So, I'll try to respond as someone who voted in support of Johnson, and can get the appeal of Trump as well as the Clinton, as well as visceral hatred of either.

I get that huge swaths of the electorate feel like this system hasn't been working, and that' it's all manipulated by career political insiders who have their own brand of benevolent authoritarianism. I get the distrust of a liberal culture that overvalues its own contributions to society, and has a false sense of how correct they are and why they are where they are, and overlooks their own serious problems and prejudices. I understand how the media plays into this, and believe that a lot of what Trump has said has been taken too seriously or distorted, that he was projecting a character rather than an argument, and in doing so, demonstrated empathy with a huge group of the population. I get that population has been so screwed by the current system they just want something different, whether that be Sanders or Trump.

However, I strongly believe that there's a false equivalence in these discussions, and that calls for "reasoned debate" on the American right are often intentionally or unintentionally meant as a negotiating tactic, to cover up arrogant intransigence on their part. They don't get what they want, so rather than contributing something constructive, they accuse the left of "not having a reasoned discussion" or not "compromising." When the GOP and Trump talk about the left "not compromising," they're really meaning "we're not getting what we want."

Relatedly, do you really believe that the things that Trump has said about minorities, women, and so forth are acceptable ways of leading the United States, or treating those who disagreed with you? What would the GOP do if the liberal candidate said the same things about Trump?

Which party shut down congress repeatedly rather than have a reasoned discussion? Which party has been obstructing and crippling the supreme court because they didn't get their way?

The reality is that the GOP lost this election in terms of votes, and yet are still entering the white house because of a broken electoral voting system. Like it or not, Clinton won more votes than Trump. So Trump and the GOP are going to undo everything the majority voted for to get their selfish agenda, because they don't care about the majority of the electorate that voted for someone else.
Who is being unreasonable in this situation? It's not the liberal party.

I have plenty of reasons to be angry with both parties, but Trump is dangerous in a way that Clinton was not. Sure, I could find some bright sides to his ticket, but it's overshadowed by a lot to be terrified by.
But if the law enforcement weren't running it then there's at least a chance you would have been thwarted and there would be no actus rea, tempting people to commit crimes that without your positive action could have been impossible seems morally wrong to me.

Like leaving open bottles of spirits in alcoholic's rooms if there were prohibition.
The effectiveness of NATO is entirely based on the threat of retaliation from all member countries, in case one of them is attacked, being credible.
While asking all member countries to pay their fair share may be reasonable making statements which reduce the credibility of the threat is massively irresponsible.

And since you bring up the Art of the Deal you may "enjoy" this article by Tony Schwartz, the ghost writer of said book.

It was replicated. It just was found to be an interesting result of cavitation, not fusion.
MVC is just sloppy thinking – prove me wrong
This is MVC - as I understand it.

Model

The model is the System - all of the relationships, and all the data at a given time. Now in scientific terms a Model is something that exists in the mind of an observer - it is a set of equations or rules that we use to understand what forms a system can take and what the constraints on a system look like. But here we are using the term "Model" to mean both the relationships between data, and the data itself.

View and Controller

Here sources say different things about what parts of, say, a web page are in the "Controller" and which are in the "View" Some say that the view is the CSS, the model is the HTML, and the controller is the web browser. Some say that the model is the database, the view is html and css and javascript, and the controller is all the code that makes decisions about how to save and retrieve data on both the client and server side. But generally it appears that the View and Controller taken together form the boundary to the system- the GUI and API. In particular it appears that the Controller is the layer of API functions that exist to facilitate user interaction with the Model, and a View is something generated at a particular time by the Controller to be displayed to a specific user.

--But! I'm also seeing people say that the Controller can be created by the View, (what??) or that the Model can be stored on the client side. I'm also seeing various options for whether the Model or the Controller "does persistence".

Searching the web has only lead a stronger and stronger sense that the reason I don't understand Model-View-Controller is that nobody else understands it either, or really agrees on what those terms mean. Prove me wrong, and I'll be forever grateful!
Most of our other polls were off as well, but in Clinton's favor, so do we not publish those either? At the time, there was no way to know what was correct, so shouldn't sharing the information be more important than anything else?
Trump didn't win because he was on the right. He beat the entire Republican establishment and the tea party rabble before he beat Clinton, and on most subjects he ran to the left of every single one of them. The shit everybody is fucking tired of is the Clintons, and their friends.

