Not that I want to split hair but in the examples you gave:

1) Subjective

This is an opinion, not a fact.

2) Objective

I agree. But that does not make him "objectively" wrong.

3) Subjective

Without starting a discussion about Trump alleged racism, whether or not a somewhat isolationist policy would either divide our country or make American innovation suffer is a matter of opinion, not facts. Some other prominent investors seem to disagree.

Besides, examples in our history would tend to show the contrary (I am referring to Roosevelt policies after the '29 crash).

4) Subjective

Unless SCOTUS rules that his stands are unconstitutional, it's only a matter of interpretation.

Very impressive; congratulations to China on another successful manned launch.

The article reports that their space budget is $2 billion a year, an impressively modest budget (assuming it's accurate).

This should be a kick in the pants to the U.S. to get its own manned space program back in operation, after a hiatus of 5 years.

I live in central Europe. It is really sad to see so many manipulated people in the US by politics propaganda. 90% of people support Clinton/Trump because they dislike the other candidate more. That's it. Why do you offend each other? Both candidates aren't very good, so to speak.

The real problem is the current political system. I would like to see some innovation here on HN, what can be done to unleash the potential of the wisdom of crowds, also in politics, similary what open source, stackoverflow, github etc. did for software engineering.

PS. East Germany producted two awful cars: Trabant and Wartburg. But car owners were not offending owners of the other brand. Everybody knew that the socialist system was bad.

Good point. I was just pointing out that the US constitution itself doesn't provide a protection, as the original comment suggested. You're right that states certainly could place additional requirements on businesses. I edited my post to reflect that. Thanks

This might be questionable. Soyuz (as the name implies) was built in USSR, not Russia.

After USSR dissolved some experts were outside Russia. And since several decades passed most people with Soviet knowledge are already retired.
I think part of the issue with Trump is that--to many people--he's already failed at this. Usually, once a major party candidate wins the nomination, they start moving their positions towards the center in order to capture mainstream/moderate voters. Trump has not done this; in fact, he's tended to do the opposite. He still hasn't backed off The Wall, for instance.

Granted, this is still just "talk," but to people like me, it's indicative of how he tends to double-down instead of moderating himself. I don't have a lot of confidence he would begin moderating himself once presented with actual power.
How Israel Became a Hub for Surveillance Technology
I've noticed this for the past few months. Anything touching the current US election, no matter how engaging, is quickly sent off the front page. I'd guess it'd have to do with a quickly growing "Flame war", either by volume of down votes or flags or both.

Clinton says different things in public than she does to her friends. She also flip flops. This is not trustworthy.

Trump is unpleasant, but at least he talks straight.

I think this could be the last election of its kind in the USA, a two party system that works to produce these two candidates? Someone (Facebook, google, twitter) will come up with a better way of informing the public how unfair the system is.

How is electoral reform view in the US? In the UK it is very popular and there is often talk of STV or something similar.

Uh, what about the if "People acted the same way Hillary did while in office they would be in jail."

This is not hyperbole. Perjury is still a crime (one that got her husband impeached). Her lies weren't to the public, they were to the Justice Department - not knowing that the red "C" stood for classified. Furthermore, her concealment and destruction of her emails were federal crimes (plural).

Not only would this end in discharge for military personnel or removal from office of a government official, but criminal charges and restriction of civil liberties. Of the millions of federal employees, she's proven herself to be in the distinct minority as disqualified to hold a position of authority.

See:

18 U.S. Code § 2071 - Concealment, removal, or mutilation generally

(a) Whoever willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, or destroys, or attempts to do so, or, with intent to do so takes and carries away any record, proceeding, map, book, paper, document, or other thing, filed or deposited with any clerk or officer of any court of the United States, or in any public office, or with any judicial or public officer of the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

(b) Whoever, having the custody of any such record, proceeding, map, book, document, paper, or other thing, willfully and unlawfully conceals, removes, mutilates, obliterates, falsifies, or destroys the same, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both; and shall forfeit his office and be disqualified from holding any office under the United States. As used in this subsection, the term “office” does not include the office held by any person as a retired officer of the Armed Forces of the United States.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I don’t see how anyone could support Hillary, based on her actions.

To believe that's what Assange is trying to do, you'd have to explain away the drip-drip scheduling of the releases and the (often false) editorializing he does with decontextualized snippets from the email leaks. It's not simply that Assange is exclusively leaking stolen emails from Democrats, but the manner in which he's doing it.
You can trust his advice based on his past record e.g. wasn't he the one who told Zuckerberg to abandon his music sharing ambitions and focus on Facebook? Or you could not trust his advice based on his record, e.g. his credulous investments based on "peak oil". Whether or not he wrote a blog post with some whacko (possibly thought experiment?) idea in it has no bearing on the quality of his advice
Widely held beliefs are not necessarily correct; it's strange to hold to that as the standard of what is a reasonable argument for Trump.
He's making a different claim, though. That million/billionaires can donate to politicians and influence the legislation they write. Or that they can donate to SuperPACs, which will air ads that change people's minds about what candidate to support. That seems pretty true.

Trump is suggesting that actual votes are being miscounted deliberately. That the entire voting system of the US cannot be trusted to provide the result the public give it. That's a very different charge, a very dangerous one, and utterly unproven.
So what leads you to believe that Trump is LESS of a warmonger than Hillary?

