I'm not defending either candidate here. I have no skin in this game (and besides, it's all decided now anyway).

But I've never before seen a candidate -- and especially that candidate's supporters -- be so viciously attacked as Trump was in this election campaign. I know certain liberal groups think "tone policing" is fallacious but I don't agree with this and neither do half of the American voters apparently (please excuse the tired phrase).

Throughout this campaign I've seen HRC supporters lump in abstainees and third party voters with Trump supporters in a way that only reminds me of George W Bush's "with us or against us" rhetoric. I've seen HRC supporters sever ties with family members who announced they would vote for Trump. I've seen them shame and ridicule anyone saying they would do anything other than vote for HRC. I've even seen them call for boycotts of companies run by alleged Trump supporters.

It's not that Trump isn't a disagreeable character, its that he has been singled out and denounced with every imaginable slur and every single accusation levelled at him was taken at face value.

I know this is not solely the work of Clinton's campaign and that the election unfortunately coincided with the BLM movement, various Islamist attacks in the West (including the massacre in Orlando) and the peak of SJW conflicts at American universities but this was a despicable crapshoot and you know it.

Compromise.

Does no one remember when Obama was against and would not support gay marriage?

So when the 22nd amendment was passed to limit the president to two terms in 1951 that seems to have changed the dynamics considerably.
The author seems to have missed the lesson of Trump's success: You can't paint whole demographics a nasty colour with the widest brush you can find and expect them to see things your way.

I think it was a huge mistake for Trump's opponents to portray Trump voters generally as misogynistic, racist idiots. That made them close ranks.

If you were someone who was going to vote for trump out of frustration with the two-party system, or because you felt his protectionist policies would help you, or even because you felt his "make America great again" rhethoric resonated with you, you'd find yourself labeled a bigoted slimeball. What does that do to you? You don't see yourself that way, so clearly you don't deserve the mud-slinging Trump supporters are getting.

So as a Trump supporter, you find your personality being undeservedly attacked, and the attacks are much the same as Trump is receiving. Perhaps Trump is being just as unjustly misportrayed by the opposition as you are, as one of his supporters. What about the other Trump backers? Do the birthers have a point after all? The people attacking them are the same people attacking you, and they're clearly off their rocker! How deep does the rabbit hole go? Are the KKK really so bad these days, it's long time since the lynchings after all...
But he's a politician, right. So anything and everything that comes out of his mouth has a 110% likelihood of being nonsense.

If he said "I'm going to end homelessness" would you believe him?
And we can see how reliable political polling is.... In any case, it doesn't matter if >50% of people see her favorably if they don't see her favorably enough to vote for her, and if the other side sees her unfavorably enough to vote against her.

I don't think that gutter campaign would have worked against someone who the Republicans hadn't spent two decades preparing for.
Warren has little power and Stein even less. No one bothers to villify women until they get real power. Everyone was cordial to Hillary until she started pushing for health care reform in Congress as a First Lady. It's about people stepping outside of their perceived place.

I've been in front of Donato before and he's tough, but he's very smart and fair. I approve of the ruling. I think refusing to grant the injunction but leaving the door open for further proceedings was the right move. I'm not sure he had any other good options anyway as a legal matter. AirBnB can always try to appeal his decision.
Intel only supports LPDDR3 and DDR4, not the lower power variants of DDR4. Switching from low power uses a lot more battery (idle usage is especially low in LP).
He got 47.5% of the popular vote. Which is slightly lower than 47.7% for Hillary, but a long way from 50.001%.

Calling 47.5:52.5 a 1:1 ratio is rather far off it's 1:1.105.
I'm not sure your statistics support your conclusion. 21.7% equates to a huge number of developers, just not a majority.

The fact that there are about as many developers who are Linux users as there are Mac users is quite telling.
Definitely. The trades only make as money as they do because the supply of skilled tradesmen is intentionally limited by selective apprenticeships being the barrier to entry. Today, one can not become an electrician or plumber without said apprenticeship.

Increase the number of electricians or plumbers 10-fold and their wages would plummet.
I heard of it at Transport for London and Network Rail, since union pressure extends the same checks drivers get to management and other staff.

I don't know if this is current.
No, but only because that's impossible. Starting a war with Iran is well within his powers.

