> FIFTH, I will lift the restrictions on the
production of $50 trillion dollars’ worth of
job-producing American energy reserves,
including shale, oil, natural gas and clean coal

This is what I have the biggest problem with. The ONLY WAY we are going to continue making progress towards widespread clean renewable energy is if it is financially beneficial for corporations to continue investing in R&D. Sure, there are some outliers that will stick with it on principal, but the majority will go where the money is. Cheaper fossil fuels == less investment in renewable energy. Period. This is bad timing given the critical point we are at (so far as we know) regarding climate change.

This is pure short-sightedness motivated by the desire to deliver on his promise of creating jobs.

Why is that scary? Do you know how many of these laws are absolutely useless in present day?
Yesterday I was working from home and trying to compile our codebase was taking an excessive amount of time. Still have a spinner in my home computer so I heard it working really hard even after I stopped the compile and noticed spotify slamming disk I/O. Killed it and everything went smoothly. So yes it can actually matter quite a bit.
> Hmm totally not being a Trump supporter how does this empower China exactly?

China's actively seeking trade deals all over the world. The US taking a strongly antitrade position could improve their relative position. The devil is really in the details, though.
"On the conference’s main stage, 500 Startups founder Dave McClure went berserk over the results with an expletive-laden rant about Trump. “If you’re not fucking pissed right now, what is wrong with you?” he screamed at the audience. “I’m pissed off, I’m sad, I’m ashamed, I’m angry.”"

You should be ashamed: a grown-up man doesn't have a public temper-tantrum over the result of an election.
It'll mean unelected officials and lobbyists hold all the clout.
Sadly most Americans will fail to understand why IRV would be good or even how it works.
Yeah cuz who needs health care and any attempts at reversing climate change?
Right, and it was up to the state to decide how the electors were elected. The intended goal is the same -- a midpoint between State-level republicanism and populist democracy.

Our right wing populists are your vanilla republicans. No really.
It's not as crazy as it sounds. Studies show that Government has a "liberal bias". That even during Republican administrations, more liberal policies are passed than conservative ones: http://www.vox.com/2014/9/19/6532489/chart-policymaking-has-...

The reason is because it's much much harder to repeal laws than to add new ones, so they tend to increase over time. Regulation bloats.
That email chain was about how to deal with Sanders attacking the DNC for enforcing pre-agreed-upon rules in the Nevada convention. It had nothing to do with working against Sanders and everything to do with stopping Sanders from attacking the party heads for following the rules. http://www.politifact.com/nevada/statements/2016/may/18/jeff...

moral of the story, you can't make these changes without some sort of analysis to show that they will have the intended effect. He's pulling the trigger w/o understanding the end effect imo.
It's all too easy to feel righteous indignation for the "others" when we're so easily immersed in our own little bubbles and personal challenges. To be sure, there are fringes on the edges of every faction of the political spectrum that are more difficult to reconcile, but if one can tune out that noise for a moment there is a possibility of reaching a deeper understanding of one another here. Whether or not you like the path chosen to office by our new President-elect--or even like him at all--there is something to be learned from listening to the large numbers of people who voted him into office and the factions that supported him. Most of them are honest, decent, and hardworking people that have similar struggles, hopes, emotions, concerns, and dreams as most anyone else in this country. The President-elect's message resonated with many people. That may seem crazy to many folks, but most folks who voted for him aren't crazy. Pay attention, engage in conversation, and try to understand why it resonated. And if you supported him, do the same. If everyone can work hard to remove the rhetoric and BS perpetuated by any of the political parties all the better.
Basically the continuation of the last six years of Congress.
Peter Thiel’s Bet on Donald Trump Wins Big
rejecting neoconservatism, and libertarianism, leaves you with traditional conservatism and cultural conservatism, or religious conservatism.

On the social side, things like abortion, (anti) gay rights, etc.

On the legal / economic side, actual pro-small business type changes, think 1950s republican.

As for rejecting neo-liberal economics, there are tons of options. Without throwing out ideologies, though, I think the most likely things we'd see in America would be:

Well, if bernie was elected I'd say things like trying to reform college tuition costs, expanding medicare, ensuring the stability of social security, new worker protections and federally promoted retraining of laid off / out of work workers, etc. guaranteed paid family leave, etc.

From the conservative viewpoint, the people would probably want more focus on closing immigration loopholes used by businesses to avoid hiring domestically (h1bv, j1bv reform), actively enforcing punishments for employers utilizing illegal immigrants, retooling international trade agreements to favor small businesses and local producers as opposed to larger corporate interests, tax subsidies and encouragements for businesses that produce locally, etc.
Well, it sort of is. Though not intentional.
Cool. Thanks for the info.

I just assumed that over 250 years some cruft was inevitable.
Don't worry, if they can't make up their minds I'm sure plenty of bright, helpful, and well-dressed citizens will come out of the woodwork to advise them as to which regulations aren't needed anymore.
A popular approach from many is to make government ineffective. Not joking. It's at the crux of Republican proposals for 8-12 years.

