You do realize when you're talking about "global unity" that almost the whole rest of the world is more racist and sexist than the US, right? I come from a Muslim country. Replace "Muslims" with "Jews" and the worst things said at a Trump rally would be socially acceptable where I am from.
I think the point I was trying to address was the implied claim that we "can't afford" health care systems akin to other western examples. Arguments like:

> "Your tax rate is so high America would never vote for a similar tax."

> "Percentage wise those countries spend a lot more on health care than the US."

I would agree that our private health care system has perverse incentives. Combined with the degree of separation between cost and consumer due to our insurance system, this has resulted in general market failure.

Neither of these are directly economic or tax policy related (IMO). We already are being taxed and paying for health care...the issue is where is our health system failing to deliver value-per-dollar spent. Which generally might involve some economic policy overlap as far as market regulation, but I don't think it is the whole (or even the majority) of the story.
Noticed that AP called the race well before other outlets
He has a republican senate and house.
> Trump is now free to realize any of his promises as he sees fit, and no one will be able to say "American's didn't approve this"

Well, the majority of American voters didn't approve this.
But dumbasses do exist. And if a true dumbass senses that you think he's a dumbass, he will obsessively counter everything you do just to be contrarian. Teach those libtards a lesson. It's not logical but it makes total sense if you think like a dumbass.

I guess I'm part of the problem.
Just randomly: one of my great internet regrets is flaming Tim Sweeney about boring type system wars on "Lambda: The Ultimate" without realizing what an impressive fellow he is :).
Guess I would have to do the math, but I'd think the drop in electricity consumption, especially in the summer heat, is enough to offset my commute.

Fully charging the Leaf should be about the same as my Fiat 500e, and that's roughly equivalent to running a space heater for 18 hours. I'd conservatively estimate your commute takes 1/8th to 1/4th that power. (There are lots of details I don't know that could affect that.) It is roughly the same going by that.
* Learn as much as you can about the system and the currently running stack, deployment model, and dev environment. As a corollary, make sure you can bring a clean stack up on a dev machine, as isolated from prod as possible, by hand. Or as close to by hand as is practical. I've found this to be very important to understanding how things actually work in an application.

* Figure out who are you goto people to find out information about the system and the stack.

* Figure out who your 'users' are so you know who to ask about actual use cases or end user testing.

* Dive in bug fixing, the deeper the dive the better. The more time you can spend in the code base exploring and the faster you get into it the faster you figure out what the real structure is.

At least that's my starting point. For me, the big thing to remember is that applications are applications and business processes are business processes. It's all about pipelines that process customers/students/data/whatever and spit them out the other end.

Edit: formatting.
"One of the issues with this is that while yes, you can get the people to become more skilled/educated, ultimately the jobs that take advantage of that skills and education are in cities, not in small towns or rural areas where so many of these people currently live."

Somehow, our companies have become experts at enabling remote working 12 time zones away, but can't manage to pull off the same thing for someone in the rural US.

I wonder why?
Betting markets did not prove themselves however. Just like with Brexit, they were in line with the polls and only reverse at the last minute: https://i.imgur.com/tEDdMpT.png (from https://electionbettingodds.com/WIN_chart_maxim_lott_john_st...)

Right, but we're human beings who have evolved in a specific environment to have specific wants and desires and fears.

And one of those is the fear of terrorism.

You can, I guess, beat on the statistics drum until the sun swallows the Earth, but human beings on planet Earth, largely, do not agree with your model for assessing the costs of international terrorism.

Your model assumes that, hey, a death is a death is a death, no matter the cause; but most people care more about some types of deaths than others.

You seem to think you just need to educate those people, but the difference is deeper than that.
Road to hell is paved with great intentions.
A man with subpar intelligence and understanding of the issues, will most likely make the wrong decision, even if it's with the noblest of intentions.
I personally don't think the events can be compared. Brexit has a lot of (unknown) implications for the UK, due to the fact that it's not clear what deal they'll get from the EU. On the other had Trump being elected president is just a change of the president of the US. There's no immediate threat.

I code a lot sitting on the couch, external keyboards are pretty inconvenient.

But to your point, there are many ways I could workaround this change (changing key mappings, for example). But my point is; I don't have to. There are plenty of companies willing to sell me a computer with the same keyboard layout that's been standard for the last 30 years. I'll just buy one of those.

