I think we're safer from nuclear war now, at least in the short-term. Hillary was going to continue the hard-line against Russia. Trump will likely come to a civilized agreement with them that deescalates the situation. There's no secret that he's Putin's favorite candidate (while the rest of Europe is in shock right now.)

More concerning is his policy with regard to Iran, but the current treaty covers our butts in the short term, while giving the Iranians a sure shot at nuclear capability down the road. Once they get nukes, the Saudis will want them too and the world will be a few minutes closer to midnight. It remains to be seen if Trump will make the situation better or worse.
First I thought it is my weary old notebook, but as it turns out it is not just me.
The unemployment rate in the US has shrunk from about 10% in 2009 to 4.9% in 2016. The homicide and violent crime rates has also continued to shrink from a peak in 1992. By any statistical measure you can think of, the US population is doing better today than in 2008.

You say something that doesn't even answer wojcech's point, then say "citation unnecessary"? Not very convincing.

(The point, the request for citation, was the claim that the economy is doing well for the bottom 20%. A quote from Trump does not address that question whatsoever.)
Whitestorm.js uses AmmoNext (better Ammo.js) I mean that ammo.js runs bullet physics, and AmmoNext runs Bullet Physics 3.

And the same voters kept the death penalty in place and even voted for the "reform".
Prior to ACA, people who were old or obese could still buy insurance. Prior to ACA, people like me who were cancer survivors could not, in any way shape or form, buy health insurance outside of government programs. If you are asking whether or not I believe it to be fair that premiums have gone up because in order to cover the uninsurable, absolutely.

And, to be clear, even now health insurance is not cheap for me. I did better in my business than I ever did before and I still budget for and spend 9% of my gross income on healthcare, which is split between premiums and my out of pocket max.

ACA is absolutely, positively not a perfect law. However, ACA has allowed me to start a business. ACA has given me the possibility of starting a family. I am not alone. If the cost of that is the requirement that I muster enough compassion to cover the costs associated with subsidizing the obese and old, then that is absolutely worth it.
> When Mr. Trump speaks of building a wall on the Mexican border, Mr. Thiel said, “what [voters] hear is we’re going to have a saner, more sensible immigration policy.”

I have no idea what to make of what Mr. Trump said. Am I to take him literally? Was this just posturing and he doesn't plan to do something like this? I have no idea.
Too late, I will never buy Lenovo again, there are too many other reasonable choices of companies who don't make anti-Linux decisions then backtrack when they get covered in shit. Once bitten..
I fully agree, though I didn't know that Fox News compared Obama to Hitler (I'm in the EU so I don't watch US TV) - which is equally unacceptable.

But I'm a more of an optimist regarding the Internet and the availability of platforms to share information and express views.

While it is certainly true that some of the loudest voices are indeed the most hateful (Comments on HRC's and DJT's Twitter posts were unbelievable vicious) I also see that there is organically dissent organising on all kinds of issues which we didn't have to such a degree in the pre Internet era.

Of course dissenters also existed before the Internet, but it was much harder to reach an audience. And not all dissent is just hateful and stupid, a lot is legitimate.
First of all, interesting and fascinating work! It is nice to see some chemistry over here.

I'm a grad student in computational chemistry. I am fascinated by the idea that our imagination, or limits of our chemical intuition, is the limiting factor for all kinds of cool advances. Through that I have recently been studying machine learning and I am interested in using it for catalyst optimization and design.

What is your opinion on the state of computationally assisted inverse design of molecules and the role of machine learning in it? The problem is a bit more open-ended compared to reaction optimization, but I could imagine that after proper formulation of the design guidelines the computer could help a lot.
Last week the Times had Trumps chances at about 7%. If you think the odds are more like 35%, that's 5x better. Still a long shot, but not impossible.
Am I the only one who dislikes these free resource type collections?

One, they present too many choices of dubious value. The most important part of book recommendations is a vetting of a few resources that are guaranteed to be enlightening.

Two, the monetary cost of a book isn't the largest "cost". The largest cost is the time spent reading the book, which again means that the most value that can be added is through the vetting of the contents of the book compared to all other alternatives.
An interesting issue most won't think if is a concept I've coined as "bandwagon voting". Essentially, if the voters can see what the current trend is, they'll vote with it. This could potentially sway elections towards one direction or the other.

Hi! I work at NoRedInk, the aforementioned company with 55,000 lines of Elm in production.

We don't "copy-paste the same stuff over and over." That would suck. Why would we be excited about a language that made us do that? Our Elm code is about as DRY as our JS code was before, except the Elm code is way easier to maintain.

Sounds awesome! Looking forward to it.
I'm so happy to see this at the top of the comments. It gives me hope that more people recognize that a vote for Trump in many cases wasn't a vote for the man, but rather a vote for some amount of hope that someone, somewhere recognized that their towns and cities were hurting and that they saw some path forward out of their situation.

