That's what you get when you generalize over all media and, especially, not knowing any of them.

European media are on both sides of the aisle, you will find both left and right leaning ones, including crazy tabloids.

However, what you likely won't find is something like Fox News, with conspiracy theory pushing nutcases being regulars there.

BTW, this theory about a "media conspiracy" is not new, nor something that Trump or Putin invented. Lügenpresse ("lying press") is a term widely popularized by (not invented) and mostly associated with National Socialists in Germany - in Hitler's Mein Kampf, for example.

Most people parroting this unfortunately don't care - anyone having a different view has to be a part of some complot or aiding the "enemy" (whoever that happens to be).

How do you forecast an election? – Nassim Nicholas Taleb [pdf]
One of the major EHR systems used in the United States, VISTa, was developed by the Veteran's Administration and is open source. It's sufficiently successful that it's been adopted not just by other government agencies but a number of private hospitals. Most instances still seem to be based on a commercial M implementation, but some use the fully free GT.M stack

It's M based and in general not on the cutting edge of technology, but it's long service life has shown that it fits the need. I've worked with it once at the Indian Health Service and while not exactly Web 2.0 it is quite powerful and familiar to the staff there.
I would imagine sales numbers wouldn't justify a full US based development team in 'maintenance mode'.

The company probably feels they can do just as well (at a lower cost) with outsourced devs.
Agreed. And compounding the problem: she also put Trump in that basket.

"Well, she said I was deplorable, but couldn't be more wrong, because I'm a good person... she must be wrong about him too"
Of course they are, they have to spin it to get their base to believe they've been cheated.

The results will come in eventually that she lost the popular vote, but that feeling they cultivated will remain.
And what defen is saying is that the actual debate is about "illegal" immigrants. Not all immigrants. I have absolutely no idea where the idea that Trump doesn't want legal immigrants in the country came from; as that's certainly not true.
Right, and congress must vote from the available candidates, and couldn't pick anyone? Obviously none of this will happen, but it's fun to think about I think.

If you've seen the tv show Veep, they play around with a similar scenario, but one where the electoral college is tied. In the show, congress also ends up in a tie, and so elects the vice president into office instead. As far as I understand the rules though, the vice president would only be elevated to president in case congress can't resolve the matter before inauguration day, and will only hold the office until congress resolves the tie and picks a president.

I probably have most of this wrong, but I think it's very interesting to hypothesize about the possibilities, no matter how remote. I obviously don't think any of this would happen, but it's fun to think about.
Absolutely, and that's a big step forward to writing code that will silently do bad things on a different platform. I use that technique on my current project to assert a load of things that I know are true.

It doesn't get you as far as the ideal goal which is to write code that will silently work on another platform. Static asserts mean that you then have to go and write more code when they happen.
It's still illegal at the federal level.

The next administration may take a different approach to enforcement than the current one (I think it is kind of likely. But let's hope they choose not to prosecute growers and dispensaries and such.)
... yes, "promises" are how people defend their vote, and now we're going to get a front-row seat to see what happens to "promises" when the bullshit artist, Trump, is in charge.

We do, in fact. That's the whole point.
And free speech, apparently.

Nonsense. White guilt is of the genus that is the best guilt to have. You are guilty about something you didn't do, you feel good about your guilt, and you can push off the penance on the community at large. I'll take it any day over guilt for running over a neighbor's dog.

(Particularly since a) I'm white, and b) I haven't yet injured any of my neighbors' dogs.)
What's the alternative? Hating them? Pretending they don't exist?

The Soviet's might have been broke in the 1980s but they were armed to the teeth and I do think that the change from "evil empire" rhetoric to actually engaging with their new leadership probably reduced the risks of an all-out war which few of us would have survived - certainly not here in the UK.
well, French is not easier than Spanish. Culturally similar than Mexico and California? LOL!
"We’re losing a lot of people because of the Internet,” Trump said. "We have to see Bill Gates and a lot of different people that really understand what’s happening. We have to talk to them about, maybe in certain areas, closing that Internet up in some way."[1]

Trump thinks that talking to Bill Gates will allow him to "close that Internet up". This guy hasn't got a clue about technology.

