You just hate crappy democracy. Actually, the U.S. isn't even a democracy anymore. If anything, Trump winning is a return to the lost democracy, although it remains to be seen whether the country will be more democratic or even less than when he became president, after he leaves office.

But I think the US model of democracy (or republic, whatever) is a pretty bad one, and the country is in a dire need of top to bottom electoral reform. But I barely even see anyone talking about this.

Also, in more democratic countries, the media is significantly more regulated during elections. For instance, they have to give all parties equal time on TV, and other stuff like that to ensure the media bias is limited.

So if you think the U.S. is a democracy, it's a dysfunctional one at best.
You mean you haven't been cashing in your monthly white-privilege cheques?

Ask HN: Pursuing a STEM masters program in the post-trump US?
Given the stance Trump has taken, does it make sense to pursue a STEM masters in the US? Will it be possible to recover the costs (from an international student's perspective) and find work?

> They reacted the exact same way any political party would react against their opponent.

No, no they didn't. "any political party" does not react against their opponent winning an election by spending 8 years denying they have any legitimacy and stonewalling them entirely.

> sure they could have, by not voting for him (Obama)

Where do you get the idea that the people who voted for Trump also voted for Obama?

Yes, that's where the airport is :)

We are talking about the US election voting splits, so the British definition is interesting, but not relevant. In the US, blue collar usually means some sort of physical labor. If you are sitting at a desk, it is white collar, no matter how menial the task.

Magiumlib – THE SELENIUM-BASED TESTING FRAMEWORK FOR PEOPLE WHO HATE TESTING
Even before the Roman Empire, there were trade focused sea faring groups with significant influence, as seen on a map of Greek & Phoenician colonies[1]. The Carthaginians even sailed around West Africa and reached as far as Gulf of Guinea to search for precious metals[2].

I would expect the largest, most successful cities to be located on the coast, or in extremely fertile regions like the Nile Delta or Mesopotamia. Couldn't find any pretty visualisations that would show that though, so I might be wrong.

Well that's the question isn't it. Power corrupts. It is and always has been the way. At the moment democracy is the fairest system we have. But it doesn't contain any safeguards against electing extreme, populist candidates who may be damaging to their country and wider world.
Did Trump articulate how he would change the US though? I agree that Clinton was mostly campaigning against Trump, but Trump's campaign was even worse in this regard.

Hillary did not have a convincing plan and mostly wanted to continue and see where things go. Trump has promised a lot of fairy tales. It seems to me that the only concrete things that Trump has promised to do is to backpedal on the equality rights.

One thing I'll say: I've observed the election results on many sites and the work web guys put into having us understand all this complex data: amazing. I couldn't vote in California, but this page at least gives me super clear understanding of whats going on, very quickly.
Canada is not bad if you feel comfortable in that weather.

There are some cultural differences, but at a professional level it is very similar to the US.

They do seem friendlier though. Much friendlier.
Parties would work pretty well if we had several viable ones. And that in turn only takes a few changes to the voting system.
Very much disagree. Check out a small town in the South, some fishing village in the North East, go to Alaska or Hawaii, watch a high school Football game on a nice Friday night in Texas. Enjoy some Jazz in New Orleans...I think the USA is dripping with culture(s). Even the mega cities are very rich. NYC has a very distinct feel, LA has movie culture which is very much a US thing.

But the USA is also a country of immigrants and natives. It seems silly to toss out immigrants who have actually enriched the culture of the country. I think it's fantastic that you feel the German influence in Pennsylvanian, there are Chinatowns in most cities, I've heard rumors that there might be some Irish influence in Boston etc. etc.

I am a little sad that the native culture isn't a bit stronger.
This is a strawman. "the same attitude as" is a much weaker statement than "just like".

>rights like being allowed to carry a gun in public which is vigorously defended by large parts of the population.