I see this no different than any other product I use on a daily basis; I would be resistant to change if it aversely affected my use. Luckily, I don't need to change my habits to conform to Apple's latest bravery. Apple needs to know this; they don't own their customers.

US median individual wage is $39K/yr for males and $26.5K/yr for females [1]. That amounts to an after-total-tax (for a California resident) of $28K/yr for males and $19K/yr for females.

The tax calculator you reference includes estimates of sales, property, and fuel taxes (which make up much of the tax total at the incomes here), which are actually rolled into rent, transportation, and general purchases, so you are double counting some expenses.
This is certainly a lot of words, which I think I can summarize as "smartphones are easy and powerful and flexible and DSLRs should be as easy and powerful and flexible too". Which is sort of silly, it's like saying buses carry a lot of people conveniently so all vehicles should be buses or be more bus-like.

And yes, I do think we'll still have SD cards in a few years.
No need to be condescending.

Can you tell me what the likelihood of a nuclear attack by terrorists will be in 10 years, 20 years? How about if Iran develops nuclear weapons? Do you think 9/11 will be the worst terrorist attack we will ever see? My whole point is terrorists, and those that support them, are becoming increasingly competent in nearly every vector of attack, nuclear being only one. And their destructive ambitions grow even faster than their competency. I simply don't see how anyone can call it a fake issue.
That wouldn't account for all of it, I believe.

E.g. I am making around 35k Euro/annually, before taxes. That is with 15 years of experience, with a university degree & a PHD in comp. science. And that is not at all rare if you are not in finances or machine learning (or whatever is the fad du jour at the moment) where the salaries are very high. But even there 50-70k+ are not that common. And, of course, my living costs are likely quite a bit higher than yours (well, perhaps except for large cities like Moscow).

UK is similar unless you are working for the London City bankers - I have been interviewing few years ago for a position with a big company there and they have actually offered me even less than what I am making now after taking into account higher costs of living in the UK.

Actually the French taxes aren't that high, the killer are the extra expenses that the employer has to pay for each employee - social & health insurance, various solidarity contributions, etc. I am costing my employer about 2x as much as what I am actually taking home. From that I still have to pay taxes, which are about one and a half of my monthly salary in total (the French pay taxes themselves for the previous year, unlike most of Europe where the tax is deducted from salary already and you only get a return if you paid too much).
Another app I would like to suggest is Placecot. It allows you to post to neighborhoods and places nearby. So post to your local coffee shop or neighborhood and have a discussion. Better yet, meet those people in person. Part of the problem with society is we are all in filtered bubbles and no one meets and talks anymore.

You can find it on the app store here: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/placecot/id1024884410?mt=8

Gun control is great for gun sales - California for instance is seeing an unprecedented boom in the run-up to their legislation kicking in on Jan 1.

The lack of gun control legislation prospectively coming from a President Trump, as opposed to HRC's platform of re-enacting the assault weapons ban etc., is driving those stocks lower.

I'm wondering if he is advocating for LTE modems in phones, so he can pull a picture up on the display, see that it looks passable, and hit the "send to my editor" button.

Or maybe just phone integration so he can send the photos to his phone where he can stuff them in an email and send them to the editor.

His primary complaint seems to be getting scooped by teenagers with their smartphones, but I don't see how anything that gets classified as a "workflow" can beat hitting the "post to Facebook" button 2 seconds after you take the picture.
I've been wondering if, once the hot blood of electoral politics simmers down, HN will develop a more "nuanced" view of Trump. I absolutely agree that there are things the HN gestalt won't like about Trump, like protectionism and closing the borders, so acclamation is not on the table, but on the other hand, there are also absolutely things the HN gestalt will like such as opposition to TPP, and probably having a significantly higher chance of getting the Feds out of marijuana enforcement than you would have seen under Clinton. I also think there's a much greater chance that Trump will pull back on the military interventions that it seems like many people don't even realize we're currently participating in. (We actually have a lot of military "actions" going on right now.)

