We have checks and balances in place. Trump would be gridlocked for 4 years.

Hillary however has a paved road ahead of her, and what will be branded as a "mandate".

I am truly scared of what this country will be after 8 years of her rule.
The Guardian also published a really good article explaining how blue-collar workers are hurting because of their jobs being off-shored, and how Trump's promise to end free-trade agreements and bring those jobs back to the US is the biggest reason behind his appeal:

A Short Primer on the Thiel Dust-Up
Yes, and later on the entire Delphi ecosystem frowned on not making the source code to third party components available in at least some form, so most did. Borland originally set the stage for this by including the source code to the entire RTL/VCL in Delphi, which continues to this day.
> As a 23 year old I can only imagine what it was like to live through the cold war with the colossal fear of nuclear annihilation soaking into every activity/decision.

If they had Facebook back in the days of the cold war, the country would have gone insane with fear in less than 1 year. Social media is an amplifier for base, brutish emotions.
I think that was your parent's point.
"Except Thiel is saying many of the repugnant things that made Trump popular.

- Thiel wants to restrict immigration to highly educated people. Just like Trump."

Why is this repugnant?

One would expect a country to institute immigration policy that benefited that country. If it is the case that some immigration restrictions are beneficial, isn't that a fair and reasonable policy?

Is the only acceptable immigration system random selection? Or are no restrictions acceptable?
You should do some research into the demographics of the various combat arms roles in the US military.

Cyan is not quite the same. Most Russian speakers would classify it as zeleno-goluboy, i.e. as a mixed hue between green and sky blue. It's right past the borderline where the amount of green in sky blue is enough that it stops being perceived as a pure color.

That's because Bernie Sanders is not in fact claiming that the election is rigged. In fact: he's been a reliable support of Clinton since the primaries ended.
I certainly heard them, at the very least, there was railing against Bernie supporters, not Bernie himself.

His railing against the system regards economics and yes the foray of money into politics. It is in a similar category of statements but is very different than claiming the voting machines are rigged. Yes, some Bernie supporters alleged there was outright voting manipulation, but the Sanders campaign did not directly allege that.
You'll need to source that. Despite some evidence in his later actions, Strom never vocally repudiated his earlier racism. I couldn't find any sources on it.

His filibuster against the Civil Rights Act put him in this position. Had he succeeded, his impact would have been far more detrimental to the rights of those protected under the act today then anything Byrd had/has done.

Both are disagreeable sorts, but Strom's lasting impact would have been much, much worse.

How can you vote for someone that hasn't found a lie or exaggeration he doesn't like. Your making a lot of assumptions that he actually stands for anything he says. Literally denies tweets he's posted days before. Not, people that work for him or variations on how things are presented. out right lies and lots of them.

Next, there is the undying allegiance he expects of all his worshipers...

1. fire all the generals
2. viciously attacks anyone that remotely challenges him.
3. abandoned long standing treaties.

The entire world knows that a Clinton presidency would degrade our already weak relationship with Russia. Russia has said this, pretty much every news source (partisan or not) has said this, and Clinton has openly attacked Russia multiple times.

Trump would improve relations with Russia.
"Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes." (Edser Dijkstra)

Computer science is the study of algorithms - what is described here may be best described as software engineering. As an educator who has been involved in computer science education for almost a decade, I find the code-centric approach described here to be counterproductive.

I have another theory.

What if what we are seeing is that what used to be mainstream media is now niche media, though it is still distributed through the same channels? What if the fringe is the same, it is just that the mainstream no longer watches tv, or that cord cutters are politically similar in a way that upset the previous equilibrium?

Alternate theory with the same implication: what if television advertising has become so marginal that it no longer supports the serious business framework it once had?

Either way, my theory can be phrased as: What if television has become fringe media?
After reading this stuff I now doubt there has been a real election for decades in the US. You see what happens when a guy appears to have a real shot who isn't fully controlled by the elite.

I have no doubt that they will rig the election if the media doesn't get the job done. How else could they let Hillary run? They must be pretty confident that it doesn't matter that most people hate her.
Tapity announces new app design business model
Funny how the "binders full of women" seems so tame today.

I'd be the first to criticize Romney's campaign, but that 'gaffe' was trumped up from the word go. It's a fine way in colloquial English to describe the experience of having collected large stacks of women's resumes with the intent to populate state government with qualified female candidates, which, in fact, Romney did.

It wouldn't have been racist if he said "binders full of minority candidates". It would make just as much sense and be just as anodyne if he'd said in a similar context "binders full of recent graduates", "binders full of men", or "binders full of lost pets".

