This is not strictly true... I think for a lot of people, this vote represented two main issues:

1. The establishment has long been sticking up for big commercial interests with lobbyists controlling Washington, lining the pockets of the 1% at the cost of those living at or below the poverty line, who struggle to find work and put food on the table every day of their lives. Ever since Wikileaks, sentiment has been growing against this form of corruption, and then Snowden added fuel to the fire, and now this.

2. For better or for worse, Trump represents hope of jobs they can do returning to the country and a way out of the hole.

When you have to put food on the table right now, or see your hard earned cash walking out of the door every day into the pockets of the 1% while you struggle - EVERY SINGLE DAY, racism, bigotry and sexism can take a back seat to feeding your kids and keeping a roof over your head - for right or wrong.

If I were American, if I lived in America, I couldn't in good conscience have voted for Hillary. I also couldn't in good conscience have voted for racism, bigotry and sexism. But then, as someone in the software industry, I guess I'm part of the 1% and I'll always find a way to be okay.

The only way I could have voted in good conscience would have been to vote for myself - an un-nominated candidate with no platform other than try and do what's right by people... and because the electoral college is fucked, it would have been an entirely wasted vote.

This was a giant fuck you to the establishment, and on that, I resoundingly agree. But I'm also unhappy that Trump won.

With this in mind, with the fact that many have the perception that Trump cannot be bought because Trump only gives a shit about one thing - what Trump wants; and the fact that Hillary's entire platform is held afloat by big commercial interests, I think this vote was already made a long time before the election.

Figure out what's good for Trump post presidency, buy stocks in that. You'll be fine.

Of course, there's always the 25th Amendment and the CIA standing between here and there... so who knows what the future holds. Either way, I'm gonna need more popcorn.
I wonder if a parliamentary system functions as something of a safeguard against this. In a parliamentary system, a hypothetical Trump party might have been able to get a sizable number of seats, but probably not an outright majority (since many of the people who voted for him hated his guts, they just didn't think they had a better alternative), so he wouldn't be able to control the government without forming a coalition with another party that could act as a moderating influence.
…or there was a pent up demand, or there are different sorts of professionals with different needs.
I wonder if they'll introduce a "Pro+" line or something similar to cater to the real professionals. Or maybe that just doesn't make business sense at this point.
You can stop incentivising off-shoring of jobs - it's too easy for companies to close down profitable activities and move them abroad to make more profit

I want to know why Apple chose not to make the laptop waterproof

At least twice a month our 22 year old CTO, comes into our open office and starts a super soaker fight. Normally we’re pretty good about putting our machines away, but if we aren’t careful, there goes our $3K ‘investment’. It’s clear to me that the Pro in Macbook Pro no longer means Professional.

It’s clear Apple just doesn’t care about Macs anymore.

Edit: Yes, this was a joke
Nationwide, no. In those specific states, yes. It was a majority.
At the time I made the choice, I didn't know that this industry was so concentrated in only large urban areas. In fact, I was basically hearing the opposite: "tech is HUGE, those jobs will be EVERYWHERE in 10 years!" Well. It's been 20 years, and they aren't.

So, yes, I made a choice to get into software development. It wasn't an informed choice.

How about we come at it from the reverse angle: why are all those 55-person tech companies founded in Seattle? They pay more taxes. They pay more for office space and pretty much everything else. They create a longer commute for everybody by centralizing all the work. What's the problem with spreading-out a bit?

Anyway, the question was how to help blue-collar workers, and I just gave an answer that amounts to basically, "move jobs where they are".
In fact, I seem to recall that the Ron Paul rule itself helped Trump win the nomination this time around.

Given current tallies, Trump will probably lose the popular vote by over a million. And he won't break 300 in the Electoral College. This is a very, very narrow win.
If I had to guess your definition of what counts as an institution is much narrower and fairly specific to banking and international finance.

When I say institutions I mean the political institutions that support and enforce the norms liberal democracy which make the key difference between say Russia and Egypt vs the US or France as models of democracy, specifically in these cases of presidential democracies.

This scares me.

