Silicon Valley is about to put a third of Americans out of jobs, and rather than having the entire bay area sacked and pillaged Trump has somehow managed to shift the blame onto immigrants and minorities.

Science under President Trump
All the dissident views about polls being outright wrong were met with disbelief when it was clear to anyone who looked that they were blatantly off. Mainly to create social proof to vote Clinton.

You know, after the debacle that was the Bush vs Kerry election, there were widespread allegations by Democrats of voting fraud on the part of the Republicans -- especially in respect to electronic voting machines. For some months after the election, the Democrats made a lot of noise about those electronic voting machines, trying to get them removed. After a few months, they apparently seemed to forget all about it.

When the next election rolled around, when Obama won, they didn't make a peep about the electronic voting machines, which were still in use, nor about the possibility of voting fraud. Neither did the Republicans. Nor did anyone mention these issues in the following election, when Obama won again. It was only Trump speaking up about it which brought the issue back in to the news. But the possibility of massive voting fraud has been there all along, and will continue to be there for the following elections, as long as electronic voting machines are still in use.

Now, why does the mainstream of both the Democratic and Republican parties permit these machines to continue to be used? That's a very good question. The consipracy minded might speculate that they might have an agreement between them, and that US elections have become simply political theater, with the real decisions as to who gets to hold office being made through other means, and by people other than the voters.

Do you mean that even if Clinton would have won the election, you would still have been shocked? Because even if she did win, Trump could have won, as many pollsters predicted he has a double-digit chance of winning?

(probably government-funded research)

I see your point about bias being present in grants distribution, but there is no better way that is apparent. Too liberal, and you waste money on useless research. Too conservative, and you stifle important research that has no immediately marketable use. Scientific grant administration is difficult. As to government employees being in charge of grant distribution, who else should perform this function? Where else would the funding come from? The U.S. is a world leader in scientific research due to its generous (in comparison) funding.
Not sure if it's implemented in superdom but:

for(i = 0; i < dom.class.<class>.length; i++) {
console.log(dom.class.<class>[i].<attr>);
}

The DOM API isn't consistent, and that's what I hate about it.

Compare:

Creating an element:

var newDiv = document.createElement("div");
body.appendChild(newDiv);

Deleting an element:

var element = document.getElementById("element-id");
element.parentNode.removeChild(element);

Why does an element know how to remove its children but not itself?

Superdom:

delete dom.id.element-id

Sure, there are some edge cases and roughness here, but its a library, not something curated and argued over by the various browsers until something roughly compliant appears.

Is Silicon Valley corrupted?
Yea, this is a very misleading use of the word exploit. Especially given the wariness of Telegram usually expressed on HN.
I'd probably follow up on talking with your buddy. It's often invaluable to get an outsider's feedback on how others look at our code.

From what you typed, it seems like there wasn't a lot of communication prior to doing the coding exercise. I'm also not aware if you had channels to ask questions or discuss technical design options. If available, those are often "part of the test", to see if you make use of such resources.

When I'm reviewing code in such scenarios I'm often looking for other indicators aside from the code's correctness. Things like: naming conventions, structure of the code, patterns used, how over-engineered it is. Just as important is seeing if the candidate picked up on less explicit instructions or hints in the coding exercise. Finally, I look for code that follows the conventional patterns and standards for that programming language; I expect a candidate to discuss with me the deviation from those standards prior to handing in the code.

Anyways, I wouldn't completely give up. This might be an opportunity to grow and learn, but you'll never know unless you follow through on asking your buddy. Likewise, I've seen people here on HN volunteer to review code and provide feedback.
That couldn't be more wrong if you tried. Not to mention, you're assuming that people need the job. It's the other way around. The company needs the engineers. Much more than the engineers need the jobs.
"Alibaba, Amid Intense Hype, Confronts a Slowdown on Singles Day"
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/11/business/international/ali...
.001 of a years worth of minutes is 525 minutes (.001 * 525600) or about 8 hours and 40 minutes. If all of that time just so happened to occur on the $1B day then that's 356 million. Of course this is back of the napkin. That $1B is not evenly distributed throughout the day and especially in high availability systems the .001 downtime is many small outages over the entire infrastructure and not the entire apparatus crashing all at once. Though because load can be a factor in downtime, they are not completely without correlation.

Trump won because democrats didn't vote. Look at the voter turnout for 2008 and 2012 and tell me nominating Hillary wasn't a huge mistake.

The DNC has no one to blame but themselves.
The uncertainty is worse for highly regulated industries, like financial services. It's unclear what will happen with Dodd-Frank, FRTB, DOL fiduciary rule, etc. This has potentially large, adverse impact on consulting and RegTech firms - customers prefer a "wait & see" approach where costs and decisions are deferred during periods of regulatory uncertainty.
If you visit r/the_donald today, you'll see a lot of this sentiment. I think it's been easy to forget that regardless of political identity, most of us agree on a lot of things.

