> It doesn't make sense to demand that Mexico pay for it. It's like building a wall on your property and demanding your neighbors pay for it.

When buying a house, wouldnt you try to negotiate for seller concessions like paying for repairs?

Trumps wall comments were always in conjunction with discussing the massive trade deficit with Mexico. If we are in a stronger position to negotiate with Mexico, why wouldnt we negotiate the best deal we can get?

If you really think about it. We only need this wall because of Mexico, so why should we pay if we dont have to?

Most professional developers have simply no choice if they don't work with Windows. I've been investigating a current Linux laptop that is not too heavy and supports external 4k monitors over dp 1.2 - no luck. Most modern models (e.g. dell xps 13 and 15) struggle with the USB-C alternate mode for displayport, and DP-provided models (e.g. xps 9343) are not on sale anymore.

Not to say that external monitor support in Linux, especially Ubuntu, is terrible: try using a 4k monitor along with a non-4k monitor. It will simply create so many issues that, in the end, you'll open your wallet and get a Macbook Pro. I've just bought a 2015 15-inch.

They won't. That's the logical option and should've been the first one picked too. But the Republicans oppose that because "single payer is socialism and socialism is eevvvviilll." Come on this nonsense has to stop. Just accept that single payer will solve a problem the markets refuse to solve.

Of course, we'll have lost a decade and the problem will be much worse, if no forward progress is made.

> but how are we realistically going to pay down the national debt when we enact a massive tax cut on top of a tax rate that is already at historically low levels?

Here's a hint: we're not going to pay down the debt anytime soon. I would expect the debt to increase by $8-$12 trillion over the next decade if Trump gets all the tax cuts and programs in his agenda.

The electorate hates taxes. At the same time it loves government spending. There is no political will to cut spending in any meaningful way. The last Republican vice president declared that "Reagan proved that deficits don't matter" - a line that Trump has echoed.
It's also an inaccurate summary:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/36/261.16

"The following are prohibited: (c) Cleaning or washing any personal property, fish, animal, or food, or bathing or washing at a hydrant or water faucet not provided for that purpose."

This is the sort of thing that would just be a normal rule, in a contract or something, in a privately-managed park. For a federal park, it's perfectly reasonable for it to just be a federal law.

You could also imagine a world where it's simply illegal to be in a federal park without signing a contract with the government, which would get these sorts of things out of the CFR, but that seems like it would be worse for the American people at zero benefit. And personally, I'd still call things in those contracts "federal regulations".

You could also imagine a world where national parks become privatized.
Has it become that radical to suggest that smart, well-educated people may in fact see further into the consequences of things (particularly in their areas of expertise, but probably also peripherally), see more cognitive bias, have better critical-thinking skills, remember more mistakes from history, and all around make better long-term decisions?

Why is that even offensive to anyone? Just because of someone's personal insecurity about not having a college degree in anything? I've worked around plenty of people without college degrees (4 year vet, USAF, enlisted), they have nothing to be insecure about... except for uninformed ideas about the world (IMHO).

Is it the subtle "I got this" confident arrogance of the expert? If so, then how is that any worse than a confidence and arrogance NOT based on intelligence/education/experience? (i.e., dunning-kruger)

If the liberal doctor says you have cancer and need an operation and the conservative mechanic says it's just soreness and to take two Advil, are you going to discount the doctor because he is liberal elite, or because he is full of himself and has terrible bedside manner?

If merely getting a college education makes you more liberal (as can be seen in exit polling), does that mean that merely knowing/understanding more things has a liberal bias? Doesn't that mean knowledge itself has a liberal bias? Does that sound like a preposterous conclusion to you? Modus tollens, and all that (not that even using the language of logical discourse is valued at all).

No wonder this "anti-intellectualism spring." Election as proxy-class-war and proxy-culture-war (not to mention proxy-gender-war), that much has been made clear.

The article links to a more accurate piece. He did buy the property for $15M. He then created an easement preventing development and donated that easement to US Fish & wildlife.

He has also bought other property for the same purpose.

He created this easement partially because a developer sued to use eminent domain to force him to allow them to construct a power line across the property.

You beat me to it. Indeed, it was a Dunning-Kruger election but not in the way that the OP meant it.

