That website is frankly misleading. Their classifications of "overhead" are ridiculous. Look at the actual filing from the Clinton Foundation itself: https://www.clintonfoundation.org/sites/default/files/clinto...

Page 18 and 19. Out of a budget of $217 million, they spent $34 million on direct program expenditures. That's about 16%, not 88% as your link would lead us to believe.

Additionally, what is this money spent on?

Clinton Global Initiative, Clinton Presidential Center, Clinton Development Initiative, Clinton Health Matters Initiative, Clinton Giustra Sustaninable Growth Initiative

A little self-serving, don't you think? And what percentage of the money going to those initiatives do you think are spent on directly charitable causes?

No one should be under the illusion that the Clinton Foundation is a charity. It isn't. It's a slush fund for political purposes. Look at how mismanaged the billions of dollars for Haiti has been if you want to see how charitable the Clintons are (spoiler: nearly none of the money has actually been spent on Haiti, and virtually none of it on direct relief).

The problem here is that among the multitude of emails / requests a working professional goes through everyday, you might often just end up being noise. Cold emails are usually ignored when there is no context to the request; the attention span given might be only a few seconds and frankly, only a little thought would go into your "valuable" proposition — there are too many of them that land in the inbox everyday and not to forget, a "brief call", unlike a small response, is a good commitment to ask.

Of course, the success rate won't be zero and you are bound to get your foot into the door in some companies but set expectation should be of getting a cold shoulder many many times.

The success rate, however, can be tweaked by —

a) Being a bit influential (like, having many Twitter followers or a somewhat famous blog)

b) Establishing a context. (hey, I read your piece about the SPECIFIC PROBLEM and that's something we're working on).

c) Writing something that puts you way above the crowd. (my friend often used to read people's Twitter and LinkedIn profiled before requesting anything. Like, "Hey. I read how you recently paid off your education loan. Mine is still pain in the ass")

I understand that if the problem is super-relevant to the business, they might agree in a whim but usually, it won't be the case. I am not undermining the value of the approach, but it's just not that simple as often portrayed.

The problem is one side of that is ALWAYS marginalized, right? The difference is she's pulling support because it's her side this time.
You tend to ignore the fact that foreign policy is not dictated by one person alone. Yes the secretary has a lot of say, but not ALL the say in these matters. The decision to have those countries as strategic allies is a country-level decision. The sale of weapons etc. is a result of that decision.
>Project Include has the right to choose who they associate with.

As does anyone else who blacklists.
>is this worse than Hillary dramatically increasing weapons sales to Saudi Arabia and Qatar

Your premise is bogus. There's no reason to think Hillary Clinton is personally responsible for an increase in weapons sales, especially considering that such sales increased across the board under Obama.

>Hillary voting to invade Iraq

Her own floor speech before her vote said she was voting yes precisely to give Bush leverage to reinstitute inspections, not as a blank check to war.

The point is that geopolitics is complicated, and judging it in the same way as judging someone's private behavior is plainly absurd.

Er, if you have a justice system that requires proof of innocence rather than proof of guilt, that is a bigger problem than any line-drawing around the boundaries of rape.

If there is not consent (or capacity for consent) at the time of the act, it's rape. In any reasonable justice system, the proof problems that come up, in certain situations, with that clear definition weigh in favor of the accused, since they make it difficult to prove that sex occurred without consent.

To perhaps go against the grain a little here, I appreciate a focus on customisation from the start.

I am beginning to use Vim more, mostly because I was introduced to the keybindings with Vim emulation from other apps, and I appreciate how it works. I had previously attempted to learn Vim through the normal ways, but it just was impossible; by default, Vim for me is barely readable and none of the included colour schemes ever made it any better. Plus, of course, some of the other things like size of tabs, line numbers, often even syntax highlighting. But finding out how to deal with plugins, themes, settings, etc. is difficult when you aren't already introduced to Vim, precisely because most people make the assumption that you've learned Vim "as is" already.

I think some concession has to be made to modernity. Vim is very old and "as is" it often just doesn't function very well for everyday use. Grinding through that until you know it well enough to be given the knowledge of how to make it nicer to use isn't worth it to most people. It certainly wasn't to me.
In one case you're talking about a person and their personal actions in a personal situation.

In another, you're talking about a person who is tasked with carrying out orders and directives to do what they think is in the best interest of the country regardless of their personal feelings about the decision.

I'm not saying I condone what our government has done, but I do understand that people in government are carrying out the will of an elected governance, even if they make stupid decisions in doing so.
It's easy to end up at authoritarianism when you combine access to everyone's information, and an inherent belief in your own superiority and ability to "make the world a better place." The real surprise is that we haven't seen more of it.

We don't disagree. The SOPA decision was both a business decision and a political decision. Any decision a business makes is a business decision, regardless of whether it is also a political decision.

The decision YC is making about Thiel is also both a political decision and a business decision.

