Campaign promises are made to get elected, not to be kept. Given Trump's tendency to speak, shall we say, "freely", he is likely to be a much more moderate president than his campaign promises would suggest. Not that that is saying very much, but I think much of the panic and disbelief surrounding a Trump win arises from taking his words too seriously and too literally.

I thought about your comment, and I can tentatively agree with your premise. Twitter is certainly the most used way to disseminate information straight from the source.

The problem is, that is not Twitter(the company)'s goal. For the last several years, their main focus, through user complaints, has been to limit the unfettered flow of information, to produce curated feeds, etc. This is quickly converging with Facebook functionality. A recent major development (from outside Twitter itself) has been the introduction of blocklists, directly contradicting the author's utopia of "incorrect tweet followed by a correction". Meanwhile, Twitter has been introducing similar features for "celebrity" accounts.

Given that the article's stated reason for saving Twitter does not align with the company's goals, the only way to save it would be to get rid of the company currently managing it. However, I don't see any other company actually looking to maintain the model described in the article. News sites are shutting down comments sections, removing the possibility of corrections. College campuses, normally a bastion of open debate and conversation, are looking more and more into punishing "hateful" speech and creating "safe spaces". Social media is heavily invested into curation.

The article states "Twitter must be saved". By who? Even Twitter itself does not want Twitter to remain the way the article writer envisions it, and the other major actors are tripping over themselves to go faster than in the opposite direction.

There are in fact places dedicated to disseminating information with as little filter as possible, unlike Twitter. Off the top of my head, I can think of liveleak and 4chan. Neither of them is extremely popular, and 4chan has an awful reputation. I'm surprised that the author is not extending their support to them, instead of trying to support a company that is actively trying to run away from his vision.

Those same people that would die trying to make it into the US are now going to be turned away if they do make it. The America that prides itself being a destination of salvation for immigrants is not the America that Trump wants to create.

I would advice anyone considering moving to a different country to spend some time studying FATCA. Even if you move out of the U.S you will still be responsible for filing taxes every single year unless you renounce your citizenship which is not easy by any means. Foreign banks are required by FATCA law to pass all your financial information to the I.R.S and in some countries they will downright refuse opening a bank account for american citizens to avoid this nuissance.

How are you losing more on leveraged ETFs than options? I can't imagine options are always the correct choice for taking a long delta position.
All it will take is a reversion to "let the states decide", which may also be what we see with issues such as abortion. What scares me though, are the decisions like Citizens United, issues with privacy and regulatory oversight, and that kind of thing.

The difference in culture may be there, but it is as big and sometimes much bigger between citys and countryside, regions and social classes. It may be a factor but the as I think main reason most people do not move is not any barrier in the different style of life but more so the fact of moving, getting a way from your sorroundings, friends, family etc. altogether
SYTC is in reference to a comment made pre Elm 0.17, when drastic changes were made to the language (FRP was dropped, ports were massively simplified, and a bunch of other stuff).

So he then decides he wants to have the full Elm experience by trying to replicate a Haskell solution in Elm using a technique that was mentioned in an issue comment. I feel like in trying to avoid the blub paradox, he ran right into it.

Don't forget "homophobe", while you're at it. I have to say, it's a real scream to hear that one from guys who cringe when I talk about sucking cock. It's even better than being lectured on race relations by white dudes who've never lived anywhere that had more than three black people out of every thousand.

> Then someone openly flouting this "PC ideology" you've been getting increasingly frustrated by comes along they look quite appealing.

Oh, my, yes! Especially after we've had such opportunity to observe, firsthand and in detail, what progressivism actually does to all but a PR-vetted, camera-ready token few of those on whose behalf its adherents claim to act - to say nothing of those whom it explicitly discards.

We know well what it's like to be trod upon in no more noble cause than advancing someone else's bid for power. We should do - they've been doing it to us for decades. And, more and more, we are realizing that there is nothing in it for us. More and more, we're no longer willing to serve as the compliant little political puppets that people like ant6n and M_Grey demand we be, because obviously they know better than we do what's good for us. "Too stupid and easily manipulated to be helped," I believe it was, and of course we're too ignorant to recognize the difference between being helped, and letting ourselves be co-opted and fucked over time after time after time.

