Yes, when I choose to date a woman (in part because of her beauty), I consider her my social equal. I also believe beauty gains a woman status and influence. Do you disagree with these two claims?

(In fact, I consider beauty to be one of the most underappreciated virtues in the modern world. As a weird tangent, one of the major things I prefer about NYC to Bombay is how NYC weights beauty over wealth.)

I'm beginning to think that what you call "scientific racism" is what I'd simply call "science" applied to humans. Do you believe it differs? If so, how?

I suspect that question will be dodged. I suspect you are using the term "scientific racism" rather than "science" in order to create equivalence between scientists and "hate groups", and imply I feel hatred towards some group. That's definitely an implication I object to.

So if you want to follow up with a question of whether or not you're a Jewish supremacist, you can spare it. I've read it all in 100+-year-old books.

As I suspected, all possible viewpoints I might hold result in you believing I'm a white supremacist.

Have fun with the highbrow dismissal and vague hints that some uncited authority supports your views.
I think in a way he already did at his acceptance speech last night, but how many liberals scoffed and turned off their televisions? Perhaps it's liberals and people of color who need to stop the hate, I think there was a lot more hate towards Trump and his supporters than there ever was towards minorities in this election.
> Clinton called some of them "deplorables" and there was such hue and cry

I think this was Hillary's single biggest mistake. It was exactly what they were waiting for -- the "Washington Elite" telling them they were less than. It gave the outsiders a rallying call.
How did you view Sander's support of Hillary?
Those are also highly rigorous jobs that can put a toll on the human body. Not many people really want to retire with pain. That being said, I'm not sure what the alternative for some individuals are. Maybe being on your feet a lot increases your overall well being, I'm not the expert on that.
> He wants to be more than just president, he wants to be a great president, that's in his nature.

I'm not sure that I buy that from his history. His life is one of chasing adulation and attention. He built gaudy hotels in big cities, he never chased the real estate growth market in housing. He ran a reality show, not a media network.

He's a narcissist, not a despot. Fill his cabinet with fawning sycophants and give him a media organization or two at which to direct his rage and I'll bet anything he just sits on his ass in the oval office and waits out his four years.

I guess that's what passes for optimism today. But it's the story I'm sticking to.
Yeah, it's subtle, but there is a definite hum of anti-semitism going on in the background of Trump's inner political circle.

First there was that poster with a six-pointed "sheriff" star on a pile of money, which (to me at least) didn't seem definitively anti-semitic. But in conjunction with hiring Steve Bannon (who has said he doesn't want his kids going to a school with too many Jews), running the "global special interests" ad, and retweeting white nationalists, it all starts to add up.

There are also swathes of evidence that most of the costs associated with running a typical household have gone up.

So while the goods that are mostly part of discretionary spending (think clothes and electronics) are cheaper, the essentials that can't be outsourced have also increased in price (education, healthcare, housing)
Of course its a proof of concept
Another dev who is very happy with the new machines, ordered one right away. In fact, I was very close to ordering a 12" MacBook, but the 13" was close enough, 1 port is a bit on the low side (4 USB-C is awesome, and I can't wait to get everything unified) and the TouchBar is quite intriguing.

I am personally appalled that 16GB could be considered too little memory for developer workloads (except for maybe some very specialised ones). While the Apple II with 48KB was a bit cramped, even an Amiga with 512k + 2MB RAMDisk was pretty decent, never mind the workstation-class NeXT cube with 16 or 32MB. (IIRC, developers at NeXT had 8MB machines, with compiles farmed out to servers, in order to "encourage" efficiency). I also developed significant Java server software on a 12" PowerBook G4.

Of course, the reality is that Xcode with clang/LLVM based tooling and its dictionary-based programming style sucks up RAM and CPU like you wouldn't believe, and various other decisions have been made in favour of recompiling/reindexing the world whenever possible. Swift takes that direction and dials it up to 11.

Anyone interested in more efficient dev tooling? Factor 10-100 improvements in performance are well within reach. Sub-second rebuild instead of minute+, MacBook/iPad plenty fast enough. etc.

Welcome to America where the news are fake and polls don't matter.
And then predicted Hilary would win, then "supported" Hilary, then Johnson, and then finally back to full Trump.

