In Seattle there are problems with building managers not renewing leases because, even with high/low seasons, they can make more money renting the same rooms as AirBNBs.

AirBNB is a great idea if you're renting out your space (and I've stayed at several like that; either where they're in the house with you or one guy in The Netherlands who just stayed with his girlfriend on the weekends he rented his place out). But of course, just like eBay, you'll get a mix of people just selling their stuff and people who make a business out of it; writing their own fulfilment and drop shipping software against the eBay APIs.

I really like this post referring to Uber/AirBNB/et. al. as the "bullshit sharing economy":

They didn't take over all three major government branches. They "took over" one via the Presidency. They maintained their majorities in the legislature. They will maintain a hold on the Supreme Court by virtue of the Presidency, not public mandate.

In a strongly divided country, interpreting anything as a clear public mandate can be disastrous.
Well, it's because you're arguing what you did was somehow objectively relevant. That's a very binary stance.

What he said makes complete sense in the context he presented it in, and is valid.

You're arguing how what he said would be bad in an entirely different context, which is irrelevant.

What I really want is a dongle that lets me use my existing magsafe bricks with the new MBP. Is there one of those coming?
Cost of care has always been super high. What has changed is how much of that people have to pay because of health insurance going to shit.
This is not technology news.
That's a good point. I just feel that when a politician says "I am going to" what they mean is "I will not".

Time will tell.
I'm glad you are so much smarter than the rest of us.
So... because the CPU that Apple chose doesn't support >16GB RAM in a way that's convenient for Apple to meet an Apple-imposed specification, it's Intel's problem?
Developers have their preferences, but I've had to do dev work on a Pentium II over frickin' telnet over a modem connection. We can make do, because we know how to. Apple knows this, so they have no reason to care.

Actually, MSFT has pushed Windows Server on supercomputers a few times, as well as for other latency critical applications like the London Stock Exchange. Each time they've ended up with egg on their faces for technical reasons, i.e. Linux consistently outperforms Windows Server both on speed and reliability for these workloads.

Have you tried hostels? With a group of 5 you could probably get a dorm room to yourselves. I've stayed in over 30 hostels on various trips. Some are shit, but the majority of them were really nice and a lot of fun. You meet a lot of cool people and you don't overpay for a room you're just going to sleep in anyway.
So how does this work for people already locked up for possession. Can they be let out since if they were caught with the weed now they would not be breaking the law?
Why is any regulation needed? Why can't the free market just be allowed to work? For such a 'liberal' city -- San Franciscoans certainly love their intrusive, big government.

It's like laws against prostitution or marijuana -- pointless nanny-stating. Private property rights ought to mean something.
> you are not Apple's target audience anymore

recently researched dozens of Windows notebooks and I found two reasons why the new Macbooks might be still for developers:

- Only notebooks which can drive 2x 5k displays + the internal, there is no Windows notebook which can do this; and having two ultra sharp 27" 5k displays is something that might be attractive for developers

- the new MBP 15 is the lightest quad-core 15" machine by far, also not the worst thing
well im shocked trump swept the blue firewall. Its clear the alt right has taken control of the gop. Scott Adams seems like an oracle now.
The tragedy is that there is no America.

We are a squabbling collection of peoples with irreconcilable differences and fundamental values, no common history, no common faith, bound together under one increasingly arbitrary, self-interested and interventionist federal government.

Secession and peaceful separation would be ideal, but it is hard to see how that happens. I say that with a deep sympathy for everyone with strong feelings about their fundamental values.
Höpö-höpö. The rest of the Nordic block - Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland - doesn't have oil, and we all have very similar policies that Norway has.

It doesn't fully protect us from effects of globalization and we have similar situation with the population in rural areas and small old industrial towns not doing that well and turning against immigrants because of that.

But it seems that the situation is much worse in the US.
No, insurance can protect against any losses.
One thing that helps countries develop the expertise to produce high qualities, is selling to fickle and demanding foreigners.

Export led industrialization has worked well for the Asian Tigers, and the quality of their products is decent enough.

It's also instructive to look at Europe's industrialization in the 19th century. The Brits famously demanded Made in Germany to be marked on goods to allow the British customer to detect the inferior products. Turned out, they weren't inferior any more.
What an asshat.

I still don't think they get it--Trump is not a "dangerous man" and the things people are pissed off about are as simple as Obama not allowing the Border Patrol to enforce the laws of the land! I don't know much more I can break it down for people who don't want to listen.

It was more than "not listening"--that in itself is condescending, btw. It is about what the banker class did and got away with--privatizing risk, socializing losses. People aren't stupid, they figured out the con.

