As I walked home from work yesterday I was listening to a podcast about economics which mentioned that the Trump brand has been permanently devalued by his campaign -- people no longer want to stay in a Trump hotel, for example. And people have been leading efforts to drive potential students away from his "Trump University", and potential customers away from his other businesses.

It's possible you haven't seen such efforts, but that is not identical with "no efforts are occurring".

> that RenTech and Thiel are supporting Trump.

RenTec is not supporting Trump.

Mercer is.

Simons, for what it's worth, is supporting Clinton. As, I'm almost sure, does the majority of employees. Mercer is the outlier.
For me, as a CEO, hire/fire fast is definitely more costly than a well-designed interview "gauntlet"

Before starting my own company I was a bar raiser at Amazon. Interviews were not supposed to last weeks (though many did and there were internal metrics aimed at driving interview to offer cycle time down).

I'd much rather spend a few hours per interviewer per candidate getting a solid candidate than hiring, onboarding, training, learning the candidate is a poor fit, and ultimately going through the not-fun-for-anyone firing process.

High turnover isn't worth the lost productivity from other employees or the hit to morale. On top of that, while learning whether or not the candidate will make it through the trial, you're burning precious cash.

Learn how to interview and teach your people how to interview. It will save you heartache and money.
Yes that is and has been the way of the world. But we at least like to pretend or want that to be not the case. Also legal system was suppose to be the place to go when in other system (administration and such) fails to protect the poor and weak.
The problem is that you don't need root for GPS spoofing. Botters also don't care about SafetyNet (used to detect root before the game starts), since they reverse engineer the API and make REST calls directly.
Furthermore, there are ways around the root check - mostly involving hiding the su binary and some additional tweaks.
It matters more for economics, because economics influences policy. This despite the demonstrated lack of predictive power.
Are you trying to have payment delivered to a Pakistani bank account? Otherwise, it seems like a US corporation with a US bank account should be able to take payments from US customers, and you could handle the problem of how to get the money to Pakistan separately.
Depends what you mean by electoral fraud. In the US, the only electoral fraud that has a significant impact is one where groups of voters are prohibited/prevented from voting. Pennsylvania is particularly vulnerable to that one due to very broad rules that allow people to question the legality of other people to vote. It's why Trump has been calling PA supports to do exactly that.

Other types of fraud (ballot stuffing, voting multiple times, voting when you're not allowed to etc.) are exceedingly rare, and it would have to happen at a massive scale for it to make an actual impact.

That's just not going to happen, especially with it being a felony.

Politics is about access to power.
Trump's views on women - pieces of meat that which he should be free to sexually assaulted - are a direct attack on the rights and power of women. Rights which were hard won over decades of political engagement.

Likewise his views on minority populations.

So yeah, many of us oppose him in political grounds. Because he's a misogynistic white supremacist, and having such a person in the White House would be a disaster for a huge swath of the population.
This is obviously very cras and opinionated, but there are 2 key points buried in there - the Japanese are distinguished by their willingness to appropriate good things from around the world. This is a huge difference, I find, compared to European countries, particularly France. They also, as he says, care a lot about what they do, and are devoted to food. This has it's downsides, eg try buying a cheap ugly apple in Tokyo, you will fail, the producer threw it away long before it could have ever reached the store.

I think Japan also gets a bit of a leg up over other places because if you have lived elsewhere all your life then you will find food in Japan incredibly novel and fascinating in provenance, packaging, preparation and presentation. When I first arrived I found even just the convenience stores mind boggling in the variety of stuff I had never seen before. The actual food halls are a whole other level from there. It is difficult to have the same experience if you have lived in the West and go to London/Rome/Paris for the first time.
I upvoted you because I don't think you should be downvoted for stating a political opinion. Democracy is about everyone getting a vote, even if the other side thinks your vote is wrong.
> For reference, here is how many people in (not only) Europe view this "great American match":

I have a lot of European/non-American friends and not a single one of them thinks Trump and Clinton are "within rounding error of each other."

It's fundamentally dishonest to compare a run-of-the-mill corrupt politician to someone who openly advocates nuclear proliferation.
You might if you have a disability. Companies can get federal tax credits for hiring disabled.
To be fair, Mac support is also a huge pain, unless you happen to have a Mac.

Just getting a machine to test on is expensive. If you look for Mac OS VMs in the cloud, you find they start at $1 an hour (https://www.macincloud.com/) or around $80 / month (http://xcloud.me/pricing-signup/). Compare that to around $5 / month for a Linux VM.

And then you have to go the whole dance of getting xcode and homebrew just to have a development environment. It's been a few years since I used Mac OS X to develop stuff, but it wasn't intuitive at all back then.
I'd say the std library is built exactly for the "plebian programmer" but such that it scales up well to larger use cases, pretty much exactly how the language itself is designed. I think how they've responded to vendoring package management is a great example of how they do take external feedback, but don't make knee jerk changes, and I really appreciate that.
As a consequence of growing up in a diverse and multicultural society like India, I am fluent in 4 languages (English, Hindi, Marathi and Konkani). I am currently learning French from Duolingo and Kannada from a language book that I purchased sometime back.