YC companies aren't exactly multi-thousand-employee affairs. When you disinvite a YC company, you're really making a value judgment about its founders.
It may be worth noting that Goldman Sachs recently banned all of its partners from donating to the Trump ticket, as of September 1, 2016. They can still donate to Clinton. [1]

NOTE: Technically, they banned contributions "to state and local candidates running for office, as well as state or local officials running for federal office." as of September 1, 2016. Since Mike Pence is a sitting state official, it means that Goldman partners can't contribute to the Trump-Pence ticket.

Wow, the world is getting way too fractured between left and right. Reading that, the YC folks make out that Trump is a monster and any affiliation with him is evil. Come on, try to understand why people are supporting him. I don't think it's racism and sexism that's driving this, it's the wedge between left and right. Combine that with the two party system and people find themselves with little choice. When you vilify everyone on the other side there is little chance they'll come over to yours.
Woah that was totally unexpected

"...there was a study done that showed that if a knife man was armed and within 21 feet, he will be able to attack a gun man with the gun in the harness."

This is commonly referred to as the "Tueller Drill", after a trainer who first published the phenomenon:

"How Close is Too Close?" by Dennis Tueller:

http://www.theppsc.org/Staff_Views/Tueller/How.Close.htm

Interpretations of Tueller's findings vary a great deal depending on the role one plays in an interaction and one's intent. For example, one might conclude that police should e.g., "shoot anyone within 21 feet who has a knife.", "One shot and they're out of action." or "Anyone outside of 21 feet and carrying a knife can be disregarded."
and so on. But those 3 statements are not necessarily true and one must analyze further:

"Re-Thinking the 21-Foot Rule":

"The Tueller Drill Myth: Why The 21 Foot Rule Isn’t a Rule At All":

http://www.itstactical.com/warcom/firearms/the-tueller-drill...

Google discussion of the Tueller Drill:

https://www.google.com/search?q=tueller+drill&client=opera&h...

It is quite astonishing how a simple experiment has revised thought about the old adage "Don't bring a knife to a gunfight!" Indeed it appears that within the 21 foot range, someone without a knife could be effectively unarmed (even if they have a gun).
> To them, supporting Trump and Clinton are equally bad

No, to us destroying a person for their political views is disgusting, even if we disagree with them.

A person should not lose their job, their status on a board, their inclusion in an event, etc. based on who they decide to support politically.

That's disgusting and people who support that sort of witch hunt should be ashamed of themselves.

I vehemently disagree with his choice of who to support during this election, but I find the calls for his head even more repugnant. That sort of intolerance should have no place in a civil society.
" it's we don't have the risk tolerance. If you disappear, or get purchased and stop offering your product, or decide not to fix our bugs because they're too niche to us, I don't want to be hung out to dry."

Lots of examples. Convergent's CTOS, OpenVMS temporarily, QNX's "open" source, most desktop OS's, many commercial compilers, and recently FoundationDB I had hopes for. I simply don't use something commercial unless I can export the data out of it easily to an OSS alternative that I have ready-to-go. Also need to regularly export and test that data as the closures or licensing changes sometimes happen without warning.
What are these searches? I mostly see AMP on sites found through Google News (or other aggregators like HN).
Not to mention "single issue voting" has become a huge trend in this country. Do you know any friends who are LGBT who will vote democrat just because of gay rights, but on any other day of the week are fiscally conservative?

I'm sure there are more than one of those people voting for Trump because of some issue they disagree with Hillary on, or some single issue they disagree with Trump on.
There doesn't seem to be enough room in everyone's brain to appreciate a new story in the news every day. I'm amazed at the exposing of the game and how it's played. The proliferation of all this information is making it impossible to hide how the narrative is constructed by government and media. The back-scratching is deafening.
I don't get how you can be so cognizant of the problem of misaligned values while at the same time having an unquestionable faith in the value of diversity. How can you avoid cognitive dissonance here, except through a very shallow understanding of diversity that assumes all people or groups of people hold roughly the same values and beliefs and that where they differ, the difference never results in unresolvable incompatibility?

How is your reading comprehension this bad?

1. Your understanding of the comment here is miserable given the point you are trying to make. If you should find anything suspicious, it is that the 2nd set of e-mails, with a broader search, included e-mails that should have been turned over previously but weren't. If you want to go down that angle, you think the Benghazi committee would sit on those e-mails and not say anything if there was anything particularly salient in them?

2. You have an issue that State is considering whether releasing POTUS e-mails are subject to executive privilege and should be cleared first?

A newly married Microsoft software engineer is driving to visit his wife and her family somewhere in the mountains of Europe. He calls and says "I'm about 30 minutes away". Later he calls and says "I'm about 37 minutes away". A few minutes later he calls again and says "I'm about 5 minutes away". After about 30 minutes, he calls again and says "I'm about 2 hours away". His new wife's father grabs the phone and asks "you're the guy who designed the Windows progress bar widget, aren't you"?

