Lol that comment could come across as insulting ;) Is it? I'll assume it's not. First, you're trying to present it as a problem with me, instead of a problem with society. Although well-intentionned, it is often a liberal bias: "Some people are stupid/bogans/racists/elderly, that's why they vote X". It goes as far as dismissing those people's votes as invalid, and suggesting they shouldn't be allowed to vote.

Unfortunately, democracy means everyone belongs. We need to take care of needs of all people, even people like me, even though I'm depressed, even though I've had an unpleasant bringing-up with bad girlfriends and hateful leftist highschool friends. Bullying someone because has later consequences in terms of democracy, and it's your responsibility.

Second, Devoxx keeps giving talks about how women are opressed, while my employer keeps promoting women who don't know what an HTTP Header is. Said promoted women keep complaining that they're paid less than their male counterparts who knew what HTTP Headers were because they had to wait 7 more years to be promoted. Is it alright that I feel a dishonest discrepancy? Is it ok that I don't have any hope for my future?

All help goes towards minorities who barely work enough to deserve their spot. Today, I'm the one who needs help. I've worked hard, but now I need a bit of love. Can anyone see that my career has been unfair when I was an employee, bcause promotions were given to women? I've created my company and it succeeded better than competitors, is that a sign that I was competent? What I need today is people who appreciate what I'm giving to the world, both in donations and hard work, and for people to stop depicting me as a white male. Hence my sentence: All I need is a bit of love, especially from liberals, to stop voting against minorities. I'm all for inclusion, and as long as "inclusion" includes shy nerds I'm ready to support everyone else.
You're too kind to Obama. Obama did troll his opponents on many occasions (like saying snarky things about birth certificates). He ran on a better type of politics, but he gave up on it very quickly, to phrase it charitably.
As someone from a country which strongly depends on NATO (Lithuania, former Soviet state, shared border with heavily militarized Russian territory Kaliningrad), you are spot on.
What we refuse to accept about Donald Trump (2015)
Yes, but what I should have expressed more clearly is that it's a better predictive variable than mere age.

Not the death penalty specifically, but anti-ECHR campaigning has been going on for years. (Yes, I know that's not quite the same as the EU). And I do feel that there is a big, vague punitive component to both Brexit and Trumpism.
To nitpick, the Estonian and Latvian Nations have existed for almost 1000 years.

The Nation-states are not that old, but there are many young nation-states in Europe.
It's definitely financial. The usual short-sightedness of CEOs who want to maximize the next quarterly result at the expense of long-term planning.

Same reason why all types of infrastructure are crumbling in all of the Western world.
"We" (an editorial we) ran on "Trump will do for the United States of America what he did for the United States Football League; and that he will be no better president than he was a businessman."

I don't remember anyone saying that Romney was racist. I remember many saying that he represented the very wealthy rather than the middle and poorer classes.
One thing about Canada is that its service industry moves very slowly.

The ^ site being down for the last 4+ hours is a good example.
Ukraine was pretty much never independent.

No shared history, with Kiev having been capital of Russia for 3-4 centuries?
Very true. Allow me to add the fact that it has been shown (via wikileaks) that Hillary and the DNC conspired in the primaries process, specially against Bernie Sanders, invalidating her even more in the final voting.
> But it became clear to me that the "other side" is not interested in being assuaged. They are not interested in facts, or empathy, or calmly discussing how to face an uncertain and complex world.

Yep. We're all racists and xenophobes and our views have no rational basis. Please feel free to make sweeping judgments about what anyone who voted against Hillary Clinton must be thinking.

Please keep up this rhetoric so we can win in 2020, too!
Or, you know, she could have apologized for some of the things people were upset about with respect to the interminable lying and weasel wording.
I presume this will not be the right forum to ask. But I'm a foreigner and I exchanged euros to INR for about 50K INR (cash to cash). I didn't keep the receipt for this. How could I get my money exchanged or transferred back to my (Irish) bank account.
Out of topic: I saw your other comment, I can't upvote it because it's dead (probably for other reasons), but thank you very much for your testimonial, support and encouragement.
The bottle was a'calling
I moved UK->DK a year ago, ahead of the rush. I said I would, if UKIP got too many votes in the European election.

