I find it interesting that most of the people I see on e.g. Facebook talking about moving to Canada are, in fact, not eligible to do so. (At least without a job offer in hand from a Canadian company to sponsor you.)

(Canada's a lovely country, I wonder if their immigration policies help keep it that way?)
I see Parallels isn't in that list of software. Is there a reason you don't use it?
I think the whole situation raises more questions than answers.
Have you been to any other European cities at all for comparison? For example I think Barcelona is a very clean and welcoming city, so is Amsterdam come to think of it.
This fundamentally reduces the usefulness of hash representations though. Instead of thinking of dict keys, think sets.

It's also worth pointing out that user-defined objects operate the way you seem to desire (e.g. default to using the id() property of the object to derive the hash). So in my mind, this strikes the perfect balance?

StdLib types that are immutable bake in more comparative hash properties while making it trivial for a user to wrap them and override this richer behavior with default hash based on id().

Consider:

```

>>> class myList(object):

... def __init__(self):

... self.inner_list = list()

...

>>> x = myList()

>>> x

<myList object at 0x10bdabf10>

>>> x.inner_list

[]

>>> y = {x: 'hi'}

>>> y

{<myList object at 0x10bdabf10>: 'hi'}

>>> x.inner_list.append(1)

>>> x.inner_list

[1]

>>> y

{<myList object at 0x10bdabf10>: 'hi'}

>>> for k in y.keys():

... print k.inner_list

...

[1]

```
Quite frankly, for most of what I do, a MacBook would be enough. Light and connected beats fast and heavy.
I agree, but it always rubs me the wrong way when rationality is assumed to be seated in the brain and ALWAYS correct/sane as opposed to emotion which is still viewed as some external force which crops up within ourselves and can't be trusted. Emotions occur in the brain just like logic, it's just in a different subconscious part. In fact evolution seemed to put a higher premium on emotions than rationality for most of our species history... and probably for good reason. Emotions aren't always wrong.

And it's not like the middle and lower classes have been treated that much worse under Republicans than Democracts when you get down to it. Certainly Republicans have been the party of Wall Street and Big Business for awhile, but there's plenty of people who still think getting rid of welfare and cutting taxes to the rich is what's best for everyone. I don't agree, but we can't reverse time and see what would have happened had Mondale won instead of Reagan. Maybe his policies would have pushed us farther into recession and actually made those lower classes less well off. And obviously we've seen the flip side of centralized communism completely fail, and rationally speaking a lot of intellectuals from 19th century Europe thought that was the inevitable logical and fair system of the future.
Sure, but it's not just Trump, his VP and political senior is a man that advocates openly for conversion therapy. That's where their very legitimate fear comes from.
I'm not just talking about what sports and music people like as being the foundation of culture.

Culture includes more important things. Just one example is casual corruption, like having to pay off the police for phony offensives. That's common in the western hemisphere south of the U.S. and many other places on the globe.

Individual immigrants as fellow human beings are fantastic and welcome. Problems arise when you try to integrate too many people as a large block from disparate societies too fast.
His parents tried to find the Burger King from Rt 9, took them 12 years to escape.
4chan/8chan. If there's a "HAPPENING", it will be posted there faster than the news stations can keep up.
radical idea: save it by focusing on what people use it for, ignoring the trolling that you want to go away anyway. Question is, is there a business model for that?

Fast news, breaking news events, what else?
Any feedback on Jakub Marian's books ?
I stumbled on the following books : https://jakubmarian.com/english-bundle-samples/.

Some of them have good feedback on amazon but I don't fully trust them and was wondering if someone on HN read one (or several) of them and could give some feedback on it.
> I consider doing this as a gesture of politeness

I disagree. The rights of a content creator are, after all, enshrined in the constitution. That's a bit more than "being polite". That said, the right of the public to have access after a defined period of time is also enshrined, so that does need to be taken into account.

> nothing that should be enforced by violence

Thats quite the jump - violence? I'm going to make the assumption that you're referring to the idea that no law should be made that you aren't willing to resort to violence to support.

Even under that assumption, I am OK with this being the law of the land. I believe that a person has the right to demand compensation for access their work, regardless of the form that work takes.
Anecdotally I think I have to agree with you. Most of my friends are the sort of college educated millennials that voted overwhelmingly for Clinton but even when talking about her there seemed to be a social stigma to saying that Clinton is a good candidate. She made a very good case for being the lesser of two evils but it seems that she failed to convince even many of her supporters that she was actually good.
> Norway generates more revenue with oil than the entires US of A, for 5 million people

I find this hard to believe. The US generates what looks to be close to 5x the barrels of oil per year as Norway, and since oil is globally prices, that should lead to approximately 5x the revenue. It will obviously be less per-capita, but that's not what you said.