A mechanical engineer, an electrical engineer and a Microsoft software engineer are riding in a car going to a conference. They start down a hill and the brakes go out, and the car crashes into a tree. Luckily, no one is injured, and they all get out of the car and start trying to figure out what happened.

The electrical engineer looks at the car and says "Hmmm, must have been a short-circuit in the ABS electronics."

The mechanical engineer says "no, no, it must have been an over-pressure situation with a brake line, causing the line to burst and allowing the brake fluid to leak out."

They both look at the Microsoft guy who had been quiet so far and ask "what do you think"?

He looks at the car and say "I don't know - let's push the car back to the top of the hill and try it again".

I don't think the incentives quite work that way. When cars can be utilized at ~90% instead of >10% as they are now, that will make them useful for people who didn't previously use cars. Senior citizens who are too old to drive themselves, people who are too scared to drive or too bad at it, families that can only afford one used car, city dwellers who don't have parking spaces, probably more.
>Due to his videos of ACORN workers allegedly aiding a couple in criminal planning, the U.S. Congress voted to freeze funds for the non-profit. The national scandal resulted in the non-profit also losing most private funding before investigations were completed. In March 2010, ACORN was close to bankruptcy and had to close most of its offices.[1] Shortly after, the California State Attorney General's Office and the US Government Accountability Office released their related investigative reports. The Attorney General's Office found that O'Keefe had misrepresented the actions of ACORN workers and that the workers had not committed illegal actions. A preliminary probe by the GAO found that ACORN had managed its federal funds appropriately.[2][3]

This is the best database in the world.
There is NoSQL
In the short term, i.e. for this election, yes. In the longer term, it is a signal to the parties that they are leaving votes on the table, that maybe they could pick up by altering which policies they support.

It really depends how you weight this election vs others coming up. But if you're in, say, California, your vote for President will not swing the state at all -- it's locked in for Hillary. If (and it's a big if) some other party is closer to your preferred policies, feel free to vote for them without a trace of guilt about making your side weaker for this election.
To generalise your point, as a non-USian looking in I'm baffled by the horror that many express towards Mr Trump as a potential President as if he is so much very different from anyone else operating in that stratum.

I don't think that anyone able to rise to the top-tier of politics, in any large country, is going to be a 'nice' person. Perhaps not even a 'decent' person. They've had to fight and claw and backstab their way up there, throwing plenty of people under the bus. All driven by personal ambition and a lust for power and control. And once they're there, they'll do everything they can to stay there.

Perhaps anyone who wants to be President should be immediately disqualified.

This is a good read about the topic: http://overheadmyth.com/

"In 2013, GuideStar, BBB Wise Giving Alliance, and Charity Navigator wrote an open letter to the donors of America in a campaign to end the Overhead Myth—the false conception that financial ratios are the sole indicator of nonprofit performance. For our second letter, released in October 2014, we invite the nonprofits of America to do their part to focus donors’ attention on what really matters: your organization’s efforts to make the world a better place. We ask nonprofits and the social sector at large to join us as we move toward an Overhead Solution."

"In late 2011, Hillary Clinton’s State Department was formally clearing the sale, asserting that it was in the national interest. At press conferences in Washington to announce the department’s approval, an assistant secretary of state, Andrew Shapiro, declared that the deal had been 'a top priority' for Clinton personally."

> The point is that geopolitics is complicated, and judging it in the same way as judging someone's private behavior is plainly absurd.

Absolutely, but as a society I'm not comfortable with just writing off a million deaths under the guise of "it's complicated." In my personal opinion, making the comparison and deciding that Hillary is less bad is completely reasonable, but not making the comparison at all is what's absurd.
The "mean things" Trump has said are largely confessions of doing "mean things", and things for which there is considerable additional evidence of him doing them. Whether it's sexual assault, or quid pro quo bribery.
> "this isn’t a disagreement on tax policy, this is advocating hatred and violence."

Also to this point: Trump has been attempting to delegitimize the election. This is very dangerous. If he has evidence of "rigged polling places", he should share that evidence. But inciting myths is dangerous for our democracy.
>Cleaving off 40% of America

I'm going to be a bit pedantic; that's 40% of eligible, who intend to vote, and self select into responding to polling. That is nowhere near 40% of Americans. Its important not to conflate relative support of political candidates with American sentiment at large, sometimes they diverge strongly.

But I more or less agree with your general point. But I would counter that while we are at the height of political fractiousness, it may not be worthwhile to spend a lot of time trying to convince people. It may be more effective to succeed with good ideas, like trade and liberal immigration, and pluralism then invite your former opponents to enjoy the benefits later. Maybe...
This, I feel, is so accurate and is why I bristle when people call me a "software engineer". I do not feel like an engineer as I went to a university with many engineering degrees (my degree was from the mathematics department) and I have friends who are actual engineers (not in the train-sense, in the "constructing things" sense). Very little of what I do in software conforms to what I would consider engineering practice.

I'm not suggesting that there aren't software developers who construct software with an engineering mindset. I just see so few of them.
