Every Trump supporter seems to see exactly what they want to see of Trump's candidacy. I just had a conversation with someone who believes Trump will be great for LGBTQ equality. No awareness that the campaign has specifically, and emphatically, said, it would roll back almost every bit of progress that has been achieved over the past eight years.

Trump, apparently, won because Trump is whatever people want him to be, even if he has clearly and repeatedly said he is the opposite.

Ask HN: Company is about to have a huge black mark how will this affect me?
So I can't discuss details of what happened but this is irrelevant to my following question:

How does a big (rather big in this case and possibly fatal) black mark on a company affect me as a developer. No, I'm not the cause, directly or indirectly. However, I'm worried now that if I say that I worked at company "X" on my resume, or people see that I have worked there, that this will affect my career as a job seeker should I be seeking again in the future.

Does anyone else have any ideas on how this kind of thing affects employees? This is giving me massive anxiety, but as always thanks for your thoughts!

EDIT: yes, this is due to my department and related to software btw.
The thing is, these dangerous elements don't have any voice if there is not an issue in the first place.

If the borders were controlled and immigration was regulated, then you have no Nazis gaining support.

This is the side effect of these open borders policies in Germany.

The liberal strategy is fundamentally flawed. Fighting racism through driving it underground is not the right approach.

Its so sad.
Why are you telling me this?

I was explaining why Clinton lost the election. Someone needs to solve the Rust Belt problem. I have no idea if Trump has a plan but he did not ignore the people in those states so they voted for him.

You don't win votes by telling people their jobs aren't coming back.
I dont know why your getting downvoted. This is a serious problem. Also copyrights and patents. Think drugs that people need. This is more about protectionism than free trade from what I've been reading

"ISDS would allow foreign companies to challenge U.S. laws — and potentially to pick up huge payouts from taxpayers — without ever stepping foot in a U.S. court. Here’s how it would work. Imagine that the United States bans a toxic chemical that is often added to gasoline because of its health and environmental consequences. If a foreign company that makes the toxic chemical opposes the law, it would normally have to challenge it in a U.S. court. But with ISDS, the company could skip the U.S. courts and go before an international panel of arbitrators. If the company won, the ruling couldn’t be challenged in U.S. courts, and the arbitration panel could require American taxpayers to cough up millions — and even billions — of dollars in damages" [0]

The biggest if I recall, was that it was a virtually never ending agreement that nobody could exit after they'd entered into it which exposed each countries legal system to the others.

This certainly isn't scientific at all but a quick search for tpp (all time popularity) shows the first page of results as posts that primarily took place more than a year ago. https://hn.algolia.com/?query=tpp&sort=byPopularity&prefix&p...

Trump mentioned he was opposed to the tpp almost exactly one year ago today.

If we search the popular 'tpp' posts from December 1st 2015 to today, we get results that show posts that are critical of the tpp but over half of the first page of results have less than 100 upvotes. https://hn.algolia.com/?query=tpp&sort=byPopularity&prefix&p...

Like I said, not scientific but kind of interesting I guess?
That's a somewhat rational reconstruction of his argument. I am not sure that's the only possible reading. (At least one other one is that he was or is simply not coherent.)
> By deduplication, do you mean that you want articles on the same subject to be filtered out or do you just want the same article not to be displayed multiple times?

I just want the same article not displayed multiple times. For example, if you subscribe to multiple feeds from a newspaper, some articles which fit more than one category will appear multiple times.

Articles on the same subject would be handled by 'grouping', according to what I wrote above.
I agree with you that it certainly makes larger conflicts more likely.

This backing off on world power actually began with Obama, and has been a theme throughout. I'm on mobile right now and can't dig them up, but there a lots of state and military papers on it.

