The "world order" will look very different by the time Trump leaves office. He wants to cede more of the Middle East to Russia, reduce our participation and leadership in NATO, reduce our military presence in South Korea and Japan, and cancel or renegotiate trade deals, including the TPP.

The result will be a world that is more clearly apportioned among 3-4 major powers. Small Asian countries, if they can't get a feeling of solid support from the U.S., will eventually ally themselves with China. And the EU and Russia will battle (hopefully not openly) over the lands between and near them.

It's essentially the end of "pax Americana". I think it's incredibly short-sighted. Trump looks at international relations as a quarterly balance sheet but almost certainly does not properly account for the value of the stability the U.S. provides throughout the world now.
in the post-war decades, manufacturing provided a huge number of well paying jobs for people without college degrees. relegating those people to part time retail and uber precariat is bad for everyone.
TPP is designed to form a high-standards trade bloc against Chinese influence. That is its entire purpose.
I thought we'd be safe at least until January.
Then someone with a background in Economics should understand the benefits do not accrue evenly. When developed nations trade with developing nations, the middle class of the developed nation loses.

This is partly why the neoliberal playbook the democrats having been running backfired. Sure, open up trade, but ensure that the wealthy people and large corporations don't accrue all of the benefit.

This can be done in a number of ways but none of them were even attempted, it was just good for business == good for america, period.

2. What kept you motivated to finish the project?

3. What tools, architecture did you use?

4. Finaly, post a link to you project again here.

Thank you!
I'm kinda disappointed I don't see this working for my profile or any of my friends. I wanted a screenshot or 20 :(
This is exactly how I have been feeling for the past few days, but I've been struggling to put it all into words, so thank you for sharing this.

The way that Trump is able to treat basic facts with such contempt and yet still get millions of people to trust him such an important office is deeply disturbing to me. I can't shake the feeling that at some point over the next four years, there is going to be a moment where reality (as it always does) finally catches up, and we're all going to be in a world of hurt. Democrat, Republican, and probably a good chunk of the rest of the world as well.
As someone from a third world country that was entertaining a similar trade deal with the US, I certainly wanted to take no part on the humongous shit show that is the US patent system, which was part of the deal.

Building houses is relatively cheap. The housing stock on top of the land isn't what's so expensive in cities. It's the land underneath.

The cost of the housing stock is of minor importance in these arguments, and nobody suggest tearing down existing houses just for the sake of efficiency. That wouldn't make any sense.

(A house build and paid for once can stand for hundred years or more, but only with a constant expense on maintenance in either money or sweat.)

What we want is denser urban cores. That way there will be less sprawl, and even the country pumpkins would have shorter commutes, because the countryside could start so much closer to the city centres: given the same or even larger number of people in them cities, they would take up less space.
All these trade deals have onerous (read: harsher) copyright and intellectual property terms.
It'd also automatically damp the effects of voting rings.
You mean the same election where the majority of people voted for the pro-globalism candidate?
Jobs that are never coming back.

Renewables and natural gas will decimate coal in the coming years. And low end product manufacturing won't be able to compete with the cheaper labour and supply chain superiority of other countries.

US manufacturing if it survives at all will be high end, highly skilled work. And the US is woeful when it comes to investing in technical training.
Great relaxing gfx-nerd chaser for a terrible week.
I'll get down voted but it doesn't really matter. The sentiment changed because of identity politics. As soon as Trump mentioned he was against the tpp places like hn and reddit suddenly became very quiet in their opposition to it.

Hiker Runs into Hillary Clinton on New York Trail
Gosh, you have a horrible attitude.

Outsourcing works best when you treat the people you're working with like people. Expecting them to regularly call into 3AM meetings is a recipe for disaster.

What I find works well is:

1: Find some common overlap times

2: Defend the overlap times against bullshit meetings

3: Take turns meeting at odd hours
> Globalism is good for people overall

Who is it good for and how?
If you are assuming Clinton and Trump are proxies for and against globalization respectively, more people (aka popular vote) actually voted for continuing globalization.
Yes. You are right.

