Can you explain how you arrive at your labels from these edited-together quotes? Here's Trump's first quote, in its entirety:

> “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

I don't see who this is racist towards. Illegal immigrants from Mexico are a pretty specific group, and do not represent a race.

> I actually would struggle to think of any prominent female who would act in the same manner of openly stating they can abuse a person such (and even to try and recant this later)

> Vengeful narcissism - Despite being cleared of any charges, he openly alludes to the imprisonment of his opposition

I don't understand how the article supports your point at all. His statements follow Comey's remark to the Senate. This kind of statement is very common. I can point to many situations off the top of my head, where people, after being cleared of charges, are still considered guilty for something and hounded by their opposition - Zimmerman, Ghomeshi, the Duke lacrosse team... I just don't see the connection to "vengeful narcissism", I think it's an understandable emotional reaction when you don't get the expected outcome of the wrongly-labeled "justice" system.

When back in India, Congress won with majority, I was flabbergasted, I mean how can people can be so retard to give vote to stupid congress ? Then I realize, Its just only me with some above average income have time to think about global warming or global harmony, most of the people plainly worried about where their next meal comes from. or at most which TV serials on air. For those people other things does not matter, until, basic necessities get solved.

Haven't read the book so I have only the vaguest idea of what that implies.

But let me be more explicit. We can have values and thoughts that don't respect success. Sometimes that may mean being made irrelevant, being killed, or even made extinct as a group. Nonetheless, until actual death occurs, we can hold those views.

To some people that is more important than anything else. I like those people. Some are successful, some are not. The universe will erase them, as it will erase us all. But to me while that thought lasts, it is valuable.

No, I figured I'd be closer to 90% efficiency. Little did I know. Also I was thinking I'd be able to bring on new clients at higher and higher rates, but it hasn't worked out that way.

Haven't spent enough time looking for new work, and whenever I get a new client it seems like my primary client suddenly has a big deluge of work that I don't want to forfeit.

There were other "life" considerations as well, but I thought the financial would be better than it is.
I really struggle to see how it's useful to an ordinary person. You maybe save a little money, sure, but for a non-1%er the risk just seems completely disproportionate. I mean any dealer/business would accept a bank transfer, right? So it only makes sense in the first place for buying a car person-to-person (and for friends/family a bank transfer would work too). Carrying 30k to meet a more-or-less stranger who knows you're going to be carrying 30k? Sheesh.
Too much chaos for nothing. New Rs 500 and Rs 2000 will be introduced. Off the book transcations will resume as usual.

You've quoted the word deplorable, yet ignored the entire point of the statement that it came from, that it's not just bigots that are supporting Trump. How does that happen?

You're on here emploring the left to pay attention to something, while (intentionally?) ignoring the fact that they did, and it got spun against them as one of their biggest gaffes of the campaign.
Your comment is incredibly condescending, which is a significant contributing factor as to why this "rural voter" got out and voted.

Perhaps rather than taking this tact (which we've seen a million times):

> Rural voters aren't smart. They vote based on feelings and ignore the stuff that actually matters (which I can identify better than they can). They're simple folks that just need simple stuff, but they're frequently tricked into voting against their interests by the other party.

You could consider something like this:

> Rural voters have different values than mine. My perception of their intelligence is irrelevant because I know there are intelligent people who share their views. Maybe if their viewpoints were taken seriously instead of dismissed outright as sexist and xenophobic, we could win their votes (or at least not cause such high turnout for the opponent) next time around.

Realize that Republicans can identify demographics that frequently vote for Democrats the same way. Take that first paragraph above and sub in "black people," "hispanics," and "women." See how incredibly offensive it is now? That's how "rural voters" feel when you post things like this.

Ask HN: How do we solve rising anti-intellectualism?
The US election unfolded much the same way as Brexit did in the UK. Campaigns based on outright lies and misinformation swayed a voting population to cast ballots essentially against their own interests. To pick two choice statistics: North Wales, which has some of the highest poverty rates in Europe and has received billions in funding from the EU voted to leave. 52% of women in the US general election voted for an essentially out-and-proud misogynist. While the majority electorate in both countries is clearly hard-up, with the benefits of globalisation are not being distributed fairly, this disenfranchisement has been capitalised upon not by politicians offering real solutions, but by demagogues appealing to xenophobia and hate.

At the root of all of this is an undercurrent of anti-elitism and anti-intellectualism that has been whipped up by the campaigns. The elites are the ones who screwed over the system, the intellectuals disconnected from the reality. While there's a grain of truth in this, people like Donald Trump and Nigel Farage have not turned their countries' fortunes for the better, by any reasonable metric, and both of them hail from exactly this class in the first place. The sad reality is that almost everyone is under pressure, but some people don't have the capacity to reason about the real reasons as to why that might be, and can be led down a path of hatred.