Since then, two friends have moved from London to Berlin, two others are planning to move to Frankfurt, two others have job offers in Stockholm or Malmø. (This is three couples.) Another friend has applied for a position in Lund.

Only 3/7 of these people are British, so the other 4 have already made a similar move.
Nothing strange or even very interesting, just two general things.

First is that it should allow applications to reduce the number of persistent UI elements they draw to screen without actually losing context.

Second is it will let me jettison the cognitive load of remembering so many application-specific keyboard shortcuts.
Correct, eLance and other similar websites are an absolute waste of time unless you are ok with competing only on price and you have a very low cost of living.

* Build a web presence that funnels potential leads to you (blog, portfolio, resume, stackoverflow profile with activity like posting questions/answers, programming/freelance subreddits, github contributions and projects).

* Build your personal network via meetups, conferences, etc.

* Toptal [1] is the best platform for finding gigs that I've used, but it could be better. It has short-, medium-, and long-term contracts. Not the best possible rates and it's possible to waste some time with interviews, but it's still a lot better than elance and others.

* Gun.io [2] is something that looks interesting, but I have never gotten a contract through it. So could be hit or miss.

So you used the word "nigger" to describe your distaste for "hip hop culture"? Nice. You sound like a real class act.
Software is NOT easy to outsource.

I have been part of many outsourcing projects over the last 15 years, and I can count on one hand the number of those that have been acceptable.

Outsourcing requires a completely different style of management than of a local team of developers. I have had better luck outsourcing art and animation tasks. But even there cultural barriers pop up all the time.
Have you seen this?

Why Silicon Valley Is So Terrified of Donald Trump
The Mexican example isn't racism. If you turn it around and look at US citizens that are fleeing the US to Mexico, it wouldn't surprise me if they also were more likely to be criminals. If you're running from the police - on either side - you'd want to hop the border, and not because either Mexicans or US citizens are genetically prone to being rapists.

Stefan Molyneux had a great video on this subject, with some actual facts:

As an European, I am less afraid of Trump than as the potential source/cause of wars.

Time will tell if I am right or wrong.
Can someone explain the terms "black money" and "white money" in this context?
I'll gladly stand corrected... but where do I find the product then?
Maybe not the right forum to ask, but given the expertise on India here it's worth a shot. I exchanged euro to INR (cash to cash) about 50K INR. I did not keep the receipt. What would be the easiest way to get the money exchanged or transferred to my (Irish) bank account?
Say what you want about president Luthor, but he was at least smart (albeit evil and corrupt).
Give the kid a break. He's making an app, let him show it to people - antics aside.
That is questionable, after all even Trump managed to do so, even if the Republican party was against him at a given point.
Yes. Were you paying attention to the rhetoric that got him elected? A lot of it, if taken literally, was literally impossible. It worked, but it shouldn't be taken too seriously beyond that. Will he have some interesting policies? Yes. Will he follow through on many of the crazy things he said while campaigning? No.
Funny thing about the "people still get knifed at Old Firm games" comment itself is that it raises something that isn't really a problem so much anymore (Rangers/Celtic hadn't met in four years until September, where there was one arrest out of ~60,000 fans) and misses the stuff that really is an issue - areas which are still deeply segregated + gang violence split along these lines, provocative/offensive songs, flags and banners used by both sides at the football

But as you said - it's nothing like what our grandparents' generation would have experienced, or what went on in Northern Ireland during the Troubles.