Before the ACA, no one would sell me health insurance. Several years ago, I had my gallbladder out. So whenever I'd try to buy health insurance, "pre-existing condition" would kick in, even though I'm perfectly healthy.

So, I'm scared now, to once again be a self-employed adult without access to medical care. At least I'm in pretty good health. I know a few people who rely on their health care who, if they end up getting kicked off of their insurance plans, may not live very long. That's scary to think about, too.
You're talking about a demographic who, by and large, distrust experts, scientists, educated people, and any information that doesn't agree with their biases. They chose to be this way.
I'm not commenting on the specifics of Berns and Hilary. I don't particularly like Hilary. I'm objecting to this type of argument in general.

Like, what if someone shows up and shows that Trump has had the same opinions all along? Is that a positive for him?

If the ideas are shitty, it doesn't matter how consistent or inconsistent they are. If they're good, I don't care if the person only adopted them 3 years ago, as long as they did for the right reasons, (e.g. not political expediency, I agree.)

I agree that the fact that he's held the same opinions for a long time is evidence that Berns doesn't act out of political expediency, but to me that point is far overshadowed by whether the ideas are any good.
An an actual repeal of Roe v. Wade (or Casey v. Planned Parenthood) is unlikely. It's mainly red meat for the base. To actually do it would be political suicide of the type we saw when an unpopular ACA was passed.

> you can't tout keeping the same idea for years as an unqualified good thing

If that's the critique you hear when comparing Sanders to Clinton, you're not listening very well.

To restate, Sanders didn't just tout the same idea. He's fought for the same core principles throughout his whole career, even when in the clear minority. Overtime, the rest of our culture came around to those ideas (bringing Clinton with it).

His virtue isn't his tenacity. It's his progressive thinking.
> [...] and that has not saved them from having overqualified people and too few jobs for them.

They had labour market inefficiencies and weak demand.

The US labour market is a bit more flexible. And since they are issuing their own currency, they can always print more to stoke demand. (Ideally, the Fed would target nominal GDP.)

Good news: the Germans are having a much lower unemployment rate these days than in the late 90s.
lol, go back about 8 years and try to picture reading this headline.
Dems started with a majority in both houses back in 2009-2010. Still didn't stop the GOP from filibustering and pulling out all the stops.

Yes! I'm graduating school in a month, and I've already considered this. I have a couple years of prior industry experience, though. I love the challenges, but I ultimately feel unfulfilled by writing code. It's something I can do happily for five, maybe ten years, but not for thirty-five.

So recently I've been planning to fund a creative life by saving like a college kid for a decade. The prospect's actually led to a heavy side interest into finance. There are tons of resources on early retirement and financial independence floating around, as well as other ways to create passive income. Based on my starting salary, I'll likely be able to supplement a new career within a decade.

As for what I would do, I'm looking into making music, writing books, and chemistry. Been keeping a journal of book ideas for a few months - challenged myself to write a new one every day - so that I can choose the best ones to practice writing once I get some downtime. I've been playing guitar for over ten years, and I love the production of music. It would likely be recreational, but I want the ability to produce professional quality songs. And chemistry is the moon I shoot for. It's what I've enjoyed learning most in school, so learning and understanding as much of it as I can will bring me great satisfaction.
This kind of attitude is what will bring about the extinction of mankind.
Two questions from a non-USian:

1. Can Trump deliver the results expected by the people who voted for him?

2. If he can't, what happens then? In particular, what kind of leader comes after him?
And what is your argument exactly? Because Clinton won the POPULAR vote by .1 percentage points you can trivialize and insult 50% of the country?
But consistently having to change your position is not a good sign. It's good to be able to change your mind. But it's hard to trust someone who changes a lot of their positions.
I doubt that, by consistently saying the same thing, anyone can be right for 24 years. The world changes; what is right 24 years ago may not be right today, and vice versa.
And there the working class disparagers go again, saying they know the true motivations of people like my brother. This, right here, is the willful blindness I'm talking about.

