> Have you ever had explained the liberal rationale to you and did you understand it?

My Medium daily update newsletter is full of feminist, progressive, black lives matter articles. I read all of them. I read all the comments on Reddit, and on HN.

Everything is labelled as racism and misogynistic and full of vitriol. There is no priority on sound and valid argument. Its all about feelings.

Maybe I live in a filter bubble, but I would love to find a good example of a liberal having a rationale debate with a Trump supporter about political correctness, black lives matter, etc, that doesn't revolve around something being inherently "racist" or simply ad-hominem attacks. I cannot find anything like this.

I had this exact same problem with an Asus and a Lenovo while running Cinnamon. Try a different GUI and I think you'll be satisfied. Cinnamon is nice, but it still uses far more resources than most other popular Linux GUIs and doesn't run well on certain systems.

Something doesn't add up here.

Zuckerburg is a lying sack of shit. Or (here's the part were I hedge so dang doesn't scold me for not giving infinite second chances) Zuckerberg is a boob that forgot his own company published an scholarly study about their ability to manipulate people through small chances in what they're shown.

People like to think they can ignore the influence of things like advertising, propaganda and promotional freebies. But time and time again the data shows it works, just more subtly that dropping everything and running to the store for a Pepsi. Social influence of political opinion isn't hugely different.

Perhaps Zuckerburg means it's crazy that anyone let anything posted on facebook influence them. But that idea is interchangeable with the idea it's crazy people use facebook at all. Everyone at facebook is working to make a product that influences people, whether they're immediately cognizant of it or not.
> People who argue from the fringe view...

So mention this when you argue with such a person, or someone who specifically argues these points.

I did not argue that "life begins at conception". As for "a fetus is a human being":

A fetus is: "an unborn or unhatched offspring of a mammal, in particular, an unborn human more than eight weeks after conception"

Hence, a fetus is not "at conception", but at least 8 weeks later. According to Wikipedia on US law: "Viability is usually placed at about seven months (28 weeks, approx. 196 days) but may occur earlier, even at 24 weeks"; In other words, a fetus may be aborted 24-28 weeks after conception; Arguing that a fetus in this range is a human being is not a fringe view among those who look into the issue, or at least that a fetus might be a human being (it's possible that we don't know enough about human development in the womb to decide).

> It's also none of your business what other women do with their bodies

What women do to the bodies of fetuses is the issue here. A woman who murdered her unborn, viable child would be charged with muder despite it concerning "what she did with her body".

> Wishing that it was your business (or telling fantasy stories based on your fringe views)

How about you project on someone else?

> This might sound a bit like a buzz-kill, but I don't think fusion power is necessarily competitively cheap.

Buzz kill on hn is fine so long as you back up your opinions with rational arguments and / or citations rather than simply sharing more of your opinions as ersatz supporting evidence.

> I think it will be comparable to nuclear power with a ~ 10 times higher capital investment to build a fusion-plant.

This is my biggest problem when talking with people about nuclear -- the conflation of fission and fusion. Saying fusion compared to nuclear is like saying diesel compared to internal combustion engine.

> Already now solar is said to be cheaper then nuclear.

And solar means multiple things too - PVC and thermal, for starters. But who says this, and why, and [!?] where?

> But nevertheless humanity should explore fusion since it is more or less the only significant power source not (indrectly) depending on the sun.

Fission fits this bill too, but obviously is less desirable.

> As far as I can see the funding of fusion research is at about the same level as particle physics which definilty does not provide any other than philosophical progress.

There's no benefit from particle physics other than philosophical?

Goodness.
oddly enough the two financial news wires, Reuters and Bloomberg were the least bias. Cause they give sterile news about markets, their customers want to know how markets will go, not hear what they want.
I lean left, but I'm highly disgusted by extremist leftist tacticts, exemplified by the fact that the media feminists can't even take a fucking joke (e.g. Justine Sacco and Tim Hunt). When you're so far left that you see everyone as the enemy, you're no longer progressive, but regressive, oppressive.

And when people revolt, you double down. As if you wanted Trump to get his second term.

I'd argue that it wouldn't be that steep if Docker wasn't trying to do too much. There's so many moving parts - apart from regular process isolation, you've got to manage storage (which can be a pain in the ass) and firewall configuration (which is another very complicated and not well documented topic). In any non-trivial setup those two topics are already big.

Now add container management - understanding the split between images and containers, then how to publish and download images (which IMHO should be a completely separate project), how caching works so you could write a decent Dockerfile... And then there are features like Docker Swarm which I never touched and seem particularly complex to me.

It's way too many projects stuffed into one thing.
Why did this post get flagged?
this one is mind-blowing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQitEXGyLus. Seriously, watch it, it's amazing.
I bet regulatory compliance is a big chunk of the costs. Those regulations are bound to be much more strict for a fission plant that can potentially blow up and contaminate a large area compared to a fusion plant with a safe failure mode by default (the plasma just shuts down).
I assume you mean abortion in particular, but many women do want to protect the lives of the unborn. On that issue, both genders are split.

