Just like any tool, we should adapt it so it works best for us. I don't think pure democracy (where every eligible citizen votes on every single decision) is something that should be held as the goal :) That said, I do think we should take a good solid look at whether the electoral college is really what we want.
Correct.

Edit to add: in general, social progress must be continuously defended. Nothing is every "done" in a democracy.
I didn't see mention of conjugate gradients, Newton iteration, or quasi Newton.

Yes. We have states which gerrymander the Senate then we have gerrymandered House districts.

Wyoming (pop. 584,153) has two Senators. California (pop. 38.8 million) has two Senators. CA is 66 times the population. Alaska (pop. 736,732), two Senators.
Today, for the first time I've heard someone speak about education being the key to Democrats trying to take over. Most young educated voters are left leaning - and I was told today that apparently it's because of the education brainwashing students to become government dependent...has anyone else heard about this before?

> My conclusion from my recent experiences over the last year or so with the election and before (and volunteering/organizing volunteers therefor) is that people don't just need to communicate, we need to interact, and my observation is that this needs to happen (or at the very least works best) face to face.

I agree. People are much more civil face to face. It also helps in a disagreement to see body language and facial expressions. If I'm trying to argue a point and see someone getting visibly upset then I may change my tact or soften the moment for a bit. This is so much harder to do over the internet.
Out of curiosity, what's the proportion of rural or small-town population v. urban population in those countries? I find that tends to be the big dividing line here in the US, and am curious as to whether or not the same can be said elsewhere (i.e. if a lower rural:urban population ratio correlates with a higher probability for Nordic-style policy).

It's probably not the only variable at play here (economic development and education levels could be additional factors), but it might be influencing those variables in subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways.
> unfortunately, for the RNC, the evangelical vote is still a significant portion of the population

Trump has exposed that the evangelical voters are hypocrites who don't practice what they preach. Their goal is to impose their religion on us.

They are totally enamored with a candidate who has profited off strip clubs, cheated on his wife, married multiple times, sexual assaulted women and bragged about it, and appeared on the cover of the nation’s pre-eminent porn magazine. But they are offended by Beyonce's songs.

This is an opportunity for GOP to move away from evangelical appeasement, but no... they will double down on it.
I never tried VMF so it may be faster, sure. The thing about VBox is, like I wrote, features. VBox is basically a full-featured Virtualization-Suite, has multiple UIs and an API. It is also available on Win7,8,10/macOS/Linux and Solaris.

You may add: excellent documentation and friendly support (board, irc, list).

If I'll ever have to switch, I'd first need feature-parity.
There is a limited interaction between yogurt buyers and yogurt makers that solely consists of buying or not buying stuff. There is more interaction between programming language creators and programmers and indeed between programmers about their tools.

Analysis in depth is a useful thing for not only the creator who is likely to already understand the trade offs he has made but for other current and potential users of the language.

I like your optimism, but do you remember what first brought our new president elect into the political sphere? It certainly wasn't to praise Obama for his clean and scandal free record.

Imagine, instead, LA requires licensing of people who download torrents

You can literally change the words *"hosts who have not registered to rent their home"* to *"people who have not registered to do X"*

Which is the point: SF has passed laws that require licensing. Those laws are more appropriate for some things than others.

Requiring a license for renting out a property for tourist or transient use is very different to requiring a license for torrenting. Could LA pass a law requiring a license for torrenting? Could such a law withstand appeal?

Thanks logicallee! I definitely need to be more judicious about time management, so I appreciated your comment!
This is primarily in regard to deep neural nets, where second-order methods are too expensive (O(p^2) in parameters, where p is on the order of millions).

I'm not sure conjugate gradient methods are used much, due to the non-convexity of the merit functions, and hard constraints aren't used much either.
Don't you feel at least a little bit curious on why someone could adopt a position that is so obviously wrong to you? Remember, these are people too, not that much unlike you. Some of them might even have the same favorite movies as you.
What do you have to say about the women who voted for Trump. Do they support molesting themselves?

What about the black people that voted for Trump?

What about the gay people that voted for Trump?

What about the Muslim people that voted for Trump?

I only wrote about influence, I just said that Poland had more influence on Ukraine than Russia.

And I pretty much think that most Ukrainians hate Russia (and Soviet Union - Holodomor) more than they hate Poland.
He did not say that all Trump voters are idiots or ignorant fools, he said a large fraction.

