Territories comprising modern Latvia has also been part of Germany (~300 years), Swedish Empire and Poland (~200 years).

The only thing Latvians share with Russia is the border unfortunately.

There are no major cultural or ethnic similarities.

The language is so different it doesn't even belong to the same branch in the language tree. (compared to family of Slavic languages - Ukrainian, Belarusian, Slovak, Polish, Czech, etc)

Latvians do not want anything to do with Russia or it's culture or it's politics.

The same is true for Estonia and Lithuania.

In Heinlien's Friday the US has split up into competing and fractious rival states, like a late 19th century Europe. The heroine is from a persecuted minority (namely genetically engineered people).
What happens if economic ties between coastal regions of major trading partners become greater than cultural ties within nations?

Then those regions might form their own government, see for example the Hanseatic League [1]. These cities answered directly to the Emperor, instead of some local nobility or government.

Why Do You Need Responsive Web Design for Your Web Startup
I bought the Veertu 2016 Business edition in april this year, with the intention of replacing VMWare Fusion, but it didn't work out for me.
At the time the performance was great and it worked properly for the most part. Though some critical features were missing, such as copy/pasting files from and to the VM.
Graphics performance was nowhere near VMWare performance the last time I used it.

If a black man says "I'm proud to be a black man" it seems reasonable to most people. If a white man says "I'm proud to be a white man" people think he's part of a prison gang.
>Immigration and gay marriage and women’s rights etc. are scapegoats.

This is the answer nobody will admit in this thread. They do not solve the massive undercurrent of economic problems the vast majority of Americans face. They do not care about those distractions. And they proved that today.
There isn't the slightest bit of evidence for this ridiculous assertion. And quoting polls that say he was beating Trump more than Clinton was when those polls turned out to be 100% wrong isn't evidence.
It's more visceral than being tired of being left out. Christians are mapping the trajectory of the cosmopolitan left culture, see things like the Brendan Eich incident, and are genuinely afraid that there's a leftist fascism developing. Maybe they're jumping to conclusions, but that's what they think.

Also, abortion is a really big deal. To some degree, the evangelical/conservative Christian vote was split this time around because Trump had a loud but not very reputable position against abortion. It's remarkable that Trump won despite that shortcoming.
Australian skilled worker visa sounds similar. Points come from low age, language exam, degree, training, years in the industry, etc. For technical skills, you pretty much submit your CV (packed with easily recognisable keywords...)
Really shocks me that this wasn't obvious to people post-Brexit. I was a remain voter who was shocked by that result but this win has been obvious to me for a long time after that.

Calling leave voters racists achieved nothing and only strengthened their views. It was obvious when Trump voters appropriated the term Deplorables that personal attacks were going to fail. All you did was cause the polls to not reflect the final vote because people would say Hilary when asked but put an X next to Trump in private.
If I'm programmer/developer looking for job in Sweden where can I find offers? How do you feel about taxes in Sweden? Aren't they very high in nordic countries?
The only way for a rich nation to have metaphorical Shenzhen is if they're okay with Shenzhen-style citizens. Tariffs can't make it more attractive for Foxconn to move their factory plans to the US. I'd also say that worker discontent is one of the major sources of Trump support, but the last thing they want are the ecological reasons for making Shenzhen an attractive manufacturing capital. You need an environment where laborers cannot even fathom leaving or engaging in collective bargaining. China is okay with a scenario where much of the nation profits from the backs of abused workers because they have the might to quash malcontent. In a democracy where these abused workers have voting rights, this translates to instability.

The decentralized nature of the economy also makes it so that an overly internal strategy like tariffs are insufficient. If the US stops buying from China altogether, China is still the manufacturing pit stop of the world. The rest of the world has no reason to coordinate the tariff strategy with you. Only your nation artificially sees increased prices. It's even worse if your nation ups production but nobody wants to buy it because it's too expensive. Your production isn't a power unless you export, and tariffs alone won't make you export.

Manufacturing businesses want an environment where (1) citizens are dirt cheap, (2) citizens can be legitimately abused, (3) government is stable and amenable to these practices, (4) the country is connected to global supply chains so you can integrate that country as part of your production system.

