> 1. money given to her charity

So? It's not like she's taking it out to buy herself houses and cars? At most, I think you could make a case that she's used the profile of the charity to boost her political career. If that's the case, and the charity gets income that it spends on worthy causes and she gets clout, well that's not the best outcome, but it's sure far from the worst.

> 2. charity or "charity"? - valid question, given large percentage of its income is spent on overhead

I'm fairly sure this has been thoroughly debunked. The amount of income to that charity that goes to overhead is average by all accounts I've seen that are reputable[1]. I've looked, because this has come up before. If you have a source that says otherwise that is not some random blog that references some other random blog[2], I would be happy to read it.

2: I'm way too tired of debunking what people consider a valid source once they've decided that all the mainstream media is biased and untrustworthy. It's hard to tell whether in some cases the errors are due to incompetence, negligence or with purpose. Undoubtedly a useful feature to some.
To everyone surprised by the news, just remember: you are not Apple's target audience anymore. The developers did an amazing job of advertising the Macbook to the general public and making it seem like the cool, sexy thing that professionals use, but it's no longer just for professionals. When I went to college, I saw kids who used Macbook Pros to do nothing more than take notes, send emails, and browse facebook. I go to coffee shops and see seniors with MBA's, browsing the news.

The widespread developer backlash against the new MBP is a trivial percentage compared to the average Joe's who are going out and continuing to buy Macbooks. Apple doesn't have to listen to what the developers want--they don't need your business anymore.
While Trump says he will introduce a temporary ban Muslims from problematic places, I don't think I heard him speak against LGBTQ issues --if anything this is one of the things which made "conservative" republicans nervous about him --that in that regard he's pretty open minded (You'd imagine if he had Thiel speak at his convention, that kind of tips his hand). Also saying he didn't care what restroom Caitlin Jenner chose to use at his properties.

It's still possible to release the thick "real MBP" with the old ports, big battery and up to 32/64 GB RAM.
If you are trading futures, you'll pay premium (though you can play the market sometimes and earn premium if you open/close early). However, for a long term position, and assuming efficient market the premium loss will be equal to the interest rate.

A large difference will mean a SWAP arbitrage opportunity.

So no, there is no loan shark. You are getting a privilege (margin liquidity) and it has some real risks (default on the base loan, and the loan shark kissing his money good bye)
Both Wisconsin and Michigan went for Sanders in the primary, both very unexpectedly, and then went heavily towards Trump in the general. Sanders would've easily won.
I respect your opinion. However, expressing yourself in such a backhanded way tends to raise the emotional temperature, especially online. It's better to make your points directly and not to work in a political needle through the back door as it were.
I'll be shocked if marriage equality survives his SCOTUS picks.
That only counts positives, so it's biased towards whoever is most famous, even if they're controversial. Take a look at this instead: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/clinton_favora...
> Ukraine literally means 'border'...

So, Russians are not aware of Slavic languages, where 'Kraina' (as in Ukraina) means country?
Then people should've been outraged when the DNC put the fix in on Sanders.
Yep, and the Republicans did it 3 more times before that. And then there's Jackson/Van Buren three terms Dem which immediately follows the first big run of Thomas Jefferson and co running 7 terms as the Democratic-Republican party.

So really, it's just uncommon in the last sixty-odd years.
"I wonder if this will have any effect on employer urine testing for the drug in California."

Nope. Independent contractors such as myself are generally free of such things unless it's for a gov't position, most larger companies will still test if they do any business outside of the state, and big companies solely inside the state will likely keep up the testing anyways. Mom and pop? They're probably smoking with the employees.
Uh, I think you're being very dismissive here. There are many rational reasons for urban business.

Being able to get rental real estate for your business. In the suburbs you now need a loan, credit, collateral, 30% down, etc to build your own building as there generally isn't a rash of empty floors on skyscrapers like cities do.

Being able to have face to face meetings frequently with your investors, board members, and bankers and other people who hold your pursestrings.

Being able to find investors in the first place. Picture two similar business plans. One by a group in the far out suburbs and one nearby. As an investor, which one would you lean towards, especially if you expect yourself to do any hands on work or attend board meetings?

Being able to get to the airport and mass transportation hubs quickly.

Being able to wine and dine investors and customers in places that will impress them.

Being able to court youngsters and urban professionals who want a city life and won't even interview in the suburbs. (Hi! This is me and almost everyone I know.)

Being near urban universities for the above reasons and job fairs.

Being near your competitors to help you poach their staff.

