As a non-American, this is possibly a stupid question but why are limited terms on congress a good thing? My assumption was that those who wish to progress in government can benefit from lengthier terms in the legistlative branch to gain experience. Doesn't imposing a limit (or at least one shorter than several election cycles more than the executive branch) reduce the amount of experience that one can gain before potentially looking to move on and up?

Yes. I live in a staunchly conservative area, and the people are very vocal here.

Here is a campaign sign outside a polling place about 20ish miles away. https://tribwgno.files.wordpress.com/2016/11/white-again.jpg

Beyond that, anyone who attempts to deny the sexism/misogyny of the Trump campaign and its pull with some of his supporters must have entirely missed all the various materials/items made & sold with hateful messaging about Clinton, using sex-based slurs and insults. The evidence is there and overwhelming. Around here, people are proud to wear those shirts and buttons and affix stickers to their cars with the messages. We will continue seeing them for some time in this area.

EDIT: You might be interested in perusing this stream of day 1 after the election:

Here's a couple particularly notable ones:

- Man walks out to his car, on video, to find "fuck you nigger" written on his windows with "Trump" also written on the front & back glass.

- Assaults on Muslim women by white people making racist comments and mentioning Trump or wearing Trump campaign gear

- A group of whites threatening the life of a black woman at a gas station, with a firearm, while calling her nigger

You're left with one of two conclusions to draw:

- There are hateful racists and sexists/misogynists out there who supported & are emboldened by Trump's victory

- All of these people are making these events up

The sneering response to Trump’s victory reveals exactly why he won
Trump's opposition to the H1B program was purely tactical, as Rubio had pushed to lift the visa cap during the 'Gang of Eight' immigration negotiations in 2013 ('Mark Zuckerberg's favorite Senator'). There would be zero support from Republicans in Congress to dismantle the program.

As a user of Nasty Gal, Ideeli before that, and any of the various other sites that are currently flooding the marketplace, some thoughts:

- Way too much money on targeted advertising.

I can't remember the name of the site, but I was looking for something in particular and so had some pretty specific search terms. I didn't find what I was looking for, but saw ads for the things I looked at for the next several weeks on every page load. Imgur, Facebook, news sites, Twitch. If the host had ads, I was seeing ads for this clothing site. A massive waste of money.

- Searchability is atrocious.

Good inventory search for women's clothing is an incredibly hard problem. What's teal to one person is aqua to another. What's the difference between off-shoulder and off-the-shoulder? What the hell is bodycon? Why am I seeing tee shirts when I'm looking for turtle necks?

- Quality is obviously bad.

When I was an Ideeli user (things have changed), I was never disappointed by anything purchased. Many of the items on these sites are either visibly low quality or massively overpriced. I was looking for a good pair of leather boots, and I was looking at either spending $80 on something that was clearly low quality or $250 on something that wasn't quite what I was looking for.

- The bait and switch is real.

This is just a general statement on the tactics of these sites. I click on an ad because I see something I like, either that item is out of stock, or I can't find it in the store. But here's thirty other items that no one is ever going to buy.
Ten years later, they made a handheld version of this.
>How many of them do you think are able to carefully parse the distinctions between 'Latino', 'Mexican' and 'illegal brown person'?

And yet, Trump supporters understands that Mexican and Muslims are not a race. Hence, why they think Trump is not racist.

>Trump can't say "I want a white America". But the people who do want this haven't had any difficulty picking up on his hints.

Now you're just making up things in your mind about Trump and Trump supporters, and then accusing them of it.

No. Hartmut Esslinger of Frog Design was hired to prototype a number of different ideas and concepts at Apple.

Project Snow White, as it was called, sought out to create a unified design language for a range of products (and to hopefully catalyze the engineers into creating new product categories).

Susan Kare designed the Chicago typeface in 1984. According to the Esslinger book the "MacPhone Study" was done in 1984 after the release of the Macintosh. [1]

Eh, I would say most new scouts are pretty anxious, and they also potentially come with other issues like asthma that likes to flare up, seizures, diabetes, etc. having had to deal with patrol members with these issues, sometimes 2 having one of these issues at the same time out of a group of 6 or 7.

Generally you deal with it as quickly & safely as possible, get the rest of your patrol to rally and do what is needed to get said person into a stable state, while sending one member to alert your assistant scoutmaster so that further help can be at the ready. That doesn't mean you get to shirk off and not go get his asthma meds, or get the guy with hypothermia some wool clothing and figure out a way to get him warmed up in short order (throw 3 people in a sleeping bag, or a warm (but not hot!) shower if you are lucky to have one).