If I call out that Trump wins big in 2020, then the independents, and then a couple of Democrats, well I think I'll be in good shape.
This is a nice sound bite (kind of), but doesn't bear out the actual facts. The EC was designed specifically to ensure that States (in the big-S, Constitutional meaning) decide the President, not the people.
Why in the world would the GOP ever leave the filibuster in place? Mitch will remove it at the beginning of the 115th Congress.

Boom. Now Obamacare can be repealed with simple majority. I bet you dollars to donuts that insurance prices, however, will not go back down to pre-Obamacare prices. Because profits.
It's a good joke, but to take it seriously: Prison labor actually costs significantly more (like 4-5x!) than just hiring folks in the free market.
Extending the zone of safe and free society is definitely in our interests. I don't know when it became in vogue to openly shit on the Democratic Peace Theory, but it's certainly not for a lack of evidence. I guess it's something that you people have committed us to relearning.
While I haven't tried it yet, as far as I can tell the USB-C connectors have a lot less friction than other connectors, so maybe magsafe is just simply less necessary now?
And you believe that in light of the arguments I just gave about how removing only plea bargains would be bad thing, as it would just backlog the courts even further and make defendants suffer even worse punishments?

If you're thinking something like "oh yeah, every charge should go to trial, and we should fund it better so there's not a ginormous backlog, and require a big burden of proof before you can detain someone awaiting trial" -- well, that doesn't count, as it's changing the court funding and bail policies too. As it stands now, making every charge go to trial means waiting ten years for a trial. Doesn't sound like an improvement to me.

Do you also accept the implications of the scenario I gave, in a post-A-G world? Where, rather than take the lighter punishment, you prefer that the defendant risk the heavier punishment or put himself at the mercy of the judge?
I tried the new 13" rMBP last weekend in the Apple Store and I'd highly recommend exchanging the MacBook for the new rMBP. Much nicer, smaller than the 13" Air.

I think you are right, and I apologize to @mattnewton for accusing him of downvoting me, without factual proof. I will not erase my comment because I think his response and yours are valuable.
People associate "democracy" with "fairness". With
"representation". They associate it with "everybody's
voice is heard".

Which is really a matter of perspective. The people claiming that "democracy is dead" would be crowing about the "power of the people" if they were in the 51% and not the 49%.

Fairness doesn't mean "I get my way". And unfortunately, it's binary. Your candidate wins or loses. A loss feels like being ignored, not representation of your 49%.
Have you ever been drug screened? There's varying levels of privacy allowed depending on the company doing the screening (including absolutely none) but there's lots of policies in place to where using someone else's urine is very difficult to impossible. Part of my spouse's current job is to watch people pee for drug tests. Also I've heard of at least one company that does hair tests.
> They actually changed rules during the convention to make sure that couldn't happen.

Those knife fights over party rules (especially 40 (b)) made it possible for Trump to get into the running for the nomination, according to many GOP observers. See [1] for an explanation of how.

These election results are a political pressure relief valve: significant swathes of the electorate have been systematically excluded and ignored, then they tried to organize in different ways. First culminating in Ron Paul's bid, then a different wave in Bernie Sanders' bid, and enough formed coalitions behind Trump this time around to cost both parties' establishments their desired outcomes. Ignoring such large groups of the electorate for much longer would have cost us much more in the future. There are very big chunks of the population in a lot of pain for going on decades now, and effectively ignoring that is no longer much of an option going forward.

I see China possibly facing a similar issue with their rural population at some point in the far future.

> Not really - a law is a codification of desired human behavior.

No, that's a standard.

> This is definitely at the extreme end of the list of possibilities.

No, it's in the middle of the inevitable steps of escalation. A speeding ticket becomes an armed agent hitting you with a stick and jail time if you wait long enough. As does a court judgment over an illegally downloaded song.
It can't be as harmful as jailing people.
The physical function keys seem like more of an issue than escape, since I thought most people who use escape a lot in their work already use the capslock key in its place. The discussion can be weird here, someone posted that they wished the MacBook Pro came with a GPIO port, though maybe it was only that they wished it did, rather than they thought it should have a GPIO port.

Just an opinion, but I do kind of wish that the new touch bar was at the bottom of the keyboard (with good palm rejection intelligence) instead. I'm not sure I'll transition to using it if it is a pain to reach. Being able to choose external keyboards with the touch bar at the top or bottom would be kind of nice.

One thing that I would have liked about having an SD slot was the potential to store 100-200GB iTunes library on silent, slow, inexpensive flash, rather than wasting space on the main fast but expensive drive. Even though a cheap SD card could be unreliable, the music would be backed up elsewhere, and changes within the last day aren't important.
You never heard him say "build a wall"?
> Having the same opinion for 24 years is not a virtue.

