Okay well, let's try an experiment - tell me one thing you find morally or ethically reprehensible, and I'll try to provide you with one devil's advocate reason why the other side might consider it differently. Then we can do it the other way around.

The dialogue between the two "opposing sides" has so completely broken down that "othering" is in full effect - there is no concept of what the "other side" wants, just third-party digestion of what someone thinks it wants.

I'm not a Trump or Clinton supporter, although I'm biased for Trump and against Clinton, so I'll gladly take the first step.

I've listened to some of Trump's speeches, and some of Clinton's speeches. I've also had a little bit of exposure to Obama's speeches, which I really liked. From my experience, Clinton's campaign has always had an undercurrent of contempt for opposing voters. I've looked around and seen other people have this belief - https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/45paoo/why_would_...

Clinton even went so far as to label half of Trump's supporters as "deplorables....racist,sexist,homophobic..". Here's a discussion of that comment I've read - https://www.quora.com/Why-did-Hillary-Clinton-call-half-of-D...

Madeleine Albright, when talking at a Clinton rally, said "there's a special place in hell for women who don't help each other" - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/feb/06/madeleine-al...

Gloria Steinem suggested that female Bernie voters are doing it "for the boys" - https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/feb/06/bernie-sande...

You may have heard about "Bernie Bros" from the time Bernie was still a threat to her candidacy.

It's not just attachments to her campaign, the media has been relentlessly supporting Clinton in labeling Trump supporters(or even anyone opposing Clinton) as racist and sexist. It doesn't stop with the media, it's her supporters as well, here's an example - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd4wXAUFAow

One of the possible explanations of Trump's surprising victory is the social stigma of voting for him - http://politics.stackexchange.com/questions/13075/why-were-p... This worries me greatly, as a very zealous proponent of free speech - I wouldn't want a significant contingent of voters, enough to sway a whole election, to feel like they cannot voice their opinions publicly, even if I disagree with them.

Considering all that, why do you think Clinton's campaign holds a moral high ground over Trump's? Why should I not be worried about this undercurrent of contempt for anyone politically opposed to her?
and this is good, because I wouldn't want to hire someone without any sense of humor
The forester mileage (I drive one) is highly sensitive to driving style. You can only get above 30mph by being very conservative - shifting up at 2000RPM, coasting whenever possible, accelerating like you're pressing on eggshells.

Just put up the instantaneous-mileage screen and you'll see how hard it is to keep it in the higher range.
Why not? I find your perspective interesting because I much prefer this style of interview.
Not new at all. I wrote a piece in 2014 on Hong Kong's protest talking about the exact same issue of Facebook:

https://paradite.com/2014/11/11/internet-polarized-society/
> 59million liked all new age sjw stuff

That is such an absurd and reductionist dismissal of this election that is no different than the equally wrong people saying "59 million people liked all the old sexist, homophobic, racist and xenophobic attitudes, and 59 million other people didn't"

What you are doing here is just perpetuating the problems that have plagued this election cycle and made it so people are completely unable to discuss real issues.
> but it's not secret this is how the system works.

But what do you expect people to do when they're unhappy with how it works? Do you expect them to calmly organize and use lobbying to affect change?

No. You do not. Nobody does. People don't know how to do that. People do know how to complain loudly though. So that's what is happening.

> there is no reason to cry when you know how the system works but it goes against you.

There absolutely is a reason. That's how change starts.

> So, here, it is no surprise.

And neither should you be surprised at people crying about it, IMO.

I watched CNN and it was so painful to watch them try to keep it exciting. They didn't want to call Florida for so long even after it became statically impossible for Clinton to make up the difference.

The sense I got is the sooner the conclusion is reached, the sooner people stop watching.
I find the electoral system in US to be funny. When 47.7% people voted for Hillary and 47.5 voted from Donald, yet Donald won.

This is for the second time that Dems have lost this way, the last time was during Al Gore vs Bush
All I wanted was a light with two modes - on and off.

If you're in the U. S., go to Harbor Freight's website and print off the "free flashlight" coupon (I just looked, and harborfreight.com has it at the top of the page). Go buy some tools. Or just go pay the full $3 for their LED flashlight. I've probably got three or four of these things rattling around. One of them rattled around in my motorcycle tank bag for two weeks going as far north in Alaska as is possible on a bike, bouncing down every dirt road I could find. Still use that one today. Several are years old and get used for camping and around-the-house, still going on their original batteries. Bright enough for most of the times you need a flashlight. Runs on AAs. If I ride off with it sitting on top of a saddlebag, I shed no tears.

If I need serious lighting, I break out the high-dollar 900 lumen headlamp. But most of the time I find myself reaching for the cheapy HF that has never failed to turn on and apparently runs on perpetual motion.
Ah I see. Thanks
American Health Excitement Is Stronger Than Donald Trump’s Combover
I spent 5 years living in Wisconsin, and I've been telling everyone that Trump would definitely win there. The week before the election, I actually went so far as to say that I expected Hillary to win the popular vote, and Trump to win the electoral college.