I try to write better, actually, I do not have good posts to share here, they were not popular never

Didn't Google openly support TPP? Seems to me that Google's was one of the biggest losers on Nov 8. Eric Schmidt openly supported Hillary, there were accusations of SERP manipulation, YT censorship and so on. I wonder if FTC [0] will finally be able to go after them for anti-trust since Google's lobbyists won't be able to stop them [1].

Quite sad, especially when read in the light of "Why are there NIMBYs?" (https://www.dartmouth.edu/~wfischel/Papers/00-04.PDF)

In essence, the paper argues that highly-leveraged homeownership causes NIMBYs.
There are many points on the spectrum between fully public and fully private, including compartmentalization. TPP took an extreme position, blocking even members of Congress from taking notes. At a minimum, elected representatives of citizens need access to draft documents, and the ability to include trade policy experts on their staff.

Oversimplifying things like this bugs me too. There are some non-easy choices to make. e.g. do you encrypt your backups? if you encrypt every copy of everything you have and you lose your passphrases, it's gone. This may be obvious to the cypherpunks in the audience, but to the average user out there, they're not necessarily so prepared to deal with that.
Well there is probably a silent majority who are not actually racist, but would be called racist if they said anything.

And this will result in the right coming to power in France and Germany. And people will wonder why!
I agree with everything you've written here except for the one italicized sentence. I think we fundamentally agree on Trump's character, and are basically having a discussion about semantics at this point. However, I do feel it can be a useful discussion. The people who write the N word and "Trump" all over someone's car are clearly racist. The people who say, "We don't want those people in our town. It's not a race thing, it's just that they're using up all the resources, and ruining the culture, and when I drive by the playground now, there aren't even any white kids there anymore," are probably racist, but legitimately don't believe they are. Trump may well be racist, but mostly he's opportunistic and self-centered, and in my opinion that's what his comment about the judge showed.

The problem is, calling that comment racist cheapens the condemnation of the writing-on-car guy. It also causes the second group to write you off as out of touch, ensuring they won't listen to anything else you say on the matter. Even calling that second group racist, while true, is most likely counter-productive. Most people with racist (or sexist, or homophobic..) beliefs honestly believe they don't have "any problem with those people", so labeling them in that way again just shuts down the dialog, and if anything hardens their views. And what ultimately matters is that people treat each other decently, so we need to choose both actions and language that are most likely to encourage that.
Has the attitude here changed? Nixing TPP is probably one of the few things I agree with Trump on, albeit for different reasons.

And if Hillary Clinton won, voting is suddenly a good selection strategy? Ha. Hypocritical Democrats.

Showing off real estate is probably going to be big... and once it's good, it'll become the standard for telepresence. Honestly, a few things need to happen, but when they do, the sky is the limit.
You know, it would make a really interesting study to follow up on theories (in the scientific sense) like this. The HN data is available, isn't it?
Globalism is nothing more than the rich elite gaining control over more peasants. Sure, it's good for some of us.
0. There is a plethora of documentation. Even the CLI suggests the lifecycle (start, stop, restart, pause, unpause).

1. This is simply not true. Your understanding is that they are based on being ephemeral, but this is not inherent in any sort of design of containers.

2. Magic is not really magic when you understand what's happening. Cgroups apply resource limits on a process, namespaces limit what a process can see. These come together to make containers. The host still has full visibility on these processes just like any other process on the system.

3. Do you have data to back this up? A container is just a process that is namespaced and resource limited. If you are writing to the copy-on-write filesystem provided for the container with a database, then you are doing it wrong (in 99% of cases). For that matter, you can even use ZFS for the container FS, which has been in use in production scenarios for quite some time... performance may not be great with ZFS here but integrity will be (not that I'm advocating for writing directly to the container FS... not at all, really).

