Hmm. I don't think I said it was racism or misogyny, but since we're talking about it:

I do think there was quite a lot of bigotry. In particular, I think the campaign repeatedly conflated Muslims with terrorists (to the point that a religious test for immigration was suggested). The candidate also said a number of things that could be construed as misogynistic, though I'm the first to admit that all of this "locker room talk" is probably as much the product of insecure posturing as it is a formulation of any particular view towards women per se--a product of a child-mind exposed to a misogynistic culture, not of a misogynist.

Part of my surprise is that that bigotry is not a deal breaker, as I said in reply to a different comment. Part of my surprise is that the electorate did not detect the unrealistic nature of the policy proposals (such as they are).
> I hope the rich elites are horrified today.

The rich? They're getting their tax cuts...
>Yet net migration figures stayed around 350k, which showed that either the politicians were not really engaging or were ineffective.

Which, consulting Wikipedia’s list of countries by net migration, puts us below (amongst many others) Norway, Spain, Australia, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, Ireland and Portugal. So it’s not exactly an unreasonably large number of immigrants we’re talking about here. (Especially when you consider that our net migration figures are bogus, since international students are wrongly included in them. Around 135,000 non-EU students entered the UK in 2014, for example.)

>I also don't see how you can call the idea of restricting that "mad". Genuinely I don't. I understand you can disagree, I understand you can disagree with the premises it's based on. But how is it "mad"?

We have an aging population and an economy that was just coming out of a recession. It’s not difficult to see why we need more immigrants. They’re young and net contributors to the economy. The idea that we could make things any better by shutting everyone out is, simply, mad. Perhaps in the short term some unemployed British people could switch from being unemployed to doing very badly paid, very menial jobs that are currently being done by Polish people. The net cost to the economy would most likely be far greater than the cost of simply increasing their benefits, though.

>Your insistence on only dealing with the conservative government is also puzzling when we're talking about something that goes far further back.

I don’t think I am insisting on that (?) I’m not quite sure what you mean.

Immigrants really don't take jobs from those who live here. They end up in jobs most natives never look for in the first place. So who do they really displace? Low skilled immigrants work more than low skilled natives, they commit less crime, they use less welfare, and they tend to marry more.

Thank you ! This is EXACTLY what got me to go vote. I wasn't even planning on going, and finally I just hit the tipping point of negative-smear campaign BS and I said, "alright, if you treat me like a child, I'm going to rebel like a child" and I voted for exactly who they told me I shouldn't. I had every intention of staying home.
Yeah, it takes me about 1:15-1:20 each way, but most of it is on public transportation and I can get work done / play Pokemon / read / relax. I don't want to pay $4K a month to live in SF.
>One fifth is a market segment that is large enough to cater for

Keep in mind that that's 21.7% of stack overflow users (i.e. developers), not users in general.

According StatCounter (based on browser stats), GNU/Linux represented 1.44% of desktop/laptop OS as of last month. Perhaps developers are more likely to use these laptops in particular, but they're unlikely to be 100% of users.
He changed in plenty of things, for example he went moderate on gun control. But he has been on the right side of a lot of social issues for a long time. Politicians everywhere have gravitated towards the same area he has also been inhabiting.

Also your comment is pretty needlessly rhetorical. Doesn't address anything.
I meant it as a compliment to the reader. Namely, that you are smart enough to figure out and discover the best path forward. You don't need everyone in the entertainment community to guide you on economic, moral, and national betterment.

For that matter, you should not need my comments either, you truly have the capacity to think. I'm only here for conversation, to provide strength and support.

A submarine would have to be very autonomous, though. Getting a high-bandwidth signal to it for real-time control (without it surfacing) would be a huge challenge. A surface ship can just use old-fashioned radio.

The problem with SJW culture is not that they want respect, it's the utterly disrespectful, hostile, and dogmatic way they go about demanding it, and defining it.
I don't know why you are being downvoted.

If you really are willing to change to a different software (or see/listen a different movie/music) just because you are not willing to pay a dollar, then the value of that software/song/movie really is lower than a dollar.

How is that controversial?
And this type of post is how we got there. Thanks for illustrating the problem :)
Hence "we should accept that there will be less work created."

"I'm not sure how this will solve the problem. You'll still get artificial lines and physical and economic barriers. They'll just be drawn between cities and rural areas instead of between countries."

The point is that they don't have to be so immutable. We don't have to tie together two populations that don't want to be together if it's less of a Major World Shift to draw a new line between them and declare a new polity, or merge two polities that have no great need to be separate anymore.

