Imagine you're a poorly educated working class person who's struggling.

You hear both candidates speak. Hillary says "We need to have empathy for those people," a phrase that's clearly referring to you by the surrounding context. She's obviously not talking to you, she's talking about you.

Trump says "I LOVE THE POORLY EDUCATED!!! And I know you're struggling and I'm going to fix it!"

He's talking directly to you.

Who do you vote for?

Does it even matter what she says at that point about empathy? No. She clearly doesn't even consider the possibility that a poorly educated person who's leaning Trump would even be in the audience. Does "We need to understand you people and empathize with you" sound inclusive? If you're in Camp Hillary it might. If you're not in Camp Hillary, well, those words are pretty much an admission that the in-crowd doesn't relate to you at all, or consider you one of them.

And that's the complete arrogance and obliviousness that allowed the left to lose an election to an extremely weak opponent.
Good point, I should've said he loves cheap H1Bs, who do you think works for the Trump Modeling agency for minimum wage..
I agree they were good, but the Cuba and the Iran deal both happened after Clinton's Secretary of State tenure, no? How did she make them happen?
Considering all the doom and gloom about the market tanking last night, this is a pleasant surprise.
> The physical function keys seem like more of an issue than escape, since I thought most people who use escape a lot in their work already use the capslock key in its place.

I assume you are talking about Vim users. The escape key is the default. Be careful about assuming that "most people" change the defaults, that's almost never the case.
Its crazy to me how different the information bubbles you and I exist in are: Everything I've seen over the course of this election pointed to Clinton being the one who would likely start WW3 and end the world in armageddon, while it would seem that you believe the exact opposite.

interesting.

Ask HN: How to guarantee success at a new job as a Senior Software Engineer?
Just got an offer for a new job as the Senior Software Engineer. What should my first 30 days look like? What did you do to ensure success?
I remain skeptical that anyone can be content contributing nothing. The Mosuo Cultural Development Association, which works directly with the Mosuo, has this to say:

"It is true that, traditionally, Mosuo women tend to take on most of the labour duties at home. They take care of the animals, tend the fields, etc. However, this is due to a historic division of responsibilities where Mosuo men were mostly traders, traveling long distances by caravan to trade with other groups. Since the men were frequently gone from home, the women were left to take care of the work. However, when the men were at home, they would also share in the duties there.

In modern times, the practice of having trading caravans has effectively ceased; with the result that one of the primary male roles has been rendered irrelevant. It is true, therefore, that you may often find men lounging around while women work hard; however, this is not universal (I've visited many homes where the men share in these duties equally with the women); and does not necessarily mean that Mosuo men are lazy…it indicates, rather, the need to define a viable new “male” role within the modern realities of Mosuo culture."

The idea that any person can be content to contribute nothing meaningful to a family/group/village/society completely misunderstands human nature.
The other thing is that it's the first thing they want to do now that they have both houses of congress and the white house.

Problem is, they don't have anything to replace it with yet.

I don't think the Republicans want to go back to what it was before. I think they want to keep some of the good things about it like being covered for preexisting conditions. I also know Republicans want to allow insurers to sell across state lines which would increase competition and drive down costs. People on both sides of the aisle have been saying this for years.

confirmed:

Modify existing law that inhibits the sale of health insurance across state lines. As long as the plan purchased complies with state requirements, any vendor ought to be able to offer insurance in any state. By allowing full competition in this market, insurance costs will go down and consumer satisfaction will go up.

https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/healthcare-reform

There's actually some other good ideas in there too.
"The people getting more than they put in are parasites; the people getting less than they put in are suckers. When you don't pay for your own healthcare, you don't care how much it costs. Go to any veterinarian's office to see the cost of medicine in a free market."

These are all problems with any system of insurance that involves risk pooling and are not unique to PPACA's reforms.
I don't think it's an oversight or misunderstanding, I just think it's a complete catastrophe.
Does Homeaway (public company) have to worry about these ordinances as well?
You'll have to define lies. To me one sounds more like a hypothetical, this is the plan and this is what we hope the outcome will be like. While the other is more of a standard lie, like, I know this isn't true, but I'm telling you otherwise.

Maybe if you had more similar examples?

One thing we have to be careful about is wrong associations, equating two things that actually differ subtly. As they say, the devil is in the details.
>I guess nobody around her who had an inkling dared to raise their hand. Can't even imagine what they'd say "Ma'am, people don't believe what you are saying, can you be more genuine a bit?"...

Check out of some of the leaked emails. I'm not sure if they said it to her directly, but they regularly remarked on how insincere and artificial she came across as.

It's interesting.