Here's the Secretary of Defense speaking in 2011:

"But in my opinion, any future defense secretary who advises the president to again send a big American land army into Asia or into the Middle East or Africa should “have his head examined,” as General MacArthur so delicately put it."
Wait, I just realized I'm talking to one of the "wake up sheeple" types. Nevermind, carry on...
It has upsides for the most powerful corporations, who use the military to protect their resources and investments overseas with force, and have toppled and ruined countless nations who provide unfavorable decisions towards their activities in those countries. I could not care less about those corporations.
The feeling you describe reminds me of how I felt evaluating puppet and chef some years back - with a particular view to running the open source parts (not being dependent on third party support).

It felt like every other link led back to the various sales teams for the enterprise solutions, and there existed no page with a straightforward overview of all the components and what puppet / chef actually did.

Ansible was a breath of fresh air - as well as saltstack (but at the time it had too many holes in its security/transport story).
Don't forget to factor in population growth (above 18 years of age) from 2000 to 2016. Is it enough of a factor to make 2016 the record low? I don't know.

And all them can be gamed.
I'm curious if they had left out the most objectionable parts of this deal it seems like it might have been approved without much fanfare.
What were Clinton's outrageous promises?

If anything, I think what killed her is that she is a very unexciting stay-the-course President. No major changes, just incremental improvements. Very likely what is actually happen in any Presidency. What's sad is that the American people punished her for actually being realistic about what a President can actually do.

There's not going to be a new border wall and there's not going to be any more jobs for the middle class. Clinton knows that, Trump doesn't.

I strongly suspect you'll see a shift in how the US handles Google. At least a dozen or so Googlers work at the White House, and they'll need to find new jobs by January 20th. (Someone with more time on their hands than me will hopefully track whether or not they all go back to working at Google HQ instead of Google White House.)

Given their liberal slant and their strong support for Hillary, even a pro-business-leaning Trump probably isn't going to do Google any favors. And as the four antitrust cases in the EU are likely to go through within the next year, the FTC will probably at least feel some pressure to do their job.

It depends how they ended up in that state. If someone slowly fails, the family has more time to accept things, and know what kind of decision they might have to make.
While I think your tone stinks, I agree that it's over. Even if a recount ends in a tie there's no way a Republican congress hands the keys over to Clinton.
>Not sure why the American people care so much about it. It's gone and not coming back.

Because millions of older, former Obama voters in the rust belt can recall when their small towns weren't chained-shut shitholes drowning in drug abuse, hopelessness and commercial devastation.

> does not properly account for the value of the stability the U.S. provides throughout the world now.

Countries destroyed by brutal dictators propped up and supported by US might have something to say about the "stability" part there.

> I think it's incredibly short-sighted.

Or we could try a few more regime changes in Libya, maybe create another ISIS because that was lots of fun.

I think "pax Americana" sounds not like you think it sounds to many countries in the world.
But everything else is not equal; the if-else construct is less clear, more error prone, and you must read it fully to make sure all branches are assignments and that it's therefore logically equivalent to an assignment.
I think America will really have to become "Great Again" because by electing Trump they have shown that he is right. The country who openly voted for a racist and a xenophobe is surely not great. The faster democrats and other get out this stupid rust belt explanation phase the better.
You mean "Bipartisanship is dead," right?

Alas the TPP was only marginally about trade. Lots of exporting of American IP protection, too.

Really, it would be best for everyone to just unilaterally drop all their barriers and tariffs---no mutual deal necessary. (Like Britain did for some time in the 19th century.)
Whereas reaching to greater than 100,000 year cycles is a giant red herring at this point as well. We're dealing with an unprecedented rise within less than a 100 year period, regardless of whether or not this is some "ancient cycle", it's a very frightening thing and we should very much be doing something about it. Playing a blame game at this point about who "created it" versus "sped it up" seems a bit like playing hot potato with a live grenade.

