Physically yes, but it changes attitudes towards how we view our environment and that's refreshing coming from a corp.
When you call people "privileged", what they hear is "you have it too good".

If your life happens to actually truly suck, it's hard to not resent those who want to make it even worse.
I don't understand what you're saying. Are you agreeing with me that your previous statement is wrong?
I don't get it?

As someone who has been on MBP's for the last 7 years I recently jumped ship for 15" Dell XPS with Windows 10 and I am happy I did. However, that is because to me Win10 is now way more appealing than OSX. I hadn't updated OSX since Mavericks because there were exactly 0 new features that interested me. I don't have an iPhone/iPad/iEtc and I don't use the built-in OSX apps and it honestly seems like those two thing are all that Apple has cared about with OSX in recent years.

It wasn't easy to find a laptop with hardware that is acceptable coming from an MBP, it was a short list. But OS wise, Windows 10.1607 is, for me, way better than OSX at this point. IMO OSX feels dated, and toy-like compared to what Win10 has become. I was a heavy terminal user in OSX, like many dev's it was the *nix part of OSX that got me. But now with both the updated command prompt and WSL I don't miss the terminal, period. Also, Win10 virtual desktops already work better than OSX!

> Whites were arrested for 276,460 violent crimes in 2015. Blacks were arrested for 169,612.

Do you think there are the same number of blacks and whites in America?
They quite explicitly said the exact opposite the day after Obama was elected. They didn't just want Obama's policies to fail. They were willing to accept failures that hurt people, so that those people would associate the pain with Obama and vote the other way next time. That's the level of obstructionism I'm suggesting we not pursue.
>One wonders, does anyone there look around and say "What have we become? Are we just clowns here making stuff up? What if we actually tried to tell the truth, maybe just turn the spin level from 9 to a 3 and see what happens... as an experiment"

XKCD's "Sports" comic also applies to the media:

I imagine probably a handful of random KKK members voted for Hillary (there will always be a couple of outliers in any large group), but I don't see what difference that makes. Trump was literally endorsed by the Klan's official newspaper as well as by David Duke himself. This wasn't some random Klansmen voting their conscience — the Klan officially supported Trump and didn't mind having Carson as an ally (why would they? It allows them to say stuff like "How can we be so bad for black people if this black guy is on our side?").

Elm from a Business Perspective
It doesn't even matter.

I do the same calculations simply to figure out if something is worth it.

For instance, laundry. I hate laundry. I could walk 100 steps to the laundromat, pay ~$5 to wash it. Or I could pay someone $15 to walk up to my door, take my laundry, wash it, fold it and return it to my door.

Ehhh... not that hard of a choice. The pain is worth $10.

I used to commute 1.5 hours every day and it was so incredibly painful, so I shopped around and found a cheap(-ish) place close to my work. My life is so much better now and I am much happier.
I think the new MBP seem expensive like everyone else, it I species out a Lenovo Carbon X1. There was a rebate available at the time. But otherwise the price was pretty much the same ... as usual.
I'm gonna help by flagging this thread.
He'll pass the massive tax cuts for the rich. It's a common business practice to cut out the middle man. Why pay for a politician when it's cheaper to just buy an election.

The middle class tax cuts? Not sure, their is a deficit to think of. not sure how that would get through congress.
I doubt it. New CPUs are not going to support LPDDR4 and I highly doubt Apple is willing to make a thinker&heavier machine to cater to a small subset of users. Look at the battery life of XPS 15.
Donald Trump’s Contract with the American Voter [pdf]
Getting US hospitals to use your software is super hard. Majority of them are using Epic, and won't entertain you much if you don't provide Epic integration. And Epic is almost a closed system, they've done their best to make sure that integration with them is almost impossible for small companies.
> Immigration isn't a fake issue. Take a walk around Miami or San Diego. Or New York. Or London. Or Paris. Or Malmö.