The issues facing basically the entire global economy are extremely daunting. Our system of capitalism is based around increasing population and GDP leading to increasing levels of prosperity over time. What happens when you can automate large sectors of the economy, and you literally don't need that many people to sustain economic growth?[2]

I have many Chartered Accountant friends and the sheer number of their clients (with black money) who have their asses on fire right now suggests a very different picture then the one you have.

As for the labor class, I just bought vegetables from poor vendors/farmers and they were all praising this step, even the illiterate understand how this is good for them in the long run.
Yes. It's never been incapable of doing what I need it to do. Configured properly, it can be very fast. And I know it better then I know my primary spoken / written language. Precautions need to be taken as with any language regarding scrubbing data, memory usage, sql queries, etc... but IMO, it's still a perfectly valid language.
This is indeed not how it works. Provocateurs, not perpetrators.
Yes it's easy to start something without thinking too much. I suppose that someone fluent in nodejs would say the same about nodejs though.

I agree with a lot of these steps, although if you're considering putting Deep Freeze on, there's a few other similar programs that I find work just as well but are free. Comodo Time Machine is one, Reboot Restore Rx http://horizondatasys.com/reboot-restore-rx-freeware/ is another.
I do have some sympathy for the author's desire to have record extension (re-)added, as that looks like a pure win, from my outside perspective. Maybe there are concerns which insiders may be better able to spot, like losing some reasoning ability.

As for typeclasses, I think Elm's stance is perfectly reasonable. Typeclasses aren't a pure win, they have downsides too:

- They couple the term level to the type level by allowing values to depend on types. This makes it impossible to compile or interpret a program without first checking/inferring its types. Static types without typeclasses don't have this problem; as far as I can tell this even includes dependent types (which do their coupling the other way), as long as you don't allow some form of typecase.

- Global uniqueness of instances doesn't compose. If I have a perfectly correct module A, and a perfectly correct module B, a module C might break by importing both, due to overlapping instances. This has to be mitigated by convention, e.g. not writing orphan instances.

- Local reasoning can require knowledge of global properties. This is especially true for things like code generation. For example, if I plumb together two expressions, say `nub :: Eq a => [a] -> [a]` and `xs :: [b]`, I can generate new requirements like `Eq b`. However, I can't just go ahead and implement those requirements (e.g. generating an `Eq` instance for `b`), since that will break if there's already an implementation, floating somewhere in the sea of imported modules. Packages like `ifcxt` can help, by allowing lookups and fallbacks, but they're not a complete solution.

- If more than one instance of a typeclass might makes sense for some type, it's pretty much inevitable that APIs using the typeclass (e.g. `foo :: Bar a => a -> ...`) will gain extra functions for bypassing the typeclass (e.g. `fooBy :: (a -> ...) -> a -> ...`)

There are probably more issues in the literature, but these are ones I've been banging my head against recently.

Typeclasses are a great idea and a useful addition to the PLT toolbox, but including them in a language isn't an automatic improvement: it's more of a design choice to steer the language down a particular path, when other languages may prefer other paths. Similar to using strict/non-strict evaluation, or exceptions, or macros.
That's an awful easy argument to make when you're an upper-middle class white collar workers. I assure you, the vast majority of the American voting public do not care about the well being of Chinese peasants over their own. It's exactly that kind of Ivory Tower thought that landed us with Donald Trump.
Apparently you think very highly of yourself. Is it possible you aren't as great as you think you are?

I'm not in the pro-Trump groups but I remember in the debates he did touch on it in the debates for a second.

He want's to remove tax loopholes he takes advantage of. Presumably one of the largest ones would be loss declaration and a few other larger breaks.

