I'm in agreement vtange. This paragraph stuck out the most to me:
"In the meantime, do everything you can to help, support, and stand up for the millions of people whose country just let them down, many of whom live in homes and communities that have just become unwelcoming or unsafe."

We live in a democracy - what about the millions of other people who feel like Trump will vocalize what they've been feeling for a long time? I'm not saying any one is right or wrong, but this article does seem to imply that there are millions of people who were just made victims by the outcome of the election. It does nothing to start a meaningful dialogue.
I think it's important that we Help, Support, and Stand Up...but not because the country let anyone down. We should do that for everyone, everyday because they are Human Beings and they deserve it. Categorizing people into groups is exactly what landed this country in this polarizing situation. We need to start treating all people decently, not just the ones we're in agreement with. Kindness is the International Currency.

If someone wanted to publish the plays and player movements in any of those games - they totally can.

What you're referring to is video broadcast rights. That's rather different. The World Chess Championship's rights on those weren't violated.

This is the equivalent of someone writing down the play-by-play in a game - and that would also be completely legal.

What are the other reasons for believing non-locality?

(I'm a fan, since the main objection I see to non-locality is that observations can't be fully explained in terms of local factors, and to me that still seems preferable to the Copenhagen interpretation that observations have a completely inexplicable component. But I don't know of any hard evidence for non-locality.)

AnimalMuppet is right.

The key is that the left's bullying aims to shut down the discussion.

The right's does not have the same objectives. It is simply for comedic value to add some flavour to an argument, and get some attention. Most of the time it is the right wanting to engage and debate, and the left refusing.

Why? Facts are facts. The definition of a fact is that is an objective, verifiable statement. Trust does not come into play because you don't need to trust anyone judgment to verify a fact. Judgment is not involved.

Whether Fox fired Megyn Kelly or not is a fact. Facebook's is judgment is not involved in verifying it.

Whether an FBI agent that examined Clinton's emails is now dead or not is a fact. Facebook's judgment is not involved in verifying this fact.

You are conflating fact checking with opinion editing. The suggestion here is not that FB should filter out any kind of objectively verifiable fact, no matter which way the fact is used. It's that perhaps FB should filter out or at least not signal boost objectively verifiably false information.

I'm curious to know how they are planning on doing this from a technical standpoint. I can understand them throttling video streaming for their own services (such as the U-Verse app), but to do it for other services?

This isn't a very credible counter; being locked in because it was cheap to get hooked is exactly how we got ourselves into our previous disasters. In fact, until open source we kind of stumbled from one into the other.

As for comparing power utilities to public cloud, I don't think the two are remotely comparable within our timeframes -- utilities are highly regulated and provide an almost entirely undifferentiated service. Public clouds are the opposite, and that's why you want to be mindful of developing your codebase to an API you pay rent for.

> And no, Secure Boot itself is not evil. I am entirely comfortable stating this as a fact, and you should be too, unless you think GPG is evil

Actually no, secure boot is evil, and comparing it to GPG is fallacious. The objection isn't to code signatures in general, but the inevitability of baked-in privileged keys inherent in its design. Calling it just an impartial mechanism is flat out naive, and the author even goes on to describe why:

> But it’s worth noting it’s no more bad or wrong than most other major ARM platforms. Apple locks down the bootloader on all iDevices, and most Android devices also ship with locked bootloaders.

While Microsoft exempts x64 hardware because they're concerned about further anti-trust action, the ARM ecosystem actually demonstrates the end result. By providing these companies the capability to lock things down, they inevitably will use it to enforce their inherent authoritarianism onto their customers. The majority of their customers will not care, accepting the age-old excuses for authoritarianism like "security". But capturing a pragmatic majority does not make something right, as apparent to anybody who struggled due to Microsoft's monopoly in its heyday.

