Why do you hate national parks

Why do you deny climate change?

Why do you support molesting women?

Why do you think black people need to be stopped and frisked?

Why do you hate gay people?

Why do you think all Muslims are bad?

Why do you think more religion in our government and schools is a good thing?

Why do you hate women's reproductive rights?

Why do you think we should actively consider using nuclear weapons?

Why do you want to allow health care providers to deny coverage to some people essentially signing their death warrant?

That's not name calling you voted for the guy and his running mate who think that way.

What the fuck? What do you have against my gay friends who just want health care? What have they ever done to you?
I upvoted (or rather, anti-downvoted) your comment because (even though it does seem you could use a better historical perspective on things) it was undoubtedly sincere and civil.

But what I feel is problematic is that Trump was painted as some kind of Hitler, which is ludicrous if you spent a few hours watching some of his rallies.

The thing about Trump is that he's better classified as a "proto-" or "quasi-fascist", rather than anything of the old school, early 20th-century sort. For exactly the reasons you describe -- Middle America in 2016 doesn't particularly have an appetite for jackboots or Nuremberg-style rallies, and most likely never will.

But blatant anti-intellectualism, incessant emotionalism, button-pushing, and finger-pointing, combined with a healthy dose of naked bigotry and not-so-subtly implied threats of violence? "You betcha". Those are the seeds of fascist and authoritarian thinking. And they are at the very heart and core of what Trump and his people are about.
Perhaps not, but it seemed like an issue even in small sized apps that I wrote.

I think that Evan and Richard are personally invested in the language and can't see it's shortcomings.
Didn't Nate Silver acknowledge that this was a tough election for his methods because of the highly unusual nature of Trump's campaign, among other things?

EDIT: found some indication of this from May of this year:

Yay.

:/
This disparity in numbers is the most salient point about this election, period.
I've had a far more elaborate idea incubating for at least 8 years... I have many mockups, some pocs and a bunch of notes if someone is interested.

There's no plans for capital extraction so there's no money...
I was also amused watching NBC (and CNN) last night. They were so desperate to keep the hope alive, constantly saying "It's not over yet! It's not over yet, too close to call", when it was obvious it was already over.
Trump has an attitude and an approach to dealing with people who disagree with him. His (public) interpersonal style rubs me very much the wrong way. I understand the temptation to want to punch him, and it's not because of his politics. Nor is it because I am a generally violent angry person. It's because Trump is (in public) a bully, and I deeply resent that style of interaction.
By the standards of the time, sure.

He doesn't seem to understand NATO though. He made every security expert shit their pants by stating he wouldn't necessarily defend NATO countries.

It makes me question his understanding of the strategic value of unconditional retaliation, which underpins MAD.

(Alternatively, he understands, but doesn't care if Europe gets stomped by Russia.)
And he was getting flack for giving Hillary only 2-1 odds. And he also indicated there was error bars that work in both candidate's favour.

IMO, if anyone was at least sorta close, it was FiveThirtyEight.
Well someone better figure out a better metaphor soon so we can move files with a couple keyboard combos...
That's why I'm happy my son is attending an urban high school.

He's part of the college track, where it's not uncommon for students to graduate and attend Ivies or other good universities.

But he also gets to interact with people across racial, religious, and socio-economic groups. So he won't freak out and be terrified to leave his insular, closed little community and experience the bigger world.
Blind faith might be enough for you but I don't buy it. The original issue was 3 years ago.
Fair, that would be way too high. I was really meaning to reference relative turnout for each candidate. That is, which party or candidate is better at actually getting their voters to do their job and vote.
> If those skills are valuable and hard to find, then it's an advantage to be able to impart those, for both a company and a country.

Sure, but as a small company we can't afford to pay someone a "graduate level" salary when the best we can they need "unskilled level" training before becoming productive at all.

I'm not speaking of a Fortune 500 company or a AAA-level VC-funded startup. We have tight profit margins yet we try to take paid interns and students (which is a net loss for us because we actually train them rather than simply abusing them as cheap labour) because that's the right thing to do.

I'm also speaking from my experience of working closely with people running similar companies (let's say up to ~10 permanent employees) in Germany.

That said, in many cases someone with 3 years of actual job experience is more productive (in the short-to-mid term) than a recent graduate with 3 years of university (with no practice). Yet the graduate will often cost you more in Germany because of inflated salary expectations (partially caused by people reading about US startups and thinking the numbers transfer 1-to-1).
You hate some repos?
It's a republican congress. They'll fall in line, or Trump will just Tweet "Representative John Doe doesn't support my TAX CUTS! SAD!" and end another career.
I assume this is related to DRM keys changing? Either way it's ridiculous.

