Theil's not an employee. What are you suggesting when asking where do we draw the line? To require defining how racist is racist enough? I think we all know the line for Trump was crossed. Money is political speech, which Theil can legally do. But no one has to accept his collaboration.
> Not true: social mobility in US is lower than in Europe and Canada.

I can't speak about Canada but I seriously doubt that social mobility is higher in Europe. Again, you can't generalize. It may be far easier to move from a class to another in Germany than for example Italy or France.
Looks more like a ".NET is awesome" list.
> It's part of a wave of populist nationalism that we can recognize in many countries

Who's "we"? Learned economists/sociologists, or internet randomers?

Trump wants to "make america great again", Brexiters want to regain their sovereignty from an unaccountable other; they aren't the same thing.

> in effect, for American Fascism

Which way do you think the country was going before Trump came along? Greater freedom, accountability and transparency of government? Does prism, Snowden etc not mean anything?

I think adventured was responding to your statement "the simple fact is you can't build a unicorn business by taking market share from other businesses" when he said it was blatantly false, NOT that it's not also possible to expand the market. And I think there are plenty of examples of businesses that did become huge by decimating existing players that there is enough data to say you can become a unicorn just by stealing market share.

In AirBnB's case, the only way it can really grow the market is by providing an efficiency that didn't exist before, and in that respect it clearly has: apartments, houses or spare rooms that used to sit empty when the owner was away can now be put to use through AirBnB. That said, I think it's naive to look at AirBnB's cherry picked data and not think they are having some marketshare impact on hotels, especially on the budget side where AirBnB is clearly a substitute good (think Motel 6 vs AirBnb).
This is already happening with internal projects :)

Nobody ever ran for the Presidency of a dictatorship, that's kinda like their defining feature.

I'd point to Putin, Erdogan and Victor Orban as current strongmen who were elected democratically and slowly transformed their countries towards authoritarianism.

The parallels are undeniable: a bit of hatred against the "other", a lot of complaining about the media (and calling for laws to stop their "lying"), the hyper-masculine rhetoric and so on.

This. People need to start demanding that all "strikes" against a country are first approved by Congress and for a limited period of time. The president should only retain the power to attack if there is an imminent threat that can be stopped by a quick response from the president. Even then, it should still be evaluated as soon as possible by Congress to see whether the president's "emergency response" was warranted or not.

And by imminent, I mean the actual dictionary definition of imminent, not "Obamalang" imminent:

> In addition to conducting airstrikes against Isis is Syria on Tuesday, the Obama administration also announced it had also targeted the “Khorasan Group”, a separate al-Qaida-linked terrorist organization. They justified it by claiming that the group was plotting an “imminent” attack on the US. Before last week, hardly anyone had heard of the Khorasan Group (in fact, even their name was classified), so it’s difficult to judge from public information just how threatening their alleged plot really was. But when you add in the administration’s definition of “imminent,” it becomes impossible.

> Take, for example, this definition from a Justice Department white paper, which was leaked last year, intended to justify the killing of Americans overseas:

> [A]n “imminent” threat of violent attack against the United States does not require the United States to have clear evidence that a specific attack on U.S. persons will take place in the immediate future.

> To translate: “imminent” can mean a lot of things … including “not imminent”.

I've never heard of them, but they look pretty competitive on pricing above 4 layers.

The benefit of the budget board houses is when you need a small run of boards for prototyping. OSHPark is great when you want a few 2layer boards under say 6 sq inches. DirtyPCB is great for 2 or 4 layer boards under 15sq inches (10cmX10cm size). You can get ten 4-layer boards at 10cmX10cm for $50, where as pcbcart has that for $250
Did or would Sam Altman support Brendan Eich when he was mozilla's CEO and accused of homophobia?
It takes great bravery to allow your beliefs to affect your bottom line. Thiel has demonstrated this bravery by spending his time, money and reputation on Trump.

Now it's Altman’s turn. If he truly believes that "This election is exceptional. Donald Trump represents an unprecedented threat to America", then Marco is correct that supporting Thiel is against his beliefs. Good on Marco for calling it out to us so eloquently.

Obviously, Thiel is very influential and parting ways with him would be a big deal. It's likely it would cost Altman time, money and reputation. It's possible Thiel will hold a grudge and that will have unknown ramifications that might hurt YC and others.

This is why it's brave.