Term limits are one of those things that Americans always expect to be good before they are implemented, but never actually are more satisfied with the affected institution after they are implemented. They attack a boogeyman (the "career politician" that is supposedly worse than the neophyte politician) that many politicians attack at the start of their careers (and many later, trying to construct themsleves.as outsiders) so often that people have internalized the idea that experience is a negative trait in governing.

I agree. SC2 is a very strategic game and has tons of potential for scouting, fake attacks, distractions, diversions and all sorts of deceitful play.

I find Trump repugnant and don't think he's remotely fit to lead the U.S. but what has he said that makes you think he's going to be against private-sector-driven innovation?

Sectors that require, or are helped substantially by, the government to innovate will almost certainly suffer but what makes you think he would interfere with private enterprise?

Trump doesn't like business regulation and seems to want to make it easier for businesses to operate. Obviously that has negative consequences some some things but would also mean he wouldn't interfere.

Where he does want to make changes is in regards to trade and outsourcing jobs and manufacturing to foreign countries.

As far as Republican leadership in the House and Senate, there is no doubt that they'll play favorites with lobbyists but Trump's main appeal was that he WASN'T like that. If he is like that, we'll have a Democratic Congress in two years and a new president in four.

Peter Drucker & W. Edwards Deming
These are the two best management thinkers of the 20th century and they are largely ignored today.

Here's your chance to engage in some information arbitrage and profit.

Drucker wrote A LOT. Assumption from your question: you have yet to gain much, if any, idea about what good management is. If so, The Daily Drucker [1] is a good, easily digestible entry point to the entire body of Peter Drucker's work.

Deming came from a statistics, systems, and manufacturing background, which at a glance, makes his work seem from a different world. That couldn't be more wrong. His principles are broadly applicable. Toyota and much of Japanese industry post-WWII learned from Deming and built their businesses on his principles. The easiest place to start with him is with his 14 Points [2].

Read a bit. Compare it to what you have seen or not seen in your work experience. Read more.

I spend a lot of time thinking about management and the more I learn, the less convinced I am that there has been anything truly new since these two thinkers.

Silicon Valley Reels After Trump's Election

> people value other things more than just sexism and racism

I think the point is, that most people have a rather extreme picture of being a sexist or racist.

No you don't have to run around and rape women to be a sexist

No you don't have to shave your head and batter blacks to be a racist.

It is enough if you simply accept people being that way.

And if you voted for Trump you didn't just accept that he is sexist or racist, you even approved for it by giving him something despite him acting like that.

The simple fact is, now people think it's okay to propagate hate if you get enough out of it.
That will only work briefly because of glassdoor interview posts. However that might only mean tweaking it slightly every week or two.

Totally agree, conversation catalyst is a great way to phrase it too. This is very much the approach I've taken having had very mixed outcomes from trying to do just one thing or the other. I find using a simple, 100% self contained task that should take a few hours and then using that to kick start discussion has provided the best way for us to hire and screen people. We've found using a task that is very simple to get a working solution but provides a lot of scope for edge cases or growth to be effective. It allows the candidate to not blow a whole weekend on something for the sake of it but gives us obvious directions to take the conversation.

Communication skills seem to be held in much lower regard despite them being the key thing for effective day to day work. I can manage / handle working with someone who needs more time than a "rockstar" or hasn't memorized TAOCP if they'are able to communicate effectively. Outside of very specific roles, non-trivial software development is a team effort. It's usually extremely obvious within 15 minutes if a candidate genuinely gets what they've coded or is winging it.

>> what the company believes will be a continued shift from cars to crossovers and trucks.

This part hints (to me anyway) that they may have waited for the election. Trump seems to be a fan of fossil fuels, so that would suggest cheap oil will be around for a while and people will be more willing to buy bigger vehicles. The article also points out that these vehicles are not selling well enough to support 3 shifts, so it probably has very little to do with union concerns. I suspect it's just a straight business decision based on a market forecast which was solidified by the election. They probably waited a bit for the election to feed that into the forecast.

For most crimes, I definitely agree that imprisonment should be a tool to prevent further crime. In most cases, genuinely punishing someone for (stupid) mistakes (s)he has made is unproductive for society. But murder seems like a very specific situation (to me at least) where someone has crossed the line. Can one really come back from murder?

Would you be comfortable spending time with someone you know who has cold-bloodedly killed another human being? I know I wouldn't. And I'm generally a person who is pretty open about most things.
