Political posts are usually flagged for the tendency to attract highly emotional, low-content comments.
>The people who were funding Trump/Hillary were funding them equally. Is doesn't matter who won, they banks, oil companies and large media conglomerates still control the country like they have for the past several decades.

Yep. That's what makes it so hard for third party candidates. The donors fund both sides so they don't get left out in the cold if their guy loses. They have to believe you'll have a chance to win to fund you, and if they don't it becomes a self-fulfilling prophesy.
It's a little bizarre to introduce someone to torrents when you can use google images. Especially someone who is struggling to grasp computing as a whole.
Yes of course I would still argue against plea bargains if A-G were removed. That's exactly what I stated in my previous post, including reasons why, which you've avoided discussing.

Of course I think removing plea bargains and changing nothing else would be an improvement (no hassle-free imprisonment and brutal torture perpetuated by the state? sounds great!).

There are other non-free webframeworks that run COBOL and COBOL-like backends. One I am familiar with is WEbPortal from a company called Zortec in the US.

It works very well, very fast and is under active development. Although the backend can be written in COBOL, making porting to the web quite easy, the language it actually uses is called 'Z'.

I will assume that gozur88 has some source on the 85% increase. If that isn't true, ignore this.

A prerequisite for an 85% increase is some payment beforehand. If they had no health insurance, they wouldn't have been paying for health insurance, and therefore their rates could not increase.
Or don't? If you couldn't detect sarcasm in OP's writing, then you really need to go to human camp.

AP:  Donald Trump Elected President
Ask HN: How to tell if it's the right time to quit a job and work on an app?
Background: I just graduated university. I have an idea for an app and I've done some surveying to people that seemed to validate my hypothesis. I have also shown a prototype to my friends and family and have gotten some great positive feedback. However, my first full time job is going to start soon.

How can I tell if it's the right time to continue with my app, or should I just work at my full time job for some time?
This. The biggest realization I had during this election was that "leftist" is an identity based on inherited socio-economic status and has NOTHING to do with morals or values.

Saying dumb shit is evil and bad, but drone assassination campaigns, money from Goldman Sachs and Saudi Barbaria are okay. Not even talking about the upcoming invasion of Iran that Hillary was already planning. B-b-but white male!

I thought that the pseudo-left would've figured from Brexit that calling poor people dumb and racist to make themselves look good on facebook isn't a way to win over people's opinion.

"There is something to be said for not having to deal with the insane evangelicals, bitter uneducated whites..."

This is exactly the sentiment that has brought us to this point. Either you are tolerant, inclusive or you are not. Try respecting the thoughts and options of others instead of leveling insults. Equality demands that people that differ from you still get a voice.
Not exactly. The interesting question was really just "what is the purpose", full stop. In the sense of "what is the point of it all".

The point about the introspection bit is then that being unhappy, suffering from depression, and so on, can (philosophically) be taken to imply a purpose, even if you do not otherwise feel a desire or direct motivation that would get you out of that mental state.

(Justification is irrelevant, I think. It is only about how things are, and what you choose to do. But that is maybe just one philosophical viewpoint.)
The article gave advanced warning of 6 months. That nobody heeded ...
> You have to deal with unbelievable weather much of the year.

As the saying goes - "It rains only once, but for seven months (October through April)."

> oppressive mountains

Actually, said mountains limit traveling northbound (there's a single road that goes to Whistler), there's an ocean to the west, farmlands to the east and the US border with few hour wait crossing times to the south. So you are basically stuck in the city. It is a big city and lots to do, granted, but after a while it gets stale.

> incredible skiing, biking, hiking

... which don't move a needle unless you are a hardcore outdoorsman.

Not to forget the real estate chokeful of Chinese money and priced out of reach. School system that is focused on producing tolerant citizens rather than someone how knows what an integral is, etc.

On the plus side - a mild climate, very good restaurant scene, nice people and nearly free medicine (which is too not without its headaches).

