I dunno, I think that kind of thinking is what likely sunk Hillary's campaign. Discounting the working class as undeserving, as the ones who meekly assume the role of punching bag for all ills we cannot ascribe to anyone else.
I wonder if people will actually leave. Parts of Canada are really expensive.

Even though there is huge shortage for skilled IT labor in USA, you have a better chance of finding another job in Australia / New Zealand region.
The racist part was the name calling. The post overall sounded derisive.

The people your criticizing want job security, not lynchings.
I think pg's quality could also be termed "dynamism", which Americans have historically been very drawn to at the polls.

If one feels that the current economic outlook is not good for oneself, then I can absolutely see preferring a candidate who seems excited in proportion to the perceived challenge. And I would chalk the advantage there to Trump.
Apparently there is a need for extreme monetization at any cost?
Could not agree more. I'm a Canadian living in the US right now so I've effectively contributed to Canada's brain drain, but this is a unique opportunity for them to make some moves to try to turn it around a bit.
My apologies, I had assumed that you were American.

Since this is a thread on an American presidential election, on the American political spectrum, Mrs. Clinton would be considered to be on the left or center-left.
Populist economics is about as useful as populist physics.
Bernie was leftist. Clinton, not so much.

It's strange, as an outside observe I see hate spewed against giant swaths of the population (the 'establishment', the 'leftists', the muslims, the hispanics, the blacks or whatever) from Trump supporters. But those same people keep complaining about the hate they perceive from the left or whatever.

It's bizarre. Are people supposed to embrace the racism, sexism and bigotry?
It surely helps and Trump exploited every opportunity, spared no effort to make sure he wins but charisma is generally not the path to the White House

https://sociological-eye.blogspot.com/2016/11/does-charisma-...

Overall, 6 of 29 modern elections were won by strongly charismatic leaders (Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, JFK); another 4 elections were won by well-liked but uncharismatic figures, Eisenhower and Reagan. About 80% of the time, an uncharismatic person wins the presidency.

In India, it is mostly the poor who don't have CC. Every upper class person has multiple CCs and most of the middle class, specially those in the age of 20-40 have atleast one CC. People may keep just one debit card but they do keep multiple CCs. And now even the poor have bank accounts and many have debit cards.

This thread is very civil so far.

I complained recently that political discussions are too easily suppressed on HN, and dang's response was that they inevitably veer into flame wars, and that preemptively flagging political threads is necessary / ok. I hope this thread continues to disprove that, since HN is an important place for political discussion to be happening.
Here is a survey of some extremely unlikely but entertaining outcomes.

1) Neither candidate gets 270, McMullin gets at least 1, either from Utah or a faithless elector. The "never trump" republicans in the House elect McMullin over Trump. End result: Evan McMullin as president

2) Same as 1), but with Gary Johnson

3) Majority in electoral vote, but some faithless electors withhold their vote. I'd actually very much like to see this happen, as it would be far more interesting to see the House have to decide on this.

4) Tie, deadlock in House and Senate. End result: Paul Ryan as president
Trump is entertaining to watch. Even though I find him a buffoon I still find him fun to watch. Hillary has more experience, matches my views on policy but she is a bore to watch, I can't bear it.

You know what? People as a group are just too stupid and easily manipulated to be helped, and given that Trump now gets to pick (probably) 3 SCOTUS seats? We're cooked.

Basically, for most of us here, the rest of our lives will have this election hanging over us, for the implications on the SCOTUS alone. As I said, people who can afford it are going to leave in droves.

Trump has words ("the best words"). The words will inspire Congress to pass laws. The laws will (in theory) help the people. Trump will continue traveling around the country, and report back to Congress what is or is not working.

Oh good. It's not just me, there are others who want Trump to win just for the lulz. I don't care for his presidency, but Clinton belongs behind bars right now. I hope Trump wins and then does something to land him behind bars too. That would be my preferred outcome. The media has to change too, but I don't think a Trump presidency would be capable of bringing that about.

