Not all risk is equal, and there can be no implied right to risk-free preservation of capital.

What the banks would like people to do is invest in productive capacity and consumer goods; this feeds the "virtuous circle" of employment and economic growth. Investing in businesses would have a normal, uncorrelated risk profile.

What I think people are struggling with is the prospect of big, correlated, exogenous risks like global warming and the collapse of global trade into protectionism. If that kind of thing happens the total amount of value in the economy goes down - so who bears that risk? Do we try to distribute it equally, or put it all on governments which may not be able to bear that kind of systemic collapse? Or do we let the capital-holding class protect themselves while real wages collapse and the risk falls on those least able to bear it?

Interestingly the Trump campaign was complaining about those polls and used that as a basis for their "rigged" claims. So I'd be curious how they produced their numbers internally that showed them ahead in tossup states.
If they want to come in legally and can be properly vetted for ties with Islamic terrorist groups there's no issue and they can come in legally like everyone else.

That was projected, though. It was a big issue that Clinton wasn't driving as significant African American turnout because they go 95% Democrat, whereas Hispanics were about 70% Democrat so you'd need a lot more of them to make up the difference.
I'll give a shout-out to DVTM ( http://www.brain-dump.org/projects/dvtm ) which I've been using successfully for a couple of years.

Prior to that I used tmux for a few years, and screen before that. I suppose the only compelling reason to use DVTM is that it acts like a tiling WM, so if you use one (I use XMonad http://xmonad.org ) the experience is basically the same (mod-h/mod-l to resize, mod-j/mod-k to navigate windows, mod-space to switch layout, etc.).

The main reason I switched is my preference to avoid bloat. DVTM doesn't do everything tmux and screen do, it only does window management. I use dtach ( http://dtach.sourceforge.net ) for persistence. I previously used abduco ( http://www.brain-dump.org/projects/abduco ), but it segfaulted on me a couple of times (months apart, in a non-reproducible way); haven't tried it for about a year, so it might have stabilised.

I use st ( http://st.suckless.org ) as my terminal, again to avoid bloat.

What do you guys think he is going to follow through on and the effects if he does or doesn't?

And please note that lots of people thought he could not become president and now he is. So any of these things are possible now. Do not just dismiss any of these things. They are all possible.

Abstract:

"Reaction prediction remains one of the major challenges for organic chemistry and is a prerequisite for efficient synthetic planning. It is desirable to develop algorithms that, like humans, “learn” from being exposed to examples of the application of the rules of organic chemistry. We explore the use of neural networks for predicting reaction types, using a new reaction fingerprinting method. We combine this predictor with SMARTS transformations to build a system which, given a set of reagents and reactants, predicts the likely products. We test this method on problems from a popular organic chemistry textbook."

1. The USA has the best doctors and hospitals. The marginal benefit to having better doctors and hospitals is completely dwarfed by their higher prices. Would you be willing to pay 2x to have a 5% better chance of no complications on a surgery for a rare condition? Well the USA does exactly that.

2. The USA subsidizes drug development for the rest of the world. All the R&D happens here, and the only reason so much money is spent on this R&D is because the drug companies can charge maximum price to Americans. Other countries negotiate as a block to lower prices. This is great for those countries (cheaper drugs) and the drug companies (marginally expanded markets), but it increases the fraction of money from the US going to that R&D.
I thought about it over a few hours last night and decided against it.

In the worst scenarios, it won't matter what country I'm in as long as it's still on this planet.

In the merely really-bad scenarios, people that look like me won't be the ones in trouble and I feel obliged to stay and help those that are.
The sun will rise in the east and set in the west. We will keep moving forward. We have systemic issues we need to address in the country and if they don't get addressed in this cycle it'll get worse in the next. We have major income inequality. We have an issue with tax avoidance and we have a problem with US Companies dumping workers for foreign labor. We also have a healthcare issue that needs to be solved. I doubt this Republican majority will be able to touch any of it but these are still problems and will remain so until we find a solution.

Historically speaking, war is very effective at reducing unemployment. I'm not advocating it, but others will soon.
I don't like PC Police who run around with "Bully" on their poster as a backup. It makes me cringe.
I'm not sure how this will solve the problem. You'll still get artificial lines and physical and economic barriers. They'll just be drawn between cities and rural areas instead of between countries.

The reality is that there are now three populations - one connected, educated, cosmopolitan, and international. Another made of globalisation's cast-offs, who tend to be poorly educated, rural, reactionary, and reliant almost entirely on right-wing propaganda outlets for its world view. And a third, which is an indentured working class in the emerging economies which build things for the other two, but has very limited personal and economic freedoms.