Being able to work with a local government that understands business needs and not being subjected to a 'board of elders' of out of touch 70 year old suburban retirees who will bikeshed the shit out of any proposal of yours and NIMBY you to death.

Being able to quickly expand by taking more office space instead of, you guessed it, building another fucking building.

Being able to order 1gb fiber and have in here in 30 days as opposed to 360 days in the suburbs and that's on top of paying tens of thousands of dollars for that last mile to your office, which they will need to dig up just for you.

...and yes, maybe some perks of city life as you mention. Work life should have pleasant parts and it helps attract talent.
We did have a real problem long before this election. Now it has finally come to a head.
> The education gap between rich and poor (and white and minority) is getting larger because of hoodlum-fearing mothers who support segregated neighborhoods and schools.

I see this brought up a lot, as if those mothers are pearl clutching villains. Are you of the impression that hoodlums don't exist, or that they're not more common in poor communities? Or do you just take exception with people wanting what is best for their own children, at the expense of others? What argument would you make to those mothers that would convince them it is in their, or their children's, best interest to not seclude themselves away from poorer populations?

Just to make it a bit clearer, this smacks of the exact same kind of thinking that was just dealt a blow in the election. Selfishness is human nature, and shaming people over it might make them quiet, but it won't make them agree with you.

I'm far from a Trump supporter, but this kind of constant holier-than-thou thinking has to end or there will never be any semblance of unity in this country.
> Trump lost the popular vote by a significant margin

I'm not sure the facts support that statement. As of this comment:

Trump: 59,341,446
Clinton: 59,578,989

That's a difference of just 237,543 votes, out of about 125 million votes. Or, less than 1/5th of a percent difference.
Being an IDR frame a special I-frame, yes, the IDR is the GOP start.

You assume the pie is static and that more mouths mean less pie for all.

If there were twice the plumbers, the rate per hour would not be halved. There's demand that can't afford these services at the current rate.
Depends. I also work with scala.
Yet somehow I don't need monads, functors, applicatives, etc on the frontend. TS with the right strictness flag enabled, is a good, practical middle ground for now even though I hope a good compile-to-js/assembly will be useable soon (I still have yet to try bucklescript/reason for real)
For the people that you refer to, Clinton was a benchmark: "we finally have a female president." As for the rest of us, it was a matter of how far down the rabbit hole we were: "can someone get voted in purely because they are female?" America could use a female president, oh hell yes, but only the correct female president. Someone who correctly demonstrates how we need women in leadership. Clinton is nothing of the kind. The fastest quick-draw on corruption and lies in the whole of Wall Street. She would have done decades worth of damage to feminism.

I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I worry for my gay brother who lives there, I sympathize with the honest Mexicans who genuinely try to contribute and I worry about my future in America as I immigrate early next year (family, you know). On the other, I'm a moderate and the left needs reigning in. They need to learn how to make friends and not enemies. The left has been an absolute shitshow for the past couple of years and some negative feedback is well overdue.
I thought we would get an infrastructure boom from Obama during the Great Recession. We went through 2 huge rounds of spending that mostly went to "shovel ready" projects. From my understanding, today's construction budgets are tied up in capital costs like heavy machinery and materials. There isn't much need for labor anymore with automation and specialized equipment.

There is also the issue of planning out infrastructure improvements. With environmental reviews that can take decades and lawsuits that occur after that, it is extremely difficult to pull the same type of "New Deal" programs that happened during the 1930s.

My guess is for all the spending, very few people would end up employed. Is the goal employment at any cost, or providing people without jobs welfare?
We have had real problems, and continue to have them. It's not implausible at all, given the US's (recent!) history, to suggest that 50+% of Americans are racist or sexist. In some ways, it would be more surprising if the number was less than 50%.
Hell, most of these kinds of policies were enacted on the outset of WWII, not exactly a time of greatness and plenty. For an other example, the UK enacted the NHS just a few years after the war ended.
The reason you don't respect her is not from her doing or the doing of the DNC. It is because there has been a plurality of the political community that has been working for literal decades to destroy her reputation. If you repeat a lie loud enough and long enough it becomes true. In reality she is in the normal range of candidate. I grant you she is closer to the bad side than the good (at least in most people's mind), but she is no more corrupt or politically calculating than your average member of Congress.
Didn't he die in his 3rd term? Truman was re-elected on his own in 1948.
> "RIP Democracy"

Maybe they don't think Trump is going to leave office in eight years.
Adding any kind of discrimination to an election process (which is a right and has to be open to all) is not a good idea, since it opens the way to all sort of abuse (see the comment on literacy tests), in the way it is evaluated. I don't see a way for such a test to exist, without any bias that could create discrimination.