There is nothing about Docker and statelessness. It can sure make cleaning up after a process a bit simpler but this doesn't mean that docker equates to statelessness.

Storage is hard whether you are in a container or not. Process isolation does not affect this.

Don't make multinational all-encompasing trade deals. If you want freer trade, the best way to do it is to make small agreements on a country-by-country basis to tear down some protectionist policies each party has against the other.

This allows you to pick and choose the deals the population wants.
It's not either/or. It's both/and.

Yes, Trump has done a lot that should disqualify him. (You didn't even mention what to me is about the biggest ones: Threatened revenge on those who spoke against him.)

And yes, the article has a very valid point about the media - it really does live in its own bubble, not understanding most of the country.
To get Cover Stories to be useful, it was necessary to downvote many of the initial selections, unfollow some tags, follow other tags, then upvote the few stories that were interesting. It gradually got better. But yes, there were many stories of poor relevance or quality. One problem is that the UI takes more clicks than Zite to rate stories and select tags.
One problem is that economic theories are all based on dozens of underlying assumptions, many of which are baseless and false. Further, these flawed economic theories used incredibly flawed metrics (like GDP) to measure growth. They ignore real costs, like the massive environmental destruction caused by transporting items around the world. An accurate formula would attribute a tangible, financial value to the finite resources of the earth (the environment) upon which we all depend on to survive, and calculate those costs when determining whether or not "free trade" in the aggregate was actually beneficial. This doesn't even address the massive costs incurred by wars and policing needed to maintain safe and stable transit routes around the world, or the secondary and tertiary costs associated with these activities.

I'm with you. Feedly still does a decent job of letting me track the feeds I know want to track. Though I definitely don't check it as much as I used to.
It's not like republicans were going to allow tax increases or redistributive policies to happen, so inevitably we ended up here.
So on the one hand we have the privacy oriented people in the West saying "Don't use Facebook, Google, Twitter, because they're tracking you, eroding your privacy, and have a mains-pressure tap running off to the NSA".

And on the other hand we are criticising China for blocking these same services.

This leads in to other avenues of discussion about protectionist economic policy Chinese internet services must store their data in China, vs. a general displeasure in foreign ownership of residential property in the West, and I feel under-qualified to write about, and too under-educated to express in a coherent fashion.
> free trade

Who said TPP had anything to do with free trade?

Various powerful interest groups lobby and shove economic capture for themselves into these deals, transferring power over these matters from American voters to some international group looking over their interest.

The TPP is chock full of economic capture goodies which have nothing to do with free trade.
Oh, wow, this is solving a physical cube.
Given that the vote was basically 50-50, and that most of the votes are cast outside the swing states that got the attention, then no, the 'mandate' result would not have been different from 25%. Different tactics wouldn't shift that general number much.
And they (your Facebook peers) don't seem to understand that they are helping to cause the collapse of civilization, by exactly their refusal to listen to or engage with the other side.

Voting is only as good a selection strategy as the options which are available /s
Maybe the point is that an economic strategy that chases marginal cost savings only creates short term benefits for investors while selling out an industrious workforce that were otherwise poised to create the next big innovation.
Someone loose their job because there's a change in global economic structures. Another group of people lose their business of selling ice for house hold refrigeration.

The problem is not globalisation or change, its the idea and related political deception that somehow if there are protectionist barriers the emergence of new suppliers, products, new skills, new ideas will go away.

This is but one of several of similar distorted perceptions of reality that underpins the faulted democratic systems. If Society and government should facilitate something it's increased adaptability and acceptance for change, rather than selling the fraud that they can take it away.

The value of stability to who? Other nations? America has ample military resources for defending its own shores, and I fail to see how we'll be negatively impacted by exiting the Middle East (aside from wailing from the pro-Israel lobbies).