Just FYI that's actually different depending on local laws. I don't live in an open carry state so I very much don't have the right to carry a gun in public. Not unless I went through the rigorous process to get a carry permit.
From the article:

"Unfortunately, Elm isn’t a library. It’s a language, which just happens to have a great library"

I don't know why we're arguing about this. It's another blog poster writing about something new they tried for one particular project, and in this case literally "why it's wrong". (After two weeks.) It's hard to take seriously.

Only 70% of America believes that climate is changing. This will keep rising and soon people will focus on this. I think in 2 years Trump will acknowledge climate change too. He will have to.
In Scandinavia you could get by with English as a lot of people speak it, but for business dealings you need to learn the local language.

If nothing else you will need to communicate with the authorities constantly - immigration/work permit matters, insurances, health care, etc.

So don't expect English to carry you far unless you know at least the basics of the local language.
As a European I believe that massive investments into defense are necessary. I hope that we start pulling our weight in NATO now.

Mods don't see every post, so if you have questions like this it's probably better to email them. They've always been very helpful when I've emailed.

If I was guessing why people flagged it: It's politics. There's currently a flood of polictical stuff. Current US politics is incredibly polarised and polarising, and a lot of the HN threads about trump or clinton have really deeply unpleasant posts (from both sides).

I am interested in what people think about how the election result will affect them as employees or affect their businesses.

Well the left needs to get their act together and form some political party and then start running candidates in elections. They don't have one right now.

Russian military spending has increased in real terms for the last few years and they've ordered 2000 high-spec new tanks. What do you think they need them for?
Honestly, I think that is mostly how he will behave. His "headline" behaviour in this election has been done to get media coverage. Hillary outspent him but if you look at how much coverage has been on Donald Trump, than it is almost an unfair race. But now that he's president, I predict that will change.
These countries has been ruled by germans, danes, poles, swedes, etc for many hundreds of years. So what is your point? There is much more german loan words in estonian language than russian ones which would tell you something about which culture had the bigger impact.
I am so interested in answers to this question....
Here's the thing: Trump would have won by a wider margin if he had a clean tax history and wasn't on tape bragging about groping women. But, if you take away his early, inflammatory statements about (illegal?) Mexican immigrants, I think the net results might be fewer votes, but only because those comments seems to propel his media coverage. Trump was great for ratings, and frankly will continue to be. It's been a rich ride if you're CNN and FOX. But also, I think left-leaning media wanted him to be the candidate, because they though he embodied the "racist Republican" characterization Democrats always had in their playbook. I'm not sure if overt racism was a net vote-getter though.

Speaking of free media coverage... Citizens United, a.k.a unfettered super-pac spending seemed to play no part in this election. I think Clinton and her supporters outspent Trump in every measurable way.
This seems to me, as a Swede, as the same rhetoric used by nationalists here in Sweden as well as nationalists in other countries.
But it's more a feeling than a fact.

" - if an white European American expresses pride at his cultural heritage, then he's usually derided as nativist, racist, xenophobic, or, worst of all -- an old fogey."

This is also just your words and feelings, not an example of where a white European American expresses pride at his cultural heritage and is derived as something negative.

So in summary, you're voting for an extremist far-right party because:

1. You don't have a girlfriend

2. You blame an entire race for your cousin being raped

3. Women were promoted

4. You feel society owes you thanks and praise.

But you're not a spoiled child.
It would have been about left vs. right if Sanders had been the nominee, since neither of them was a status quo candidate. Sanders has ardent supporters, but not very many of them.
So far, those are only fluctuations affected mostly by speculation. We have to wait a few months to see the real effects.
I'd have said it went all the way back to the Civil War and the Jacobite insurgencies. Certainly NI's sectarianism is explicit about the Battle of the Boyne 1688.
There's a strong disconnect amongst the beneficiaries of globalization that the status quo is overall good -- it's probably TERRIBLE for a quarter of the people, treading water for half, and beneficial to the remainder who are in positions that leverage cultural and technological progress.

