You're right that people and businesses are self-serving. In The Netherlands we see that refugees don't want to work for lower wages because they will have to contribute to the shelter as soon as they start making money. This morning an article was published stating that someone who would work on a farm for a month would have only €169 to spend after paying the shelter for housing them. So there's definitely work to be done.

Regarding businesses, they do get subsidized when they hire a refugee or someone who has been unemployed over a longer period of time. In addition to that, businesses hiring more than 30% from these groups can mention that they're an MVO business (Social Responsible Business). These companies have extra training and/or extra support.

Having that said: it's like you said "tax breaks, public goodwill, advertising.

I will see how I can get the message more clear on the website. Thanks for your response!

I agree with you in general, but the first two examples you cited are all more comfortable on the GUI for me.

TortoiseSVN was a breakthrough for me. After switching to git, it was painful to try to remember all the different commands, wade through commit logs and find the hashes of commits. I see TortoiseGit exists, but since my org is still on SVN i haven't really given it a try.

Database admin, same thing. CLI clients such as sqlplus or pgsql are ok, but I'll never be able to commit to memory the various commands to show tables, show all databases, describe a table, etc. The one exception is the mysql client which has sane defaults and easy-to-remember commands. I frequently switch dbs, so this is a must. Pgadmin, sql developer and even the buggy MySql Workbench are all more pleasant to work with than CLI, in most cases.

But this are just my preferences. If the CLI works better for everyone else, then great. Maybe I'm missing something, and maybe someone would give me a pointer to unlock the magic of CLI in these scenarios that would make me more productive
The evolutionary process in the republican party has been going on since Ross Perot ran as an Independent candidate in 92 and split the republican vote and gave the election to Clinton.

There has been a slowly growing populist faction on right that reject the Neo-con aggressive military policy. And has an America first trade policy that rejects NAFTA style free trade.

That movement had been building and finally broke through with Ron Paul in 2008. The populist movement and Liberty movement after Ron Paul has grown exponentially. It was only a matter of time before the Washington wing was challenged by the populists for control of the party.

That is what has allowed Trump to win the nomination. The populists in the party establishment supported Trump and the Washington wing was out numbered and had to concede and surrender. This is a process that has been in motion for over 20 years to bring the Republican party to the quite amazing transformation.

> His head-over-heels support for a decidedly anti-libertarian candidate like Trump

Is Trump anti-libertarian? His policies seem fairly libertarian to me. I suppose being anti-abortion could be considered anti-libertarian, and maybe you could frame his immigration stance as non-libertarian? But i'm not sure. Libertarians don't necessarily extend their liberty to non-citizens.

Are you thinking of some others? I'm perfectly willing to be wrong about this. I just can't think of any major instances where he deviates from what i'd consider to be a libertarian agenda.
That's exactly my thought. Short wave wireless to enable extremely high throughput things like uncompressed video (as if it's a wireless HDMI cable) as well as complex signals like accelerometer telemetry, etc mean this is a perfect technology to make the Oculus wireless.

The article mirrors my beliefs quite well; but on a meta level, I can't believe we are still having this conversation. Why can we describe sub-atomic particles, but not settle this cultural divide with conclusions based on data that we have abundantly gathered? Is it because results are forged? Or are metrics (e.g. IQ Tests) unstable (not reproducible)? Are we pulling conclusions out of thin air? All these gender studies should be put under review.

There was one interesting question and answer:

Q: "I find that the reasons given in this thread[0] regarding a particular certificate revocation are highly unsatisfactory. Can you justify how this revocation aligns with the views expressed in "The CA's Role in Fighting Phishing and Malware" without resorting to "Microsoft asked us to and therefore we had to?"

A: "If we want to be a trusted CA we need to comply with the MS root program rules (and Mozilla/Google/Apple/etc... rules). If they want us to revoke a cert we have to do it, we don't really have a choice."

So do I get it right, that if MS or any other big company doesn't like my URL, site content etc. they can ask to revoke my certificate just like that? Wow..

We agree that Trump is not the most savory of characters.

We agree that he has said some controversial things, including more than a few that I don't agree with.

We agree that his acceptance speech offers a glimmer of hope and that he might be able to bring about some positive change.

Let's hope that's the case.
I don't begrudge anyone. You can choose a commercial license and get paid. But people don't choose commercial licenses because they want adoption and free support of their tools. I have nothing against 'open-core' with 'expansion-packs' that actually target niches and require development effort - switching redis commands doesn't meet that requirement for me and thus is fails into the category of 'intentional gimping' which I think takes advantage of your community who isn't getting any of that 80k/mo.