Also, if / when manufacturing does come back to the US, I imagine that it will bear the fruits of every company racing towards applied machine learning. It will be robotic labor that outscales cheap labor.
Last time I checked Trump was running on a pro LGBT platform...
START worked. A couple of countries chose to disarm. Neighbors of Russia gave their nukes (~back) to Russia!

It also seems the original non proliferation treaty was at least effective in keeping the list of nuclear powers shorter.
Yes I know that many regulations are done on the state level and then there's gun free areas and so on, but I'd still say that this is something very unique about the US.

I can't name even a single example where societies, even if it is only at a state level, generally allow citizens to carry a gun in public (without having to acquire some special permission that only very few people have access to)

If there is some other society that allows this then it's probably an Anglophone country.

State-level marijuana laws may have diminished relevance if Chris Christie and/or Rudy Guliani assume federal law enforcement and policy roles.
Yes, and "I can't know" is a stronger assertion than "I don't know". The former implies the latter. However, both are correct.

Yes I have. My entire business is based around doing exactly this.
Edit: I didn't mean to imply that it's not a problem now - but it's no means as big a problem as it used to be (and I have direct experience through family members of horrific bigotry towards and to Catholics in Scotland).
Maybe.

Sanders is old. Old people have skeletons in the closet. Sanders wasn't a big deal long enough for the press to have really dug in and started dragging those old skeletons out.
I assume you're referring to Trump not being happy with NATO members freeloading on USA. Estonia spends >2% GDP on military [1] as the NATO guidelines say. Thus, at least in regards of Estonia, Trump should be satisfied.

> What I care about is long-term chances of mankind for survival on this beautiful little blue ball, the only home we will have as a mankind for a very, very long time.

Exactly. And what we need now is stability, a chance to continue to grow the technological civilization. Because if we fuck it up this time, it's gonna take many thousands, if not tens of thousands, of years before anyone will come close to industrial revolution again. All the low-tech, high-density energy sources have been used up. If the current system stops, there's no restarting. So could we all please focus on stabilizing and improving it, instead of fucking with it in spite, because someone else was born richer than me?
You're right, but there are also psychological effects at play. If Sanders was seen as the lead candidate, his support might have gained momentum and given him the election, especially if the superdelegates weren't in the picture.
Sure, there are always winners and losers; it's just there are more losers when unemployment is high and fewer when it is low.

Fewer people are unemployed than last time Obama was elected, and presumably, most of these folks didn't vote against him then, so why now?
Fascinating comment in light of the election results. In this particular instance I agree with you, Theranos was BS and I was glad to see it fall.

Eye opening to realize however, that this is exactly the sentiment that those who voted Trump in hold in regard to, essentially, 'us'.
Well with the Clintons you'd have a criminal and a rapist in the whitehouse so you can't win.

I know it was a joke, but we might actually be hiring someone to do scheme development (in Sweden, not Norway). We started as a mostly delphi shop doing software for smaller private healthcare businesses. Most of our internal tooling evolved started as one-off scripts I wrote in guile.

Our business grew to deliver huge installations on tens of thousands of computers, and our internal tooling grew as well. We have well over 100k lines of scheme. Since it works well, we don't really want to invest in porting it. We tried rewriting our macro system in python, but it was god-awfully slow, and ended up being harder to read. With scheme, we can just rely on syntax-case to de-construct the macros, which is not only fast but also easy to extend.
No better way to do it. Working code or stfu.
I want to agree with you but Muslims are not a race. Neither are Mexicans for that matter. And being Islamaphobic and xenophobic genuinely is different from being racist. Perhaps not very different, but different nonetheless.

Jackie Chan: Frozen in Russia Without a Warm Jacket
Tread carefully; while I suspect most of Europe doesn't care too much about Trump, the media and rest of the left wing in the UK labelled anyone pro-Brexit as ultra-right wing / neo Nazi types - they're still being called uneducated and racist by presenters on TV as I'm typing this.

Then the vote for Brexit won a majority. They're not all scum at the extreme end of a political spectrum.

If France goes down the same naive, name-calling route Le Pen will surely be next to capitalise on it.