"Too stupid and easily manipulated," eh? In fairness I have to give him that second one - we've certainly let progressives lead us by the nose against our own best interests often enough over the last few decades. But that's changing, and doing so faster than I'd have imagined possible only a few years -- only a few hours! -- ago. If they're really too blind to appreciate the arrogance and the sheer unmitigated gall of simultaneously holding us in such contempt and demanding we lick their palms and show our bellies and do as we are told, that's their lookout, not ours. And if they're really too bound up in their damnable ideology and the wreckage of their quest for power to recognize how gravely they've gone wrong, then to hell with them.
No, Evangelicals and uneducated whites are how we get President Trump, along with a majority of people who don't even vote, and a minority who "vote their conscience" with a fool like Johnson despite the lessons of 2000.
Can you point to some supreme court cases? One that comes to mind is Lawrence v. Texas, which struck down the "sodomy law" by a largely republican court (I think only one or two justices were democratic at the time)

Well, the nice thing here is that with the integration between vim-test and vim-dispatch is that you don't have to do anything for having the tests run in a separate session. It just works. I mean really you _are_ just having it run in a separate session, just more smoothly.

If the tests pass then the tmux window the tests were run in will just disappear, if not, you get popped back to the quickfix window with the errors listed.

Give it a go and see how you like it! :)

However, as long as you are not directly affected by any of those, e.g. you are not LBGTQ, you might consider staying to defend LGBTQ rights and thereby have a more meaningful impact. Even if you're not a politician, voting, educating your children and talking to friends and coworkers can have a significant impact.

Despite the caring face that most startups put up they all have to make money to survive. Only when they grow really big can they even think of pursuing social goals and even then they will have opposition from the shareholders.
What's a good alternative to Elm?
Trump marched forward despite so much negativity against him. He worked really hard to overcome his limitations and at the end won people over. Nothing could stop him.

Why are you guys throwing in the towel at the slightest discomfort?.
That does not offset it at all. Unless you've got a ridiculously strong character, or a group of friends that will force you to do something with them, I wouldn't recommend it. Or at least have a backup plan if you start going crazy by November.

If you need to leave the U.S. consider moving to Australia. (I did) The cost of living here is high, but the salaries are very high for professionals. If you are a talented thrifty person - you can save a lot of money fast. Good surfing too.

For startups. you get about ~50c back on the dollar from the gov't annually. You don't need to make a single dollar in profit to get that, it is based on the invested capital.

Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions.
No real reason, other than Trump becoming our next president maybe?

Silicon Valley's ultimate exit
I believe a large part of Northern California's, and by extension Silicon Valley's, water comes from the Sierras. The communities of the Sierras, as well as those of the Central Valley which separates Northern and Southern California, tend to be fairly conservative. They also have high rates of firearms ownership. I don't think they would be too keen to join in on a hypothetical SV secession.

I live in Vancouver. Cost of living looks bad. Quality of life is good. I look out of the window of the window of my smallish condo at the beautiful mountains and all seems well.

It's tough to live in this town on the median local income. Get a very good job before you move here. There are much more affordable Canadian cities with the same social deal and without the Vancouver housing crisis. But if you can make it work, this is a nice place.

Yes. I have two sisters that could lose access to birth control and planned parenthood. One of them dates a black man and already gets racial slurs thrown at them in public. These results are only going to embolden that behavior. America has voted for a mysogynistic sexist at its highest ceremonial office, you don't think that affects what is acceptable discourse? You don't think the SCOTUS is changed for a generation now?
I believe this is implicit.
My 'drawer' is that the US has a deeply dysfunctional system, and it's in even deeper denial about itself. The lack of education is also a major concern, as is the whole 'fuck you' mentality of all the disenfranchised folks; and the even bigger 'fuck you' mentality of the people in money and power.

The only thing that could possibly help it is a pluralist democracy, but I guess that would be too boring, and just wouldn't advance the joyful hate of the binary system.
I have a hard time believing you after Trump said that he would get someone to repeal Roe V Wade and now he has the house and senate to do it.
Especially in criminal law this can be done. For the other areas of law software could really help.
There are decent platforms for searching cases/articles, but they're all mostly keyword based.

