Not one mention of religion in the article. Not one mention of the 2010 or 2014 elections and what happened in DC. No talk of the difference between the reporting on the Tea Party and what actually happened, No EPA, no school lunch program talk, and no talk about every Atlantic article that demonizes some aspect of the rural areas including farming.

Its pretty simple why Trump won the GOP nomination: a lot of folks are not happy with the actions of politicians and want a definite change. If that doesn't work, they'll try someone more radical.

All of the fixes people normally think of have already been operational for these people. They live in the richest country in the world -- a country with free and compulsory public education, and a social safety net that is better than most people think (not as good as Europe's, but a lot better than nothing). And yet, these people have nothing to offer to anyone -- no job skills of any kind, in many cases.

We can't bring the manufacturing jobs back for these people, either. Let's dispel the notion that the collapse of manufacturing jobs in the rust belt, where many of these people live, was the result of political choices. It was inevitable -- the rise of China, southeast Asia, and Latin American countries has revealed the truth that US manufacturing was not globally competitive, but merely sheltered. NAFTA sent some jobs to Mexico, but in the absence of NAFTA, those jobs would have gone to Asia instead. If the US government had decided to protect US manufacturing jobs at all costs, we would have quickly learned what "all costs" means -- the cost of protecting those jobs would have risen quickly over the years until we could not have afforded it anymore. The tariffs required to do so would have been an enormous drag on the economy, and on the well-being of most Americans, and therefore unsustainable economically and politically. So the political choices involved in the collapse of manufacturing jobs could at best have delayed the inevitable.

So, whatever we can do for these people is by degrees -- improve the free public education they already have, improve the welfare benefits they already have, maybe cut their taxes, if they earn enough to pay taxes. We can't bring the jobs back, and it's naive of them to believe candidates who promise that they can.

But maybe we shouldn't feel sorry for these people, who grew up in the richest country in the world, with free education, and have nothing to offer to anyone. A lot has been done for them already, and unlike almost any other group in this country, they cannot point to any injustices visited upon them as an excuse for their current state of affairs. Let's keep in mind that they were never enslaved, and that they were sheltered from competition from non-whites and foreigners for decades. They have managed to fail in a country designed to promote the success of white people, often at the expense of other groups. Their lives are significantly better, more comfortable, and more secure than those of people in many countries of the world. Billions of people live in poverty these poor white Americans could never imagine. These Americans have housing, enough to eat, clothes to wear, cars, TVs, video game consoles, government-provided health care (Medicaid) and welfare payments in many cases -- all the trappings of middle-class life in many parts of the world. What else do we owe them? Self-actualization?

Frankly, I'd rather give my money to some of the billions of people in the world who live in ramshackle houses with dirt floors, no electricity, no education, and no way out. These white Americans have enough that I don't see how they are entitled to any more unless they earn it themselves.
The article appears to have some sort of bad science.

> This effect was first discovered back in 1836 by physicist Michael Faraday, and it works in a similar way to noise-cancelling headphones, which block out noise by emitting the opposite wavelengths of sound.

> So, when electromagnetic radiation - such as a phone signal - hits the outside of a Faraday cage, it causes electrons in the metal to move and create an electromagnetic field that exactly opposes and cancels out that wavelength of radiation.

They make it sound like the mesh is actively generating an opposing signal to cancel out the cell phone signals, which is pretty far from the truth. I think the article writer looked up info on how faraday cages use charge imbalances and then figured they were just like active noise cancellation headphones.. somehow.

In a country of 5.7 million people where the capital has a metro population of around 2 million people I imagine it's a lot easier for people to want to care for each other.

I imagine that the Danish fit the notion of 'nation'[1] much more closely than people from the US.

Or at least, I think that's how the argument is supposed to go.

Like another comment said, perhaps it's just an excuse. A case could be made that went something like "Look, if the Danish can do it so can we", or "Let's look at what the best in the world are doing then model and copy their behaviour where it makes senses for us to do so."

A number of large vendors like Barracuda and Tipping Point do this. A friend of mine one time found that they were unable to log in to pay their TV bill a few days after setting up a relay node. After he made enough noise about this, their engineers investigated, and sure enough, Tipping Point flags a relay node as suspicious for no good reason, and the IPS was blocking his traffic.

On a side note, companies really don't like to deal with people who can't access their site. Being told over and over "It's your ISP", even when on a conference call with said ISP (and nevermind how difficult it was to get that set up with someone who understands the problem) was infuriating.

> The key difference between what he meant in the quote and how the quote is used is that liberty refers not to individual liberty but the liberty of the state to impose on the individual to further collective security.

He wasn't talking about "liberty of the state". He was talking about individual liberty, as protected and empowered by the state.

The debate is on (potentially) trading short-term security for long-term security and the individual liberty that security protects.

And so, in less bombastic terms, it seems Franklin's meaning is that trading a small measure of short-term safety at the cost of long-term security (from threats of any source-- external, domestic, or from the state itself) and liberty is a recipe for disaster. Franklin says here that being willing to trade short-term safety at the cost of longer-term security (and therefore liberty) is fretful and unwise and means you will ultimately forfeit actual liberty.