Like anyone in power, he should be held to account, and held to his promises. At least we can look forward to the media actually challenging the powers that be in the years ahead.
I believe educating yourself about things you are exposed to is the way out of the bubble. If you understand how things work underneath, you see them very differently, you see who is trying to do what and not what is presented to you.

Do you read news? Do you listen to what government officials and politicians say and take them seriously? Do you have some trust in law enforcement, in governments, in CEOs and corporations? You shouldn't. Learn about power, influence, state actors, coups, revolutions, media, propaganda, PR, etc. This is the escape you are looking for.

How to Avoid Bad Terms That Kill Startups
When you see a political post do you tend to interact with it? Do you interact more with personal uplifting stories? Your feed tends to contain the sort of things you interact with to the exclusion of the sort of things you don't.

This is an extraordinary claim, can you back this up in some way? I'm not from Italy or France so it isn't common knowledge to me.
Yep, that should have said "plasmon". I messed up all of my comments on this thread. A plasmon isn't technically light either, it's an oscillation of the electric field in a conductor -- but it has wave/particle duality like a photon.

Is anybody using Atom on Linux? The last time I tried, there was an issue where each time the cursor was moved horizontally, its displayed position and actual position would diverge a bit so that after a minute or two of editing a file you couldn't tell where you were typing. I believe it was a known (upstream?) issue at the time but that was obviously a deal breaker.

So... how long is it going to take, specifically?
Our media, government and education systems are corrupt.
It seems to me they are shooting themselves in the foot with this AMA.

The person answering the question is showing a lot of contradictions in how they don't think anyone should control information and then goes and say they control how and when to release stuff for maximum impact.

That's pretty scary because it shows that they can manipulate what is to be released or not, depending on their own interests.

Like claiming they don't have a goal to support a candidate but made sure to time the release of stuff against Hillary for "maximum impact". That's BS.
Yes, they do. Click my link, and click "Popular Vote" tab. They are projecting him as the winner. She is winning currently, but he is the projected winner.
You replied to a comment about how Tom Brokaw literally said on national TV that Trump voters were uneducated racist rednecks that watch Duck Dynasty. In that reply, you defended his position. That's where I'm getting it from.
I think that it was at that point a long time ago.
The main point of polls is to influence and give social proof to selected candidate.

Don't believe me? When you look how they are constructed it becomes clear. Too bad for Clinton campaign she was highly unlikable and even the most expensive campaign in history couldn't help her.

As an Eagle Scout and former Army officer, one of my enduring life lessons has been "false motivation is better than no motivation."

When you're cold, wet, and tired it helps to pretend you love it. It's infectious, too.

It is actually a good feeling when you realize you're not as fragile as you thought you were. "I would have thought that I'd be miserable in this situation, but I'm actually OK" is a good thought to have.
I absolutely love go, it made my life and projects way better in many ways.

I'm a former C++ dev. I've made repeated attempts to learn Rust over the last few years. I now feel like I'm capable of building things with much effort and frustration and constant Googling, but with a small fraction of the effort. By comparison, I got to the same point in Go in an afternoon.
I think it is important to be unbiased but I think that Facebook and Twitter were harmful to discourse this election and they probably could do much better while staying similarly unbiased. Also I think part of the problem is that many people view Trump as a crazy person which (he was a major proponent of the idea that Obama was born in Kenya, he thinks that vaccines cause autism, and he once tweeted that global warming was a hoax perpetrated by the chinese), so honestly I think it would be weird if Twitter and Facebook didn't contemplate their role in all of this.
I'm not American either.
I'm French, living in the UK, and the figures are probably not very different here.
> Anyone who actually spends any amount of time in the political sphere where SJW run rampant is aware of this.

I have been reading up on politics or engaged in political discussion online for maybe ~4 hours daily for the past two years. I have never seen "SJW" used non-pejoratively, and I've never seen anyone own the term and apply it to themselves. Not saying you're wrong, but it's not nearly as common as you're pretending.
It's more concise, but certainly not more readable. You lose a few seconds writing it the second way. It's fine.
>So my view is that they have no incentive to give the UK a good deal.

Right.

>This does not imply the UK should have remained

It probably implies that we shouldn't have thrown a temper tantrum without having a strategy.
Yes.

As for timing, it takes a few hundred attoseconds.
See http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v436/n7049/full/nature0.... Under 1 quadrillionth of a second is, for most purposes, instantaneous. Which is why you were told it was instantaneous. But it is now a measurable process.

The timescale that we are talking is what it takes light to travel a micrometer or so. Which is about the size of the smallest bacteria.

Feels like a lot of middle wealthy left leaning people don't see what the reality is for most everyone else.

Also, Trump was offering hope, Clinton was offering nothing but staying the same.

I get the sense that the American economy is bad for most people, Trump talked about that, he said it was a problem. If you were watching mainstream news all you heard was about how great everything is and how it should stay the same.... That is simply not what many people think or feel.