Business leaders often pretend they aren't choosing a side, when they always are. Be brave Altman. We'll support you.
Right, I was going to point out that one of the main issues with the per-table tally (trigger-based) is limited concurrency, as all inserts/deletes have to modify the same row. Deadlocks (due to updating counters for different tables) are an extreme case of this. The solution (or rather a mitigation reducing the chance of a deadlocks) is having multiple counters for each table (say, 32), and updating only one of them (e.g. based on backed PID). The trouble is that this increases the size of row_counts table.

Another issue with the global tally is that the row_counts table bloats quite a bit, because the trigger is executed per-row and the update creates a copy of the row (so the next invocation has to walk all the previous MVCC copies, causing the long INSERT time). I wonder whether statement-level triggers might be used here, somehow (I don't think so).

> he represents a group of people who haven't been represented for the last 40 years. A group who are themselves excluded from society. A group who experience their own form of discrimination by the likes of Marcos, me and everyone else who are benefitting from the progress of technology, globalization, taxation rules and so on.

I honestly think there's not a good choice in this election, but I find it ironic that the people who regularly make fun of poor people, call them "leeches" etc. want to cut social spending etc. and are known to hold the belief that "you probably didn't work hard enough" are now the ones left behind, "not working hard enough" to pull their own in modern society, yet still advocate for the same things as they were when in control...
I see the divide in this country growing every day.

We aren't electing a king or queen.

It's a single political position that's checked by the House and Senate.

And yet because of the media, because of the Republicans, because of the Democrats, we're no longer Americans. We're a people who are being played against each other for revenue in a popularity contest.

I've never seen people act so terribly to each other on such a normalized scale. The polarization scares me.

Divided we fall.
But it's also about outcomes. As I understand it, Altman considers a Trump win a bad thing for America.

There's no inconsistency between, on the one hand, repudiating Thiel's material support of Trump and, on the other hand, figuring out how to engage Trump supporters and their issues going forward.

The former helps prevent an immediate bad event, the latter builds a future in which America is less likely to fragment further and leave more people on the outside.

Nowhere in these does anybody stop talking to anyone. Altman talks to Thiel and publically disavows Thiel's support of Trump. Altman puts his own considerable resources and thought into talking with Trump supporters to see what's up with them, really. Everybody's talking. Granted, the conversations aren't easy, but they're talking.
Stack Overflow Developer Stories: Replace Your Resume?
The most damning thing to me about this is that Peter Thiel is content to let YC take the flack for him. He knows he's damaging them; that partners are walking away from YC, and it's down to him.

A decent person would walk away at that point, to save YC and take the heat on themselves.

He doesn't. Which makes it all the more odd that sama will still go to bat for someone he a) disagrees with and b) wouldn't do the same in return.
You think the idea that Altman disavowing Thiel would make Trump supporters uncomfortable will persuade me to stop asking Altman to disavow Thiel?
No, you move a group of people, who don't share western values into the middle of the western civilization and this is what you get. Syria is not the only war-torn country on Earth.
I do think things have shifted more than a bit with unbridled campaign donations as "speech". This isn't someone handing out fliers or manning a call bank—if you're helping someone deeply opposed to your politics make money, and they're spending giant piles of that money to aid candidates you don't like, severing business relationships and trying to harm their ability to make money any way you can seems like fair game to me.

Don't like it? Favor measures to strictly limit money's effect on campaigns.
Political criticism would be Sam Altman telling Thiel he disagrees with his views, or better yet donating money/time to his own candidate.

It becomes despotism when someone uses their role in a non-political organization to silence (yes, donations are free speech) Trump supporters.

> I've actually been asked about it on a job application.

It seems like that's probably illegal, though here's hopefully some nuance:

It probably shouldn't be illegal. The parts of the civil rights legislation that reach into the private sector should be probably be repealed/sunsetted. It should be sufficient to have the government actually recognize/implement equal protection under the law. E.g., if the KKK burns down the local shop that serves people of color or is owned by a person of color, the police should bring the KKK members to justice.

To keep going, while it shouldn't be illegal, it shouldn't be encouraged either. The employer has their right to free expression and voluntary association but they should strive/remain-vigilant to uphold the spirit of free speech and tolerance even if the law does not compel them to. For those with such self-discipline, their reward is access to the broader, richer market of rational peoples of every stripe.

Quite common here in Norway as well, especially for cabins and holiday homes. Interestingly, as recently as 2012, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg ruled that landowners were allowed to change the terms of land leases when they came up for renewal, overruling the national supreme court [1]. Before that, they were obliged to offer the exact same terms, adjusted only for inflation.