Given this is the UAE, I'm not sure they care about the costs. :)

For them, this is just another innovation to put the country on the map of the world as an innovative and futuristic place, and that attracts tourism; which is said to be a large part of the economy here.
Typical commute times are 30 or less. There are a few areas/jobs where that is not true, and it's a heavy cost for the people there.

I've read the above several places, but anecdotally, I live in Raleigh (technically Garner) commute 25-30 minutes to work, and have one of the longer commutes of people I work with.
Crazy to think they could both be wrong.
The argument doesn't have the same legs in the case of ISPs, on several fronts. Most of them are direct results of the fact that airbnb is a central provider of a very specific service, whereas ISPs simply provide access to a general-purpose communication network that doesn't even belong to anyone in particular.

I sat out as a Sanders supporter. I am sure I am not alone.

EDIT:

1. I viewed Sanders support of Clinton as forced/coerced, as in "We let you compete in the Democratic primary, now you owe us". EDIT 2: By agreeing to support Clinton, she adopted some of his left leaning policies (in show only though, such as not supporting fracking or the TPP).

2. Of course I voted down ballot.

EDIT 3: Getting really tired of these HN throttling limits.
Not obvious that Clinton would be better? It is certainly obvious to economists that taxing the increased economic welfare from trade and using it to help workers whose industries move is better than restricting trade. It is obvious to scientists that speeding up the movement from fossil fuels is better for managing Earth's climate than trying to bring back coal. It is obvious to criminologists that community policing is better for managing crime than stop and frisk and adversarial policing. It is obvious to sociologists that allowing gays to marry as they please increases their well-being and allowing women to control their pregnancies decreases poverty and crime. I can't find a single reason why Clinton would be worse.

I can see what you're getting at, but I'm having a hard time seeing how allowing gay marriage would cause someone's life to be ruined.
No. I think Berlin/Merkel/etc is controlled by US (soros,hillary,nsa,choose whatever you want). And the US has too much $$ for people to leave.

I just changed my caps lock key to escape. Life changing, highly recommend
In Texas; The Austin American-Statesman did. The boutique financial investment company would have (they also wanted me to wear at least a jacket and tie as a never see customer developer).
I have remote coworkers in Montana. The company flys them out every couple of months, and they get paid as much as anyone should in Seattle too.

I think there are quite a few companies which will accept remote workers, so in some sense, you can work in tech literally anywhere.
>For the economy as a whole, abstracting away imports and exports, we can only eat what we sow.

Exactly. And "we" after all is another abstraction. And "I" can eat what "you" sowed.

If corporations have record-high profits, while workers get stagnating salaries while housing prices raise, someone is going to realize what "we" entices after all.
I'm an EE. I use my mbpr when I can, which is generally when I'm developing a tool.

I do python, clojure, haskell, rust dev on my mbpr using spacemacs and VSCode. I make heavy use of the escape key, and I'll probably miss that. On windows my capslock is both escape and ctrl depending on how I use it. On my mbpr it's just ctrl until karabiner catches up with the current OSX release.

I have 16GB right now. Photoshop makes use of it, but it's gratuitous use. It worked fine on my 8GB previous mbpr too. ZBrush does just fine with it. I'd have to look again, but I don't think I've ever come close to using all my ram without running VMs.

And with docker-for-mac maturing, I don't really run many VMs anymore.

I think all the people complaining about having to "look down" at their keyboard for the touchbar are full of it. There has to be something wrong with your eyes if you have to move your head to see it. It's about an 30mm away from the edge of the screen.
> In terms of trade, the US typically like to pay it forward --it lets trade partners have a slight advantage so long as it sees a net positive (see China) presumably Trump would ask for equal benefits.

That's a weird language. It's to the best benefit of the country to just adopt unilateral free trade. No need to bargain.

Of course, politically, that's not feasible.

But there's no `benefit' that comes at a cost to the country when allowing your citizens to freely trade with other countries citizens.

If you're an unskilled and undemanded worker, you cannot simply join a political revolt in <one> nation. Every major company in the world is racing for robotic manufacturing and machine learning-applied services and products.

> Yeah, but... doesn't that suck for everybody?

Yes.

