Of course it's subjective. If you want an objective measure, how about saying: a candidate who was worse than Romney and McCain, based on the absolute number of voters and the percentage of eligible voters that he ended up winning.

I don't see how a lack of enthusiasm conflicts with the facts. Voter turnout was way down. Democrats won way fewer votes than the last two times around, to the point that they lost the election even though their opponent also did worse than before.
Yeah, anyone who rejects jQuery in ie8 legacy rejects has screws loose, or a massive ego problem.
That's a mere dismissal. What's the best science we have today? Much of what I saw showed there was a point of no return. Some of it thought we passed it. All of them were clear humanity would have to massively work together to sacrifice most of the CO2 and methane-producing stuff they love to turn it around. Stuff that so much of the economy and politicians' elections depend on.

The evidence I've seen is solidly in the "we're screwed no matter what a few companies or countries do" territory.
Stunned by Trump, The New York Times Finds Time for Some Soul-Searching
When I have debates about encryption and surveillance, CP & terrorism are arguments that are difficult to address. I think this solves a part of the problem.
Up to now, any Apple laptop could use any power adapter. I regularly plug my 2012 MacBook Air into the brick for my 2008 MacBook Pro. I will be VERY surprised if that is not the case anymore.

Probably the main reason to build different bricks is so that the smaller lighter laptop also has a smaller lighter brick.
So the secure one-way hash (protecting the secret ballot) is smudging the timestamp. Hmmm. I'll ponder this.

I really do consider these ideas. Both to see if there's a way to make them them work within existing election administration laws, rules, and procedures, as well as to see if there's some future perfect system that might work (even if we have to change how we run elections)
Still rocking jQuery whenever I can. It can grow into an unmaintainable mess, sure, but it doesn't have to.

First time I saw jQuery: Crazy easy and widely compatible, Ajax, selectors and animation - sold!

First time I saw React: Split your UI into components, write them in JavaScript (with optionally mixed in markup to make it more tolerable) - Hmm O…K….

Managing UI state can be complicated, but to me, not enough to justify the amount of complexity and abstraction added by React.
If you organize your code so that only a single function can act on a specific block and emulate OO/namespaces in CSS, instead of attaching functionality to every click and overwriting stuff with !important, you'll be fine. It's not that hard, but maybe that's just me.

It's nice that the Virtual DOM is really fast (even thought I don't usually need that much speed) and that I can render it on the server (even though you can probably kiss your semantic markup good bye) and one way data binding seems a good idea, but again, I don't think it's a problem I have.
One of the things MS announced recently was differential updates, so essential updates like this will be a lot smaller and take a lot less time. I still think they shouldn't force them on us though.

It's so embedded in our Constitutional order, the great compromise that made it possible in the first place, the 2 Senators per state, and the 2 extra Electoral College votes each state gets, that it's not really "a huge complaint for ages", unless, of course, it's your side that lost. It's happened, what, 4 times now?

Note also that at least in this election the unofficial margin (at least per the AP, which hasn't called Michigan and New Hampshire yet) is rather small, and one also has to count 3rd parties.

Putting the shoe on the other foot, what do you have to say about both of Bill Clinton's elections, where Perot resulted in more people voting against than for him. For that matter, just checking now (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_ele...), every third party candidate but the Constitutional party's, and independent Evan McMullin, earned more votes than the margin between Hillary and Trump. So it's really hard when you look at those non-major party vote total to say that in any way she won the popular vote, especially if you claim this didn't matter for her husband in the '90s.
Do you have any reason to suggest that it isn't?
It's not just because we "know and love" Python2. We also have immense legacy Python2 codebases that it would be time-consuming and risky to upgrade to Python3.

And we have other business priorities we have to pursue. As long as Python2 is viable. Which it still is and probably will be for quite a while. (Even once official support for it is dropped, there will undoubtedly be large enterprises that rely on it and will continue to maintain forks.)
To an extent, I agree. And wouldn't it be great if people understood the President should have a much more limited role than they expect now? The Affordable Care Act being called "Obamacare" shows the way presidents establish all kinds of policy. He's put executive actions on immigration, power generation, and more.

