Why don't you ask them?
Young people don't make up that large a portion of the voter base in swing states.
And it worked, and all the media outside the USA ate everything up too.

Thank you for speaking up.

> Here's this great alternative from a buddy of mine that can't do on-prem in the first place

I'm confused. Do people like this product better for other reasons, or is the issue that this isn't disclosed in the comment?
The difference though is that society is largely aware that newspaper editors have opinions and biases and act as gatekeepers and the editors themselves largely acknowledge their roles as gatekeepers. In tech we still try pretend that these companies aren't gatekeepers and the CEOs adamantly insist that they're largely neutral platforms. That's why it's hard to trust tech as an authoritative source.
The questions were all about what was happening in places like Philadelphia and Detroit -- hardly Republican strongholds.

Philadelphia successfully removed GOP observers from the tabulations rooms -- citing Covid-19 concerns -- until a higher court overruled the decision. Of course, by that time, most of the counting was complete.

I agree with your point about caching, except, i think, it is missing one important detail that makes your argument less one-sided against GraphQL.

What you described is absolutely correct, except it is only the case if we cache by query. If we cache by objects and fields, none of those issues you described become relevant, and caching by object/field (as opposed to caching by query) in general seems like a better practice imo, aside from certain very specific scenarios.

In fact, it seems like the official GraphQL docs recommend that approach as well [0].

I swear there is a very large segment of PM that believe they are some kind of "big idea" and "vision" dreamers and to get intimately familiar with the details of what they asking to be built is below them.

Those same types also believe that if only they can add enough custom fields and statuses and mandatory workflows the project will become self-managing and they can go and do whatever it is they think they do.
I don't believe that Trump is a racist. I believe that Trump is a Trumpist. I believe that he lacks the capacity to hold any real beliefs outside of his own self-interest, even twisted and depraved ones. He panders to racists, along with other segments like Evangelicals, not because he believes in their cause but because they give him what he wants: praise and power. But to think that Trumpism is about race is deeply, tragically, missing the point.

If we want to understand and get to the root of what just happened for the past 4 years, the left needs to step back and seriously reconsider its assumptions.
I'll welcome a divorce from Europe. The EU should flourish into the society it wants to be, and be free to develop its internal market as it sees fit.

An insular US, engaging primarily its geographic neighbours, and countries in the Americas will be better able to focus inward, and work to rectify the internal problems that see it on a path of decline already, while mantaining its sovereignty.

As much of a fantasy as it might be, I do hope Biden will continue the Trajectory of bilateral relations, and minimal alliances that Trump's administration has so clumsily set us on.
Globalization is demonized but it's a natural consequence of technology. It's easier than ever to work with production facilities around the world. We can't stop businesses from exploring more efficient production. But we can and should level the playing field. One contributor to the difference in wages for manufacturing employees is the lack of regulations and protections for workers in countries like China. Treaties that support trade are one way to level the playing field. TPP had a bunch of bad stuff in it too, so perhaps not a net win.
Note that Biden has already indicated that he would prefer to serve only a single term. Of course that doesn't mean he definitely won't be running in 2024, but if true then the race will be more wide open than a typical incumbent candidacy.
As jhawk28 points out this is not actually an alternative to an on premise product, so I don't get why you'd promote it in a thread that's specifically about an on premises product being EOL.

It might be an alternative to Jira Cloud, which is cool and all, but your comment is just completely misleading.
I don’t disagree with your goal but I think you ought to elaborate on your arguments.

The electoral college balances geographic diversity against raw popularity. This is just one of many ways the US government gives outsized power to vocal political minorities. Perhaps explain why you don’t like things this way?
I had a Lyft driver on a business trip in Pennsylvania recently who was a very nice fellow. He was immunocompromised, worried about COVID, and said he hated Trump's character.

And yet, he said he was voting for Trump. Why? Because Joe Biden was a pedophile whose son f~~ked underage Chinese children and took money from a Ukranian dictator to influence US policy.

He saw Biden as more amoral than Trump. I think this is a significant demographic block that's been ignored, because the media class doesn't really meet with people of these sort. He was extremely convinced, and I'm sure he really believed it. He really seemed upset about the moral quandary of voting for Trump vs. voting for a pedophile.
Different countries can have different challenges and circumstances facing them. The philosophy is framework to draft policies from, not a blueprint for how to run a community.
> Outside of a pure data context, saying that over and over again suggests that somehow people with degrees are better capable of selecting the leaders of everyone, which is an extremely elitist perspective.

If you're educated, if you're middle class, like most people here, you want a president - any politician really - to be better than you. You want people smarter than you running the country, because you understand that governing is a boring job that requires skill.

