And the seeds of today's defeat: NAFTA, the 1993 free trade bill passed by her own husband that unleashed globalisation on an untrained and ill-prepared American workforce and rebooted Reagan Democrats as Trump democrats.
I think that's both an accurate assessment and a useful prescription.

I don't know how to get more people to engage in trade either. Better education, probably. Even though I live in the Bay Area, used to work for a multinational corporation, know plenty of immigrants (including a parent), and have entrepreneurial friends that basically employ an army of international contractors through UpWork, I still find myself reluctant to take the plunge and take advantage of globalization.
Somehow it feels "frowned upon" to celebrate that you're a white male. It's something we can't be proud of. Patriarchy and the fact that white males dominate the corporate world is apparently something that should be "changed". I hope Trump changes that.
Trump ended up winning the college educated white vote.
> The left doesn't embrace freedom of speech for those that think differently from them though.

Do you have examples of the left in the US banning free speech for those that think differently from them?

> What are you afraid of?

A ban on abortions for one.

It's fair to say nobody really knows what Trump will do, but one of the few things he's been consistent on is friendlyness towards Putin.

I have more than one non-American friend right now who is happy Trump won. Because they thought Hillary would start WW3 with Russia.
You have no clue. This is really serious shit, the genies he let out of the bottle during the election will not go back in just as victory has come into their grasp.
Just bring back Ron Paul.
I will always remember the media in this campaign. CNN's quote of "Also interesting is remember, it’s illegal to possess, ah, the stolen documents — it’s different for the media" really typifies the type of standards the media has lowered itself to.

How could nobody see that ignorance and stupidity on that level was not helping them... It is like they took a gun, paid a lot of money for it, and then used it to shot themselves in the foot.
Thank Obamacare for that, and that only kicked in on 2011. Prior to that, insurance recission was a real and pervasive issue for those with preexisting conditions.
We're talking about 1980, not 2016. I didn't say they're the same relative economic superpower today than they were decades ago.

If I wanted to be facetious (this is obviously ridiculous), I would say that the solution to your complaint that America's economy is in decline is to start another war.
> American exports to China are almost nothing.

Except they are quite significant, third largest after Canada and Mexico.
Our U.S. Democracy was the one and only thing I truly believed in.

Now I have nothing.
As others have said, this is our Brexit. The manufacturing jobs aren't coming back. The supply chains aren't here anymore. The labor is too expensive. The environmental concerns are too grave. They'll now be left with even less than they had before.
Alex Jones and friends.
Typical.

You didn't get the expected result so you blame democracy. History is filled with countries abandoning democracy in favor of dictatorships.

It never works out.
Perfect example: Brendan Eich, former CEO of Mozilla, who was perfectly competent but fired for having donated to a gay or non-gay cause (I don't remember which one). This kind of opinion dictatorship has to end.
Thanks. You won't regret it. It is a most extraordinary masterwork.

That book changed my thinking in ways I find difficult to describe. It was as if the world suddenly developed richer textures. I don't know if he would agree, but I felt it was a very 'Thielian' book. A lot of his ideas and statements came into focus for me when I read it. Together with the recordings I mention it became quite an experience.

I'm not sure what the military would do in that case, the world's a much different place than it was in 1880.
There was a news article about teens in Macedonia making up to 3k a day by writing clickbait/gossip articles on Trump and cashing in on ads.
Wow, this is so unexpected. Reading the news a few hours ago, it sounded absolutely certain that Hillary Clinton would win.

I think it shows that there is a limit to how far people can be manipulated by the media. It's a win for the people.
Russia needs Crimea to secure it's excess to the Black see. Losing Crimea to NATO (or losing it at all) would be a huge problem. As long as you have Crimea - you basically control most of the Black Sea.

As for the Eastern Ukraine - best case scenario - securing a terrain pass to Crimea. Worst case scenario - destabilisation of the the country and more 'ground' during negotiations over any deal. Almost like taking hostages.

Baltics don't have such values.
What will happen to the interiors when they realize their tax subsidies won't exist anymore?
You cannot really help gullible people. If you don't, someone else will take advantage of them...and you probably can't control everyone who does that either.

I don't want to diagnose this result, but it seems like a lack of critical thinking is what is missing from large swathes of the American populace.
Have you actually checked your privilege?