When you get a new job as a software engineer most people just want to be considered good at their jobs, while some select few strive to be considered great. maybe not so much for adulation and attention but to feel like they've mastered something and can thus offer advice to others, it's what drives us. In that pursuit of our definition of greatness we study constantly and try to improve our skills in every area and thus our need to be great drives the sharpening of our skills and leads to a self fulfilling prophecy (Our desire to become great leads to us pursuing more knowledge to become better and thus in time we become great)

Donald Trump's definition of great is clearly being admired and in the spot light. But I think he also defines greatness as being a leader, I think he also associates greatness with quality.

I'm not worried about this presidency one bit, his need to be great will drive him to be great by all definitions.
Buying land and making nature preserves out of it is an excellent and effective way for wealthy people to do good.
I agree with that myself. It's not an endorsement of the future.

What I think however is that we have to consider what it means to interact with the "real world".

If we filter out advertisements through augmented reality, will it get us closer to the real world?

If we can remove visual clutter, noise pollution, will the people without glasses be bombarded with spam they can't filter out?

Moreover, will the world become more real by knowing things about the meat on your plate that you currently can ignore? Will we be able to effort not knowing things?
1. While you're waiting for the market to correct itself, people would be getting evicted. Even if they get an apartment back, there's little public good accomplished in the interim. (And, at least from a cold economic perspective, a serious loss to the rest of the economy while they figure out interim housing.) Most of the reason we don't have a pure free market is because it's worth capping how bad things can be if everything goes wrong, even if that has the effect of capping how good things can be if everything goes right.

2. The other reason we don't have a pure free market is because we want cities to be able to make themselves into the sort of city they want to be. This is fundamentally why zoning is legal and accepted: a property owner doesn't have the right to turn an office building into a residence, or a storefront into a factory, at their own discretion. San Francisco may not want to be a city of Airbnb residents and no locals. We might think they're wrong, but they get to choose that.

Note that it would be very easy to arrive at the same situation from a pure-free-market perspective: the US government, with its guns, owns all the land in the US. It delegates ownership of the land in SF to the City of SF, a corporation, under certain conditions. In turn, the City grants long-term leases to landlords under certain conditions. Tenants don't have a right to renew their short-term leases, but the City has the right to decide which landlords keep their long-term leases, and chooses to let tenants have the ability to expect their leases renewed. People freely and rationally choose to live in US land instead of land where they can actually own their property, because it's economically better for them. This is exactly what happens right now, modulo changes in terminology.
Some do, some don't. Never underestimate the power of defaults.
> Sigh, the only think positive I can imagine coming out of this is that now, I get four years I can make fun of how stupid American's are.

it is this sentiment from the left that propelled trump to victory. Your elitism is disgusting.
An interesting read. Some tech-related points to highlight:

> Trump also understood that his massive brand and social-media presence—particularly on Twitter, which he mastered and where he had built up a huge following years in advance—allowed him to be his own media platform and bypass the gatekeepers. He could go directly to the public. “I love Twitter,” he tweeted in 2012. “It’s like owning your own newspaper—without the losses.”

> Anyone having the temerity to support Trump felt the backlash. Activists tried to get firms to cut ties with gay tech entrepreneur Peter Thiel, who spoke at the Republican convention in favor of Trump. They likewise attacked Palmer Lucky, founder of the virtual-reality firm, Oculus, which was acquired for $2 billion by Facebook, when it emerged that he was financing pro-Trump activism. NPR commentator Cokie Roberts labeled Trump supporters “morally tainted.” Trump staffers faced the threat of being blacklisted for working for him.
Are you statistics challenged? Even an attack on the level of 9/11 will be significantly lower than the number of Americans that shoot each other to death per year. If you want to read about the likelihood of a nuclear attack by terrorists, read Physics for Future Presidents. It's very, very low.
and most folks in that tax bracket are doing things, other than paying short-term gains or regular income tax, to reduce their burden significantly.
Numerical limits are set by Congress. If (and that's a big if) limits are raised, he might not veto them. Other than that, nothing.
Yes I think it is fair to include Canada in this list. MA, for example will still be illegal until Dec 15. But retail locations will not open until at least 2018.
So Nordic patients are paying less for the same treatments, and/or getting less aggressive care. (I don't know which or how much of both)

To the extent Norway pays less for the same drugs/treatments, they are funding a smaller share of the profits of biotech & pharmaceutical companies.

The US pays a significantly higher share of pharma/biotech profits than any other country (citation needed). We therefore contribute the most to the new research, new drugs and treatments developed by those same firms. I actually think this is one of the greatest things we do as a country.