I see lots of talks from Trump about "negotiate tough" (sounds good), but then a lot about "smash them up" (sounds not so peaceful). Doesn't seem very peace like.
I assume that's what he's doing. Think about that, though: to fuck over America, he'll help elect someone who has promised to kill Edward Snowden.
I don't think the Russians see "over land" as a particularly big obstacle. Right now they just drop their spent first stages on land without much guidance. Before launches from Baikonur, they send out soldiers in helicopters to warn the nomads, and otherwise it's pretty much every man for himself. Salvaging the spent stages is apparently a bit of a cottage industry there.

Just a bit of a nitpick, your overall point here is entirely sound.
This is what I love about HN. A non-USAn can observe without being tarred and ignored as a partisan.

It would depend on which position of Duke's they were talking about. If they say they agree with his stance on race, then yes, they're a racist. If they agree with his stance on tax policy (I assume he has one), then no, there's no evidence that person is a racist. EZ-PZ.
I keep saying that we need something like Creative Commons NC license for OSS with a payed commercial relicensing. No, I understand, it's not free software anymore, but it's still open source. AFAIK none of the common OSS licenses support this model - the only way to make money with them is to (a) not use any copyleft dependencies yourself, use something like AGPL and offer a payed relicense or (b) only sell services around your OSS. Correct me if I'm wrong on this.

Now, (a) and (b) work for some use cases, but I'd argue that it's limited, especially usecase (a) because it still allows any 'customer' to use your software for commercial work without contributing anything back other than attribution. What would be nice is some kind of ecosystem around a license I mentioned above, where predefined percentages (that ideally can be set by each license owner) trickle upstream to support their project. Like an appstore for OSS libraries and software where you can register your software and the licenses you offer - if your app is free you don't need to pay anyone upstream, otherwise you keep (1 - x - y - z) if you used other OSS with this model that have predefined cuts x, y and z.

Leica, IMHO, is pretty much the Rolex of the camera world.

While arguably 'the best' if you choose your criteria narrowly enough, their strongest selling point nowadays is the Veblen factor - they are seen as something special, the pinnacle, the yardstick competitors are measured against. Same goes for Rolex - while making excellent watches, there's hardly any denying that the competition is just as competent at a vastly less unreasonable price point.

(Full disclosure - I am a long-time Leica enthusiast, but I've long abandoned their cameras for (to me) more sensible options - I use a Zeiss Ikon ZM (Made by Cosina) with Leica lenses. The ZM is more rugged, arguably has a better rangefinder and is less idiosyncratic than any Leica body. Just try loading a film in an ZM versus a Leica, for starters)
I'm seeing a lot of people deciding who to vote for by deciding which candidate they dislike less - not which they like more. Is that normal in US presidential elections? This is the first one I've followed.
The audit confirms my suspicions that VeraCrypt is relatively unsafe.

I would also suggest to take into account the fact that, albeit being open source, it is primarily developed by a French security company whose web pages https://www.idrix.fr/Root/ do not inspire confidence in combination with France's history of dealing with encryption. A conflict of interest can easily arise in such companies between the companies or authorities that pay them and the interests of the general public.

Well, my reaction was to check first what they are actually using for interfacing with the radioactivity, but yes, the title brings up exactly the ideas what you describe.

The easiest way to tell is to ask about colors in the rainbow. Obviously, rainbow is actually a spectrum with no clear boundaries, so where the boundaries are placed is entirely down to the culture of the person describing it.

In Russian, sky blue is a distinct rainbow color from blue, but pink is not.

In English, blue and indigo are treated as distinct colors, but this is more tradition than perception (so as to pad the number to the requisite 7).

If you compare the typical representation of the rainbow, you'll see that it has the corresponding difference. Russian depiction of rainbow has pure medium-dark blue between sky blue and violet, and violet is dark:

http://nobacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Rainbow-26.png

(Note that blue in this pic is about as dark as it gets; quite often it's actually lighter - usually, sky blue and blue are closer together than blue and violet.)

English depiction of rainbow has some kind of really dark blue with a strong hint of violet in the same place, and violet is brighter:

The article is a little dated. It was written in the wake of Intel acquiring Nervana and Movidius, which it used as a hook to talk about Wave Computing. Wave was founded a few months before Nervana in 2014, and raised a similar amount of money (~$24M), which is just enough to get to your first chip if you don't waste resources. There are other companies tackling this (Cerberas Sys.) and other technologies that can get you acceleration (FPGAs).
> He never once called all Mexicans rapists

OK, that's correct as far as I can tell. He didn't say "all Mexicans are rapists". You might still want to reflect on how what he did say was nonetheless offensive, not to mention factually incorrect.

However,

> He never once said he wants to ban ALL Muslims from entering the US

this is plainly false. From his website:

"Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country's representatives can figure out what is going on"

https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/donald-j.-trump-...

It's clear that he's not asking for a permanent ban. The parent poster did not say "permanent ban". It's still clearly a "ban" by the plain meaning of the word.

If you're going to defend Trump, at least read what he puts out on his own website.

kthx.
What if all of your comments are terrible? I mean I'm not saying they are, but if your comments are regularly not very productive you'll see down voting but there's no individual actor doing it.
Definitely agree on #1 - even Assange knew there was nothing in the emails which is why there was no "October surprise."

Now they're releasing the emails in parcels to manipulate the 24 hour news cycle - e.g. "More Hillary Emails leaked!"

There's no smoking gun in those emails, and the majority of the "There's a lot there" statements boil down to examples like this: http://i.imgur.com/eRRc02n.png?1

>There is no right or wrong way to vote for third parties.

Sure, I agree with you.

However, if your goal is to make third parties viable long-term in Presidential elections and not dependent on having very unfavorable candidates from the major 2 parties, I would argue that strong local and state 3rd parties are important.