It is a fact that non-college-educated white voters overwhelmingly voted for Trump, while college-educated voters preferred Clinton. Not all college-educated persons are smarter than non-college-educated persons. But combined with the fact that 370 economists (among which 8 nobel prize winners) said not to vote for Trump, and newspapers overwhelmingly endorsed Clinton(243-20 [2]), it might be fair to say that most Trump voters are either not too bright or not very well-informed.

I've had good experience with Amazon Redshift for a ~40TB dataset. Google BigQuery can also work pretty good, depending on how exactly you want to use it. You can use SQL or SQL-like languages to query your data, and it works without much hassle.

I'd strongly recommend against building an in-house system. You're going to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in developer salary and hardware, and won't get that much out of it.

I'm sure AWS and Google both offer HIPAA-compliance, though you might have to pay more.

There's a great documentary "You've been trumped" about Trump's great ambition to build a golf course to Scotland. This is a nice example what the future president thinks about nature and wilderness.
Full doc seems to be available in youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCfaYlRyTGA
The hardest problem of our time is the seemingly unstoppable rise in inequality, and I think the painful truth is that no one has workable solutions to this problem.

The establishment probably understands the problem but has no solutions, so they simply avoid addressing it. Populist politicians then get elected by simply naming the problem (often with a big dose of scapegoating), no matter how irrelevant or counterproductive their proposed solutions are.

I asked some people in my circle who voted Trump, why?

2 votes that went Trump based purely on abortion & gay-marriage.

1 vote went Trump based purely on Obama-is-taking-away-our-guns-and-the-22-ammo-shortage-is-Obamas-fault-cuz-shortage-happened-during-obama. Seriously.

I read an Instagram post of an Georgia gal who voted Trump purely to get ACA repealed.

There appear to be a variety of reasons why people went Trump, but based on my very-small-sample I think there are significant portions of the population that are captured with the traditional positions.

These 3 aforementioned rural voters don't participate in any new media available on the internet and are traditional media (tv, newspaper) consumers. OTOH, the rest of us participating on the internet appear to be a much smaller demographic echo chamber...
> It wasn't a race issue, it was an immigration issue since many illegal immigrants have taken American jobs.

How come a con man who employees illegal immigrants at his construction projects and manufactures his own products in China & Bangladesh is the solution for it?
HIPAA absolutely does not require drug testing, though it's (I suppose) possible that your company may have adopted drug testing as part of one of the sets of procedures that HIPAA mandates (it doesn't seem to directly address any HIPAA requirement, but it's at least plausibly tangentially related to some of the workforce-related requirements.)
You'll most likely find that methods are proprietary. Some companies are in this space. For example, a company I was just rejected from claimed they have a monopoly on polling. A quick search could reveal who this company is. Hint: Eric Schmidt is on the board.

Does the precedent in Gonzales not generalize to marijuana businesses, as opposed to just home growers? Is there truly a legal distinction between the ability to "undercut regulation" of (a) a home grower whose product may end up traveling across state lines, and (b) a business that sells recreational marijuana to customers who may plan to resell across state lines?

The key term in the decision is "the likelihood that the high demand in the interstate market will draw such marijuana into that market" - this is as true of business-produced marijuana as it is of home-produced marijuana, no?

I assume I'm misreading the scope here, because investors in marijuana businesses have to have taken this into account when doing due diligence, not just relied on the Obama administration's lack of enforcement, right? Or is the entire industry built on shaky legal ground?
>It wasn't a race issue, it was an immigration issue since many illegal immigrants have taken American jobs.

I'm curious, what jobs have they taken away? This was my father in laws biggest beef next to terrorism. He has been retired for close to a decade and although he is not the 1%, he is for sure in the 2-3%.

I asked him if he was thinking about taking a job at the local car wash or visiting Syria, Afghanistan, or Iraq soon?

I haven't seen a white guy cut my grass or dry my car or roof my house or lay brick or stone in at least 25 years. I actually tried to help the Mexican roofers by carrying a bundle of shingle up the ladder and almost had my wife call 911.

Is there illegal immigrants working as doctors, dentists, data scientists, engineers, nurses, financial professionals, police, fireman, teachers, computer programmers, IT Specialists, etc?
Sure, if you know C++! :) I should probably create an issue outlining the things that still need to be done.

Nothing I said should leave you believing that some of Trump's supporters aren't xenophobic assholes.

But to now extrapolate from that to imagining that 47% of Americans voted for Trump because they are xenophobic assholes is not going to be a winning strategy.
That's part of it. The other part is that people are in favor of local control, even down to the most local level--until the local government and/or local voters (especially if it's their government and/or local voters) do something that they strongly disagree with.

