> In NL and Finland and the like, prison is more like forced rehabilitation - it recognises that committing crimes have a reason, and by solving the reason you solve the criminal behaviour.

As a Dutch guy, I agree with this in general. However, what the system does not take into account is that some people are just broken beyond any hope of ever being fixed. For example, there was a news story a while back about some petty criminal who stole some iPhones from a locker room and got caught. It was the 163rd time he got arrested. How do you deal with someone like that in a civilised manner ?

What really happened in VA is that McAuliffe restored the voting rights of people who had already served their time and were back in society. This is a power of the governor under VA law and therefore not voter fraud.

It's also worth mentioning that the idea of restoring voting rights for people once they have served their time has bipartisan support--in part because so many people have served time for nonviolent marijuana possession convictions. Take a look at the election results to see how the country feels about marijuana possession these days.
Ask HN: What's the right CRM for this law firm?
I have a few websites setup and I send POST requests for each submission so that the relevant users receive an email with the info from the contact form.

After the submission is submit it should automatically be added to the CRM as a lead I need my users to be able update those leads with more information, add tags, put them as part of a "case" and then as the users follow up with the lead also see emails that were sent, calls that were made, and most importantly be able to upload files attached the lead/client (retainer, questionnaire, records, etc).

Capsule was decent but didn't really have anything for putting things together as a case. Lexicata doesn't allow you to store documents with the users. My other issue with Lexicata is the developers, I looked at the github profiles of the people that put it together and they had a novice rails developer who did the project and it came out looking like an MVP (to be fair the developers github profile consisted of todo lists and other hello world apps). Scaffolded rails project with a pre-bought dashboard theme. Looks like after they got funding they hired on a bit more experienced rails developer but still not sure if I'd trust my company with that. This is a shame, because they are super close to what I need as it does a good job at taking in http requests for the intake automation, it does mass mailings, allows notes and updates to the user, but doesn't store documents (a big need).

Looking for guidance on what to go with as this will likely be used for quite awhile and big undertaking moving away from our local solution so need to be worried about the saas shutting down. I have a large local database currently that I can export as csv so the CRM needs handle an import (most can do this easily).
Yeah. There's going to be millions of words spouted about this in the next week or so from people trying to explain the result, but I think the simple reality - as with Brexit - is that a large section of society are just sick of the way they are being treated.

Perhaps due to overconfidence (to the point of arrogance) that they'd win, as with Brexit, some on the 'losing side' have to tell themselves, or anyone that will listen, that people who voted differently did so because they're stupid, misled or otherwise didn't know what they were doing.

People who voted Trump and people who voted Brexit knew exactly what they were doing and had their own real and personal reasons for doing so.
As of this writing, Trump has drawn fewer votes than McCain in 2008 and substantially less than Romney in 2012. He even has less than Hillary. So I'm not sure I agree with this analysis about rural voters - at least not with respect to it being anything unique to this particular election.

What seems more likely is that there was an enthusiasm gap for Hillary Clinton as a candidate. It's about the electoral college in the end, and a Democrat like Hillary, who lacks the charisma of Obama, was going to have to bring out minorities, young voters, and college educated voters in droves to win. She simply was not able to sufficiently do this.

To win the rural vote back, the Democrats need a different kind of candidate, none of the ones that they have offered have been able to do this since 2000.
>"I love the poorly educated."

Well, Hillary Clinton and her supporters hate the poorly educated, and look where that got them.
The average voter does not read newspapers. This is obvious from the decline in circulation, not necessarily the election result.
Nothing unexpected enough happened that people suggested this. The results weren't far from polls.
I'm reminded of the asari, an all-female race of aliens from Mass Effect. They reproduce asexually and so don't actually have sex, but there's a thing they do called "embracing eternity" that's very pleasurable for both partners and somehow lets the asari introduce genetic variation into their offspring.

(They also look very sexy -- to several different species -- allowing them a wide pool of partners to "embrace eternity" with.)

