The default is just a yes/no popup and is very easy to just click yes, even accidentally for tech savy users. For extra protection, don't give him the password.

I'm from Denmark, and we have the same policies but basically no natural resources that are worth anything anymore. Unlike the US of A.

It's not about oil, it's about realizing that a healthy, well educated and happy population is an investment that pays itself over time.
> USA does not have an oil fund that amounts do $150k per capita to pay for "free everything" (university education, universal health care, childcare)

The US federal government pays more per capita for health care than Norway, for one! The fact the US manages to pay so much per capita for healthcare and not have universal health care is actually quite an achievement.
Costs of what? Consumer electronics and appliances? The staples of life that matter most - food and housing - have not decreased in cost.
What policies do the current Conservative government, Labour, SNP government in Scotland, Plaid Cymru in Wales and the various parties in NI have in common?

I don't see how. The millions of Americans that voted for Trump are not the people that subscribe to /r/The_Donald or spread dank memes.

PC, SJW, etc... had no presence in the mainstream election, and it was the rural mainstream that won Trump the election. Not pepe & dank memes.
Please point out where I said anything about homophobia, racism, or misogyny.

And yes, I CAN divine what a person is like by who they vote for when the person they voted for is a ridiculous caricature with zero understanding about how any of this works. If you wouldn't go to a faith healer to get treated for a serious medical condition that required surgery, then why in the hell would you go to a completely unqualified, inexperienced buffoon to run the country?
The key complaint many will have against the various progressive policies in Scandinavia when applied to the US is not the petromoney but the reality of a more homogeneous and educated citizenry.

Despite AWS' claims otherwise, you can't just extend a service designed for 10 million to 320 million and expect even remotely the same performance.
> So if I read you well, you are saying that it's either they die of hunger, either they work in those factories. That sounds a bit like a false choice, of course they are forced to work in those factories, otherwise they die!

What's the alternative? They are not going to get any comfy middle-class jobs in their neck of the woods.

> The government of China is getting billions of $ because west firms make chinese people work for almost nothing. So chinese gov. isn't going to change anything, it's going so well for them that way. So the west firm are in fact encouraging those very poor conditions of work, they are NOT improving the living of those people.

Western governments or companies can't really do anything, can they? It's not their concern nor their duty to do anything about it. If the roles were reversed, you think that Chinese or African governments and companies would care about workers conditions in the West?

It's very easy to take the moral high ground when discussing this topic. But are you prepared to pay $10000 or more for your shiny new electronics? I'm pretty sure that most people are not. Truth is, as horrible as it may sound, that we all profit from this, and for the people working in those factories it's probably better than the alternative.
I like your points, I do think this is a big piece of the picture. I almost wish the polls let you vote either "for" a candidate or directly "against" a particular candidate - I think we'd see that many of the Trump voters would have preferred to vote "against" Clinton rather than "for" Trump.

You need to compare within countries or it doesn't matter. Asians in the US lives a lot longer than whites in the US. Also if you want to find poor whites you just have to look at Russia where they live shorter than even China. Therefore we can conclude that being born in the US is a privilege in terms of life span, but being white is not.

They really only had control for a couple of months. Abuse of the filibuster meant that they needed 60 votes in the Senate to get anything done. With Kennedy sick and Al Franken's election disputed, they didn't have 60 votes initially. After Kennedy died, the special election was won by a Republican, so they really only had 60 votes while Kennedy's interim replacement was in office. The ACA is what could be haphazardly slapped together and passed in that brief time.
I see, so the first statement was made in a context of only the windows ecosystem. It's exceptionally poor wording, since they aren't actually talking about "Locking specific hardware to Windows" but instead "ensuring specific hardware doesn't get support on older version of windows". Windows 10 and windows 8 and prior are all still "Windows".

In equilibrium, people get paid according to their productivity. (That's why eg China saw such huge wage raises over the last decades.)

So, just excluding or including some more people won't change the level of pay, as a first order effect.