Connected people are - ironically - more similar than different the world over. Allowing for local colour, you'll hear the same conversations in Barcelona, Berlin, Berkeley, Bankgkok, and Beijing. These people often see nation states as a distraction - something that gets in the way of getting cool shit done.

The cast-offs are also more similar than different, but they still identify strongly with nation states and nationalist politics because they have no other identity they can call their own. National pride is literally the only thing that allows them to feel any agency in their lives.

The Brexit and Trump votes are Luddite machine riots, where the machine is the globalised order.

Technology can't fix this. Globalisation has to decide what it wants to do with them.

The sensible humane option is to work out some way to re-enfranchise them.

The inhumane option - historically popular, and looking more and more likely - is to cull them in a major war and hope nothing else gets broken.

It's a bigger problem than it looks. In fact we have a is a kind of reinvention of medieval feudalism, with a plutocratic nobility who can move around freely, a supportive caste of technological and financial aspirants who can move with permissions, and an indentured worker caste who can't move, and sometimes don't want to.

There is no sense in which this is a functioning, inclusive popular democracy. It has some of the trappings - popular votes, etc. But absolutely none of the substance.
I wonder how the people who dreamt up that scheme and manipulated the media into pushing Trump so they could go up against him are feeling this morning.
Genuinely, lack of confidence might be the bigger issue here. Politics won't address that.

Considering that so many of Trump's promises are infeasible, I'm wondering what Trump will actually do in office.
This strikes me as really only possible once. The main group of people that this is aimed at, holders of large amounts of cash, are unlikely to start accruing their future funds in 500 and 2000R notes and leave themselves open to this sort of action in the future. It would make sense to diversify it into Euro's, Dollars(USD or AUD), GBP or even gold or bitcoin to prevent a reocurrence. Im not saying that they should evade taxes just that if they are going to they can protect themselves against this happening again.
As a fairly young US citizen I'm curious, I thought that most health care plans have an out of pocket maximum that is usually in the low to mid thousands per year. Would this situation not be one that limits the yearly cost that way?

This is a meaningless, useless anecdote. My experience eight years ago was that conservatives were foaming at the mouth in anger when Obama won. They had literally just spent the last year calling him the antichrist and saying that he was literally not American. And today my experience on facebook is literally frowny emojis from liberals and not much else.

I live and work in Lithuania.

Lithuania - corruption index 32/168 [1]
Russia - corruption index 119/168 [2]

Regarding bureaucracy:

You do know that almost everything in Lithuania is done electronically?
I can open a company in a couple of days without leaving my house.
Same with my taxes.

And if I do need to sign something, I usually sign it with my e-signature and just send over the signed PDF.

I haven't seen much bureaucracy here in years.

Now try that in Russia.

Language-wise (another parent, but I'm too lazy to make a 2nd comment):

I speak both - Russian and Lithuanian... and while there are similarities, like next to no word order, structure, punctuation etc.
There are more differences than similarities.

Roots of most words are different.
There are more verb forms in Lithuanian [3] which slavic languages lack.
Lithuanian still preserves a fully functional future tense, unlike say slavic languages that lost the future tense (like english) and have to use a compound future tense.

Lithuanian itself feels much more archaic.

Linguistically the baltic languages are as close to slavic languages as they are close to german languages[4]

She campaigned for the electoral vote, not for the popular vote.

You can't be sure that if, instead, the popular vote were used that she would have taken a different platform that was soundly rejected by most states but secured her a much larger popular vote margin.
Not even mentioning the existential crisis we face knowing that Donald J. Trump, a man who has stated the most important thing in life is to get even, has his finger on the nuclear button and there's nothing any of us can do to stop him.

As someone who's actively vocalized his support for Trump in the past, both here[1] and in my meat space life, I'm ecstatic with the results of this election.

Not just the POTUS, but the trifecta of the house and senate as well. That's as loud of a mandate as can be expected from a strongly divided country. On top of all that, with the SCOTUS picks that are expected in the next few years, this election is going to be felt for many years to come.

I just hope that as we move forward with the transition to the new government, both sides can leave behind the incessant name calling and hate that's plagued this election. It's done, it's over, and the people have spoken. Now let's move forward on the direction that's been chosen and go about discussing it constructively.

Since the GOP now holds both Congress and the Presidency, with a likelihood of continued Supreme Court majority, they may enact some protectionist policies to appease the voters. However, these could in fact make the economic situations worse and some people would start to blame other things.

Could the backlash spill to the technology and related sectors as well (e.g. a neo-Luddite movement might get started)?