Then, add to that the fact that these people are ensuring the big pigs don't get to eat at the trough? Yeah, not looking good.

I think I would be looking for a private gig right now if I were in 18F/USDS.
Well, you could roll back globalisation and implement some form of protectionism, which is precisely what Trump has suggested.

Outside the ivory tower of economic models, it does actually make sense. If a country is severely restricted in its capacity to import (an exception being made for raw materials), and has to produce most types of goods itself, then the economy tends to approach something like full employment. Meaning that although overall GDP is not maximised, but everyone has a job, and every industrial sector thrives.

An additional advantage of protectionism is that it would put the brakes on global economic growth, which is the major driver of climate change and ecosystem destruction, but without the side effect of mass unemployment which would be inevitable if free trade remained operative.

Dell XPS Linux doesn't comes with Windows and it is or was cheaper by like 200$ than the normal XPS.
PBFT is considered blockchain now.
That's not the point.

Here is what you can say about USB-A:
* Ubiquitous; it is literally everywhere on this planet
* Extremely cheap, reliable and easy to use
* Not actually a competitor to USB-C/TB3
* Does not prevent the inclusion of USB-C/TB3
* Does not present packaging or legacy support issues

USB-C/TB3 is a great technology and I wouldn't want to buy a system without at least one port, but it is NOT a replacement for USB-A yet. USB-A will continue to be the most prevalent peripheral connector for long after these new MBP's are retired.

I will add: USB-C/TB3 is not exactly easy to use at this point. The convenience of using that same port for both protocols (TB3 and USB3.1) is introducing confusion. Not every USB-C port/peripheral is also a TB3 port/peripheral, this includes adapters and dongles. Additionally, the power options of USB-C/TB3 add another wrinkle: what hubs/docks/devices can provide enough power to charge specific devices? Not to mention that the current crop of USB-C/TB3 accessories don't always 'just work'[1]. Hopefully this will get better, but again it is not going to displace USB-A for a long, long time.

There are several drastic terms like that, e.g. "Cancel visas to foreign countries that won’t take them back.". When entering negotiations with such a threat you will get what you want, he will be able to easily dictate changes to NAFTA and every country will take their people back. I am not even sure this is such a bad strategy.
Medicare and Social Security are funded through their own dedicated payroll tax, not the general income tax. Roosevelt intentionally did it this way to make it impossible to repeal.

My working assumption is that the military is mismanaged, and spends trillions of dollars on wasteful projects. I think you can get a pretty big tax cut by just managing the military better.
Techies definitely didn't make it cool across the general population. It became cool through brand association with cool phones and MP3 players and its aesthetics.
> It does seem like it could be useful as a short term policy, if Congress can't find any way to agree on directly repealing unnecessary regulations.

Regulations are issued by the executive branch, not Congress (repealing regulations is actually done by issuing regulations specifying the regulations to be repealed, so the process for repeal is the same.)

Also, "a regulation" isn't a well-defined unit.
Sure, but light has zero rest mass.

> I'd actually be surprised if there were many of those.

There are entire books written filled with silly, outdated, or absurd laws and regulations (both federal and state).

Here's just a taste[1]:

> 18 USC §1382 & 32 CFR §636.28(g)(iv) make it a federal crime to ride a moped into Fort Stewart without wearing long trousers.

> 16 USC §551 & 36 CFR §261.16(c) make it a crime to wash a fish at a faucet if it's not a fish-washing faucet, in a national forest.

> 21 USC §461 & 9 CFR §381.171(d) make it a crime to sell "Turkey Ham" as "Ham Turkey" or with the words "Turkey" and "Ham" in different fonts

> 18 USC §1865 & 36 CFR §7.96(b)(3) make it a federal crime to harass a golfer in any national park in Washington, DC.

What, you don't think deriding them as "deplorables" is a good way to convince them to vote for a more progressive candidate?
I'll bet he doesn't know that the pubic sector shrank more under Obama than the previous presidents:

"The public sector grew during Mr. Carter's term (up 1,304,000), during Mr. Reagan's terms (up 1,414,000), during Mr. G.H.W. Bush's term (up 1,127,000), during Mr. Clinton's terms (up 1,934,000), and during Mr. G.W. Bush's terms (up 1,744,000 jobs).

However the public sector has declined significantly since Mr. Obama took office (down 668,000 jobs). These job losses have mostly been at the state and local level, but more recently at the Federal level. This has been a significant drag on overall employment." [1]

I'll be surprised if he gets half these things done in the next 4 yrs, though most are so vague it's not clear what 'done' would mean.

Get real, this is an amazing boon for lobbyists. Members of congress would not be able to gain experience at crafting legislation and dealing with the entire shitshow process at the federal level. Lobbyists can still be lobbyists for life.

On top of that, this significantly weakens congress's position when raising funds for elections. They've got to dance to the right tune quickly, they can't slowly ramp up a career and build a brand. With their bargaining power lowered...ugh.