Maybe—just maybe—people like my brother viewed Hillary as Obama's third term? He doesn't particularly trust Trump; he just trusted Hillary less. If Democrats really wanted to fix ObamaCare, he reasons, they had plenty of time to do it.

If you want to lose an entire voting bloc, call them racists and question their motivations instead of listening to their frustrations. It has just been proven to work.

I don't think the OP was criticizing her lack of consistency. (S)He was criticizing her lack of being on the right side of the issues the first time (in the way that Bernie has been on many issues). It's easy to switch sides when everyone does, and nobody should criticize someone for doing that. But to many people, greatness is being on the right side of the issue before everyone else, and convincing people of its rightness.
This was actually what I thought was Clinton's best quality. I believe it's called "triangulation" and it means figuring out what compromise can be achieved in the current political circumstances and going with that rather that what you believe to be the one true right answer, if that would lead to less pragmatic progress.

Basically, "the perfect is the enemy of the good" applied to politics.

e.g. "Don't ask, don't tell" is a crappy policy compared with letting gay people serve openly, but it's an improvement on the status quo at that time which was setting up sting operations to catch out gay servicemen and throw them out of the army.

I guess I'm condoning her fighting for something she doesn't truly believe is right, as long as it's better than what's currently the case. Does that make me bad? Does it make her bad?
No, but in this case he was right and consistent. She was eventually right and not consistent.
A minority of Americans (note that Clinton is winning the popular vote) have too much power over the world. A Bush presidency destroyed the world, because people wanted to have beer with him. A Trump presidency will even do further damage because people "hated the establishment"
Agreed. Ideas are only as strong as the arguments defending them, and the problem with feminism as identity politics is that it takes a bunch of unconnected ideas and packages them in such a way that if you attack the ideas then you're attacking women. This makes it so that bad ideas and bad arguments don't get weeded out and just keep getting repeated.

For whatever barriers Clinton faced due to her gender, she also wasn't held accountable early enough for a lot of legitimately bad things that she's done, which came back to hurt her in the end.
Some might call that cutting off your nose to spite your face.
Maybe these people would rather be lied to by a con artist than to be made the punchline of every joke by every liberal blogger, pundit and late night host on a daily basis.

This election taught us that one of the parties is peddling very divisive rhetoric, and it's not the one you may think it is.
I'm German. My grandfather was a professional photographer. Pictures he shot covered the front pages of major magazines in my country. He wasn't a celebrity but he worked with several who were.

At the peak of his career he realized technology would kill the industry with the quality of amateur photography improving and technical skills becoming less important, he would often compete with people with barely any talent and be undercut on price. It was still sustainable at the time but he was sure better cameras, film and postproduction processes would kill his business.

He went back to school and became a homeopathy practitioner. My personal opinions of homeopathy aside, I have to acknowledge he was an expert at what he was doing and he was even regularly invited to give lectures. He kept doing that until the day he died, almost twenty years ago.

It's never to late to switch career paths. The bigger problem in the US seems to be that it is amazingly hard to do so unless you've built up a fortune to cover the cost of doing so.

Even someone approaching retirement age can start over and be productive if they have the chance, financial means, mental health and determination to do it.
This is simply not true. The exit polls suggest it's middle and upper middle class who primarily voted for Trump.

I'm from Sweden, and we have the same policies but basically no natural resources that are worth anything anymore. Unlike the US of A.

It's not about oil, it's about realizing that a healthy, well educated and happy population is an investment that pays itself over time.
What I find truly amazing is how people say "RIP Democracy" (not all of them), when it were the people of the US who elected Trump, didn't they?

Also that the media is totally disconnected with the ground reality, I know it is in my country, it is more in the US apparently.
I think his rhetoric is pretty hateful. I don't see how you could say it isn't, as though it's just misunderstood, when it's been a huge boon to the alt-right - which is _all_ about hate. I fear we will see more of that kind of rhetoric in the mainstream.
What are people putting up with such crazy commutes? Where do you live?

I'm not convinced by this, partly because labelling people as racist is what we've been doing and failing. And as the other commentor says, your paragraphs are contradictory.

