Yep, that's democracy. You made your bed, now lie in it.
Typeclasses aren't bad, that's for sure. I kinda want something as flexible as typeclasses and derive generic but no where near that complex. A big part of me says I could do well with just promising some JavaScript really really meets a type signature. Ports are great for side effects but I there might be room for this for pure functions?
Like affordable healthcare .gov?
Threads here are all over the place, and I guess there's a lot that can be said in response to Trump's election. So I'll just chime in with this, which is a hasty, from-memory, partial rehash of something I posted on Facebook earlier.

If you have a problem with Trump being elected, or with our political system as it is in general, consider this old saw

"If you keep doing what you've been doing, you'll keep getting what you've been getting."

Now, full disclosure, I'm a "third party" guy (Libertarian, specifically) anyway, so I am absolutely biased, no bones about it. But I believe that part of doing something besides "what we've always done" means starting to vote for 3rd party candidates. Screw Duverger's Law, forget "lesser of two evils" voting, and quit voting out of fear. I posit that people need to start voting for candidates they support instead of voting against candidates they are afraid of.

Along with that, of course, belong efforts to switch voting systems to approval voting, or Condorcet voting, etc., as well as efforts to eliminate restrictive ballot access laws, open up the debates, etc.

Basically, we have to break up this duopoly that has been in place for 100+ years, or nothing is really going to change. Of course my hope is that all this will lead to more Libertarians in office,but even if you don't support the Libertarian viewpoint, I hope most everybody can agree that the current system isn't working as it should.
Most latinos in Florida are not of Mexican descent, and Trump's comments were most hurtful for Mexicans, so that might partly explain it.
From what I've seen, they aren't specifically anti-art; they are anti-modernism.

I'm yet to see anyone disparage a Michaleangelo, but I do see them question the validity of a Pollock.

At some level, it is the fault of modern artists as well - a Pollock or even a Hirst isn't easy to "get"
I'm not trying to be a luddite, and it's all fun, but to me this seems like a particularily bad idea.

Sure, this obviously works most of the time, especially on romance novels. But the end result if actually used anywhere is that books would be either made to look as homogenic as possible, or they would be mischaracterized when being artistic in a nod to some content in the book.

Judging a book by its cover doesn't work with humans, and is a bad idea, ergo it's still a bad idea to have a machine do it
I don't think so.

Unless you already invested money in your own life, your family and friends and there is still some money that really serves you nothing for the next 5-10 years.
I moved from France to Germany already. If you work in software and don't like the direction France is taking, it's a no brainer.

Just sayin'.
There's nothing quite as satisfying as the schadenfreude of watching an "elite" who got by for years on charm, connections, hot air and wealth finally get called on their BS and go down in flames so publicly!

While another gets elected president of the United States.
I am (somewhat deliberately, since this thread was initially about Brexit + Trump being part of a more general trend) conflating what Trump said about immigration with what his supporters have said about immigration. Trump's proposal was about illegal immigration. I actually think that as president he's going to be a lot more moderate than many on the left fear.

I'm also pretty sure that there are supporters of his that actually want to send all immigrants back to where they came from. "America for Americans", right? And most of the hypotheticals in this thread are about what happens if that wing of the party gets its way and pushes through rather extremist legislation.
Yes, let's grab America by the pussy like our president, who admitted to sexually harassing women on video!
I doubt many people cared that she was a woman as a reason to vote against her.

But the fact that she kept highlighting her gender as a reason to vote for her probably did annoy some people.
> other countries aren't really doing that well with human rights, LGBT issues, affordable housing, or constitutionally-protected free speech

Bit of a weird statement. There are a lot of countries in the world and plenty of them do far better than the US on these issues.
Right - and what can be done with tech to help sift true facts from lies and exaggerations?
> For most of recorded history, the primary means of production has been land and so fights have been over land, but over the last 150 years or so (contemporaneous with the nation-state as a social organizing principle, BTW), the primary means of production shifted to capital, and now it's shifting to information.

I don't expect wars over land to be done anytime soon. We might be doing most of our work on computers rather than on land, but the resources for these computers gotta come from somewhere. This is why esp. China has been going around and buying huge troves of land in Africa: not only to feed their growing population, but also to call dibs on the minerals in the ground.

That doesn't mean that information wars are not happening as well. (Though not nearly as prominent since these need way less personnel and happen less openly.)
And then you can just use millimeters as the unit instead of the awkward "inch/64".
Effect of Moist Heat Cooking Methods on Nutrient Bioavailability in Foods
Sure, and most of those imports would come from the surrounding farmland. It would likely be somewhat more expensive than the current system, but primarily because urban taxes would not be providing agricultural subsidies.