Note: I did not grow up in the US, so I would like to hear your opinions on this, especially from Americans.
So true. The "feud" with Megan Kelly made her probably the most trustworthy person on TV this season. Wether FOX's motivation was election-fallout prepping or wether it was an organic change that brought things like the Ailes ousting, they were the most "fair and balanced".

Yeah of course China is the greater polluter but I am mainly speaking of nations that don't believe in climate change and still is one of the massive polluters. China is changing rapidly to solar and there are mass demonstrations and a great physical need for them to switch. Today, there isn't really such a broad held opinion in the US or in Russia.
So, I voted for DJT (I like calling him that, for some reason). I didn't vote for him because I agreed with any of his policies (as best I can tell he never actually presented any during the course of his campaign) or because I thought he was the best representative for the people of this country. I did so for a couple of reasons:

1. I like a good underdog story. The people that support him, for a multitude of reasons, feel neglected by the ruling class in this country. Now I don't know who started all the name calling, but I personally dislike the way they're demeaned and patronized by the Democrats/Liberals as racists and deplorable. There is absolutely no respect from the left given to these people and their opinions. Yeah, there are some loud one saying some ridiculous things, but I refuse to believe that close to half the country hates people of color and wants to completely isolate us from the rest of the world by closing our borders. It just can't be true. I lived in Germany for the last year and was just stunned at how quickly the word Xenophobia was used to label anyone that disagreed with Merkel's policy regarding the refugees. If your opinions were so immediately dismissed with such a strong word, you're going to start harboring some pretty strong feelings of animosity towards those who so quickly judge.

2. I believed he was the candidate with the biggest chance of winning that would bring about the biggest amount of disruption and change. (By this account, I should have voted for Obama in 2007 instead of writing in Ron Paul. But goddamn if Ron Paul didn't seem to have the most reasonable, compassionate and "real" voice I've ever heard in politics.) This, I believe, is inline largely with why Peter Thiel was backing him. I don't know if any of that change or disruption is going to be good or bad for me or the rest of America, but things are certainly going to be interesting for the next four years. Both the Republican and Democratic parties are going to be in complete turmoil as they scramble to figure out what the hell just happened. I think we were all ready to talk about the, sort of, civil war that was about to erupt in the Republican party after this election, but we might end up talking more, initially, about the same thing happening in the Democratic party. Obviously things aren't rosy with the Republicans just because they won everything, but the Democrats really have nothing to do but try and figure out what went wrong and fix it. I, also, don't believe he can really do anything too awful that we can't recover from; I have some faith in the checks and balances laid out by the constitution that will prevent DJT, himself, from doing too much harm. Unlike the Brexit vote, a DJT presidency isn't permanent. We'll be back in four years to do it all over again.
It's just a meme. Nobody is really considering that option.
This was a refreshing read. Thanks.
I think this is a bit dismissive of the issue --and the thinking that sunk the Hillary's campaign.

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.

So rather than asking is this good for the global economy his administration might instead ask, is this good for the US economy? While the answer to the questions often overlap, at times the current answer does not optimize of the US economy.
:)

The internet has been such a nasty place today and, similarly to the day of the Paris attacks, it's been really nice to find reasonably moderate discourse on HN.

As... curious as I personally find America's choices in presidency, I'm just as ashamed of some of my follower feeds on various social media. Seriously guys, don't demonize people, especially by association. Refusing to hear your political opponents out is a sure-fire way to lose.

The author is delusional. This isn't a re-run of Bush 2000 for liberals or Obama 2008 for conservatives.

At a time of greatest institutional weakness, a demagogue with authoritarian tendencies that considers the norms of a liberal democracy to be a inconvenience and subordinate to the needs of order has just been elected on a wave of hate, lies, racism, and bigotry with the promise of locking up his political opponents and abandoning international allies and obligations.

This is potentially a game changer from which there is no return and everyone is a loser.
As you may have noticed, I pointed out myself that the polls were wrong. My point wasn't that they were right, but that the amount by which they were off contradicted claims that more than a small minority of voters were hiding their preferences from pollsters.

>No plan was made because the people in a position to make one didn't want to and assumed victory.

No plan was made by long-term Brexit supporters either. Where is Nigel Farage's plan? What useful suggestions has Boris Johnson made?

>And even if I did I would try to recognise that I share a country with such folk and have a duty to take their views into account.

We did take their views into account, as I said. The Conservative government bent over backwards to accommodate them.

The strategy you're proposing (engagement) was tried and has failed. It only had the effect of making Brexit seem more reasonable than it really was. Now we are in a position where the electorate have done something insane, and yet are in a position to demand that we take their insane views seriously.
