I'm talking to OP's specific point around siding with Trump. I think the point is that no body on my side understands what matters in terms of motivating the electorate.
I am extremely comfortable with who does and does not take my opinions seriously.
They've probably seen more than one from a diverse set of sources that are all consistent about Amazon's exploitative practices on drivers and people in warehouses. Contracting people out to screw them is standard practice in the low-cost, shipping industry. On warehouse side, they force people to sign non-compete agreements in areas where the many warehouses are about the only decent-paying jobs they can get. Just between those two would make me default against Amazon on a story making them look bad as I already know they're scum.

I actually know someone who I think is an Amazon driver. I'll ask him about it. He's hesitant to talk about whoever he contracts for, though, since they'll fire him if they find out he was source of negative information. There's some kind of NDA or similar policy involved.

I've got a feeling your anger stems from the fact that you're describing what you wish you could do, instead of your actual situation.
Daughter to mom: "Hey mom, this Hitler guy was just elected chancellor who is saying hateful things about Jews! We are Jewish, I'm scared!"

The world is upside down right now.

My example of an analogy would be like taking over a drug house and putting GPS in each shipment, but still allowing the drugs to get sold and consumed.

In the 1990s, Hillary Clinton got the shit kicked out of her by that same corrupt establishment for (a) trying to fix healthcare, and (b) being a woman and having an IQ over 140. (Sexism and racism both have a U-shaped distribution on the economic spectrum, but the top of our society is even more sexist than the bottom.) I'd rather plant a bomb in the Establishment, by electing a closet liberal who's been playing centrist in order to get in, than throw a brick at it and only do superficial damage by electing a political naif who'll surround himself by right-wing psychopaths.

Rudy Giuliani, Newt Gingrich, and Peter Thiel are categorically not what this country needs. I wish we had given Hillary a chance. If she had turned out to be an Establishment hack, we could fire her in 2020.
This is an important point people dismiss too easily. If the campaigns would have had to focus on popular votes, they would have been run differently. Trump would have given more time to California and Hillary would have campaigned more in Texas, for example.

It's obviously impossible to say what the outcome would have been, but the campaigns definitely would have optimized differently.
I have never heard these kind of things spoken in a men's bathroom. We obviously are using different ones.
> I believe the evidence I've seen that this was true is sufficient to support my opinion

I assume you're not talking about the "fired with prejudice" claim here because you'd be directly contradicting Zeifman's own words. But if you are, can you show us this evidence?
> But more often than not

Simply not true. More often than not you'll get static binaries. And if the software is supported by a commercial team, any dependencies on your supported platform are already tested and working.
Food for thought for people reading the above: if a pregnant woman has a cardiac arrest, you have 3 minutes to decide if you are going to perform an emergency Caesarean section to save the child's life, or else you kill it too.

I slept on it and would like to double down on the sentiment that one bright spot of a Trump administration might be the opportunity to hurl Newt Gingrich into space, with great velocity. Perhaps he could be the first American to attempt an exploration of the surface of the sun.
That one is great. Never give up, never surrender.
It's a challenge for an employer to support or train a junior developer remotely, which is probably why these jobs are harder to find.
They do exist though. I started out working remotely and loved it, but I know I would have grown my skill set much more quickly had I been around experienced developers during that first year on the job.

This would go against the ideas of being able to go to Vancouver on a whim, and finding things as they were left,

This demographic could not care less, this does not factor in their decisions.

Flash was great for banging out prototypes super quickly, thanks to its built-in graphics and animation support. I miss it.
"“I would refer you to public documents on the Playpen investigation, in which we seized and operated a darkweb child pornography site for a period of less than two weeks,”

That reads to me like yes, they were running the fully operational CP sites and allowing it to continue to serve up CP.

The ends do not justify the means.

ANd nobody has raised the question of how this can actually be done legally - under current law is there a way to make the serving up of CP content a sufficiently grey area that it's permissible to do with only judicial approval?