And even if people are informed, it does not mean they would chose according to that knowledge, since I think a lot of people vote not according to their brain, but follow their emotions or the expectations of their social group.
The Nordic model we know today was developed and implemented in the 1970s.

Obviously this kind of transformation takes time, and I have heard from Finnish friends that the education system quality is falling (it used to be within top-3 in the world for test scores, now they're only top-10).

I'm sure when people thought of the model in the '70s, there were many people saying it would never work for a country of 5 million people, but 40 years later it still mostly works.

> 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.

Are you saying the cost is too high, or it is simply infeasible to improve the lives of this many people?

For the improvement of quality of life, see India's current efforts. Which I would argue are even more ambitious (e.g. bring water and electricity to nearly half a billion people) and, while not perfect, are going about as well as anticipated.

For the financial argument, well there's a reason why everything in the Nordic countries is very expensive and people complain about the high taxes.
Spot on. Regardless of who sits in the White House, the world will spin on. We will do exactly today, what we did yesterday.

I bet heavily on a Trump victory so, no, I don't think I'm out of touch.

Without the Medicaid expansion, they likely won't be able to afford any private insurance as well. The ultimate outcome is going to be uninsured people flooding the ER, who by law has to stabilize them. But maintenance drugs will be out of reach of many.
It's pretty interesting that Sam Altman wanted to stop Trump but YCombinator's Reddit was so instrumental in his victory, despite the opposition of it's employees. Facebook and Twitter helped Trump, too, despite Trump probably have sub-10% support among Facebook and Twitter employees. Google's SEME didn't seem to help as much as I thought it would. This will become more and more debated FAST now that Germany is beginning legal action against Facebook for helping promote political speech that Merkel and her allies have tried to keep from flaring up.
I don't know either.

1. I think degruglation in a lot of industries might help this demographic. I think his administration will make doing things in this society easier. My hope is his administration makes building that house easier. (I hope he come down hard on these little town/counties--that make doing anything complicated/expensive.). My hope is his administration will lift restrictions on the little guy. A lot of hope.

2. That's it, "I don't know either".

I do know the current status quo was unacceptable for a lot of "disenfranchised blue collar" workers. I'd be careful with the "blue collar" label. The typical IT guy is a blue collar worker. Most people in tech are just a body. It's a profession that doesn't have a huge barrier to entry; just like a lot of blue collar workers. It becomes so true once you hit 35. "On to the next self-taught young, hungry person." The eletism in this current, oh so changing industry, is hard to take some days. Every one of you should be saving money. The party doesn't last long. I'll get heat for this; I know too many former Programmers that are literally homeless.

3. My hope is if things don't get better, it's only four years. My hope is the senate, and house become democratic. We then vote for someone like, a less liberal Bernie Sanders.
(This is my biggest hope.)

4. I'm leary much will change because money will still control politics. Keep up the heat Wikileaks.

5. So--we will see.
But how are we going to run all these virtual machines?!
Yet, we all know what happens to companies who lose their developers. It just takes a few years to materialize.
I think there is probably some truth to the antifragile theory, but we should remember that the system is made up of individual people and their choices to act within that system. Too many rogue players and there is no system.
The biggest tragedy in all this is that technological advance harms those it help the most by eliminating unnecessary work. For humankind it is progress, for individual humans it is ruin.
>How else can a bunch of very different people work together and be productive together without some level of decorum and safety? So, we get rid of 'political correctness' (i.e. respectfulness), and what then?

Live and let live.

(Which is exactly what "safe spaces" and "check your privilege" and the political correctness under threat of ostracism _isn't_.)
The Iran deal is huge. True it's early to tell how well it will work, but still it's there.

Then there's Cuba. Not a big deal in global terms, but a watershed in America's history. Although the payoffs for these mainly accrue to Kerry, it was Hilary who made them happen.
The payoffs to education are huge [0]. People need to be prepared for the new economy which requires college degrees and has fewer low-skill jobs.

The left laid the groundwork for Trump's victory (assuming Blue color Whites are really the cause, I think it's not the only factor myself) by promoting the idea that the new economy is unfair. Of course they mainly meant unfair to blacks and hispanics but whites got the message anyway.

If we want to help people thrive in capitalism, we need to avoid leftist narratives that are wrong, i.e. the narrative that education won't improve one's situation because capitalism always screws the little guy.