Armed with a time machine, we might turn back the clock - invest more in education, regulations around campaigns, and measures to spread profits more evenly. I don't know. But we're in the situation where we have an electorate that is disturbingly disconnected from factual reality, unable to make rational decisions about what's in their best interests, which is a very dangerous situation for a country (let alone a global superpower) to be in.

We can't just give up though, is there something that we, our friends and networks can do to try and reverse this trend?
It's absolutely essential that the medium of public communication not be controlled by a small group of people.

Twitter doesn't meet that standard.
I only got to #12 before I had to give up reading this article. Everything is so dripping with marketing speak that it's completely useless. I have no idea from the descriptions provided what Meshwork, Essensys, or Cowork.io are. At best, the descriptions provide a use case, but in no way do they define the tool you're using.

An example phrase "engage their members and facilitate introductions between them" could refer to a targeted email campaign software, a forum software, CRM software, etc. It doesn't in any way allow me to visualize what it looks like or where it fits into the puzzle.

While I applaud that companies are now "focusing on the solutions", that focus should also include being upfront and direct about what it is you're offering, not just the supposed problems you solve.
Had this really been about inequality, would the winner be the rich guy with the gold-plated everything, whose tax policies favoured the richest? I think it was more straight-up xenophobia.

I would've thought that black and Hispanic people in the US were strongly represented on the "wrong" side of the inequality ledger? Yet the vote had strong divides on race, and those people did not back the winner.
This ignores the many white men for whom there is no economic hope, because their towns and regions are dying. Many of these white men are living off of disability because their jobs left and aren't going to be coming back. Many are addicted to pain killers and other drugs to help distract them from the reality of their situation. That is an existence without much hope, a slow, depressive sinking into despair.

With that in mind, I think you can imagine why the drum telling them about how privileged they are and have no right to complain might inspire more than a little anger.

Have the same empathy towards poor white men as you would to anyone else, and encourage your friends to, for everyone's sake.

That doesn't mean everyone who supported him is racist and sexist, just that they have other concerns. As hard as it might be to understand there are people who think there are most important issues than the fact Trump is racist and sexist, even if they're still aware and disgusted by that fact. This election has been one of the most divisive ever and the rhetoric of "all Trump supports are racist and sexist" has only made that worse.

After a cursory glance (it's a long list) I don't think any of the organisations strike me as particularly left wing, certainly not in the traditional economic sense.
Good thoughtful move. Indian Govt should follow it up by legalising betting next. It is the right time to do it.
It has not benefitted people outside developed country either. People are being exploited in mines of africa, in factories in asia (look at the textile industry or high tech)...

Ask HN: What will happen to Obama's recently introduced “startup visa”?
Back in August, the Obama administration introduced a plan for a new "International Entrepreneur Rule", which is basically a temporary immigration permit for startup entrepreneurs.

Previous discussion:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12367071

The rule hasn't even gone into effect yet. But as it is an Obama executive order concerning immigration, it is high on President Trump's kill list (if we take him to his word that he's going to annul all of Obama's executive orders in his first day in office)...

Do you see any chance of this rule surviving under a Trump administration?
He was suggesting that Megyn Kelly was asking him though questions and that the reason for this was that she is on her period. There is a very subtle but important difference.

He attacked her for asking supposedly though questions, not for being on her period. First was the reason of his attack. Latter was the means of his attack.
Now Trump is president, demand his Tax Records as he promised
The "Donald" had a lot of promises.

One was that he released his tax records ( he is the only one that hasn't so far) for the public, after the election.

yeah, they don't look to have support for the graphics drivers like parallels does, but for some older games that just need a lightweight Windows VM to run on, it'd be fine. If it gets more active development, I'm sure it can grow, but the idea seems to be using macOS's native hypervisor function instead.
I lived in Prague for a short while as a digital nomad. It's a great city and I'm considering coming back more long-term and buying property there. Not only is the economy great, but it's a very walkable city with fantastic public transportation and is generally very clean. All of this was helpful in making each day I woke up a happy day, something that's hard to capture and definitely not the norm for most cities in the world.

So if you do get your remote work job, this is another +1 for Prague being amazing.
I think you're being unfair to the people voting for Trump. Yes, some of them are racist bigots (like white supremacists groups), however Trump struck a cord with rural USA. I doubt all are racists bigots, they just have different life style, and try to defend it from further deterioration.