Who exactly are you marketing yourself to? What's your target profile look like?

True, HR will not understand generalists. But CTO's will get your tech experience. CMO's will get your marketing/speaking experience.

Not if they have your computer get content to serve, perhaps based on popularity.
I fear this lesson will now dominate an entire generation of politicians.
It's always kind of sad when they people who know their field the best are being disrupted because if they could just accept the ways things are changing they could create better products than those they're disrupted with. So many "better" products die because of inability of leadership to accept this quickly enough.

Phone cameras will continue to get better. Phones will continue to have more space (You can get an iPhone with 256GB now right?). They will have more compute power. They have access to the network to do serious post-processing (does someone remember that company which did this on-demand with racks of Mac Minis?). The threats are real to their companies and products.

And yet, I bet if they took the time to understand that problem they could blow away phones because phones just aren't specialized cameras like the ones they're able to make.
When I set up a new server, I always configure ~/.bash_profile as follows:

if [ $TERM = "xterm" ]; then
( (tmux has-session -t remote && \
tmux attach-session -t remote) || \
(tmux new-session -s remote) ) && exit 0
echo "tmux failed to start"
fi
if [ $TERM = "screen" ]; then
clear
cat /etc/motd
fi

This way tmux gets executed serverside always when I login remotely (e.g. via PuTTY), so my logon session and all running programs are always protected against sudden connectivity breaks. Also I rebind Ctrl+B to Ctrl+A via ~/.tmux.conf.

Three keyboard combinations to remember for beginner: Ctrl+A C creates a new window, Ctrl+A D detaches, and Ctrl+A {digit} switches windows. I'm not a power user of tmux, just a few basic features is all I need, but they have changed my server administration habits dramatically.
Alas, "debate" on the Internet is anything but. I am happy to debate, even to see my ideas proven wrong by a person who is informed and debates with good intentions.

Instead, most of it is ill-informed, without willingness to learn, and for the last 12 months or so with a good helping of death threats, at least in my interactions.

And so, yes, we start avoiding disagreement, because the pain inflicted upon us is so intense. For better or worse, the Internet is failing miserably at fostering healthy debate. We have inadvertently created the tools that allow bullies to silence on a global level.

Or maybe it's just a regression to the mean - we've been physically disconnected from the rest of the world for most of history.
parent said data driven approach.
It directly contradicts the last line of your statement. The EC does not exist "to introduce bizarre volatility"
No I agree. Democracy is better than monarchy. But that's a super low bar to pass. Not something to be proud of. I think there are alternative systems that are even better.

Just as a start, switching to an alternative voting system would be amazing. It's been shown that systems like approval voting are a better improvement over plurality voting, then plurality voting is over monarchy (http://rangevoting.org/UniqBest.html#HugePos). And that still works in the framework of democracy. I'd ideally like to get rid of voting entirely and replace it with something like randomly sampling representatives from the population.
> In Seattle there are problems with building managers not renewing leases because, even with high/low seasons, they can make more money renting the same rooms as AirBNBs.

Do you have evidence to support this claim?
I had to go through a lot of comments in that thread to find a working workaround.

On OS X, Open /Applications/Spotify.app/Contents/MacOS/Spotify in a hex editor.

Search for "VACUUM;" Replace with "xxxxxx;"

On Windows, apparently the key "VACUUM;" string is in libcef.dll but I don't have a Windows system to see if editing it the same way provides a workaround like on OS X.

I used hexcurse from homebrew. After opening the file hit tab once to switch to the ASCII side, Control-F to search for VACUUM;, then type "x" six times to overwrite each character. Quit and save.

EDIT: fixes
I come from Scotland, and that's one of the weirdest things to get used to in other countries: that someone can just fence off a patch of wilderness, say 'that's mine' and stop anyone from going in. It feels oddly alien; I can't think of a worse way to teach respect for the countryside. If it's land that's being used for something, that's one thing. Generic wilderness? That just seems wrong.

(Scotland doesn't have trespass is the same sense that other countries have. The legal system is quite different from English law, which I believe (vaguely) is what the US system was based on.)
AWS ECS Service Discovery Solution?
Amazon EC2 Container Service (ECS) hasn't any Service Discovery or even Key/Value store integrated. That makes dynamic Service Configuration practicaly impossible without custom tools. Maybe i'm wrong but didn't found anything so far.