A lot of the conflict in the US right now is in some sense artificial, imposed by the lines that exist. The truth is, what does it matter to San Francisco if the heartland is "racist homophobic bigots" and what does it matter to the heartland if San Francisco are "globalists engaged in foolish social policies and crazy obsessions with things that don't matter", if they weren't bound together by centuries-old lines? Obviously economic ties continue either way, because trade is flowing regardless and neither of the two are, in practice, all that concerned about the other places in the world that have the same description. It's only the people you're locked in the room with that bother you. Maybe we should unlock the door instead of having increasingly bitter and violent fights about who gets the couch tonight.

That entire fund was grown long after these policies. In fact Norway was one of the poorest countries in Europe as they were being implemented.
Maturity means perspective.

This is extremely difficult for everyone after a campaign with as much fear and fear-mongering on both sides. The voices calling for moderation and composure are not unemotional, they may just have a different perspective.

The DNC did sabotage Sanders' nomination and (apparently) support Trump for the Republican nomination. Besides that, the American Left has been absolutely ruthless in dismissing and demonizing poor, white, and Christian people. I definitely think there is plenty of blame to go around.

Most things would not make me seriously consider leaving the US. The one thing that could do it would be if the GOP totally screwed up healthcare.

Unfortunately, it looks like that may be the direction they are going. Both the plan that the House put forward a few months ago and Trump say that pre-existing conditions should not stop people from being covered, nor should those people pay more. Both seem to want it to stay insurance based.

...and both do not seem to have any way to get people who are healthy to actually get insurance.

That does not work. It was tried, unintentionally, in the state of Washington in the '90s. In 1993, the state passed a healthcare law that required insurers to cover those with pre-existing conditions, capped premiums, made premiums similar for young and the old, and had a phase in over time of mandates for individuals and employers to purchase insurance.

Then the control of the legislature changed hands, and much of it was repealed. However, the requirement to cover pre-existing was kept because the legislature knew that repealing that would be quick political suicide.

Of course, people quickly figured out that they could cut way back on insurance until they actually needed it. For example, a woman might go without any insurance that covers pregnancy and related costs until she actually got pregnant, and then she would get that insurance.

The result? Within a few years, not a single major insurance provider offered individual health insurance in Washington. For most residents, if you wanted health insurance you needed to find an employer that provided it as a benefit.

Later they made more changes that allowed for higher rates, and while still requiring coverage of pre-existing conditions allowed insurance companies to impose a nine month wait before coverage starts. That got insurers to come back, but individual insurance was no longer very affordable.
> and yes, the people that voted for Trump are racists, sexists, etc.,

Not a Trump supporter, I don't like him and I live on another continent, but I do not like the way some of you want to paint everyone who doesn't agree with you as morally corrupt and divide USA even more.

Please guys, for your own good, stop, take a step back and think about why this happened.

I argue that if the reason was that 50% of the voters are stupid haters then you would had an real problem long before this election.

The problem is not what is happening now. N years ago professionals started to buy macbooks. Because they are largely the people other people listen to when there is to make a technological choice, and because the product was sounding, in a few years Apple got a very large percentage of non professional customers. Now they should be worried of the same thing: they left many professionals looking for alternatives, and a competitor can exploit these "trend setters" providing a good product, that later may get mainstream.
As someone on the employer side of the table I see two frequent problems with university educated candidates that generally don't land the job:

1) irrelevant or (professionally) useless degrees. These would be fine but because they have a degree these candidates generally think they deserve a higher wage which I can't afford (before you say "but general knowledge is valuable as well" remember that self-taught candidates with similarly well-rounded knowledge generally demand less despite often having actual job experience)

2) complete lack of practical knowledge or skills. Even if a degree is job-related that doesn't mean they are capable of doing the job or have the frame of mind required to do the job properly. This is especially a problem with people who picked their majors based on what industry currently provides the best salaries rather than what they are actually interested in doing.

These are especially problems for people who went into university without knowing what they want to do professionally. TINSTAAFL but even if you just get a degree to orient yourself and pass time until you have figured out what you actually want to do with your life that can affect your employability.

There are two parallelism approaches in Racket, both of which provide OS threads. The most useful one for web servers is called 'places', and is somewhat like Erlang -- you can only communicate immutable serializable data between different places, as well as OS resources like file handles. I know other people have used places to scale web applications, but I haven't looked at how HN's design would be affected.

