And Clinton has Private and Public views. I get that you haven't followed Trump, but in that case you shouldn't attack him either with partial information.

The Direct Democracy President

'Months ago, when Trump stumbled on his answer about criminal penalties for women who seek illegal abortions, the public went nuts, and Trump immediately corrected his position. That’s direct democracy. Trump heard the opinion of the majority and instantly adopted it.

Consider Trump’s proposal to ban all Muslim immigration. The public felt his position was too extreme, and let him know. Eventually, Trump softened his stance to talk about countries of origin, not religion. The public still wasn’t pleased, so Trump softened again to his current position of “extreme vetting.” That evolution in policy looks like direct democracy to me. The public told Trump what it wanted, and Trump evolved to it.

Likewise, we found out this week that Trump’s plan to deport 11 million Mexicans living in the United States illegally has some wiggle room. Maybe there won’t be so much deporting after all. Because the public doesn’t want it.'[0]

In 1994 my country switched from first past the post to MMP.

Incredible fear mongering was put about (and sometimes still is). But despite our near brushes with craziness (like Kim Dotcom almost buying his way into parliament) the situation now is immeasurably better than when we had political parties who did not have to compromise and cooperate. Everyone's more...reasonable.

To an outsider it looks like getting rid of the two party system would be a great thing for the US.
> We are on one hand supposed to respect and honor other cultures, but are not allowed to cultivate, maintain and respect our own (American) culture.

Oh, who prevented you? What exactly is your culture?
Do you have any examples of what you call racism from Trump. I haven't been following him super close (not American), but from what I've seen he wants to tighten up immigration. It's my understanding that this is not racism, but protectionism. Here in NZ it's very hard for people to immigrate here (I have had friends have to leave) but we don't associate racism with tight immigration policy.
It's only a farce if you don't believe that Hillary is representative of corrupt, career politicians.

It seems many of the people I know who voted for him wouldn't care if he dropped his pants and took a shit in one of the Smithsonian museums. "At least he's not part of the establishment."
Poker is a great way to learn to overcome outcome bias.
> I think the working class was really tired of Globalism...I'm sorry--it always bothered me.

It's not just globalism - it's global competition. Even if the US repeals NAFTA and other trade agreements and economically isolates itself, competition from Japan, China and Germany will remain.

The golden age of American manufacturing wasn't possible just because Glabalism wasn't in existence - it was possible because there was no competition since countries were rebuilding in the aftermath of WWII
Hasn't it though?

I mean the decline of the US manufacturing sector has led to an emerging middle class in many other countries. Clearly most of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of the few but there has definitely been a reversion to the mean globally where the average worker on earth is doing better and the average worker in the US is doing the same or worse...
> Most people are, by definition, of nearly average intelligence

that's... optimistic. doesnt that also mean half the population is below average intelligence?
Maybe they're just being polite because they don't want to randomly critique your culture (and probably don't want you to do likewise)?

People want positive experiences and encounters because, honestly, life can suck and negative feedback loops are a real thing.

I've lost the goodwill of colleagues and friends by being as callous as you want others to be to you. You might want to meditate on that.
> It is possible to view this as an isolated event or a trend. Coming on the heels of BREXIT this is a trend.

It's a seductive idea but I think you're reading too much into this. It's hard to tell what people are really voting for when there are two options each of which encompasses a bunch of largely disparate policies. I wouldn't be surprised if a large amount of the Trump vote was just a vote against "political correctness" or one against Hillary as a person. Humans sure love patterns.
The syntax in this article doesn't work on recent versions of tmux. The new syntax is simply `set-option -g mouse`.

Also, `mosh` is amazing... it's so great being able to still work on my dev VM from a tethered connection on a public bus.
I think you need to let things sink in a bit. There often seems to be an element of panic with the losing side of these presidential elections, but life goes on.

Ignoring the characters involved in this campaign, at a basic level, this sort of party switch is pretty normal, as there is often a party change once the President completes his second term. Its a pendulum swinging from left to right and back again. Reagan to Bush was an exception, but we know what happened with his re-election attempt. So, in 4 or 8 years, I wouldn't be surprised if things moved back to the left.
I reiterate my post-Brexit-vote offer of giving immigration and relocation and general advice to anyone wishing to move to Germany. Contact info in my profile.
And Trump was once a Democrat
I disagree. American culture is still very much there, it just doesn't exist within the corporate/commercial realm.

I think something people always seem to overlook is that there never really was a singular American culture. The different regions have had very distinct cultures. I've been to Polish festivals across the Midwest, large bbq/cookouts in the south, and plenty of bluegrass festivals around appalachia.