Of course I see the difference. But think of the perspective of the state here. The state must protect the life of the child, as it is a full citizen of the state.

When an infant dies of natural causes it's usually trivially simple to rule out murder. But in the case of miscarriage/abortion the procedure for early-term abortion simply causes a miscarriage. So in order to adequately protect the life of the child we'd need to be able to determine if the miscarriage was forced or not.

What, in your view, is the ideal role of the state as a protector of life in this situation?

Personally, I refuse to draw a distinction between illegal immigrants and all immigrants, assuming that when you say "illegal immigrant" you mean someone who only broke the law by coming to the US via unapproved means.

It should not be criminal to just enter the country. There would be no "illegal immigrants" if they were allowed or had the means to enter the country legally in the first place.
It's not a narrative! The election was literally not a landslide. Vote numbers are available everywhere in all sorts of level of detail.

This is a conversation. Disagreeing with you doesn't make it something else.

Things to Do After Installing CentOS
I think you need to go out a little bit more.

A few ideas:

* register to a running race such as a 10k or half-marathon. It's a nice motivating goal and it will do a lot to ease your anxiety and depression
* pick up dancing. Options depend on what's available in your area. Salsa, or better swing. You will find a lot of people like you in swing. You don't need to date there, and you can make friends with people too, to start with. It's also good exercise
* Invest in a creative hobby. For example, look into cooking (instead of eating out), blogging regularly or put time into photography. This can take time but can be very fulfilling

These are really about working on you, instead of focusing on women. Put your heart into it. And then things will work out

I have a bit more advice, if you like.
I dunno why you're getting down voted as this is a clear point to make. A fun game I like to play when I read these sorts of things in the news is to reverse the causation implied by what I'm reading. Often times it make more sense. In this case:

Those with better mental health are more likely to do Scouts and guides in their youth.
The landing page seems a bit long. Users probably don't care about your team. They probably care about your pricing more. Put it at the top. Because the call to action is whipping out a credit card. Then worry about justifying it. Get to 'No' quick. A/B test on pricing will be easier if it's at the top. Putting it at the top casts the light on whatever dubious business case has been made for a free plan. Anchoring the value to zero dollars seems like something that needs significant research to justify.

The pitch seems a bit at odds with bottom up marketing: the bulk of Slack users probably aren't highly enthusiastic about sentiment monitoring and analytics as a feature.

Overall, the design seems more than a bit tuned toward selling investors at the expense of selling a useful product. Fundraising is a means to an end.

Good luck.

India actually uses a rather simple strategy to keep car jobs. We simply tax all car imports at 100%. Full car kit imports that need to be assembled in India are taxed at a lower rate and companies that manufacture and setup local supply chains get tax concessions. Guess how global car manufacturers respond.

In a labor heavy supply chain like car manufacturing, it still boggles my mind why major consumer markets like the US would allow easy car imports at all.

I had to pick something i was familiar with too. We need this on a shorter timeframe (when is that not true? haha), and evaluating a language is hard.

As it is, this was a partial reason against Rust for me. After my time learning Rust, i'm still not 100% confident in my ability on it. My lack of experience and thusly productivity-hit is a real factor i had to calculate. Moreso with the rest of the team.

With Scala/etc i would be learning it new myself, and it was a gamble i wasn't going to take. Especially because our application is not intensive to specific problems that some languages excel in (concurrency, etc).

I'm sticking my neck out choosing a language, so i wanted to be quite sure i make the right choice for us. Well, as best i can - i am new in this shop after all.. i hope i made the right one :)

I don't think you clearly understand what 70% means. If you call 70% and it doesn't go the other way three times out of ten, you were poorly calibrated.

A lot of people seem to have read 70% as "no worries", which is simply wishful thinking, and now are blaming Nate Silver for being "wrong".