There's no constant demand for labour. It expands and shrinks with supply. (And even then, the federal reserve can make arbitrary large amouts of demand. They can literally print money.)
because we can't get our shit together and fund infrastructure programs

In Trump's acceptance speech he explicitly mentions this:

We are going to fix our inner cities and rebuild our highways, bridges, tunnels, airports, schools, hospitals. We’re going to rebuild our infrastructure, which will become, by the way, second to none. And we will put millions of our people to work as we rebuild it.
She'll be within one percentage point of Trump in the end in overall votes (and it looks like she'll beat him actually). All of these commentators seem to be making broad generalizations about the state of politics and how the strategy is obviously going to fail but the reality is that if the election was very slightly different in ways that neither campaign could really control it would've gone the other way. Maybe I'm wrong but all this just reminds me of all of the BS narratives that ESPN concocts to fill air time after football games.
I'd mostly agree with you on this point and it's divergent from the one that the Trumpistas care about.

That said, I have seen companies that were "H-1B dependent", ie, they have paid the fees for visas to hire from outside the country, because they were able to get lower salaries from doing so even after paying the legal fees. Clearly not the Googles of the world, but they do exist.
>. No one makes the connection between the lower costs for things and globalization.

I think they do. I'm pretty sure most people know all the implications MADE IN CHINA carry.

They see they are getting 1 unit of benefit for 2 units of hindrance.
Sure people do make the connection. But no amount of lower costs across the board will help a newly unemployed person. For that person, the costs and benefits just don't match up.

Structural unemployment is an inevitable result of globalization, we need ways to mitigate this. Trade from the POV of rich countries is often a redistribution from the poor (uncompetitive labor) to the wealthy (multinational corporations), justified by the "gains from trade". We must be willing to aggressively redistribute these resulting gains back to the disenfranchised or see populist backlash.
This! As an example, she had her staff draft a tweet, and it goes through a chain of 12 people to approve before it goes live, I am not sure she knew how to connect with real people.
Seed gifting is allowed but seed sale is illegal. The way it's happening, hydroponic supply stores are giving away seeds as the direct profit motive is there for them.

I suspect this is mostly artificial and the EHCI emulation is still there but just fused off to encourage people to upgrade.
I don't think you're wrong. But this is the same situation that "millennials" have been facing. They have no cash to move from their family home to chase opportunity. I'm sure many would love to keep their standard of living as-is and have a good job, but most accept smaller and more expensive housing with problems like traffic, crime, pollution in urban areas in return for employment.

The big difference I see is most millennials want to move to a big city and work hard at creating a new and better future.
How would you know that? There's nothing cynical about that! As an Australian we hold the U.S. up as a model of civility. You've got no idea how uncivil our parliament is. Let me give you an example of one of our former Prime Ministers in parliament time:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lEsN4-XLE2k

Another Prime Minister said an opposition MP should "beaten with a blow torch".

So don't tell me when I'm being sincere or not. I have watched Bush, Obama, Clinton, old clips of Reagan and Carter and they might have had unsavoury policies, but they made sure they gave dignity to the Presidency. And sure, they often tussled and sometimes they forgot themselves, or skirted the edges of what is considered acceptable for that role, but they largely remained civil and showed some level of courtesy and respect for the populace and their opponents.

So I fully stand behind my comment. Whether you want to impune my motives or my sincerity, oh you who I've never met or spoken to or interacted with in any other way, well you feel free to do so but I know what I said was right, and something I think we should all try to aspire to.
How can a site like this require that much clientside javascript?
Maybe. I can accept that I am taking the OP too literally when they say that Berns has been saying

What makes you smug was your comment that I'm a racist, knowing only that I "vaguely support trump" without knowing why.

The article is a good read, you might learn something. Heaven forbid.
I'm not surprised by these numbers. I believe they targeted their market pretty well and hit that 90% of customers who would usually buy a MacBook or a MacBook Air and now pay a premium for the Pro.

Only maybe 50% of actual professionals were left without a proper option which may account for maybe 5% of their sales or even less.

I will be fine, they aren't trying to take my rights away, but many people won't be fine. Gay people, transgender people, muslims, black people, women, poor people, etc. will all experience serious negative consequences of a Republican controlled government.