To each his own, basically.
Agreed on the culture-shock. None of it will be too bad, probably, but there are enough little differences that it'll take a while to adjust, and not all people can/will manage it.

Probably won't be able to hire all those cheap H1Bs (and that's coming from a former H1B!)
Also a difficult question. Getting fired is possible here, but there are major repercussions for the business. If your hours were 9-5 and you had 30 days of vacation time you could take a year, no one would say anything if you did what are your rights as an employee. But if someone asks you to stay late and you don't have a good excuse, or if you take vacation days during times that are known to be busy periods, the repercussions are much more social rather than financial. The office gets dark, and they might move your desk into an undesirable area (they used to call it the window seat for some very grim reasons). There are worse things than getting fired.
But, also because of this system, if you do lose your job, it's extremely difficult to get another one.

Trump wins White House in astonishing victory

So you tell me that they use tricks to sell you one (good) thing and implement another (bad thing)? And you think they are not going to continue to do that? Specially with somebody at the helm that has been privately doing exactly that for a long time?

The USA will need to compete in the global market to sell its products. That means the USA will need to use globalization in order to find the best place to produce with quality and to be able to compete in price.

So, retreating from globalization is not an option. You can avoid people entering the country, but this is not going to make your country any richer. And that is for sure not going to guarantee that inequality is going to decrease.

For that, you need to tackle inequality directly, by collaborating internationally to avoid loopholes (double Irish and such crap) that steals revenue from countries and concentrates in the hand of the global financial elite.

Trump is not going to do any of that.
Yes, the article isn't very good. In essence, it reverses the direction of "holier than thou".

However, it raises an excellent point. The United States is not going to get anywhere if half the country looks down on the other half as a bunch of plebs, and in response the "plebs" disdain the elites. (I understand that this is a gross simplification, but I have seen this attitude often enough that it is significant).

For me, the article was about the need for mutual respect.
Been living in the Bay Area for 17 years. Nothing will change.
US is built on the brain drain from Europe(post ww2), India, Eastern Europe and other countries. Making it hostile for minorities and immigrants will cause the reversal of this.
Trump's tax plan involves adding significantly to the debt:

There can be a lot of emulation overhead, depending on how the emulation is done. So the fact that the hardware is more powerful than the Wii doesn't mean you could successfully do a high-fidelity Wii emulator on it.

It was only relatively recently that you could run a high-fidelity (bit-perfect, cycle-by-cycle actual emulation of the underlying hardware) emulator of an N64 on a PC. E.g. Project64 required a Pentium 4 with 1GB RAM and a GeForce 9000 in order to emulate a 94MHz R4300i and its vector coprocessor. (And I'm not sure how many shortcuts Project64 takes.)

Anyway, it might be that the hardware is overkill because they want to use it for other platforms, or it could just be that they're doing very high-fidelity emulation and are just beating the performance problems into submission with transistors.

Sorry, I don't think I fully understand your question. Again, what I say could be wrong, but if there's a flow of charge it could mean the outer electrons have more charge than they can contain whilst remaining part of an atom, resulting in either electrons breaking free of atoms, or the energy being passed on to another atom (causing a chain reaction as each atom does the same). I'd suggest a higher count of charges just means this is happening more.

I think another useful mechanism to consider is that atoms want to return to an electrically neutral state. If they have energy that differs from this neutral state, they will either give out energy or take in energy to reach the neutral state. The movement involved in rebalancing the atoms can be thought of as electric current. Again, happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.

One thing is for certain: we just flushed our last hope of averting a global climate catastrophe down Donald Trump's gold-plated toilet.
so they voted for a guy who's plan is to fuck over the middle class.

Trump Wins Presidency
What is it like for an American making the move? What were the best and worst parts?
Racists.