Much of that probably depends on what he actually does, but much of that also depends on whether people look at what he actually does instead of what they're told about what he does.
There are definitely some people who've appealed way too strongly to evangelicals in the past. 12 years ago I'd be solid Democrat for their stances on important social issues. And the traditional Republicans don't go nearly as far as they should. I think that tax revenue is a good proxy for comparing relative power. In this sense, Madison gave us a concrete measurement for his vision of how big of a role the federal government should play:

It is true, that the Confederacy is to possess, and may exercise, the power of collecting internal as well as external taxes throughout the States; but it is probable that this power will not be resorted to, except for supplemental purposes of revenue; that an option will then be given to the States to supply their quotas by previous collections of their own; and that the eventual collection, under the immediate authority of the Union, will generally be made by the officers, and according to the rules, appointed by the several States. Indeed it is extremely probable, that in other instances, particularly in the organization of the judicial power, the officers of the States will be clothed with the correspondent authority of the Union. Should it happen, however, that separate collectors of internal revenue should be appointed under the federal government, the influence of the whole number would not bear a comparison with that of the multitude of State officers in the opposite scale. Within every district to which a federal collector would be allotted, there would not be less than thirty or forty, or even more, officers of different descriptions, and many of them persons of character and weight, whose influence would lie on the side of the State. The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected.

A glance at Wikipedia shows the IRS collects 7.7 times as much income tax revenue as the sum of all state income tax revenue. So to a first approximation, a Madison federal government would be 308 times smaller than our current one. That's crazy-talk to any traditional Republican, no matter how much they pretend to talk about states' rights and limited government.

Ron Paul, his son Rand Paul, and Ted Cruz have all expressed thoughts along these lines, and they seem to be gaining support compared to the evangelicals. Assuming Trump wins again in 2020, we'll see if the trend continues for truly limited federal government in 2024.
Well, there's another historic precedence - Baltic Germans. Do you afraid that they maybe coming due to historic precedence too? Ask Czech Republic about them and "obliteration of culture". Do Czechs afraid of Germany coming back?

Again, I'm not trying to say that "big scary bear" is actually teddy bear. I just cannot imagine Russia being able to invade any country in EU. It's like saying there's a chance Russia would invade USA. Is it worth uranium and some bases? Doubt so. Does Russia have any resources or technical capabilities to confront EU? Doubt they ever will.

Also, about self-preservation - look at your emigration proportions [2] (shame they don't show trends - just pie charts :( ). Only this year trend is positive, but still estonians flee the country.

I was. I was told it was because we handled PCI and HIPPA data for various clients, and that a clean drug test was required for compliance with those rules. When I asked if now-legal marijuana coming up on the drug test would be considered a failure of the test and thus cancel my onboarding, I was told it would.

Whether or not the reasons I was given were bogus or not, I would be in no way surprised if my scenario happened at other companies as well.
Silicon Valley investors call for California to secede after Trump win
Trump has only ever been against ILLEGAL immigrants. If you come here legally through a visa program or other legal method, than you are fine. Its the border jumpers and people who overstay their legal welcome that he has always had the problem with.

I've read his books, watched his speeches, interacted with his supporters, and I've seen very little anti-foreigner sentiment. Its all anti-illegal-foreigner sentiment, which is fundamentally different.

> Seen the premium changes for 2017?

I'm amused by the Republican concern for rising premiums this year. My health insurance rates have gone up every year by 5-10% for the last 10 years after my work switched to high deductible plans. Between my employer and I the total cost of insurance is $14,400/year. That's more than the total income tax for a median income back in my country of birth. Just for insurance!

There are a lot of things wrong with the ACA/Obamacare but let's not pretend that the giant mess known as the American medical system is solely the responsibility of the Democrats. Every other OECD nation seems to have figured it out....

Yes, but other cameras don't have that. And it's not really about editing on smartphones. My 7D mk II is great for sports photography, but now sports means instant publish or don't shoot at all - most sports photographers now have somebody at their back with a laptop, editing in 30 seconds after the shutter stopped and sending the result to the publication website. I can't do that with my "sports" camera without investing quite a lot in an original wifi adapter or using an Eyefi.
It requests connections on port 8080 as well.

This may inhibit its use from some people behind a corporatish proxy/firewall.
Very interesting, great concept! The paper is on
my to-read list!

