I don't think there's any mystery at all what Trump plans to do. It's right there in his big plan PDF:

* Repeal ACA
* Keep pre-existing conditions aspect.
* Keep 26-and-under insured by parents.
* Boost health savings accounts.

The last one has been suggested many times by many Republicans. It seems painfully obvious to me why it is preferred by the GOP: The more money you make the more it makes sense.

Health savings accounts essentially amount to discounts on your taxes. If you're in the 31% tax bracket it means (in simplified terms) you're paying 69 cents on the dollar for health related expenses. If you're in the 44% tax bracket you're paying 56 cents on the dollar for your health related expenses.

It's a huge handout to the rich and is completely useless to the poor who can't afford to put thousands of dollars away each year towards (future) health expenditures.

I can't think of a tax proposal that more embodies the beliefs of the GOP than health savings accounts...

* Reduces taxes
* Does nothing to control costs (that's socialism!)
* Completely ignores the poor
* Barely beneficial to the middle class
* Completely ignores reality

The last one seems to be the cornerstone of the GOP these days. From ignoring global warming to ignoring the war on drugs to ignoring the mass incarceration and unfair treatment of minorities. They are the party of no empathy.

Furthermore, there have been articles referencing the analytical failings behind the miscalculation by those who claimed Trump had no chance along with numerous links to self-reflection pieces characterizing the attitudes of the media, especially a perceived "smugness" as it pertains to the liberal media.

Confession, I'm socially liberal yet conservative on a few other major issues; I have a history of exhibiting said "smugness" and rather than seeing this election as an "emergency", I find it to be a thought-provoking indictment of our (liberals) ineptitude at true empathy, collaboration, and compromise.
With all due respect, I think you are simply overwhelmed. Specifically, this:

>which will have rippling negative effects around the world.

We don't know that.

>to what will very clearly be an abominable and destructive regime.

Nothing clear about that.

>I came today expecting a community making plans to protect the vulnerable, to save the planet from climate catastrophe, to ensure the economic environment that has allowed Silicon Valley to flourish. Instead: "I’m a huge fan of Zelda, The Wind Waker’s graphics.".

Silicon Valley was not born to protect the vulnerable or save the planet, but to create technology. Often in the form of games and graphics.

To calm your spirits, let me try to put it succinctly:

People are trying to infer what kind of president he will be based on what kind of candidate he was. This doesn't work. When someone is a candidate, their job is to win at the game of being a candidate. This involves a certain tool-set: Scandals, digging up skeletons, making dead people vote, disinformation campaigns, promising a utopia, coming out as crazy, whatever gets the votes. Some are morally higher than this. It might work, but I don't think they ever become presidents, especially when others are playing by certain rules.

When a candidate is elected, though, they are the president and their job isn't to be a candidate anymore, it's to be a president. It's different.

Candidate Trump was something, but President-elect Trump is another thing, POTUS Trump will be something else because he needs to be.
My take is it was a good right out of school job. But it wasn't Google awesome. See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8736450

Anyway, regular devs shipping regular product is, to me, a better first job than remote work for most people. The people for whom remote work right out of school is less likely to be detrimental are probably people who were banging out open source or side projects while in school...i.e. those with a strong established independent habit.
While this does happen once in a while it's not as common as you make it out to be. I resold Chewbacca masks[1] during that hype for an obscene markup and everything I sold was a real transaction.

> locked up hundreds of thousands of poor black people to court skittish suburbanites

That's an utterly meaningless comparison. Bill Clinton was a governor with terrible policies concerning minorities [1], while Donald Trump was a real estate mogul with terrible policies concerning minorities. The fact that their different leadership positions meant that Trump could harm a statistically fewer number of people means exactly nothing.

"Didn't lock up any black people" isn't exactly an achievement for someone who hasn't served in government.

[1]: I agree with you that Bill Clinton deserves to be held completely accountable for his actions as Arkansas governor.

> Is there any real physical evidence that an electron can be both states at the same time, outside the mathematical framework of QM?

Another way to respond to your question is to consider that the transistors inside the machine you used to post your comment were designed based on QM models of the electron that essentially follow from the Schrodinger Equation (e.g. via Fermi-Dirac statistics [0]).

As far as has been known since 1947, without QM it is extremely unlikely humans would ever have discovered how to build solid state semiconductor devices like the transistor. A key intrinsic feature of QM is superposition.

The double-slit experiment is a famous experiment that provides "tangible" evidence for superposition. [1]

Yeah, interestingly they show it at the end (I'm sure there's a reason, but of course you could have turned it off before that pops up). It's probably also in the mlb.tv subscription agreement, which again doesn't make it necessarily enforceable, but if they also show it during the broadcast it makes it a bit more likely to be enforced than if it's just one of a thousand things in the clickwrap.

> But this was not a simple tactical fail, this is a strategic type long sequence of failures.

Really? Because from what I saw, the biggest failure from Hillary was the email scandal, and of course the failure to actually get elected. I didn't see sequence of failures. If anything, Trump had a much bigger sequence of failures, from the tax leaks, to the Trump University fraud, to belittling a former Miss Universe, to the pussy grabbing comments and more. He got elected nonetheless because he managed to sell a message people wanted to hear.

> What good are those things for then? I would imagine such a long experience at being a politician should translate into the ability to manage an election, understanding and communicating the issues to the constituents, seeing what the voters want, and so on.