If only pepole expected the Legislature to do that, then we wouldn't be in a position of worrying that Trump will undo almost every policy achievement of Obama's.

It will suck to go backwards in climate agreements.
Clojure in the UK: Puppet

Actually your view and intent also do what a controller would do. The DOM is your actual view, and your data your actual model.

I really like this post. So much NLP research is 'locked away' in academic papers, and making the knowledge more accessible through posts like this is very important for large-scale adoption by non-academics.

Also, really well done on the site design. Love the graphics, font, layout and 'progress bar' animation at the top. Very nice UX overall.

Indeed, would definitely be cool to be able to export a specific machine config to a tarball that can be imported on another machine. I don't work on machine, but anyone made a proposal for this (probably with warnings about copying ssh keys and such)?

I know this doesn't help with your current issue on docker-machine, but...
I think the issue here is docker-machine's primary intent is as a developer tool to spin up dev environments quickly and easily (zero-to-docker as we say), as such the datastore and security model is tailored to this.

I think that's the epic.
Even assuming he does appoint such a judge. The open seat right now was held by Antonin Scalia who was on the dissenting side of the Obergefell v. Hodges case. So it wouldn't changed the out come for that issue on the court.

Even if he got the opportunity to appoint a judge to replace one of the democratic appointments it would be very unlikely that the same sex marriage decision would ever be over turned. Roe v. Wade wasn't over turned despite the supreme court having a majority of Republican appointees for a long period between the original decision and present day.

Is Trump indifferent to LGBT issues? probably. But I just don't see much factual basis for the hysteria surrounding his election. If you believe the news, people are acting like he is going to round them up and put them in concentration camps or something. It just isn't reality.
I understand this, but if you let them do it in this case, nothing will stop them from doing the same in other cases. The law applies to anyone: if this content is banned, you aren't allowed to use it as bait either.
I would humbly challenge your opening sentences. Right and wrong are constructs of judgement created in the human mind. So while I agree that people should stand for their beliefs I completely disagree that you have any moral authority to tell people they are wrong or stupid. I believe in a free market of ideas protected by the freedom of speech and mutual respect. I also believe that if you want to change someone's point of view you should do so with facts and reason. If your goal is to change someone's thinking outright rejection of their beliefs on the basis of biased judgement and name calling will not achieve your goal and will most likely close that person's mind.
they're not asking for the gov't to provide answers - they're asking for reduced taxes, reduced red tape, something about breaking up banks that i don't totally understand, and assurance that their guns are safe (i'm sure i'm missing a lot, but it's that sort of stuff). of my perhaps 12 non-liberal friends here, 4 have started businesses (including one that is pretty innovative). none of them went to more than a year of college, none started with well to do parents, they're making solid money by ohio standards, and employing 15 people in total. not sure if they're an anomaly, but the belief is widespread that if the govt loosens the shackles, new small businesses will blossom

i'm not interested in arguing about whether that belief is well founded or self-consistent, or whether their vision of a hands-off gov't is sustainable (i'd argue that neither is sound, but they're not so obviously wrong as to be equivalent to asking for a handout)
Nice! Just started a project myself http://quantumsheep.herokuapp.com/
I am no fan of the Clintons. Personally, during my lifetime, Obama is the only president I halfway respected, with his stance on state surveillance being a notable exception. I think there is a small amount of corruption with Hillary, as I believe is true of most politicians. However, given a choice between Hillary and Trump, for me it's no contest.

Don't get me wrong, I think Trump has the potential to do some good. I am still unsure how much of his campaign he actually believes or intends to do. Term limits, I think, are probably a good thing, though also probably a long shot. If he keeps his word on not being able to be bought, that will be good. More non-professional politicians in government is probably a good thing in general.

That said, because of Trump you can almost certainly kiss goodbye: climate/renewable energy science, net neutrality, Roe v. Wade, higher minimum wage, etc. You can bet that soon the official language/religion of the US will be English and Christianity respectively. Nuclear weapons will almost certainly go back into production and military spending in general will skyrocket, while education funding continues to shrink.