Sure. The only thing SocketIO really has going for it is built-in support for falling back to long polling (for browsers that don't support websockets). That said, if you're using socketIO in production, you'll have to deal with memory leaks that aren't your fault (eg. even if you stick to boilerplate code). If you just want something quick and easy for a hackathon or personal project that you never want to scale, go for it. Otherwise be prepared for a rewrite, or increased hardware costs.
Anyone else notice the Microsoft touchscreen program CNN is using?
One of the CNN reporters is working with a large touchscreen display running what strikes me as a really well-designed piece of software.

Common Misconceptions About Big Data Analytics
There were tons of competition for wechat, but wechat crushed them due to a combination of superior product and stronger platform (with QQ to start with). As a matter of fact, usually startups in China (or large companies pushing for a new product) execute very aggressively, due to the sheer number of competitions doing almost identical things. A few years ago there were 5000+ Groupon-like startups, and that was a strong filter for the companies with a strong execution force.

I agree; that's what's rough about 3D graphics that tries to be photorealistic and the uncanny valley. When it's released, it's the best thing ever, but it ages far worse than stylized animation. Cell shading seems to hold up well IMO.

Luckily, there's more to great games like the FF series than once-photorealistic now-aged 3D graphics.
The question is "what would the return value be," and without knowing which compiler is used you don't know what it would return. It doesn't make sense to say the program returns "undefined behavior" or "implementation-dependent."

You might be taking issue with the question itself, but I think it's a valid question because C compilers tend to be lenient with what they compile.

I think people have more problems with a candidate trying to shut down uncomfortable opinions through the back door than with a candidate who's openly sexist and xenophobic.
Clinton may have been a centrist and not helped the Poor. Trump won't help the poor, so it's at best a toss-up.

The problem is that there are a lot of people who are not white, male, Christian, heterosexual, natural-born. And it's gonna get difficult for all those people. Clinton would've left them alone, Trump is fanning the flames of xenophobia.
Yeah, that's an important distinction. Once text analaysis gets better, I think it will be important to mix the results.

Not a shock... a lot of people are going to get the hell out of dodge. Reagan and Dubya were too vivid a preview of what this is going to be like, and Trump is going to choose at least one critical SCOTUS judge. I think you'd have to be pretty naive to think that this isn't going to get incredibly bad.

I think.. there is also the disgust factor. How invested can anyone with a brain and conscience be in this train wreck? It was hard over the last 16 years, now... now it's going to get worse.

That's kind of funny. French people is the single biggest source of expats (if we ignore domestic helpers) in Hong Kong. Seems to be very common for French people to emigrate.

Yes. All the data at the time said:

On the face of it, this statement makes no sense. Would you mind to elaborate?
Republicans would never choose a pro-choice president. Gary Johnson is not an option.
Nice try at straw man.

A lot of things can be misinterpreted if you already have your mind in the specific drawer.

You remember when Trump said that Putin is strong leader and afterwards that if he is the president US won't be weak anymore?
Well, he actually meant that Obama is weak and not that Putin is strong. But most of the media and people interpreted that as a thumbs up for Putin. Actually it was thumbs down - as in - it won't be so easy with me.
As it stands now, I doubt that many American programmers would be willing to take the pay cut they'd have to accept if they came to work here.

Because of politics? Or other reasons?
How long does it take for paper work to be completed? 1-2 years? And than what? Trump will almost certainly mess up enough (which Dem have warned about) to be out of office after just 1 term. And will they go through the paper work to return to US?
The major tech centers in Canada have major housing price issues. The housing to salary ratio in Vancouver and Toronto are terrifying.
Calling Trump a Republican is probably a bit strong. He ran on that ticket, but historically his views are quite liberal.
Canada would be an odd choice for many reasons, but is probably attractive for the combination of proximity, and cultural/linguistic similarities. For me, I've been looking at Ireland, Denmark, or the Netherlands for a while, and I'd say they're looking far more attractive today than yesterday.

Besides, money isn't everything. There is something to be said for not having to deal with the insane evangelicals, bitter uneducated whites, and insane levels of violence too. Not to mention the impact this will have on the SCOTUS, and how incredibly screwed up healthcare is.
If you disagree with me how about you talk about it like an adult instead of degrading this conversation into shitposting?