There's plenty of culture around. It's just not at the surface anymore now that mass media and other interests have sort of taken control of that arena.
Most human constructs exist for a reason, but that doesn't mean they're good reasons.
It's also interesting given the relative immigrant populations:

As of 2011, 26% of the Australian population was not born in Australia.[1] That's around double the UK. The only nations with higher proportions are Luxembourg, Switzerland and Israel.

As the parent pointed out, Melbourne is particularly diverse, with 30% of the population not born in Australia.

I presume they are referring to focussing on skills based migration schemes vs humanitarian. As someone pointed out below, Australia's policies towards political and humanitarian refugees have many critics.

He doesn't have authority as President to impose stop and frisk on cities. That's why Federalism is wonderful.
Yes, we all know that the extremely wealthy who break financial laws always see justice and punishment.
Elm has inspired ... the development of ReactJS

I don't think that's true. React is a descendant of XHP, and predates Elm. Perhaps you were thinking of Redux?
The problem is, I don't buy it. I don't believe it. I listen to how Trump talks, how Trump supporters talk, all the racism, the sexism, the xenophobia, it's just not right. There's no excuse.

It's the beginning of fascism.

Btw, I'm German.
(I've lived in North America for more than ten years)
US is above its head in debt right now, on par with states like Spain or Greece.

Lowering the tax means it will be less money, meaning less social initiatives that benefit the poorer such as Medicare. Making taxes more progressive would work.
> Immigrants aren't the problem for most "right wingers." Illegal immigrants are.

Ah, I needed that laugh. Thanks, I appreciate it.
No, they can't. If you have any friends who went to law school, perhaps they could explain it to your satisfaction. Marbury v. Madison laid out these mechanisms over 210 years ago.
I think it was an accident because they were split between loving Trump and wanting him to die in a fire. I don't see any path towards true journalistic standards for any major networks.
Of course, if you look up in the dictionary you'll find that deficit and debt are distinct words:

debit: something that is owed or that one is bound to pay
to or perform for another

deficit: the amount by which expenditures or liabilities
exceed income or assets

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/deficit
http://www.dictionary.com/browse/debt

The Federal deficit was about $1.4T when Obama started and its about $600B now. Obama has been very fiscally conservative. In particular, he put the Afghanistan and Iraq wars on normal rather than emergency funding basis.

What Trump supporters fail to grasp is that many on the left agree but don't think Trump is the man for the job. He doesn't care about culture. You've been duped.
scala is controller by a company also. Also, kotlin is open source. the assumption is really bad.
Is there any (hopefully hilarious) argument behind this statement?
> Can we stop referring to the wisdom of crowds now?

The crowds are "wise" on the most base, trivial issues.

Now give them world-spanning complexity and crowds turn into complete idiots.
Poor whites in America seem to identify with rich whites more than others from different races who are working (or unemployed) right next to them.

To them, Trump is like the star NFL quarterback that everyone wishes to be, and wears that star's jersey on their back. Even if the fan is overweight and can barely waddle across the parking lot.

Except that in reality Trump does not have the skills necessary to do the job. (He is a great candidate, but will likely be a terrible president). Someone observed that Trump is a poor person's idea of a rich person. He is unfortunately likely a disenfranchised person's idea of an effective president.
God bless america!
EU surprisingly did take strong position when Ukraine crisis started. Only way EU countries can stand against Russia is if they have backing of NATO. Without this noone will take the risk.
That's totally not true. The WSJ, one of the leading conservative papers/voices, is very pro-immigration. Senators like McCain and Rubio almost got an immigration bill though Obama. There are pro-choice republican senators (Collins, Murkowski). And there are some that support gay marriage, include Rob Portman, and the reviled Dick Cheney. These are minority opinions, but the discussion is allowed.
Work to change what the average American thinks. Declaring democracy broken is counterproductive, as the only alternatives have been proven to be worse.

Freedom for everyone means they have the freedom to disagree as much as you do.
Not true here in Asia.

People love Obama and they see Hillary as an extension of his presidency.

People are afraid of Trump. He reminds them of the corrupt, self interested, dictator types, which are rampant in this region.
I was referring to legal immigration since 1965.
Inequality and xenophobia are not mutually exclusive. One way in which resentment of inequality is expressed is in the form of xenophobia.
> Even if China sees this as an opportunity to jump to (that's a VERY big if), the US can easily handle all three of them.

They can, but will they? Trump has made it clear that he's not so eager to fulfill his NATO obligations when it comes to Russia. If Putin decides to move on Estonia, it's possible that the EU will have to defend Estonia without US help.

