Your post suggests that now that Trump supporters are the majority, it's open season on minorities. Like somehow the regular joes who voted for Trump will turn into some kind of criminals that go around beating up minorities. I find that ridiculous. It's not just the majority, it's the minority as well (see the video). Criminals gonna criminal, regardless if they are the majority or minority.

It's also unfair to say that the act of electing Trump is implicitly condoning this kind of behavior, which is absurd. ~60 million people voted for Trump. A tiny minority will use it as an excuse to commit violence and crime. Just like a tiny minority of Hillary supporters will use the election of Trump to commit violence and crime (See video).

Now, you use Brexit as an example where ordinary people who didn't agree with the direction the country was going and wanted a change, somehow turned to violence. I'd need to see some evidence of this because here's an article (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3805008/The-great-Br...) that provides direct evidence from your police force that hate crimes did not significantly increase. Here's a sample from the article:

"However, its footnote added that 85 people had logged hate crime ‘incidents’ on True Vision, a website that records unverified allegations of such behaviour, during the four days in question, up from 54 during the corresponding period a month earlier.

What exactly did this mean? The police press release made things clear. ‘This should not be read as a national increase in hate crime of 57 per cent but an increase in reporting through one mechanism’ over a single 96-hour period."

And the next section is a series of images that were used as propaganda citing a 57% increase in hate crimes since brexit used by anti-brexit campaigners. A direct contradiction to your police force's analysis of the statistics.

The idea that somehow ordinary people turn into racist criminals is just wrong. So there, I shared with the class. I hope your condescending response made you feel smug and happy inside. Made me feel good to drop police stats to prove my case. Why don't you go ahead and share your stats with the class that suggest an uptick in violence due to "implicit" permission.
JavaScript isn't a type of logic, it's a language. You wouldn't say JavaScript is the M in MVC, for example. If you have JS in HTML, and that JS code is strictly view logic, then your code still has a clear and useful separation of responsibilities.
seems like Trump is already following in illustrious footsteps. Guess who else really cared about building highways?
Some advanced bash scripting
Point A is interesting because you can see particularly on OSX that it is not native, despite widespread recommendations to use Qt for cross platform development. I have used wxWidgets on multiple platforms and despite its idiosyncrasies, I have found it performed very well and is obviously truly native on all platforms (unless you choose wxUniversal as a rendered; nobody does) or unless you do "owner drawn" stuff and paint yourself. In any case I would not hesitate recommending wxWidgets for native controls over Qt.

Other minor Qt annoyances include their own scrollbars which ignore the system setting of "jump to where I click the thumb" setting etc.
"A huge complaint for ages" was a reference to what I saw people talking about after the 2000 election. If you say that it's wrong based on how the Constitution came about in the 18th century, then you've completely misunderstood what I was saying there. I'm not saying that people have been complaining about it for hundreds of years, I'm saying that people were complaining about it for months (or years?) following the 2000 election.

2000 was the first presidential election I was old enough to vote in. I have voted in every presidential election (and every midterm and local one except when I was living overseas) since. Of the presidential elections I've voted in, the electoral college has flipped 40% of them. So don't try to dismiss my complaint on the basis that it's rare. Maybe it is throughout history, but it has become distressingly common lately.

And don't assume I'm complaining just because "my side" lost. I didn't vote for Gore in 2000. I did vote for Clinton in 2016, but I do not identify as a Democrat, and only voted for her because I believe Trump is a terrifying and dangerous choice. I was too young to vote for Bill Clinton in the 90s, and while I think he did a decent job, I think HW Bush and Dole would have too.

I don't really see how Bill Clinton is "putting the shoe on the other foot." My ideal system wouldn't be a simple first-past-the-post arrangement. I would like to have runoff elections or ranked-choice voting or something like that.

You seem to be imagining a whole slew of arguments on my behalf that I didn't make and don't believe. If you want to reply to me, please reply to what I'm saying, not whatever you imagine I must think.
There was just one candidate in this election that wants to control what you can say. And it wasn't Hillary.

Hillary wants to change the constitution to take away your 1st amendment right to make and distribute "Hillary: The Movie".

There are tons of things to learn here for application developers of all sorts. I've found that working out the interaction model before polishing up the visuals usually results in a much better thought out and more usable application.