Tokyo already does this and food there is not substantially expensive than it is in other alpha cities.

Also there are plenty of big cities not surrounded by farmland. Hong Kong and Singapore, for example.
The problem is not that we ended up with Trump (or Hillary). The problem is that we ended up with Trump vs. Hillary. The majority didn't care enough for the earlier stages of our democratic process.
The irrational part is using "inch/32" as the unit instead of, say, millimeters.
Well, we've quantized gravitation extremely well - it's just perturbative quantum gravity, of which there are a couple flavours. In weak gravity it makes predictions identical to General Relativity, but is taken to be an effective field theory (in the Charles Wilson sense of "effective) in that we do not know how to deal with Feynman diagrams with more than a loop or two of gravitons, which only happens in strong gravity.

In these theories, gravitons are quantizations of the weak-field perturbations.

The non-renormalizability by power-set counting of gravity because it is a long-range force is a good result of perturbatively quantized gravity. Who knows if there is a workable way of renormalization by other methods? Not me.

Since we don't get strong gravity except close to a black hole singularity or in the extremely early universe, it's unfair and premature to say that the EFT approach has been unsuccessful.
It's pretty obvious. I'm sure you can figure it out for yourself.
Well, the political class was also very easily influenced by the poll numbers showing an easy win for Clinton, look at the HuffPost article
Last I checked, Kotlin plugin isn't installed (in Android Studio) by default. Are you referring to IntelliJ Idea?

I tried to use Scala for Android in the past and I gave up after attempting to set it up for a few hours. Admittedly it was a while back, perhaps things have improved.

Your claim that Scala on Android works fine got me interested again, so I googled around, found that blog post from May this year (that's more recent than my own experiments), and apparently there are still hurdles: http://blog.scalac.io/2016/05/19/reflections-on-starting-and...

With this type of issues the thing that I'm wary about is not getting a "hello world" app to compile once, but that I can get a project up and running, then need to add something else to the equation (say, a DI, or some code processor), and things fall apart again in an X-Files fashion.

I've heard that Scala has long build times, too, but maybe it's a thing of the past as well - no first-hand experience here as I never got to that stage.
#1 Bad pay, stressful environment, long hours, lack of autonomy and recognition.

#2 No raise for three years, new tech lead was clueless and a chronic micromanager, careering colleagues lacking ownership. I saw the company going down in two years and the visit from agile gurus confirmed my fears.
Libertarians of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your bigots. Lets put away national boundaries and show the world that the old order have become obsolete
There are two cases why companies would hire foreigners:

1. Hiring foreign workforce despite big supply of local workforce at certain skill level. It should be mediocre skill level with mediocre salaries because otherwise there would not be big supply of local workforce. The only reason why employer would do this is to reduce expenses for paying salaries. Wages for local workforce will decrease as a result of increased overall supply of workforce (locals + foreigners).

2. Hiring foreign workforce because of very small supply of local workforce at certain skill level. It should be pretty high skill level because demand exceeds supply and employers are willing to go through complicated visa process. Often such companies (like Google) are very hungry for talent and constantly hiring. It means that they would hire both, local and foreigners, anyone who is capable to pass their challenging job interview. Those companies are happy to pay decent salary for those rare talents.

So this is background. Now, I will answer to your questions:

If you cut the cap on highly skilled migrants, then temporarily salaries for highly skilled locals would spike, but in the long term such companies could not grow. As a result of this, some companies would go bankrupt (high tech is risky business, if you can't grow, often it means you will be dead) and some companies would go overseas. So in this case, either locals have less job opportunities in their homeland or they fly abroad to countries who are realized that high quality human capital is everything in global economy of 21th century.
IIRC, the only required part of GTAV was a single introductory mission representing a flashback of two of the main characters pulling off what was seemingly their last heist. Took like 10 minutes to finish. After that, free reign of the city. There are also some non-violent missions you can accept, like filling in as driver for your friend's tow-truck service and repossessing cars. They're actually pretty fun.
Partially the media is to blame and partially the DNC.
They thought they will fare better Clinton than Sanders, even if the voters had other ideas.
Because, frankly? A country that is down with electing somebody who overtly panders to white supremacists is not a country I really want to be in. A country that elects somebody who thinks electrocuting teenagers to cure homosexuality is not a country I really want to be in. I don't need to see what they will do to know what they have done.