McCain: 60 million votes; Romney: 60 million votes; Trump: 60 million votes.

Obama: 72 million votes; Obama 2: 66 million votes; Clinton: 60 million votes.
Ask HN: How do you organize and share information within your company?
We are looking for a place to put all the knowledge we share into one place. The idea would be that when someone asks you a questions you answer in this place and send them a link to your answer. With a culture of always checking this resource first we could save a lot of time on repeat answers.

We tried google sites (mostly because it was a simple proof of concept) but want something more robust. We are looking at using a wiki right now.

What tools are you currently using and what do you like or dislike about them?
People need to get over it. Trump's president now. Those who chose clinton picked a racehorse w/ 3 legs. She was never going to win. I didn't vote for her and never would. Everyone in my fb stream of 3k+ Bernie supporters were all warning they would not vote for her, and guess what? -- THEY didn't..

GET OVER IT. He's the president. Nothing is going to change that. This CEO's reaction is almost discrimination in that political views are almost akin to religious convictions for some people.
Hillary supporters are sore losers. We never saw riots in 2008 and 2012 when Obama got elected,twice.

It seems many people only want Democracy when they get what they want.
Makes sense. Somehow the FBI being philosophically inconsistent doesn't surprise me.
Oh sorry, you're right. I was an idiot and mixed up Gates and Gingrich.

The gist of what I was trying to say and messed up badly was that no matter who he would pick, they'd be criticism. If he picked Gates, people would have said he was an insider. If he picked an outsider, then it looks risky and it will just be more incompetence. If a minority, then he is just pandering...
A filter that replaces all mugshots of the smug gurning loon would be appreciated too.
Turning On, Booting Up, and Jacking into Neuromancer
I was under the impression, at least in the case of drugs, that they do actually provide them. Although maybe that's only in cases of deep cover infiltration, rather than the eventual sting per se.
Right, yea, the something else would have been knowing that in the event of a Trump victory he'd send out this email which could likely hurt the company (it'd naturally get leaked). Obviously it's a bit of a stretch, because why would he intentionally hurt his own company? I just thought it was a bit odd-looking.

Another user in this thread pointed out that this seems to be a monthly thing the CEO does, so this no longer appears as strange.
The AV industry needs to die. Security needs to built in, not just a 3rd party add on.
> It follows it is likely harmful to homosexual people to elect Mike Pence. And the burden for explaining why that risk is okay falls on the people who vote

If an establishment candidate like Hillary is seen as harmful to Bob, is there a burden on Dan to explain why the risk of voting for her is Ok?
> My experience could be unique, or it could be quite common.

Well, I tried to make that clear...
I agree, I place a great deal of responsibility on the news media for popularizing the circus mentality of the election cycle for profit.

Trump saw it for what it was near the beginning and took advantage. Every time the news media focused on his antics, true or not, and not on the issues pushed him closer to the Presidency.

Well, that and the fact they apparently had problems with admitting Clinton was a flawed candidate.
That or using NumPy for any arithmetic bottlenecks.

But the new dict and a few other optimizations in 3.6 will make attribute lookups pretty close to C++ speed if not the same.
Uhh, Stowe is Harriet Beecher Stowe, so "he" ought to be "she". Because this is HN, I'll assume good intent and presume this is just a slip and doesn't indicate your lack of familiarity with the material you're discussing.
Yep. That's the best explanation of what happened. I totally believe Thiel knew exactly that Trump had a great shot at the presidency before supporting him publicly.
The caricature has some grounding in truth. For example, the crime reports in university news services, where those schools sit in rough areas of town, are comically vague. "Male in a hoodie and jeans"... okay then.
There's clearly not a racist or misogynist majority, but there are definitely still a lot of racists and misogynists in the US. This morning I read about a dramatic rise in racist harassment, Muslims afraid to go outside, Latino-looking kids who got beat up at school, Trump-labeled vandalism.