It blew up because it was a fun way for the media and the opposing campaign to play with his decidedly "square" image by suggesting it had some sexual connotation, which was, frankly, pretty juvenile. Also the '80's called and they want their foreign policy back.

I don't mean to troll here, but I've never gotten anyone to give evidence of these claims. I'm an open-minded person, and evidence speaks loudly to me to change my mind. I fear that there are many who won't allow evidence to change their mind unless their feelings are acknowledged and compensated for first, and I think that's a difficult circumstance to manage and get past, because often that acknowledgement is seen as an endorsement.

I've tried to find evidence supporting these claims on my own, only to discover that there have been fewer terrorist attacks in the last, say, 16 years than in the years before, and better economic standing for minorities in the same period versus before then. I've been able to find a slow but consistent improvement to the overall quality of life of Americans by any objective measure I could discern. It's still subjectively and objectively bad for some groups, but even there, I can only find evidence of a slow but consistent improvement over time.

What am I missing? If I and others can understand that, maybe we can make a difference.

In the context of forced updates, one would be forced to use it (or deal with recovery of what they were doing on their own).

Absolutely. But in these cases, it's acting as a way from recovering from a system exception. The few times that I've recently had a system unexpectedly restart (pulled plug on a laptop with a dead battery, for instance), things like saved browser sessions were great. I just don't like it as the mitigation of negative effects of a system-enforced reboot.

It's a great article, but only describes a very small minority of Trump supporters. The median household income of a Trump supporter is $72,000, well above that of the median voter, or the median Clinton supporter.

It's not slippery slope. The slippery slope fallacy is arguments of the form 'if we allow x, y and z will necessarily occur, therefore we can't allow x'. (Note that the slippery slope fallacy is not a pure logical fallacy, the argument is valid if the slope is, in fact, slippery).

Between two pieces of software with the same function, if the same audit process finds 10 critical bugs in software A, and 100 critical bugs in software B, which do you think is more likely to have undiscovered bugs?

I'd say B, since no bug discovery process is perfect. For example, assuming a ~90% hit rate, you'd expect there is ~1 undiscovered bug in A, and ~10 in B.

(Note that I am not saying VeraCrypt is bad or that you shouldn't use it. I have no idea how it compares to similar software. All I'm arguing is that, ceteris paribus, discovering more critical bugs is at least weak evidence that more undiscovered critical bugs exist, since no bug-discovery process is perfect.)
Red Hat finds virtualization vital for enterprise despite container competition

No "we" don't. Not all of us. Many of us hold the Founding Fathers in deep contempt. There is now DNA evidence showing that Thomas Jefferson raped Sally Hemings. That means that all of Thomas Jefferson's writings, including the Declaration Of Independence, needs to be re-evaluated and perhaps put aside.
This year, China will have their maiden flight for 2 new rockets CZ-5, CZ-7. Launched a new space station: Tiangong2, is making steady progress in their space program.

Russia is developing Angara-5, a new rocket that made its debut in 2014. Russia upgraded in 2016 its soyuz capsule and is working on a new design crewed vehicle.

Europe started developing its Ariane 6 next gen-launcher, following the success of its current Ariane 5.

Europe also landed on a comet earlier this year.

I am less versed in Japan launch schedules, but they also have a strong program.

During this time, US is developing reusable launchers that land on their launchpad.

Space is a global effort and every country is participating in this exploration. Each has strengths and weakness. For instance, USA can land rockets but cannot send crew in space.

There is no more a 'me versus them' situation in space development. Everyone works somewhat together. Russia sends US astronauts in orbit. US refuels the ISS with Cigna cargo. Antares engines are Russian RD-181. The service of the orion capsule is made in France and Germany. The Chinese spacecraft is derived from Russian Soyuz.

100 of which GPU? And how were they connected to each other?

They almost never give enough details to really understand these bold claims. If this is 100 K40s in a 10 Gb/s datacenter, this is old hat.

If this is 100 Titan XPs in Big Sur boxes connected by 100+ Gb/s Infiniband, it's really interesting. I doubt it though.

I suspect the only immediate threat to NVIDIA is underestimating AMD GPUs. 2+ years out, who knows?
> it'll naturally occur that each subdivision is referenced fewer times.

That's true but their relative frequency will not change. Ie. if your only words are warm and cold you may see each of those 6% of the time, but if your have red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple then you will see each one 2% of the time.

But in both cases all the other color related words in the language would be significantly less than 2%.