A freedom-preserving boot verification specification is definitely possible. In such, there must be no privileged key that cannot be disabled or augmented. Microsoft's x64 requirements do fulfill this, but as a result cause the system to fall to evil maid attacks. However, evil maid attacks can be prevented by incorporating an open-to-all proof-of-work / timed-lockout scheme. The core specification must incorporate this type of non-privileging scheme as a required element, to preempt any contractual requirements like Microsoft's.
You do realize that people are falling over backwards to be polite to you. People are listening to you because out of intellectual curiosity, because they want to better understand the delusions of the alt-right.

You sound like some sort of misguided 'red pill' type person who lives in a strange parallel phantasy world where privilege doesn't exist and where racism and sexism are just words used in 'name-calling'. Your patronizing 'tough love' argument is straight out of something like Uncle Tom's Cabin. You're hiding your overt sexism behind 'rationality'. You're denouncing the anger of the less privileged but are smug and unforgiving in considering their problems. You severely lack empathy. You are truly part of the problem.

> But maybe it's time for the EU to finally stand on its own feet and take up the leadership of the free world

As a German, I don't see that happening. The EU is beginning to collapse outright (Brexit, the way Europe still treats Greece and the way Europe leaves Germany stranded with the refugees, esp. Eastern Europe) and even if the EU manages to stay together as an union, the trend to nationalism and right-wing populism is worrying:

- in France, le Pen/Front National has a non-small chance of winning the elections in 2017

- Hungary with Orban basically has a fascist in power

- the situation in Poland doesn't look much better (Kaczynski nationalist government, 100k right-wing demonstrants marched in Warsow today, https://www.zdf.de/nachrichten/heute-in-europa/videos/warsch...)

- Italy is under threat from the M5S party led by Beppe Grillo, they want to exit at least the Euro currency, and the general situation is unstable

- in Greece left-wing Tsipras is in a coalition with right-wing ANEL

- Germany has, mainly fueled by the refugee situation, seen a rise of both a nationalist party (AfD) in parliaments with people predicting 10-20% at the Bundestag elections as well as massive violence against refugees and left-wing people.

- Turkey isn't part of the EU, but I think that the situation in Turkey could explode into civil war sooner than later. Or into a Hitler-level dictatorship.

And should it come to war... well I don't believe that the EU stands a flying chance against the Russians. German tank troops practice with broomsticks instead of blank cartridges (I'm serious, https://www.welt.de/politik/deutschland/article137549045/Bun...), the new NH90 marine helicopter isn't licensed to fly over sea, and the A400M transporter jet isn't remotely useful right now.

Europe without US protection is a nightmare, and I'm afraid that at least Russia will exploit this. Especially as no country in the EU except maybe France actually has the capability or will to fight.
Many people have said the same thing before only to find themselves in a hopeless situation.
You don't need 3000 pages of legalese written by corporate lobbyists to have a trade agreement. Instead, you need to declare unilateral free trade with a single sentence:

We hereby impose no tariffs, quotas, or restrictions on
goods imported from _____.

Yes, free trade hurts some jobs at home. Yes, they may never come back. But for the vast majority, their standard of living goes up with the reduced cost of imported goods.
This is likely the current #1 use case of VR - particularly in China.
I wish we would, but we (Europe) are fragmented and each country is an easy target for the wills of the larger powers. It's easy to play each EU country against the other, not necessarily by bribes but by exploiting all the conflicting interests and the lack of a central authority. Try to do that with US states without the blessing of Washington.

And in time of danger every country becomes more egoistical, as the many recent crisis demonstrated (bonds, migrants, etc). So China and Russia will benefit of a US downsizing and Europe will get the worst of it.

The only way out would be ejecting every country not willing to really merge into a strong political union, make the United States of Europe, get back some of the other countries when they'll be willing to give away their sovereignty. Problem is: there are zero countries willing to give away their sovereignty now. National political leaders are not going to risk their authority and privileges and run for a European government which only a few of them will get into.
Peter Thiel goes 'big league', joining Trump's presidential transition team
Maybe you have the intense discipline and perfection to fail to make the mistake, but I doubt most of us on HN are devoting that much attention to our biases to completely avoid it. Most humans struggle to do this. I think it's useful to add a hedge or disclaimer.