A lot of communities are absolutely gutted by rural flight and the shift of power to urban tech centers, and they're really hurting. This is a consistent theme across many Westernized nations.
Dispensories are not yet licensed to sell to individuals without a card. To do that they require another type of license, and none of those licenses have been issued yet.

Let's get real. No one is going to Canada. This is just grist and posturing for the social media mill. But it's still fun.

Trump does not take himself seriously, so why should you. The trump presidency is going to be a clusterfuck, gaffes galore, pure comedy but hopefully eventually harmless and the bigger risk is people overreacting.

Seriously nothing can be worse than the sinister and duplicitious behind the scenes status quo represented by Hilary Clinton and her ilk. This is 4 years for the entrenched frauds and clowns in politics and media to reassess their ruling strategies as it appears nearly everyone can now see through their bullshit and crave honesty and sincerity even if its ugly.
Oh absolutely. Democracy is sometimes seen as boring, but actually each election is a full-on revolution that realy does topple governments. One thing about the result is it kind of exposes Assange as the narcissistic batshit conspiracy nut that he really is[0].

Do you think Glass-Steagall liberalization or Silicon Valley brilliance made flyover-state citizens say "Wow, thanks for innovating all of that technology to help Walmart bean counters find ways to keep price points for common goods low enough to justify why my boss pays me near minimum wage"?

Or, maybe, do you think social media made flyover state citizens with no opportunity says "WTF WHY DOES THE INTERNET THINK I AM AN INBRED RACIST SEXIST HOMOPHOBIC BIGOTED EVIL PERSON BECAUSE I DON'T THINK ELLEN IS ALL THAT FUNNY AND THEY DOGPILED ME ON TWITTER?"

Unlike just about any other country in the world, the US will tax you even if you don't live or derive your income there.

Furthermore, also unlike every other country in the world, the US will only deduct the paxes you paid in the other country from the taxes it thinks you owe it on income you earn+spend while living abroad. Every other country considers your tax obligations fulfilled.

She has a good chance of ending up leading the first round. However so far she only has a chance to win 2nd round if she's against Hollande. And I don't see how he could get to the 2nd round.

I don't think this can happen, but there are still 6 months left and I didn't think Trump could win either.
If you travel to some rural areas in the Midwest you'll see that the economy has not been improving for everyone recently. Most of their wages have stagnated while the price of most goods/services has risen. And there isn't much opportunity unless they move to a major urban area. Not everyone wants that. They love where they live, but they've watched their small farming and factory towns crumble.

We all know that the majority of the gains in our economic rebound have gone to the wealthy. Stability in an economic sense just means more safe consistent returns for those who own the capital, pushing inequality ever higher. Is it rational to try to disrupt the whole system to spite the few winners? Probably not. But I understand how these people feel. I grew up in a small town in Michigan. Now I live on the East Coast because I need to work. I don't personally mind being displaced, and I'm lucky/skilled enough to find good employment. But not everyone is like me.

This kind of reaction is what makes it forbidden for white westerners "to cultivate, maintain, and respect" their own culture. This kind of reaction, multiplied milionfold via media - both social and traditional alike - which can sometimes lead you to lose your job, or home.

I get it - mistakes were made, some people in the past got trampled in order for the West to get where it is. We can, and should, absolutely talk about it[0]. But living our lives in despair over the "privilege"? Feeling constantly guilty for being born? That's an overreaction.

Frankly, all that privilege talk seems to be just an attempt to guilt-trip the west into self-destructing.

We don't really know yet. There are two (quite likely) possible options. A shift in the voter demographics and/or the "shy tory" (people not admitting to vote conservative because a negative social consequences).

Polls are never truely objective even if they try to be. You always have underlying assumptions about how to get a representative sample.

The third option would be that the polls were rigged. After reading the leaked Podesta mails this doesn't seem too unlikely but still less likely then other possible reasons.

I completely agree with you as well, so tired of feminism, leftish idiocracy, hate on white males etc etc.