If not, seems to me the individuals managing the site for the window of federal operations have the potential to be in a whole mess of trouble.

If so, that seems a thing that should be fixed.

Long Polling Fallbacks Are Dead – Let’s Bury Them
I think that "if we don't do it, the reds will get there first" is not a good argument in an ethical debate. Maybe the argument that right now people are suffering because they can't walk or have some other affliction whose cure requires animal testing carries more weight.

That is not what the word "bigotry" means.
He said he would renegotiate NAFTA, pull out of the TPP, and do something nebulous involving labeling China as a "currency manipulator".

Earlier in his campaign he said he was going to introduce tariffs as well, but I guess that statement didn't count since it's no longer in his "Contract with the American Voter".

These are all strategies to add economic friction to importing foreign goods.

Then he has his immigration push to block importing cheap labour from abroad.

The end result is that American manufacturing and farming done by American citizens will see some improvement but at the expense of the economy as a whole.

I'm not sure if he or his advisers really think of the manufacturing decline as a logical advance of shipping technology. When framed that way, they seem like luddites tearing down the cotton mills. But the platform is definitely not as illogical as everyone makes it seem.
Exactly. I wasn't sure if I should bother because usually on HN I'm alone on this. But for example Germany has very strict rules in this respect, maybe even more so than Russia, and I don't hear anyone calling it censorship.
But if most customers buy all those games anyways, why should they change their methods?

If Windows sells, why should you make Linux?

If iPhones sell, why should you make Android phones?

If gasoline cars sell, why should you make electric cars?

Because we can do better. Because we should do better. And even if we do not - we force the orignal versions to be improved or lose their market share. We push boundaries by improving upon existing products. Frankly, I cannot enjoy games that put form before function.

That depends: do they typically bust the buyers after they've bought real drugs and already used them? It's all fake bags of white powder that never get used, yeah?

For me this sort of hinges on whether actual child pornography was distributed (and then, i imagine, consumed and re-distributed by pedophiles) in the name of making a bust.
Well said.

Trump is able to say things that others cannot. He can speak freely.

In corporate politics, the biggest killer is people not being able to speak openly which creates a toxic back stabbing atmosphere.

You can see this in the Clinton Foundation from the leaked emails.
First, maintenance fees are very low compared to legal action, and independent of whether the patent is worth $10 or $10B (or you believe it does). So is is entirely unlike a property tax.

> The problem with liability being < assessed values is then what's the incentive to work for a licensing deal?

If you upload a song you like, and tax has been paid for it as worth $100,000 that year, (which would be $1000/year), and you can license it for $1, then - yes, you have an incentive to license it for $1, because you are otherwise liable for as much as $100,000 (but not more[0]).

Think this is stupid? Because under the current law, you are liable for $150,000. That's what the law says, anyway.

[0] Except for e.g. willful infringement laws, which would make you pay 3x as much potentially - another answer to your "what's the incentive".
How do you distinguish between the latter, and allowing groups of individuals a place to worship as a group?

Up to and including anything that anyone might consider to go under those labels?

We should at least be careful of describing something that is not an instance of "outright sexual assault" as "outright sexual assault". "boasting of same" is not the same.

I assume Hillary is also out then, as that would be tolerating corruption?
Despite its length, your comment is not in fact responsive to mine.
Ask HN: What makes BlackBerry phones more secure?
I've been hearing on the news they are wanting Donald Trump to give up his personal cell phone. That he'll most likely get a modified BlackBerry like Obama has. It seems like an iPhone would probably be just as secure considering Apple approves all the apps on it, plus Apple is big into encryption, etc. I haven't really used Android, but I'm sure they're similar measures Google would put in place. I think they automatically scan apps instead of human reviewing.

So 8 years later, I'm curious why they think Blackberry is more secure. I know I'd hate having to switch to a completely different phone compared to my favorite if it was me.

