the electoral college is not the problem, FPTP is the problem
The problem is we are thinking about it the wrong way, with all this advances in technologies, who said everyone should work? everyone in the society should benefit from advancement in technology not only %0.001 of population.

why Zuckerberg should have this many billions, did he contributed 1,000,000 times more than a 1000th Facebook employee to the society?

problem is with Tax system and how US spends it's budget. money comes out of people's pocket and goes to corporations bank accounts.

for example with only $16B we can give shelter to all the homeless in this country. $16B is peanut compare to federal budget. it is a shame to have half a million homeless in the richest country in the word.
Anyone? I didn't. I put money on Trump long ago.
As augmented reality takes of, and machine learning databases gather tons of data with the help of mini radar and devices like project tango, computer sensing is really going to far surpass human bounds faster than we realize or have plans for.

I am excited and terrified. I want my little robots I build to be able to sense and navigate and autonomously live around me, but I don't want little NSA roaches all over my house. Like most things we will have to take the good with the bad I guess.
And isn't anymore. If you want to argue that it should be, I'll listen to that, but you can't just throw out a link to graph about tax rates 50+ years ago and think that settles it and the US can be just like Norway.
This is become a popular way to avoid paying income taxes. This year it moved from being able to offset 30% of income to 50% of income. It can be 100% of income if you are a farmer.
That's true, but doesn't really contradict what I said.
random idea: why not open a hostel/retreat for programmers to come work on your farm for weeklong increments. Free room/board in exchange for 8hrs labor. Post videos of exactly what kind of work is awaiting them, and interviews of people who have tried it. You get free labor on your farm, and a passive "income" source, they get to step away from their burned-out, fluorescent-lit cubicles and actually get to try living as a farmer. A lot of people have this fantasy, so I suspect there would be a good-size market of people who would love to try it.

I think he probably will win a second term, if he wants to.
Nobody criticizes any plan to help black people based on it's intent. You seem to be confusing intent with desired results, perhaps on purpose. Democrat's intent has been ostensibly to help black people (and certainly rank and file democrats really are altruistic) but the result has been the exact opposite for Black families. It doesn't matter where you go in the country, even in a deep blue city in a deep blue state where evil Republicans are nary to be found, Black people are suffering, and you only have one party to blame. I know to some, just stating this will brand me as a racist but until we can collectively recognize that what we have been trying hasn't worked, we'll never make the corrections we need.
How on earth is that an Intel issue when it was Apple that decided to put even less battery in the thing than the previous model?

Engineering is about finding a balance among opposing constraints; Apple clearly decided that a svelter profile was more important than larger memory sizes for its market.

Even if this is true, it's a horrible way to fund the companies. If we want the US to fund drug companies, we sould do it through some sort of progressive tax, not through a raised cost in base level care, which affects everyone, and when it gets high enough effectively means poor people can't pay, and the middle class feels it as a large burden.

$3000 or more a year in healthcare costs is not felt the same by someone that makes $50k a year as someone who makes $150k a year. And that's for an individual. Many people are trying to cover a whole family at these rates.
That is a political problem - totally different (and fixable if people want) than claimed issue that the Nordic model couldn't work in the US because difference in the size of population
Sure, but I guess my point was that systematically we aren't building solar panels and creating the greatest possible efficiency of the overall system. You're kind of describing an ideal efficient system where we coordinated together perfectly. But that's not really how we as humans or a society work. If I moved out of my house into an apartment it's unlikely anyone will put up extra solar panels to offset the loss. My consumption would fall back onto the norm of the grid, which is mostly fossil fuels. But as an individual I can make choices which will create the greatest net efficiency.

But I guess I'm really getting into the definition of efficiency. I suppose in my mind I'm considering clean energy as more efficient even though from an economic POV fossil fuels are still more efficient based on price (though probably not for long).

So in conclusion, you're right. I'd just add the caveat that faced with the reality of a mostly uncoordinated system run by large groups of people with competing interests, you can possibly find higher efficiency (depending on how you look at it) from making your own intelligent individual decisions while living in a large home away from the city center.
the vast majority of Americans have either never heard of Peter Theil or straight up don't care what he thinks. Most people don't care about silicon valley because it doesn't affect their day to day lives in an overt manner.
Some examples of the "good" are the massive amount of infrastructure that was built/re-built and the trade that was established with other countries.

