The left is more than the ACLU. I think the ACLU is generally pretty consistent.

You're afraid of a prayer hanging up? A student, who does not even believe in God, finds it offensive? Should the Bible not be in a library either? That's hardly "shoving it down your throat".

Nobody has the right to force children to pray in school or stand for the national anthem either. You'll never be forced to go to mass. The US has 280 M Christians, that would have happened a long time ago.

It sounds like your fears are more that your children will see things differently from you. I get that, but in this current world, I don't see how you can objectively think that your children becoming practicing Christians is a top concern for their health and well-being.

I went to a private Catholic school for high school and we had non Christians there. One of my friends was Pagan and one was Muslim. We had religion class. One teacher did Hail Marys. They weren't forced to do anything Christian. They had to learn about Christianity but nobody was trying to convert anyone by any means. Their parents weren't concerned they would jump to the other side because that's the whole point of parenting. You mold them a bit but ideally let them think for themselves as they'll be on their own someday.

I've been to different religious services: Greek Orthodox, Native American rituals, and also to Bat Mitzvahs and other events outside my sphere. It's good to learn about other people's beliefs and cultures. We shouldn't be afraid of it.
You don't need (federal-level) politicians to change this! The constitution is a wonderful thing. There is a process for amending it that bypasses Washington completely. Maybe we should put it on the table.
I agree that maybe those presidents would not have been necessarily bad. Maybe, if Dole would have won, G.W. Bush would have never been elected, and the world would now be a very different (and better) place.

I think malleable politicians are malleable because they try to benefit the largest section of the population that they can. Conservatives, lately, have focused on benefiting a very small segment of the population directly, expecting the benefits to trickle down.

However, the trickle down has not worked. I know very little about economics, but, I remember, headlines in newspapers eight years ago were mainly about unemployment, and the growth of the National debt. The euro was $1.30 (now it buoys around $1.10).

I think the American economy is much better now than it was eight years ago, and a larger section of the population has benefited from that, than when principled conservatives were in the government. (And this is just from an economic point of view, which is a small part of the benefits).
Yeah buddy, I don't know where you live, but I grew up in northern Manitoba, lived in Winnipeg, and in other parts of rural southern Manitoba. I have family throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan, and on the east coast. They have been following, promoting and loving Trumps message. If you don't think Trumps message resonated with blue collar folks in Canada, you better break out your filter bubble and take a look around, and think about what you want the political landscape of the country to look like after the next election.
>Can't put solar panels on my apartment roof.

That's pretty small relative to the extra energy consumption from having to commute farther, and the land that you might live on could be used for solar power regardless of whether you live there.
If people are so generous over there, why the need to put that burden to government and instead make funds so people can use what they need, and if a fund goes into corrupt hands you can always create a new one and vote with your wallet.
"Average Joe's" don't put $2000+ in a laptop.

Markarian 1018: Starvation diet for black hole dims brilliant galaxy
By the way, if you want to be 300% ahead of your peers, get that remote job, sell your house, close your bank accounts in Canada, and seek non-resident status. Travel the world and bank that extra $70000 a year that would have gone to taxes. Ten years doing that and you can probably retire.

Speaking as someone who did that, and is amazed that it doesn't occur to more people. It's not for everyone, probably most people can't just up and move, their spouse likely can't get a job elsewhere that easily, and there is the question of what to do for the kid's education. If you're single though, you're crazy to stay.
> They seem to use church as a way to get as many votes as possible while balancing between many political options

Well, it's a conservative party in a mostly catholic country. What else would they be doing? You just described the most reasonable political strategy such a party could employ. I really fail to see how this constitutes "corruption" by any definition of the term.

It's also funny how they're being interchangeably accused of being inflexible, diehard fanatics consumed by ideologies - and at the same time, "balancing between options" every time they aren't totally rigid but pragmatic about something. Fanatics! And sell-outs! Rinse and repeat :)

> Just keep in mind that it's PiS that passed the recent police surveillance law, so they don't look so good in terms of comparison to "dismissing any voices of discontent as mere frustration (or worse)"

But, while deserving criticism, this was actually the legislation started by the previous government. Which granted extra powers to several agencies (NIK, revenue), used anti-terrorist squads for arresting bloggers in their homes (the "Antykomor" case), tried to censor the internet access etc.