Also, following on your second point, if the Dems are so smart how could they not see that Clinton was a fatally flawed candidate. We'll never know but I think its likely Sanders would have won versus Trump.
I feel like you're inventing a story here where one candidate talked to people but the other talked about them. It doesn't hold up. Not just beacuse none of your quotes were actually quotes. Nor just because Trump voters had a higher-than-average income.

"We need to have empathy for those people" because of "those people" is exclusive, but "We need to understand you people and empathize with you" is also exclusive. Is it the "you people"? Or should she have lied and said "I'm one of you". I don't know if it matters because she didn't say that anyway. Then the "I love the poorly educated", which is also a "[them]" is inclusive.

"She clearly doesn't even consider the possibility that a poorly educated person who's leaning Trump would even be in the audience."
She made that speech at a fundraiser. Why would she speak to someone who maybe was there isntead of the people that were? What did Trump say at his private fundraisers? Should we compare stump speeches?

Did your hypothetical voter hear Trumps speeches where he constantly mentions how rich he is, how much money he makes in real estate deals, and all the fancy stuff he does? How many golf courses did he talk about in a day? I don't see why it's arrogant to not believe in Trump as a populist. Or to see irony in the claim that one candidate better cares about, relates to, or understands the poorly educated when his party wants to limit social safety nets, unions, health care, and the ability of poor people and minorities to vote.

As to the left's obliviousness, our candidate get more votes.

Thanks for the link. Having skimmed through it, I still maintain that your analogy is overreaching, and I think the reason is that there's a level of indirection that you're not acknowledging.

Section 230 of the CDA doesn't say "ISPs don't have to monitor their subscribers"; it says "content providers aren't liable for their subscribers' content, as long as the provider's actions are limited purely to publication of content" which happens to have the effect of making it so that in many situations, providers don't have an obligation to monitor their subscribers or exercise editorial control to cover their bases.

In this case, the court opinion is quite clear that it's OK for AirBNB to publish information about unregistered listings, even if they get paid to do so. The problem is when they actively participate in transactions that go beyond simple publication of information. That seems in line with what the law actually says, and I don't see how it would apply to an ISP that is merely conveying information back and forth between third parties.
True, as a species we all but glorify conflicts... but I think democracy does require some degree of social cohesion. I see a lot of danger if our continent-spanning superpower starts to crumble due to internal divisions, especially considering we don't have a clear path to secession.
Yep. I've worked on projects that were clearly impeded by a lack of understanding of how things were done (by the new people, myself included at times), and how things needed to be updated (primarily by the older people, strong resistance to changing processes (sometimes a good thing, often bad when done as a blanket policy)).

Actually, the majority of Americans agreed with Hillary Clinton. She won the popular vote by over a million votes. We just use an outdated system built to appease slaveholders that does not necessarily represent the bulk will of the people. Trump won on a technicality of our (antiquated and frankly awful) system, not on a mandate.

Trump openly advocates closing the US border. He advocates racism against mexicans and muslims at least. He is misogynistic to the extreme. It is not a logical leap to assume people who voted for him hold the same ideals. In fact, by voting for such a candidate a voter provides all necessary evidence of their support.

Can you support your "no evidence" claim given the candidate Trump has openly said these things multiple times?
Data Science from a Software Tester’s Perspective
The appeal is that it would make being a career politician impossible and that term-limited congress would therefore act out of interest for their constituents rather than themselves. But you're right that it would also prevent good politicians from staying.

Another proposal which could have a similar effect would be to drastically increase the number of representatives so that each one represents a smaller number of people (say 50,000). Having many more reps would reduces the individual power and influence of any one rep in particular and could dissuade them from acting in their own best interest.

This isn't true even on the face of it; it went up from ~10 trillion to ~18 trillion. And aside from that; the national debt exploded due to the economic collapse that happened months before Obama was sworn in. The accusation is wrong on the facts and disingenuous.

>I am personally appalled that 16GB could be considered too little memory for developer workloads

It depends what you are developing. If I am debugging, I often have to spin up Unity, plus a crapton on 3D models and assets, plus the server which is a bunch of VMs, plus IntelliJ. This is in addition to Chrome and slack. It's okay on 16GB but I occasionally get issues and a couple of years from now this will likely get worse.