Don't mistake what I'm saying for a defense of the invasion of either country. Just trying to look at things objectively rather than through an emotional lens.
That's definitely a concern I have - Republicans want to repeal ACA and roll it back to the incredibly expensive system we had before that was bankrupting people. That's exactly what they intend to do.

Well, if it didn't become apparent when Russell Brand absolutely destroyed "Morning Joe" back in 2013, there's no saving them.

Do they not remember 8 years ago?
I'd happily vote for a Ron Paul Republican (I wouldn't vote for Cruz; he's far too close to religious people for my liking), but I think the party is moving far away from that. Donald Trump just won on a platform of more government intervention in the economy, not less. Not to mention that he apparently has zero respect for important foundational ideas like religious liberty and freedom of the press.

Of the choices on the ballot, Johnson was a lot closer to being a traditional Republican than Trump.

What if a source of perpetual energy is found under that land. And the land needs to be destroyed to dig it out.

Relax liberals: it's called a "thought experiment".
It's a matter of fundamental core values applied to situational matters. Opinions and preferences shift as time goes by. The populace sees this in the politicians of today. Bernie's actions are lauded not because they are the same, but because they represent an integrity to the core values of human life & equality. Politicians claim to value life & equality, but manifest their hypocrisy by going to war and endangering soldier's lives for profit. This is the disingenuity of the status-quo politicians.
That's not quite fair. This election was an upset. I think it's quite reasonable to look for an explanation beyond random noise.
I saw it as a way to show off their brand, the same way that car companies have race teams. A bunch of cool GoPro videos on YouTube, drone displays in stores, etc. But they undersold even the conservative sales figure needed to accomplish that marketing goal. Now it seems they have abandoned it entirely (at least for the time being).
That's a very idealized view of "education". The value of spending 40 hours in any given class is highly variable based on the subject matter, teacher, and perhaps most of all the other students. Online Ed is trying to change this dynamic but there are many worthless classes one can take that cost more than they are worth. And I would guess the free community classes rank on the low-end of the subject matter/teacher/student spectrum.
Did anyone of you assholes even notice?

Now that that is out of the way. How do you really feel about it? Not even a little bit sad?
This talking point of once-sky-high marginal tax rates gets a lot of airplay, but it's very misleading. Almost no one paid those rates. Tax receipts as percentage of GDP have been remarkably stable over time:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hauser%27s_law#/media/File:U.S...

Total tax revenue in the US is 27% of GDP. In Sweden, it's 46%:

Oh, sure. There are still professional photographers but the industry is nothing like it was when my grandfather started in his late teens (post-war Germany, a period of massive growth). And we're talking about a freelancer (with an assistant), not someone working for a large agency. The industry changed a lot for people like him.

That nearly every industry developed like that is precisely on point: that your job is currently a safe bet doesn't mean it's something you'll be able to do all your life, no matter how good you are. There may never be a "Bitrot Belt" but the job market simply isn't static and never has been.

The entire point of the anecdote was that he had a successful career doing one thing well past his thirties, things changed, and he switched to a completely unrelated career and was pretty good at that too. The details are just flavouring because it's a personal story.

If you want something more blue collar: my father-in-law had a long career as truck driver, then changed paths to work in logistics/manufacturing. Plus I think he worked as a mechanic at some point. Sure it's mostly centred around working with vehicles but those are still three different jobs before he reached retiring age.

The bigger problem in the US though might be location. The Rust Belt is dead because the jobs went away and there are not enough new jobs in the region to replace them. People actually have to uproot and relocate to find a new job and a new home -- that can be jarring.
That's exactly the current, default, ungenerous, belittling view held by democrats. How did that work out?

If you cannot understand them you cannot help them see why Trump is a bad idea.

It seems to me that you've dismissed them, having never thought to put yourself in their shoes; the shoes of the factory worker.

Michael Moore has friends that he likes, that he thinks are good people--not ignorant racists--that voted for Trump and instead of closing his mind to them he's tried to understand >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YY-CiPVo_NQ

Maybe you should too...
The article didn't mention tokenization of shares and token-based fund-raising. Presently, that is a far more disruptive and interesting use case for blockchains.
Also, it would be pretty easy to figure out who voted for who when they step out of the polling booth and the tally updates.