It would take a hell of a lot of corruption from Hillary to get me to vote for any of that.

Yes that s what i m saying facebook has no business to censor people.
Hilary lacked appeal. If she wasn't the husband of Bill Clinton I don't think she would even be in politics.

She's been trying to be the Democratic nominee for decades, there was a reason she lost every time until now...and her opponent was openly socialist.
That's called entrapment and is generally illegal, no?

> Several of Trump's corporations have been bankrupt 4 times...

FTFY.

> relies heavily on debt to finance his real estate ventures

Real estate has high start-up costs but holds lots of value. Debt is the perfect vehicle to finance real estate, ever wonder why most people take out mortgages to buy homes, but give up equity to fund tech start-ups? You use the investment vehicle that makes sense for the type of business.

> It's well documented that he took on hundreds of millions of debt in the form of "junk bonds" (so called because of the high risk of default and the resulting high interest rate - 14%) in order to pay for his casinos in Atlantic city, for example.

Of course, casinos are high risk. Bond rates depend on risk. Also, most business debt requires a higher rate than say, sovereign debt.

> it appears at least one of his properties in NY has been modestly successful in recent years - but that property had well below $5 million in profit in 2014 and was losing money before that.

And? With real estate you don't need profit, you just need to build equity.

Tl;dr: Real estate isn't like other businesses, it has its own set of rules, accounting and financial practices, etc... Just like tech companies are different from factories which are different from restaurants, real estate is (gasp) different...

What power? Surely if he did that the woman could call the cops on him and make a massive media shitstorm. You actually believe he goes around assaulting women?
I don't think that's a good comparison. The vast majority of Muslims don't support terrorist organisations. That's why guilt by association, as pushed by people like Trump, is so harmful here.
That's the first-level analysis. Let's dig deeper...

Why would one believe a so-called "protectionist" who has actually off-shored jobs?

Why would one believe a billionaire who claims to not be part of the establishment? A billionaire who was a celebrated part of the establishment during the '80s, in New York. That den of conservative values?

Why would one trust a candidate who was essentially a left-leaning Democrat until he decided to run for President?

Why would one believe a candidate who contradicts himself, is difficult to pin down on any policy details, and who says different things to different groups to a degree that's unprecedented, even for a politician?

Anybody can say anything. If you believe someone this erratic, you almost have to be wilfully ignorant of human nature.

In my view non-locality manifests with wrappers when you call wrapper function, which in turn calls wrappee (how do you call it?), which throws/excepts/whatevers but the wrapper does not catch it or merely logs and rethrows it: now you get return from wrappee directly to the caller. Or in other words: "Exceptions can take you anywhere".

This is a huge problem with wrappers in general that signature of wrappee becomes part of wrapper signature. Since exceptions are part of function signature they make the problem worse. And since most if not all languages do not enforce exceptions in signature there is literally no way to know what will be thrown if runtime polymorphism is used. Which results in situations where querying REST endpoint written in a language we all love to hate returns trace in the body, ooops :)

Yes Dems are not communism at all. I am talking about Progressives and Bernie ppl. The next primaries will see if this faction takes over.

I'm not sure, but I like the idea of basic income.

> backroom hand counting by party insiders where the only metric to try to avoid corruption is to have two parties counting at the same time.

The reason this builds trust is that it is adversarial. Each party has huge incentive to find fraud or mistakes by the other. If they both agree that a result is valid, we can trust it's valid, because neither side gains anything by lying about that.

This is the same reason our system of criminal justice is adversarial.

A computer cannot replicate that, no matter how good the code. And it seems impossible to build a computer system that is completely trusted; for one thing the halting problem seems to imply that we can never fully predict all outputs of a given piece of code; for another:

> The problem is that the police gives the opposite party or at least their lawyer the full address of the victim - and these addresses tend to be aggregated and leaked on fascist blogs.

Except her name is on Twitter, the full name. It is not that hard to find the address.