If your doctor told you you have a 70% chance of surviving the week, you probably wouldn't call that a "sure thing".
You are looking at old polls that are now provably non-representative. Trump's working class support blew Romney's numbers out of the water.

Exit polls show that Trump made massive gains in the under 30k and the 30-49k brackets, compared to the previous election.

Higher than 50k income brackets leaned more towards clinton than in the previous election.

I can't personally justify using chrome over safari on my macbook though, I don't last the entire day with chrome but do with safari. Any other alternatives?
Yeah, exactly. You'd need to go to one of the big companies to need those skills, so you usually get companies who want some sort of API glued together with off-the-shelf components, mainly because smaller companies are much more numerous than larger companies and off-the-shelf is good enough at small scale.

This wouldn't cut it at the companies you mention, I agree. I think the main thing is that the actually valuable skills (being able to figure things out on your own, having an intuitive sense for when a solution is suboptimal even when you don't know the optimal solution, knowing design patterns, etc) are transferrable, so a good developer could work on either thing.

It probably wouldn't take two hours to become acclimated, but after a short ramp-up period, they'd be pretty good at it.

> The tone is that a racist demagogue who made up lies off the top of his head at every speech was found acceptable by (almost) a plurality of voters.

The alternative was what? A corrupt rich white woman who has been involved in politics since the 1970s, who has been behind the curve of history at almost every step (saying stuff like blacks are superpredators and video games caused Columbine and not getting behind gay marriage until a couple years ago).

> The tone is that voters have been proven to be manipulable through fear to blame people of other races and nationalities for whatever economic conditions are unfavorable to them. The tone is that the truth and nuance of these issues are now irrelevant in elections.

This has always happened. Why is it that when poor minorities vote for their economic well-being it is seen as progress but when poor white people do it it's seen as racism?

> The tone is that serial bullying and abuse of women is not a disqualifier for what should be the most-respected office in the nation.

Bill Clinton.

Your concerns are heard, but they'd be a lot more believable if the person who didn't get elected was not the face of hypocrisy.

I didn't vote for Trump. I just don't think simplifying an election about the economy into something about race or bigotry is acceptable. It's dishonest.

The working class has been gutted for years because of neoconservative and neoliberal views. Surprise - the class of people most rejected who receive poor educations and don't have a window into the modern economy have some unfavorable views on some issues.
This was a nice article, but can anybody reference a longer, more mathematical analysis?

At least here they talk about weighting the polling results, but I would really like to know how, exactly.
I'm not sure if this would work for you, but using something like Electron and having your go program output HTML/JS/CSS as your UI works really well with go (or have your go program output JSON or something to communicate with the front end)

If you throw something like react on there, you'll have a pretty simple functional UI, but if you don't want that there's nothing wrong with HTML/CSS and as little JS as you can get away with.
This is very interesting. This particular whiptail lizard carries 3 sets of DNA, instead of the regular 2 that the sexually reproducing species have.

This seems to be a hybrid species that resulted from the sexual reproduction of two different species many thousands years ago.

From the 3 sets of DNA, 2 are from the ancestral mother and 1 from the ancestral father, and using this trick, each generation manages to keep the whole DNA information of the original two without loosing it, like it happens in the sexual reproduction, and also provide enough genetic variation in newborns to allow evolution.

So I would say that basically, each individual is the child of that ancestral pair that generated this lineage.
Perfect code doesn't exist. The only goal is to accomplish a task good enough, and rewrite as needed, we're humans here, not perfect code writing bots.

Ideally your code will do what your business needs it to do, not what people claim they need, since often those are two very divergent things.

Not defending theranos, but I'm surprised that something so ineffective could even make it into production. Do you happen to know if their tests were absolutely bogus, or were they just not accurate enough to be clinically valid ? I mean, round up ~25 HSV+ test patients, and ~1000 HSV- samples, and hand them over randomly to a statistician and you should know, right ?