As a white male you are the wealthiest, healthiest, most celebrated segment in modern society.

If you feel otherwise it's likely something going on in your own head.

EDIT my point is that you're complaining you can't celebrate your white privilege, when in fact every day is a celebration of that. Not that because you are white you necessarily are any of those things - just that it is easier to be.

EDIT2

> All it leads to is an endless loop of arguments

Or, if you step back and don't get so "offended" it's also known as a "discussion".

There's a huge amount of people who really, really don't know how good they have it. Talk about how they need more. Then get offended when you point out there are people worse off.

Inequality is a serious issue, and yes we do need to have a discussion around "privilege", who is or isn't "privileged", and comparison of levels of "privilege".
The left has almost no political power. It is also the popular majority. There are more registered democrats in the us than republicans. Clinton is likely to win the popular vote. The system is physically designed, by districting and the electoral college, to support the political minority. You are conflating the actual demographics with the electoral system, which is lending more power to an oppressive point of view that is precisely what the political elite cultivates.
I've literally never seen any evidence of that being the case.
Nobody is talking about the old British class system in this thread so that doesn't appear to be the relevant context.
Read up on why the EC exists. I think the term that applies is "concurrent majority".

If you want a counter-example, you can look at small town and rural upstate NY and realize how their concerns are always neglected because the sheer number of NYC voters drowns out any chance they have to be heard as part of the electorate.
The new MacBook Pro doesn't seem to be that big of deal any more.
Fuck this shit. White supremacism has just been validated on a national scale. The markets are tanking and the value of the US dollar will drop. People like Giuliani, Christie, and Duke will have the reins; everything good Obama did will be overturned, and the Supreme Court will turn red. Even nuclear war will no longer be off the table.

My country is collapsing around me. I want out before shit gets a whole lot worse — while that's still an option. Somewhere where the US dollar has less influence and where fallout has less of a chance to reach. (And also with good coffee and beer.)
One of my coworkers is seriously contemplating moving to the Germanic world, either Zurich or Germany. Had little to do with the election, but just in general for a much better lifestyle.
150K is a bit unrealistic. The US is not only Silicon Valley.
But 100K is realistic, and I would certainly appreciate that.

Regarding the quota of 65.000-110.000/year: With a 100K salary cap the numbers could stay the same. What's clear is that the H1-B visa departments are not able to process even 50.000 per season. The ones who take the risk or can afford it not to travel are staying and waiting for the processing after the first 3 years. The others, esp. the ones who need to do business traveling and their visa was not processed (even with Priority) have to leave the country and the program, like me.

Streamline the process, get more personal or raise the cap.
Your Brexit stat is a bit misleading.

Most likely to care about immigration is directly connected to the rate of change. If you plot the derivative the correlation becomes very clear.
A lot of Bernie supporters were college kids who spared whatever money they could and donated only to find, it was rigged, their money was stolen and given to Hillary instead.

I think people have no idea how much this was a vote against Hillary. Look at Trump, even with all his rhetoric and crazy statements he made, they still picked him! That says a lot about Hillary and the DNC and the campaign they ran.
Can you articulate your position instead of giving single-sentence dismissals?
Scala for Android is fine. The only thing that makes it harder than Kotlin is JetBrains disingenuously shipping their Kotlin plugin but not their (more popular) Scala plugin by default, which they could fix tomorrow if they wanted to.
The thing about negating white culture is prevalent only in the US. Most Europeans are fiercely proud of their culture and nation.
I was in San Francisco. Admittedly, that's a very unique situation. But I was shocked to see so many homeless people, and that the streets were so dirty. I was shocked to hear so many reports of gun violence coming from Oakland. There is just so much hopelessness in America.

I had a really bad experience with health care. In New Zealand, I never had to think twice about visiting the ER or hospital, where it's free, very high quality, and there's no long waits. In the US, a few trips to the ER including x-rays cost me something like ten thousand dollars, even after health insurance. My startup's plan might have not been great, but I understand why so many Americans go bankrupt from medical debt. I have a friend who went through cancer, which ended up costing millions of dollars. His family would have literally lost their home without the Affordable Care Act, which prohibits lifetime limits.