Call centers aren't really offices, though. They look like this:

Which look very similar to this:

The main difference is the machine is a calling machine instead of a sewing machine.

Call centers are more like call mills, and those people are definitely wearing shirts with blue collars.

That is because you see them as Muslims, the left sees them as people.
Paraphrasing Barry Humphries recently, on growing up in Melbourne in the 50's:

"I grew up in a Melbourne that pretended to be a home county of England. An English garden, never an Australian tree or shrub to see. A picture of Churchill on the wall. I never saw an Aborigine or indigenous Australian, and the first time I saw a kangaroo was at the London Zoo"
If be "we" you mean a few highly invested tech people.
The media think they influence the election results, but in this case it didn't really happen. Both parties' nominees won their nominations by significant margins. Trump won the general election despite the media being united against him. The media are now asking themselves "What could we have done to prevent this?" (See for example Chuck Todd's article at NBCnews.com yesterday, appointing partial "blame" for the outcome to the media.) This misses the point. The media shouldn't be trying to influence the outcome, except in a couple of ways: they should make it their mission that people be as informed as possible, and that that information be true. Their loyalty to a left-wing political ideology has come before both of those things, which is why their credibility is in the dumps.
What you are describing is not libertarianism. Sounds like you are implying he follows ayn rands philosophies. Not the same thing
tbh the "support for the death penalty" correlation is pretty consistent with the view of young social liberals vs older social conservatives. It's a pretty good proxy variable for those groups.

(I doubt many Leave voters even realised they needed to vote leave the EU to allow for the possibility of peacetime death penalties; it certainly wasn't a campaign issue!)
Sometimes there are no definitive answers. The world we live in is not deterministic, at least with our current knowledge of the world.
It is a smart move to shake up the hoarding of cash and pump it into the economy.

Because white Europeans were coming from other EU countries and UK is still an EU member. Bangladesh isn't.

For example, Ukrainians and Russians (i.e. also not EU members) have exactly the same treatment as Bangladeshi.

Really? Didn't know anything about that. Did it start with Brexit?
Putin was never elected in competitive election.

Brexit was competitive, Hillary-Trump competitive, Modi perhaps, Putin elections weren't. Not in 2000, not in 2004 and certainly not in 2012.
I'm fairly certain all they meant to communicate was that Indians in India have different types of Indian culture to Indians in Britain, and that they weren't trying to reduce all of India to a singular culture.
I question even the assumption that Silicon Valley is a success. I don't think many bay area locals would agree. Economic output isn't really success, in my mind. Providing everyone with a middle class quality of life would be a success.

S.F. has one of the largest homeless populations of any city in the U.S.. By any sensible definition, most cities in the U.S. are doing pretty terrible at providing quality of life, or "success", to their occupants.

I think the only way to improve things is the government would have to make policies that actually benefit the majority of the population. That would mean taking a look at all industries in the country, figure out what kind of economic policies would benefit most people (not military spending), curb the excesses of capitalism (prevent monopolies, ensure competition), and fund basic social policies like health care. The U.S. has gone so entirely bonkers, giving in to the natural progression of capitalism, it's hard to see if there is any possible hope left.

>Both the BREXIT campaigners and Trump over-promised on how they will fix the financial crisis.

Important to keep in mind that even large amounts of the pro-Brexit campaign didn't actually expect to win, it was meant to be a bargaining chip.
You two disagree. One of you will have a law that shoves something down your throat.
Nationalistic of what nation? Russia is not nationalistic, Russia is permanently confused since 1917.
Not too much people write plain JS anymore, and it is not that hard to build transpiling pipeline. Sometimes you have a small project and you don't want to deal with all this nonsense, but then you are writing code in one file and it is very small jquery style enhancements.

So, if you need objects as keys in dictionaries, then there is a big chance that you can use transpiling already (modules, other ES6 features).

Please, don't take it as an offence, just a suggestion – I really don't see a problem here.
Yes, a very bad old reason.
Clinton lost because her support among white voters was weak, not because of minority voters.
3 tips to ace video interviews
Where does this rhetoric come from? Trump has made remarks that are inherently racist and sexist, whether you agree or disagree with him.
This article is 7 months old!
Your comment comes across as fairly condescending, but I can't really argue with it.