Trump is not Mitt Romney. If Romney had have won in 2012, not much would be different in all likelihood. In the case of Trump the guy is so unpredictable that it's difficult to know what - if anything - he's going to do. I don't see why other countries shouldn't take advantage of that unpredictability.

Calling somebody out as racist is not name-calling if it's true.

I feel like the US has become this bizarre place where it's okay to be racist and sexist, but if you call people out for it you're the bad guy.
One of the first things I had to with tmux is figure out a convenient prefix key. I found the default prefix key (C-b) to be a little clumsy to use. After a little experimentation, C-j has become my secondary tmux prefix key of choice.

It doesn't interfere with my shell or Vim usage. C-j is redundant in shell as well as Vim because it does what pressing the Enter key would do. Further, in Vim, C-j is synonymous to j in normal and visual modes. C-j is also very easy to type because my right forefinger always returns to j while resting.

This is what my ~/.tmux.conf looks like.

# Set C-j as secondary prefix key.
# C-b remains intact as primary prefix key.
set -g prefix2 C-j
bind-key C-j send-prefix -2

# Eliminate delay after <Esc> key press in Vim.
set -g escape-time 0

# Let Vim use 256 colors.
set -g default-terminal screen-256color
No, it was originally a compromise between having congress pick the president and a pure popular vote.
Yeah, because it turns out you can't just waltz over the border to Canada and expect to be greeted with open arms as we do in the US.
Yeah, have fun with that. I don't think putting money in the markets right now is a great move unless you can afford to lose it all. Granted, that's always the case to some extent.
That is true. But there are also a number of perks such as universal health care. So maybe just a certain type of developer would move - one motivated by values rather than money. Perhaps similar to the draft dodgers who came up in the late 60s.

The contempt stems from political correctness. Political correctness isn't some superficial outrage, it's the genuine belief that people who don't hold progressive beliefs are bad people who need to be punished. Trump can't convince progressives that his views are reasonable, but he can show that these views can't be repressed anymore.

Seems unlikely that migrating from France to Hong Kong would be motivated by political reasons (unless you want less democracy). I'm guessing financial motivations dominate.
Comparable to where? Not the Bay Area. I interviewed for a remote position with a Canadian company a while back, and they weren't able to pay me anywhere near a market rate Bay Area salary.
If you're afraid of the US President, moving abroad isn't helpful. His domestic power is severely limited and checks-n-balanced.

Granted, that only counts for fear of a semi-tyrannical president, not necessarily for economic concerns.
As a Canadian who moved away, I must warn you that Canada has a form of dutch disease. Resource extraction investments have a much better risk/return ratio, so the pay doesn't even approach US levels. Thus software doesn't approach the levels of investment you have in the USA. And you thought SF was bad, wait until you see what has gone wrong with the housing markets in Toronto and Vancouver.

I liked Canada and it's sad that I have to live away from my family, but I would be a fool to stay otherwise.
I assume you're American and have had no experience with the US immigration system? Because they definitely do not do that in the US.
This might seem like a silly question, but what would happen if you tried to use the same kind of system, but with another language?
Blacks are also not monilith block. I can tell you what happened - parts of the communities showed the Dems that they do not protect their interests enough - sadly in two party system this means burning the house to the ground.
That's the thing that has struck me the most about the Clinton campaign. It's been incredibly lazy, as if Clinton were the anointed one who simply had to waltz to the White House. Not wanting to debate. Not putting in the work of campaigning, at least compared to Trump's marathon schedule. The arrogance and condescension at having to even be involved in the race against her opponent.
Sure. Budweiser is $50/case and gas is $4/gal. How's health care free again?
Things mostly have not become bad enough to move. I think Trump will be more Berlusconi than Mussolini. I hope so at least. I also wonder what it'd take to make us grab what we can and get out. If things start heading that way, it's a decision you really, really don't want to put off too long.
I remember seeing some article about French brain drain being extremely systematic now, especially among the better schools. Get free schooling in France, then leave.