I totally agree - the problem is that for every degree of warming Trudeau will raise the carbon tax 5%.
I'd say its in transition on the whole, but especially in IT. Massive companies like Sony, Toyota, Nissan, etc. still have a lifetime employment structure, but once you get hired to any company here, it's still real hard to get fired.
Answering your question would really take a small essay because the answer is yes and no for SO many reasons.

EDIT: I think I misread your question the first time. It can be difficult mostly because firms here are used to having employees who are generalists, work in every part of the company through the years, and become upper management who have a much needed knowledge of the whole company. In the west in general, we focus on one area and change companies to grow our skills in that field. This is a problem because its really hard to change companies in Japan and Japanese employers often want you to learn new skills to work in different areas of the company. In short, it's difficult to become a specialist in Japan without sacrifice (usually salary). But there are many new technology companies that are trying to change that pattern.
I am a student of the university of Waterloo and I have lived in San Francisco on two separate occasions in both San Francisco / Mountain View.

Are you seriously comparing SF living to Waterloo living? There's a reason it's 1/4 the price. It's a running joke between every single undergraduate student with significant experience in SF that we want to get out of Waterloo.

LRT opening up? That's a joke. How exactly is the LRT going to help the startup scene?
All? C'mon, the markets are not going to zero. If they did, money would become worthless anyway.

Trump is likely going to be very business friendly, and after the initial shock wears off the markets will recover and move on.

French tourists are very common in Japan, although I think it might be because of exposure to pop culture rather than emigration. They have an unfortunate habit of strip-mining retro video game stores and reselling everything at ten times the price back home.

"So the question is, why stick to a language just because it is well established."

You answered the question yourself:

"but decided to convert to Python afterwards to make it easier to distribute to other people"

Languages are platforms. They have vast distribution, incumbency, developers, apis etc. - and that has a lot of value.

Imagine if you did dev on Julia - how do you hire devs?

Julia has a very, very small mind-share - in order for it to reach 'platform status' it really has to cross a threshold, and for that - it has to provide significantly more value.

I'm also curious to know 'how much faster' it is - couldn't those performance problems be solved with more horsepower?

Developers have a terrible habit of over-optimizing for performance, which usually comes at the cost of complexity.

Anyhow - I know little about Julia so I'll hold my tongue, maybe it's the bees-knees ...

It'd be great to see some data points.
You're more right than you think. You reached such a tax bracket but for many of us who are much more powerless (like me), for many of us we can't wait 2 or 4 years.
Europe is having a lot of issues integrating their own intra-continental migration (Poles, Hungary, Romania, etc.), let alone American immigration. This is a privileged position that poor immigrants don't have. It's a bit ironic.

Believe what you want. Bad times are coming, prepare accordingly.

edit: and let me clarify, because you misunderstand me. The size of the US economy is one thing, but the stability of an ally's political system and leadership is another. The UK and the US have taken hits that will play out over a long term and are not easily reversible, at a time when the alliance has serious challenges and very capable adversaries.
Well, there's putting the brakes on globalization, fewer foreign wars, lower government spending (and probably some progress on reducing the national debt, which has increased more in the last eight years more than all of the 232 years prior to that, combined), among other things.
Under Trump there is little chance that the US wouldn't enter a trade war with China since Trump has already publically declared that he will leave China as a currency manipulator. China is already struggling with massive over capacity in about every industry and needs the export market to export the resulting deflation. It is unlikely that China is going to see another market as large or as willing to absorb imports as the US market has been.

China is struggling with massive amounts of bad debt and a sharp downturn in trade could set China down the path of a deflationary depression. The end result may be beneficial if China is able to rebalance its economy but no economy that has grown debt as fast as China has recently has ever been able to do it without massive deflationary disruption (including the US).

Generally the world seems to move toward greater integration and trade and then step back in a two steps forward one step back pattern. Trade is generally collapsing globally and this may be another shot across the bow.

This has the definite possibility of trying to catch a falling knife.