Let's be frank do you honestly think campus police at this university are compiling lists of leftist people to give to their "fascist" friends? And that is the reason she did not want to file a police report? Somehow you jumped over the simplest explanation - that she lied, straight to "campus police are a fascists who compile lists of people".
You can definitely judge him for supporting the campaign.

But do you judge him even more for pitching in after the election? As an admirer of Thiel and... the opposite of Trump, I find the whole thing confusing, but I'm definitely glad to have a sharp voice outside the Christie/Gingrich/Guiliani-axis involved.

Thiel is not some random rich fat cat who buys an ambassadorship. He's an extremely capable and accomplished man, and to me it looks like he's the one doing Trump a favor, not the other way around.

I realize reasonable people can differ on that part :)
Assuming 60% voter turnout (55-60% based on tallies at the time I wrote that, so 60% is the most optimistic/generous view). With 47.5% of that 60%, that puts him at around 28.5% of all potential voters voting for him. Near enough to 30% for my back of the envelope calculations. I did neglect the third-party candidates' percentages when I made that estimate, though.
You are giving somewhat of an operational definition which I think comes closer to the truth.
I think the point is they shouldn't suffer the guilt, not that they won't.

So they seized an onion hosting provider that had 23 cp sites, they ran those sites for a few weeks, then shut them down.

Again, I cite Hillary labeling me and mine as "irredeemable"; absolutely nothing has made me more "angry"† than that in all the Presidential elections since I came of political age in time for the 1972 Nixon vs. McGovern one.

†"angry" is an entirely insufficient word for this.

Hi prairiedogg,
Well this thread is basically nitpicking each other. Let me tell you one thing. If you are a citizen of USA, you could run for president and be one as long as you are win a majority in a majority of states. Now, if you are interested in politics you, like me, would be following political decisions from a variety of sources and try to analyze it(see if its truth and try to understand if its fair to the citizens and such). You don't have to necessarily be a traditional politician/statesman(sad thing is most traditional politicians only cares about themselves and is more interested in coming across as having done something. Ideally they would do nothing and just get credit for doing all the good).
My argument is you are as good as any statesman so long as you have a working brain. Be rational, have a willingness to find a solution for general problems faced by having conversation affected and actually do what is necessary to correct it. Make a level playing field for everyone so that everyone can actually live a good life instead of letting greed run amok. I do not like career politicians who are in politics just so in hopes of wielding power than to actually use it responsibly, but no, most "statesman" have no willings to study problems and find solutions, and pays a lobbyist to find a solution who has no incentives to come up with even a remotely correct solution. They do that because people are not paying much attention to what they do and they get away with it as injustices done to them would be mostly forgotten/drowned within a week in all the noise.
Mike Rowe – Reaction to election
Reality just does not care what people think.

Humanity has many systems of tricking people to do various things harming their own self interest, but saying what people believe has any inherent value is a huge mistake. Trump getting elected is going to kill many (though hopefully a small percentage) of his supporters, but many of them don't see a problem with this.

Trying to be a hero running into a hail of bullets it stupid. But, hundreds of millions of young men have repeatedly done so. Watching a war movie most people cheer such stupidity on as a good thing continuing this cycle.

PS: Many people hate this but even a single counter example absolutely disproves what you say. Yet, convicting people to believe lies has long had value to a great many people, so pointing this out is generally a waste of time. People even react negatively to the truth note all the down votes for polite on topic responses.
Chimpanzees are at ~98%, mice are at about 97% similarity [1]. Where do you draw the line? Genetic similarity is imho a poor measure. The capability of suffering is more difficult to assess, but more useful. I'm reasonably sure that the animals we eat can suffer sufficiently to make the way we raise and kill them problematic.

Perhaps that's looking at the number of eligible voters, rather than a percentage of actual votes cast.

I just grabbed the first website in the search results that had numbers, which are based on projections. I'm not standing behind their accuracy (I don't even recognize the site), but I have no reason to suspect they'd be purposefully wrong. And we're talking ballpark figures anyway.
