The most apt analysis I've read was that from a historical standpoint Clinton was trying to do something even very strong candidates have trouble doing - keeping a party three terms in a row for the White House. There's only one president that's done it to date and it was George Bush, Sr following Reagan. It implies that Americans' desire for party change may be among the strongest of predictors. On the other hand, this party streak breaking is completely irrelevant for any other elected branch of the government as seen by the unending cycle of easy defense for incumbents in office.
It looks like Clinton has won the majority of votes: http://www.nytimes.com/elections/forecast/president

The USA electoral system is really crazy.
> Since the GOP now holds both Congress and the Presidency, with a likelihood of continued Supreme Court majority, they may enact some protectionist policies to appease the voters.

That would ignite a civil war in the Republican party between the populists and the upper-class free-trade establishment, and while the populists have a good chance of winning, it's not a done deal.

> Could the backlash spill to the technology and related sectors as well (e.g. a neo-Luddite movement might get started)?

Unlikely, since anyone who gives up technology will be at a severe competitive disadvantage and screw themselves over.
Cleaning up includes things like unplugging lamps and moving the cords. It includes taking all chairs off the floor and putting them on the table. It requires adding special devices to the floor to add barriers b/c the roomba has absolutely no learning capabilities. It includes removing rugs b/c the roomba gets stuck on them. I could go on. It's just a poor product. These things might be known issues, but when all of this is factored in, it really isn't a good solution for anything but gymnasiums and dance floors. If you have any stuff whatsoever, it takes more time and effort than a traditional vacuum.
Don't know why you're being downvoted- there has always been a bubble where you're too rich to get help, too poor to afford all the responsibilities you currently have. These are the people who voted Trump- they think they don't need the government to help them, they just need the government to stop hurting them.
HN is still made in arc, right? Does arc support threads? Racket does, so I would assume arc does.
alistproducer2 thanks for suggestion - we're thinking about reffering to it as "area or aspect of life".
It was a competitive game for Trump. Election campaign was one stage (that required being aggressive). Actually running a country is another stage, so he is using a different tactic (cooperation with other politicians).

Yes, you're a racist because you extrapolated your interpretation of the behaviour of a handful of people (i.e. those who sued Trump and are black) to an entire race.
Clearly, it depends on the architecture used. From what dang says, it seems like HN renders every single page view dynamically if you are logged in. I guess that has something to do with the voting mechanism; I would have thought that could be handled client-side instead.

Either way, it's not just down to the number of comments on a thread, as you imply, clearly the number of requests for that page plays a part. I'm guessing HN has been getting a huge amount of traffic, probably way more than your laptop could serve dynamic pages at.
Well first, the DNC needs to stop sucking up to Wall Street and Silicon Valley elites. They should've gone with Sanders and stop tipping the scales for the Clintonistas just because they got connections with the elites. Hillary had her shot in 2008 and that should've been that. So they need to pull left...HARD. No more limousine liberalism.

As for the RNC, they really really really really need to stop propping up the evangelical vote. Mike Pence and his ilk need to stop forcing their faith onto the rest of us (who still support things like gay marriage) have decided on a decade ago. Gay marriage is here to stay. Us "trannies" are gonna use the restroom that best fits our gender identity (man, woman, neutral, whatever). And the RNC really needs to stand by the promise of standing up for the Rust Belt workers. It doesn't have to be some protectionist claptrap that Trump spewed but something practical and reasonable. Especially something that'll pay for the healthcare that's sorely needed not only for the poor but the elderly who voted for them (whether they like it or not many of those folks won't be able to pay for their insulin, heart bypass surgeries, and the like from their 401ks).

Sorry for the crude language. I'm just annoyed by what I've seen in social media from liberals and conservatives on this. It's time for real change and not the smoke and mirrors they've been playing since Bill Clinton.
Until most communities naturally dissolve into "subreddit"-esque groups where users share similar views to enjoy validation and avoid being downvoted. Explicitly encouraging opposing viewpoints may help alleviate this problem.
I'm very disappointed that the other thread was effectively buried. I kept looking on the first few pages and only clicked on this one by chance. Please spin up more resources? This is a major topic that will affect a huge number of people.
I'm also a Trump supporter, and this post largely echoes my reasoning.

>I refuse to believe that close to half of this country hates people of color

It's been confirmed that many pro Obama counties have turned pro Trump this election cycle. Clearly not racists.
There's nothing to forgive, and it's not like I hold grudges. Had I a vote in this election, it would have gone to Clinton (even though I don't particularly like her).

I get it. I get the disgust, the moral outrage, I get and even agree with most of it. But you're only hurting yourself by refusing to hear people out. And you're hurting your entire democratic system by putting people in two baskets. A system that's already really poorly designed (for the citizens, that is - it's great at keeping people in power).