Yet the mainstream media didn't make a big deal out of it back then; neither did the EU nor its affiliates. Why? Because they had the backing of main EU countries. And why did they have it? Because unlike Law and Justice, they were fully submissive to international corporations who finance political campaigns in Germany, in France etc. That's the whole secret. That's all there is to it really. The rest is smokescreen.
I agree that that is unacceptable. Neither stance makes sense to me, but you can be proud of a heritage or culture, but having a particular color of skin doesn't make you automatically part of any culture...it has to do with upbringing or adoption may be, but birth race really has nothing to do with what is a social phenomenon.

If you are proud of being part of a culture, that seems completely reasonable. May be we don't call white culture "white culture," some refer to it as "American culture." Perhaps that's what you want?
No, you're being downvoted because you're wrong.

I suppose in this case I might be wrong. At $200k annual income they are probably well positioned to benefit from his policies, as opposed to his lower income supporters.
This is the kind of action that can have long-term positive impacts. Maybe it won't change the world, and it won't get you Zuckerberg "I'm ending all disease" press, but it's immediately, tangibly beneficial to masses of life. I respect the hell out of this.

> SS7 was in the news earlier this year after a 60 Minutes exposé led to calls for a congressional investigation and a FCC review.

It was? Why didn't I hear about this? I don't remember this coming up on HN. That is interesting that the mainstream media would take an interest in that considering SS7 security was relatively an obscure subject until recently in the tech community.

>> In his letter to FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, Lieu said the flawed SS7 system provides an open door for foreign hackers who want to intercept the private communications of U.S. government officials. https://www.wirelessweek.com/news/2016/08/congressman-urges-...

I don't think there has been enough research into the risks of these mobile networks. Not just from external attack but exploitation by domestic nation states to deploy malware onto peoples phones, mass location tracking, social network modeling, etc.

The amount power these ubiquitous towers provide any nation state with a modern security service and a penchant for secrecy is definitely underrated. Forget all of those quotes from the US founding fathers about gun ownership as a necessary affront to tyranny, controlling the communications networks makes any type of internal non-political rebellion against the state a long lost idea.

>Fundamentally this was an election about identity. Nate Cohn said it best in a tweet last night when he pointed out that working class whites (and not their minority compatriots who share the same economic problems)

I'm not sold on that. I think the main difference is that those economic problems have been felt by minorities their entire lives. Not that it's fair, but that's been the reality for them. So it's not any bigger of an issue this election than any other. But the economic pains felt in the white working class haven't been felt since pre-WWII. They were the middle class of this country but now they are feeling the declines. Even if working class whites are now on somewhat equal footing with other minorities, they've been in decline in comparison to what they had. And that definitely leads to "Economic Anxiety".

I literally spend last weekend in San Diego and saw a very dynamic and happy place. What are you on about ?
The markets proved smart. In contrast to brexit, it seems they had a better hunch than the pollsters. Also, it seems Brexit is still more uncertainty to the markets than Trump.
Sure they are, because i believe you've missed the point by trying to think too simply.

The ordinance only requires AirBNB not charge service fees are people who are unlicensed.

Imagine, instead, LA requires licensing of people who download torrents (much like they are allowed to require that people register illegal weapons, etc, and then charge folks for it).
Then they say "ISP's can do whatever they want, but they can't charge subscriber fees to people who download torrents who have not registered. Doing so is a misdemeanor".

Like I said, you can literally change the words "hosts who have not registered to rent their home" to "people who have not registered to do X", where X is pretty much whatever you want.