Don't we give them massive subsidies? I ask since I know my family back east in Iowa does get a ton of federal money for farming, which was what inevitably ended up destroying farming in Mexico, where it isn't heavily subsidized and thus can't hit anywhere near the same price point per bushel.
"I can literally say whatever I want and no one is going to flag or vote"

Fibs! I did, I did!
You have a good point. I just wanted to add that Baltic States haven't even been the most liberal/democratic part of USSR. In fact, some of the Latvian authors had to go publish their works in Moscow/St. Petersburg, because it wasn't possible in Latvian SSR. Speaking with older generations here, and I mean native Latvians/Estonians who had studied in Moscow/St. Petersburg, they often mention culture shock which they experienced there, as there was the whole Counterculture thing going on in Russia which was unheard of in Baltics.
Kaine brought Virginia, maybe, but that was clearly insufficient.
IMO: In quite many cloud services the SLA is only useful as some kind of vague indicator on what the system was designed for. The reason I'm saying this is that quite often you just get a small amount of service credits if the SLA is not met.

For many SaaS businesses the service credits are quite useless, because you provide so much value on top of the cloud services you purchase. You pay $1 for cloud and charge $50 from your customer for your app. If cloud is down, you get $0.10 as credits and need to credit $5 for your own customer (in good case).

(I'm not blaming the cloud providers for this. If they would offer better terms, they would need to anyways transfer the risk to their customers and significantly raise the prices or take the risk of going bankrupt in case of major problems).
Interactive brokers, python for data analysis, java for execution. Lots of math which I don't know good introductory material for.

But this year has actually been pretty boring. As the markets have gotten more stable, all the quantitative alpha has vanished. My only good trade this year was Brexit.
There is a lot of misinformation about this even from the local papers.it becomes law when the vote has been certified. I highly doubt it will be certified by end of day on Nov 9.they have to wait until all mail in ballots come in before they can declare the official results so most likely it takes effect sometime end of this week or early next week but I am sure cops will start treating it like it is law already since there virtually no chance it is not passing

If someone states that programming is only about learning APIs then I automatically assign him to the 'code monkey' category.
I agree with you. I'm definitely in the 'Silicon Valley liberal elite' category, but the conversation around people from 'flyover states' is generally unproductive, or even non-existent.
Instead of correlating voting trends with coast vs non-coasts, it's more correct to correlate them with newbies vs non-newbies. Newbies just happen to gather on places with more opportunities and these places often happen near the coast.

Simplifying: non-newbies feel that newbies are hurting them more than helping.
This is something that's been on my mind quite a bit. As an Indian who grew up mostly in the Middle East watching American TV shows (where I got much of my "culture"), I have some thoughts on this.

When I speak to American friends (especially as part of a larger group), I get many of the pop culture and other references which my Indian friends sometimes miss. I however, feel left out when I speak to some Indians because I don't get or appreciate many local idioms since I was never exposed to them. This can be isolating at times and I'm trying to make amends but that can be harder as you grow older.

I think that the best way to do it is to have deep roots in ones own culture (which is why they - especially the fragile ones - should be preserved) and then have a liberal education which opens your mind to external ideas. This comes from reading literatures of other peoples, languages, poetry, history etc. much more than a more "scientific" education that emphasises logic, problem solving, analytical skills etc. One of the reasons I bemoan the lack of emphasis on the humanities in primary education and am trying to compensate for this with my own children.

Having a deep understanding of ones own culture keeps one relaxed with it. No insecurity and resistant to attempts to appropriate it for political mileage. It also creates a sense of "being" and a "home" to come back to when you've had a bad day rather than lashing out.

Being open minded about others makes you receptive to people's ideas drastically different from your own and gives you the tools to assimilate them or parts of them into your own world view.

My own background has made me a cultural nomad of sorts. I don't feel any pride when I talk about any facet of my identity but I do miss having a deep historical well to draw inspiration and ideas from. A desire to be a link in a longer chain.
Seems like having the interior pay its own way by selling food and other resources would be quite a lot more efficient. It would also allow people to govern themselves how they see fit. It's a more humane solution IMO.
Seems you're right. I guess that update thing isn't super accurate since I saw "repeal" as the chosen decision.
> so (contemporaneous with the nation-state as a social organizing principle, BTW), the primary means of production shifted to capital, and now it's shifting to information. What kind of social organizing principle does that imply?