I don't know what the solutions are, but I have to believe that if we can talk about sending people to live on Mars and make cars that drive themselves, that we can come up with solutions to get jobs and economic prosperity to areas of the country that have been badly hurt over the last decade.
And that's why their candidate lost. Doubt Trump will do much better by normal folks, but it was obvious Clinton wouldn't.
You're implying that developer adoption fueled widespread adoption of the MacBook, yet now saying that the developer user base no longer matters to Apple. If this is true it is short-sighted. Would the abandoned developer base not eventually drive mass adoption to an alternative?
They are in Seattle because that's where the talent is. The talent is there because it's where all the jobs are. People want to be near jobs because they want to be able to move jobs easily. They want to be able to move jobs because that gives them negotiation leverage and also because jobs are less stable than they used to be.

This is all interconnected, and nothing is going to change it in the foreseeable future. I'm sorry, it's just the reality. You can commute, work remote, move to the city, struggle to put together a teeny company in a small town, or do some other kind of work. That's just modern reality.

Why would? It's a victory for one of them, and proof to the other that they aren't fighting hard enough. It might cause the latter to reconsider strategy, but why would it cause either to question the struggle itself?

Trump lost support slightly among whites relative to Romney. In the northern and midwestern working class areas where Trump made big gains, Obama did well and won many areas that HRC lost. Obama won non college educated whites in Iowa by a substantial margin. Those people didn't vote for Trump this time around because they're now racists.

Typically OEM's are paid per install of crapware (regardless if the user ends up paying for the subscriptions).

It's just a form of marketing for these companies - ie. a certain percentage of potential users will convert into paying users.

The reason Windows laptops have been cheaper or the same price as the linux counterpart is usually due to the combination of subsidized licensing from Microsoft, crapware installation kickbacks, and lower cost of support infrastructure (the OEM already has a huge Windows support staff and infrastructure, creating a new one for Linux - or more correctly, a specific distro of linux - costs more).

If the linux laptops sell more and more, eventually the support costs will come down to on-par (or lower perhaps... who knows). It's a chicken-and-egg problem, and one that OEM's are not willing to foot the bill up front for. We have to vote with our wallets and take that short-term hit in order to push the ecosystem in that direction.
I wonder if the media is incompetent or liars...
Feel free to add all free C++ books you have :)
Yeah... um... the original article was about smugness among liberals. You might want to think about that.
Free shipping seemed to be a necessary evil to get people shopping online. First free shipping and then same-day delivery got people past all of their mental hangups of online shopping. Now with more small businesses entering ecomm, there will probably be more consumer flexibility on shipping costs. But to get people in the door, it was necessary.
Really like the idea. Messages wouldn't go through though after a few interactions and couldn't submit a bug.

There is clearly a need for dialogue after such a divisive campaign, it would be even better before people cast ballots though. The media clearly don't help facilitate interaction between different elements of society, but rather act as an echo chambers for a lot of people. Whether it is The Guardian, Washington Post or Fox News and Breitbart. I'm British and was surprised by Brexit, however this didn't catch me by surprise. Such a huge disconnect has formed in both the US and UK. Although there are valid concerns as to how we implement dialogue the potential is huge. If we don't take these attempts seriously we risk becoming so polarised that ugly outcomes will be guaranteed.
With how close it was it's disingenuous to look for reasons why she lost. People simply didn't think the entire rural population would vote enmasse and they underestimated the size of that voting block. Full stop.

This election wasn't about immigration

It was about immigration in part. I've been hearing variations of your comment from many sources for a while now and I think it reflects the establishment's fears that Trump might actually fix immigration. And by fix, I mean "reduce to non-insane levels".

Anyway, he absolutely got the nomination by being the only credible candidate to denounce illegal immigration in particular, and if he doesn't deliver on that, there are going to be a lot of pissed-off Trump supporters, blue collar or otherwise.

...

Other people mention bigotry or whatever. As far as I'm concerned, in-force policies such as massive 3rd world immigration and affirmative action are institutional bigotry of the most brazen and damaging sort, aimed deliberately at this country's founding stock, including me. This isn't make-believe bigotry, or sticks-and-stones bigotry, but real life bigotry, with force of law. Liberals are mostly unable to process this kind of thinking in any coherent way, but try to understand it in the adage, "Even a worm may turn." And we're the worm.
Yeah definitely greener in some places and browner in other, I couldn't agree more. But it was a good experience for me too, I married a Panamanian. Plus no income or property tax was just an incredible benefit, I miss that a lot! I'll go back there when I can, just for the taxes.

Obamacare as We Know It May Be Done For
Which...is not a fact. That's my point.
The effect that will have on the Canadian dollar remains to be seen. I don't expect it to strengthen anytime soon. It fell in reaction to the news.
Actually, I'm not going anywhere because I'm staying in the US to fight for what I believe is right, just, and true - namely the sanctity of rights for all people, regardless of skin color, gender, religion, or sexual orientation. See you there.
To win a battle, you need to choose the right tactics for the battlefield you are actually fighting on, not the ideal battlefield you think you are entitled to fight on.