Also curious why they never talk about the President or President-Elect giving up their personal laptop too. As far as I know he uses a MacBook Pro from some photos that came up around the time he was talking about boycotting Apple.
It was done rather insensibly, but that's an opinion too.
Trying things and seeing what happens is the essence of science; the only way we have to try to figure things out. Scientists have to get replication of an effect before they can design further experiments to dig into its details.

As to whether it's unethical--it sickens me too. It's horrifying but what if it gives us the key to solving spinal paralysis? It's a classic moral dilemma. I highly recommend this short story, which explores this sort of dilemma:

We agree that the vast majority over Muslims are not terrorists.

But the guilt by association is my point.

In this election, people who voted for Trump considered his Muslim ban policy acceptable enough that they didn't make him change it before they elected him. And guilt by association can cause that support to be interpreted as racist.

This is just speculation, but slowness might be because this is being run as a script via /usr/bin/swift, rather than being precompiled into a binary.

Certainly I have found my own Swift scripts seem to be a lot slower than compiled programs.

He didn't make a joke. He made a claim. He said he just grabs them by the pussy. I don't believe doing this is rape. I think it may be sexual assault but I'm not versed on the legal definition of these terms. I was molested as a kid. I did not call the cops or tell anyone. I was not raped. I was molested (i.e. touched sexually without consent).

You are being daft and you are not sincerely apologizing for it. You are defending a person with a lot of power who claims to grope women without their consent. If you want to argue that the claim is not correct and that he was lying the do so. But he clearly was not joking. It was not funny.

You are being daft because I clearly said that you need to read up on the psychology of victims/perpetrators because you made the stupid claim that if the women really were groped then they would have called the cops. I did not say you need to do this reading so that you can conclude Donald Trump is a criminal.
Pandering, or "offering or promoting prostitution" is still a crime.

What are those skills? My high schools taught regular academic subjects and electives. What job does that qualify a person to do? They can't fix a car, drive a big truck, or operate specialized machinery. Yes, the unskilled jobs moved. That's why high schools need to teach actual skills now.

I wrote another comment in this thread detailing his platform. I think it's a terrible platform and may be ineffectual, but it still makes logical sense.
God, I hope Trump does not fulfill any of the promises he made, even the favorably liberal ones. I am hoping it was all for the show and he is not serious about doing any of it.
Why? What have they done?

Hired an explicitly politically biased person to do their political "debunking", see the item mdpopescu linked to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12930881 With of course the predicable results.

So you're defining centrism as impossible?

Post-French Revolution, yes, by and large. Something we on the Right in the US have been saying prior to, say, this election, is that we think the Left is wrong, they think we're evil. Well, it's now polarizing as we decide they're not just wrong, but definitely evil.

And you're calling Fox News, the prototypical right-wing TV news station, left-wing? What? Why? How?

Maybe from your end of the pond they're "prototypically right-wing", and you might just be right about "prototypical", but they've always carried themselves as being "Fair and Balanced", i.e. allowing both sides a fair hearing. You can certainly look at their lineup of Leftists prior to the explicit shift to the Left that started a couple or so years ago as confirmation of this. Would a true "right-wing" (as defined in the US!) station give e.g. Juan Williams an honored seat at the table?

And I guess you missed Megyn Kelly's feud with Trump, and her leading role in the coup that ousted the founder and head of the channel?

I'm not telling you as someone across the pond that it's worth investigating, just like I haven't put any effort to speak of in discovering the causes of the Decline and Fall of the Torygraph, which I avidly read as a right of center 5 hours early for me news source back in the '90s, but, seriously, Fox has changed, and it's still a work in progress as two of Murdoch's more liberal sons run the place.
In some states the cops are legally allowed to rape people. C.f.:

> We also have a lot of people who are struggling socially and financially. They were born Mexican, Muslim, or homosexual (things they are) and are scared because other people want to deport them, jail them, or kick them out of the military. They voted Democrat.

They only need to be scared if they are Mexican and here illegally.