One can question whether or not such a trade-off truly exists with respect to the current encryption debate. But it seems fallacious to draw a dichotomy between this quote's original meaning and it's meaning as used in the debate today.

> attracting job-seekers from all rungs of the socioeconomic ladder

We've had quite a lot of articles on HN about how bad the filter of using certain University enrollments to select a companies job seeks is for diversity in general. Economic diversity is also problematic when you only hire from top 25 schools.

Many will disagree, but: having visited a large number of European capital cities over the past few years, I found this Barcelona neighborhood to be among the most boring. Every walk felt pretty much the same and it was easy to get lost if you weren't constantly reading the signs. Give me an insane, chaotic city center any day!
Last I checked Barcelona was still in Spain. If they object I'm fine with it but I'm not going to 'tune' my comments to whether or not someone may or may not be offended when for the rest of the world 'Catalonia' is solidly part of Spain.

Frisians are Dutch too, and Welsh are British and so on.

All of the above are also Europeans...
There are plenty of scooters in Barcelona but honestly I've never noticed generally worse behaviour from them than anyone else, except maybe starting off from lights early, but it seems everyone is guilty of that here.

Aside from that however, as a cyclist from the UK, I've been very pleasantly surprised by the lack of aggressive driving since I've been living here. I very very rarely feel threatened by other road users on my bike, except by Bicing (city-wide bike rental/'sharing' scheme) users, and I think that's just because Bicing is used by people that don't cycle regularly so aren't very experienced.

Also there are already an increasing number of semi-pedestrianised streets in the centre of town and they work fine, cars, scooters and bikes go down them too but very slowly and usually only if they really need to because there are faster routes if you're through traffic.

> I challenge you to name just one thing from what I said that you can show has no proof.

Do you mean you want me to say you haven't proved it here (which is obvious, you proved nothing), or that you don't have proof you aren't showing us?

I can't show you don't have a hidden proof. You can't show I don't have a unicorn.

The quote about clowns he gave you is a general quote. basically, just because people disagree with you / call you a fool / downvote you doesn't make you right. Sometimes it means you are right, but more often it means you are wrong.

When you say you will wire me all your money if I can prove anything you said wrong, what would convince you something you said was wrong?

I can imagine what a disproof of Newtown's laws of physics, or quantum mechanics, or general relativity wrong would look like. These are well-defined mathematical models, so just show something in the real world not following those mathematical rules. I'm not sure how I could prove your system is "wrong", as it doesn't predict anything.

I can use Newtown's laws to predict how my car behaves. I can use quantum physics to predict how my CPU will behave. I can use general relativity to predict mercury's orbit. What does your system allow me to predict accurately?

Well, I think the problem is somewhat more subtle, but to an end effect that's the same. That is, it's useful to have people trying new things, and even throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks. Interesting new ideas come out of that. The problem is that you don't want that to necessarily be the de facto strategy for your accepted solutions to problems, and definitely not how a major player in your ecosystem routinely progresses.

If Linux was a research experiment with exposure but little use compared to the other Unix systems, we would probably all look at it much more favorably, not because they are doing things right, but because they are willing to try crazy shit that we would all get to see the post-mortems for. The problem is that Linux is not some semi-obscure OS, so instead of these experiments being interesting reading for the weekend, we're often forced to become users of them, whether we like to or not.
Seems like it... this can't possibly be legal, right? Surely the company should be forced to liquidate to make customers whole again, or issue debt/equity to get the money. I'd love to read a take on this from someone with a better understanding of the regulatory environment Bitfinex is subject to.
It can be fixed with biotechnology.

1. A device that allows knowledge uploading would make most of education obsolete - everyone could know everything there is to know (which is not the same as understanding, but I don't think it's possible to teach understanding anyway, only help someone understand).

2. An equivalent of a drug gland from the Culture series would fix most mental problems, especially motivation and lack of self discipline.

3. An implantable electric powered CO2 to glucose/triglycerides converter would decrease basic survival costs by orders of magnitude, at the same time freeing lots of agricultural land for other use. With no risk of starving everybody would be much more entrepreneurial.

1 requires sf technology, but 2 and 3 is 'just' an engineering problem.

> It seems that you insist that it can't be trivial, but you're not familiar with OSA and how e.g. Cocoa handles scriptable GUI apps.

> [...]with "dictionaries" (e.g. XML definition files) you can expose to a scriptability layer (accessible from AppleScript, Javascript, Python and all kinds of apps) any class or element in your app, quite simply.

There you go. The mechanics of how this works is non-trivial. I would say it
seems quite complex at this point.

Trivial would be if all it was to this scripting was "just this simple thing",
like executing a program exactly the same way as always, but with provided
command line parameters this time. Now you say "Python", so it must be first
implemented by the author of GUI program, then exposed in "e.g. XML definition
files", and then something (Cocoa, as you say) must transport some
messages/calls from user's code to scripted program's code (how? through some
kernel way? user-space bus? something different?). How this is trivial
mechanics?