Some people call this "overpaying" but I think of it differently.
Yet we do have the funds to pay for perpetual war in the Middle East and the military industrial complex? The money we spent on the Iraq war alone would have paid for years of free college.
>So this problem has nothing to do with economic or tax policy in the US. The question is: Where is the enormous sums of money we are ALREADY pouring into the system going?

The pockets of the oligarchy represented by Clinton and Trump.
"PR manager"? Try 'the CEO of IBM'.
Even for a developer... When I'm in the middle of development I'm running two or three Vagrant / VirtualBox instances on my laptop, along with a handful of Visual Studio instances and that can easily chew up more than 16GB of RAM.

Doing Node development... Not such a big deal.
Trump's number's were about the same as Romney's.

Which means 49m people spread out pretty much just right around the country will vote for anybody and/or probably anything with an (R) attached to it.
Whoops. For some reason I thought there was a PM function on this site, I guess I was wrong. Is there anything specific you'd like answered, or just my general opinions on the situation?
It's also a temporal issue -- Building housing lowers house prices in the future, restricting AirBnB lowers house prices today.
Perhaps he is, I've no idea. I, however, do live in Denmark and am able to point out that we get all that. Hell, if I spend money on health in Europe I get it returned by the state when I come back.

Does my being physically present at some point on this planet make the original argument any more or less valid?

Sure, we have many problems but actually getting good benefits and seeing our taxes put to use at our isn't one of them.
Marginal tax rates mean literally nothing.

Nordic countries pay significantly more in taxes any way you look at it. You'd get laughed out of the room if you talked to someone like Donald Trump about paying a 40% marginal tax rate.
I think it is fair to include them on my list. It is not necessarily legal in some of these states yet either. It will still take some time.
>As for likable, Hillary has been the most admired woman in America, 14 years straight. Trump ran the most negative fact free campaign ever to overcome her likability.

I seem to recall a great amount of distaste to her, even coming from other Democrats (including Obama's and Biden's campaigns), in the 2008 election. Most liberals I knew disliked or even detested Hillary back then, and now detest her more now.

I could think of hundreds more American women who deserve the title "most admired".
If the experience I'm having is any indication (very clunky, conversation works 50% of the time), I think you might want to iron things out a bit more before a Show HN like this.
The citizens were not always educated. Betting on education results in, you know, educated citizens.
> not compared to some smaller manufacturers.

Apple has a 10% market share.
You're basically saying that there is no hope of fixing the problem since what you're suggesting is never going to happen at any scale. If nothing else this tool, even if imperfect, offers some hope.
> I'm less worried about the accusations of racism

Why? They elected a guy endorsed by the KKK and white supremacists. At the very least this is a kick in the pants to minority voters (although 8% of black voters and 29% of latino voters went for trump).
Expect to be paid less but that money will go further - e.g. if comparing with Silicon Valley, there are many places worldwide where you'll be able to afford a much larger, nicer home and more services while earning a much smaller dollar amount.

In general, there's a scale/tradeoff of this, and California is on one extreme of that scale - there won't be any country that will pay even more, with the possible exception of some Saudi contracts or similar niches.
I guess there is no specific PM function. Is there anything specifically you want addressed, or just a general overview of some reasons why Clinton might have lost?
You're doing exactly what both sides have been complaining about: vilifying the other side and making assumptions. And you're doing it to someone replying to you in good faith.

Knock it off.
I used to work at New Relic and I think that is time to last byte. However, it would be "time to send last byte to his app" not "time to send last byte to his end users" from that view. The missing piece of the equation from his original post is the average size of the payload which would enable us to do more than speculate...
Same here! As someone who went to school for International Relations, this is so sickening. I live abroad and let me tell you, people are very upset around the world.
I'm generally for free trade, but there has to be a more equitable arrangement than what we've got now.

If the USA is enforcing environmental regulations for their factories, this will obviously cost more than just dumping used chemicals outside in a pit. So the cost of goods in another country will be less if it doesn't have good (or any) environmental regulations. This is separate from labor prices.

So it is not fair to the USA, and it isn't fair to the people living in countries without good environmental regulations.
No, you didn't. You completely ignored one of the reasons why Twitter is tanking. Tell me, why would I want to use Twitter 2 if every time I make a post I have a dozen people calling for my family to be raped and murdered?
> USB-C on the next iPhone

Not gonna happen, iOS devices are Apple devices.

The best you can hope for is a short 1st party lightning to USB-C female, but this probably won't happen for a while as USB-C spec requires ANYTHING with a receptacle to talk to the thing on the other end.
Well, it's important to engage the political realities. Doesn't make it impossible, but a hybrid proposal or smaller first step might be more practical, given the politics.
When an immigrant or anyone your tribe doesn't particularly care for comes along and is willing to do the same work for less, it breeds resentment. Unfortunately, that's human nature.