(For the curious, here's what you have to do:

Any Owner or Business Entity who rents a Residential Unit for Tourist or Transient Use in violation of this Chapter 41 A, or any Hosting Platform that provides a Booking Service for a Residential Unit to be used for Tourist or Transient Use in violation of the Hosting Platform's obligations under this Chapter 41A, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
Any person convicted of a misdemeanor hereunder shall be punishable by a fine of not more
than $1,000 or by imprisonment in the County Jail for a period of not more than six months, or

> whenever a company comes out with a linux-based "developer edition" laptop, folks don't buy it

> The Dell XPS 13, for example, is a great looking machine - but too many folks were busy buying macbooks to help Dell learn this market segment does indeed want more products like this

Not sure about the why other (potential) Linux users might not buy notebooks such as this, but despite single-booting Linux for the past several years, I wouldn't be any more likely to buy a computer with Linux pre-installed on it because the chances that the computer has a distro/configuration I would want to use is basically zero; if I'm going to have to reinstall Linux and/or configure it from scratch, then the fact that it's specifically marketed as a Linux laptop doesn't really give me anything. I suspect that this might be at least partially responsible for "developer edition" laptops failing, as at least in my anecdotal experience, many people who are looking for an out-of-the-box experience aren't generally inclined to use Linux as their main OS in the first place.
I like your remarks; could I extend them?

If you can run a Republic with little hatred and division, a nifty opportunity opens up if the nomination process proposes wise and respectable candidates. For example I dislike Obamas ideas but I can respect the guy as someone who's not a crook and has a solid brain on his head and a bit of wisdom. So if the guy who agrees with me wins, I'm chill because we have a comfy echo chamber. If the other guy wins I'm a little bummed but I'm still chill because the have a who's wrong about some things, but wise enough to keep us out of complete disaster.

That's the tragedy of not running Bernie. He's respectable and wise and no crook. I voted for Trump and I'm glad he won, but if Bernie won, I'd be chill enough till next time.

Sort of like mate selection, where kids childishly try to find an appropriate gender photocopy of themselves, whereas once you're over a certain age, its more important to find a mate who's wise. Its OK if my wife likes my hobbies when we were young, but now that we're old its OK if she doesn't, because we respect each other and think each other are wise enough that it'll be OK.

This time around I don't think the right could trust Hillary so it was win at all costs. Meanwhile we "have to" social signal the opposite, but the left pretty much trusts Trump because lets face it, if you think he's an idiot or lunatic, make sure you mention your billion dollar self made net worth first to even qualify... lets face it, a guy who's worked successfully side by side with corporations and banks and unions and politicians for decades resulting in a billion bucks can certainly navigate a giant complex country pretty darn well; he's proven over a couple decades that he's wise enough that its gonna be OK, even if you disagree with everything he believes in and everything he's ever said. So I simply don't think the left wanted it as bad as the right.

It fundamentally comes down to you've got one candidate that wants to do to the entire USA what they did to New York, which is pretty darn cool, and another that wants to do to the entire USA what they did to Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Benghazi, ... so obviously one side is a little more motivated than the other.
>Even if you managed to triple the number, you're not making much of a dent in overall employment.

But you don't just offer training for a single vocation as that would be silly.
That might be the traditional Republican platform, but sadly the Republican party is looking anything but traditional these days.

Also, I think the whole "states rights" thing is bullshit. Republicans only favor states rights when those rights run in favor of their positions. Otherwise you wouldn't have things like the Defense of Marriage Act—why should Republicans in Georgia get to decide who Californians can marry?

The other big problem is that certain policies are inherently handled at the federal level. Disregarding foreign policy, immigration and trade are both hot-button issues this cycle and the policies which the heartland voted for are likely to be destructive for coastal cities.
That's just a yardstick for how much it personally sucks (econ: "disutility") for you to go without that extra hour, estimated from your current pay. You could come up with a different value by deriving it a different way[1], but somehow you have to put a value on the time lost for purposes of comparison.

The existence of this opportunity cost doesn't require that you literally be able to put in an extra hour for extra pay.

[1] For example, you could go based on "how much would I pay for an extra hour to spend doing XYZ?"

There's also eye-fi and other options as well. If it's something important for you buy a 6D or another camera that has built-in support.

The thing with camera system is you need to have an idea of what you want to shoot and build your system towards that. The smartphone is a great all-purpose camera, if you're using a SLR/Mirrorless it's because you want to go beyond that.
I think there is a disconnect here, I showed you how you could place a mutable object as a dict key in Python. One which uses the object itself (id() property) for the hash.

> If you want something immutable just put something immutable in.