How would you like it if I put the world in two buckets: "Americans" and "Non-americans", and said that obviously all americans love and agree with trump since they voted for him? Do you think that'd be productive, useful or right in any way?

Hear people out. Understand their issues. When there's bigotry, try to figure out where it's coming from.

Well, there's a lower bound of around 50 million trump supporters in the US based on last night's election results...
That's just semantics. Are you refuting that there was a large population of people in swing states that voted contrary to polling and forecasts?
Found an "if (true or false) { ... }" in a PHP project my team is maintaining. It was from before we took over the project so we don't know where it comes from.
Well, let's see what happens in the next four years. I hope you're right.

One potential danger is that Trump will now be indirectly in charge of the entire country's mass surveillance apparatus. That's a powerful system that could be potentially be weaponized against sections of the population that Trump deems undesirable.

> curbing immigration is an actual solution to the problem.

Curbing immigration won't be a solution to the problem; it's just a highly visible one. Each immigrant that is looking for a job in the US is taking one away from the supply for an American. That is how the Trumpistas see things.

Economically, sure, that's true. The immigrants take jobs from the labor supply. What people don't see is that aside from ones on skilled visa programs is that these jobs are either 1. underpaid by minimum wage or 2. not jobs that these people actually want anyway, so at worse you will see a lot of inflation, or a lot of open job positions. It doesn't make sense, but it won't really make sense.
It varies from person to person. Probably one of the biggest ones is the Obama administration's unwillingness to use the label "Radical Islamic Terror." I understand the argument that it emboldens our enemies and doesn't help us get allies, but it's difficult to have a lot of faith in the problem being solved when the ones in charge can't even state it.

Another I'd probably say is the ambiguity you see on the left when it comes to accepting others' cultures and values on one hand, but not feeling comfortable admonishing certain cultures for a lack of women's rights, their treatment of apostates of Islam, etc. If you're unwilling to take a stand about it being objectively wrong that certain cultures celebrate burning gays at the stake, it's unlikely you're fairly assessing those cultures. Which allies are we choosing? What cultures are we supporting?

The redefining of words is a big one for me. Global climate change, sustainability, social justice, even rape. When you take things you like or don't like and broaden their definitions to the point where they're universally agreeable / hated, it gives the appearance that you're trying to trick people into your point of view rather than actually win them over. Ten years ago, these words meant different things. Of course the climate is changing. It always has. But now, if you're an opponent of the left on the issue, you're "against global climate change," which isn't accurate--it's just the term has been redefined. It makes it tougher to discuss and come up with actual solutions when people's views are being arbitrarily grouped into inaccurate terms. Nobody likes rape, but that doesn't mean anyone having sex without a notorized consent form should fear being called a rapist. Yet it's not politically correct to stand up for anyone on the spectrum, so the problem remains unresolved.

Also, we tire of conclusions being reached about diversity in certain areas based on the assumption that all races are 100% the same, full stop. Somehow we can look at the racial makeup of the NBA or NFL and see no issues, yet in many other places, if different races are represented at different proportions than the general public, it's immediately deemed to be the result of racism. It's not politically correct to say, "Maybe X race/culture has different values or other factors that result in a disproportionate representation in this industry / organization / club." Many of us are totally open to the idea that we (subconsciously) contribute some to it and that white privilege is a real thing that calls for some adjustment, but the unwillingness to accept that some things might not be our fault (due to political correctness) can be tiring and lead to bad decisions.

Does that help?
> at the expense of talking about why she should be president.

Hillary couldn't make that argument because it would've drawn more attention to her most damning flaw: The fact that she's a textbook demagogue who was on the wrong side of every progressive issue until she found it politically expedient to "evolve".

That's why so many people were so passionate about Sanders. You could go back to C-SPAN videos from 1992 and hear him saying the exact same things he said throughout the whole primary season.

That is true. Trump's unstable personality could be a stabilizing force if the world is afraid of what he might do.
As an outsider...what the hell did you guys just do?

There are many, many reasons for Trump's election. Maybe it's time to rethink a bit about how you guys do politics?[0]

Distrust of the establishment (of which HRC was the perfect embodiment).
Jobs which have disappeared forever which were promised to be brought back. And as software developers for a lot of us here, maybe it is time to get more of us to think about the consequences of our work.
Clear populism from Trump, always an easy way to get votes, and not just from the less educated.
Enough disinterest from the american public in politics that a /pol/ meme ends up being elected.
DNC primaries that were a joke, where HRC was selected against many odds.
Candidates that campaigned not for themselves but against Trump while he just reaps free publicity.

I'm just... speechless. With the amount of power he's going to have as POTUS + SCOTUS nominations + House/Senate majority, the potential for a massive step back is insane. Roe vs Wade, ACA. Not to even mention the issue of dropping the Paris/COP21 agreements. The one small hope we had for the future just got destroyed. That's the second time you do that America please stop ;_;

Forget about technical feasibility for a moment, people who are falling for this do not understand the basic concept of currency. The manufacturing cost of a note cannot be higher than the face value of the note. Else the currency press would be in a loss for every note printed and eventually would need to be shut down (this has happened before).