> and is third worldwide exporter for Natural Gas just behind Qatar and Russia

Your facts are also slanted here. The US is the worlds largest natural gas producer[2], at over 6x the production of Norway, and 25% more than the second place, which is Russia.

That said, it's not like the US is a poor country, or doesn't have credit available to finance anything it wants. Training jobless workers would be a net benefit to the economy after a few years, and would pay itself off. We could easily finance that if we decided to. It's a matter of will, not capability.

Well, the US seems both more advanced and more ass-backwards compared to here in Turkey. Our way of getting data is very archaic, with people checking the results locally etc. (Internet might or might not be internally involved in that). But the trust in the elections are very low, and so the coverage of the elections has been a BIG issue since 2014 or so, many news networks have a few sources in parallel, and had the numbers for each reporting outlet and their biases on screen at the same time (different outlets converge in the end, but the intermediate numbers they report can be VERY divergent)

In addition to all those, there is Oy ve Otesi, a non-profit does the entire thing with only volunteer work. Their coverage is pretty minimal in rural areas, though.
The country pumpkins are free to start their own companies, if they like it better there.

And lots of them do. See all the startups in decidedly suburban Silicon Valley. (And yes, I am being a bit snarky here in equating everything outside of cities, be that suburban sprawl or proper countryside.)

Also see SAP in Walldorf.
The false speculations -- shared by both liberals and conservative, BTW -- were the result of the same blindness of the elites that has led to the outcome. If you've read those who weren't blind, like Thomas Frank,they saw it coming (although I think even Frank thought that the blind establishment would prevail in this cycle).

I can't tell if you're joking in the rest of your comment or not, but as to qualities you value, the test is simple: are those the qualities that you'd attribute to those you consider your social equals or superiors, or, in other words, are those the qualities you truly believe give people most social power (status and influence) in your own society? One of the distinguishing characteristics of scientific racism, from its modern rise in the late 19th century has always been to attribute "good" qualities to the races considered inferior as an attempt to paint itself not as a hate group but as simply the objective understanding of the natural order: every species has its good and bad qualities, and so does every race; every species has its place, and so does every race. Of course, scientific racism has always attributed to its believers those very qualities that happen to coincide with most power, because it's not about "better" or "worse", but naturally deserving of power or not. In other words, I smiled when I saw your "black female supremacist" comment, because I've read the exact same thing by writers in late 19th century many years ago in school, that I can't tell if you're ironically referencing classic scientific racism tropes or not. In any event, the view you're presenting here is actually called scientific racism. It is not an "attack on you" by any means, just as calling me socialist isn't an attack on me. I believe that if you read some of the vast scientific racism literature, you'll gladly identify yourself as a member (unless realizing how familiar and old your opinions are would make you understand how far they are from true heterodoxy).

BTW, attributing Jews with qualities that actually do coincide with social power is also a trademark feature of antisemitism, scientific or otherwise. It is crucial for (or at least, the habit of) nativist/racist movements to paint themselves as both deserving of power as well as victims, at once weak and powerful. So if you want to follow up with a question of whether or not you're a Jewish supremacist, you can spare it. I've read it all in 100+-year-old books.

I don't know if empathy is primarily destructive or not, but I still pity those who lack it.
I don't think anyone in this subthread is suggesting Twitter can't be replaced (some are actually just arguing that it's the only current way to get direct, first-hand information about current events). What are you adding to the conversation here?

What did we actually do before Twitter? There was a shooting at my university's library late at night a few years back and I only found out about it because of Twitter. I know about 50 people that were actually physically in the library at the time and a handful of them were live-tweeting. I not only knew what was going on, and that they were safe, I was warned not to go about 200m south at the moment (which happened to be the plan, the bar my SO and I were going to was on the opposite side of campus).

When I looked the next morning, there was one (1) article about it on a local website and nothing in national or regional media. Later that afternoon a ton of info came out and hit the media, but until then, there really wasn't anything. That showed me the power of Twitter (however stupid and cliche I sound saying that [look typing?]).

Just because something isn't necessary to survive as a human being, or to allow society to function properly, doesn't mean it shouldn't be fought for (again, not necessarily saying Twitter as a company, but the idea of a social network that allows for immediate sharing of ideas and news) or at the very least appreciated.

Do you not see the utility or are you just being a cynic?
It's the loss of access to maintenance drugs that's going to shorten the lives of some folks I know.