Coming to your question, there seems to be no right way to learn a language except for selecting a learning resource and diving straight into it. Some languages are easy and some are quite hard but the trick seems to be in getting familiar with the initial phrases and then learning the grammatical rules. Grammatical and syntactical rules are like the glue that hold the words in place and I would advise you to focus on them. Talking to people who speak the language (can be quite awkward for the beginner) and reading passages aloud will end up helping you as well.

There is no timeline to this and getting fluent in a language is a function of your efforts and the difficulty of the language you have chosen. If the language that you want to learn is on Duolingo, that's the best place to start.
Age based discrimination is a thing, but it is nearly orthogonal to the context in which corporations think about diversity. This orthogonal its is a product of senior folks supposedly expecting more pay, and lack of oversight using age as a metric of diversity.

At the tech giant I work at, older technical folks seem to either climb the corporate ladder a few rungs or get ground into contracting peons. It's not pretty...

I find that a lot of 'new' ideas in computing are just the latest iteration. So there's certainly value in having folks around who have seen many iterations.
Debian is shipping one Linux kernel build that runs on a bunch of different ARM devices that are supported by the mainline version of Linux:

https://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel/ARMMP

Unfortunately most mobile devices are not supported by mainline Linux (N900 is best supported, but not fully), usually only server/desktop/laptop vendors have any incentive to mainline their drivers.

I've definitely heard about direct economic effects for Trump (though I think he'll end up gaining a lot more economically from the massive diehard fanbase he has now built) but why hasn't there been more backlash against Thiel? In my book his cause is a whole lot worse than Eich's.

Would you feel comfortable working at Peter Thiel's company?
I think to some degree everyone is biased. Even if you say you don't care about age there's still some part of your mind that accounts for that when 'you' decide you like someone or not, whether that's negatively or positively.

Affirmative action isn't the solution either, because that's just introducing more bias into the equation. More discrimination cannot beget less discrimination in this case.
It is like the old days of home computers.

We had Z80, 6509, 68000 and so so, but everything else that was plugged into their pins was different.

So it doesn't matter if the Assembly is the same, the kernel also needs to talk to the hardware.

Also ARM just resells the base designs, each company usually adds they own set of Assembly instructions or fine tunes the designs in some other way.

The IBM PC clones were the only ones that had some kind of standardization going on, and even that seems to be gone now, with OEMs going to the same kind of hardware designs we used to have (everything bolted on the board).
This is brilliant. (Mubi is apparently similar, which I hadn't yet seen.)

From a user's perspective, this is ultimately the best case scenario for siloed content. The editorial perspective offered by the steaming service provides a value added that Netflix demographic research just cant -- it offers, to some extent, access to the canon. Also, this eliminates the awful feeling of browsing endlessly looking for something to find.

From the companies' perspective, this allows them to pick and choose which films they acquire the steaming rights for, and to do it for only a limited time, similarly to how TCM and Criterion operate in today's market. They're at a HUGE financial advantage to Netflix. They aren't trying to cater to tons of demographics, they're offering a critical perspective.

What would be truly interesting is if one of these smaller, more nimble streaming services started to get involved in the actual production of film (a la Netflix), rather than just film criticism.

Netflix Originals are great, and they've done amazing work, but ultimately they suffer from the same fatal flaw as the film studios, the same failure to produce mythology. Films produced through demographic research and testing ultimately can never transcend commerce; they can only tell viewers things they want to know.
> Italian and French cuisines are the best in the world.

Highly subjective, but a lot of people would agree on this.

I'm sorry, but offhandedly dismissing "these dishonest polls", when, frankly,

1. They're the best data we have

2. We have no reason to believe they're incorrect

3. There is REALLY no reason to believe they're dishonest

Is 100% intellectually dishonest.

This is exactly what happened 4 years ago, and apparently some people have not learned from their tremendous mistake.

If you want to know why "turnout at a campaign event" is a crappier metric than "real actual scientific data", I don't know how else to help, other than to point to other instances in which it has failed:

"Mitt drawing larger crowds"
http://www.politico.com/story/2012/10/mitt-drawing-larger-cr...

"Donald Trump continues to draw YUGE crowds. That matters less than he thinks."
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/09/28/do...

"Trump brags about crowd size but will it turn into votes?"
http://bigstory.ap.org/article/d74fbd472f7a420a90737e55cfb20...

I do not know or care who you support in the Presidential election. However, I suggest you get realistic about your metrics, as you're way off in fantasyland at the moment, as far as I can tell.

If you turn out to be incorrect, I hope you learn from this experience. I know I will, if the data turns out to be wrong.

A polyglot marketed his method a couple years ago that makes sense to me.

>But basically: buy a Lonely Planet phrasebook. Learn full phrases off, use them. Get courses like Assimil, Teach yourself, Colloquial and use that for a little bit more of a base. Use it. Practice a tonne. When you are somewhat comfortable in the language, then (and only then) study some grammar to tidy it up. Practice more.[1]

I imagine starting with common phrases and pronunciation cuts through the learning curve.

Niantic is not beholden to anyone to release anything, add any features, or do anything.

Its their game.