Trump knows exactly what he's doing, and it is completely in line with his "America First" slogan. It's about focusing on improving our own citizens' lives before pouring trillions into wars, offshore military bases, NATO defense payments and UN programs in the name of globalization.
Yes, this non-linear idea seems very interesting. I have read several discussions on various boards with much hand-wringing about the best way of sorting comments - by time, by votes, by user rep, by some sort of weighted average of the above? Suddenly things get rather complicated as people try to decide how the weights should be balanced. But this idea of showing multiple different feeds side-by-side is very refreshing. Two (or even three?) feeds with different weightings and (and relative sizes!) could provide a better balance than what we are used to.

(As an aside, it would be entertaining to take it to an extreme - seeing the top voted comments also shows you the bottom voted, most controversial also shows least, etc. A sort of anti-echo-chamber measure.)
It's also very difficult when half of your friends aren't in the smartphone ecosystem.

Savvy, modern marketing job.
I'm ambivalent about free trade in general, and I tend to agree with the issues people have with TPP in particular, but I did want to address this sentiment:

> Globalisation is happening regardless of whether people want it or not.

Why? Globalization is a product of human behavior and human choices. Neither sunspots, cosmic rays, hurricanes, or earthquakes make globalization happen. It seems absurd, to me, to pretend that globalization is this Force beyond our control, that we just have to adapt or die.

That isn't so. Globalization has gone on in the world because we, including and especially the United States of America, made it happen. The governing and business elite has chosen time and again to pursue globalization policies because it seemed like the right thing to do economically and often because it benefited them.

We can choose to enact different policies and go in a different direction any time we want, and even pro-free trade economists like Krugman concede that the consequences will not be particularly dire (see his Brexit commentary.)
You sure continuing our mostly cold civil war isn't an option in the middle? What would spark the bloody and violent civil war?

Seriously, me and mine are prepared for one and continuously upping our preparations (note, those hold as well for many/most disasters), but we don't see specifics on the horizon, didn't even WRT to Hillary labeling us as irredeemable. What would be the Fort Sumter? Which, I'll note, happened over 3 months after the state succeeded.

Since I don't see any prospects for "try[ing] to bring things back together somewhere in the middle" after what my side perceives as an unrelenting and pretty much ever increasing assault from the Left for over a century (the Progressives, not to mention our latest reaction of God-Emperor Ascendant, excuse me, President Elect Trump (!!)), I'm really hoping for some sort of middle option.
I don't disagree, but that does not change the fact that we will never bring manufacturing back in that way.
I am wondering if I should start arguing for a voluntary fund to be distributed to open source projects that runs on sandbox.

Yes, e.g. Vietnam has established bi-lateral trade agreements with several of the TPP participants.
The victims are literally left behind by the forward march of progress.

Previously, the rate of change was much less, so it was easy to speak about retraining, going back to school, etc.

But nowadays things are moving fast, and accelerating. It's going to get more and more difficult to provide a soft landing for those who are falling off the back of the ascending, accelerating rocket. It's only going to get worse. And the irony is, it's happening because of something that's considered good overall - progress.

We need some radical changes in how we think of... uh... everything I guess. Jobs. Social security. A man's worth. You name it, it's in there.
I suspect we actually know very little about Trump's intentions. I believe that, like Clinton, he was willing to say just about anything to get into office, regardless of what he truly intends.
> the ability to not deal with race and gender every day of their lives?

Sometimes, a thought percolates up from my poor rural white-boy hind-brain, that maybe instead of absorbing themselves in thinking and protesting and teeth-gnashing about these issues, they might be happier if they focused on themselves and things they can do to improve their own lot in life. If you constantly pick at a scab, it takes forever to heal.

Michael Geist has some excellent coverage [1] of TPP, albeit from a Canadian perspective.

Biggest problem with TPP in my mind is that it codifies many aspects of IP law overreach - like extending copyright terms even further and mandating DMCA-like anti-circumvetion rules [2].