Now, hear me out - I'm not saying that Trump is a racist himself (I'm also not saying he isn't), but it's undeniable that his candidacy has been boosted by racist supporters. They will take this victory to heart and consider it a validation of their world view, irrespective of whether it actually is or not. Worse, future political candidates will see this victory and pander to these same impulses in the future.

On a more general note, it's really damn difficult to know who wins here. Because what does a Trump/Republican administration look like? Trumpism is really quite different to Republicanism (particularly where big business is concerned) and there's a lot to be decided in how this will go.

Oh, wall builders. They might be winners.
So as a European ... Clinton didn't spend enough time in the Upper Midwest expecting to carry those states, but Trump had an actual message for them (NAFTA, etc.) while Hillary didn't, and they don't care that he is racist and sexist, they want their jobs back, so the election was called by a 40+ white demo in an economically depressed region just like old Middle England called Brexit. About right?
The Republican party of Trump is not the Republican party pre-Trump.
Because win or lose you have to pay the loan shark.
Yeah, fair enough, I could have been more clear.
I, like many, did not see this coming and I am truly afraid for the future of the USA. We sure showed up Brexit, though.
Ah well, and his party has house and Senate too. I've been looking through his policies and I'm amazed at how he won.

I'm gonna be angry about this for an hour before I give find something else to do.

Not completely sure about the internals of the Kotlin compiler, but I believe it does. You can do a non-local return (i.e. return from the top-level function, not the lambda passed to .forEach) from inside them. This would be very difficult if the body were not inlined, because you'd need to store a lexical stack of return addresses and ensure that the closure never escapes the HOF. (I think it actually does perform this escape analysis; I've gotten error messages before when trying to pass a lambda with a non-local return into a functional argument that wasn't one of the basic collection iterators.)
Thats something conservatives are usually accused of saying.
There are many layers of HIPAA outside of of just electronic data security. You must train your staff on security protocols (e.g not sniffing for celebrity records, etc).

I am pretty sure even if your office is all paper charts you still fall under certain HIPAA guidelines such as notifying patients if there was a breach (e.g physically stealing records from the office). This happened in Rocklin, CA a few years ago.

An Optimate was a supporter of the Senatorial class who were benefiting from the massive wealth flowing into Rome after conquering the Mediterranean area. This created a huge problem after 100 of thousands of slaves were brought back to Italy and eliminated the small Roman farmers. The populares took advantage of this, but it ended up in civil strife and war for about 80 years.
Still here. Nate Silver's models were some of the most generous towards Trump's chances of winning out there.

Yes.

You cannot ignore entire demographics - working class, uneducated etc - and not expect consequences. The Westminster bubble acted as if only London and the SE existed. Clinton and to be fair, most of the political establishment, have been in favour of free trade and NAFTA and ignored the consequences.
Honestly, I'm still a fan. He, unlike most other models, gave Trump a healthy shot and cautioned repeatedly that a large polling miss was possible this year. That's pretty much what happened.

Very nice! I voted for him in Oregon, so my state is one of the few holding out.
It is possible to view this as an isolated event or a trend. Coming on the heels of BREXIT this is a trend.

The attempts at building an interconnected globalised world are beginning to fail. A bunch of elites decided to create their own trans-national utopia unchecked by borders and dismissed all criticism as racist or bigoted. The globalisation project has been rejected by a majority of the population. Whether it is for economic reasons or just plain bigotry is something for the sociologists to study and not something I can pontificate on.

Also people seem to care a LOT about immigration and preserving their culture. Instead of patronising these people it's time we tried to understand their concerns and try to assuage them.

There is no genuine leftist alternative. It's a choice between center-right "left" that's sold out to the establishment and the far right.Economists need to stop acting like priests in the medieval ages who justified the existing order . The rural voter who lost his job doesn't care about the theory of comparitive advantage.

If this trend holds this will soon take hold in France and other European nations. This is a return to the world of the 1920s. Not gloom and doom but a much more unstable global order with every country for itself. Not what we need when we face planet scale threats like global warming.