I'm less concerned about China; their expansion in the South China Sea is somewhat worrying, but their mostly interested in peace, economy and improving the lives of the common Chinese. In fact, China may be the only major power that I'm somewhat hopeful about. They may not be democratic, but they're giving increasing attention to fighting corruption and pollution, and their increased wealth has made the Chinese people a lot more informed and assertive.

But Putin worries me, and Trump's election could end up removing a major balancing factor to Russian aggression.
He made his money within a society. Money is not necessarily adding value (increasing the pie), it is also just shifted around. If his income were distributed more equally between many others who would instead pay taxes, the amount of taxes would be far, far higher.
Trump called for 20-30,000 US troops on the ground in Syria.

They should have woken up quickly when they noticed Bernie's level of support. He wasn't supposed to be that popular. Especially with younger people. On paper it looked like "oh she's a woman, young people would like that". When it didn't happen, it was time to listen, not throw everyone from that camp under the bus.

I don't even know how DNC will recover from that. It is viewed as a failure, a cesspool of corruption and anyone with morals would stay away from it.

> This election was lost, not won.

So true. They had it in their pocket. Bernie would have wiped the floor with Trump. But of course corruption gets in the way...
Australia's full of things that will bite you, sting you or just downright eat you.

Come to New Zealand instead. You can always pop across the ditch for the weekend whenever you want.
That's a good point, and I was wrong to paint all right wingers with the same brush. They are in fact quite varied, as you point out.

My larger point still stands, however. I still maintain that you'd get in trouble saying the kinds of things I said at a Republican rally because of political correctness that many (though not all) right wingers adhere to.

Even if those particular examples weren't the best, there are plenty more where those came from. Try saying you don't support the military. Try saying that burning the American flag is a form of free speech. Try saying that Clinton is a better candidate than Trump, and so on.
So true. Progressive and tolerant on the far left (so long as you share the same views)
Well, it's a good thing you don't. Fines that high would allow some random mid-level government bureaucrat to effectively shut down any business that crossed him or her.

No creditor is going to do business with an entity that could cease to exist tomorrow. Even an accusation of hiring illegal immigrants would effectively be a corporate death penalty, as the business would find itself quickly frozen out of its relationships with customers, creditors and suppliers. In theory this leads to businesses scrupulously following the rules, avoiding even the appearance of violations. In practice, though, rules are complicated and ambiguous, time is finite, competency is finite, and even the most well intentioned business can hire someone without the correct paperwork. Or hire someone, and then have their paperwork expire. Or miss a required check on paperwork. Or something else entirely. Are you going to punish a business with death for making a simple error in filing horrendously complicated immigration paperwork? If so, do you also think that we should have police snipers ready to kill anyone going even one mile over the speed limit? After all, speeding kills many more people than illegal immigration every year.
If people care so much about immigration, why do anti-immigrant groups need to lie so much? If I had to accuse deficit hawks of being rapists that were conspiring with the Jews to bring down the US then I'd maybe conclude that people didn't care that much about the deficit.
To be fair to 538, their final prediction was that Trump had a 1 in 3 chance to win.

This is what 1 in 3 looks like.
The UK is part of the west. He's talking about the face of corruption from Russia's point of view.

Are you upset for the election in USA?
And because of WW2 America accelerated out of the Great Depression and into an even larger and more dominant global economic superpower - an economic superpower that fueled the middle class and all the working blue collar jobs that Trump voters pine for.
A higher percentage of people in Australia voted for the liberal party.[1]

Trump won because:

>I tried to talk about good roads and good schools and all these things that have been part of my career, and nobody listened. And then I began talking about n*, and they stomped the floor.

-George Wallace

He took a very simple road. He appealed to the fear of the Other.
It already is illegal to employ illegal immigrants, and in fact most businesses that do, are also committing tax fraud, which can be punishable with jail time.
I'm sorry, but if there were ever a time for the black bar, this is it.
It's an interesting question. But doesn't the fact that coastal regions are pro-trade and interior lands are against it tell us that people are pro-trade when they engage in it and against it when they don't?

So a response may be to get more people engage in trade and globalization instead of only seeing the bad sides, the closed factories, etc.

How does one do that I don't know. Maybe Google should move its campus to Iowa.
yeah, probably. But this split is what a good media company needs at any point in time on any issue. Otherwise it's just one-sided drivel.
Well, I don't know if a "real monster", but if pandering to (and propagating conspiracy theories from) the alt-right doesn't tickle you as a bit bothersome, you might be part of the problem.
Donald Trump is the president former european colons have elected on concern about immigration. What an irony.

