Whatever you think about Trump or the policies in that document, it's clearer and more concise than anything I've seen from an elected official.
Also, airy promises are not only cheap - it's a dessert wax and a floor topping! - but highly available and widely distributed in the Business Blockchain environment!

The other main code dump on hyperledger.org is Intel's. Their "Sawtooth Lake" replaces the blitheringly stupid and wasteful Proof of Work with something equally stupid but less wasteful, Proof of Elapsed Time, which might as well be called Proof of Buying An Intel CPU. Rather than have miners compete to produce the next block, a timer running in an environment secured by a DRM mechanism built into your Intel CPU picks if you get to do the next block. The white paper is an extended advertisement for Intel® Software Guard Extensions™ (SGX™). Also, they only have a simulated Proof of Buying An Intel CPU mechanism as yet.

This doesn’t provide any security against malicious participants; the excuse is that private blockchains need speed over security. You might think that at that point you don’t need a blockchain at all, but you’re hardly going to sell any consultant hours with that sort of thinking.
The NYT’s election forecast needle is stressing people out with fake jitter
Here is a document from the Trump campaign about his short term goals, I hadn't read it yet when I posted above but I think most of my points survive: https://assets.donaldjtrump.com/_landings/contract/O-TRU-102...

No mention of ending abortion. I agree that it would be sexist and catastrophic if it happens, especially given the state of american health insurance coverage.

EDIT: from this document it looks like he plans to target undocumented immigrants who have a criminal record -- the process will probably be very disruptive, I think this is the single policy of Trump that could cause the most human misery, but it seems possible that the process could give the others a more secure status.

Back in the HDD age, you had to optimize applications for sequential I/O and minimize disk seeks. When you tested your software, you could audibly hear the HDD grinding away with seeks. With an SSD there's no feedback like slow loading or seek sounds to indicate you have bad I/O patterns or are constantly writing to the drive. This certainly isn't the first case of an app going crazy with writes.

A great testing tool would be to induce latency on seeks or keeps track of writes / fake disk seek sounds to avoid these kinds of problems going undetected during development.

Whenever someone tells me about the "nordic blessings" I tell them to "junte" the "law" up.

Smaller, more homogenic countries compare badly to more populated heterogenic ones.

Also: norway's oil example holds up since the once poorer than Swedes Norse outperformed the Swedes because of this. 1-2 generations earlier, "nordicly blessed" Norse were the house maids and guest workers for the Swedes. Nowadays it's Swedish students doing Norway's dishes.

Also Sweden maybe high rated in terms of social mobility, but only until the highest income percentiles are reached. Above that it's way way harder to reach compared to other first world countries. So while you can climb up more easily than normal the social latter, it's steps mean less than normal and you'll almost never make it into Sweden's 1%. A category that is the most open in the US of A.
> Destroying the Electoral College would be one more step in destroying the federal nature of the Unites States. Perhaps you think that's a good thing, but I think it's a terrible idea: I think that we should be more, not less, federal. What works for the people of Massachusetts is not what works for the people of California, or the people of Wyoming.

The electoral college is a net-negative contribution to the federal nature of the US because it allows a tiny, extremely unrepresentative minority to decide for the whole country while eroding the legitimacy of the executive branch, a legitimacy that is a key component of our system. Californians deciding policy for MA or WY due to sheer size is bad but that's how democracies and republics are supposed to work. A single precinct deciding for the entire nation is a perversion of the process that does nothing but destroy faith in our electoral process.

Besides, the executive branch is largely irrelevant to American federalism. We can eliminate the top layer of the executive branch today and the US government would still be as federal as ever because that's how our state and national legislatures are structured. The president has little power over the day to day of the average citizen and all of the hierarchies that do have that power are headed by people confirmed by the Senate.

> Also, the Constitution states, 'No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any Duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.' Has Congress consented to this interstate compact?

This issue is actively being debated by constitutional scholars precisely because of the popular vote compact. The general consensus is that Congressional consent is needed only if the interstate agreement is "directed to the formation of any combination tending to the increase of political power in the States, which may encroach upon or interfere with the just supremacy of the United States" (emphasis mine), which was a precedent set by the Supreme Court in the early 1800s. That last part means that Congressional approval is only necessary if the agreement threatens the superiority of the federal government. Furthermore, a state's right to choose how its electoral votes are allocated is a right enumerated in the Constitution and the only power Congress has is to set how many electoral votes each state gets.

All of that is irrelevant anyway because there is no actual treaty or official agreement due to how the legislation is structured. Every state that has joined the compact has legislation to the effect of "All of the electoral votes for this state will go to the winner of the national popular vote if and only if similar legislation is active in enough states to tie 270 or more electoral votes to the national popular vote." No one from the federal government can stop them from doing this.