This is the reason why low value notes eventually end up as coins which are cheaper to manufacture.

Embedding an electronic tracker into a Rs. 500 or even a Rs. 2000 note would cost more than those amounts unless the Indian Government decides to outsource the currency printing to some place like China!
That Trump has misled them is obvious, but not because of any policy he may have suggested, but because he is too preoccupied with tweets, self-portraits, marking stuff with his name, gilded chairs and boobs to effectively enact any policy; it is reported that he is unable to read even short texts or engage in a conversation that isn't about him for more than ten minutes, for god's sake (although I am not yet sure if I'll be horrified or pleasantly surprised if he proves me wrong). But as to global trade, I don't understand your point. What, is there one god-given, "natural" policy and no other? I'd like to believe that societies can shape the economy -- if not fully, then at least in part -- to serve their chosen goals, rather than just serve it.
US median individual wage is $39K/yr for males and $26.5K/yr for females [1]. That amounts to an after-total-tax (for a California resident) of $28K/yr for males and $19K/yr for females.

Average rent ranges from $500-$3600/mth though for illustrative purposes (taking into account people in expensive places share) let's use $1K/mth for our hypothetical person. [3]

That leaves you with $16K/yr (male) and $7K/yr (female) for food, transportation and incidental expenses.

Obamacare backed health plans have a maximum out-of-pocket of $7K/yr for individuals.

Yeah, I'd say the median American is pretty much SOL if they get sick even if they have insurance. And those figures don't take into account the price of the insurance itself if your employer elects not to provide it to you.

In the UK your NHS annual out-of-pocket maximum is $0.

That's ridiculous.

I moved to Germany from Canada a few years ago when I was in my mid-20s. Nothing wrong with Canada, I was just bored.

I came to Germany on a tourist visa and found a job by sending my CV to random German technology companies I found via LinkedIn.

The Blue Card (EU equivalent of a Green Card) cost all of 135 EUR and is valid for four years. The processing time for the Blue Card is around 6 weeks after application, but I think that's pretty standard for bureaucracy in any country.

Getting my Canadian Bachelor of Engineering recognized as a German equivalent degree cost 200 EUR and took 3 months.

You'll also need one biometric (passport) photo, which if you use a machine at any of the train stations will cost around 6 EUR. You can use the remaining 5 photos for things like getting a German driver's license, health card, etc.

I paid ADAC around 40 EUR to "translate" my Canadian driver's license into German, and then around 50 EUR to exchange it for a German Führerschein.

Total visa/admin cost for a comparable life in Germany: 450 EUR

Now, I have spent around 3000 EUR for language courses over the past several years, but I'm getting pretty fluent in German, so I'd consider it money well spent. If you were more self-motivated I'm sure you could study the language by just getting the textbooks and watching YouTube videos.
You know, I used to think the same way --education. But Europe, Germany in particular, stresses education, and that has not saved them from having overqualified people and too few jobs for them. It also minimizes the fact that not all people have the aptitude to learn and obtain higher degrees. It's a race to the top and in that race there will always be people below who feel left out. So education can only offer so much --not all.

To add, educated people without a job feel even worse than undereducated people who don't have a job because they believed education would insulate them from these issues when it might not.
Don't think that is possible. If I was a democrat today I'd do like the Republicans have been doing the last 8 years and do my outmost to make the Trump Presidency be a major failure.

The way the republicans have played this game is so dirty, that you can't expect people to forgive. We can not reward such a divisive character like Donald Trump with his racism, xenophobia, mysogny, insults and bullying with a successful presidency.

Honestly I think the democrats should do the best the sabotage him and make sure everything he does fails. It should teach them a lesson that there is no reward in playing dirty and confrontational.

If we reward this behavior it will only get worse.

It is sad to say, but for the long term benefit of America it is probably better if it gets run to the ground over these four years. Then America will be spared for such leaders in the future.

> We don't have more than one server and HN proper (not counting caches) runs on a single core.

Well, then. That is rather impressive.

(Though I suggest adding a processor/server. Probably small compared to your existing Cloudflare costs.)
You have a point, I think the costs probably depend on a lot of factors, and I suppose a "lot of money" is relative. I expressed some of my frustrations in this rather long comment here [0]. I went through CEC, and in order to get points I had to pass language exams in English and in French, even though I have certified Education in both languages, had to certify my degree, get background checks for a number of countries, etc. It all added up very quickly for me, but that likely varies from person to person. That said, I'm aware that I'm luckier than most.

Trump is the quintessential startup success story. Jump in the ring, breaks shit (always easier to ask for forgiveness than permission) then somehow makes his way to a hit product. He disrupted the business of politics much in the same way that uber disrupted the business of transportation.