Too many designs start with how it looks and now how it works, but Nintendo's genius is to pick one interaction model, teach the user that model, and then just run with it.
> Something like 98% of suicide bombings were by muslims this year.

There have been 0 suicide bombings in the US this year. The last suicide bombing in the US was in 2005 (11 years ago), the perpetrator was not a muslim and he was the only person killed. He also had no terroristic background.

> If we are tougher at the border, then the ones who are here will live happier lives because people will stop suspecting them of being terrorists.

You should have never started suspecting them of being terrorists. Or do you suspect all young white men of being school shooters? That would be equally wrong.
I can completely understand that. While we're having a useful discussion on how to rebuild trust, is it useful to bring up an emotional and tangential (albeit related) topic like this? I'm afraid it can potentially derail the conversation. (I hesitate to even bring this up for the same reason). That's not to say that this shouldn't be discussed. A lot of the language used during the campaign was particularly vicious and should be addressed. I just don't know if this particular micro-discussion is the place for it. Figuring out solutions to the things we agree on is particularly important given the highly polarized environment we find ourselves in. And with that, I'll take my answer off the air :)
"There is a huge opportunity here to contribute to Atom and make it way better than it already is. Write a piece chain text buffer implementation. Write a gap buffer implementation. Anything but using a regular array like this."

Is it really that easy? Why aren't they using those data structures already?
The power stemming from his fame and money. Are you being deliberately daft? Do you not understand the concept of power differential and powerlessness? Your second question suggests you have a profound misunderstanding of the sense of powerlessness victims often feel and thus don't call the cops. The cops aren't always called after every crime.

You need to study more about crime and the psychology of victims/perpetrators.
Genetic similarity is definitely a poor measure, but keep in mind many (including myself) consider testing on mice highly unethical as well.
It's sad how this fetishization of "objectivity" has spread – unlike other urban legends, even smart people have bought into it.

The idea already breaks down because journalists have to make judgements when deciding on what to print – page space is limited, and that holds for the digital realm as well, if you include the prominence a story gets.

It appears these critics want journalists to judge everything without deference to prior knowledge. When they get an anonymous letter saying Obama kills puppies, it deserves the same billing as press release by the CDC about the recommended flu shots. Because it's "bias" to consider the CDC a more reliable source, or not to question the existence of this supposed "flu".

I don't know the example you're mentioning. I knew about the Fatwa against Salman Rushdie, and I learnt about it from mainstream sources. There are many clerics in islam, and maybe, in your example, it wasn't reported because it's some self-declared mufti whose opinion has no actual weight in islam? Or maybe it's a man-bites-dog situation: the intolerance within islam is well known and not "news", whereas we still hold domestic organization to a higher standard, as we should.

So here we are now. Everyone is equal. Facebook gives "the average joe (janes need not apply)" the same tools as the NYT. Let me ask you: are we better for it? Do you believe you are better informed reading a random twitter feed instead of having a subscription to the NYT or WSJ?

The answer is pretty obvious. Even Republicans marvel how easy it was to elevate what amounts to a random youtube comment threat to the national conversation. Grandpa's forwards, previously laughed at with their caps lock stuck and a tenuous grasp of basic grammar will soon be turned into laws.
This is starting to happen already. China has started launching lawsuits in Canada to seize real estate purchased with questionable money:

Ha, I wish I could up vote you twice.
Which I guess would be considered ironic considering his response was directed towards someone else who can't.
I don't like to mis-characterise anyone's position. The following article suggests that I was indeed wrong, and I apologise: http://www.dailydot.com/irl/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-lgb...

However, from the same article it appears that Trump has vowed to sign the FADA, has said he supports North Carolina's anti-LGBT law, and has said he would strongly consider appointing Justices who would overrule marriage equality, which seem like legitimate causes of concern for the LGBQT community.

[Edit: Arguably Thiel is allied with Pence as well, who HAS advocated Conversion Therapy, so what I wrote was technically correct, but I did indeed mean Trump when I wrote it and I was wrong]

> Some workers at the online food-delivery company said they were left with the impression they weren't welcome if they supported Trump.

That's misconstrued - "We do not tolerate hateful attitudes on our team" is the key to the "please reply to this email with your resignation" part, not "[if you voted for Trump]" (which isn't even in his last two paragraphs anyway!)
Yes, generally speaking.