The USC/LA Times poll was still trash; Trump winning doesn't change that. Their poll was national (rather than broken down by states) and, as such, was meant to predict the popular vote rather than the electoral. They were suggesting a 3 point popular win for Trump and instead it's looking like it'll be a 2 point popular win for Hillary when the final vote tallies are in.
> And I hope that my Conservative friends who criticized President Obama for overreaches will remain consistent.

Unlikely. A majority of people just want to pick a side and rabidly defend it.

For example, the democrats contesting the Bush-Gore Florida results was just "sour grapes," but conservatives clamouring to see Obama's "long form" birth certificate to prove that he wasn't eligible for office wasn't?
They are paying much more for healthcare, while everything else is cheaper than Norway, one of the most expensive countries in the world.
We now support usb, try it. Note that we have a bug that make it work only with mass stirage device, but we will release fix soon.
Trump has years of experience in real estate development. I am sure he can pass project trough the regulators.

The critical variable is what is the Congress willing to do - if the Republicans embrace the blue collar workers - a lot can be accomplished.

Right now republicans have a chance to shape the country for a generation. And I hope they will see how rewarding the working class could benefit their big corporate donors - because america need a new middle class that can consume everything that corporate america produces.

And infrastructure spending is hard to resist to - it will benefit even Democratic districts.
One of the things that I didn't quite get when I started taking organic chemistry was that I really couldn't figure out (didn't have enough background knowledge) why many reactions happened the way they did and that I just had to memorize things.

(Accounting is the same way though for very different reasons. You could justify recording some transactions in about 5 different ways--but FASB says only a particular one is OK.)
You did see the recently unveiled Surface Studio, yes?

Between that and the Ubuntu in Windows thingy, MS is coming right for what used to be the Apple core audience.

> You might be willing to take those risks that Donald Trump is not the man he says he is

What if the things staying the same are the larger risk? The current status quo (a change from the past) isn't sustainable for many.

> The world might not go on for the Muslim hoping to immigrate to our country.

Be specific - which criteria is keeping them out? Why do they want to come to the US?

> poor pregnant women who might not get access to a safe abortion

You mean who get illegal abort?

> who [sees] a president who brags about sexually assaulting women

because it was publicized as part of a smear campaign. What about the public officials who see the email scandal, and that it didn't hurt president Clinton?

Like Trump said, what of Bill Clintons affair? No moralizing over that?

> trans person who is no longer allowed in the bathroom in which they feel the most comfortable

Lets say this really was a "world-ender"; What about the people who share that bathroom, who are also "uncomfortable"? Are subjective feeling only meaningful if exhibited by the trans community?
I'm a full time iOS developer and I think the new MBP will meet my needs. I'm looking forward to buying one and trying it out.

I'm disappointed it won't be configurable with more than 16 GB of RAM but that appears to be an Intel issue (I know you can argue they could choose a different CPU, but it is a mobile device and low power CPUs make sense in that regard).

I would love to hear from Apple what their plan is for the Mac Pro, but I'm planning on buying a new MBP soon.
> It's like 1930s Germany all over again, except that Muslims are the new Jews.

Considering how a certain segment of the population interpreted Trump campaign's last ad and cheered at that interpretation I wouldn't "worry", Muslims are more Jew+ than new Jews: the old ones are still going in the oven.
> Americans can certainly reshape their society to bring back factory work, but there are practical concerns here.

That's not the policy I was suggesting, but pretending that current neoliberal policies (that aren't shared by all successful countries) are the only option is both false, and the main reason that gave us Trump in the first place.
That was part of his argument. He also pushed immigration and anti-trade.
Why did you rip off Epic's UI?
This is only going to make them more paranoid going forward.
This fits into a general patterns of political problems, where small groups benefit greatly at the expense of much larger groups who all suffer very slightly. It's like the plot in Superman to steal fraction of a penny from everyone.

If you can negotiate a tax-break for your industry then it'll give you millions, but millions or even billions divided up amongst the whole nation is hard to spot for an individual.
This kind of cavalier talk about unleashing unfathomable misery on innocent people is one of the things that terrifies me most about the future.
"But you should have known better and been using emacs anyway."
That made me laugh out loudly harder than I've intended to do :-)
No, she wasn't so hated. In fact, she had net favorables midway through 2015. All you saw was a gutter campaign because really, Trump and the Republicans didn't have anything else to run on. Business record? Please. Personal character? Experience?

Restating an incorrect position won't make it true.
Right now, we have no clue if it will be OK. We have no idea what Trump will do on foreign policy. Harry Truman once said "domestic policy can only hurt you, but foreign policy can kill you". He'd been in charge for the end of WWII, after all.