Uranium mining is a nasty business. Deuterium concentration is, by comparison, just a bunch of water-filled centrifuges. Surly that would make a large difference all on its own, no?
You can argue that a lot of people (Democrats included) didn't want to vote for Clinton either. By that argument you're justifying both candidates' character flaws by saying "Well, you know the other person is just as bad as my choice, so that makes it OK".
> Liberals shoving down their half-baked morals into everybody's throats. How condescending. So much for Egalitarianism. We are equal, just not with Trump voters. What a hypocrisy.

Mind you, never in the history of history have people fought against discrimination, corruption, and oppression by saying "but they might have a point too".
Embrace the power of "and", both can be true, except I'd quibble with disposable099 and say many of us, I would not be surprised if most, believed Trump could win.

For me, that was through a combination of his refusing to play the game by the other side's rules (a restatement of disposable099's point) and how terribly awful a politician Hillary is. In fact, I go so far as to say she's an almost total failure in life, aside from graduating from the good schools she went to, the one good decision she made in life was to accept Bill's outstanding offer of marriage, everything successful in her life after law school flows from that.

To give you a hint of that, it's pretty obvious the reason she accepted and self-exiled to Arkansas in the 1970s was that between failing the D.C. Bar Exam and being terminated with extreme prejudice from the Watergate Investigating Committee, she had completely burned her potential future career in D.C./East Coast politics. There's lots more if you want more details, but, I can close with the obvious facts that she twice reached for the highest brass ring in US politics with serious campaigns and failed both times, to rather different sorts of people (weasel words since, for example, both Obama and Trump are master level trolls).

I'm a NixOS fan, but have to use Docker at work occasionally and I have the feeling they are both difficult, but in "their" ways.
Pretty bad practices by Microsoft and sounds like that has a decent chance of costing them money in the EU.

However I think the point that having one monopoly AV decreases security because the bad guys can adapt to it is at least not as clear cut as it seems. Especially compared to the scenario of someone having multiple AV programs installed. AV programs themselves are excellent attack vectors, especially for the more skilled attackers so reducing the number has at least some theoretical benefit.
Thanks so much for this!

How Trump won
Hi masondixon!

> But look at the last 15 years of foreign policy from "statesmen". We had two wars, Obama missed seeing the rise of ISIS, Syria is a humanitarian nightmare, we had a huge financial crash, and terrorism is on the rise.

So is your argument that "statesmen" have failed to avoid crisis, therefore someone who is not a "statesman" will be able to better avoid crisis?

Would it be fair then to say that because doctors have failed to cure patients, that we should stop having doctors treat the sick? Or that because people with drivers licenses have crashed cars, that we should allow people without them to drive cars?
This article reflects our transition experience with Docker, it took us two years to finally feel comfortable (old chaps from decades of corp dev), but end result is very positive and rewarding. It is fair to say that this should be expected for any infrastructure migration, there is nothing wrong with being slow and careful as long as we are moving forward. Based on experience from our team, the problem has never been finding help/answers, problem is we were facing, one one hand, an encyclopedia of single page documentation like Dockerfile/docker run command, while practical guidances and gotchas are scattered around rest of teh Internet, blended with personal and business specific opinions. It is hard but eventually we figured the best way to work with containers from git to build server to deployment, that fits well with our productivity workflow;, as well as where to not use docker.
A stereotype is fixed and oversimplified idea of a particular thing.

An example is much, much different than that.
You literally made the best argument against your point. It was only when the GOP base got extreme, did they get a "winning candidate."
That's because there was only one valid candidate if anything they're to blame by treating him seriously.

So, capping damages at the listed value of the patent basically means that you have a standing offer to sell a perpetual non-exclusive license to any one for any reason. This means that for anything truly valuable (say, medicine), the value would probably have to be assessed in the several billions. Medicine can take tens of years to commercialise, so we've just raised the cost of developing new medicine substantially.

So, rather, it would probably discourage patenting these things (in favour of keeping them deeply confidential) until their value has actually been proven, which goes against the purpose of the patent system in the first place, to encourage the disclosure of inventions in exchange for a monopoly on exploiting it.

> The problem with liability being < assessed values is then what's the incentive to work for a licensing deal?

Wut ? “assessed value” ≠ “licence fee” ! The value of Windows for Microsoft is not the same thing that the value of one licence of Windows for your company ...

The proposed mecanism would just prevent Intellectual Vulture & co to gather a lot of worthless patents and then claim millions un court for patent infrigment.
I've never had to compare to to any other, but I'd say "fairly portable", especially since it comes with a stroller that can go in the car's trunk: https://urbinibaby.com/product/omni-plus/

We've done two plane trips with her so far, and obviously the car seat has come with every time, and it's worked out very well.