What exactly am I supposed to be looking for?
> while Trump blamed immigration and open borders

He also blamed the tax code, claiming many times to have taken advantage of it, and boasting of paying insanely low taxes on his businesses. This was seen as horrible by a lot of the left in this country - proof that "he doesn't want to shoulder his fair share of the burden"- but served as evidence to what a lot of middle America has suspected for years, that the tax increases Democrats proposed to pay for welfare programs weren't effecting the rich and were being paid for by the middle class. (Yes, this is a simplification of the issue.) Trump's 'I broke it and I know how to fix it' approach to the tax code the reason a lot of people who don't trust corporations voted for a tycoon.
Magnificent, he was playing at a whole other level. I can see the twisted parallel.
Everyone claiming that polls or forecasters were wrong should really do their homework and think what 'forecasting' is all about. It is not about predicting future with 100% certainty. It is about calculating odds of outcomes. You can calculate odds of Trump winning and put them at 40%, you can put them at 1% or 90%. In neither of cases you are wrong or right when he wins. Odds of winning are not 'verified' in any way. If you say that there is 50% chance of coin flipping on tails you are not wrong when it flips on head.
> Describing the presidential campaign, Mr. Thiel said it was "between one candidate who says everything is more or less fine, or it’s as good as it can be. And then another one who says we’re on the Titanic, it’s about to sink. And so I prefer the second one."

Because saying that we are about to sink will attract more votes? So Thiel goes with Trump because he thinks he will win, not because he thinks Trump would be the better president? So Thiel knows where to invest his money?

That's one way of looking at the presidential election, I guess.

You expect to have four usb-c/tb3 displays, but none of them to provide power to your laptop?

If you want a hub, plug in a usb-c hub that provides power and it will power the laptop.

Do people even read about how things work before they make up crazy scenarios to justify their outrage?
Shouldn't it negotiate with the Source using its Cable Identifier and simply provide 60W (20V @ 3A) maximum to the MBP? So a slow charge, but not dangerous?

Has anyone tested this scenario in real life? I'd imagine that if the machine is idle, 60W would at least provide break-even, and in sleep, should be able to charge it. But that's assuming that the identity negotiation works properly with this hardware combination.
> I think most people would agree "ObamaCare" is a disaster.

Except that people like a lot of the individual provisions of Obamacare, like no denying based on pre-existing conditions, kids staying on parents' health insurance until they're 26, etc.

It just doesn't do much to control costs. The current healthcare system has neither a single-payer forcing hospitals to keep costs down, nor much in the way of market incentives to keep costs down (since most people pay for healthcare indirectly via health insurance, and even that is controlled by their employer).
It would be nice if it worked for more than 2-3 messages at a time.
Some of us don't have Reddit histories we'd be ashamed of others seeing.
How do you compose update functions without writing the boilerplate let ... in for every Msg? How do you stop your main update function from growing endlessly as you add new Msgs?

You need only look in the standard library for examples of boilerplate and not-DRY code. The map function is implemented separately for Lists, Arrays, etc.

I really want to love Elm. But the more I wrote it the more I realised that the only answer to those questions is that you solve them with boilerplate and brute force. When I ask the community what the solution is I'm largely ignored or told it's not a "real" problem.
Fending for yourself is part of the American spirit. Pioneers, astronauts, immigrants, self-made businessmen, and even the founding fathers started from square one, survived great hardship and tough losses, and rose above it all. Lots of people get by just fine without health insurance.

Not to mention that (A) employees in the US often have employer-provided health insurance; (B) many who live in the middle of nowhere are covered under medicare, medicaid, veteran's benefits, children's programs, and state programs; and (C) people who really depend on health insurance, ie those with big families or no savings, can still go out and buy it from a private company.

It's not like people are sitting on the side of the highway in Appalachia, dying of appendicitis and the flu.
It is consistently true that any writeup that says "Blockchain" (capital B, no article) will be somewhere between wrong and not-even-wrong.

I commend to you “Ignoring Blockchain Is Corporate Suicide: Why Blockchain is the biggest single threat to all CEOs for destroying corporate value” by Nick Ayton, in analyst newsletter Innovation Enterprise (7 July 2016). In the several years I’ve been following Bitcoin and blockchains, this is the single worst, stupidest and most incoherent piece of “Blockchain” hype I’ve seen; you definitely need to read it, to inoculate yourself against the worst excesses of this foolishness.