My "agenda" was a direct response to your comment. You act like I'm trying to change the subject or something.
Anonymous downvotes not withstanding, I'm interested in comments from anyone informed on the subject who's critical of the approach I mentioned. I don't find much discussion on the subject in forums.
Some cultures just stop with "warm" and "cold"

This is where the article (and maybe the underlying studies?) seems to go off the rails:

asked him or her to name each one’s “basic color term”—the simplest, broadest word that described its shade

If I (a native English speaker) were asked in those terms to describe the coloration of an object, I think I'd conclude that I would need to limit my answers to "warm" and "cold". These are certainly color concepts in English, and indeed, as a photography enthusiast I work with them all the time when I edit my photos in Lightroom. So I can't see why they've then broadened the terms out to the more specific red, orange, etc., as more general terms are available.

The article seems to make an overture toward the possibility of thinking in colors even outside of the hue, saturation, and value model that westerners at least seem to think in - which could be very interesting. But the question above also seems to preclude such a discovery. As I read it, "shade" seems to be synonymous with "hue", thus demanding that I follow our familiar model. But if a different word were substituted for "shade", like the generic term "color", I think I would have answered that the most generic words available in English are "light" and "dark". (That, of course, is basically the V in HSV, and not a different model, but still provides another set of possible English terms of broader foundational breadth than "red", "orange", etc.

Not sure about that. Most companies biggest problem is finding talent employees and most experienced engineers will not want to work on a Php codebase especially one full of technical debt due to the variety of other options in languages which compile and miss out on a huge percentage of php problems before you even run basic tests.
As a non American who would probably vote for neither of them, Hillary definitely ranks way higher on my internal psychopath detector. The constant fake smiling, cold and calculated question answering, passive aggressiveness, etc. In short, the traits of a great manipulator. Trump is guilty of some of that too but he is somewhat redeemed by the fact that he seems dumb/naive enough to believe whatever he preaches.
When was it that he repudiated his racism? Because he said in a 1998 interview when asked if he wanted to apologize for running as a Dixiecrat. He said "I don't have anything to apologize for," and "I don't have any regrets." He was also asked if he thought the Dixiecrats were right and said "Yes, I do."

Presumably the OP thought Strom Thurmond was still a racist, which, as those quotes prove, is clearly true.
Maybe. I'm not aware of much precedent for the idea that statistically safer X leads to fewer safety regs for X. Maybe you could draw a parallel with the over-the-counterization of various pharmaceuticals, but I'm not sure that's an analogy that would fill me with hope.
Probably what you're looking for is gVim-easy which is installed along with gVim. It starts in inset mode and the menus give you some idea of the shortcuts available. gVim should also respond to OS shortcuts like C-c, C-v, etc.

Personally I would just run vimtutor in the terminal, watch vimcasts.org and then read the PragProg book.
I agree it's an impressive summary for sure.

However, how does one bring forward the 43% that appears to agree so strongly with Trump there isn't really any common ground to have a reasonable discussion around? How do you go about working with someone that is uneducated, and often proud of this fact, raised to believe all other races are a blight against life as they know it, and often are proud of this, truly believe global warming/climate change is a hoax? Etc etc.

I'm not trying to be coy, I just think that fundamentally those that support Trump are different. My father is a huge fox news watching old-school Italian. He is a die-hard Trump supporter. He isn't educated, he isn't interested in learning why Trump is wrong. He isn't ever going to change his mind and when (hopefully) Trump loses, will be part of the 43% calling the election 'stolen'.

I love the man, he is my father after-all, but I have noticed that he (a life-long Republican) simply doesn't have empathy for others the way I do. When I ask him would he rather have more homeless or no homeless, his first reply back was 'well how much is it going to cost?'. And this is how 'they' think, there is a distinct difference in how he, and i suspect most 'hardcore conservatives' view human life (unless of course it fits their pro-life agenda, then of course they are suddenly lovers of 'life' above all else). Money is more important to them, it always will be, and the idea of helping others is never going to be acceptable (unless, maybe they find themselves in a situation where they need help).

I'm sorry to be so negative about this but I'm quite a bit older than most around here and in my experience it's a losing battle to try to convert anyone to a more reasonable position. The only thing that seems to help is more eduction, more exposure to diverse cultures, and generally not focusing only on one self above all else. But then look at Thiel, and then you have to wonder if it's something more.

> "But in THIS election almost everyone seems to agree that one or both of the candidates are horrible and will ruin everything."

I'd argue that's why it's a great chance to vote third party. Both major candidates are terrible choices, and quite frankly even though people say Hilary is less terrible than Trump, I don't buy it, just look at her track record. If you vote third party in this election, you might not win this time, but you can start laying the foundation for a strong third party to emerge in future elections.