I don't intend to move stupidly, and I don't intend to unless I can better my situation--but I wasn't even considering it yesterday, and I am now.
I have/had a Canadian work permit from decades ago when I worked in Vancouver. Dunno what it means now, if anything. I'll have to dig that out. Options.
Schooling in France is definitely not free. Public schools (the ones that are free) represent very little amount of the Masters Degree. Most are private schools and cost ~7-10k euros per year.

Well, some of them will be, but not by choice.
If you don't call them out it doesn't stop them being bigots either. And with Brexit we saw just how much bigots were emboldened by the vote, thinking that it was a validation of their worldview. Hate crime in Briton went up by 60% after Brexit.

It's not that bigotry is a non-issue in these elections, it definitely is, the KKK endorsed a presidential candidate after all. The issue is that there are deeper underlying problems that are being exploited by race baiting politicians to win elections. The problem in pre-Nazi Germany, for example, was a deeply dysfunctional economy and trying to seek a scape-goat for the loss of WWI and the shame and humiliation that caused. Today the problem is largely economic inequality and a lack of economic opportunity and mobility for most people in the bottom half of the wealth distribution. Wages have stagnated while housing, college, and healthcare costs have skyrocketed. The recent recession left a huge crater in the economic histories and career developments of most folks under 30 in the form of unemployment and under-employment. Outside of the cities there hasn't been an economic recovery in the last decade. On top of that you have the opiate epidemic. It's gotten so severe that life expectancies for middle aged folks in middle America took a significant hit (due substantially to increases in suicide and deaths from alcoholism and drug overdose). All of that has nothing to do with gay marriage, Syrian refugees, or increased awareness of police brutality.

But a lot of the people who have been disadvantaged over the last few decades have been able to be convinced by demagogues that the cause of their problems is the elite establishment (especially liberals) and to capitalize on latent feelings of racism, anti-gay sentiment, etc. Make no mistake those bigots are not the entirety of the vote, but they are enough of it to swing the election. More so, as in Britain, there is a huge section of the electorate who may not be intrinsically bigoted per se but is perfectly content to sit around and run in a pack with true bigots and to support candidates and policies that will rollback progress in racial, gender, and sexual orientation equality. Sufficiently advanced indifference to issues of racial equality is indistinguishable from bigotry.

You're right that you can't fix this by calling everyone who voted for these things bigots, almost certainly not. But ignoring that aspect doesn't lead to a good outcome either. It's necessary to fix the underlying economic problems while at the same time maintaining a hard line on driving forward to improve equality, enfranchisement, etc.
500 and 1000 rupees case is very welcome and in this most of them will get caught particularly 1)corruption 2)cricket players & bookies 3)celebrities & politicians 4)Black money & Fake moneys & 7) jewelry shop
Not only this in every government office they should stick the phone number of vigilance ,if any one is asks for the bribe immediate action should be taken. Only then in next couple of years we can proudly say that India is a developed country. Finally I appreciate that Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi for the great job and brilliant move.(Jai Hind)
Yeah, I was meaning 'for loops' to include the modern sense of foreach loops too. Java doesn't distinguish and Kotlin doesn't have the old style at all.

There's no rule that says a for loop must only support a single iteration interface. That seems more like an implementation detail of the compiler than a problem with for loops in general.
Racism - http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-37230916

Sexist - ... Not going to link it - I'm yet to hear Hillary's version of "I can walk right up to men and grab them on the cock". This is a one way street. I actually would struggle to think of any prominent female who would act in the same manner of openly stating they can abuse a person such (and even to try and recant this later)

Vengeful narcissism - Despite being cleared of any charges, he openly alludes to the imprisonment of his opposition: http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/11/03/trump-ril...

Do you acknowledge any of these? Dispute video evidence? The sources?

I am genuinely perplexed you seem to believe there is no evidence, however it seems you have a shifted-goalposts view of what constitutes "sexism" "racism"or "vengeful narcissism".

If you disagree with my post - which is a high probability - can we try a thought exercise?

Describe a scenario that you believe would be scandalous sexism if Trump mete out that act. I am interested to see the threshold that needs to be met to constitute as "sexism" under your rubric.

Come over to NZ, they're rolling out Gigabit to all the cities. I'm on 100mb fiber now, but in a few months should be able to upgrade.
FN is not going to help you with any of the issues you're mentioning. Seriously, I don't even see what FN has to do with your issue with women or lack of recognition. Their program is mainly about France leaving the euro-zone and tougher immigration policies. And arguably, Marine Le Pen's FN is more on the left side than the current socialist party. In any case, you don't have to apologize if you think they represent your ideas.
> Xamarin does not allow to have different layouts generated from shared code

That's true, but noone says or recommends that all the code is shared. Typical Xamarin architecture and good practice assumes sharing the business (or domain) layer, and coding the views separately. In terms of reusability it's still superior in comparison to writing both versions natively. Obviously the level of reuse you can achieve that way very much depends on the nature of the application.