America is probably going to get totally fucked now.
And no, not necessarily because of this. But this policy proposal is the best Trump could come up with? This isn't even half-baked, it's fucking flour in a pot and he's calling it cookies. How can this be called a contract.
Cool - they do similar things in this country too. Strangely I've never heard it worded as a 'contract' though. 'Plan' and 'Contract' have entirely different connotations.
In Wisconsin, maybe. Easily won the general? I'd bet money against that. I think he'd be crushed.
This shouldn't be downvoted. This is a critical question for a candidate who's pledged to expand religious discrimination and torture.
And if you ask many Germans, the economic situations in both have their own problems as well. No where is perfect, instead of uprooting, people that want change need to become a part of the movement rather than waiting for others to do it for them.

I'm all green peace and pro-nature, but is it really such a bad thing? I have no idea, what that money is actually spent on, and UN seems to be pretty... well, pretty useless organization, to be honest. To what extent do these billions prevent/slow down melting of ice caps and drough? If they don't, then what's the matter? It seems to be better to spend money ob the lesser something, than on greater nothing.
For 1 TB of data and 1 TB of data growth yoy, you might be able to get away with vanilla Postgres with reasonable sharding/partitioning/data structure.

Without too much details, I am working on a project that handles automated reports/metrics and our only problem with Postgres has been our write-heavy work load (554 M transactions a day with ~250 GB a week). This is a still very early goings and a fraction of our "production" target scale, but we haven't had any read issues.

Our problem is that our constant writes to tables mean that our checkpoints [http://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/61822/what-happens-in...] started to take significant periods of time and happen more and more frequently. Postgres also has some write amplification [http://blog.heapanalytics.com/speeding-up-postgresql-queries...] and VACUUMING challenges [https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/routine-vacuu...].

But again these issues are specifically due to our write-heavy, timeseries data. For now we mitigate the effects with sharding and partitioning as we transition to Cassandra...but it sounds like you don't have a similarly write-heavy workload. So I think you might be able to get away with just Postgres.

your whole nordic block has a population of 26.6 million. That's similar to Texas, not the us. in other words, what is applicable to those places may not translate to such a big country. if you start expanding it to be similar in size to the US, you'd need to take very problematic areas in, like Russia. similarly it can be noted that northern places in the us tend to have lower income inequalities in general (northernmost state, alaska ranks second within us, northernmost country, iceland ranks first within europe). nearly all states that border canada do well on poverty measures (the exception being new york).

Low term limits are a double edged sword. On the one hand, you want to get new blood in the system. On the other, you don't want to throw away all the experience the representative has accumulated. how effective do you think someone really is in the first 2-4 years?

A middle ground might be to make those the term limits, but require the representatives to not fill that position that 3rd or 4th term, but able to fill other positions and come back later. E.g.

senate (6) -> senate (6) -> congress (2) -> congress (2) -> congress (2) -> senate (6)

or even

senate (6) -> senate (6) -> congress (2) -> senate (6)

This would force representatives into other positions, while allowing them to capitalize on (and us to benefit from) their experience. We have a little of this already in advancement from congress to senate.
That's one of the things that would help. Particularly for scientists and engineers. The salaries are way below what they could achieve in the private sector (often doing the same or similar work with contractors, in the defense industry).

I think corruption is like a weed. It grows when you become acclimatized to your environment and start to exploit it.

Term limits get us closer to a part-sortition. From the wiki:

Author James Wycliffe Headlam explains that the Athenian Council (500 administrators randomly selected), would commit occasional mistakes such as levying taxes that were too high. Additionally, from time to time, some in the Council would improperly make small quantities of money from their civic positions. However, "systematic oppression and organized fraud were impossible". These Greeks recognized that sortition broke up factions, diluted power, and gave positions to such a large number of disparate people that they would all keep an eye on each other making collusion fairly rare.
> 16 USC §551 & 36 CFR §261.16(c)

That should absolutely still be on the books. You'd have people cleaning fish in bathrooms.

Completely ignorant position.

Market based solutions only work if the market is fair i.e. all players are subject to the same conditions. The problem is (a) fossil fuels have large subsidies all up/down the chain and (b) fossil fuels do not have a surcharge for their impact on the environment.
It may look similar on the surface but Trump's proposal is nothing like the Canadian red tape reduction laws. The latter are focused on reducing the administrative burden of demonstrating regulatory compliance but it does not impact the regulations themselves except as a last resort. The vast majority of the time, compliance can be streamlined to offset the extra cost of new regulations. What Trump wants to do is cut regulations he and his supporters are ideologically opposed to while framing it as his public service meant to benefit small business owners.

Edit: Also note that in the preamble it specifically says "Canadians and small businesses." This law does not impact, for example, environmental or safety regulations for real estate developers or utilities. Trump will almost certainly try to cut EPA regulations but something like the Canadian law would never allow that.
