Here is Clinton's exact quote, taken from the Wikipedia article on the "basket of deplorables" remark[0].

"You can take Trump supporters and put them in two big baskets.
There are what I would call the deplorables—you know, the racists and the haters,
and the people who are drawn because they think somehow he's going to
restore an America that no longer exists."

Can you explain why white Trump supporters have chosen this as a banner to rally around rather than reject those elements and that ideology from their platform or their identity? Why is it wrong to deplore racism and hatred?

I think tech can be effective when its used to make on the ground activism better. It's a truism in political science that face to face politicking and door knocking wins elections. If you can improve the effectiveness of that sort of activism through technology, I don't see why it wouldn't be useful. Of course, that introduces risks as well; it would be simple to end up only talking to people who were probably going to swing towards you anyways, and ending up in yet another echo chamber.

I didn't mean in my original comment that technology is entirely useless. More that it's a distant second to the things that have always worked in politics, and that "our tech is worse than theirs" is the refuge of a losing party looking to cast blame for their losses.
A man lost 27 years of his life for something he didn't do. Just because he wasn't an upstanding citizen doesn't make that any more right.

Seriously...

Anytime someone suggests that they have a "secure" piece of software without providing caveats relating to the inherent insecurity of every modern CPU and firmware stack based on closed-source proprietary blobs that the software will undoubtedly be running on it alerts to anyone with any meaningful understanding of the complexity of security that they are at best omitting crucially important information and at worst incompetent.

Sure, the size and complexity of the Linux Kernel is a problem, but the crumbling foundation needs to be addressed before problems with the first floor.
You make that sound like a lot. It's only equivalent to like 20 pages of raw plain text in size.
Potentially, very powerful. Running docker-based pipelines, deploying on kubernetes, and having it all integrated with the merge request review workflow is really, really nice. GitHub doesn't do anything at this level at all, even with third-party integrations.

Right now, I've got several local machines hooked up to gitlab.com as runners. A mixture of virtual machines for various platforms, and docker hosts. No kubernetes yet; but likely at some point.

The main problems are that sometimes gitlab.com is flaky. Pipeline jobs fail, never get started, or never complete. Not often, but enough that I can't guarantee things will work without manual prodding. I saw quite a few instances of this a few weeks ago, but it's been OK this week. Stuff like the runner timing out pulling a docker image, the job completing but not actually finishing, or the pages job running but the deploy step getting stuck with no way to debug it.

Other things are UI annoyances, like the pipeline status not updating frequently enough, leading to repeated manual page refreshes, particularly on navigating back in the history to the pipeline page from a specific job page.

Ok but academic writing serves a purpose, it is the consequence of an intellectual effort at a level high enough for peer review and actual progress; you can even do it alone if minded and disciplined enough to bear the stress, maybe starting from conferences in your field to test waters while honing your skills. It is not a given that comes with a degree, though, so a gentle nudge is not enough.

If most news media is to be believed, Russia hacked the election.

Though what they mean by that is that Russia hacked the DNC servers and exposed illegal or quasi-illegal action by those at the top causing mass disillusionment with the DNC among those on the fence.

In addition they (russia) apparently spent less than $300,000 on facebook/social media ads. (For context, the DNC and hillary spent over 1/2 billion on ads/commercials and trump spent a little more than $300 million.)

Trump won the election because his message resonated with the voters where it mattered. Clinton won the popular vote because all the people who voted for her live in the same 4 states.

This is slowly turning into a rock in my shoe. You would think a single threaded language would implement some sort of cooperative multitasking scheme. But promises aren’t cooperative, especially in Bluebird (the queue management logic was converted to LIFO a long time ago, although that code still contained comments or variable names that imply the opposite, when last I looked).

I’m tempted to call this the legacy of Brendan “design a language in a week” Eich, but that would let too many other people off the hook.

There's a couple sizable leaps in there in particular the combination of size, payload, and autonomy for the main mini murder drones. Particularly quads/drones of that small size just don't have the payload/flight time combination to really do that, they're extremely sensitive to weight and have really short flight times that are hard to extend because more weight requires more power in kind of a mini version of the rocket equation.
> Imagine the reaction if a Michelin Star restaurant refused any serving choices at all; here's your drink and meal chosen by us; no matter how good the food is, the complaints would be deafening.

This really isn't true! Set menus are quite common at the Michelin-star end of restaurants, at least in Europe. Here's one near me [0] serving "a seasonal no choice set menu...we cannot cater for dietary choices". They do allow you to diverge from their wine pairings, but there certainly wouldn't be outrage if they didn't and you can probably find a comparable restaurant that does not offer a choice of wine.