The country is mostly red. Even though Clinton got 200k more votes I'm sure you can see why the the electoral system is in place.

There is still 4 million votes that are being counted. Projection even from CNN is that Trump wins the popular vote.

I've been using Atom for almost a year in Ubuntu and OS X without this problem.
No. I dont do anything on facebook at all, i just happen to scroll through my feed every other week when i just went online to contact one of the few people that i cant reach otherwise.

I really see where you are going, and i see that we all are in our personal Facebook bubble. But my point stands that Facebook simply does not have the same relevance at here that it seems to have in the U.S. People here read news, many even young, read actual newspapers. There is not so much place for facebook in a system that already works.

And before someone asks, yes our newspapers are heavily favoring too. But thats not the point.
48% of the country voted for him, not a surprise to see his supporters represented in any group with 2 or more people.
more than prophetic, was this actually published in 2010? it almost seems like a blueprint!
I would say the effect is not that strong since, as I said, it changes hands quite often. Besides, it's not like Democrats don't use the practice to their advantage whenever they gain control of a state legislature. I would prefer they both stop the nonsense and base it on county lines.

>> The Senate can't be Gerrymandered but a lot of people argue it's not fair for California and New York to have the same level of Senate representation as North and South Dakota.

Only from people that don't understand how Congress works. Making the Senate more fair for large states against small states just turns it into another House of Representatives. Which, of course, favors one party over another which I'm sure is the basis for the argument.
I think the concept of having a single person - President, being head of the country is outdated.

We do not need a President. This ancient concept has to go. We have congress, senate, house of reps, judges, courts. Enough to make decisions and develop policies.

There would be less drama without President in America.

I read that as vegan rights or animal rights...
Handmade Hero very explicitly has the opposite goal. Calling it stupidity in that context is extremely asinine.
It's easy to forget the massive leaps that we've made in computing technology in the last 30 years... In 1983, $1000 wouldn't even buy you a 5 MB hard drive - a hard drive, by the way, that was roughly the size and weight of a brick. A year later in 1984, Apple Macintosh 128k retailed for $2500. If the technology had actually existed to build this phone in 1983, I imagine the cost would have been in the six figure range, at least.
You seem to be focusing on papers that usually endorse Democrats. Of course it is not surprising that their endorsements did not sway many voters.

I think that the important point, though, is that there are also a lot of newspapers that usually endorse Republicans, and far more of those went for Clinton this time than Trump.

Wikipedia has a nice sortable table here [1], showing endorsement, circulation, and who the paper endorsed in 2012. Sort it by 2012 endorsement, and scroll down to the Romney endorsements

Variational Lossy Autoencoder
Amazingly Good Political Advertising – That Won the Popular Vote
And people forget the measurement tolerance of the voting system itself. If Clinton's popular vote margin over Trump is 200,000 votes out of 60M votes cast for each (in round numbers that I've heard quoted) that is probably not within the bounds of expected error or variance.

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, and this won't be comprehensive but here are some bad ideas

1. A me too idea

food delivery service for san francisco #5978978974
another online payment app like the 5 you have downloaded
pretentious chat app #749857987

As someone ramping up through vetting stages of successful founders to pitch to VC firms, and reading their feedback, they are so tired of me too ideas, and san francisco solving san franciscos own app problems. There multibillion dollar industries living off off excel files with almost zero people who know sql much less the structure of their own databases, but people dont want to innovate in those industries because its not sexy enough. Even VCs are like please stop if I hear about one more chat app today...

When an industry is overfunded inefficient and bad ideas can get funded too, as people pointed out in the .com crash alot of companies died, including people selling cat litter bags online, way before amazon prime existed or any type of optimized shipping or payment plan. People were just selling things online because they could, even if it was not more economical or beneficial for the customer.

Those ideas died off, and good too, because we were able to hone in on real economic problems or set backs and focus on providing those solutions

and we need that to happen again. Everybody needs to stop trying to be paypal and facebook and look at the other problems out there to solve, because there is alot, so I just have little sympathy for people who are failing with their me too ideas.

Now whether any of Trumps policies result in that or not I do now know nor am I educated enough to have an opinion on. Reading Goldman Sachs and UBS wealth management reports this morning post election, alot of details remain to be seen based on his appointments, which people have little idea of at this point, as he is such an outlier even in his own party and has been abandoned by much of it.

But it is true Silicon Valley has been expecting a bubble bust for months now, and that is clearly documented on almost every tech forum I read, so immediately

1. Blaming any outcomes on Trump is just inconsistent with the Valley's own prediction for itself

2. Not necessarily a bad thing
You make these statements as if they are a certainty.
If you would step from the echo chamber for just a moment, perhaps you might see that many of the accusations thrown at the Republican candidate were trumped up by the media. I'm optimistic that he's not half as bad as CNN would lead us to believe.
Agree, in the stamp movie genre, it's easily top 10. :)