>> Command line tools rarely are long-running things you need to interact with.

> All kinds of deamons and servers are command line too, not just things like ls and grep. And these you want to interact with over their long-running lives.

But daemons are not command line tools. Command line is just a way to start
them under unices. Under Windows it's a totally separate type of programs
("Windows services"). Even aside from that, daemons are not normally called
for one-off tasks, but to provide services. This means you already need
a communication channel for such a daemon.

> Same goes for tools with heavy initial startup time (e.g. a statistics tool that needs to load some data set, etc).

And what do you need/want to script in this statistics tool that loads plenty
of data while it loads this data at its startup?

> You can know those concepts at the GUI level (including abstractly).

Current working directory? ROTFL. The whole point of GUI is to hide this
concept, and you tell me one can learn it from GUI?

> In fact there are computers that don't have these at all (most smartphones, the iPad, etc),

Sorry to break your little utopia apart, but "most smartphones" run Linux or
generally work with hierarchic filesystems, which is totally opposite of "no
current working directory".

>> But then they need to learn much about their IDE, which is as large area as basic proficiency with command line

> Yes, but that knowledge is specific to their task (which is to learn programming).

It's not specific to programming, it's specific to their tool for learning
programming.

> "cp" and "ls -lah" and "rm" are not -- they already know another way to perform those tasks.

And that's why I don't insist to use them or even learn them. What I insist is
to learn how the compiler is called, what to feed it with (text/plain, with
any editor, not just heavyweight IDE), and how to execute freshly produced
binary.

Agreed it was a mistake on my part, I'll fix it up shortly to include only exit nodes.
Really? Sometimes I want to stand.

Buses are also great if you have a stroller. Or are in a group.

Most buses (at least where I live) are wheelchair accessible.

From a utility standpoint, if I have to stand then there are 30 or more others in the same bus. That corresponds to 20+ individual cars. The high density lines go every 10 minutes, with an accordion bus. Assuming worst-case standing is frequent then there's something like 60+ people, meaning that one bus is equivalent to at least 40 cars.

Bearing in mind there's already other street traffic.

In other words, the worst case scenario for a bus means that the worst case scenario for the alternative leads is more street congestion.
I broke my original, and have been considering a new one. 50 dollars extra to fix those rubbery keys... not store its worth it. Then again I am on windows now, so I end up using the function keys more.
I think our definition of homogeneous might be different then. I have file-servers, web-servers, app-servers, etc, and I would consider my environment homogeneous. I use the same base-os, and I can reuse the same scripts for each type of server because of how modular my system is. For my setup, just using shell scripts works much simpler and easier. But I'm also not advocating that shell-scripts will work for everyone. For many situations, a full-fledged config-mgmt system is the better solution. I've just never been in one.

I've never really looked in to BTC because here you can sell dollars much easier. Although I can see that as a good way to receive dollars for those that do not have any other way.

Right now, $1 = $1004 VEF
I see that 1 BTC = $583.79

From localbitcoin.com I see people selling in Venezuela at around 628000.00 VEF / BTC. So the price is the same.

I think what's going on, is they are calculating the price of the dollar at one of the govt rates of 645 VEF per dollar.

That's not realistic. Anyone with dollars in Venezuela is going to sell them at the black market rate of VEF 1000 per dollar.

Of course, the black market rate is illegal here and the government even went so far as blocking the black market rate information websites here. That's their idea of economic policy.

EDIT: Just realized, surbitcoin rate is around BsF 600k per Bitcoin. We use the dot (.) as the thousands separator.

>Bernie’s goal is to ban private prisons. Hillary has a similar goal, but takes money from prison lobbyists. Does this make sense to you?

Well, considering that private prisons are banned in the state of NY but not VT. Yes.

Also, the 'private prison donations' is very loosely connected.

They were bundlers, who worked for a lobbying firm, a firm that got 0.35% of it's money from private prisons. But, that doesn't matter, as they money they raised came from people outside of the lobbying firm and outside of the private prison industry. As that is what bundlers do. If he called me up, and I sent in a check, how is that "private prison money"? It's not, it'd be tied to my industry/job instead. source: https://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/firmsum.php?id=D000032306&...

The only actual money she got from an actual PP lobbyist, was given to a charity, and it totaled something like $8,600.

This is similar to how she was connected to the 'oil and gas' lobbyists. People would say Ben Klein, a bundler, represented "oxbow" an oil company, therefor hillary gets money from oil. What they don't tell you is his firm only did 60k worth of business with oxbow (<0.8% of their revenue). But their #2 business was Brookfield Power, aka Brookfield Renewable Energy Parters. Who do Hydro. Yet, Mr Klein, is an "oil lobbyist". Source: https://www.opensecrets.org/lobby/firmsum.php?id=D000034396&...