Perhaps it wouldn't be viable in the US.

Phone calls and email? So only senior citizens will be trusted? What about texts? Are calls and apps measured using only Apple apps? What if I used 3rd party apps for these functions?

I get very few phone calls, and half of them are spam calls that I don't answer (only answer calls from known numbers). I don't use Apple Mail. So I'm untrustworthy because my social configuration isn't typical?

My ipad isn't used for calls, messaging or email. Does that mean I can't use my ipad for purchases?

Have to have ID and credit history disclosed to get a phone in the first place. Isn't that enough? Is this only for non-phone devices?

This needs more in-depth reporting. What kind of fraud exactly?

> It's not obvious to me that higher voter turnout leads to better governance.

The assumption is based on the fact that young people have low turnout, and these turnout initiatives are almost universally about getting young people who lean/are left to go vote. Most "get out the vote" drives are not really about improving our democracy and are actually about supporting Democrat politicians and their policies, which is why they target specific demographics that are likely to vote the "right way" (Samantha Bee's audience being a blatant example here of people that would vote for Democrats).

Then again, different platforms have different sets of hardware features, so sharing 100% of the code is usually not possible or desirable if you want to make the most of each platform.
Because a quadcopter is meant to be controlled remotely, while a traditional car isn't, so retrofitting it for remote control is likely time consuming and error prone (ever watch one of the mythbusters episodes where they rig up a car for RC?).

Self driving cars already have everything required to control the car built in. They just need to hijack the existing controls and hook it up to a RC system (or just tell it to drive to location using internal controls).

Would you read an article about a trial where what happened seems pretty reasonable considering the circumstances? Probably not.

So the media first figures out what the story will be (and it better be sensational or why bother), then selectively reports facts to support their story.
In this case at least, we can thank the media for the acquittal -- if you count the magazine among the media.

It's a little less dramatic than it might have been, since his artwork as the catalyst had nothing particularly to do with the case. But certainly the magazine's participation here was constructive to the right outcome.

The local news station, on the other hand, was perhaps a bit less helpful.
You can absolutely say they should have had better security, but that doesn't remove responsibility from the hackers.
Ah, I misunderstood you. I definitely agree that message and charisma are far more important than tech. Even in the case I cited, the tech just identified who to speak to, but that does no good if you don't have a friendly volunteer to convey a resonating message.

I'm not sure I follow. Do you think improving in other areas means the focus is no longer on the dev?

Yes. There are always trade-offs, especially when you're adding user-facing features as slowly as GitHub [1]. The author tags are one of very few that focus on individual developers. About the only other one I can think of is the option to curate the repositories that appear on your profile page (welcome, but took years of asking...)

That's fair, but I disagree with this:

> It shouldn't be the developer's place either.

Of course it should! It's up to the developer to create the atmosphere they envision for their game, whether that's a "wild wild west" or a heavily moderated environment. I think it's perfectly acceptable that Blizzard doesn't let you do the shit-talking you want, just like I think it's perfectly acceptable that you don't want to play the game because of it.

It's interesting that you use Valve as your example, though, because I've played a lot of Dota 2 (and DotA: Allstars before that), and that's by far the most toxic gaming community I have ever encountered, which is the biggest reason I don't still play it—otherwise, the game itself is fantastic. For someone like me who likes the gameplay but couldn't care less about the social aspect, even minor shit-talking can be draining when it happens every. single. game. So it goes the other way, too: clearly Valve doesn't care as much about players like me, so I will stop playing the game.

You have to pre-program in the compensation because it basically rotates your controls 90 degrees which isn't something a simple feedback loop can deal with. No matter how fancy the feedback system is if you swap 2 controls its not going to be stable, it'll spend the whole time chasing the problem.

i was initially excited at the idea of running steam play for windows titles but there are major issues.

- steamos locks you down to titles that are pre-approved, such as doom
-- doom still runs with a wine mouse overlay bug that causes the cursor to freeze instantly on clicks.

trying to get around the lockdown, I decided to run steam in devuan with vulkan libraries and the beta client.

- titles like borderlands 2 run fine, as they are natively supported.
- titles such as fallout new vegas still freeze before load.
- doom now freezes at 99% load and does not progress, also requires the renderapi forced parameter for Vulkan.

its also worth mentioning that Valve assumes users outside the SteamOS arena are aware they need to install vulkan. they do a good job reminding users of package dependencies on first launch, however.