This Cracked podcast[1] really opened my eyes to some issues rural America faces each day. It's not that they hate Hillary, but Hillary both tells them that everything is fine, and for them things aren't fine. They see no jobs and Walmart just waltzes in and ruins small shops, sucking the money out of the rural parts.

So, if Hilary tells them America is doing fine and we need more X, it poisons both messages. Which makes some sense from that perspective. If she's lying about America doing fine, then she is lying about X being good for country as well.

To be fair, Merkel's policies are fairly centrist compared to the usual CDU/CSU rhetoric and ever since the WASG split the SPD has been more center than left, too.

Merkel is also relatively popular with many non-CDU/CSU voters because her policies all in all have been very moderate. She's generally perceived as very static despite having had to deal with the economic crisis, the refugee situation and now Brexit.

The rise of the AfD is largely a result of conservatives (who probably would have voted CDU/CSU otherwise) being upset with Merkel's handling of the refugee situation. The far left still hates her because she's a conservative, the far right hates her because she's too liberal. She's in the sweet spot where her policies are just balanced enough nobody can propose any sane alternatives that don't sound like almost exactly what she's been doing and any criticism either sounds petty or hyperbolic.

The problem for the SPD is that they alienated their leftist demographic under Schröder (leading to the rise in popularity of the Linke) and later with the coalition government aside the CDU/CSU. Aside from traditional party loyalists they're now directly competing with the CDU/CSU for conservative voters.

The only thing that concerns me is that the CSU is taking a lesson from the revival of the AfD (which was pretty much doomed to fail when the Euro crisis waned but was rekindled by the refugee situation) and is now spouting even more populist xenophobic rhetoric than usual. Considering how much disproportionate influence the CSU traditionally holds in the Union, this might spell trouble for the CDU internally.

As an anecdote: I would never have voted for the CDU (I've previously voted for Linke and the Pirate Party) but unless one of the other parties surprises me with a great candidate, I would probably vote to re-elect Merkel.
Yes, I agree completely with what you say. It is my impression that picking a fight against Trump by someone like Hillary is a poor choice. There is no way of beating him in its own ground, so Hillary was a poor choice. Someone like Bernie Sanders would have been a good rival because he is not involved (as far as we know) in dirty secrets or messy politics.

I got in touch with an incubator and a prominent immigration law firm last week. The incubator told me they are no longer associated with the Startup Visa program, and the law firm told me that most VC and incubators have withdrawn.

Very few visas have been issued, but I don't know if that is owing to high rejections, or just low applications.

Polls predicted a Clinton victory. I'm not sure polls are a good argument.
I agree that this is probably what happened at an emotional level, but a vote for Trump is still a vote that is enabling a Republican congress. That matters much more for the economic outcomes of people in the US than what Trump himself will be up to.

So voting for Trump is still fundamentally irrational from an economic perspective if you're poor or lower middle class: it's possible that Trump will block part of the Republican agenda (e.g. on healthcare) -- who the hell knows what the guy is really thinking apart from his selfishness and thin-skinned narcissism -- but with Clinton it would have been guaranteed. And surely more of the same is better than change in the wrong direction?

And yes, it's also possible that Republicans in congress will suddenly change their tune on healthcare, come up with budgets where the spoils aren't overwhelmingly going to the rich, and so on. But really, how rational is it for voters to bet on that given those politicians' past behaviour?

> Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania were parts of Russia for 300 years with small omissions. It is longer than the time of existence of the United States.

Probably the only thing this tells us is that the US is a very young nation. 300 years is a blip compared to how long European peoples have been around.
I've gotten a pavlovian response to "good things", where I start imagining it already breaking down.

Like Obamas presidency. For every good he's done or tried to do, all the shit in the world that affects the US (and even things that are not real apparently) gets pinned on him, regardless of cause.

And sure, Obamacare probably has a lot of faults, but is that because of its concept, because of congressional gridlock, or compromises?

I won't argue either way, but it's always sad when something gets dismantled or at least scolded for reasons outside of its grasp.

I don't know enough about NHS to say, but spending £600M/year on management consultants doesn't sound like a healthcare problem.

I'm not religious, but it's the same with Islam being lumped together with extremists, Christianity being lumped in with crusades and westboro baptists and other lunatics, and both republicans and liberals being categorized by a few vocal idiots.

Sometimes you have to try to look objectively at something and the faults alongside it, and try to determine if they are one and the same. Sometimes it's worth fighting to improve something instead of just burning it to the ground, because there's a good chance the new foundation being built is worse than what you destroyed.