As Use Case imagine Micrsoservices spawn in the ECS. The need:
- knowledge about DB and other resources they suppose to use
- Sometimes additional configuration depending on case or environment
- SSL Server Sertificates/Keys

I know people provision kubernetes on top of AWS it solves issues i'm asking here... But i need
ECS+something to have it at least simmilar to k8n, but without provision to much stuff on EC2 level in best case managed by AWS self.
We have strong opinions by some people i work with. They want avoid any efforts on EC2 level or any managed services as far as possible.
Well the application doesn't require flash.
remember to tell people about the long arm of the US tax law. So many other ex-pats I know are like FBAR-whaaaa?
Another popular remap is a Karabiner option that enters Esc when Ctrl is tapped, and Ctrl when when used with another key. Rebind the Caps Lock key to Ctrl in System Preferences and you're in business.
You don't think anybody in the country honestly believes that it's like the Titanic about to sink?

I don't happen to believe that, but I believe Thiel and others honestly believe it.

I would consider the possibility that there are things you don't understand here. Trump's victory is something that should cause people to reflect. It was certainly very surprising to me. Along those lines, Hillary and Obama's remarks about giving Trump a chance were gracious and sorely needed after such a noisy election.
Sure, but the unfinished product can severely impact your life regardless of how it's going.
In our current system, yes, but should we not reach higher to say that this land is common land and that it is a resource not just for us but for all generations going forward.

When we say that all land is for sale and once owned is at the disposal of the owner in perpetuity, we rely on the good-will of the owner. In the majority of cases this is not enough.

We need to look at land ownership differently if we want to achieve real change. We have to bake in behaviour into the rules of our society. Right now we bake in land speculation and exploitation of natural resources for private good and often the public purse picks up the pollution costs later.
Or more pedantically, allow a part of the world to keep changing the same way for longer
Fortunately, you don't have to speculate about your first case in the US: the legal system has carved out exceptions to copyright against this kind of issue under the name of "Fair Use".

> I do not believe a content creator has the ethical authority

And here's the crux of our disagreement. You don't believe that the creator should have rights over their creation, perhaps because their creation came to you over a medium that allows for easy duplication.

I (and the US government, clear back to the constitutional convention) believe they should.

The rest of your argument centers on DRM; I agree that DRM is an abomination which should be abolished. It hurts both creators and consumers. But, and this is a big but, it's our own propensity to not respect the rights of the creator which has encouraged the adoption of DRM. If we were were only creating perfect copies of a creative work for the purpose backing it up, I don't think we would be here.

We don't just back it up, though, we create perfect copies and give them away or sell them for our own gain. DRM was originally conceived to stop this, and I have a hard time blaming them for going down that road when we were so blatantly breaking the law and ignoring the rights of the content creators.

We justify it with "it's just ones and zeros", or "information wants to be free", or "they would have made the content anyways"... but that's all it is, a justification. And in my opinion, that justification results in less original content.
Think you're tolerant? Try living here
> so far I think technology has made the problem worse

I think this statement is completely untrue. Compare to how people were divided around the world a hundred years ago.

Technology has gathered people together, but it also makes differences clearer to see.
This is pretty interesting. Should software that destroy someone's physical items be handled the same way as hardware destroying something physical (Samsung Note 7 for an exaggerated example).
It looks like most of it is being written to a SQLite DB, so probably not.

You can get an SD card with wifi connectivity. The cops in my last city had them in their dash cams wired up to automatically upload when they returned to the station at the end of the day.

I had a fun little workflow when I traveled where I'd have a micro SD in a SD adapter plugged into my camera. When I got to a hostel, I'd plug the micro SD into my phone connected through wifi and upload to flickr and whatnot. I felt like a cyberpunky travel journalist, it was fun.

Are there any viable alternatives to Spotify?
There are a couple good reasons. Would like you to add your input here also.

1) Trump is easier to predict than Hillary. Based on a bunch of the email leaks and leaks about the Clinton foundation, she's getting lots of money from foreign countries, which might cause her to make decisions that are bad for the United States for reasons unknown to me. Trump likes power and money. I can understand those motivations and can work with them.

2) Clinton is generally a lot more hawkish than Trump. Forgive me for being crude, but I'd rather Trump grab hundreds of p*ssies than engage in sabre rattling with Putin. She has promised to retaliate against Russia with no definitive proof that it was Russian hackers or Russian attempts to monkey with the election. Trump on the other hand wants to make friends with Putin, and he has said that North Korea is China's problem, which I think is a really good way of dealing with the situation. Especially since Russia has just debuted an ICBM called the "Satan 2", which is able to destroy either Texas or France with just one missile.