Having said that, I do like most things about San Francisco. There's some great food, great people, and so many things to do. It's a great place to live if you are wealthy. I wouldn't go back there as an employee or a startup founder, but maybe one day as an investor.
There were serious concerns during the primaries about how well Sanders was doing among minorities compared to Clinton, and now Clinton has failed to secure enough support from minorities to overcome a racist opponent. Plus, there's no telling how much mileage the Republican party could have gotten out of tarring Sanders as a "socialist".

Sanders definitely would have been a big risk. But in hindsight and especially given the weak set of potential candidates available to the Democratic Party, a big risk may have been necessary, and Trump was probably the best opportunity they could have hoped for to gamble on a non-traditional candidate of their own.
A lot of people are making categorical statements about whole countries, on what I can only assume are their own experience. I'm surprised that after Brexit, you can still be this categorical about "the will of the people".
London is a port with at least four international airports. It's the most outward-facing internationalist city in the UK.

> Just wrote everyone off as racists and bigots.

Not everyone who voted for Trump is a racist and a bigot. BUT, anyone who is a racist and a bigot voted for Trump.
Is it fun? I think if you buy his story it might be fun. I feel pretty strong on my economics, and listening to Sanders talking was just disappointing.

When the hit-piece anecdote came up that Sanders was asked for leave a commune for lollygagging instead of working, it rang SO true for me. I know that it's overall a small irrelevant week in a whole life, but it really painted what kind of guy he is. http://freebeacon.com/politics/bernie-sanders-asked-leave-hi...
"respect for American culture" always comes in the form of trashing and stereotyping other cultures and enumerating the reasons why "they" should leave. Maybe if you tried an affirmative approach, instead of saying all kinds of racist and bigoted things about other cultures, fewer people would call you a bigot or a racist.
Calling the population undereducated while saying the dumbest shit imaginable. You're truly leading by example.
No conventional republican was selected simply because of the way the GOP selects its candidates. With 30 people fighting each other, the votes were just too split up to allow anyone to get a nice majority.

I've currently got a draft of it 1/3rd done. But I am better at talking and answering questions than at writing.
True, but it also a little to early to assume that Trump will turn the US into a 3. world country. Most of the things happing right now is due to people panicking about a future that is now perceived as more unstable, compared to if Hillary had won.

It's my belief that most of the short term problems that will arise from president elect Donald Trump is because people make wild speculations, and less because of his actions.

>Clearly business as usual was not going to cut it,

This is clearly the real disconnect. I think things are going just fine, and the statistics I read say that, well, things are getting better, mostly, for most other people, too.

But then, I think free trade is great, and have no problem with NAFTA, just like almost everyone in the political establishment. I thought that protectionism was kind of a fringe thing. Clearly it's not, but that is what I thought before this election.
I don't think the response was as simple as "No, you can't have that because I don't want to". Reading the discussion about removal of this feature on Github there seems to be a few more points made that the author alludes to:
https://github.com/elm-lang/elm-compiler/issues/985

Also, It's worth noting that Elm does have a BDFL. Evan makes the call and, as I'm sure a lot of python folks would agree, that setup means that the language is going to remain consistent, clean and well defined. This might be frustrating, but is part of keeping a strong design philosophy that directs the language. In that context, is it really a valid criticism?

Evan actually addresses this issue directly by talking about the different communities with different aims. He says that having these different communities with different design decisions makes the whole scene a lot stronger[1]:

> if you go back a year so on the mailing list you'll see a lot of people talking about type classes "when are we going to have this in Elm?", "we need this", "this is the most important thing", and a language came out that had different priorities and all the people who wanted that kind of feature started using that language and so now that's not to say one of the communities is making a better choice than the other, it just means we can all experiment with a different philosophy and way of thinking and do well."

> or the crusades happened

The ones who got morally wronged by the crusades are actually the Christian nations of the East Roman Empire:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sack_of_Constantinople_(1204)

What is your vision of the wrongness of the crusades? It's certainly not that the religion which had spread itself with the wars across the outer lands of the East Roman Empire on the promises of 72 virgins for its fighters and the war until the whole world submits to their rules (the name of the religion means "the submission") was morally right.
They will leave the US before they start a war or try to force a california sucession. Ireland could become the next Silicon Valley it may change from Silicon Valley to Technology Island. It would be cheaper for them to pay for their diverse workforce to move to a different country rather than go to war for sucession.
>No, she's definitely as much or as little corrupt as any other politician.