Lastly, the embrace of the death cult of Islam has been stunning, to say the least. Old world behavior and murder get a pass? Why?
I have yet to see a compelling argument as to how a Trump presidency leads that labor to a livable wage.
It's happening in every country on earth, regardless of the policies of the respective governments.
Childhood Origins of Narcissism
This is true, she didn't make a strong positive case for what her policies would look like. And if she did then she didn't spend her time effectively trying to convey this. (can't actually remember even a single policy of hers except for easier abortions and confrontation with Russia over Syria)

But what I feel is problematic is that Trump was painted as some kind of Hitler, which is ludicrous if you spent a few hours watching some of his rallies. He says things he shouldn't say, and some might say he's an a-hole, but he certainly doesn't come across as a Hitler, a fascist or a Nazi.

Why is it so problematic for everyone? It increases the likelihood of violence, not just against Trump and his family, but against everyone showing public support for him.

In some way not only the people engaging in violence are to blame, but also the media and the campaigns, because when you somehow convince a large chunk of the population that a candidate is literally like Hitler then many will use violence believing it's justified in order to prevent a new Holocaust.

Also the Hitler comparison is used today too often. I believe we currently have 4 Hitlers according to the political establishment: Trump, Putin, Erdogan, Duterte
> You've never been to the deep south, much the south, have you?

Even still, the left has treated the center and right like klansmen for the last decade. Perhaps the left's fatal flaw was failing to distinguish between actual racists and those who simply didn't drink the identity-politics kool-aid.
Google opened first Canadian Engineering office in January
I unapologetically voted for DJT. My issues are listed from the most to least important (whether they are logical or not).

- I didn't want to intervene in Syria and wanted peace with Russia over Crimea.
- The multiple FBI investigations into Clinton gave an air of illegitimacy.
- Ethics reform.
- Repeal of ACA.
- Lower corp tax rate and more lenient corporate tax laws.
- Lower income tax rate (would be nice)
- Tighter restrictions on H1B visas.
- The wall.
- An audit of the federal reserve.
Yes, I remember that. I would not have called 2004 Obama liberal on LGBT issues.

Also, and maybe I'm missing something because I'm not personally affected by this, but I think there's quite a difference between telling two adults they can't get married, and telling a child that they're going to be miserable and flawed their whole life if they don't figure out how to be straight, and we'll give you electric shocks to condition you out of being gay.

Or between telling two adults they can't get married, and telling an adult they can't use the bathroom. (Which is the effective result of the bathroom bills: a trans person is legally unwelcome in one restroom and socially unwelcome, to the point of causing legal trouble until a judge looks at their birth certificate, in another.) I would much prefer never to be able to get legally married than never to be able to use a public restroom.

There are plenty of anti-gay-marriage people, even evangelicals, who don't support "conversion therapy" and who don't believe that government should be regulating which bathroom you're using. I would be very willing to call someone liberal on LGBT issues despite picking, say, Obama of 2004 as their running mate.
That's interesting, but coming from the art side, I would argue that while the bottom would continue to fall, the middle & top-end still would need a professional. Running a photography business isn't just about taking the photos. The pre-production, post-production and business/marketing involved is what is necessary for a sustainable photography business.

I think this challenge of the race to the bottom exists in virtually every industry.
Makes sense, 802.11 isn't Ethernet.
So while this is cool I did not look at the proposition nor any of the legalities surrounding it. If anyone could answer (or provide a link explaining) the following I'd appreciate it:

* How will this change how marijuana will be bought/sold?

* How will this affect drug testing for Californian businesses? For other businesses?

* Are there any catches/gotchas to recreational use to be wary of?

EDIT: Thanks for your answers, guys! Good to know =D
Thought conformity at our doorsteps.
Voter ID is a good example of what you shared. The left pretends to champion minorities with their stance, but it's really a disdain and underlying racism against those groups:

So if I am walking past a home and they happen to be playing a movie I do not own I some how "owe" the created monetary compensation?

> use their work without paying the creator's asking price.

that depends on how you define use, I do not believe a content creator has the ethical authority to tell me how I can or can not arrange the bits on my computer system, or what order I am allowed to write words on paper I own.

I dont believe a creator should be allowed to use government violence or the threat of government violence to prevent me from downloading instructions from a website that directs my computer to store a series of 1 of 0's in a manner that a translation program can then direct my display to light led's in a specific pattern that many brain will recognize and accept as entertainment

They have the right to ask me to voluntary give them money in exchange for them recording how the computer should store these 1 and 0's but to make it illegal for me to copy this pattern is where I draw the line.
He mocked a disabled reporter, he bragged about sexual assault, and he ran an ad that showed pictures of Jews with a voiceover talking about global special interests controlling the levers of power. Also off the top of my head.