It will matter a lot who Trump picks as Secretary of State. They'll probably determine more of foreign policy than Trump does.
This sucks. Web forums are the worst way to curate/understand/participate in a dialogue... especially something like this topic. All I see is a wall of text where supposedly "the good stuff" floats to the top by magic.

sigh
I've heard this argument but from the small sample of brits I know(I'm South African), those who voted Leave are highly educated. Two MBAs and an actuary. This trend seems to influenced by something other than "intelligence".
I'm inclined to agree with you, but I sure will miss the magsafe. I knock mine out at least once or twice a week. Maybe someone will make a USB-C cable with a magnetic breakaway in the middle.
>Representative democracy is intended to limit the ability of the majority to shoehorn the minority

That is a benefit of certain aspects of our political system, but not the electoral college. The electoral college only serves to introduce bizarre volatility into the elections.
Trump was elected president because it's like a movie? That's completely nuts.

> Clinton’s team of cognitive scientists and professional persuaders did a terrific job of framing Trump as scary.

Uh, no, Trump did that himself. He said the things he said [1] and did the things he did [2]. As I minority, I feel deeply alienated from people who take this as just theater, who have stood by as this man has fanned the flames of bigotry. That's an incredible privilege.

Considering his Twitter bio (in his profile) says he works at Amazon, I'm going to lean strongly on this being satire.

Honestly it's pretty funny that everyone took this at face value, pretty telling..
"Code is the easy part"

First you need to figure out what exactly the Elm community wants and needs. Once you have a pretty good idea of that, you can start prototyping things. Elm is still young, and the most pressing concerns for using Elm in production is not the lack of interfaces/protocols/typeclasses, but stuff like debuggers, which is what Evan is working on.

I'm sure we'll see some tool for ad-hoc polymorphism in the future, but not in the short term.
Phase it in gradually.

Land prizes don't actually fall in practice with introduction of land value tax, if it goes hand in hand with elimination of other taxes.

In effect, shifting the tax base from labour and capital to land.
Sure, hostile towards government while a large percentage of people actually work for government.
Democratic voters always say something similar to some degree when a republican president (and only president) gets voted in.
Yep. Every time.

Every employer I have ever had did pre-employment drug screening. A few likely companies have even done pre-interview screening. No one has ever done anything at all drug related after the initial hire date.

It's almost like they're just checking a box on an HR form, and no one actually cares.
This. Exactly.
He just has a faster release cycle, more iterations.

I seem to recall at least a few threads on HN over the past couple of years that suggested politics needs to be more agile.
I'm not an American but I'm even more worried about what sort of ripple effects we might feel from Trump based on his rhetorics so far.

I just do not get the outcome, it seems to be an outright rejection of Clinton, based on the narrative from trump's camp not reflecting on reality, history & competence. It seems like an overly emotional and rash response to the perceived economic injustice which is ironic since Clinton's policies would be better aligned for those trump supporters.

In my personal opinion, I think that this could be the beginning of the end of American hegemony. Leaders around the world are going to be biting the insides of their cheeks when they realize what they are dealing with.

I doubt that 100% of what trump said will happen in office but still, can't be a good feeling.

You wanted another Reagan, you got it America.
> You're missing the point completely.

You're right, I got sidetracked by this:

> has been saying the exact same things for years

I keep forgetting not to try debating what is or isn't a good argument, in the abstract, in politics threads.
When Bernie competed against Clinton, I don't think there was anyone pro Clinton. Stuff happened.

You could've gone to /r/the_donald. Beside the memes, there were many threads for each podesta email-leak, linking specific comments/sentences for deplorable dnc doings.

But you instead went to cnn, where it is illegal to think for yourself. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DcATG9Qy_A )

Now, it will be the Hillary supporters that need to create new accounts to defend her.
What is the thought process behind him using the term "witness"? I can tell it is backed by an interesting perspective and I'd like to learn more about that perspective.

At one point, he said this witness "proved" something ... so is this coming from "propositions as types"?
heres an article i like about this:

socialized health care may not be required.
I posted a short update on Linkedin like "I left my CTO job at {nnn} and started a development shop" and a guy from my network saw it and asked if we could develop something for him
On another note, I find it really interesting that people are up in arms about the "social damage" implications, as if that was the only thing at stake. What about the damage potential of Hilary's desire to enforce a no-fly-zone over Syria, unambiguously escalating tensions with Russia and moving us closer to a potential WWIII? Acceptable for the sake of the former? A minor detail?
I bought a MacBook last Friday, and I hope I don't end up regretting not getting a MacBook Pro. The MacBook is fairly much awesome but it does not feel very physically robust and I hope it ages well.