It seems like if they were just not accurate enough, they could have tried to save face and call it a "screening", while acknowledging that it's not as conclusive as a test. If it's easy and convenient, you could weed out type 1 errors (false positives) in subsequent standard testing, while acknowledging that the test isn't 100% accurate (has type 2 errors).

You can't do any of these examples in one month. Impossible to train a marathon without injuries in one month. Can't write a good book in one month (unless you've been preparing for it in the past year). Code a game yes. But that's assuming you have a fair amount of experience

My challenge would be to clean up diet. That's doable.
Whats the 4,072.. an the1,218...numbers youre adding?
That's not really an answer though. Females could choose to reproduce asexually. Even some large animals can still do it, like sharks. The mystery is why they don't do it all the time. What's the genetic benefit of making daughters that need males to reproduce, instead of making daughters that can clone themselves? Handwaving about "introducing variation via sex" doesn't help, because bacteria are the fastest evolving critters around and they reproduce asexually.
Seems like you hate the poorly educated, and you're just attributing that to Trump.

Now only that, you're assuming that uneducated people are gullible. You're stereotyping a broad group of people without any evidence.
> The real story is that with more than half of the country sitting out the voting process

Are you surprised by that? Properly voting costs a lot of money. I spent hours researching my options and another hour just walking to and from the voting dropoff location. When you add up all the time it takes to research an election and vote, multiply that by your personal time value of money, multiply that by the probability that it will change the election and then multiply it by the benefit of having 1 candidate over the other on your personal economic outlook, the individual voters cost/benefit is abysmal.

I'm amazed so many people actually do vote.

>>Spoiler: I'm Muslim. Interacting with you, online, in a civil manner.

Good and thanks for it. I do have many Muslim friends, some from Kurdish land. They are real good people.

>>copy paste some nonsense /b/ bullet points about how "Islam does X" in order to help you ignore the real human - this one, right in front of you! - telling you that faulty generalizations in the service of your priors is the telltale mark of a bigot. Go ahead, do what you want to do. And then, for the love of God - go to a doctor.

Who is doing a faulty generalization here? You may indeed be a good person despite being a Muslim, I have no problem in accepting that. But that doesn't make the ideology of Islam good.

And why only you? There are hundreds of thousands of people out there who are good despite being Muslims. Hundreds of German people living under Nazi regime were good. Does it make Nazism good? No.

>>I've spent too much of my life listening to hate preachers try to misinterpret various Surah and Hadith to achieve objective (x); x is almost always silly, always nationalistic, and always wrong.

Okay, tell me, how, according to you, Islam tells its followers to treat apostates?
Also, tell me, how, according to you, Islam tells its followers to treat homosexuals?

I base my criticism of Islam on such issues.

>>which you still refuse to acknowledge, and which again, is sad and worrying and a sign that you please, should see a doctor for this anxiety - reminds me very much of the behavior of a typical hate preacher.

Thanks for your concern about my health, I am doing fine. Let me assure you, I don't preach hate. I am doing what I can do to help people realize the dangers posed by the ideology of Islam and I am telling them that do not confuse Islam with Muslim people. How is this hate preaching?
There are several problems with this analysis.

First, it's based on the same older self-reported exit polling that led 538 to completely mispredict the election, so you should immediately be skeptical of the data.

Second, it only takes into account self-reported current income blocks, not change in income over the last decade or so, which is what many Trump voters are angry about. For example, making $70k today might seem ok if you look at the table and see median state income is only $65k, but that means nothing to someone who made $90k in 2007 and has never been able to get income back to that level.

Third, it also ignores future predictions based on current state of affairs for voters. It's not very comforting if you make higher than the median income in your area, but your job is on the chopping block. Trump picked up far more non-college educated voters, for whom future job prospects look worse and worse every year, even if they have gainful employment today.
The argument isn't that they're worse off than Clinton voters, but that they're worse off period.

This is the old American middle class that did well without a degree usually employed in manufacturing and who usually reliably voted democrat.