Those things are helpful, in the same way that being smart is helpful if you're starting a company. But smart people start failing companies all the time and experienced politicians lose elections all the time, too.
>Is the minimum wage too high or something?

I would ask in response: why does anyone still believe that the supply of something, rather than the demand of it, overdetermines the price of a thing?

This seems at best an incomplete worldview. At worst, it's the epitome of thoroughly discredited supply-side market theology.

There is unemployment because there is no demand for labor in these areas largely because the main employer in the area decided to pad profits by getting labor supplied from brutally poor people living in unregulated nations.

In a separate vein, I think this comment does surface an important idea: it's easy to think HN=SV/SF, and that the perceived monoculture of SV/SF defines HN.

So that's weird. I looked at her feed, didn't see anything beyond the pale.

On the other hand, I can't quite replicate her search. When I search, I get more results than she does, maybe not as many as I'd expect, but importantly, not the same as her. I can't say "obviously there's nothing here" but I also don't think there's a smoking gun.

If you're concerned about this, you really should not be pointing me to one tweet by one user. You should have reams of evidence, documented, with a timeline, with comparisons to what other users see, etc, etc. If you don't care about convincing people who haven't already bought in, that's ok, but if you do want to persuade, you're going to have to provide something better than this one tweet.

My original comment wasn't to prove the accuracy of the polling, rather, to show the bias of the media when reporting poll results. While the poll may have been innacurate,so were many of the polls that put Clinton ahead that they decided to publish.

The real evidence of this is from the last experiment under "Sequential Experiments". Essentially, you only select particles with spin-up in the z direction, then you select particles with spin-up in the x direction. So the resulting particles should be up in both the z and x direction. But if you measure in the z direction again, you find an equal distribution in up and down, indicating that you can't simply treat the spin as both pointed in the x and z direction, and that measuring in the x direction has scrambled the previously well-defined z direction.

This experiment shows that measuring the spin direction in different axes does not commute. Measuring in one direction scrambles the other, which is equivalent to saying measuring in x then z is not the same as measuring in z then x. This fact is inherently related to the notion of a superposition. If a particle's spin direction is well-defined in one measurement basis, it is not well-defined in another - meaning it is in a superposition state in that measurement basis.

You might ask - why can't I describe the system after measuring in the x-direction as just a random mixture of up and down in the z-direction? Physicists use something called a density matrix to describe systems that have both some degree of quantum superposition and classical randomness. One way to measure the degree to which some stream of particles is a random mixture or not is to interfere particles in that stream with each other.

In the Stern-Gerlach experiment, after measuring in the x-direction, if the information in the z-direction was actually simply randomly scrambled, the probability that any two particles from the stream are truly identical is 1/2. If the particles are all identically in a superposition state, then any two particles will always be identical.

You can actually test the indistinguishability of two particles by doing an interference experiment. One very nice example of this is this experiment:
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1312.7182.pdf
Two atoms were trapped next to each other using lasers. If these atoms have the same spin, they're indistinguishable. If they have different spin, then they are distinguishable, and won't interfere with each other. In fig. 3, you can see varying levels of interference depending on how well-aligned the spins are.
Thats a fair point and I was intending to use a bit of hyperbole, while speculating on what COULD happen.
It's always been fun to read comments below a China-related post, as a Chinese.
1. For me, our government is always trying to do some kind of lazy policy.
2. Try not to think of it in so-called Western way. China is a developing country and new web users are less-educated compared to those from the west(I have to say). That's why the web rumors are becoming a huge issue in China and people are actually supporting this kind of law.
3. Like almost all the users on HN can't understand people voting on Trump. Don't judge it right or wrong. Try understand their point of view.

It depends a lot on who the attacker is and what they already know about the user.

Tor's best-case is when someone sees only one side of the connection and has no prior knowledge: the guard node (entry) side sees "who" and the exit side to some extent sees "what", but these pieces of information can't be connected. "Oh, this person's using Tor; no idea why!" or "Oh, somebody's reading French Wikipedia; no idea who!" And that's certainly a huge win for privacy and applies in practice matter to many Tor users every day.

If you have a suspicion about the "who" and you can perform some kind of surveillance against that specific person, or you have visibility into activity on a network where some potential "whos" might be or where the guard node they used is located, the picture gets a lot worse, and it's probably still bad if Tor activity grows a hundredfold. But there are other models where increased use of Tor is just what the doctor ordered, like a government that wants to scrutinize every Tor user.

One paper analyzing how bad some kinds of practical attacks are is

https://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=2516651

but that doesn't necessarily cover the whole landscape for how Tor users' privacy might be compromised.

I'm starting to think about writing a "How Tor Fails FAQ" or something (with an emphasis on the fact that I'm a big supporter, have done outreach on behalf of the Tor Project, presented them with an award, and think the technology is the best in its class). The Tor developers will be the first to tell you that anonymity technology is difficult and fragile.

The main difference seems to be that the NSRL does not include PGP signatures (or any substitute), so there's no way to verify that the hashes are authentic, in the sense that the hashed software is bitwise identical to the software that the developer intended to distribute. This is precisely the problem that codehash.db is designed to solve. Without any way to verify the authenticity of the hash values, we have to rely on the authority of the NSRL itself. (In addition, the fact that the NSRL appears to have close ties to the U.S. government might make it even harder for some people to trust it.)