> Commuting time is wasted.

Commuting time is a reserved time, which makes it less useful because it's inflexible, but it isn't necessarily wasted. I have quite a few podcasts I listen to, and there's some I'm interested in listening to more than all but the most interesting TV shows on. I have a short commute, just 20 minutes or so each way, and I only do it three times a week, but I find myself happy to run errands after work because it gives me more time when I can listen to the shows I want, as I'm at that point where they stack up faster than I can listen to them, and that's with me aggressively culling the ones I never seem to get to because there are so many I like slightly more so I never have time for them.

Commuting can be a wasted time or you can try to use it for what it is, a block of time where you have limited options, and try to make the best of those options.
Is it really necessary to have over 16GB on a developer's machine? I know 16GB is not enough when one is into heavy data mining, but to write a code even if that requires to run several VMs? For example, I do occasional development on MacBook and 8GB is very OK.
It would be cool to combine this with a perceptual diff tool in a continuous integration setting. Then you could see when the visual display of components changes in unexpected ways.

Good reply, agree with it all. The only nitpick I would have is that America don't really have a left when compared to the European type.

Story time - I have been to Glastonbury Festival 13 times, it's my favourite place on earth. Michael Eavis who runs it is very left and has a bit of the festival that is dedicated to left politics, and the theme pretty much runs through the whole thing. I don't mind, it's his gig.

Every year until he died, Tony Benn (a very left Labour politician) would be there Sunday morning doing a discussion. This was actually a proper discussion. I'd always go along as he was there either before or after my favourite drug smuggler ever Howard Marks who wrote the book Mr Nice. Now, Tony would always engage - pretty much each time I went he'd sit with a group of people with views orthogonal to his own and discuss them. We'd not often agree but we'd shake hands and hopefully everybody learned something.

I put Tony Benn along with John Smith, and even Margaret Thatcher as people that believe in what they campaign for. Their politics were not mine, but I respect them. You do not see politicians of their type any more. They say what they feel and if they get in power they try to make it happen.

Trump will not do half of what he said, Clinton would have been the same. there is the same smell from the pair of them. If this drama and Brexit should have taught these people anything it's to keep the hell away from politics. I doubt it'll happen however.

I want to be able to integrate command line tools with the Touch Bar to (finally) teach myself vi properly (think vi cheat sheet showing current mode etc.).

Is there anyway we can have the terminal integrate closely with the Touch Bar - and more importantly programs within it inform the toolbar of their state?

Currently this looks impossible because it looks like the Touch Bar is only changed by the focused window.
You're right about food, which yo-yos like other commodities and is somewhat tied to energy.

Housing, health care, and college tuition are the great Satans of the economy for the middle and working classes. These have inflated without bound regardless of what wages or employment are doing.
A lot of anti-Islamism is not based on youtube clips, but on direct observation of what happens when Muslims take over areas and make them their own.
Education, educated IS work, and profitable, but apparently not the kind of preferred work. Just wondering aloud, how will Mr Trump satisfy the wealthy, wall street, and the fiscally conservative to do prevailing-wage infrastructure? The skilled trades were always ready and could have been doing this all along if it was valued by congress. How has anything changed?
The Future is Here
You are so brave for quitting the moment your political ideals are challenged. /s

The people that voted in trump represent about 1/5th of the population. How about sticking around and fucking participating rather than expecting a political free ride?
She called 50% of Trump's supporters racists, homophobes, etc. How is that not exactly what the quote is made out to be? If she had said "some of Trump's supporters" you'd be right.
A fetus isn't a person.

Abortion is a safe, legal medical procedure. Access to abortion is every woman's right. The SCOTUS has affirmed that the US constitution guarantees this.

"Safe for who?" For the woman, who is the person getting the procedure.
How did she steal the election, and how was her opponent, who received nearly 4 million fewer votes, one of the most well-liked candidates of all time? The data does not support your story.
You're right, I misread the question. Leveraged ETFs are better than options. However (and this is really the point I was hoping to convey) they only help you if you guess right. If you don't, they hurt more than they help. This is because, win or lose, you have to pay the interest on the leverage, and that can cost you a point or two in alpha. So you have to be able to guess right >50% of the time just to break even, and very few people are able to do that consistently.