Ok, my mistake, I live in those areas and have never heard it used in a derogative manner - I'll check it out though and change if needed.

I would have said suburbs but that wasn't quite right as there are decent sized towns and cities encompassed in the area I am talking about but whom OP was using to claim that Newcastle voted leave when it didn't - it was the surrounding towns and cities that did.
Dells are great as far as Linux support. I have an Inspiron at work and a Dell XPS 13 at home, but run Linux natively. I was kinda surprised everything worked on the first try .. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, extra displays on the docking station .. the works.
So every country should manufacture all their own stuff? Why does that make any sense?

And what happens to the cost of goods once everything is manufactured in the US, paying workers a living wage? In increase in the price of all products hurts the poorer and middle classes the most.

And what happens when more and more automation takes over? Then all the import tariffs in the world will be of no help to the welders and sewers you chose to let stagnate instead of improving their access to education and training.
They enjoy awkward meetings?

4MB is an incredible amount of Javascript. All of underscore is less than 6kb, jQuery is less than 70kb. Both of those libs fill out the "standard" library needs of most websites.
Yes under 40k or so income insurance is free with no copay. Varies state by state etc.
Your statement does not provide support for their being a silent majority for Trump. But I hope people consider what you said when someone talks about how Hillary or the media or whatever is part of the corrupt "Establishment".
> ...if every time I make a post I have a dozen people calling for my family to be raped and murdered

Try using it for a month and make the same argument.

I have posted ~5000 tweets in the last couple of years. I can guarantee you that neither me nor my family ever got threatened with rape and murder.

This is an issue, but those affected are exceptions, not the rule.

Are banker's drafts the same thing as money orders? That's how I paid my cars; they are worthless if stolen (though if you lose them, the money's gone) because only the recipient can convert them back. Banks give them out for the same cost as withdrawing cash, which is a few euros.
> You think it's a victory for the republican party?

Clearly so. It's perhaps, within the party, a defeat for sone establishment figures in terms of relative internal influence, but clearly the absolute and total lock on all organs of federal power they've secured is a major victory for the party.

And it's not like the party establishment suffered major reverses, either. Had Trump won despite the Republicans losing the Senate or facing unexpectedly large loss of seats in the House, that might be a different story.
Asking you to write code that's basically right is sort of stupid, but not that bad. Asking for syntax-perfect code is just stupid hazing; ideally you'll have a good interviewer that wants to see how you solve a problem.

If you have issues with these kinds of interviews here's my advice: write tests on the whiteboard, and explain you'll run the tests on the code after first pass. That way you don't get nitpicked to death over typos or simple mistakes, and you look like a careful programmer.

Okay but streaming content is a read operation, not write.
The media contributed directly to Clintons failure. There was no subtlety in their approach, the message was clearly biased against Trump and collusive with the establishment to push a candidate who was clearly tainted. Had Clinton taken a different more honest approach she would have trounced Trump. As it was, she could not and did not; she is an agent of large corporate interests

People dont like being told what to do. They are sick and tired of public servants who have transmogrified into Lord- of-the-Manor type personalities and not just in America. Watch out as more establishment candidates fail across the world in the next couple of years.

In MN the Secretary of State makes data files (mostly csv) available to media outlets.

I've no idea of what your doc requirements are, but if you don't have any real plans for the data, stick it in a cost effective format that requires little to no maintenance but that can be read by multiple systems. Say parquet or avro for example.

I assume you don't have someone/some system 24/7 pouring over the data so you could look into hosted notebooks like databricks, qubole (and gleaning from people I met at a recent conference any of the bazillion that are about to launch), or host zeppelin yourself or use AWS EMR.

And don't lose your source data for that moment when you do figure out what you want to do with the data and you realise you need to reformat it.
They agree fully on criminal justice reform and the removal of money from politics, at the very least. If I recall correctly, their stances on government surveillance are similar as well.
> The people getting more than they put in are parasites; the people getting less than they put in are suckers.