He also published a tax plan earlier in the election that was an interesting read: https://www.donaldjtrump.com/policies/tax-plan

And the language against trump isn't focusing on his features either ?

1) his hair

2) his (supposed) psychological state, e.g. [1]

3) "deplorables" - we all know what and who is meant by this and very few or none of these are responsible for their situation

4) his family name

Professor Ashutosh Goel Invents Method to Contain Radioactive Iodine
In Philadelphia, the city government publishes election results to phillyelectionresults.com as they're counted. The local civic hacking group (code for philly) built a nodejs scraper of the site (and an API for it) and a mobile-friendly front-end that auto-refreshes. It was available at whowonphilly.com, but the city government office that oversees elections has since adopted it as the official live results site.

https://codeforphilly.org/blog/vote_and_watch_whowonphilly

Disclaimer: I work in philly's city government. It's really cool, and we'll soon be hiring a product manager (for beta.phila.gov), a data engineer (for open data), and a front-end/wordpress developer.
Vladimir Putin has been ruling Russia for over 15 years and is still in charge. So for now he really does represent Russia.

I'm surprised how many chinese support Trump, when I ask them why, one of the main reasons is that Trump will withdraw military support to Asia, Japan especially.
Hasn't Trump been an "optimate" his entire life?
Why is that particular act significant enough to be the line between "good" and "bad"?

Or to put it more personally, since I am taking it rather personally: why am I considered acceptable but my wife is not?
Not sure how to say this in a way that doesn't sound smug or self-righteous but...that's the price you pay for empathy and at least attempting to take the high road.

There will always be people who don't have the ability, capacity, wherewithal, or life experiences needed to see the bigger picture or recognize the need to put themselves in the shoes of others.

That leaves you with two options: fight "dirty" right back or deal with the reality and accept that you face an uphill battle.
I upvoted you. However, I think that Clinton was seen as the safe candidate: she had name recognition, she didn't scare Wall Street. That is not wholly the same as being the candidate of Smug.

I trust that the Democratic Party will understand that it has run out of ideas. Will the Republicans know what to do? It strikes me as quite possible that Trump's qualities could be those of a one-term president.
The people who voted on the single issue of losing jobs overseas are in for a rude awakening when they realize that almost all of these jobs will be automated even if they do come back to the US.
You confuse knowing with expertise.
Or that different group of people weren't as afraid of Trump as Clinton needed them to be.
I wonder if over time (and I'm talking many decades here) there is a shift from the military following the needs of trade to the military being used in a bigger power play that is actually unrelated to trade.

You presented the wikipedia article (which contained the image clearly showing two distinct branches) as an argument to begin with. Now it's not good enough anymore?

There are differences between Polish and Russian language. Between Latvian and Russian language - for all intents and purposes - there is nothing common. Oh, but both languages have free-word order!

There is no shared history. Latvia has been part of Germany or Swedish Empire and Polish Livonia far longer than it has ever been under Russian Empire/occupation.

I communicate with people who speak either in Latvian or English.

It seems like you're talking here about the older Russian minority living in Riga. They might be watching Russian TV, who could have thought?

I literally don't know a single Latvian - old or young - who watches Russian TV.
I do know older people (>40) people who don't know English well enough (and are too lazy to learn), so they would occasionally watch downloaded American movies or TV-series over-dubbed in Russian.

I think it's pretty clear by now on whose behalf you are posting here.
I'm done here.
> despite having access to free education, welfare and healthcare

That's the rub. I think they'd prefer to work. There are few places left in the modern world to find meaning. Supporting one's self through productive work used to be a great one. Living off the largesse of the state is demoralizing.

The jobs their looking for are not coming back, and its not just trade and immigration, but technology as well. While poverty can be mitigated through the welfare state, it isn't an ideal solution in the long term.

This is a hard problem.
This is actually a great example of the current phenomena where left-wing elites draw out the caricatures they want to see from their out-group (lower class or rural whites) and then reinforce it through their echo chambers.