The problem with options and futures is that they tend to be thinly traded and so you lose on the spread. The net result is the same: unless you guess right with odds better than chance, your net alpha will be negative.
its pretty cool. but as for me, i already spend 80% of my interactions talking to people i disagree with, i think i have enough of it already =)
Being white and male is pretty awesome, though, so maybe it's better not to get the rest of the human race jealous? /s

Seriously, people seem to make the mistake of assuming that because we need to change the fact that the corporate world is dominated by white men, that makes being a white man in the corporate world bad. It doesn't, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that - it's the fact that there are not enough other members of the human race represented i.e. restating the thing we need to change as a negative statement, we see what it is that is bad about the situation.
This is a pretty good summary of what needs to be done right here.
"Now let's move forward on the direction that's been chosen and go about discussing it constructively."

A few thoughts on this:

- First, roughly half (and the majority of the votes) did not agree with this direction. That isn't much of a mandate.

- Second, the party that won has repeatedly shown that they don't want to work on compromise, or follow standard procedure such as allowing a sitting President to get a hearing for a nominee for the Supreme Court.

As a person that feels that this trifecta will change the country for years to come (as you rightly point out), my hope is that the Dems do exactly to Republicans what they've done for the last 4 years - obstruct in any way possible. I'm tired of one side feeling that they have to play by the rules and the other feeling they can ignore them. And I hope that Ruth Ginsburg serves at least for the first term.
I'm in a similar boat. I'm a cancer survivor, in my early thirties, and run a technology business. Without government intervention, I can not buy health insurance.

Even if you want to remove the compassion for it, eliminating the ability obtain medical insurance is terrible for the economy. I waited for years to separate from my last employer until I was confident that I could obtain health insurance. There are a ton of risks when starting a new company and the last thing you want to think about is whether or not you can pay medical bills if something were to happen again.

Rather than working on my business, I now need to setup a meeting with the state's high-risk insurance pool to figure out whether they're finally going to eliminate the program and then compare that with the paltry list of plans left on ACA as well as what a broker can find me. To be clear, ACA has massive issues. That said, it meant that I could buy insurance, even if it wasn't the perfect insurance that I wanted.
People are saying this is about race and while I do think that's a big part of it, making it the whole story is dangerously counterproductive.

The Clinton camp basically offered nothing to working class people. Working class people of color turned out to vote for her because at least she wasn't spouting racist rhetoric but for working class whites who aren't concerned with race issues, if they're going to be equally neglected under either candidate, they may as well vote for the one who will be a brick through the window of the political establishment that has failed them. These are the voters who cost Clinton the election.
Similar thing happened to me with a much shorter move: central NJ to Philadelphia suburbs. Once I started using an address local to my job search I had no issues getting interviews. Before that was rough and the distance was only 100 miles.
Well, I'm excited by the potential of having something better than Virtualbox available for free.

I tried converting a linux vm I frequently use via vagrant just now, and it seems to work well except for network bridging: You can't bridge over wifi. Kindof a deal-breaker.

The relevant page[1] explains it thus: "Due to features of wireless protocol, level 2 bridges don’t work over Wi-Fi, and so you can’t use wireless interface of your Mac to route bridge traffic to external network – only among VMs and host."

Well, let's not forget that Hillary won the popular vote and lost the electoral college. More Americans wanted Hillary than Trump. And given all the flaws with the electoral college that are well documented (and the overwhelming majority of Americans that want to abolish the system), it's hard not to feel slighted. Especially when this happened before in 2000 and it appears it will continue to happen.
Perhaps Quantum Mechanics has an answer to that question. And if we can deeply understand our body, we perhaps have understood electricity.
On his campaign trail he talked about moving it to schedule 2 or below. And he supports medical marijuana. You should be more worried about his choice of attorney general.
In a non-argumentative tone though, that poster's point was that your ideas have been tried, are being used, and it isn't a viable solution.

There is constant attempts to attract companies out of the hubs but it just doesn't work because you can't find the correct mix of people for X location.
Indeed it is. But somehow the push to reform DMCA and repeal 1201 isn't strong enough. Why would anyone sensible (besides corrupted control freaks who designed that) not stand against this garbage?