You're describing the same people at different stages in their lives.
This is exactly my interim solution if Apple ever gets back into the high-end laptop game again in the near future; it turns into my next solution if Apple declines that market for the foreseeable future. I'm tooling agnostic by now; this is my sixth switch between Apple and non-Apple solutions in my computing lifetime. Open Source is taking an ever-greater chunk of my applications portfolio because it is a more stable platform to format my work and skills in than other commercial choices.

While Windows' laptop user experience is not nearly as polished as macOS', it is good enough that I can grit my teeth and suffer through it. And as noted elsewhere, for lighter workloads (which still comprise a plurality of my daily work) the Mac laptops are quite sufficient to the tasks.
> Windows's Virtual desktops are no worse than MacOS's.

Bit late but just to chime in on this, to my knowledge on Windows 10 you cannot:

- Save desktop arrangement so your setup persists through shutdowns.

- Assign apps to specific desktops so they always open straight on that desktop.

- Assign keyboard shortcuts so you can jump to specific desktops rapidly without sliding through or using the mouse, e.g. ctrl + 1-9.

If you can do any of these, then I would be genuinely grateful to hear how as I'm evaluating returning to windows as my main OS. Without these Windows virtual desktops are more of a proof of concept and are lacking the tools needed to make them actually useful and productive.

> Windows 10 has native PDF support.

All of my PDF's seem to want to open in Edge by default, which is a web browser. On macOS they open in preview, or quick look.
WebGL is enabled in Chrome by default. WhitestormJS is compiled with babel (and examples are too). I'll check if it works on safari in the nearest time. Thanks for report!
This! I mean, it's not full of every feature and every performance optimization, but you know what? It is still the best tool for the job.
It would match up quite well with a party platform based on decentralization of power. Libertarian at the federal level, Republican for large states, Democrat for small states and big cities / metro areas, and liberal for small cities or towns.

This would allow for a lot of social services, but keep them more localized, so they can serve the population better and be held more accountable.

And it would avoid a lot of the problems with big government at the federal level.
It's not just Trump, the entire government is seeing red. The Republicans have control of the House, Senate, Presidency, and they will take control of the Judicial branch as well. It's a conservative wet dream.

In four years, we'll either have a 1-party system or an N-party system.
USB type-C/Thunderbolt 3 is a fantastic technology, but I guarantee you that USB type-A devices will still be around by the time these new USBC-only MBP's are replaced. Embracing the future at the expense of the present is not innovative or courageous, it is intentionally designed to sell more accessories.
I've seen speculation that it's about forcing Intel's custom driver which supports some nonstandard power management features.

One speech does not make a person. Based on his long history his conciliatory tone will be short lived.
In the worst case, the citizens can simply deny attempts to, for example, develop on a national park by sitting on the park. See: the pipeline protests from the last 2 months.

Yes, it shouldn't come to that. Yes, that means abandoning jobs, income, etc and hanging out in a field for god knows how long. But, well, things aren't hopeless.

I made myself depressed writing that comment.
Good tip, I also thought this was about some kind of SSD reliability testing done by their engineers.
So you mean political suicide like being elected for 4 more years?
It's not completely impossible to imagine a tool like this using webrtc to have people video chat/discuss issues together. I'm not sure how we incentive users to actually use the tool and remain respectful - but maybe celebrities or cultural shifts would make people feel obligated to talk with those of differing opinion.
>I have been burned by this in the past.

Poor choice of words, douche.
"The best deal available" isn't necessarily "the best possible deal".
I'm sure there was a post on linux-ide in the same vein. It's frustrating because my XPS 13 is also affected.
Those 52 hours of "work" can buy you a home, neighborhood and school district your children, spouse, (and you) enjoy living in. Whether or not those 52 hours are worth it is up to each family.
My Sony a6000 has Wi-fi built in. It's a bit of a pain to set it up (entering a password via a control wheel), but it's there and you could create a workflow with it from Camera to Laptop to your Editor during an event.
"You've also got a top marginal personal income tax rate approaching 60% which is nearly twice that of the US and political suicide."

That's only true if you count Federal Income Taxes alone. By the time you're done with Social Security, Medicare, state and city taxes (esp in NY, CA), the top marginal tax rate here approaches 50%.
I don't think this comes from the corp, but from an individual (who just happens to be most famous for running a corp).