It's not economic reasons. Mostly cultural anxiety.

By definition White Collar jobs are done in offices; so that includes all IT and Call Centers. Blue Collar is manual labor.

It's probably time to proclaim a new color for working class white collars.
And Wales has 3 sides of coast. The coast/non-coast analogy clearly doesn't work in the UK.
> why does globalization seem to disproportionately benefit the coasts?

For starters, most of globalized shipping happens by sea, so logistics and industry will tend to aggregate near the large ports.

There are also less obvious effects: For example, Silicon Valley grew out of a naval base into which the Navy poured a lot of research money.
Maybe you should start to see people as individuals instead of treating them as members of a group and putting all of them into a box labeled "privileged".

Not every white male is part of the "wealthiest, healthiest, most celebrated segment in modern society".
Boaty McBoatface wins poll to name polar research vessel
I'm sure libyans, siryans and iraqui already have one.

But maybe you call for the porn version?
Scotland also isn't cosmopolitan, certainly not on the scale of London. It hasn't had anything close to the scale of immigration that other parts of the UK have had. It has deep seated issues with sectarianism rather than race.

There are parallels with Brexit, though I don't think many of the underlying causes are the same. I very much agree that those who play identity politics and deal in absolutes - "you must agree with me or you are an X" - are being burned an electorate who have heard that line a few times too often.

The election in France with Marine La Pen does have the potential for another Trump like upset - the next one to watch.
Those cookie cutter homes, Wal Mart and strip malls are not an absence of culture... that is the culture.
For the sake preserving educated, civil, and honest discourse on HN, I urge you to re-read what you and the other poster wrote a few times.
That's apples and oranges. On one hand, you have the actions of one person, as part of a team, handed an urgent situation of their predecessor's making. On the other, you have clearly demarcated policy positions, being declared in advance, by someone whom we should fully intends to execute them.
I think the lesson here is that people are tired of anything plain and boring and are eager to vote for something more unconventional.
Dude, turn that comment into a blog post ASAP. It needs a place where it can "live" more permanently
Have you ever spoken to a mental health professional about how you feel?
I recently moved from France to Germany, and the biggest cultural gap so far is that people in here respect traffic lights and using a qwerty keyboard. Otherwise, most people speak English and the lifestyle is similar.
Locally-grown food is generally more expensive in these areas because smaller local farms do not enjoy the same advantage of economy of scale that global distributors do.
> Indians in India have one culture, while Indians in e.g. Britain have a related, but divergent culture.

Really?

What is the 'one Indian culture'? I certainly can't pin down the a supposedly single Australian culture that we have.
> these need way less personnel and happen less openly.

(Nationalistic media and propaganda are just as much an information war as attacks on computer systems. Even if it does sound more like a "misinformation war".)
In Britain, at least, I'm not even sure it's cities vs everywhere else. The large cities of the Midlands and North (Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle) went for Brexit much more than anyone expected. It's more a case of new economy vs old economy. That's not really a surprise is it? People in places that benefit from globalization vote in favour of globalization; people in places that have seen manufacturing or rural jobs vanish in the face of globalization are reacting against these changes. In this light, both Brexit and Trump, which both promise quick fixes, are not really a surprise. Unfortunately there are no quick fixes - as technology increases, so must specialization. There's no going back - that ship has sailed.
I used Threema with my extended family for a while (so not power users). Sign up and (optional!) verification was not a problem. Group management was and ultimately made everybody switch to WhatsApp. Things like "group creator left group, now we must create a new group..." and "identity-only backup means you lose group admin rights".
The Russian revolution marked the start of the revolt against the "fascists and imperialists" and that started in 1917.
Only about half of those voting the general election voted in the primaries. The other half (far, far more than the margin that Trump won over Clinton by) had yet to make their choice known by then.

Further, if Sanders had gotten the Democratic nomination, the debates, issues, and media coverage would have been far different, perhaps even swaying those who had wound up casting an anti-Clinton vote by voting for Trump to instead vote for Sanders.

One other thing to keep in mind that the turnout for Trump may have been much smaller had his opponent not been Clinton.
I've never felt less American than I do right now. The country that voted for a man who has been recorded stating that he sexually assaults women is not a country in which I want to live.