If you don't like it, either a) don't play, or b) make something better.

It's a testament to the compellingness of the AR game genre, and the brand recognition that Pokemon has they so many people are willing to put so much time and effort into the game despite how primitive it is.

People calling for an open API are fooling themselves. Why on earth would they give away the keys to the kingdom?

Hacking the protocol and the cheaters created this situation.

They have only themselves to blame for it. Cry. Me. A. River.

You might say that serious cheaters can bypass the restrictions / measures, but clearly from the fuss (and that fastpokemap is still down), its doing the intended job pretty much spot on.

Realistically, nothing is going to change, unless someone starts offering a compelling alternative to drive innovation.
Yes, she has. Hence why she is lower than the normally acceptable candidate. It doesn't make her equal to Trump, though.

1. Clinton has a platform that is static (even if it's crafted and not a personal belief). Trump's changes with his mood and is unclear on even the basic principles and topics he chooses to focus on.

2. Clinton has shown she can keep a level head, which is important when an outburst affects millions of people. Trump has not in the slightest.

3. Clinton has shown that she can hold a high position of power and not have the world blow up (quickly).

4. Clinton has shown an ability to be relatively truthful and consistent. When she lies, she carefully crafts them, even going so far as to avoid definition lying. We now have the email chains to back that up. Trump has trouble sticking to basic facts.

Again, Clinton is objectively worse than the majority of candidates. I think at this point, if you gave the US the option to elect Romney in lieu of voting for Trump and Clinton, you would have major support on both sides. Heck, at this point, (Romney = Clinton - scandals) in terms of policy.

None of this touches their specific policies or even personal biases such as Trump's sexism, racism, islamophobia and more. Sure, you can say that a candidate's personal beliefs shouldn't affect his policies, but we have seen by Trump's proposals that this does not hold. Trump has not shown the ability to separate his personality from his work - his business is entrenched in his personal workings, even so much in how it operates and his brand is crafted.

If you disagree with that last paragraph, scratch it. The numbered points are plenty difference enough, and again, do not touch policy or personal beliefs of the candidates.
It helps when you aren't in The San Francisco Bubble. I have hired programmers in cities that aren't as flush with talent (Dallas, for one example), and make no mistake: age made absolutely no difference. We just wanted good programmers. I think we'll see more of that in the US over the next few years, too.
I live in Osaka and it is an amazing place! I go to Tokyo a few times a year and it's clearly inferior. People here are really crazy about food.
No, diversity is doublespeak for women or black people.

I am not sure about the gourmet scenes in tokyo (I am a poor grad student), but in terms of groceries, they are the best. You can get extremely good quality beef from shops like daiei.

the most unusual stuff I have seen was in 7/11, I don't know how they cook such good quality oden, and even they keep very good quality sandwiches, weird, because to eat something quick and cheap people generally don't mind the quality so much, and the bathrooms are squeaky clean (the public hygiene sense in the us is still primitive if you compare with japan's). 7/11s also keep good onigiris, kara-ages.

tokyo street foods are also amazing, but a dinner at a mediocre restaurant will rip off your pocket.

I think people should be able to publish whatever they'd like. Honestly, I don't fully follow Fiske's argument. There are too many undefined phrases and an explicit unwillingness to use any examples.

I'd believe many engage in ad hominem arguments and abuse. I'd also believe that many engage in arguments of authority. I'd even believe that possibly most people who call themselves scientists make those arguments from time to time.

The thing about ad hominem and arguments from authority is that they are extremely easy to defeat. One simply needs to point out what is happening and continue going.

Correction: 75% of Republicans, 40% overall. He seems to have a fairly hard ceiling. His support among Republicans is shockingly low, but likely to rebound a bit to keep it from being a total blowout.

The Spirit and Opportunity rovers are both solar powered and weigh 400 lbs, so I think they could have made it solar powered. That said, they really should allow RTGs.

The reason they give is as follows:

Schiaparelli is primarily designed as an entry, descent and landing technology demonstrator, and therefore does not carry solar panels or radioisotope thermal generators to supply power over an extended period. It is only intended to survive on the surface for a few days powered by batteries.

I don't see what's peculiar about that. I've experienced this phenomenon with objects right in front of me when I wasn't sure what I was looking at. One time while riding a motorbike on a wet sand dune a colour gradient appear to be a slight decline, but it was actually a sharp incline, resulting in a rather sudden change of velocity and me headbutting the handlebars.

There are countless other illusions we could talk about too, none of which seem all that peculiar to me, even if they were to be observed on another plant.

Furthermore, most of the "Clinton = corrupt" stuff has been played in the US far harder than elsewhere in the world.

In my formative years, it seemed like I couldn't go a week without hearing a new "scandal" that the Republican party wanted to foist on the only President I really knew as a politically-conscious person.

I'm not saying they were dishonest or wrong, I'm just saying it felt a bit too much like the boy who cried wolf. It's hard to even bother paying attention to yet another person trying to claim another Clinton "scandal".

Especially when the people pushing it support, well.... Someone who literally parrots back every slight used against him to be used against his rival. I didn't realize "I'm rubber, you're glue" was a campaign strategy.