There are clearly still a lot of terrible people, and they love it that Trump won. They feel that this result proved them right, and allows them to act out their bigotry.
It does seem like that alt-right has basically appropriated the anti-oppression-speech of feminists and other civil liberty advocates, to construct the appearance of a minority of oppressed white men. It's a very frustrating process to see, and it's even more frustrating to have to tip-toe around white males who victimize themselves, as if they are actual minorities with long histories of oppression, like females, black people, LGBT-folks, latinos, or Muslims in America.

They've also appropriated the 'there is no absolute' truth idea, that is used to try to make people understand differing perceptions. It was used to try get people to accept different view points, basically something that liberals and hippies came up with in the 60s. Now it's been appropriate to further the post-truth politics. If there is no truth, why not always lie.

The real frustrating part is that this conflict was totally unnecessary. Yes listening to feminists and black people can sometimes by hard to white males, it sometimes appears unfair and as if they want to 'reverse' the world. But overall, that's not the aim of these movements. And we (the white males) should really just give them the benefit of the doubt. We should listen. It hurts, but the conflict hurts them more.

Instead, some of the people in a traditional position of privilege have successfully turned around the conversation, into "no, you should listen to us".

And now this group of people, many of whom were traditionally democrats (even may have voted for Obama), now voted for Trump. They are the swing vote.
I think this rule has a fair chance to survive:

1) Trump hates illegal immigrants. But Startup Visa (or any kind of Visa) implies only legal immigration path.

2) Trump doesn't like that immigrants take away jobs from locals. But startups tend to create new jobs, reducing unemployment.

3) Peter Thiel (Trump's new tech advisor) is a famous investor and a partner at Y Combinator. This guy needs new startups. Most likely, he will lobby Startup Visa initiative.
It seems ironic to me that my comment was about recognizing that people do and can get offended by phrases without being a wimp. Now you seem to be saying that Christmas should have been rebranded because that offends some Christians. But that is my point. People can and do get offended by phrases. Let's recognize this. Sometimes the offense is something that warrants change and sometimes not.

I don't think Christians are wimps for not liking "Happy Holidays".
Ask HN: What non-technical blogs do you read?
There is a difference between a law 99% consent on and a law 33%.
Reality is always more nuanced. It's fractal, after all.

The point is that Trump's statements are a strong indicator of racist beliefs (latent or otherwise).

Consider the statement, "A member of the Hispanic National Bar Association who is a Judge can and will be impartial in the case in question."
I personally enjoyed the novella that came with it more than the game itself. I got frustrated having to beat these stupid levels in order to read the next chapter..
It's kinda funny I'm even debating about this, I don't know where your confidence comes from.

You use the two most edge cases as an example (Amazon and Google). Most other "less techy" companies don't have the luxury to not run QA. Good for you that Google and Amazon doesn't have QA, but those are the exception, not the rule. Just go to glassdoor and search for QA and you'll see tons of QA job positions for large companies.

Since you mention Amazon, for example, WalMart has QA engineer positions.
That NIT, which many security experts have dubbed as malware, used a Tor exploit of some kind to force the browser to return the user’s actual IP address, operating system, MAC address, and other data.

That's quite the exploit.
It's not advanced, it's not long enough, and it's not correct either.

> This will set the value of TMP to `/tmp/myproject` only if it has not been set.

This should read "if", not "only if". And it should read:
"This will set the value of TMP to `/tmp/myproject` if it has not been set or if it is null."

The form that means 'if it has not been set' has no colon; it is

TMP=${TMP-/tmp/myproject}

> In September 2013, EPA announced proposed standards for new power plants and initiated outreach to a wide variety of stakeholders to help inform the development of emission guidelines for existing plants. In June 2014, EPA released the Clean Power Plan — the first-ever carbon pollution standards for existing power plants that will protect the health of our children and put our nation on the path toward a 30 percent reduction in carbon pollution from the power sector by 2030.

> Since President Obama took office, the U.S. has increased solar electricity generation by more than ten-fold, and tripled electricity production from wind power. Building on the advancements of the first term, we continue to take new and comprehensive action to encourage cleaner forms of American-made energy. Through public-private partnerships, streamlining the federal permitting process, and furthering American leadership in clean energy, we are on track to meet our clean-energy goals: to install 100 megawatts of renewable capacity across federally subsidized housing by 2020, permit 10 gigawatts of renewable projects on public lands by 2020, deploy 3 gigawatts of renewable energy on military installations by 2025, and double wind and solar electricity generation in the United States — once again — by 2025.