That was not what GP was saying at all. He was saying that Bernie has always stood for what he believes is the right thing to do, whereas Hillary would pick a stance based on its political value.
It probably shouldn't but JS doesn't have much of a standard library so it's easy to make unfair comparisons.

How big do you think a java client to do the same thing would be?
Sorry, but this person's hipster glasses are clouding their judgement. The author enjoys the idea of paying for and using a $200 font way more than he actually enjoys using the font itself. In case you weren't convinced, the whole "I wrote this blog post with a pen" and a picture of their quirky and messy work area with the antique mechanical keyboard....

You are just the worst kind of person, Kenneth.
I didn't win anything lol. I'm third party and voted so but my wife and almost of my friends where I live are on the left. I was hoping for a 5% Libertarian victory for access to public funds (Presidential Election Campaign Fund’s grant). Competition is good.

Anyway, from my group of primarily left friends:

- I've heard some are moving out of the country.

- Many are removing friends that voted Trump or were Anti-Hillary. This has been happening for some time. Some are even removing family members.

- Even my wife told me she lost respect for me for voting third party.

The left and the right from the major parties are both full of shit.

But saying you are progressive when you don't tolerate other views and even lose respect for others that differ is on a whole other level of bullshit. And getting emotional and raging when you discover an opposing point is not progressive at all either. It probably just means you didn't learn to play in the sandbox with others.

It's all sad but the worst part is how the majority of citizens treat others with different views.
I agree with your premise on Linux but I'll never understand the Mac = creative thing. I've seen many people mention the creative aspects as a reason to use a Mac, but it's outdated thinking IMO – most creative professionals are using the Adobe Suite which has been cross platform for years.

As a dev I love having bash, a terminal, homebrew, wget, curl, etc available on my dev machine. At the same time I need world class application support for Office and the Adobe Suite that I wouldn't get on Linux. Mac is the happy medium between the power of linux with the polished GUI and application support of Windows.

Unless I was an MS only dev who depended on Visual Studio I can't fathom why I would switch to Windows (although things may be changing with Windows 10 and their Linux integration).
They're fantastic machines; I too was skeptical initially. The hinge friction feels loose but your positioning sticks. Key action feels impossibly shallow initially, but it's surprisingly rewarding once accustomed.
Thanks. Docker has been a pain lately since I moved my stacks over it.
> PC, SJW, safe-space, trigger-warning, micro aggression tendencies

You couldn't fit more reactionary buzzwords in there if you tried. Jesus... PC culture is not being able to call out Trump supporters for being bigots or else their feelings will get hurt.
> I think we learned that fake news (used to pump up fake issues) is now a legitimate campaign strategy that works even on people who should know better.

This, I think was the real genius of Trump's campaign. One role a journalist has in an open society to objectively seek the truth. I feel that Trump effectively defeated journalism through an utter disregard for it. Putin does the same.
because 1) Subjective answer either way. and 2) because he (potentially) gets to have a better quality of life than he currently has, with more opportunities to boot.

On the surface, it sounds like your saying that Pence can't be reasoned with based on a particular conclusion he's reached.

America has several advantages:

- higher salaries

- electronics, groceries, cars etc are all much cheaper

- lower rent if you compare towns and cities of similar sizes

- world leaders in computing for the past 50 years

Have you been to NZ? Why do you think it's so great? Do you like poorly built, overpriced housing, expensive groceries, lower wages and anti-American sentiment?

- More RAM.

> Apple doesn't have to listen to what the developers want--they don't need your business anymore.

Maybe, and maybe not.

For example, I bumped into an issue with the older MBP where if you plug in a Universal Audio audio interface and a 4K monitor, the audio interface starts to hiccup. The 4K monitor moves too much data over Thunderbolt in a single transaction and so overruns the latency limits for the audio interface. I had to solve this by putting the 4K monitor on the HDMI.

So, what "end user type" is going to figure this out? Universal Audio somehow missed this--nobody doing audio driver development on 4K monitors, possibly--and likely couldn't do anything about it anyhow. Apple likely missed this because it's just a couple of people. Most end users just return the audio interface with a "doesn't work".

The fact that everybody missed this means that Microsoft now has a windows of opportunity in audio. They have a gigantic touchscreen with huge resolution. If they didn't mess up and they separated the interfaces, they have a clean run to displace Apple in the audio space for years.