Good article. Would love if you share thoughts on tracking container density during scheduling and orchestration. Containers on VMs is like going backwards in design. VM tools have made life easy with auto-scaling et all on public clouds, however the future is containers on bare metal. Gets you much higher performance and server density #vmless.
Can't you use the Java lib over IKVM ? Won't be the prettiest but will be simpler and faster than going a custom service and spinning up a separate VM.

Do you have an actual comment on the content of the report, or just low level FUD about its source?

This comment is actually pretty hilarious given the fact that Teneo Holdings, mentioned in the report, was founded by ex Bill Clinton staffers, and had Bill Clinton and Tony Blair as 2 of it's original 3 advisors. Huma Abedin is presently on the Teneo payroll.

If those sorts of ties between people are problematic to you, then you must ABSOLUTELY HATE the Clintons, because the same type of arrangement is how literally everyone close to them got there.
hey now, the blame for Guantanomo not being closed falls directly on congressional republicans, not on Obama's lack of trying. this is the case for most of his failed endeavors (nominating court justices ring a bell?). there's plenty of stuff he does deserve blame for. most notable i think is that although he effectively ended the Iraq war, he rescinded his decision to end the Afghanistan war in 2014. regardless, Obama and Trump are not in the same category in any respect, not even as politicians.

No, they're not the same thing. #MAGA is the American populist nationalist movement. Brexit is the British populist nationalist movement. As you have adroitly detected, they are in fact two different countries.

Sadly, and i know this does not apply to all at the lower end of the income scale, you would be shocked at how some people spend the money they do get. Just get into the home rental business and you will see a world that really needs some fixing.

I am still a believer in that you can move up in society but schools fail to teach people to prioritize their expenditures and to separate needs from desires. It is much easier to stay poor than to stay rich.

I am not sure of the European mindset but I do find a lot of new generations never seem to let go of the need to have the latest stuff. I have relatives in the 75+ range and even they are the stereotype of age, even the stove is older than the kids. Yet the younger generations have bought into an ever in debt lifestyle mostly because they never lived through a real depression or war.
This is a reasonable point.

I should probably have said "don't accept that he's racist or sexist in a way that precludes voting for him". The claim I meant to make is that most of his supporters are not voting for him because they feel that racism and sexism are good. That claim, I think, carries no matter what the breakdown between "he doesn't mean it", "he's racist but I'm not", and "he means it but I don't think it's racist". Certainly, I've seen all three assertions.

My broader point was simply that "but Trump is worse, false equivalence" is absurdly circular reasoning. There are plenty of people (yourself included?) who could make the same charge against Clinton.

For myself, I wouldn't want to be accused of 'tacit acceptance' of the stances of any of the candidates. Everyone running (third parties included) has at least one view or policy that I find abhorrent, so I get personally uncomfortable about the idea that voting for someone means accepting their stances.
> His relationship with Altman is that of an endorsee,

Noted. Should have been careful there.

If you vote for Trump, you are supporting a racist, misogynistic, Islamophobic, anti-LGBTQ fascist. You are in fact voting against the very principles of equality, liberty and diversity that this country was founded on. As such voting for -- much less, actually supporting Drumpf -- means you are endorsing violence against huge portions of the American public (e.g., sexual assault against women, imprisonment of Muslims, Latinos, etc).

Therefore, not only is there nothing wrong with forward looking organizations for excluding people as dispicable as Trump supporters, they have a responsibility to do so for the safety of their members who happen to be LGBTQ, Muslim, female, People of Color and basically anyone else who isn't a straight white male.

It's 2016, about damn time we send a message to the bigots that their hate is no longer okay and we're not going to tolerate it anymore. End. Of. Discussion.
Wag, fingers, wag, then gawp in wonder at the backfire leading to more trumps.
Everything is a spectrum. Such comments obviously refer to the fact that the U.S. gov is far from having the necessary level of transparency, despite Obama's promises to make his administration "the most transparent in history" (everyone remember that one? I'm sure he's still having a good laugh about it every now and then.)
The UK press are spectacularly partisan. Brexit is their greatest achievement.

The US press are more subtly handicapped by believing that the midpoint between partisans is "balanced". The Trump campaign is showing how ridiculous this can become.

Next after the military industrial complex is the for-profit prisons. Vacant cells mean lower revenue and thus degrade profits, executive bonuses and shareholder value. Our education system needs to be geared to produce just enough inmates to occupy the for profit prisons, and enough productive workers to pay for both the for profit prisons and military industrial complex.