Or, to adapt from Donald Rumsfeld, you go into an election with the electorate you have, not the electorate you wish you had.
They didn't necessarily lose their coverage, they just ended up with much worse coverage with much higher deductibles.

Those of us who have stuck with our pre-Obamacare plans are paying dearly for the privilege. That's OK, I understand that Obamacare was supposed to fail from day one, in order to pave the way for single-payer coverage.

But it's becoming increasingly apparent that we're going to get the first part without the second.
There's a lot of this going on in some places. It's useful for people who already own a lot of land but don't want to pay property taxes on it. Agree not to drill for oil or cut down timber in your enormous back yard and get a huge tax discount...

It will save you, because while your compromised machine could change the transaction before it's signed, the hardware wallet will display the transaction and the change will be visible. Even if the user fails to properly check the destination displayed on their wallet, it still limits potential losses as the user will likely notice if the transaction is for a huge amount (their entire wallet).

if it's structured you probably don't need Hadoop. Stuff it in BigQuery or RedShift and be done with it.

Hadoop is a marvelous way to make simple things complicated. Look at what Google does internally (and has been doing internally for many years) with structured data: stick it in a fast structured place (bigQuery, or even MySQL before that, if you go back far enough with AdWords) on a redundant platform and be done with it.

Hadoop, Spark, etc are for unstructured stuff where you're not sure how to attack the problem. If you know how to store and query the data then you know how to attack the problem.

UPS had billions upon billions of rows in their package tracking system long before anyone came up with MapReduce at scale. If you've only got 1TB of data cropping up per year, it's reasonable to stick it in a database of some sort.

If you've got 5PB of new data a year, then you need to start thinking about moving the computation to the data; but even then, sometimes that just means writing stored procedures.
How Chris Guillebeau Travelled to Every Country in the World
Is that 8 seconds to first byte, or 8 seconds for the complete body?

No SLA I've seen guarantees a time for full body because that time fluctuates too much with both the size of the object and the current state of the internet. The new-ish refresh of the GCS lineup of services says you get sub-second access, but that has to be time to first byte, and I have a hunch that NewRelic shows you time to last byte.

If my assumptions are accurate, I would say the data you get from NewRelic does not warrant reimbursement from Google, though I might side with you if all of your objects are tiny.
they could also be both
On the contrary I see inequality as a driver here. Working class people have become considerably more un-equal as a result of globalization and other policies, and a lot of that anger is boiling over.
Yeah. Blackberry's sales reached a peak a couple of years after the iPhone was released.
oh jesus. somehow this flew under my radar. this isn't good
If you say something like that and expect anyone to keep listening or reading after your first sentence, you have no business -- or future -- in politics.
Except that 4.9% rate is a) an average across the country, and b) not reflective of the true rate of unemployment. ShadowStats suggests the real rate (including those who have given up on finding work) is more like 23%. In certain areas of the country (the rust belt, for example), it's higher than that.

That's the price you pay maybe for civilisation.

Take the other example of Belgium whose tax level is more or less equivalent but is scaling down on basically everything. People there complain that they pay a lot now, but are almost certain that when their turn come, they will not get anything.

We are in a context where you can't predict the outcome of the next election a single day before, who will trust to current generation of politician with policies in 30 years ?

Also, that's not just a question of egoism. I don't mind paying today so that people get unemployment benefit and a good pension. The problem is that if it goes the other way when I reach retirement age, I will neither receive the pension nor the year of tax cut to make up for it.

About Opera being bought
My main concern is that Opera has yet to revoke the CA's of WoSIgn and StartCom, sibling companies under their new umbrella. To me, the litmus test is whether Opera follows suit, or lose all integrity in about.. well, they're already a week on overtime.
This is why I've suggested economic measuring well-being with the metric "discretionary income per hour lost to work" (DIPHLoW).

discretionary income: income minus taxes and base housing costs

hour lost to work: time at work plus time commuting or otherwise stuff you wouldn't otherwise have to do

That metric captures dynamics like "yeah there are jobs, but with much higher cost of living, so it cancels out the DIPHLoW" and "yeah you can live where it's cheaper but you have to commute an extra 90 minutes, which eliminates the impact on DIPHLow".

It's a good thing for Trump that Clinton cheated Sanders out of the primary ... Sanders sid a better chance of beating him.

I should also note that it shouldn't be surprising that the tea party supporters who lost their candidate in 2008 and 2012 were so drawn to Trump.
He didn't say any of those things.
A Trump Presidency – Renewable energy is not going away
I know, isn't it grand?
> She's describes Trumps win as a great big middle finger to career politicians.

Other than Trump himself not being a career politician, it seems most likely to merely alter which career politicians are rewarded, not the extent to which such politicians are rewarded, which isn't a big blow tout "career politicians" in any general sense.