These are the kind of things your developers run down. Piss them off at your peril.
One of the most notable things about this election has been how strongly disliked the two main candidates were. They famously have the lowest favorability ratings of any candidates in recent history. Putting aside any corruption and favoritism from within the parties for a minute, it seems like the primary system really sets the parties up to elect poor general election candidates.

For example, take a look at the states where Clinton performed best in the primaries. They're Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, Georgia, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Texas. All of these states were decisive victories for Trump in the general election and from a perspective purely of wanting to win, it doesn't make sense for them to be so important in the primaries. At the same time, Bernie won a number of states in the primary that ended up being important swing states (e.g Michigan, Wisconsin, New Hampshire, Maine, Minnesota, Colorado). From a strategic standpoint, it would seem to make sense to attach a higher weigh to those victories (the same is also true for Florida, Ohio, and some other states where he lost).

None of this necessarily means that Bernie would have won, I just think that it seems as though the primary process is not very well designed for choosing the best general election candidates. This is even more true if you consider what a large proportion of states have closed primaries that specifically exclude independents. It seems obvious that they will be far less likely to vote along party lines in a general election but, in many states, they're given no say in the primary process. I can understand why the DNC can't just say, "sorry, but the deep south doesn't count and neither does New York or California," but opening up the primaries seems like a perfectly reasonable strategy to put forward stronger general election candidates.

I don't really have a broader point beyond that, it just seems like the parties really set themselves up to produce such, to put it gently, sub-optimal candidates.
Tough to get more votes when the entire DNC is working against you: http://observer.com/2016/07/wikileaks-proves-primary-was-rig...

Please keep in mind that many people currently living in the US may feel that they are in "very real danger", or may be soon.

We're not taking this lightly. I'm not "disgruntled", I'm concerned that my friends and family may face persecution, disenfranchisement, or even death (eg; nuclear war).

You may think that's unlikely, but please respect that it would be reasonable to estimate a nontrivial risk of catastrophe in the US.

Congratulations on your residence status.

Yes, the fundamental reason is conservation of energy. If there is not enough energy stored in the rocket's fuel to escape the gravity well, it doesn't matter whether you expend it all at once (and fail to reach escape velocity) or expend it over time as in your example. "Escaping the gravity well" from any point takes a well-defined amount of energy (which we call "gravitational potential energy") so your fuel use strategy won't help you in the end.

I suppose what you're saying is that Johnson (3%), Stein (1%) and other (0.7%) means that not everyone in the country voted for one of the two. While true, the relative difference between the two main contenders is what matters.

According to Wikipedia's chart, this is the 3rd closest popular vote elections in history.

I'm not suggesting that they weren't damaged by those incidents. 2016 data isn't in yet, but 2015 sales figures show them to be at least holding steady.

My point was that the company ultimately aggressively addressed the problem head-on and very well may have saved the company. The public has no long term memory. Let's compare notes in 2018.
Would suggest the author is conflating a diversity of workflows for a single, monotheistic view.

Professional imagers have large files, and they must post-produce them. Those things like card readers, additional ports, etc. ignore that particular audiences needs. To draw an analogy to another closely relation field in motion pictures, this too is mired in a divergence of needs and contexts. The author of the post would probably cringe at the complexity...

Making a case for XXX workflow should always be grounded in the contexts present. While a professional league sports team only makes up less than a shred of a fraction of active players, the needs of that league are not suddenly insignificant due to share.

That's a feature of specific choices about the electoral system and system for government. One'such which are not universal among modern democracies and which empirically lead to lower satisfaction with government and less effectively representative government.
Problems arise when you try to integrate too many people as a large block from disparate societies too fast.

I grew up in Miami. I lived through the Mariel boatlift. And I just don't think that's what this election was about. The democratic party has ignored blue collar workers for too long. That's what this was mostly about.
A team I work with has a similar sized dataset (started off larger but growing slower) and we have it wrapped up in an Elasticsearch database. I can't speak to it being a better tool for your uses since I don't have any experience with Hadoop but I can say that it was very easy to get set up and continues to be easy to use, so if you're worried about overhead it's worth a look.
I don't think anyone has any illusions that the US lost militarily, but it's a bit disingenuous to only look at that part of the picture. The majority of expenses were on the occupation and nation-building efforts, which are a mixed bag as far as success is concerned.
