society should look like. Some subjects of his criticism include domestication, language, symbolic thought (such as mathematics and art) and the concept of time. - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Zerzan

>If there is no gender parity, there is a problem.

This seems to be an extraordinary claim made in the complete absence of evidence. Is it a problem that there are more women going into early childhood education or biology, but more men going into petroleum engineering? Why? Why aren't men and women allowed to express their preferences without it being pathologized?
Many prominent republicans have come to this same conclusion, so it's not an unreasonable fear.
I'm very interested in the potential role of surveillance technology in a scenario like this. Based on the Snowden leaks, I am left with the impression that the concept of a staged event could be modernized to be largely hands off. The government could monitor potential actors and always be one step ahead. They could even reach potential coup collaborators before the planners and threaten/buy them, creating large holes in the effort. By being able to closely monitor as many people as need be, you could safely let a coup attempt play out while maintaining the upper hand the entire time.

It sounds like the perfect project for a intelligence team located in the president's basement tech bunker.

Allow me to meander a ways with extending what I view as your point:

Should employers use whatever public records they have available to punish employees who donate money to the wrong party or candidates? Perhaps they should use this information in hiring?

If political support is fair game for attacking people in other aspects of their lives, why as a society should we allow for votes to be made in secret?

Maybe we should force people to vote on public record so we can really punish or reward each individual for his or her political choices.

What would you expect a male CEO of a social organization to talk about at a tech conference?

I suspect that while social issues might come up, the expected talk would be the male CEO focusing the talk on running his organization and the tech that is involved. Perhaps the importance of competent tech or something or another. The actual social issues would merely be highlights, and he'd probably skip talking about the male experience in tech.

I'd understand if she were talking about tools they were using to get young women and girls interested in the tech field, as I'd expect this sort of thing with someone involved with Boy Scouts - but this doesn't seem to be the case.
> He's a little less of a warhawk

Given that he's criticized Obama/Clinton for being insufficiently aggressive in several areas, and praised Putin's aggressiveness, I'm not sure where that conclusion comes from, besides his after-the-fact claims to have opposed the Iraq War before it started (his only public statement on the war before it started appears to have been grudging support, not opposition, on the Howard Stern show in 2002, and stating that a decision on the war one way or another was important on Fox News in January 2003, without expressing support or opposition.)
Reading this reminds me of Tech in Asia. At least a couple of articles everyday, without fail, where most is recycled content, reads almost like Buzzfeed actually. But sometimes there are gems that give real insight to a market that otherwise would be harder to find elsewhere (Asian tech news outlets are numbered fewly). And that's enough for me to check it every day.

That's not true. It depends on the plant species, but some seeds require physical or chemical abrasion of the seed coat before germination can occur. Some fruits have germination-inhibiting plant hormones in the fruit flesh, and cannot sprout until that is either digested or rotted away.

Some seeds require seasonal cycles of cold and hot, but that doesn't involve animals except insofar as they may cause the climate to shift.

That's not really why I swallow the seeds. I do it because it makes less of a mess to clean up after a meal or snack. Someone else might have to walk their apple core to a garbage can, and worry about whether it will rot and stink in there. I just put the stem on my desk and throw it in the landscaping mulch later.

So true. Open source lets small engineering teams punch above their weight. Thousands of extra eye balls on the code for QA make it so much better. And the project-user feedback loop is fast.
That's great. Thank you. But I am not much of a writer. I was just curious. Maybe somebody else can use this opportunity to write about it.
I think someone with enough ingenuity could extend [OpenFL](http://www.openfl.org/) to create such a transpiler.

An OpenFL HTML5 app is already capable of rendering SWF animations, but it doesn't currently support the internal actionscript.

With access to the games' original source they could be ported to OpenFL pretty easily (it uses Haxe, a language similar to actionscript that can transpile to many other language targets), but that's a bit short of automatic runtime transpilation of SWF content.
"A witty saying proves nothing."

Personally, I'd probably align most with Gary Johnson, but feel like he has virtually no chance of winning, so there's no point in wasting my vote. Like most Americans in this election cycle, I'm voting for the lesser of two evils. I think there are lots and lots of folks in Silicon Valley that feel the same way.

One thing that I've never really understood is why the valley apparently leans so far left. On its face, the sorts of policies that the left tends to advocate for would run counter to the things that Silicon Valley stands for: higher taxes, more regulation of businesses, more intervention in housing markets, higher marginal tax rates on "the rich" (AKA a middle class salary here) etc.

I assume that those who vote on the left either feel there are more important issues at stake, that those aren't really things the left stands for, or have enough money that it doesn't matter... would be curious to hear someone explain their reasoning, though.
But don't you think people need to be held accountable? You can't just let Trump supporters off-the-hook because it's just their opinion! Many of us would never belittle someone voting for Mccain or Romney who are accomplished and respectable, even if they may hold differing political views. Trump is a totally vacuous, exceedingly risky candidate. People should feel embarrassed voting and supporting him.
One is the private Kissinger and one is Kissinger-the-statesman? As engineer if you had me writing code to optimize railway transportations of prisoners in a nazi-style execution program I would be split between the engineer part of me and the part of me that would write the best possible code, and the part about me that thinks genocide is wrong.

The difference between the two is that I wouldn't let my engineer part win, but Kissinger would.
What mainstream languages, especially if standardized or open sourced, have you seen be completely abandoned?

Even Cobol, Fortran and Lisp are still active.