I am sorry but:

1. Other people doing something wrong is no justification at all, even though it's a human bias.

2. Other shameless plug was about a comment network for the front-end and back-end which includes HN, so it was not really shameless but an interesting and highly related project.

This is just a random ad from something related to HN but has no kind of relationship with the original post... so please don't SPAM on HN.
Very proud of this product. The target is not the US domestic market, but developing areas that have no resources for electronic health records. I have seen this being implemented places where the traditional software would be cost prohibitive.
Good for humanity. Please contribute patches!
The same he always does: Blaming things on others. This is what worries me the most: Trump won't get anything done but blame it, yet again, on some minority. And, yet again, chances are people will believe him.
Yes, they pay well, but it's HARD to find a GOOD place to live.
How Bots Won Trump His Presidency
This is all right on, but I would add one important point. Which is that some people cannot be retrained. It's the rare fifty year old who can adapt to a whole new field, learn all the theory and practice all the application, and then successfully compete against people half his age to land those entry-level jobs.

If our economic system puts people in such a position through no fault of their own and they cannot escape it despite their best efforts, they need to be taken care of, for life if need be.
Political Polarization in the American Public (2014)
After further reflection on his election night cabinet announcements, I'll add #4: he nominates "the best people," i.e. individuals selected on the basis of their public notoriety or prior fealty to his organization rather than their expertise or political leanings. This causes a delegation within the agencies to lower-level administrators and career personnel and some blend of the outcomes in scenario 1 and 2.

The response to this trend has always been the continued niche usage of Linux OS outside of server environments. Based on the quality of software applications, Professionals really have only two alternatives: Windows and Mac. I've always went with Windows because I don't engage as heavily in the creative process (music, video, design, etc.) that would benefit from a Mac. At worst for Apple, Professionals return to Windows laptops (Dell, HP, Lenovo, Microsoft, etc.) - that's a loss of 5%, maybe?

I can't bring myself to buy Lenovo after all their shenanigans.

I've been looking to upgrade to MBP sometime in the next year, but with these prices, I'm now looking at the XPS 15 instead.
I'm not actually clear how this laptop is supposed to be worse for developers. It's not like most of us are EEs; we hardly ever need any sort of weird ports or anything. In fact, about half my work is EE and I'm doing fine with a 12" MacBook. The only thing we've lost is the physical escape and function keys, and that's not exactly a show-stopper. Possibly a mild inconvenience.

I'll probably buy a MacBook or MacBook Pro for my next laptop, unless something obviously better (including quality and support lifetime) is on the market, which right now it doesn't appear to be.
Repeal and replace. I'm sure Trump's solution will not leave you in the cold. It would be wreckless to repeal without ensuring people like you keep your insurance.
I realise it's probably too late to correct facts, and it doesn't seem to matter much anyway, but a large percentage of the charity donations did not go on overhead. They operation was very highly rated by charity watchdogs.

The soundbite you often hear is about X% spent on salaries and only Y% donated to charity. Which is true, but misleading because the Foundation actually pays people to administer medicine. It's not the type of charity that just hands the money to other groups.

Sometimes English is enough to get through a workplace at times - a lot of tech jobs have English speaking workplaces, for example. Outside of some industries, however, learning the language is nearly required. Socially, however, you'll likely find you'll want to learn the local language.

English does get you pretty far, however, and a lot of folks speak English to varying degrees.
My knee-jerk is that it's an East Coast thing. I've never been drug tested, and I've worked for companies of all sizes and types, nor have I ever heard of anybody getting drug tested in the Seattle area.
So pretty much nobody cared about the ddr4/32gb ram and some ports missing. What a shocker.

"Equal rights for people regardless of race, creed or gender identity" is not a Bernie exclusive. You do not win elections by being right (if you need proof, look at current events). Sometimes, being too absolutely right, and not in sync with the times, makes you lose elections to someone who is very wrong. That is what I mean by saying that you cannot be consistently right for 24 years: the timing of your message also has to be right.
"51% of the country"

Clinton won the popular vote.
Because words are supposed to have their specific, well-understood meaning. By your logic, a guy with one arm and one leg is privileged too; there are certainly people out there that have it much worse than him.

My (laymen's) understanding of the word 'privilege' was always more along the line of "Mozart was his piano teacher". But it looks like at some point the word was redefined to some incredibly technical meaning whereby a broke--but white, and male--coal miner is also privileged.