Direct voting was intentionally discouraged by some of the founders, to prevent the "tyranny of the majority". The goal was to force a candidate to appeal to as many types of people as possible, and not allow someone to just focus on what the simple majority of people want.

It could be argued that in this election the electoral college technically performed the function it was originally designed to do -- that is, give rural areas a small but possible opportunity to out-compete urban ones in an election despite having less total citizens.
Thanks, I was about to edit my post with more accurate numbers but yours work.
As have I. Keep it coming. :)
Certainly, it's an issue throughout the West as well, to a degree. For that matter, my guess would be that the culture of honesty is improving in China while it worsens in, say, the U.S..
I really really really hope that Winston Peters polls well with this as a policy so John Key will appropriate it.
Great idea. The list needs improvement, though, and editing. Check out the erroneous entries on the unsorted tab, for instance.

A lot of these items are subjective, as well. What, for instance, qualifies someone as a "great legal scholar?"
No, I replied right on point. Let me spell it out:

1. No "favorable conditions" to slavery means Stowe never recognised advantages to slavery. Not only he does not, but he laments it despite those "favorable conditions".

2. Hale didn't excuse the courts; he actively supported their work. That is, until he decided he didn't want to. Later commentators on the trials mark this as the defining moment that helped turn public opinion against the prosecutions.

To sum up my point, read your history.
Your comment literally made me cringe inside.
> I don't hear anybody complaining about Apple's anti-competitive ban on AV for iOS.

There is no antivirus for iOS, not even from Apple. That's not anti-competitive.

Where the rest goes, I don't know. But I'm not going to take most antivirus vendors very seriously until they stop adding gratuitous security holes when installed.
Well, he made empty promises for votes. I don't see any way he could realistically bring those jobs back, even with raising tariffs.

I mean, if all it takes is having someone tell them "I'm a Democrat, and we're going to bring your jobs back, promise!", then liberals should start sending some random guy to all these places and saying that at town meetings and local public access channels on a weekly basis to prime and placate them early for the next election.
This is the same as cops offering to sell drugs or sex and then busting the buyers.

Hillary was a poor candidate. She lost Michigan by 14,000 votes and she never even brought up that Obama and the democrats bailed out GM and Chrysler thereby saving many of their jobs and livelihoods. She was campaigning with lines like "when they say I'm playing the women card--I say deal me in!"

Meanwhile, Trump was saying things like "remember when the cars were made in Flint and you couldn't drink the water in Mexico? Now they make the cars in Mexico and you can't drink the water in flint."

Hillary failed to relate to voters. She lost the majority of women and working class, who should be the reliable democratic base. She was the image of robotic boredom and I voted for her. Tim Kaine was a waste of a VP spot and a snub to Bernie. Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Donna Brazile made Hillary look completely untrustworthy. Hillary arrogantly expected Obama's coalition to fall in line behind her without offering them anything to rally behind other than again Trump, which clearly wasn't enough.

Democrats have to own this failure and ask themselves what they could have done better.
You said "I wouldn't regard him as intelligent by any means" (emphasis mine). If you don't want people to question your statements, try not to make them so sweeping.

Someone that graduated from Stanford twice is definitely intelligent by some means.
Australia is a different case due to the lack of many urban areas. If development where allowed to continue at a faster pace with no red tape most of Australia could no doubt be turned into an economic super power much like Japan. The country is huge, has an extremely smart population, and is already known for engineering prowess. The heel that is Australia's weakness is high import tariffs on pretty much anything, poor ISP quality due to monopolies, and a select few urban areas.

This is also coupled with how great of a place Australia is to live to create a pretty high bar in housing prices. To be honest, if some things where changed about Australia I'd move there. It's got low crime, great politics so far, and a lot of things I like. It's just too focused on a select few areas and too pricey.
You're in for a fun 4 years, then.
Sure, but as we saw in the Silk Road investigation, this is something that can be co-opted by a less than scrupulous agent.