You could delay it a little but live updates is kind of a bad idea.

Minutely or hourly updates might be kind of cool but yeah bandwagoning would be an issue.
Well... hopefully it doesn't apply to your company!
>In effect, you don't stop people from supporting racism, homophobia, or misogyny by calling attention to it. That only makes them support it quietly.

I think you're mischaracterizing the problem. The racists, sexists, and other ist's/phobic's/whatever had no problem being vocal about it since Trump himself legitimized it.

Rather it was other people like evangelicals who felt guilty but voted for him anyway b/c they are single-issue voters (Supreme Court). Or people who have lost their livelihoods and are desperate for a government that truly represents their interests and doesn't just pay lip service every election.

Effectively there are at least two types of voters in Trump's coalition - ist's/phobic's, and fellow travelers who enable all that bad stuff as a side effect but were voting for other issues entirely. Likely even more complex than that, but the mistake I see the left making is trying to simplify explanations which cannot be simplified. That's just a recipe for losing the next elections too.
RE: "restore the glorious Russian Empire" - his latest customs/economic union with Kazakhstan and Belarus is a joke. And there's two most pro-russian regimes as of now. CIS is also as good as dead. USSR is gone and won't be restored.

How Baltic countries gate from Russia in "economical meaning"?
That's a shame, though I doubt you could objectively quantify and compare the sort of racism and sexism here with that of another given nation except at a surface level.

I am a little cynical maybe but I wouldn't be surprised if they built a luxury resort next to it and only wealthy clients can access it. I would be more positive if it were run like a national park accessible to all.

Most of the benefits the author lists would be true of just the Merkel tree without needing the wasteful proof-of-work consensus system, if it's used between trusted parties.

The parties don't have to be trusted. It's the opposite. A good blockchain needs mutually mistrustful parties who are not anonymous. If somebody tries to tamper with the ledger, all the other parties can easily tell who did it. It takes collusion of all parties to change history invisibly. Thus, you want parties who are not entirely cooperative.
I agree that AirBnB removing housing stock can be a problem, but I don't think only shared units is the one right answer. For one thing, this seems hard to enforce. Instead of renting out a one-bedroom unit on AirBnB, you could instead get a 4-bedroom and rent the bedrooms individually (or to be fully above board get a full-time tenant for one room and rent out the other 3 on AirBnB).

And I'm not sure how I feel about the fact that this would kind of limit use to young, single, healthy people. People with disabilities or medical issues, families trips with kids plus grandparents, or even just older or more introverted people that don't want the hostel vibe may want or need more privacy than a shared unit.

The other thing that gets overlooked is the flexibility AirBnB provides in the gray area between living somewhere and visiting - one can book an airbnb for a few weeks, pick up and move to a new city with no belongings, and look for a job while deciding whether to move there for longer. Or find a place to live for a short internship. People are doing this anyway via sketchy craigslist sublets, but it's a lot safer (I'm just assuming in terms of physical safety, but certainly in terms of avoiding scams) on a platform like AirBnB.

Overall, I'm disappointed that cities are not at least looking at the popularity of AirBnB and, say, creating a new kind of zoning/licensing to officially allow some small percentage of AirBnB units, or allowing some hotel zoning & construction to be added to the fun residential neighborhoods where people want to live & stay. Or encouraging more subletting type rentals (every lease I've ever been on forbids it).

If they were doing anything at all to acknowledge that AirBnB is providing something that a lot of people really want and allowing some aspects of that to flourish, I could get more behind these regulations to limit unlicensed rentals.
I mean "the wall" as an immigration enforcement mechanicsm. A fence in the middle of the desert does nothing. People have tried to sit down and sketch out what would be needed to actually catch immigrants everywhere, and the law enforcement costs are ridiculous (and in pursuit of an action which would objectively hurt the economy, no less).

How did you handle permanent residency requirements for your wife?