Edit to clarify: unprecedented - in our species' history, in our species' survival to date. That's a part of the focus on the last 100,000 years.
Providing a launch pad for forward deployment of Armed forces is a pretty good deal IMO. Doing this helped the US keep USSR in check. Now assume that NATO never happened. Life would go on. These countries would be in a lot of debt, but they'd have their own armies for sure with the US twiddling their thumbs from across the ocean. Maybe Russia would've occupied a couple more countries. Although it seems these countries should pay up for protection money, consider the difference a rent that US is paying them for maintaining a military base. A quick google search gave me "...he United States still maintains nearly 800 military bases in more than 70 countries and territories abroad.."
As an Australian, I loathe the TPP, negotiated in secret, where US IP laws can invade our own; pharma companies can jack up the prices on medication; and foreign companies that don't even have a presence here can sue our government and hold them to ransom.

Most importantly, it's not a "free trade deal". It's just a "trade deal". Australia's trade deals in the past with the US have done things like removed tariffs for all US goods coming here, but not removed tariffs the other way around. We're definitely the little brother in this relationship.
> We have a decent understanding now of the complexity of a human body

I fundamentally disagree. We have models, sure, but they're approximative, not predictive, and I don't see any indication we'd be able to get prediction ever. It's very difficult to understand how biological approximation layered over chemical and physical approximation could give any benefit we get now from experimentation.

Among other things, there is no such thing as model verification.
To clarify my version of the idea, I would like to see all the articles on the same subject but grouped together, perhaps in a collapsible outline, so I can choose which one or more articles I want to read on the subject.
Good point. Here are some of the arguments to substantiate my comment:

1. Each country has its own cultural and historical background. I here state without justification(purely based on my understanding as a Chinese citizen) that China has its own unique cultural and historical backgrounds that discourages the dissemination of information deemed to harm social order or stability. Hence, with that assumption, it is justified that China would adopt such policies on the Internet in contrast to what other countries are doing.

2. Each country is in a different phase of development, and in each phase there are different priorities. Many western countries has been through the stages of industrial revolution and increased productivity, then followed by more freedom of speech and focus on human rights. In this case, China is just in a different phase of development as compared to the country that you are living it, and it has its own priorities, such as economic growth and urbanization. When it comes to policy planning, you need to consider what is your priority, and obviously the priorities would be different for countries in different phases of development.

The problem, then, is education and retraining. Send all these people to community college. It's dirt cheap and that's what they're there for.
Off the top of my head, the ability to run a web server without first getting approval from the government is a pretty obvious differenciator.
The point to the post you're replying to is that "defending its own shores" is not the only value derived from American dominance. A free and unimpeded military environment in the middle east is one where, say, Russia feels justified in blackmailing Saudi over OPEC disputes.

A withdrawal of forces from ROK and Japan means that they now have to turn to China for protection from the lunatics in the North.

A world without NATO means that Russia gets to annex Russian-speaking regions of Estonia whenever they want, just like they ALREADY DID to the Ukraine.

It's tempting to believe that there are no militarist nuts with guns in the modern industrial world, but it's not true. What is true is that they've been largely suppressed in the post-cold-war era by American military dominance.

Until now. I'll actually put this prediction down in writing: before the end of Trump's term, there will be at least one shooting war involving one of the players mentioned above.
Hehe, that line is priceless.

It seems truth is indeed stranger than fiction sometimes.
I think that's true, but for most of his supporters this probably doesn't matter. Even though America has been doing well on the world stage in influence and soft power, the benefits are perceived to have been bestowed on the wealthy and not shared evenly with those in rural areas torn by economic changes from globalization.

Well, this is one reason to consider normalizing up/down votes by views. Is there any data on the number of views each comment received (number of times each was scrolled into view, for example)?

You'd also have to factor in the likelihood of each person up/down voting (if it's viewed by many people who weren't going to vote anyway, then no votes are nothing out of the ordinary).
Automation was (and still is) that next big innovation.

Or do you want only innovations that don't disturb the status quo?
Look at Germany, rather than throw their manufacturing sector under the bus in favor of financial engineering and management consulting, they continuously upgrade their manufacturing culture. So maybe they don't make shoes there but they are building the robots that the rest of the world is using to make shoes and cars. You need skilled workers for that and you need to constantly be reinvesting in your people. The neoliberal approach throws your population under the bus as quickly as possible as they are not deemed worthy of investment.