And let's not forget that the most important issue of all, climate change, has been denied to even exist by Trump.
the hillary circlejerk here is humongous
The next four years is going to be very confusing for you if you can't ask yourself objective questions about your opposition and resist the reflex to paint them as a cartoon villain.

For someone who hasn't worked with a statically typed language yet, perhaps. But someone who knows and works with Haskell would disagree here.
Not to specifically defend the people you mentioned, but democracy really is twisted that way.

People associate "democracy" with "fairness". With "representation". They associate it with "everybody's voice is heard". When 40+% of the people vote for something, and that something doesn't come through, that's 40+% of the voices being ignored. Don't disregard those simply because they didn't break the 51% barrier.

We can also agree that Trump played the entire electorate. He strategically chose to run as republican, he played the media like puppets to have a free platform to shout from, etc. Those things don't feel fair.

In fact, the entire election really seemed to be a pissing context at times. People also associate democracy with "elevated discourse" and I don't think anyone can claim this happened.

And of course, the US democratic system is really poor compared to other countries (France has one of the best, by comparison: two round voting and none of that electoral college nonsense). But that's another topic.
I am still not sure what are Donald Trumps foreign policy positions are .

1) ON Syria/ISIS . All he as said is that he will hit them very very hard. okay going from that , does it mean a) he plans on putting 100K US troop on the ground and engage in an all-out war. b) or just put 100's of drones in the Air and just start bombing shit.

How does he plan on bringing on board our Allies like Jordan and Iraqi government on our side with this plan?

2) What is his plan regarding South China Sea. Does he plan on confronting the Chinese government . From what I have heard he wants to bring back troops from South Korea and Japan.

3) What are his plans for Ukraine civil war and Russian Aggression?

4) Finally, I am trying to imagine what would Trump do if he was the president during the Cuban missile crisis. Would he be able to enforce the blockade? Does he understand the the MAD doctrine ?

so many questions .
Do you know how rich the USA is in natural resources?
I'll bite. The majority of insults Trump hurled were targeted at individuals. Insulting someone even if race/sex/gender is included is not by itself racist, misogynistic or whatever. It is just hitting where you know it will hurt the most - which is good tactic IMO.

And he was careful never to insult big parts of the electorate - it was usually the left that generalized.

All of his big gaffes were either towards non citizens or specific citizens. He never had his basket of deplorables moment.

It was between him and Megyn Kelly, the latino judge, the khans.

And we get to the "grab them by the pussy" - and we end in the messy world of human courtship ... where we are all sexist and objectifying the objects of our desire. Both sexes included.

Of course the assaults are assaults ... and I won't defend them. Somehow they disappeared from the media in the last few days though.

Trump is a dirty fighter. But I think that the majority of his sexism, racism or wherever is mostly opportunistic strikes where he sees weakness.
> you can't tout keeping the same idea for years as an unqualified good thing

You're missing the point completely.

I'm not praising Sanders' stubbornness, I'm praising his foresight and vastly superior judgment. He knew what this country needed to do 20 years before Hillary, and he was willing to vehemently defend his opinions despite the overwhelming opposition. The fact that you're trying to turn this into some kind of debate about consistency vs. facts is frankly baffling. It's clear that he was right all along and she was late to the party on every issue that liberals and progressives care about.

And do you really believe she changed her opinion on those issues where she claimed to have "evolved"? I sure don't. We know she still wants TPP to pass, we know she still secretly supports DOMA, we know she had no interest in reigning in Wall Street, we know she (and Chelsea) were halfheartedly pretending to support medical marijuana, etc. etc.. The Hillary Clinton presented to the public was a fictional character designed for one purpose: To win the presidency.

It didn't work, and the reason is clear: We're not as ignorant or gullible as they'd hoped: https://wikileaks.org/podesta-emails/emailid/3599#efmARhAWn
> You've never been to the deep south, much the south, have you?

I have been to the south (maybe not the "deep south") but your general assumption that I don't have a great understanding of the people that reside there is accurate. I do understand that there actually are people who truly hate people of color. What I was really taking issue with is the label of bigotry being so readily applied to anyone who supports Trump. I just find it unfair.

