You can't comment like this on HN, regardless of how right you are and how strongly you feel. Personal attacks in particular are not ok.

Comments need to get more civil as the topic grows more contentious, or else our hope of substantive discussion goes up in flames.

We detached this subthread from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12911145 and marked it off-topic.
I'm waiting for the I TOLD YOU SO post on his blog any second now. (It's up and replete with smug gloating)
Anyone know if this interacts OK with Docker beta? that uses xhyve as well, so before I install both I'd like to make sure nothing breaks.
With the Brexit, many Euro companies near to defaulting and Russia moving troops to its western boarders, you really think Europe is a better place? USA has its fair share of problems, but I would not go so far as to say anywhere else is more ideal for startups (or living). yet.

As much bad emotions as their are going around this election, we don't kill buissness leaders who oppose us (russia) kill political leaders who dissagre us (n. korea), have civil wars taking the lives of thousands (many countries in africa), kill drug users in the streets (PH) or have mass civilaian graves from cartel wars (mexico)
First let me say that I don't smoke marijuana. I'm not a fan.

Now, I'm glad that this happened. Franky, I was sick of so much attention and focus on something so harmless. There are horrific problems in this world that need to be solved, and some high people drinking Slurpees on a couch watching cartoons shouldn't be the focus of our attention. Plus, the tax on this will bring a lot of revenues into the state.
But what if a large number of people actually have done something insane? You seem to refuse to accept this as a possibility.

To my mind, the view that migration should be severely restricted never was dismissed. The present Conservative government agreed, and imposed all kinds of overly draconian restrictions. (I ended up paying several thousand pounds to get my Canadian husband a visa to live here.)

Now the idea that immigration should be even further restricted is mainstream, even though it is mad.

I'm interested in any plans that Farage might have made because it would be evidence that someone on the Leave side of the issue perhaps has a clue.
I don't care even slightly about Putin, the link is as an entrenched dictator Russia's government represents his will. People who dislike Putin are completely reasonable to not want to be part of a country run by the guy.

PS: I find it odd that Dictators get a bad rap when kings get a good one.
There's that picture of him being arrested during civil rights protests.
Evan needs an EXT set of libraries for stuff not in core just like Matz did. My pain point is forms. Make form generation and client side validation easy and everything else will follow.
Exactly give the man back what he has sown! He has catered to hatred and divisiveness. That is what he should get back.
Lieberman comes to mind. Senate Democrats needed 60 votes to overcome Republican filibusters on anything. This meant Lieberman, the Senator from Hartford, had veto power over anything. Obama campaigned for his re-election and Lieberman campaigned for McCain.

That Lieberman.
I believe in education, but it's not a panacea. No amount of education will help someone who just isn't cut out for a white-collar job.
Crikey, couldn't you pre-warn them so that they could go clean for a bit?

What an absolutely laughable policy. You'd have to fire half of bloody London if they tested for charlie.

I'd massively kick off at HR for this if I couldn't hire someone for this reason.

At present, there are millions more people with health insurance in the USA than before Romneycare became the law of the land. Especially in the states that implemented the Medicaid expansion provisions.

It could be, but that would add a JavaScript dependency that HN currently doesn't have.
>non-white people will suffer

Please tell me how non-white Americans will suffer from the policies of Trump. I'd think, what with 65k Syrian refugees flooding in and flocking to places like California (where I live) and backed up by policies in to land them unskilled jobs, the minority demo would suffer much more than, for instance, some Americans having their illegal relatives deported for example.
Pro-life is pretty tightly coupled to the idea women don't have the right to manage their reproductive health-> not very equalist[0].
The drug war was started by Nixon inorder to better control the black and hippie population, so not getting any points there[1].

You're left with gun rights which becomes a question of degree. It's thankfully largely divorced from the issues of sex and race, but pretty tightly coupled to regional culture more than anything else.

The fact that Trump won on the backs of uneducated white men certainly says a lot.

The "Linux only BIOS" also works for Windows though so you can dual boot with it. The reason why they say it doesn't is because they don't want to spend money on officially supporting it and AHCI gives a slight performance decrease from their default RAID configuration.
True. The outburst of self-shaming should be humongous for US domestic media. Whats interesting though when you mention the difference between foreign and domestic ignorance: the intelligentia has a more international mindset and keeps to export and confirm ones bias across borders as the individuals wish.