That said, Sidekiq is, by no means, egregious here but it's a problem which deserves to be called out.
I suspect it's your unequivocal use of the word "had". All we know for sure that they had was one unreplicatable experiment which has since been shown to be deeply flawed in both execution and observation.
I agree with some of this, but the main difference between AT&T and Facebook is that FB is controlling what you're receiving.

Imagine if USPS sent you things that were sent to you, but also random packages they thought were good for you.

Facebook, even just through its algorithm, is exercising some editorial control and distribution.

> As more and more developers start to see the advantages of components and unidirectional architectures, the focus will be on building better tools and libraries that go down that path.

"Unidirectional architecture" is a weird name for what is a fairly standard abstraction. Every front-end at the top level is:

f(my_entire_state, some_event) -> my_entire_state'

In the end all you need are well defined state transitions, an event bus and a main loop to connect the two. Persist the sequence of events for undo/redo, audit, debugging ... and the current state for caching or having durability between sessions. Push side-effects to the boundaries. You may find this is good enough.

Front-end development has been plagued by unclear patterns w/ weird names (MVC, MVVM, MXYZ...) since forever; everytime the patterns are criticized you hear "you did not understand it"; and new names keep popping up. It seems the industry is stuck remixing reasoning around nouns, and is unable to step back and reason around data.

BONUS:
Sprinkle some CSP to get elegant concurrency, throw away callback-hell.
Sprinkle some React to get fast DOM manipulation, throw away Flux (heresy!) - it has way too many names to worry about (action creator, action, dispatcher, callbacks, stores, store events, views) and encourages some bad practices around use of stores.

I agree with your point, but as a small note, the IRS limits the tax deduction for charitable donations to half of your adjusted gross income (AGI), or even lower. This is particularly relevant to people like Warren Buffett, who last year gave away 250 times more than his AGI (according to numbers he released earlier this year). He still paid taxes.

Agreed. MVC has always been sort of an awkward pattern for frontend web development. The fact that the DOM is extrinsic to the JS runtime can lead to a messy collaboration of MVC components. An input that makes an AJAX request on each keystroke and renders the results to a list (typeahead.js for example) is easy to implement but involves quite a bit of indirection with this paradigm.

That being said, I don't know how to feel about Angular 2's approach to components. Decorators are useful but can diminish the benefits of component based architecture when misused.

- Thiel is a founder of Palantir, a.k.a. the private branch of the NSA.

- He also has strong vested interests in the health of hedge funds and the financial industry, as well as strong opinions favoring deregulation.

- He does not believe in global warming or the urgency of combating it.

- His statements in the past have shown lack of respect/consideration for minorities and women.
Stereotypes are literally heuristics for "difference in distribution". Curiously you used just such a heuristic when you said "articles like this".

If knowledge of distributions isn't useful, then why did you rely on knowledge of distributions to make a blanket judgment about articles like this?
Maybe there can be some seasteading experiment after all? I'd be really curious to see how it would play out. Seems like a crazy idea worth trying despite all the counterarguments I can think of simply to collect data/experience as it might be valuable for future "crazy" endeavors like populating a different planet.
Interesting isn't it. Just like the media, who just until 2 days ago were sure Trump will never win this one, and now are confidently telling us what the next 4 years would be.

Well I am having a blast watching CNN and NBC and I don't usually watch TV, but now I put it on for entertainment...
That's one way to look at it. Another way (and I'm trying hard not to endorse one viewpoint or the other, I've heard both) is:

Liberals are tired of the Clintons. They're tired of nominating people just left of center who fail to inspire them, while candidates who speak their mind and call for change (Bernie) are ignored by both the DNC and the mass media. They perceive, rightly or wrongly, that Republicans have been fighting a battle while Democrats make concessions to people who are unwilling to compromise. And now that the most outspoken, uncompromising candidate has won the election, they're being told to compromise again, to swallow their emotions and have a conversation with people who aren't interested in talking with them.

The media told them this was Hillary's turn. They were told to vote against Trump, but nothing about what they were voting for. They were told that feelings don't matter and to vote for the greater good, even while candidates within the party and without inspired based on emotion. Is it any wonder that turnout was down?
But it is happening. That is a fact. I see it in my own social circle. Friends who have spent many years defending "centrist" Democrats, and now they finally see that "centrists" are the problem. They are waking up. They are seeing the need for something more radical. I've had some variation of that conversation a dozen times in the last 48 hours. And of course, it isn't just my friends. It is happening all over the country. This election will mark the end of the "centrist" Democrat. That really is the only benefit that this election brings.