I keep meaning to write a longer thing about this, but we're running into the politics of loyalty and belonging. That's how you get people taking pride in their racism; they've chosen who they have solidarity with, who they consider their ingroup, and if racism is part of that group deliniation they're going to shout it from the rooftops.

(Given the way group identity works through churches in parts of America, the best approach might be to keep asking people who self-describe as Christian what they think of Trump's behaviour towards women..)

You don't deserve the downvotes. This is one of the main reasons, if the not the main reason that this kind of economics is hard. You can't, in general, take the institutions from one place, apply them to another and expect the same result -- or even similar results.

Hillary wasn't threatening groups of people. Muslims, gays, transgender people, and more are actually in for a worse time in this country. It's not always about just being disgruntled.
Huh, 21.7% is a surpizingly huge portion in my book. I would have suspected a much smaller number.

One fifth is a market segment that is large enough to cater for. If you even put a small team on the task of ensuring that Linux installs on your notebooks, and make the minimal neccessary changes (like this BIOS change... or better revert of a breaking change), then you could claim Linux support as your unique selling point, and grab a huge fraction of those 20%.

Ask HN: Interviews – what is the point of whiteboard coding with perfect syntax?
I'm finding writing code on a whiteboard totally throws me and is a completely different experience to being in front of a machine. I perform spectacularly poorly, with just zero "flow". What is the point of a whiteboard coding interview? Why can't you just equally put up a large screen and an IDE?
Bug Report: Donald Trump
I really don't know if this is sarcasm or not... and I hate to be "that guy" but if your CTO comes into the office and starts spraying water around tech equipment, I think serious questions need to be asked about him being CTO.
Yeah, but... doesn't that suck for everybody? Commuting time is wasted. (Maybe on public transit, if it's not so crowded you can pull out a laptop, you can get a bit of work done.) It's American productivity going straight into the toilet.

But you're also kind of missing the point of my post, focusing on one small tree and forgetting there's a whole forest out there. Whether it's an hour, or an hour and a half, or 45 minutes isn't the point-- the point is we should optimizing it as close to zero as possible.
Does it really means that much? I think that numbers will always favor Apple when there so much choice on the other side, the diversity will make the sales number for a specific product be on the low side compared to a single product (with different variations of it, counted together).

Just like when there are headlines saying "iPhone X beats the [make][model] in sales", if you pool together all Android flagships from different makes that get released that same year then those numbers could vary significantly against Apple.
This, yes.

Surely, after last night, citing polls is the least convincing way to argue about hypothetical election outcomes.
Until the sun is obscured by vast clouds of dust as we sink into nuclear winter.

That probably won't happen, but it honestly worries me. The guy is far too unstable and vindictive for the kind of responsibility he's being handed.

If not that, then after all the talk of not accepting the election results, I'm worried he won't go quietly once his term or terms are over, or that he'll set a precedent for the next guy to work outside the system.

If it were just policy differences, no matter how deep, I wouldn't be a tenth as worried as I am.
Has anyone, um, told your CTO that water and computers don't mix?
Assume that the people funding the companies are not total idiots. So there must be good reason to fund companies in these hot cities---especially given all the down sides yous mentioned. What could they be?
While I think AirBnB deliberately skirts regulations, this is a bad ruling. Literally the same argument applies to ISPs. IE under this logic, you could say that ISPs are not forced to regulate the content in their networks, but they can't charge monthly subscriber fees to those breaking the law.
The problem, of course, is that doing that requires regulating and monitoring the subscribers (as AirBnB will have to) contrary to the claim in the ruling[1]

I expect either this will be overturned on appeal, or it will provide a path for media companies to bend ISPs and others to their will, as they've tried to for years

I don't think so; I think it proves that real professional users will work with what they're given, even if what they're given is not what they wanted or needed. We're just too good at working around issues.

That's my take on the whole debacle.
Well, hang on now, wouldn't you agree that the free market has sometimes left us stuck with cartels and monopolies? (In the US, look at the railroads and telephone network.) Sometimes you need regulations to break out of those traps.