3) Trump is against illegal immigration. A lot of people tend to think of the wall as a literal proposal, instead of just a metaphor of making illegal immigration more difficult. Trump has indicated recently that he wants to restrict deportations to illegal immigrants who commit crimes in the US, which seems eminently fair to me. Hillary doesn't really have as much of an answer except for sweeping amnesties.

4) LGBT issues. Trump took a lot of flak for supporting LGBT people from the republican party. He also proposes restricting immigration and "extreme vetting" from the countries that tend to export people who believe in sharia law and stone homosexuals and rape victims. I think it's ridiculous that we're up in arms about bathrooms in North Carolina, while one of the major candidates in our party gets millions from Saudi Arabia and Qatar.

And one last point, which might count me as running down the other party.

I just don't like Clinton supporters. They're really shrill and righteous, and if you don't agree with them on everything you're automatically a racist and a bigot. It's difficult having a civil discussion with them, and I don't want to put myself in the same camp as them. Also, they're incredibly histrionic. "Trump is literally Hitler" and "I'm moving to Canada/Europe." And the best is "I can't believe half of this country is populated by xenophobic racist bigots. If you support Trump I want nothing to do with you." Last I checked, calling people names is not a good way to rally support to your cause.
Based on quick glance to the thread, somebody has pin pointed the problem to embedded SQLite database vacuum operation. That is optimizing the storage of database and maybe it is being called too often.

I occasionally find the client from the arch linux aur repos pegging a CPU core as well. bad syseng :(
This site is done separately. Your entire application, from initial contact to permanent residency or citizenship, is handled through this website, entirely through submission of electronic forms. While it's basically a form-and-image-and-pdf-and-docx-grabbing site, that's still a step or two above brochure-and-static.
Actually, the LA Times made a fairly big deal about forecasting correctly.

That is intriguing, and horrible.

Until the 12th amendment, there were no running mates. First place in the electoral college was President, and 2nd place was VP.

In the 1796 election (John Adams and Thomas Jefferson), the President and VP happened to be bitter enemies -- parties were forming -- and 8 years later that system was done away with.

As you point out, it is still possible it could happen, though less likely.

Wonder why Android doesn't have a setting to lock on LTE/4G as it does for 3G, maybe in the future when LTE is more widespread.
I can't find it on Google, but there was a famous political quote around the 1988 election: "Every time a Democrat mentions retraining, they lose another 100,000 votes."

The USA lost 2 million industrial jobs during the 1980s. It was, at the time, the worst decade for deindustrialization. The Democrats felt the answer was retraining. The Republican reply amounted to the assertion that the USA needed a strong dollar.

And the Republicans won re-election in 1988.

From this, the Democrats learned that they would be punished for mentioning retraining. So it lost ground as an idea in USA politics.
Did you want to give the gift for President..Here Some Idea
Many here will recognise the formative childhood experience of having done something forbidden and getting caught doing it by their parents where, for the first time, instead of the usual response - their getting angry - you are taken completely by surprise when they simply say "I am so disappointed in you" or similar, accompanied by some expression in the realm of abject futility.

This is one of those.

That this could have had any realistic chance of happening at all says a lot about the current state of the US populace.

I find reading any political news out of the US to be particularly distressing: the extent of the echo chamber effect is very prominent and highly persistent. Admittedly, this is part of a more general phenomenon with regard to news today, given that people can construct their own echo chambers much more readily than in any other time of history - but it seems considerably worse in the US. I'm not quite sure why.
Perhaps because the FPTP political system encourages game-theoretic strategies which unfortunately effectively optimise for polarisation and related properties..?
Is there a way to measure Spotify write activity on my Android phone?
Startup born after a year on just $4,500
Oh and you know who has adapted to all this surprisingly well? Adobe.

They not only have apps on phones that link with Creative Cloud but they've designed and released free apps which are superior to many of the social media content creation apps out there. They're able to create quality videos and images to post on any social media platform using any images in lightroom or photos (apple).

That's an excellent case of a company being ahead of the curve and actually using their knowledge to build the better products instead of being disrupted.
But to write off his rhetoric and uncertainty on the artifical stock market, phony QE-driven economy, auditing the fed, protectionism, etc. on the way to new all-time highs? Perplexing.
The same website handles actual processing of citizenship and permanent residency applications, such as form submissions, qualification questions, and so on. It runs a very light client so all of the validation is server-side. Far cry from "mostly static".