Oh I totally get that conservative voters have a wide range of opinions... but they're still in control of the government.

Socially liberal fiscal conservatives might not like this administration's social changes, but conservative fiscal legislation will get much less scrutiny since the Democrats have almost no power. Vice versa for the rare fiscally liberal social conservatives.
Obamacare failed and he's a failed President and should feel bad about himself

Isn't that exactly what Republicans were saying? Trump wants to repeal Obamacare first and then replace it with something "much better, believe me".

In good and bad, ACA was a big part of Obama's legacy. What are the yardsticks that should be applied to the Trump presidency?

How many coal mines will be back in business and turning a profit? By what date will Apple be forced to bring back manufacturing into USA? When will American airports and roads become the best in the world?

Those are a few of his most clearly defined goals, like healthcare reform was Obama's.
Once the population is "well educated" they will start to ask intelligent questions which will then prevent them for voting for someone like Trump (or most republicans in general).

So it's in his/their best interest to keep them uneducated.
A Muslim is a follower and believer of Islam. A non-Muslim from a Muslim country is not a Muslim, while a Muslim is. I really don't get why you're asking this. I assume the answer would be obvious if we were talking about Christianity or libertarianism or any other distinct set of beliefs: if you believe in them, you are a believer.

Whether any belief system has the potential to cause problems for a society depends on the content of that belief system and the content of the belief systems already present in that society. In the case of Islam in particular, there are two facts worth noting:

First, a strong case can be made for major compatibility problems of mainstream Sunni Islam (MAI) with Western societies. I won't go into details here, but very generally speaking, MAI has a theocratic component: Muslims should, in theory, strive towards the implementation of sharia law. As a body of laws and in terms of its axioms, sharia is simply incompatible with the Western legal tradition. I'm sure that what I'm saying here is not controversial among MAI Muslims. Your average Muslim (assuming he's honest) will corroborate this.

Second, Muslims come from a culture that is very unlike that of the US. Even if there were no incompatibilities, the bare fact that they're so culturally distant poses a barrier to the formation of the social bonds that are necessary for high trust, high cohesion communities and societies. In case that's not obvious: people generally bond more with others with whom they share the same cultural reference frame and state of mind.

Supposing you grant me these two arguments, then the potential for causing problems for a society is established. Whether that potential is actualized depends on the demographic weight a group has and the extent to which it is willing to compromise.

Speaking as a Dutchman (and realizing that the demographics of our Muslim population differ substantial from that of the US), it is clear to me that Muslims as a group cause problems in both senses. For example, in areas where there is a substantial Muslim demographic, there are now local political parties that explicitly cater to them. We never asked for this and we don't want it, but now we're stuck having to deal with it and with the social friction that comes with it. Another example: schools with substantial numbers of Muslim pupils are subject to great social pressures by this group, with some not being able to discuss certain topics anymore (Holocaust, criticism of Islam, cheering Muslim pupils during the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo shootings) and concessions being made at the cost of native students such as defaulting to halal food. If you want sources for any of these claims, let me know.
We have hundreds of years of evidence for why we shouldn't allow pure "free markets".

If the data isn't changing much, might I suggest a self-contained DB like H2 or SQLite?
I believe it. How much debt can a country go into before the lenders want it back? How many government programs have to exist for companies to shrivel? How does a county's reputation for being the global police affect it when it's sinking?

I don't think it's necessarily doomsday soon, but if it isn't fixed, it could lead to very dark places.
Then you need to meet more people, for sure. You're so wealthy that you don't even know what poverty looks like.

Don't know why your comment is getting down voted. I think that's the core issue here. Everybody loves that Apple provides high quality hardware, and a neat operating system that is very dev friendly (unixy). It is the choice of sacrificing compatibility for thinner and svelte that pisses some of us off.
The best would've been for them to choose DDR4 instead here and add more battery with the same size MBP as earlier versions. I'd have been perfectly happy.
Again, that's just me. Looks like there are several others perfectly content with Apple's choices.

So much for the "outsider not beholden to politics" argument eh? This is the GOP playbook of forcing anti-science partisans into important roles and gutting environmental regulations to please industry.

Also so much for the Trump supporter excuses of "Oh, he didn't really mean that, he just said that to get elected -- wink, wink, nudge, nudge," nonsense. Clearly climate change skepticism has become a mainstream view in the US government after nearly two decades of fighting these skeptics. Its incredible how much progress was lost last night.