Not according to the bought meetings via donations to the Clinton foundation. You need some significant evidence to show this is standard practice for all secretaries of state.

Look, you clearly don't think there is anything to this corruption angle. Therein stems the disconnect between you and the typical Trump supporter.

>The electorate focused on emails and assumed content of those emails for months, and ignored 400 problems with Trump.

The media focus on Trump was about him being offensive or using a tax loss carryover. The email scandal is about violations of the law with regard to the handling of state secrets. Then pretending she didn't understand classification, etc.

>It wasn't a painless choice, but the correct choice sure as hell was obvious to anyone trying.

Right, anyone trying to justify their preconceived notions.

You ignore the corruption and two-tiered legal treatment, Trump supporters ignored the pussy grabbing talk and other non-PC shit he spews.
> As a white male you are the wealthiest, healthiest, most celebrated segment in modern society.

Yes. I don't want to feel that I need to apologize for this or be treated in a negative way. I get that we're at the top of the ladder, now leave us alone.

Sorry I was lost in translation. I'm French and I shamefully forgot the most importa part of the expression. I meant direct universal suffrage.
You're missing the point and I'm probably just digging myself a hole, but hey, it's karma and this is my life.

I'm really glad though, that you won't be affected by a Trump/Pence presidency, their open desire to rollback gay rights, or their regular demonization and scapegoating of minorities. I mean, it's not like we've already seen incidents of violence and hate speech as a result of this election cycle. Not like we've already heard reports of kids repeating Trump's racist talk and leveraging it against other kids).

I guess somehow you think that our President and VP aren't role models for our children.

I'm glad you get to sleep tonight without worrying about how your friends and family will be affected by a Trump/Pence Presidency. I sure wish I were so privileged and naive!
why am I getting -points? I said the threadstarter (the racist guy whos post is now reported and hidden) was a total moron
This is an important video.

I believe Washington and the Valley are inextricably oppositional. I don't mean because of a Trump presidency. I mean I think in a foundational way Washington is in a zero sum game with the Valley and most of us are loathe to admit it. In 100 years, one has to subsume the other.
Actually it will be easier.

I was very worried about a Clinton, but with Trump I hope for more legality and fairness in the processes. And the visa caps may get raised, so less cheap workers will flood the quotas, and more good devs will have a chance.

The Trump bashing in Europe was evil though. As they preferred to have another criminal presidency, with enough leverage on them to blackmail them on everything. As it happened with the previous ones. Media is very naive, and not even moralistic. Assholes are still better than criminals.

I'm explicitly avoiding the question of whether this is a good idea and considering only whether it's a plausible idea. In other words, predictions, not plans. I actually think a major war in the next decade is very likely, and no, I'm certainly not looking forward to it, but I'm very curious as to what it would look like if it did.

So leaving morality and emotions out of it - why does globalization seem to disproportionately benefit the coasts? I don't buy the "because the government chose and planned that explicitly" - the laws and treaties they write affect all citizens equally. Obviously there are going to be some winners and some losers, but how did it come to be that the winners are disproportionately concentrated in certain geographic locations? There's plenty of military spending and military bases that go into Montana and Wyoming, and much of it is quite high-tech (that's where the nuclear arsenal, is after all), but you haven't seen Silicon Mountain spring up. What's different?

And if we answer that, how can we replicate that in many places so that we don't see so much political blowback because a large segment of America is left out of the prosperity that globalization has brought elsewhere?
After Canada, EU, then Mexico.

But you're right I probably over stated a little bit.

Nevertheless, the trade imbalance is massively lopsided.
iTerm2 3.0's tmux integrations take a little bit of work to set up locally, but you only have to do that once, and as long as your remote servers have a reasonably recent version of tmux (1.8, I believe), just replace filippo's `mosh HOST -- tmux a` with `ssh HOST -t 'tmux -CC new -A -s main'` (no mosh required).
He never did. Those shouting to boycott him sure as hell did though.
Excellent observation.

It definitely is big cities versus rural areas rather than coast vs not coast.

It just so happens that most big cities are on or closer to the coast (or along large rivers in earlier history). It made travel and trade much easier.
Precisely. Political Correctness is now starting to work against the Left.