I'm a Danish citizen, with the fiancé being a US citizen - and my understanding is that it wouldn't be easy for us to live in Denmark due to us having an unreasonable burden in demonstrating attachment to Denmark vs the US (https://www.information.dk/indland/2016/07/nye-regler-famili...) --- and with the president-elect having talked about pausing legal immigration for 1-2 years it makes for pretty scary times as my employer currently is applying for PERM status for me (meaning things could be paused randomly by the president - and with no where for us to go but maybe Canada/other European countries)
That's what the "web" link is for
The difference is that the U.S. is a heavily rural country, whereas Canada is the second most urbanized country in the world. Our hinterland is not sufficiently populous to elect a Trump-like figure.
Sure, it isn't as easily measurable as stamping holes in license plates. But it is not impossible to evaluate performance.

It may take some time to evaluate, but I honestly feel my manager is good enough at his job to evaluate his worker's performance.

So, maybe initially, he pulls himself out of destitution with the job he 'stole' from me. Now he is just forever grateful that he doesn't have it much worse so he never wants more?

If the company gets a company man who does the job, never complains, and never asks for a raise, why would they ever hire me? The american who wants more money for the same job.
>You're actively engaged in the discussion, which is great!

please stop talking to me like i'm a child. its condescending and doesn't "work to improve the situation and make it constructive."
I have been thinking of why this happened. I wonder what would have happened if DAT was invented before the record industry consolidated in the 1970s for example.
Why don't we wait and see? So little of what Politico or the MSM has said about Trump so far has been correct.
The situation for devs in Canada is so much worse than in an American tech hub. It's actually pretty ridiculous. Everyone I know in Canada is intent on eventually relocating to NYC/SF/Seattle/LA because the jump in QOL is so huge.
I think their argument would be stronger if DRM opponents were more specific when talking about harms.

For example, DRM is used to spy on users. The article notes that DRM'd software can maintain a connection with a server and user actions are reported and recorded on the server. They need to go one step further and explain why this is bad and list some of the real damage that has caused.

If they don't, it sounds more hypothetical and people just aren't going to get all that bothered by it.

I think you're making a false equivalency here. Both sides are very thin-skinned, no doubt, but one is a direct insult ("you are deplorables") and one is taking general offense on behalf of other people for perceived slights.

(I voted for Hillary, mind.)
It's a question of priorities. It's easy to get into a war thinking it'll be short and easy then once you're in it's poisonous politically to not fund the war because it gets spun as not supporting the troops. Then it's hard to pull out of place like Iraq even if you don't want to keep funding the war because now it'll just become an broiling pot of lawless extremism because it's hard to rebuild a state and impose outside political systems at the same time.

Also a lot of the larger bases like those in Japan and South Korea are partially paid for by the countries there as part of getting US troops for defense.
This is really not much of a story, despite the exciting headline.

The claim is that IPSec core networks can be subjected to a denial of service, and that this will result in a DoS for the users. That's correct but not very interesting.

The researchers then go on to note that a DoS on 4G specifically can put users into a vulnerable position by shoving them over onto 2G networks, which are very vulnerable. But at the end of the day it's still only a DoS on LTE-- what you've switched to after that is not LTE's problem.

That's not to say the LTE isn't vulnerable, of course. Breaking data plane crypto at the ENB means that limited physical penetrations convert them into very effective surveillance tools. And the data plane crypto isn't great (lacks integrity protection). I've suspected in the cold quiet of my heart that some operators run EIA0 in production. Etc.

So, yay for DoS, but I wish people would use the word "hacked" a bit more clearly, or drop it all together.
PVS-Studio VS Microsoft Open Source Code
We continue checking Microsoft projects.
Some ideas:

1. Remote job as a "developer evangelist"? An engineer doing marketing and education, basically.

2. Don't go and tell people "I won't be as efficient as professional SW developer", just go and apply for the job.

3. Remote programming job at small company/startup, where multiple skills are actually valued.
I think the proactive steps that aren't at the expense of freedoms aren't the ones that are controversial.
I agree with these statements. Debate has become an offensive action many will go to great lengths to avoid.
SQL and general software development are the main skill. We are not data experts. The timeline should be as short as possible. I feel IT is making this into a big project with big budget to to justify their existence and charge a lot of money to our cost center and not acting in our interest. But I don't have hard data because I don't know that world well.