Agggressive, negotiators with awareness of cognitive biases like base-rate fallacy, asymmetry of information advantage, etc.... will form or create the organizing principles most likely.. I think of it and it becomes a pain thinking about the asymmentry of information. Hopefully, if it happens, we'll build a better deterrant against withholding information.

"There was no "150 years of occupation"

50 years by USSR + ~100 years by Russian Empire[0]

"integration efforts haven't really that "huge"."

Mass deportations[1] (5% of the population, most of whom died during severe Siberian winters), total ban of press and schools in local language[2][3], oppressive state police to prosecute or silently get rid of anybody standing against occupant government[4]. In my dictionary, that amounts to "huge" easily.

Remember that the UK is 80% white and London is 50% white; it's really striking how and probably relevant that the nonwhite population of the UK is concentrated in a few metropolitan areas.

But remember that "white" and "foreign" are not the same thing! Edinburgh has a substantial Polish community. I have coworkers from Ukraine and Romania.

"How cosmopolitan is Scotland, really" is a complex question. It's official policy of the very popular SNP, and there's little toehold for UKIP or xenophobic politics. I think they've quite successfully attached the free-floating blame to Westminster. While in the rest of the country blaming foreigners is more popular.

Having different press (including separate editions of the Mail and Sun) probably also makes a difference. Brexit is very much a long-term press project.

No one mentioned Tel-Aviv. We have excellent weather, food and beach. Google and Facebook have engineering offices in Tel-Aviv, and there are lots of start-ups here.

I'm not sure what's the process of getting a visa though. Jewish people can get citizenship relatively easy (Jewish state yada yada yada).

Good things happening to India.

They just pushed a reset switch on the parallel economy. But its not something that won't grow up again. This step was necessary. After this, they will have to bring down taxes for effectively preventing a parallel economy. And sometime in the future, something like a max-100Rs note will push users to use digital payments everywhere.

I think this is a safe experiment towards removing high-value currency notes. Won't be surprised if 2000 notes are recalled after some time and those might have been introduced just for convenience.

Its also a veiled attack on political parties, including his own (and they can't even complain)
Not everyone considers incubating their Shttr app to be the be all and end all.
There are at least two problems here: one is figuring out a solution and the other is communicating it to the general public in a politically correct manner. Perhaps if we agreed to talk in a more straightforward fashion without making it kind of a "who's going to feel offended first" contest, things would improve faster...
> I mean, I can understand voting for the other guy 'cause you don't have a job... but unemployment, by just about all measures, has been going down for about all of the time that Obama has been in office.

The unemployment rate only includes people actively seeking work. One often-toted statistic is that men have been dropping out of the labor market completely (i.e. not looking for work at all) at higher-than-normal rates. These are quite possibly also people who were Trump voters.

Well kind of, in the last century 1900-2000 in Australia, Greek and Italian immigrants weren't considered "white". The only immigrants that were considered white were from the UK (and maybe France, Germany, and the Nordic countries).

There is a semi-derogotary slang term used for people of that descent in Australia, but it escapes my mind at the moment. Nevertheless the people immigrated from Greece and Italy and made a significant impact on Australian culture.

I know it's largely hypothetical, but by not using data-, aren't you running the risk of namespace collisions in future? data- attributes are guaranteed not to ever have an 'official' version that the browser expects, while anything else may exist in the future.
But this was an election where voters strongly disliked both candidates, and voting "against" rather than "for" was at an all-time high. Doesn't that intense partisanship pushing the two parties further apart create some room in the middle?

The thing about the UK situation that most worries me is the smug left trying to grasp at any way they can to overturn the referendum result or undermine subsequent action. There seems to be the idea that of we just keep ignoring and denigrating hard enough then the morons will be safely put back in their box and we can go on as before.

It never occurs to them that that would just make everything even worse in the long run, that now is the time to understand and compromise. They still seek absolute victory.

The article could just as well have been written about the UK.