I wish the people who voted for Trump would just be honest and take ownership of the hate, instead of trying to gaslight everyone by playing dumb.

Ask HN: Where can I analyze exit poll dataset?
All the media sites do their own rollups of the exit poll data, but the dimensions they pick are static. Is there any site where I can pivot on my own sets of dimensions? E.g. I see married men went overwhelmingly for Trump, but I can't see if that also correlates with age.

Are there any sites that expose a more flexible interface? Or the data itself?
Christmas Time Management Tips
Typically, Democrats have been closer to supporting the working class and the Republicans have been closer to Wall Street.

Clinton ignored the suffering of the working class calling many of them a "basket of deplorables". Instead, she would take $675,000 for 3 talks to Goldman after many Americans had suffered from the housing crisis. These "deplorables" as Clinton would call them helped to win Trump the election.

Sanders had 85% of the youth vote but instead of changing her policies to reflect Sanders she criticized Sanders. Even after BrExit, which reflected the suffering of working class in Britain, Clinton still did not understand and have sympathy for the working class. So, the working class, "the deplorables" voted for Trump.
Those are some nice looking laptops. With this development, I may be getting one. The 900S with QHD looks like fun!
There's still plenty of people on the margin that would move to functioning cities, if housing was cheaper.

(Detroit is not a functioning city.)
What do you mean by "lost"? You mean the nation building part? Because Afghanistan and Iraq didn't win those wars. The occupation and attempts at nation building are a different story.
The current insurance market is not a permanent thing. If you look at the ACA marketplace, the list of plans changes year by year and that's the same thing that happens on the private market. In that context, what does keep your insurance even mean? Yes, I highly doubt we'll get dropped from our insurance plans in the middle of the year, but those of us on the independent market almost always have to buy a new plan every year. As such, the question of whether or not we can obtain a new plan is extremely important.
An ISP may facilitate lawlessness in the same way a road might for a drug trafficker, but they certainly don't participate. Airbnb participates
Whether or not someone needs it depends on their circumstances. You may argue that a dev shouldn't, but that doesn't mean that some do.

Whether or not Apple produces a laptop with more than 16GB is up to them and what tradeoffs they make.
In the UK, there's plenty of short-term lease companies and "aparthotels" which rent out entire flats, but have actually gained the necessary permission from local Government to do so. I assume there's similar companies elsewhere.
I agree with you but a lot of the troubles that she had were difficult to see ahead of time, especially the email server and the leaks. It's easy to slap on a narrative after the fact but at the time Hillary really was the choice most likely to win the the election. I'm not saying that she didn't do an exceptionally poor job in certain areas but all she needed to do was one or two percent better and there would be the narrative of it being a landslide the other way.
> Wait, what? He ran on fixing the economy (done)...

Not really. It's not at the point of collapse, but it sure wasn't a normal recovery. It's better than 2008, but it's still broken in some very real ways.

> ... ending the war in Iraq (done)...

Sort of. The battle for Mosul was in the news just last week, with US involvement.

> ... restoring our relationship with the rest of the world (done)...

Russia is fighting against our goals in Syria, and illegally occupied the eastern Ukraine. Iran has a nuclear deal with us, but immediately started thumbing its nose at us. China is trying to see how much influence they can gain at our expense in Asia. North Korea's nuclear and missile programs are, according to their rhetoric, aimed explicitly at us.

> ... universal health care (done)...

Seen the premium changes for 2017? The law was passed, but "bending the cost curve" sure didn't happen.
The book Hillbilly Elegy is a great read to get a peak into this culture: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0166ISAS8/
It's been a really long time since I read an article this long. Very eye opening.
I feel that it's less about going to a 1950s ideal and more about giving more opportunities to the uneducated rural people who have been extremely hurt by globalism.
I know what you mean, and sometimes I feel that way too. But I think a lot of it is just overpromising. Politicians promise the moon and stars, when all they have is a tall ladder. It's especially bad with American presidents, who the people see as almost an emperor, but whose power is relatively limited in most areas. It's crazy how many times I saw people say things like, "Trump will cut taxes on..." or "Clinton will raise taxes on...." No they won't, that's Congress's area!

But telling the military to sink another country's ships, that is something the president can do....
"States' Rights" was always a red herring, IMO. Even in the civil war, the confederate constitution explicitly banned individual states from deciding to ban slavery.
Maybe this can help you find a pen pal

This site seems to be broken, I get matched but most messages don't post. In the meantime the best way to have a discussion with Trump supporters is not to vote them to negative infinity on HN :-)
But I thought Hillary was leading in polls. Also, how would you know how many people lied in the polls?
So I still have not found an answer on what is the real replacement for a MacBook Pro 15" for a professional developer these days? I cannot believe the Dell XPS or some Lenovos are the sole options out there targeted towards developers.