For example, I keep getting baffled by US speakers at EU dev cons, as they sprinkle or finish their talks with their domestic political stances. For example finishing their talk about their dev ops set up out the blue with: "heres a chat room I've opened up for all the LGBT devs here that feel discriminated against". Not only not an issue in most of EU countries but certainly non-existing at the specific con. Very wierd.

The other time I remember one speaker twittering about the blatant racism of a German airline in their safety instruction videos. He managed to be ignorant not only of the context, or of the reference to a beloved German novel (Karl May's "Winnetou") but the whole concept of decency (in that, that you may not get the whole picture if you enter another culture so don't rush to your culture's conclusions). If he had invested the same amount in understanding context as he had in extruding anger, he might have even understood that the "Winnetou" stories are anything but derogatory towards native americans.

Yes it would, but a board who isn't inhibited by sharing the USB and network on the same bus and is supported like rPI wouldn't cost this kind of money. I'm quite surprised about the price (70€ with free shipping over EU), which is very tempting for someone who needs an external drive anyway.

I hope there is more in the future to come in this area to bring the notion of home owned appliances instead of the cloud. Specially with IoT around the corner - those devices should communicate to a home server like this only.
Higher courts' primary function is to twist logic to justify the status quo.
I intend the word "conservative" to describe self-identifying conservatives in US politics today, not to mean any specific dictionary definition. The word neoconservative is perhaps more accurate.
The message focus and the message it sends to people is wrong. The signal is that there are systemic problems that can't be changed because people in power are guilty of having power. "White privilege" falls into a mentality that I call victimization, where instead of people looking at things through the lens of "how can I change myself and be better", they look at it through the lens of "how can others change themselves to help me be better". This is a hopeless signal that doesn't help anyone.

What we should be saying to people is that they should strive to be better because that's the only sure way they can hope to improve their situations. Waiting for other people to help you isn't going to do anything. The only thing you have control over is your own life. If the public discourse around these issues focuses solely on how other people have control and how you have no control, then the situation only becomes worse because then people have an excuse to not try, and they don't.
Re higher minimum wage. (using real numbers here, for the Netherlands)

For a support job, I want to employ a uneducated person. Just answering calls and clicking some buttons. (Could also be a student, no need for any experience etc) Costs me maybe 10 euros per hour. Why a student? Is relatively cheap and it gets the job done nicely.
Now, if the minimum wage would go to 14 or more, what would happen? Would I still employ this student for the same task? Maybe (probably?) not. Maybe I will instead get a 20 euro worker with an education that can not only do support but also some development and can bring knowledge into the company.

Saying that increasing minimum wage solves problems directly is, I think, wrong, because everything might shift.
Obamacare added three provisions in particular that affected my family. Annual and lifetime caps on coverage were banned, dropping sick policyholders was banned, and all plans were required to set maximum out-of-pocket costs.

My family has easily hit the pre-Obamacare lifetime coverage limits and fairly frequently would've hit the annual ones. Our $4k out-of-pocket cap saves us from 10-50k in coinsurance/copays depending on the year. As a result, they'd drop us in a heartbeat if they could.

Soon, it looks like they'll be able to.
Yes, but Hacker News is not exactly a random slice of American voters. I would expect to find some, but not many, Trump supporters who are going to find and use a site like this.
>Re-engineering the social brain so that status doesn't matter?

Status will always matter, but you can change the signifiers of status. There are plenty of places in, for example, rural China where women do most of the work while the men mostly stay home, and yet the men do not lack for status because of that.
True. But it could be a 'progressive dependency' - i.e. you could still do everything you can now without javascript, it would just be used to hide the voting buttons/links/whatever else is dynamic.
> Every discussion of policy in every email was not picking and choosing which positions were the best positions for the country, but which polled the best and basing their platform sporadically on that.

Agreed. But didn't you knew that already? Didn't everyone knew that?

It's naive to think that the reps and Trump don't act this way. He might not have used an army of focus groups, but he knew what people wanted to hear and went for it.

I agree with you that Bernie would have been the best for America, but 5-10 years from now the US is going to end up a worst place with Trump than with Clinton, and it's not the rich or the city folks who will suffer more, but the rural voters who will realize that they did had something to lose =/
I think that it's important to speak out against intolerance, but also to be careful about retreating into righteousness; the groundswell of support for Trump is (probably, since I don't know any better than any of the countless other people who got this election totally wrong) precisely from people who feel that the direction of their country is leaving them behind. As we have seen, insisting that they are right, and that the worst of their attitudes should be left behind, doesn't silence them; it makes them feel forced into desperate action, willing to elect anyone who will (appear to) listen to and validate them.