I see this come up frequently on HN, usually not as well-worded as your response. Typically it's just "ad hominem" with the link to the logical fallacy on wikipedia.

But the source of a fact or argument is valuable information. Since humans have finite time and attention, it's useful to know why someone is making an argument.

In the end, I think these scalpers won't sell for 8x because anintendo will just pump out more product. Still, it is sad to see this happen.

Some of Trump's statements made more sense, others were more exciting, many of them were just lies, as I suspect we are about to find out.

But yes charisma is often the ability to persuade, and persuasion passes through exaggeration, bravado, and if you are completely lost, lying. Everything indicates Trump is a pathological liar (same with Hillary). But because voters got caught up in his narcissism, he "won" (again electoral college only etc.)
> The very short answer is that I'm not going to presume how others voted how they did, on either side, at least without asking them. I know that I don't subscribe to all of the views of the candidate I voted for, so I'll grant others the benefit of the doubt they didn't either. There are a lot of different issues, and people hold different positions of those issues, and prioritize the issues differently as well. There are some single-issue voters out there. I'm not. I'm not going to assume you are, either. I may not agree with the positions that someone else holds, or their prioritization of them.

Thanks you. You response is somewhat similar to what a politician would say, equivocal and indirect. Basically, you avoided my question and did not say anything meaningful unfortunately.

> I know I'm not perfect or have all of the answers. I also know that I've changed my positions on issues over the course of my life. I have hope that we can figure out what issues we have in common and work on those together. I also hope that by talking with one another we can come to agreements and be willing to change our minds.

That's why I'm asking the question and hope you would have the answer. But sadly like many others, you are not forthcoming to share but instead wanted us to talk to others for answers. Why is it so hard to share? Why can we get a straight answer to a simple question?

> At this point, the election is over. We have choices on how we move forward. My hope is that we can move forward together, and given how split the country is and how unhappy people were even with the candidates they supported, I think this is possible. I hope you do, too!

Again, not exactly the answers I was hoping for. But thank you for the positive attitude. We all need it.
They'll probably copy how T-Mobile does it.
That's the theory, but I worry that the practice could be different. Are people really that fungible? I have a feeling that if you ask a 50-year-old auto manufacturing specialist to start again (at the bottom) in a different industry and a different city, the experience would break him.
> bereft of good sense

Investing money in something that is nigh-guaranteed to have excellent returns is very good sense for anyone with the time and effort to spend on reselling the product.
Life is not nearly that simple.

First of all, there is rarely a good reason to accept unrestricted imports from another country unless that country also allows unrestricted imports from you -- and even then, it might not be a good idea.

Second, trade doesn't just "happen" -- it's not like someone shows up with a boat full of shipping containers and the port unloads it and starts selling the stuff to passers-by out of a booth in the parking lot. There are tons of safety regulations, customs laws, retail distribution agreements, etc. that need to be negotiated before it is legal to bring stuff from one country into another. That often requires coordination between governments to make sure their laws are compatible, applications get sent to the right departments and actually get processed, inspectors are hired and sent to the ports, etc.

So, before any corporate lobbying is involved or anyone even mentions copyright and IP law, a trade agreement is already extremely complex.

"Freedom of speech does not mean one is free from the consequences of speech."

Not sure this makes sense. It's like saying you are free to murder someone. But then you have to live with the consequences. Which leads the concept of freedom ad absurdum.

My point is that freedom of speech has never been unlimited. In my country it is slightly more restrictive than in the US but even the US does not have a 100% perfect freedom of speech. And that is a good(!) thing.
The Constitution is just a piece of paper. Unless individuals act on it. This is one of the biggest reasons Trump was a threat. Because of the record of his own words and behaviors.