1TB of data per year is small in today's terms. Seconding a lot of other comments here, the easiest option would be to just use redshift (amazon) or bigquery (google). You'll have to do some initial work to load this data up into one of those cloud databases but again, 1TB is not a lot. AWS and Google cloud both have some special handling of data for HIPAA compliance too

Finally, for this amount of data, you could easily build SSD based servers, load it up with lots of RAM and slap any open source DB on them too. It'll most likely be sufficient for your purposes.
> They predicted Clinton would win 70% to 20% early in the evening.

No, they predicted about a 70%:30% chance of Clinton vs. Trump win, not a 70% to 20% win by Clinton.

> I didn't read what they said about their process but they were completely off too.

It wasn't so much that they were completely off as that some people mistake a claim of probability > 50% with a claim of certainty.

Sure, the most-likely winner map was wrong in a number of states, but the reason 538 had a 30% chance of Trump winning rather than much lower chances given by other models was that 538 takes into account the fact that deviations in results from polling in different states tend to be correlated rather than independent.
Trump is offering slogans, not solutions.

The truth is, factories will come back to America, but jobs won't. Across all industries, labor is being replaced by automation.

In the next 4 to 8 years, self-driving vehicles will kill millions of driving and trucking jobs. Donald has no solution for it.
I can assure you that the 59-60 million people who voted for Trump do not all live in the countryside. The Trump voters also live right along with you, including in Silicon Valley. As mentioned before, they don't say anything because liberals immediately call them racist bigot white supremacists, even if they are an immigrant.

With my workflow the memory compression on macos does not help much. zram in Linux works much better. For example, few years ago I could run a couple of Eclipse instances and a browser with a few opened tabs on 2GB Chromebook, but 4GB Macbook Air with Yosemite struggled to run a browser, IDE and 1.7GB VM. It turned out that bumping VM size to 2.2 GB, activating zram there and running IDE inside VM lead to much more responsive setup.

I don't know anything about that site, but the employment rate has remained roughly constant since 2010, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of 2013 (when I last looked). The unemployment rate had declined by 3% since 2010, but the employment rate hadn't budged.

This was a puzzling stat. NPR(?) did an expose on how states were moving the long-term unemployed into disability programs to get them off the states' budgets and onto the federal government's rolls. Their investigation into the private companies that states outsource this to seemed to show that this practice accounted for much of the decline in the unemployment rate. The rest was people simply giving up the search.

So yes, the numbers are fudged more than they were in 2008. By shuffling employable people from one (state) agency to another (federal) agency, the politicians in power can brag that they've lowered unemployment without ever having to show any evidence of increasing employment. And states got to make room in their cramped budgets.

It's statistical slight of hand.

There is a selloff so the price is lower. Bonds pay an interest (in coupons). There is the face value (par). But you don't buy/sell bonds at face value, you buy them at market value. So what's interesting is the yield = coupon amount / market price (or just price).

Relative to other bonds US treasuries are a lot less attractive today.

http://www.investopedia.com/university/bonds/bonds3.asp

http://data.cnbc.com/quotes/US10Y

But the price is not that simple. Since bonds are paid periodically, the market price factors in the next coupon. Would you buy a bond at the same price 1 day before paying coupon than the day after? Of course not! So market price is called "dirty" because it has the next coupon implicitly considered. There are different ways to make it a "clean" price, depends on the country.
> I understand the anger of your people for us, Europeans, outsourcing the defense budget to American taxpayers (while it does come with some benefits).

This is not an act of altruism. US global hegemony dictates our military spending, regardless of what Europe does. We (at least the select few elite) reap the benefits of this arrangement. Hell, even the folks complaining in America aren't complaining about the money being funneled into the MIC in their district that creates good jobs to build weapons of war.
Education and training for what? This is the question people like you never answer. Welders are already trained--for welding. What are they supposed to do now? Retail sales?

Whilst the concision is nice, it's pretty hand-wavy and without definition.
Is this a policy problem?

I'd entertain a discussion that it was a policy problem and we should have had plans as we engaged in freer trade and globalization and saw imports starting to eat away at these jobs.

I don't think there is a policy to put the genie back in the bottle now and I don't think these people want anything else but that. (to speak in gross generalizations)

The old school manufacturing base provided jobs where a single earner with no notable education could buy a home, raise a family, maybe send his kids to college. And he had a union. It's hard to imagine it being that way ever again. You can re-train them but they aren't going to just become knowledge workers; worse they have to want retraining and this election sure didn't make it sound like they want that..

Capitalism and competition can be rough. Ways of life, jobs, ways of doing things, products, all that stuff can go away with ruthless efficiency in a free market.
On the contrary. If it weren't for the electoral college, we'd be governed, in effect, by a handful of coastal mega-cities. Whole states would have a voice equivalent to a rounding error.