Sioux, blackfeet, algonquins, montagnais, apache, yahi ... you are the real americans and the world is telling you Donald Trump is the president of a nation that once welcomed the pilgrims that were persecuted in Europa.

I guess thanksgiving meaning has been lost.

If only trump could be consistent and self kick all the white americans him included as illegal immigrants from the country.
Shit. Again?
Sure, but we are going to have a big problem with people not working before we get full automation.

Some people are fit to manual jobs rather than programming. There has to be some kind of solution.
An agreement is better than no agreement, and it certainly has worked this far. You're right though, whether it works or not remains to be seen, I am making a judgement on its success so far.
Several things come to my mind:

1.It marks as the final blow to US hegemony ever since USSR clashes. It is hard for me to believe, after this election, US will still be hailed as THE example that others should follow. Too many scandals and ugliness have been unleashed. That era is now officially over.

2.US will start look inwards other outwards. I mean globalization will halt to correction, or we will see the start of reverse of it.

3.Immigration will be tamed, across all level of skills. There will be more political pressure and obstacle for company to absorb foreign talents. Not good news for developers to seek job here in US.

4.History will not end after all, human as species is too complex for that.

5.Last not least, this election breaks a lot of values, or the illusion of having them, but fails to bring up its own. This is the ultimate devastating part. The boundary between democracy and populism is vaguer than ever, and its benefits, other than a national ritual to legalize a new administration, is putting under questions.
Might is the critical word here, and I appreciate that you chose to use it. All of these things are possible, but as the original commenter suggested, I suspect most if not all of your fears will prove unfounded. I very much doubt much will change for Muslims in our country, or that deportations will change much (aren't they actually higher under Obama than previous administrations?), or that diabetics will not be able to afford their medication, etc. You may be right that limits may be placed on when an abortion can be obtained, but there's no way gay marriage will be reversed.

In short, I agree that in all likelihood the most disappointed voters will be those who voted for Trump expecting him to do all those things you're afraid he'll do. They wanted someone to really shake things up, and he'll give them modest tweaks and proposals with great branding.
I'll give the foreign media a pass since Trump was doing a lot of finger pointing at foreign countries and their citizens. The domestic media on the other hand...
yeah,true
And right-wing populism has also been growing stronger in countries where they're not yet in power. Geert Wilders, Front National, Alternative fur Deutschland... I don't like the direction the world is taking.
how much can it bend in the pocket? is there a video/example? i do usually brake cards, so wondering how a screen can survive me.
> how much "damage" is President Trump going to be able to do.

His rhetoric is already escalating the "war on Muslims". Electing him further confirms that Americans are the enemy of Islam. This is exactly what terrorists were trying to accomplish, and I think we can expect many more people to become radicalized. We can expect an increase in terrorist attacks. Walls won't save you. Tighter immigration control won't save you. The damage was done today, and in the months leading up to the election. I am legitimately scared to visit countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia. I was already scared about Turkey, and the situation there will only get worse. I'm worried for my relatives and friends who live there.

Donald Trump doesn't trust the science behind climate change. He doesn't believe that it's real. He would like to dismantle the EPA and increase our dependence on coal and oil. Even if I ignore his deep character flaws, business failures, and sexual assault accusations, this single issue is a dealbreaker for me. Luckily we have many other people working on clean energy, like everything that Elon Musk is doing. But how can this be coming from the President of the United States?

People say that Donald Trump is a smart man. Smart people don't say things like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU2p6YakNJg
To me this shows how hard it is to come up with good solutions for problems.

I think both Trump and Clinton know what the problems in the US are. The difference is: Trump is naming all problems but doesn't provide real solutions, Clinton is only naming problems she has a solution for.

That's why the working class votes for Trump because he is the only one who is talking about their problems.

The same is happening here in The Netherlands. Politics doesn't likes to talk about problems with immigration. Wilders does. That's why he is very popular. But just like Trump his solutions are unrealistic.

This is also why I don't think a lot is going to change in the US. The unrealistic solutions are what they are: unrealistic. So the Mexican wall is never going to be build.

The only sad outcome is that this populistic talk is dividing the nation.
If only you were truly understand what you talking about:) In fact, Intellij platform is open sourced(https://github.com/JetBrains/intellij-community), many IDE's for different languages built on top of it(like https://intellij-rust.github.io/), as well as Kotlin plugin itself.

And yeah don't forget Eclipse Kotlin plugin, fully open-sourced)

JetBrains open-sourced decades of their hard work, building world's best IDE. And you can benefit from it for free.

You don't even have to pay for webstorm/rubymine. Just install plugins you need to Intellij CE)))