When you exempt certain agencies from the law, they will inevitably abuse that power. In these conditions it was acceptable. However, setting up a CP server as a honeypot crosses the line and blurs the line between stopping and supporting it.
Entrapment is when the police make you do something you wouldn't normally do. For example, if they showed you a popup you didn't want to see and then arrested you for it, that would be entrapment.
I think for it to be entrapment, you would have to convince the users to use the site against their normal judgement - rather than them using it of their own free will.
Your last statement is wrong. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12931386
>a lot of admiration for Obama and Clinton, despite their flaws

That is a problem. Because despite you overlooking their flaws, the "portions of the country that have been most ravaged by free trade orgies and globalism — Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Iowa — were filled with rage" saw "a protector and beneficiary of all the worst components of status quo elite corruption" and overlooked intolerance and targeted crony capitalist corruption.

Solely focusing on “racism/sexism/xenophobia” while ignoring “economic suffering” is what led to this outcome.

Cenk Uygur put it succinctly during the primaries: “Instead of looking at it as, ‘Hey, one guy hasn’t taken corrupting money and the other one has,’ you frame it as male vs. female,” Uygur said. “And hence, put me in a position where I’m forced to say, no, I don’t think it would be historic because I think it’s the same old establishment.”
You might want to read beyond the clickbait headline.

Let's read my comment again, shall we?

> I don't blame him or her given that people around here worship Apple.

Where did I say "all people"? Where did I even say "the majority"?

I did not say either one of those. That's because I personally feel that any amount of Apple fans is too many.

Furthermore, your evidence is backwards. The fact that people complained about the new MBP is proof that they wanted to buy one in the first place.
Yes, libraries/frameworks like that are certainly easier to work with than generators.
Even fruit flies share ~60%, and I guess most people agree that insects are fair game.
They absolutely should not turn in their resignations. I work for a state writing unemployment insurance application software. If the CEO wants them out, he needs to lay them off/fire them. If the employees hand in their resignation, they are ineligible for benefits. That is what the CEO wants, but that is not what the workers should allow. They are owed unemployment insurance benefits in this case.
The man who completely called it wrong WRT to Trump in the primaries, and I seem to remember seeing a Tweet where he called both the final election and the World Series wrong (and the latter domain is where he first made his bones)?

I've gotten the general impression that while he might have done not as badly as others in this last minute polling, in general he did not cover himself in glory in 2016, and here I rate it by an org's confidence in their numbers.

But I didn't follow this at all closely, for it was obvious to me all or almost all the public polls were getting it seriously wrong, see e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12930950
I'm not acting like anything. I've not stated a position on deportation of illegal immigrants. My comment had nothing to do with the issue. Please reread the exchanges without making assumptions on my positions.

BTW, under Obama more people have been deported than under any other President. I'm in favor of trying to do as much as possible to prevent illegal immigration. And yet the comment I made that you responded to is absolutely correct. Think about it.
Exactly. Defender is non-invasive and good enough. It's my opinion that most anti-virus software should be classified as a virus - it screws with your computer in ways you don't understand and don't like, and it's usually very hard to get rid of.

Somebody at work went and managed to get themselves infected with some type of bitlocker-type virus a few months back, and so the decision was made to push AVG to all machines. What a PITA. I might as well have gone back to using spinning-rust instead of SSDs for compiling in Visual Studio, until I figured out how to eradicate the AVG tentacles scanning and intercepting everything. And AVG is supposed to be one of the better ones.
I don't think the left ever widely professed a desire for a non-establishment candidate from the right.

They were much more worried about how the Republican party has veered right over the years. This has led them to adopt extremist views such as branding entire ethnic groups as dangerous, and rolling out laws that inhibit the ability of minorities to vote.

These are just some of the worries that the left in America has with the Republican party.

Out of context this sounds much worse than it is - the FBI forcefully took control of a hosting network that included 23 child-porn service sites. They then used it as a platform to serve malware to the visitors of the sites. Within a month, they shut down the websites.

Except that when the cops run drug or prostitution stings, they don't actually provide drugs or sex, do they? I thought they offered without actually having the product, then nail the buyer based on their intent to buy.

Actually providing the sting targets with illegal material seems a lot shadier.
I hope you're just being argumentative and obtuse on purpose. I'd wager most Californians in the US armed forces have greater allegiance to the country than to the state. First and foremost they see themselves as Americans and secondly as whatever state they are from.

People in the armed forces are US military, not CA military, so going rogue would be the ones going against the US. The logic is easy to follow.