My point is what do you expect if you do this:

>>> x = (1, 2)

>>> y = (1, 2)

>>> set([x, y])

I would argue that you would expect:

>>> set([(1,2)])

Since x is equal to y. But if you base the hash by default on id, you would get:

>>> set([(1, 2), (1, 2)]) # set([x, y])

Since x and y are different instances (have different id()) properties. I would argue that it's more useful/predictable for built-ins to hash based on content rather than id().

However, you can still hash based on id() but simply creating your own object (as I demonstrated). So you get sensible defaults for built-ins but also the option of hashing mutable objects.
It's the price of having to wait months in order to see a doctor I guess. That is if government thinks you are worth treating and you don't have to resort to medical tourism.
> It's not fair or even accurate to assume that AirBnB listings are less legitimate than "Lease companies."

No, but unfortunately the majority are (at least where I am), and AirBnB has a vested interest in ensuring that they don't have to make sure their listings are legal, and their customers don't care.
yeah after sleeping on it i take it back. trump to me is essentially 1/3 Hitler, 1/3 bernie sanders, and 1/3 orangutan. I think people voted for his 1/3 bernie sanders message for infrastructure, fighting bad trade deals, and fighting the establishment, and stupid wars. This was despite the other 2/3 not because of it. Hillary on the other hand had no reason to vote FOR her only to vote against the 2/3 portion of Trump.
> I'm not sure why people use socialist in a pejorative manner.

Not going to run the history lesson here, but the cold truth is that most of the US isn't into 'progressive' thought, and socialism isn't acceptable to them. Most of the liberals aren't really comfortable with the actual left.

Whether it is or isn't pejorative, what it is, is not something that would be an acceptable thing for a winning candidate in 2016 outside of Seattle, SF, and a few other cities.

I would bet that Bernie would have lost with less than Hillary's EVs if he'd run, on that fact alone.

Anyway. The die is cast, the stamps are being made.
Not parent, but I'm working on a late '13 MBP, 8GB ram.

Yup. It has turned me off to the idea of working in SF. Such a shame too, so many good opportunities.

>> why the race forecasts were so wrong

Because America is not just New York, Silicon Valley, and Hollywood. The media, pollers, and forecasters shared a narrative that they wanted to be true, not one that was actually grounded in investigated reality. We should all take from this experience to seek for truth, the way it is, not the way we wished it could be. Save that for opinion polling.

Anecdotal:

The media was telling me no one in their right mind could side with Trump. Okay. I was watching both candidates online and there would be like 70,000 watching Trump and maybe 3,000 watching Hillary. Personalities like Lady Gaga don't equate to 60,000 people.

Trump had more twitter followers, more FaceBook likes, and more people at his rallies. All the data was there. It is just that the media did not want to report that. And finding out the reasoning behind that ... well, that would be an interesting conversation.

Haha, who is smug now?

But seriously, what I meant is that you _can_ be a racist now. I don't know whether you are, although as a Trump supporter (even a vague one) it's a bit of a worry (certainly Trump supporters seem to be accepting of racism). The point is that having a such an important office held by a racist often means the population follows, previously deplored attitudes and actions become mainstream. When right-wing populists get elected, there's often a surge in xenophobic attacks (verbal or otherwise).

So what I'm saying is, you don't have to worry as much about being derided as a Trump supporter now, because the associated behaviors have suddenly become much more accepted.

It's not all positive. Gun makers Smith Wesson [SWHC, -16.13%] and Sturm Ruger [RGR, -14.44%] down massively on the day as Trump supporters won't be rushing out to take arms against a Democrat government they refuse to recognize.
He is one of the most well-liked candidates of all time, yes. I believe that he would have won an honest primary also.

How did he lose 4 million votes? Most of that can be found in the DNC emails, among other places. There was a huge media campaign smear against him (led by the DNC itself), massive amounts of donations were funneled in ethically questionable manners into the Hillary campaign, stealing money from state tickets. People were hired in a black flag op to discredit his supporters.

I'm sure the list goes further.

However, I do think one of his biggest issues was that he wasn't a member of the team. I saw it first hand at the caucus; members making references to the fact that she was a life-long democrat, as if it was actually important. Republicans certainly got over that quickly.

Still, if the DNC had played fair with Bernie, I think that two million votes flipping isn't so far fetched.