It definitely looks like Qt but I am surprised that Qt is not using any native controls on iOS. It tries to use native controls or at least a native look and feel if possible (it does so on Windows and macOS at least). On the other hand, I don't know anything about mobile app development and apis that iOS gives you so I cannot tell whether such a thing is possible in iOS at all.
This comes from his philosophy BA at Stanford, which is a department largely of the analytic school. He is, broadly speaking, positivist. The idea of science we have is closer to the German Wissenschaft which has a more encyclopedic meaning, more about the organization of knowledge, and less strict in it epistemology which in the analytic school is very narrow and in its crude expression simply empiricist.
The journalists who cover science have lost credibility because of the journalists who cover politics? Why would you think those things are related?
Is this (post, thread) on-topic for HN? Seems to fall pretty definitively into the politics / TV news category.

(Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.)

In your thought process is the right thing to promote the people who doubted, and in some cases outright campaigned against him?

The country voted and chose Trump. That means that they also chose him to pick the people that he'll be surrounding himself with to make decisions.

I went to a school that operated in this way, it was clearly superior to what I had to go back to the traditional ways of learning once I graduated from high school.

We were divided into classes or groups with a mentor who help you set the goals for the week. Then you went to the workshops if you had any questions that weren't fulfilled by browsing internet or asking friends.

This way you could easily finish the subjects that came easily to you and you could put more time into those who you had a hard time with.

I am not making the equivalency, it was an example to illustrate my point that criticizing an ideology should not be seen as insulting some people.
I saw that tweet, but also saw that many of the protests are being organized by the George Soros backed, MoveOn.org.

That's George Soros the billionaire backer of Hillary Clinton and also someone in opposition to Trump's anti-globalist agenda.

I have no doubt many of the protestors are genuinely protesting against what they believe Trump will mean for the nation. However I do also question the motives of people stirring that up, especially when protests become violent and cause damage to people and property.

> Trump has to be the one to work toward unity, to reach out to the groups he has inarguably alienated.

I agree and I think he made overtures to this in his acceptance speech. He does need people to meet him at the discussion table though, and violent protests, and burning effigies of Trump don't help achieve that aim.
Typically how it went for me was I would see an emotionally charged headline in my feed from a website or blog with a palpable agenda, and then I would seek out a couple other, more fact-based articles covering the same story. But what I found was that initial "encounter" still set the tone for me, and also served as the prime metric of my engagement with Facebook. So its algorithms learned pretty quickly that I "liked" stories like that, and that drew more people of like mind, but whom I didn't really talk to face-to-face, into my circle.

Not sure how characteristic that is for folks, but that's how I found myself consuming news eventually, and a big part of why I quit it.

Oh, it was strange all right.
OP didn't say "not useful" - it was couched more moderately, which I imagine still allows for the possibility of unforeseen greater uses.

But the specific point made seems sound to me. The hypothetical 5 point difference would not be a sufficient explanatory factor for most scenarios.
> HuffingtonPost had a 98% chance of Hillary winning at the end. I really hope someone holds them accountable for that

What's the evidence for them being wrong?

To be clear, I'm not arguing that they were correct. But I see a trend of attacking any prediction (including those of 538) that rated a Trump victory at less than 50% likelihood as wrong, based on the evidence that he won.

If I predict there's a less than 1% chance of you winning the lottery, you winning the lottery doesn't prove that I was wrong.

I have no idea what the likelihood of a Trump victory was before the election. Maybe it was 1%, maybe it was 99%. But I think discussion of predictions shouldn't be results-orientated for single results.
Hmm. Entirely possible certain APIs aren't available in a certain way. I wonder if it's possible to "skin" it, in a fashion.

Not only static typing. I just found a bug in an open source python tool that crashed because of a missing member variable in a class. You have to assign a value in the attribute to create it. It requires careful programming to not get such errors. It is also easy to accidentaly create a member variable.

The time you gain by being able to hack some code together is lost by these types of error unless you are a very disciplined programmer.

Another kind of error with python is with blocks defined by vertical alignment. It is easy to make errors when you copy past code and the alignment is not corrected.

When you are under pressure or tired, your discipline may weaken. And this is difficult for inexperienced programmers.

You don't have these problems with go and the normalized formating helps a lot.