> I also spend/waste a lot of time, probably the most time in total, tracking down complex issues that got past the type system and existing tests and code reviews

Nobody will argue against you on this. The static/dynamic debate, as I understand it, is about whether typing and design constraints typing impose are worth the reduction in simple issues. Reasonable people can choose both and my personal take is that I think types are worth it given a good type system for a long-maintained project. You get more people coming on board and I think types are most useful in that situation.

generics and sum types

> how does it square with people like the author of Clojure? Is he just a god-tier outlier?

I happened to be in a group Rich joined for lunch at the last Clojure Conj and we talked about typed functional languages. The short story is that he doesn't think types are worth the tradeoffs. At the time Clojure had just introduced transients and he mentioned the numerous typed functional language blog posts about the feature and that most were incorrectly typed. He gives specific examples at the end of Simple Made Easy and reiterated many of them those during the discussion.

I think we'd agree that, libraries and architecture matter more than language but I do think language influences the abstractions the library can provide. My post wasn't really meant to argue the superiority of types in all situations but rather a specific response to the sentiment of "why do people always bring up typos when I never run into them"?
Then we go to war. It's good for business.
If you're saying it was a referendum then surely the popular vote does matter.

You are confusing the exchange rate with our ability to basically control word's money supply. The Middle East is basically economic preferences in exchange for security type of setup. One of the consequences of that is that's world's oil trade is denominated in USD. Putin's wet dream is changing that.

That's not correct. A company would have been able to sue only if the country was enacting a policy that would allow them to unfairly take advantage of an investor. e.g. if the country made a deal that allowed a factory to be built in their country and then enacted a policy (tax or otherwise) that would force the investor to halt operations in their country for sole the purpose of taking control of the factory.

Without that part of the trade deal there would be no stoping a small country from what is essentially stealing from a international company. Before trade deals those types of disputes were usually settled with armed conflict.

( Copying my comment from an earlier post: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12921949 )

One tiny thing that might help in your analysis: Nintendo accidentally included all the symbol names and locations on the Wind Waker disc in a file called "framework.map".

Doing some basic demangling on the CodeWarriors names gives you C++ classes and methods:

http://funny.computer/cloud/Random/zww_functions.txt

The "sea" animation is controlled by "daSea" -- "da" meaning "dynamic actor" in Nintendo's naming terminology.

It's extremely unlikely they used texture distortion for the sea effect, since the GPU they used didn't have fragment shaders -- the only method of texture warping is INDTEXMTX, which was only used for the heat effects in Dragon Roost Cavern.

They probably modified UVs directly on their triangular sea mesh.

Smoke effects and such use their in-house particle engine, "JPA".
In theory, there are couple benefits:

* Cheaper products for everyone

* Competition drives innovation

* Lower risk of large-scale wars

* Ship high-pollution industries overseas

* Improved price stability

In practice, it falls apart because...

- US has a poor social safety net. Low-income workers often end up jobless or in even lower skilled jobs

- Globalism builds bigger corporations, which actively suppress competition

- Big direct wars are replaced with constantly simmering proxy wars

- We can't control environmental degradation in other countries
And meanwhile those of us in the centrist technocrat left are dodging post-election spitballs thrown by progressives and hoping beyond hope that what Trump ACTUALLY wants to do is just sit on his ass in the oval office and play emperor and DOESN'T try to actually get anything done.
The central bank can print arbitrary amounts of money. So demand is never a problem.

(And the government can tax land all they want without disturbing the economy, so basic income is not much of a problem either. At least economically---politically land lavue taxes are hard to push through.)
Casey Newton cracks me up.
With Trump wanting to end NAFTA, and CETA having no ISDS but a real court, and Canada being a lot more liberal, I actually don't see much of a threat in CETA.