I'm not sure whether the car seat is heavy or not - just earlier, I was discussing laptop weight with someone, and I definitely don't mind carrying heavy things - so I honestly don't know if I'd call it heavy or not. It feels fine to me, and if I had to take her somewhere in a car without the stroller, it would be annoying, but much less annoying than owning a car in the city :P
My parents came to this country without speaking any English, my mother and I learned English together watching Mr. Rodgers, so I'm fully aware of the difficulties such circumstances present. I have a tremendous amount of respect for Mexican American immigrants and the amount of hardship they go through. I live in an area of LA county that's around 92% Hispanic, speaking from my experience here, I would argue that they aren't doing "just fine". The community in which I now live suffers from many of the same problems I witnessed among poor rural whites, namely domestic violence, drug/alcohol abuse, crime and gang violence, and a lack of educational achievement.

Your last comment seems needlessly cruel to me. I had a friend in Texas who's parents were drug addicts. His dad was killed in a car accident and sometime later his mom got a boyfriend who proceeded to rape him on a weekly basis from the time he was seven to around the time he was twelve and put into foster care. He ended up bouncing around foster homes, getting deeply involved in drugs until he finally enlisted in the Army, and after a few deployments and a stint at community college he eventually graduated college and is now a geologist.

I'm extremely proud and humbled by his accomplishments, but to be honest, if he had simply turned into a meth head and died under an overpass, I can't say I would be begrudge him considering the circumstances of his youth.

Don’t Burn Out: One Founder on How He’s Battling Depression
My experience (I managed a team of Chinese based devs for about a year) was that:

a) people are indeed leaving. thats cause the main selling point (at least at that consulting company was indeed price), so there was 0 commitment to employees from the employers side, so it's normal that the employees have the same and leave immediately when they get something they consider just slightly better offer.

b) trying to "adjust" the agreemtents to their benefit. A use case example is that the chinese org puts their better candidates as named engineers on their offer. Once the project is signed they start to swap them out under whatever bullshit. (Oh, we're very sorry, we have to swap John Holmes for Ron Jemery, etc.) On that point I woudln't be surprised if some of these people only existed on CVs and were totally fabricated resources simply used to try to win projects.

c) the need for constant supervision and very precise instrumentation. If you gave these chinese engineers a brick and said "see this brick here. it's nice, but I'd like you find out how to improve it somehow. Maybe make it more durable, cheaper to manufacture etc." Two weeks later the chinese engs will get back to you and ask, "what do we need to do?"
However if you give them the blueprints for a brick factory and tell them to build you the factory and 1 million such bricks, that's a task they can do.
Voters Backed Donald Trump Because He ‘Just Got It,’ Says Investor Peter Thiel
You say to grow up but in the following sentence you lob a totally unnecessary insult, shifting blame as if there is none to fall on those who supported the Clinton campaign.

You say Trump won the election but lost the popular vote; ok I'll give you that (ignoring for a moment the culture of criminality of the Clinton campaign and the possibility for election fraud ) but the margin of that popular vote is only by a 0.2 to 0.7% lead [0]. Hardly more than 50% if even.

Regardless, if I'm not mistaken, the popular vote doesn't determine who becomes President so this argument is flawed because if popular vote did determine who became President then the Trump campaign could very well have optimized their campaign to win said popular vote; requiring a different strategy but one that could very well have been successful just as they were at winning the battleground states as they did, and as so few predicted.

You say that half the country finds him personally repulsive. Why is that? I just laid out some facts about the media collusion and attempts to smear and disrupt his character and campaign. Why is your angst not directed at the sell-out mainstream media for helping to coordinate the propaganda which is now so deeply rooted in people's opinions towards the now President to be?

Finally, maybe it would be better to give the new President a chance to implement his promises before judging him on that regard. Maybe he is not like any other politician, after all he's the only President to ever take office who has no prior position in politics or military.

Can we just also add to what you said that...you know, Hilary Clinton actually won the most votes? She just didn't win them in the right areas that send the critical number of representatives to the electoral college to (not) debate and vote on who should be president.

Totally accurate IMO as I have relatives from the midwest but I can't imagine them reading this type of stuff, let alone agreeing with this. I have this hope the federal government will increase the power of states to have much more autonomy in their own laws so the ones pulling their own weight can do so unencumered. Let the other ones be better or worse off on their own accord and see where people move to as things get more extreme. Maybe that's a nice idea for a simulation.

I feel like the perfect compromise would be to separate the definition and engine/UI components and allow some interoperability between the two. So if I want to, I can use Kaspersky/McAfee's definitions (probably on some kind of paid subscription), but the engine/UI is Defender, so no bloatware or nag screens. Conversely, if I want to, I can install Kaspersky for whatever extra bits they do, but still fetch the latest definitions from Microsoft.