Regarding your last point, I wasn't necessarily trying to say that the change and disruption would happen specifically within government or by way of the laws we might pass. I apologize if that wasn't entirely clear. The most obvious place, as I mentioned, where we might see some of this is within both of the major parties themselves and how they operate outside of government. The Democrats will start that process immediately as they were the biggest losers and the Republicans will put that on hold as they do have some control over government, but clearly their party isn't in great shape either.
> You can do what the democrats have talked about, which we have successfully done in Nordic countries which is to spend a lot of money on re-educating the workforce and making sure those at the bottom get decent skills.

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. And that's probably not gonna change.

Now, you could say, "well that's fine, we can give them moving stipends or something" but a lot of people are reluctant to leave what they've known as homes for so long. Such a strategy essentially puts these areas into hospice mode. That's an uncomfortable thought for probably most Americans.

And moving public sector jobs, while it might work, is probably politically untenable in America; the areas that are dying are the same ones that are generally hostile to government.
I'm 35 and I remember the Clinton years well. I'm curious what about my comment led you to believe that I would dismiss their well-documented "missteps" as "tinfoil hat conspiracy stuff." Sure, Bill Clinton was corrupt and a liar. He also happened to be the greatest politician that's ever run for President.

There's plenty of corruption beyond what you cited. Private speeches to Goldman Sachs which HRC refused to release. Debbie Wasserman Schultz' straight-up corruption during the democratic primaries and her subverted attempts to force HRC down democrats' throats. The alleged passing of debate questions to HRC's camp in advance. The list goes on and on. And yet, I firmly believe that those things in and of themselves have little to do with why she lost.

If you lived through the Bill Clinton years then you might remember that his favorability ratings were so high when he left office (after being impeached!) that it was widely believed he could have easily won a third term if he were allowed to run again.

The reality is that most voters don't care about the candidates private lives. Some voters actually held Clinton in higher regard after the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke. Voters are much more drawn to the candidate than the candidate's background or even the issues.

HRC has simply never been an effective politician. Sure, she won a senate race in New York on the heels of her husband's presidency, but beyond that she's had a problem connecting with constituents in both elections. This was exactly the reason she couldn't beat Obama in '08.
> So you're proposing

I'm not proposing anything. This is a casual conversation on a web forum, not drafting a party platform.

> a massive tax[1] increase

I'm definitely not proposing anything massive.

> on urban workers who live with urban compromises (traffic, high prices, crime, etc) to be near work so that other workers in the suburbs can enjoy big lawns and beautiful single-family homes?

I live in the suburbs and I have to deal with all of those things. Remember: my exact gripe is I have to commute into the city to be employed. While I'm there, I'm subjected to the same traffic, high prices, crime, etc. as all other city dwellers are. And I get even more traffic coming and going.

And I don't see anything wrong with people who want to own a lawn or a single-family home being able to own one.

> Well, that's been our strategy with these red state rust belts for decades

No it hasn't.

You know what? Nevermind. I don't want to get into any more political discussion right now. Just relax a bit. It's just a casual conversation on a web form, I don't run the RNC or anything and I wasn't drafting a law and I don't need to be yelled at for how wrong I am.
I speak from anecdote here from my time traveling around middle America, not from an armchair, but I agree that the statement was probably a little too broad.

> As long as there is any promise of them being able to keep doing what they have experience in, that's what they'll aim for.

That's the real education that needs to happen. That job is gone and they're not going to get there. It's gone because the world has changed, the economy has changed. Holding out hope is holding that person back. I had to learn this early in my life, and now I live in two different countries depending on where I'm finding work.
This is the central argument from the article you posted:

"I am a woman and my experiences have been that this is a serious handicap for getting effective constructive feedback. Men don't really want to have a serious conversation with me about what works, what doesn't, why that is true, etc. If they talk to me at all, many of them are either 1) trying to be charming, even if they have no explicit goal of trying to sleep with me or 2) trying to be encouraging, as if the deeply rooted problems of sexism boil down to "girls just lack confidence!"

What do you call this?
I think it's more, "democracy is broken in America", and the victors are in a position to hasten its demise.