> That is why President Obama created the Advanced Research Project Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) in 2009. This Agency helps to advance high-impact energy projects that have the potential to transform the way we generate, store, and use energy. Every year, the President’s budget continues to invest in the crucial programs that will keep the United States at the forefront of clean energy research, development, and deployment.

> The Obama administration has proposed the toughest fuel economy standards for passenger vehicles in U.S. history, requiring an average performance equivalent of 54.5 miles per gallon by 2025. The Administration has also finalized the first-ever fuel economy standards for commercial trucks, vans, and buses for model years 2014-2018. These standards are projected to save over 500 million barrels of oil and save vehicle owners and operators an estimated $50 billion in fuel costs.

And I'm quoting about a fifth of what's written there. I am honestly surprised that you can dismiss everything here. Even more so in comparison to the person who tweeted like this.

It's really hard to get anywhere if it requires explaining everything from first principle. I'm also really sorry for overestimating people by assuming that "do not grab women by their genitals without their consent" or "do not shoot people for fun – even when they're African-American" don't need further justification.

And yes, I am, just now, calling these people idiots. Because their argument seems to be "I don't like how you're making fun of me, so I'm gonna find some bystanders and beat them up, because I know how much it hurts you to watch people suffer".

I'd also say this "condescension" has always been a two-way street. All the talk of "real America" has, since at least the Sarah Palin disaster, been a way to insult "the elites".

Something like 90,000 people die every year from simple medical mistakes in US hospitals, so at some point you have to decide where to throw your money. Do you spend $200K per patient keeping dead people on ventilators just in case one occasionally comes back to life, or would that money be better spent on something else, like teaching nurses to follow sterilization checklists?
Systems are functions of nodes, and edges, and the biases and characteristics among them.

Saying someone is good looking enough for sex isn't "sexual objectification". He just chose a bit awkward way of pointing out she's beautiful. Not creepy, although probably crude and/or primitive. Personally, I applaude him for that, I favor freedom of expression to political correctness. But I do understand how others would be appalled.
You're right of course. I don't know why I thought it was Wainwright.
If he doesn't leave the country worse off then what it is right now then I'll admit that I was wrong in thinking that he would screw up this country. If he actually makes it better then I'll admit that he was a good choice.

The country by the way is in pretty good condition right now. People have easily forgotten 2008. I really hope we do not need to do another clean up in 2020.

Will you accept you screw up if he screws up the country?

By the way, I think you are trying to gaslight us by using half truths. The same half truths you've used to convince yourself that Trump is good for the country.
Hey I've actually come across this extension before! I think I ruled it out instantly due to the name, I believe I thought it was something to do with the streaming site Twitch rather than anything to do with Twitter.

If it helps any the way I was searching was for keyword (not neccesarily these) twitter account switch, twitter clients, etc and opened up a list of things that matched in tabs to then go on and short list. Ruling this out quickly as it seemed to be something to do with Twitch rather than Twitter.

As an aside I'm sorry to say I wouldn't pay anything for something that's just saving me 3 clicks every so often. Needs more functionality.

> No, it's not. I won't quote dictionaries, you can look it up on wikipedia.

You bring up an interesting point. The definition of "Misogyny" in wikipedia in 2004:

Misogyny is an exaggerated pathological aversion towards women.

became in 2016:

Misogyny is the hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against women or girls.

I can't help but see the broadening of the definition throughout the years. It happens a lot with words ending in '-phobia' as well. Food for thought.

For the record the word miso-gyny etymologically means "hatred of women"

It’s a profound failure of empathy

So "empathy" is the only thing keeping people from becoming complete shitstains?

Empathy is currently experiencing buzz as a positive value people like conspicuously talking about, but what happened to simple old standards?

I don't need to empathize with someone to treat them as human. Maybe this is one the kind of thing that makes people say "everyone should work in the service industry once in their lives" line, because you have to separate seething hatred from evaluating how to behave.

I would think that "not be an insufferable know better douche that considers some people beneath them and without redemption" is pretty obvious when your job is ostensibly informing the public.