If you have questions about using this, please feel free to email me about it.
Dell, Lenovo, and HP support Linux on their "pro" PCs but they don't bother for their toy laptops like this Yoga that we're talking about.
"...but hearing the personal experiences of numerous people that have taken certain medications or had certain therapies is invaluable..."

...in roughly the same way that the personal experiences of numerous people of psychic phenomena, UFOs, and the supernatural are invaluable. Or personal experiences of the safety of commercial aviation. Or that the sky is blue.

Anecdotes aren't data, data isn't always applicable, other people are frequently more concerned with themselves than helping you, and your mileage will vary.

The way I see it, "inorganically" adding to the labor supply hinders the natural price discovery of the market.

Yeah it is, just depends on where it's coming from. It's less economically viable, but there's still a demand.
Free trade is the free lunch.

And those 1,200 jobs are just the visible ones. The extra billion dollars probably came with further negative effects somewhere else.

(German coal mining was (or still is?) in similar territory: the subsidy necessary to keep a few mining jobs around was way higher than what those guys got paid.)
All but maybe #5 and #8 require legislation and thus the cooperation of congress (including 60 votes in the Senate to defeat a potential Democrat filibuster).

My view is that the most important job of the President is to ensure the effective functioning of the executive branch agencies. This involves selecting good department heads and pursuing effective policies through the exercise of discretion in rule-making and executive orders.

This is vital, but largely esoteric and technical stuff. It's also an embodiment of the "system" and the "elites" that Trump campaigned against.

I see three possibilities as to how he handles this part of his job:

1. He doesn't actually care and entirely delegates it to people that do, likely the existing right-wing policy apparatus of pro-business, anti-regulation ideologues. The tenor of the agencies changes much as it did under George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, some qualified people leave, but the essential machinery of government continues operating.

2. He delegates the "boring stuff" (SEC, FAA, FDA, IRS, DOE, etc.) per 1 but uses the executive branch machinery to pursue projects that are personally and politically important to him, e.g. leaning on the DoJ to "lock her up" or destroying the EPA. The boring agencies continue to function, but others become plagued by strife and a loss of morale.

3. He blunders, has a health issue, or a serious scandal emerges that politically paralyzes him and nothing happens till he is replaced. Remember, while he's spent a long time in the public eye, he's escaped the usual scrutiny that has been given to the health and financial affairs of post-Nixon candidates.

It is the flavour of the year political topics maintained by a small percentage of college students. It'll soon fade from those buzzwords and take on a new ideology. Due to the internet, it seems like much bigger of an issue than it really is.

I don't disagree with you. Many people won't be fine and I will stand shoulder to shoulder with them against the bullshit they have to go through on a daily basis.

But given these things and putting food on the table and feeding their kids every day. What do you think people look to do first? Stand up for their principles, morals and beliefs or feed their kids? The other things can be fixed tomorrow in their minds.

I'm not saying I agree that these things should be swept aside, ignored, accepted, everything you state is important and needs to be fixed absolutely. But people care about themselves and their circumstance before their principles. They will satisfy their principles tomorrow once their kids are fed and their bills are paid.
Works fine here too, but you are correct that this is a serious issue that people are bumping into.

Here's a quote from the product line marketing manager from VMware Fusion on this topic [0]

We're really sorry about this situation, but rest assured it's our #1 bug right now.

It's technically both our and Apple's bug. The default behaviour of something we always called/did was changed in a later near-final build of 10.12, and that introduced this bug.

We and Apple are working together but like always we can't disclose timelines.

Please note that we are absolutely working on resolving this issue and issuing an update as soon as we can.

If you want to start a war, you need to tell people they are under attack: "Naturally, the common people don't want war ... the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

This works the same for culture wars, or "war on christmas" etc. People are fundamentally nice, they don't want to stop gay people from marrying, so you need to frame it as "an attack on traditional marriage" to get people riled up with righteous fury.

Pointing out the obvious fact that white people have advantages needs to be twisted too. By for example pointing out that a poor white man has problems that a rich non-white man doesn't. Totally ignoring the obvious comparison point being two poor men, or two poor women, or two rich men/women with different skin colors. Not getting the point becomes imperative, to maintain the illusion of it being an attack.
Whatever it is, you do to help, you cannot do it without a cost. And I think the problem in the US is less about what can one do to help and more about nobody wanting to be burdened with the cost.

And then people say that economic inequality is not a problem. This is exactly why economic inequality is a problem. Because you end up in situations where 1/3 of the country needs to be taxed to help the other 2/3 and that 1/3 does not feel like helping because they don't see any gain from it.