I am only afraid that the datasets you have used might not be of sufficiently quality for a neural network application. There are old recipes when the state of art in chemistry was at an earlier stage e.g. before the discovery of specific mechanisms, molecule classes, analytics and general concepts. Also, as mentioned in this thread, there are aspects of the synthetic chemists work and experience that might not be taken into consideration in this approach.
Right. We have the money. We just have to pick one thing from the choice of: Global military conquest, or happy, healthy populace and infrastructure.
I think the author is imagining going from shutter press to a CMS or social media in seconds. Any workflow that involves a computer at all has already lost.

If cameras can produce JPEGs presumably they should be able to produce low-res JPEGs.
>It's to the best benefit of the country to just adopt unilateral free trade. No need to bargain

I'm not seeing Brazil, Japan or China adopt this philosophy --even the EU. If you were to start unilateral free trade what happens is others will protect themselves and you are left holding the deficit bag. Your consumers will be happy (yay consumerism!), but your wage-earners will not be happy.
Ah, I see the option now, which appears to be on by default. The test VM I just set up (a clean install from ubuntu-gnome-16.04-desktop-amd64.iso) doesn't copy or paste from host to guest or vice versa. I would be happy to log an issue in Github, is there any debug info I should provide?
I do mostly C++ dev work in Visual Studio, and occasionally run CAD/Engineering tools, in addition to processing large data files. ALso, I usually have 1-2 VMs running in the background (but they dont see much use). I used to think 16GB was enough, till I upgraded to 32GB. A lot of the benefit is derived from the fact that I never shutdown my PC, and so the cached data tends to stick around for a long time (last time I rebooted was around 75 days ago). I've run perfmon over the course of a week and watched my page faults drop as more and more stuff gets cached. I won't say its going to be the same for you but IMHO its worth a shot. You could at the very least test how much time you're spending on page faults over the course of a week or so since per-day savings would probably be minimal.
I think this analysis is incorrect. Edwards' affair was a problem because it told people he wasn't a trustworthy or professional guy. He brought his mistress along on the campaign trail. Meanwhile he depicted himself as a standup guy. It outed him as a phony with bad judgement.
> the chances that the computer has a distro/configuration I would want to use is basically zero

Couldn't agree more (as a Fedora user myself! - Ubuntu is typically the "blessed" distro on these systems for various reasons).

However, "linux support" is more than a chosen distro - it's the supporting code necessary to make linux a first-class citizen on the given hardware (driver support, setup scripts, porting popular software, etc...), as well as support knowledge and training at the OEM (bash is bash, and Firefox is Firefox on Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch or whatever).
Spot on. People have to realize promises have next to zero value, they would say anything in order to be elected.

You have to judge those people by their track record, actual actions, not just empty words... which leaves both with very poor credentials.
You say "the Senior", so maybe this also means being in charge of other people? If it's just individual contributor, comment from emeraldd is good advice.

If you'll also be a team lead, https://www.amazon.com/Behind-Closed-Doors-Management-Progra... is good book to read on management.

Also: spend the first 30 days just listening as much possible, not making suggestions. If there are things that need improving go and try to improve them directly yourself, or do it afterwards. But if there are problems make sure you spend the time to figure out why people are doing bad things, and don't just criticize.

"Our government offers free university education, so even less well off blue collar families could send their kids to good schools."

Here in the US, we actually have a decent Community College system which, while not free, tend to be very reasonably priced. Obama proposed leveraging this system as a low cost option for people who don't want to run up massive education debt.
"White privilege" as a phrase vastly oversimplifies the cultural hierarchy.

It is probably rather insulting to a unemployed rust belt white man with no degree, who is getting by on social assistance, to be tagged by some well-off person on the coasts with a professional degree, that they are suffering from "white male privilege".

For a start, such "privilege" is not terribly applicable in this case. Regardless of whether the professional is not white and/or not male, the professional with the degree is in the "higher caste" in American society compared to the unemployed white man with no degree.

Many articles that use such phrases as "white privilege" tend to be accusatory and overly moralizing. If that's not insulting, at the very least you are not going to change any minds. (As an example from the "other side", my brother works at Citigroup. Guess what I start thinking of a person's argument when they start descending into an "evil Wall Street elite" meme?)

I agree that "white privilege" exists but there are better ways to phrase this -- at the very least, acknowledge and understand the other side.