The U.S. has had to deal with this problem on a greater scale compared to countries that grew over millennia because of a liberal immigration policy and economic freedoms afforded to immigrants, and the aftermath of slavery. It's remarkable that this experiment has worked as well as it has (thank you, geography). But the ruling class dropped the ball over the last 20 years and ignored the rapid increase of those marginalized by immigration & trade side-effects, even though there still is a widely-held regard for the "melting pot", so now we got Trump.
Yep. I actually looked around for alternatives, something that I haven't done in years, but I haven't seen anything else more compelling. If you want a laptop with 16 GB of RAM, HiDPI screen, a discrete GPU and 10 hours of battery life, then there really aren't very many choices. So yeah, the new MacBook Pro still looks like a pretty good options for developers.

I am surprised about them dumping MagSafe, because it's a superior power option to USB-C. And it's also surprising that they didn't include at least one USB-A port for compatibility, but that's a minor issue in the grand scheme of things. The touch bar I am actually excited about for what it's worth. There's a lot of developers out there that still use the mouse for a lot of actions in their editor / IDE because they can't be bothered to learn the keyboard shortcuts. When those IDEs start to embrace the TouchBar it will make a lot of their lives easier by surfacing actions like stepping through a debugger, refactoring, etc.

So on the whole I really don't see that Apple is abandoning developers. I just look at what Microsoft is doing with the Surface line and I wish that Apple was investing more heavily in the same direction.
> They realize, Thiel said, that Trump doesn’t really plan to build a wall. “What they hear is, ‘We’re going to have a saner, more sensible immigration policy.’ ”

I totally disagree, they absolutely believe that he wants to build a wall and that Mexico will pay for it. See "End Illegal Immigration Act" outlined here: https://assets.donaldjtrump.com/_landings/contract/O-TRU-102...

Peter Thiel is naive to think this is not literal.
You're fronting the overhead of medical R&D, which the US is doing the bulk of.

Still kind of ridiculous that the amount we spend still amounts to most of the population getting shafted.
People make me sick.
What emotion is it that makes people feel such a deep need to complain that everything isn't made specifically to meet their needs?
So calling your opponent "Crooked <name>" and repeatedly referring to them by what is effectively a slur was a... Democrat strategy?
More accurately, prevents changing the world.
california taxes are already killer :( please no more.
I agree they should cooperate, but I'm curious about the 16k forks.

What's the point in forking a project like this? Adding changes and submitting pull requests would be the obvious thing, but that doesn't seem to be the case because there are only 4K commits and less than 30 open pull requests. So anybody know what's up with all the forks?
This always happens, one party rarely destroys the previous party work, what they often do is claim to completely undo it, but in reality they simply build on top of it. It's a marketing game. This way, you can claim the previous party was completly 100% wrong and did nothing good. And we rebuilt from scratch and deserve all the credit. Then you can say: See, we should have been the elected party all along.
To back up a step, why should there even be a "linux developer edition" model? Why can't they just make a solid laptop to begin with, that also just happens to support Linux? What's honestly different? The icon on the meta key?

To answer your question, as a picky hardware nut I have yet to see anything worth paying extra for. Give me a 4lb 15" 1080p matte IPS with user-expandable RAM and a PCIe m.2 slot, a SATA drive bay instead of a cdrom, _no_ dedicated graphics card, a non-chiclet keyboard, a high quality trackpad _centered under the space bar_, and a user-replaceable (hot-swappable?) battery that gets 8-10hrs on a single charge and I'll think about forking out extra money. Otherwise eff off, I'm happy with used Thinkpads.

It's a tough crowd to please, to be sure, especially when half of us are perfectly capable and willing to put in the extra effort to get random finicky component X working.
Completely agree. The keyboard is the dealbreaker for me too. When I need a new laptop Apple will no longer be producing a machine with an adequate keyboard. Stupidly, the keyboard is what will force me to switch to Windows/Linux.
A bill was voted for and passed a decade ago.

There are two problems I see with this.

I had 3 conversations.

ME: Hi
Other side: Hello

That's it. stopped working
Let's see how his trade wars versus his massive tax holidays play out.

I think the market thinks he's bluffing on the trade wars.
I've heard that the SSD drive makes it the XCode experience more tolerable when it has to hit the swap disk. Personally on my iMac without an SSD and 4GB it was unbearably slow, but it improved a lot when I upgraded to 20GB of RAM and no longer had to hit the swap disk.
That's what I gathered. It just means older operating systems won't be able to take advantage of new instruction sets, or as other commenters have pointed out, we won't see USB3/Bluetooth drivers that are guaranteed to work on the older chips.

Is that it, or is there more to this I'm missing?