Escape from Trump? Canadian startup needs co-founder
Hear ye Hear ye, We want you!! [Insert Uncle Sam Poster]

After watching things unfold over the past 18 months I understand the frustration and anger that many of our American brothers and sisters must feel - But like any great capitalist I must use this opportunity to attract a co-founder(s) for the start-up I'm working on.

Idea: A B2B sharing economy site that is currently finalizing the MVP for test launch. I really believe I have developed a model that can be very attractive for this huge untapped market. I am the only founder at this point, I have a background in Marketing, Sales and BD, so someone with a tech background would be strong compliment to my skill set. The company is based in Waterloo, Ontario where we have access to an amazing network of resources.

I would love to chat with anyone interested in Masterly.io.

It can come back.... by having a trade war with China, by raising the tax on Chinese Imports. I lived in China, a pair of Levis made by factory down a block is 100 bucks(and chinese make way less monthly), but when it export to USA, its 60 a pair.

What happens when tariff is raised and a pair of Levis from China now have to sell 120 bucks a pair? and if you produce that in US, since you dont have tariff, its 60 bucks a pair? what you think factory is going to do?
Sure, but we shouldn't compromise our own standards just because we see others behaving badly.
random thoughts

tech:
the kinds of tech challenges we'll be facing in the next 8 years are extraordinary - cyberwarfare, advanced AI, self-driving cars, brittle state of internet/device security, designer babies via genetic engineering. i'm worried about the general lack of competency of the exec branch in navigating through them.

thanks to the past 16 years, surveillance state powers are far beyond any in history.

the supreme court had some good decisions re privacy in the last few years, wouldn't count on that moving forward b/c scalia was pretty reasonable.

goodwill from silicon valley will drop off precipitously. revolving door from google, Facebook to government will stop (pros and cons there, but mostly cons)

election stuff:
during this election there's been a flare up in racial tensions, a safe space for the alt-right, etc

but HRC lost states Obama won -- the disparity was huge between elections.

so, yes racism played a role (and set up the worst Republican candidate winning the thing), but in the general election it was only one of many many factors, and maybe more of a side effect rather than a cause of the result.

DNC will probably be scared about pitching husband/wife combos or dynasties moving forward, minor knocks against Chelsea, Michelle
Elizabeth Warren has a strong path moving forward.

silver lining to all of this is the Democratic party has a chance to reform itself.
demographic trends are favoring Democrats in future elections
I would say it's more along the lines of giving people the benefit of the doubt, and (naturally) assuming that most decent people wouldn't vote for someone who espouses the racist, mysoginistic and generally hateful views of Trump.

Of course, history shows that people are quite capable of voting in people like that.

There doesn't really seem to be much substance to Trump's actual policies. He insists Mexico is going to pay for the wall, but there is fuck all chance of that. Congress isn't going to pay for it either. Even if he did build a wall, it would have zero effect (the smugglers are already quite capable of building very long and deep tunnels), so it would be a huge waste of money.

It seems to be mostly hot air, showmanship, and negative campaigning. If you listen to the reasons why people are voting, you generally hear things like "Clinton is a crook", "email scandal", "make America great". He really just did an excellent job of running his campaign.

Appium is great if you want to work on Appium and not actually build your own iOS or Android product.

Reminds me of what I told our PM: "do want me to make a career of writing Appium tests, or would you like me to use the tooling of my choice and get other things done, too?" And my current role is SDET, meaning I have nothing better to do than write tests. I can't imagine making dev write their own tests in Appium. I mean, I guess it wouldn't be that bad since you'd have no time for implementation, therefore making test writing a doddle. :-)

It's sad that 'space race' is not part of your culture. You've missed out on one of Top 5 Things To Do In XX Century.

WRT women had to fight every step: In Soviet Russia, which by the way I don't really like, women got quite a few rights over a range of time without big struggle, and that in part encouraged other white women in the world, and then all other women too, to go for what's theirs.

The white European male culture is what made fight for human rights possible. It's where it all happened, just like Jesus happened in Jerusalem and not in Ohio.

It's worth noting that the current wave of immigrants is by no means the first to be marginalized, either. Irish immigrants in the 1800's, for example, faced very overt persecution for many of the same reasons (notably: "stealing" the jobs of non-immigrants), especially at the height of emigration from Ireland due to the Great Famine.

In the long run, we'll likely look back at all this fuss as another chapter in our history books, but I'm sure there'll be some other ethnic group immigrating in droves. The melting pot is a continual process. Slow and frustrating sometimes, but it works for the better in the long-term.