No, there is some evidence that geriatric mice sharing a circulatory system with juvenile mice achieves that end for a while. The difference between sharing a circulatory system, and getting some transfusions really can't be overstated.
It hasn't in Colorado.

That's something that I know quite a few of us here in Colorado wonder; my friend who owns an upscale dispensary doesn't think anything will change but I'm not so certain. Esp. if the rumors that Trump approach various Republicans with the idea that as Vice-President they'd be calling all the shots. Mike Pence is kind of a wild-card, I really don't know what his stance is on legal mj but the little I have read doesn't inspire confidence that he'll take a reasonable approach to this.
Ditto for Hillary.
Because it's already in place, and some of those folks in the House and Senate might want to get elected again.
They would work quite well on their own. But if the position requires communication between team members, I think they would be toxic. My manager acknowledged this reality during my exit interview. I was the third person added to a team of two, so the manager had not seen this individual interact with other devs before my presence.
I didn't mean to imply that older people are incapable of learning.

However, there are substantial barriers to that demographic to return to an education program precisely because it is a "return". Those barriers are far more social than anything else, yet they remain.
Obamacare required all plans to have an out-of-pocket maximum. That may well go away now.
Yes she's dismissing the basked of deplorables, it's the other voters who don't fit that description she's reaching out to:

"And unfortunately there are people like that. And he has lifted them up. He has given voice to their websites that used to only have 11,000 people — now how 11 million. He tweets and retweets their offensive hateful mean-spirited rhetoric. Now, some of those folks — they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America. But the other basket — and I know this because I see friends from all over America here — I see friends from Florida and Georgia and South Carolina and Texas — as well as, you know, New York and California — but that other basket of people are people who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they’re just desperate for change. It doesn’t really even matter where it comes from. They don’t buy everything he says, but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different. They won’t wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroine, feel like they’re in a dead-end. Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well. "
This. The grandparent is one of the most condescending comments I've read in the last 12 hours, and that's saying something.

The suburban and rural people who grow America's food, get its energy out of the ground, and manufacture what hasn't been outsourced yet don't want anything from people like him. They have too much pride for that—the good kind, not the kind the grandparent has.

I didn't vote for Trump, but I know a lot of people who did, and every single one of them is a decent, hard-working human being. Upon seeing, reading, and hearing the things being said about Trump voters this morning, my brother, a self-employed furniture maker who did for Trump, said, "I didn't know I was a racist. I just thought I wanted affordable health insurance."

The country's political elites dismissed people like him. The outcome of this election is the result. The attitude of the grandparent is how we got here.
How can you expect the millions of marginalized people to just "sit back and move in the direction that has been chosen" when that direction is one that believes they should not exist?
In what way was Clinton dishonest and crooked enough to prevent Sanders from facing Trump? It was Sanders's 4 million vote deficit in the primaries that did that.
Not even remotely close to true. Obama put in a ton of effort into crossing party lines, and was rejected, delayed, lied about - I remember how the discussion of the ACA was going on for months and month and MONTHS of stonewalling, how he went to the Republican retreat to discuss the issue and make some points after most of a summer and fall of obstructionism and demolished Republican arguments effectively enough that Fox cut away from the live broadcast after 20 minutes. I remember the supercommittee, and how the Republican absolutely refused to bend on any of their points, while the Democrats bent on theirs, over and over. The debt ceiling showdowns...

After his first year in office, Obama started getting shit from people on the left because a lot of them thought he was trying too hard to reach across the isle and unify the nation instead of ignoring the obstructionists and getting stuff done.

> Consider that Obama's $787bn stimulus bill of last spring was heavily weighted toward tax cuts, against the advice of many economists, in an effort to win some Republican support. In the end, the bill received not a single Republican vote.

> Consider that he nominated a moderate, pro-prosecution Supreme Court justice, Sonia Sotomayor, only to see her tagged as a racist over some rather innocuous remarks she made about being a "wise Latina".

> Consider, too, that healthcare reform became bogged down in such a compromise-ridden mess because Obama ruled out a single-payer system ahead of time and never strongly backed a government-owned insurance alternative (the "public option") to compete with private insurance companies.

> As with the stimulus bill, the idea was to bring along a few Republican senators thought to hold reasonable views on the subject, such as Charles Grassley of Iowa and Olympia Snowe of Maine. And again, no Republican support was forthcoming, forcing Senate leaders to cut outrageous deals with recalcitrant Democrats Ben Nelson of Nebraska and Mary Landrieu of Louisiana.