Sure it can be dangerous to believe you know what's best for others and force decisions upon them, but clearly what we have now isn't working either.

More than ever we desperately need more resources put into education. But that isn't going to happen.

I don't see an easy way out of this mess. It's something we've been building toward for a long time and it's incredibly saddening.
Can definitely imagine some other governments watching very closely.
> I think if it actually came to that, it would eventually mean war. The interior economy falls apart, coastal regions secede, the poor countries would inevitably be driven to war against the coastal regions out of desperation. Extreme nationalism would just make this more likely. No one should think this is a good idea.

There is also a matter of food supply. There is a sentiment among rural people in my area (not US) that it's them who are doing actually important work for little pay while the cities waste time and money on bureaucracy and pursuit of fads.
Ragged robin herb
Clever to link to only your answer.

This post should be edited to the overall question because theres better answers at the top of the quora thread.
Yeah, I'm really addressing the hypothetical 26-year-old me. The OP is 26 and he thinks he's at "mid-life" and is worried about not having a career. I'm nearly 40 now and am only now starting to find out what I want to be when I grow up. And I don't feel very handicapped by that! My past "careers" have all given me a lot of value and learning.

The message I'd like to convey to the OP is that he could have an adventure for 4-5 years, or even 10 years, and then worry about what career he wants to go into.
Cool. I as I was furious checking the polls, I noticed that a lot of referenda were being voted on.

Besides a lot of approved tax exceMptions and administrative stuff, some referenda include

* Asking DC to look into becoming it's own state as New Columbia

* Making Alabama a right to work state and Virginia did not

* Legal weed in California, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada and North Dakota

* Raised minimum wage In Arizona, Colorado and Washington

* Washington wants to limit free speech to individuals and not corporations

* Background checks for purchasing weapons in California and nevada

* No universal health care in Colorado (80% no)

* Florida voted against allowing home owners to use solar to make their own electricity

* Indiana and Kansas voted for the right to fish hunt etc.

* Minnesota removed the power for officials to set their own salary

* Missouri wants voter ID laws

* Nebraska abolishes the death penalty

* Oklahoma makes the death penalty constitutional and let's them use unconstitutional means of execution

* New Jersey disallowed gambling in two more counties

* New Mexico allows the state to deny bail for felons

* Oregon let's universities invest in equities

* South Dakota keeps minimum wage as it is

Seems like weed is legal (to some degree) in lots of states. Also, it seems like change on the national level will only happen if they ripple through.

I got these from the Google election thingy.i don't know if the US has binding referendums, so don't if the things I mentioned may or may not happen.
I've never seen right wingers talk badly about Clinton due to her gender. I've heard plenty of talk on almost every single other one of her traits, but I think the progressives in the US are a bit to quick to pull out the sexism/racism card.
You know that ad hominem is a fallacy, right?

Attack the argument, not the messenger.

My personal experience with OpenGL is that all Valve games run faster on it than on DirectX (both on Windows, but I heard Linux + OpenGL also has better perf than Windows + DirectX), but that's about the extent of it.

If the DNC hadn't rigged the primary, Bernie would have beaten Trump in a landslide.
The snarky reply to the "moving to Canada" thing is: why don't all these California liberals want move to Mexico? It's closer, isn't it?
Exactly. The same polls that said eny other GOP candidate would have beaten Clinton also said Trump was the only one who couldn’t.
Trump said a lot of things. Often things that directly contradicted other things he said. What he really thinks is anyone's guess.
Being a white male isn't a culture. I'm a white male myself, and there's a lot of cultural differences between me and white men in Russia; white men in different social classes; in different workplaces; in different hobbies and so forth.

Patriarchy is frowned upon because it's inherently unfair. You're complaining that people frown on you because you celebrate your social superiority over them?
Ever heard of acid rain?
The problem is that people like you dismiss legitimate concerns as racism. If there's one thing you should take from this election, it's that we're tired of that.
The US voting system does not allow non-regional third parties.
Root cause: voters are not educated enough. They make gut decisions based on emotions while they should use their brain. So develop something that educates people AND feeds the emotional side.