No one at This American Life has any insight into what it means to be a blue collar worker worker.
Yep, shutting down speech because of "security concerns" is not banning, like what happened to many conservative speakers (Ben Shapiro at DePaul for example).
>>Everyone has right to ask and receive a compensation for their work. Nobody should be forced to work for unfair compensation

Last I check no one is being forced to create movies, music, books, software, or any other creative works.

I work in software development. I have had commercial projects fail miserably, I have spent 100's of hours on projects that have earned me $0, why because while I valued them clearly no one else saw enough value in them to provide me with money for them. I have no right to compensation for that labor. I only have the right to ask people to compensate me, if they choose not to then I miscalculated the market.

How do you reconcile your post with exit polls indicating that 25-30% of the latino vote (for both genders) went to Trump?
Sorry for the confusion, that line wasn't about the elects. It was about the people.

Yelling and screaming and threatening half of the country pushes them away - it doesn't bring them closer. I've had a lot more hate for being pro-trump and transexual from the "Never Trump" crowd than I did from the Trump crowd. Staggering amounts of hate.

Which is why I used the line: names which are only sometimes "earned". The names were used to try and persuade the public and to make people "not want to support Trump". All it did was turn huge parts of his crowd "silent". After all, "free speech is protected - but not without consequences!" and supporting Trump had its consequences. Look at how people treat Peter Thiel.

Considering that urban liberals have control over almost all American mass culture/media outlets, yes, we are well aware of how you think what your ideas are.
Different cultures have such dramatically different ideas about what laws they should be governed under, throwing them all into one set of rules is tyranny of the majority. California gets to feel that strongly right now, with Republicans owning 2/3, and soon 3/3 branches of the government.

More people get what they want when you have a larger number of smaller countries. California could have a democratic president and Texas could have a republican one. They don't need to hate how the other votes.
Can you share your PHP project?
I've already quoted it in my very first comment in this thread.

You could argue that writing "pillars which constrain the tube in the vertical direction but allow longitudinal slip for thermal expansion" and "slip joints at stations…" is not detailed enough. I've concluded this "longitudinal slip" means some kind of linear bearing on top of each pillar, where straight tube could slowly move without constraints in the direction of the cumulative thermal expansion, while being constrained vertically.

v v
-------------
tube
-------------
^ ^

After thermal expansion:

v v

tube

^ ^

(Note how "tube" sign written on the tube has moved past two pillars.)

Leancrew author missed the "longitudinal slip" part, because most of the article proves that thermal expansion accumulates. Of course it does! Thus the "longitudinal slip" solution.

Yes, Hyperloop paper could be more detailed and more clear. Indeed, it confused leancrew author.

Do you anyone knowledgable (in mechanical engineering?) who could comment on "longitudinal slip" solution? How feasible is it?

Just nitpicking, but Chaplin was born in the UK and was already a vaudeville star when he was signed up by Karno and went to Hollywood. His status as an immigrant led to calls for him to be deported when he protested against HUAC. In the end, when he left for the premier of Limelight in London in 1952, the AG revoked his re-entry permit, and he didn't return to the US for twenty years.

Which is not to deny that his silent movie career isn't American culture; just that Chaplin's relationship with America was complicated.
I lived in Denmark for 5 years and yes, it has been like that.

However, all the paperwork you will need to handle will still come in the official language, not in English. All contracts and legal documents will be in that language as well. So not knowing at least the basics will handicap you severely.

I have learned enough of Danish to be able to read the paperwork and do some basic writen communication. That's really the minimum to get you by.

Spoken Danish was a bit too much - the saying that Danish is not a language but a throat disease is not far from the truth!
Romney being a racist was not a major (or even minor) theme of Obama's campaign. I don't think you can really be suggesting that alleged racism on the part of the Republican candidate was as big an issue in the previous election as in the present one (where the Republican candidate made widely publicized explicitly racist statements).
Usually the state board of elections reports directly to the media.