> Obama's attempts to find compromise solutions did not stop Republicans from labelling him as a radical – or their nutty tea-party allies from calling him a "socialist" and worse. And, in retrospect, that was going to happen no matter what he did. His real problem has been that, to his supporters, he looked as though he'd been sucked into the very system he was elected to reform. Thus an Obama ally like Martha Coakley, a loyal Democratic apparatchik who'd long been criticised for her reluctance to take on political corruption in Massachusetts, became the perfect foil. (Coakley is best known for prosecuting Louise Woodward, a British nanny accused of killing a baby in her care.)
They also had a president that would veto any attempt to do so, only time will tell at this point - but the outlook is grim in my opinion.
>> "Walls won't save you"

Americans refuse to live in fear (at least, the block of Americans I understand and am part of). We don't really count on walls to save us. We count on the ability to destroy those who want to murder us.

That will probably freak a lot of people out here. I'm not a warmonger. But we are a strong nation, and those who want to kill our innocent civilians need to know, America will not cower.

Terrorism is on the rise because there are large groups of people who have devoted their lives to barbaric murder of innocents -- some on the front lines with bombs strapped on, others through financial and cultural support.

These groups of people have a culture in favor of anti-US terrorism. Note: I have not named the groups. You can't say "Islam", because many Muslims don't feel that way. You can't say "Arabs" because it is likewise inaccurate.

It's hard to name the group with a precise enough term. But they exist, and their culture makes them our blood enemies. They want to murder us, and therefore I want to murder them.

What really needs to die is the barbaric culture. But how do you kill a culture? (I can only think of one example off the top of my head ... atom bombs on Japan seemed to quickly, drastically change their culture. Hopefully there's a less drastic way).

Tolerance and peace are some of the greatest human ideals. But when someone desires with their whole heart to murder you and all that you love, tolerance is the wrong response. That enemy needs to be recognized, understood, and defeated.
The price is very competitive, getting all the parts + cables and power brick would cost more.
Are you familiar at all with the policies of the Republican party?
I was hoping it was a text entry box too!
Hi grizzles,
as a european currently vliving in Austria I am quite interested in relcoating to Australia for the weather and the people but I'm not sure how the tech scene is over there for EE jobs like Embedded Software/Firmware Engineer.
I had a quick look on indeed but I wasn't very lucky.
It would have been arguably the most socialist presidential nomination ever for the Democrats.
>People voted in the way that best expressed their beliefs given the choice as presented.

That is true of any election, no?

>If they'd voted remain, the government wouldn't have said "Oh I guess that was a poorly defined referendum, let's work out a proper plan and have another." they'd have used it as an excuse to ignore the issue.

Quite possibly, but I don't see how that is relevant. We seem to be in agreement?
And all the other stuff--the bigotry, the misogyny, etc--is simply not a deal breaker?

I find some of that quite surprising.
> That's why so many people were so passionate about Sanders. You could go back to CSPAN videos from 1992 and hear him saying the exact same things he said throughout the whole primary season.

This was this the exact same case with Ron Paul 4 years ago but it seemed to hardly matter
Fair ? No, and why should it ? The law is there to apply the nebulous concept of "justice", but has never been fair. You know what's unfair ? the fact that wealthy people can afford legal defenses that give them a fraction of the prison time / punishment for serious offenses. Thats a much more egregious unfairness than someone not filling out paperwork.
You're going to have a rude wakeup call, one of these days, in the form of crushing medical debt.
>He promised you hate

Can you point to where he actively promoted or promised "hate"?

>You can not have it both ways, your vote is one for hate

You assume those with whom you disagree are below you morally. This mentality is why Trump is president.
Useful for, like, "like".
> so at worse you will see a lot of inflation

Personally, I wouldn't mind inflation if all workers are paid a decent wage as a result. For far too long inflation has been too low and confined to precisely the wrong sectors (i.e. land, health care, education). It's time for workers to get their share of the action.
The incremental improvements in averages aren't what's driving people to vote, though. We need to look hard at the situation in the rust belt, and figure out how we pull these people up, who have consistently lost in the game of averages and aggregation.
> Hillary focused her entire campaign on why people should stop Trump, at the expense of talking about why she should be president.

I couldn't disagree more. This campaign was all about emotion, not rationality. Apparently facts don't matter and that's very hard to deal with.