I wasn't predicting a Trump win out of bias. I'm very liberal, and my friends are too. However, none of my friends believed me. I'm not going to say I was confident in my prediction, but I thought the race was much closer than it appeared. I talk to a lot of people in my job, and I could just tell that a lot of people would be far more okay with Trump as a president than they were willing to overtly say.

I'm not saying I'm some election analysis god, but I felt like people were galvanizing Trump support by refusing to acknowledge Trump as a legitimate candidate, which I think resonated with a lot of people who felt that their concerns were not being taken legitimately. The HRC campaign focused on the negative aspects of his campaign, but his support came from the fact that people felt that Trump cared about their concerns.
As a politician seeking election, he said various conflicting things. You can read into this what you want, but I certainly wouldn't consider it strong support for marriage equality:

WALLACE: But, Mr. Trump, let's take one issue. You say now that the Supreme Court has ruled that same-sex marriage is the law of the land and that any politician who talks about wanting to amend the Constitution is just playing politics. Are you saying it's time to move on?

TRUMP: No, I'm saying this. It has been ruled up. It has been there. If I'm a, you know, if I'm elected, I would be very strong on putting certain judges on the bench that I think maybe could change things.

But they've got a long way to go. I mean at some point, we have to get back down to business. But there’s no question about it. I mean most -- and most people feel this way.

They have ruled on it. I wish that it was done by the state. I don't like the way they ruled. I disagree with the Supreme Court from the standpoint they should have given the state -- it should be a states' rights issue. And that's the way it should have been ruled on, Chris, not the way they did it.

This is a very surprising ruling. And I -- I can see changes coming down the line, frankly. But I would have much preferred that they ruled at a state level and allowed the states to make those rulings themselves.

WALLACE: But -- but just to button this up very quickly, sir, are you saying that if you become president, you might try to appoint justices to overrule the decision on same-sex marriage?

TRUMP: I would strongly consider that, yes. [1]

Huffington Post was one of Nate Silver's largest critics because his math disagreed with their political desires. This graphic [1] - laughably claiming to be scientific - was on their home page on Tuesday afternoon. 538 had Trump at about 28% at the exact moment I took this screenshot, and HuffPo's "scientists" had him at 1.7%. If anyone wonders whether HuffPo and its ilk are "biased but reliable," wonder no more. They're just biased.

Local legend says that Birkenhead Park was an influence to Olmsted:

As a progressive democrat I think the protesting is abhorrent behavior. If the right burnt Hillary effigies has she won, it would be all about sexism... I voted for Bernie in the primaries AND the general. I picked my President last fall when I saw the inspirational message that Bernie Sanders brought.

Trump won, get over it. Don't blame the #bernieorbust crowd, if you want to blame someone - blame the DNC for giving us a lame racehorse. Hillary lost because SHE is a Clinton. She lost because of corruption and illegal activity prosecuted or not. She is a liar, a cheat, and nobody can discount that. She might as well be a reincarnation of Marie Antoinette. The people do not want to give more power to the establishment, unfortunately the nationalists won out over the egalitarianists, hopefully though egalitarianism can find it's way back into America.

The article mentions us 'sheep' being 'stupid' -- but we're not stupid enough to NOT see through the lies and falsity that is Clinton.. I honestly think Trump simply said what he knew Republicans wanted to hear to anger them and get elected. He might temper and actually be an okay President... or he might be stunted by congress every step of the way and be the 'break' we need from Dem control to regroup and put a more progressive front up in 2020.

I know for one thing - change is in the air, that change can be in the style of Hitler, or the style of FDR, sadly we didn't pick the FDR candidate, but we'll have another chance in 2020.

In traditional news organizations, editorial boards and newsrooms operate independently of each other and it's unfortunate when high quality reporting is too often dismissed with a quick "meh, it's a liberal|conservative rag that can't be trusted." The "editorialization" by the modern blog-o-sphere has wrecked havoc on the landscape and sewed the seeds of distrust. I don't think there is any doubt of that.

I moved to Atom from jEdit (on Linux). I build it from source and it runs well. And SFTP plugin is working well. I've been coding 20+ years and find Atom easy to use and customise.

I'm teaching code too, Atom is pretty easy for beginners as well.
That case is extremely cloudy. There is no way to know what actually happened.

But witnesses range from unreasonably in favor of the shooter: "Trayvon was reaching for a gun after be loud and beligerent and was shot in clear self defense", all the way to unreasonably in favor of the shot: "Trayvon was shot in cold blood and broad daylight by a bigot and a the shooter was let free because of institutional racism".

To claim you know what happened is extremely showing of your lack of understanding of the situation or of your implicit bias.
Yes. Though you could also use those 52 hours to actually spend time with that spouse and children.

I think there can be a bias towards newness in the JS ecosystem, but Express is well supported and stable.

The country is mostly red. Even though Clinton got 200k more votes I'm sure you can see why the the electoral system is in place.

I like to add there is still 4 million votes that are being counted. Projection even from CNN is that Trump wins the popular vote.

I was not trying to dismiss what you said. If anything, I was condensing it into my understanding.