Everyone else is being needlessly scared by the media and DNC.
> so I'm assuming he thinks we can somehow talk retail stores into offending their customers again

How is it offensive? If a Muslim were to wish me a happy Ramadan I'd be cool with it, or if someone of Chinese descent wishes me a happy New Year on their New Year's date, that's ok too. When did people become such wimps that they think a well-wish is an insult?

Do people also get offended when someone says "bless you" after a sneeze?
Messenger view on mobile has unexpectedly started working for me over the past week or so. No changes that I'm aware of, I'm not in desktop mode, and it was definitely redirecting to the app store before.

We judge him for how and why he pitches in, bearing in mind that a Trump presidency is something he wanted to actualise rather than mitigate the effects of.

I don't doubt Thiel is capable and accomplished, but I also don't doubt he's ruthless, ambitious and tends to see things in black and white. It remains to be seen which of the ideas he's championed on he chooses to focuses his efforts on, of course, whether that's encouraging the government to support breakthrough research and entrepreneurship, slashing higher education funding and creating new tax shelters for the ultra rich, or just ensuring Palantir is well-positioned for contracts on new surveillance systems. Of course, reasonable people will still probably argue over what his contribution has been after he's made it. :)

If you're not aware of Nadia Eghbal you should be: https://twitter.com/nayafia - she is a seriously seriously wonderful human, and I'm lucky to call her a friend. I met her via Justin Johnson from KeenIO a couple years back when she had started her mission. The long and the short of it is that she wanted to understand how to better support software developers who work on OSS however are not being compensated for it. She comes from being a venture capitalist, not purely a technologist, and now works at Github. The report she wrote is excellent and I (obviously) recommend not only reading it, but sharing it with non-technical folks.
ah great point. I'll time it both ways and see where I'm at.

I literally don't understand what you are trying to say. Again: you are the person who informed me of this --- in fact, almost the exact words I used in my earlier comment have come out of your mouth, multiple times.

Can you give me a single sentence that you think is closer to the truth, without examples or citations to books?

Would the sentence "Japan is way way more racist than America" work? If not, I'm going to express further surprise, because that is a sentence you have used before.
Often times I'll just run the container interactively with a shell and start/stop the app manually as if it was running locally while doing development work, almost as if its a super lightweight Vagrant setup.

But it's effectively a secondary crime, like selling drugs. If no one ever used heroin, we wouldn't criminalize it (as indeed we don't criminalize selling other random chemicals).

The general pattern for drug and prostitution stings is that the police will commit those secondary crimes, but intervene before allowing the primary crime to happen. In this case, they pretty much committed the primary crime at length before acting.
Ideological leaders (on the left and the right) were responsible for hundreds of millions of deaths in the 20th century, for a start.

More generally, no ideology can actually capture reality. While they all contain some truth, they are all also fundamentally untrue if you drill down far enough. I'd rather grade someone on results (human happiness) than adherence to an ideological framework. I don't mean this in a simple utilitarian sense, either.

Isn't the whole issue the exploitation of children? As in the FBI should be going after the creators and distributors not become a distributor.
This is about the Freedom Hosting hack in 2013. In 2013 Wired wrote

> On August 4, all the sites hosted by Freedom Hosting — some with no connection to child porn — began serving an error message with hidden code embedded in the page. Security researchers dissected the code and found it exploited a security hole in Firefox to identify users of the Tor Browser Bundle [https://www.wired.com/2013/09/freedom-hosting-fbi/]

However, as far as we know, unlike the more recent Playpen thing, in the Freedom hosting case the FBI did not actually serve child pornography, they just displayed an error message. I don't see anything in this article that suggests otherwise.
Qt itself is LGPL now, so it no longer requires you to open-source code linked to it.

Some of the language bindings that aren't maintained by Digia are still GPL, though. An example of this is PyQt, and the PyQt team's intransigence on the GPL is why PySide exists.