I want something, with good battery life, looking nice and having >16GB RAM, a decent screen & keyboard and not being too heavy. Any suggestions?
I don't like him, won't defend him, but in the interest of understanding why this might have happened I post my explanation here:

Unlike certain other(s) he hasn't:

* started a war yet

* told American voters that 50% of Americans are too stupid for their own good.

* cheated Sanders out of the primaries

That seems to count for something.
I think there's a good chance that someone with experience in highly regulated industries will not do that.
Did you see the email released yesterday explicitly revealing HRC's campaign strategy? [0] They targetted framing Trump as a "pied piper" candidate going back to April 2015.

Trump condoned crowds chanting "Hang that bitch" at his rallies. Regardless of how you feel about the usual left vs right arguments - tapping into anger in this fashion is playing with fire.
I would rather read the actual ruling, instead of a short news summary, before jumping to conclusions about what "literally the same argument" could be applied to. Usually there's a lot more subtlety to these things than the press reports.

Does anybody have a link handy?
I seriously doubt that /everyone/ would be on the 'free everything' plans. Just like right now not /everyone/ is in jail (but those that are still cost us QUITE a bit both in jail fees and in public court fees of various kinds).

Wouldn't a social safety net to prevent destroyed families, to prevent crimes driven by desperation and/or drug abuse, and to fund the enrichment of workers in to higher skill cogs in the machine that is society be a wiser investment than in more police, prosecutors and jails?
I'll probably wait for the next generation. My current one (previous-gen 15") is more than enough for a couple years.
NYT Newsroom Wrapper for AP Elections API
No. I am saying moral principles change with the times, and politics is a process that reflects and adapts to the times. Remember 2008's Obama: where was he on gay marriage? Was he such an open advocate? What about all previous presidents? Were they all evil because they were not as progressive as we are today?
And they didn't distinguish between the 13-inch model and 15-inch model, since 13-inch model without touch bar is worth considering as a replacement to current MBA.
I think the question is what it means to be American. To me, it means living and let living, and to accept others no matter who or what they are. To others, it means to be white and Christian.
Ordinarily I think this should have been handled at the state level. But when states fail so badly that citizens are living in daily fear of violence, I think it's appropriate for the federal government to step in. And it's irresponsible to repeal those protections when the issue has not been resolved at the state level.
Mhm, have you looked at the Razer Blade, or the Razer Blade Stealth? I'm very certain that the bundled in NVIDIA 10XX will power through.
Yeah from what I've seen, Trump supporters are NOT embarrassed to be Trump supporters. Media and liberals are embarrassed for the Trump supporters but the actual supporters are proud and see the media as condescending
> Hillary focused her entire campaign on why people should stop Trump

I don't believe that. It might be what you saw but that's because the media wouldn't cover anything substantive. She tried; it just got drowned out by all the smears (including those against Trump) and horse-race coverage.
I'm not sure I understand the hate for this MacBook Pro on HN. To be fair I never quite understood the now defunct Apple love on HN either. I think this new MacBook Pro is actually a very decent laptop [1], if a tad expensive. I mean I actually carry my laptop a lot, and not in a car since I'm a mere pedestrian (and formerly cyclist, used to bike to work 30 minutes each way every day carrying my laptop in my backpack, now I just walk to work). I always dreamed of a MacBook Pro the size of a MacBook. I've never bought a MacBook Pro because previous models were too bulky, but this model is a pretty solid compromise. I'm waiting to try it before buying it, but it looks almost perfect. A tad too heavy still, and obviously expensive...

[1] I really dislike the pro moniker: being a pro is not a function of what you do with your tools, but of whether you are paid (or aim at being paid) to do it. There are many non-pro that need very high end specs (e.g. for video editing, playing games, enjoying VR experiences, etc.), and plenty of pro that really just want to send an email, tweak an Excel spreadsheet, or write an Elixir app. Nothing that would require an overspec beast.
The two-party system is a direct consequence of the winner-takes-all, first-past-the-post voting system.

If you want more than 2 polarizing parties to emerge, you have to use an alternative voting system which allows ranking, such as IRV, and thus encourages third parties instead of disincentivizing them (due to spoiler effect).
It sounded to me like they were suggesting that Trump is planning to implement stop-and-frisk, not that it is already occurring all the time.
Worse than that, she would have had to say that she did walk up to ghaddafi and open-hand grab his testicles.