The basis is not that brute force is better. The essence is most of us are not seeking an elegant solution to a problem. We are seeking a solution to a problem. Often, just getting that answer is all that matters. Finding a more concise way to get it is something I fully agree that someone should be trying to do. And, in the long term, it is a huge boon if it is found. For most tasks, though, the original solution is all that was needed.
That's true of everything, though?

I mean a shitty $2 shirt wouldn't exist but for the power looms of the 19th century...
the question is kind of a joke. If you reply 'hire' it would tell me that you are ok with answering a joke question and not flipping out like some other replies did.

If you get all pissed off that I asked you such a question, perhaps I should not hire you since you will get pissed off at silly things that happen at work.
I think they're made by HTC in the same way Apple's phones are made by Foxconn, which is the reason I used the "made by" in quotes.

As I think it's disingenuous to consider the Pixel another company's phone (like the Nexus line was)
Alternatively, you can specify your expectations up front. It doesn't have to be an exact number, just a hint -- e.g. "No talk if the salary isn't well north of 100K".
It's already happening judging from my friends in Germany who have kids.
So, why did they not call the data garbage instead of giving us a number?

As with credit agencies... "We do not give advice on investments", yeah but everybody invests based on your ratings.
That's a good concept. Can you come up with a sexier name?

So basically Facebook shows its users content they want to see. How is it a problem? if I have specific centers of interests, I don't want Facebook to show something I'm not interested in. Not because I want to live in an echo chamber BUT because I'dd have to filter content manually which is time consuming. There is nothing wrong with how Facebook works. The goal of Facebook is make money through ads, it's not a charity or a governmental agency (well, that's debatable). My point is Facebook needs to retain users or they'll go somewhere else.

This is a really important point. Currently both parties (and voters) strategize based around the rules that are in place. Once the rules change, the strategies will change too. You'll still lose elections, and you'll still end up outraged roughly half the time.
This election wasn't just about SJW - it was much more multifaceted than that.
Right. But consider that if we just want a network that can play the perfect game of flappy bird, the correct answer is to find the parameters of a success and store those. Anything else is then just excess data. (This is calling the program that got the answer data. That happened to have been executed to get the perfect player.)

Particularly nasty this time around with the amount of name calling and threats of violence[1]. I'm pretty sure any tech person who was for Trump shut the heck up after the whole Peter Thiel narrative. The amount of people who would rather act out than understand what is going on is a bit mind blowing.

Of course, this is just a weird year when a third-party had a shot at the 5% and all of them sabotaged themselves by picking people who were uniquely unlikely to get votes. Could have been the setup for a 2020 three party run.

1) you would have to be insane to run a business and have a Trump sign in your window unless you were hoping for an insurance settlement.

I use a testing framework[0] all the time in Go, and while I appreciate it's possible to write tests without one I think it's just pig-headed to not have something like that in the standard library.

If you just use testing.T you will most likely end up with a lousy, developer-hostile test suite. (Also, the default coverage metrics are very very weak. But I love Go just the same.)

As a native-born American, I would have no problem with a headline from The Guardian talking about the basics of using a torch. I would briefly wonder if they're referring to the electric things that make light, or the flamey things you hold in your hand, and shortly after conclude that of course they mean "flashlight".

But unlike "torch" as far as I know "flashlight" has a single meaning. Were you truly confused by the headline, or just being pedantic?
There are now a multitude of echo chambers, you could easily argue that each user has his own personalized bubble. What is different from before social and personalized media is that there is (much) less common experience anymore, no dominant common denominator like a major newspaper.
What Zuckerberg should point out is that – in a way – this is detrimental to what his alleged aim with FB is: to connect people. I'm not sure where this will lead us to. Since I started using FB more intensively I actually feel more disconnected from people than ever.

What can you do in Go that you can't do in other languages? I can't think of anything. The only major benefits over, say, C++ or Java (which I don't think are very impressive languages) are a few convenient threading primitives, but you also lose a lot of expressive power.
It is a federation of States, not a single State. Each one has its weight as State relative to the federation. So it is not "the people" who vote for the president. It is the people who vote whom their State will vote as president.
Makes sense. Now, how can Silver correct his methodology to capture the above in future elections, I wonder.
Which he also later clarified to meant immigrants from countries with direct ties to terrorism. And TEMPORARY only, until they can figure something out, like a vetting program, from those countries with direct ties to terrorism.

He wants to protect everyone from terrorism. Yes, he wants to protect Muslims from terrorism too. He even asked them for their help in the fight against radical terrorism, because he knows that terrorism affects them too.

What's going on there has a lot to do with lifestyle. Some of the most challenging specialties (cardiovascular, neurosurgery) are understandably selective. But others (Radiology, Dermatology) have more to do with people wanting a good lifestyle. Those specialties which may already have short hours, then strategically limit the amount of Doctors they let in to keep the supply low and the salaries high. Thus you get highly competitive specialties because of short hours and high pay. So if you've ever needed a Dermatologist, but struggled to get an appointment less than 6 months away... its not because nobody wants to do derm. Its because they don't let many doctors do it. Its sad.