But the second job of the president is to be a role model, to be a good example. And if the president is too good, too perfect, too clean, there's a bunch of people who are going to feel alienated or inferior. And that turns into resentment and hate.

So then Trump comes along. A sexist, racist, buffoon who ignores political correctness. And for a lot of people, having him as a role model makes it easier to keep up, to compare yourself. "He says it like it is", they say. His terribleness gives them permission to be equally terrible. If the president can grab women by the pussy, they can grab women by the pussy.

I don't know if splitting the Head of State from Chief Executive would help solve it, a lot of other countries have split the role, it's not like they have to go together. But it's clear that the governing job has to be moved away from the idiotic popularity contest that is the presidential election so that we can ensure we get people capable of governing in the role.
You'll find people to say stupid stuff in support of nearly any position. Try not to let it affect your views too much.

I thought RAISE act was dead in the water insofar as things stand now.

>> How's that working out?

IMHO it's working ok. It definitely could be better. I think GPLv3 or AGPLv3 with a dual license is currently the way to go. That offers the free software folks the freedom and increases awareness of the code, and the commercial license can be negotiated on a case by case basis. The challenge is to get projects to require CLA before they grow and lose the control needed for dual licensing.
Another option which I don't see mentioned often is using formic acid to solve the volumetric capacity problem of storing hydrogen.

Compared to ammonia and methanol, formic acid is less energy dense, but due to recent advances in catalysts it has the potential for simpler and smaller systems in less demanding circumstances (heat, pressure) [1].

The only party I know of that is trying to bring this to market is Dens [2], formed out of a student group at the University of Eindhoven [3]. Their website is a bit high on the rhetoric (including trying to coin "hydrozine"), and their mockups looks like, well, mockups, but there are real technology advances behind this, for example their trial with a city bus [4] (Dutch).

Because the constitution says the states elect the president. That's how it works. In modern times this means the people of each state decide, by popular vote, how their state votes.
Yes. There is more demand for laptops than Raspberry Pis. However, there must be a fair amount of Raspberry Pi demand out there considering they flogged over 30 million boards and I don't think that was to try and make 30 million crappy laptops.
"final" press conference - just so that you're not disapointed later, but Trump is president until 20th of january, so he has some time yet to make announcements when he wants to.
Exactly — and New Coke was a response to the blind taste test stuff.

Turned out people are motivated in non obvious ways. Diet Coke tastes gross, but hardly anyone has heard of Diet Dr Pepper.
Microsoft may have services in the cloud and may be getting rid of macOS office, but they still have on premise Windows and Office.

Similarly Oracle will continue to sale on-prem DB.

Real products can make real money. If an ISP goes down, company could internally function with on-prem.

Don’t take that away for Jira. I love Confluence, but it or Sharepoint could be replaced by a file server if needed.

Jira’s not like that. There are too many things it does where it relies on being an extendable and searchable database with a custom workflow. There’s not a hack for that, it’s an essential product.

If you can’t afford to manage it being used that way then hire someone to do it.

The hidden cost of Django's unique_for_date
No: he hasn't, and that's confusing to both "the world" as well as waaay too many Americans: the election isn't until mid December, when the electoral college casts its votes. You didn't vote for the president, you voted for what your state will try to vote for in December. Unfortunately, state representatives in the presidential election are not universally required to vote along the state election result, and while rare in the past, the current administration is clearly not above bribery and criminal endeavours to get what they want, when they need it.

(Of course, if that's news to you, then you're probably not in the US right now)

Biden is PROJECTED to win the White House, because that's how US elections work. It looks for all the world that he'll win, but he might not depending on the electoral college: you don't win because the most people voted for you. That's not how elections work in the US.

And before someone goes "what are the odds": this isn't 2016 when people still pretended to honour the system. We have 4 years of established corruption, exploits, and literal criminal behaviour to draw on. Until elected by the electoral college, Biden has not won. And remember that many states merely put a monetary fine on being a faithless electors: it's not even illegal. $1000 to pick the guy who'll pay you back bigger, instead of who the state voted for? Scandalous! But also: entirely legal.
There was certainly an "anyone but Hillary" contingent, but I think you'll find by actually talking to these people that the venn diagram overlap between that circle and the "actually likes Trump's policies" circle is about 99%.

A lot of the points you mentioned are points that people who were not Left, have come to move past on the Right. The Right has changed. Trump does support free trade - if the US is not taken advantage of. Foreign wars are something everyone's tired of. Russia as a major threat is not something people take seriously, unless it's used to influence people against Trump. Etc.

Many on the right would classify the points you mentioned as "neocon" or "neoliberal," something they've always been uncomfortable with and seen as an infection of the party and had to grudgingly accept without alternative, until Trump.

Support for Trump is at a deep, emotional level for many. But certainly not in spite of his policy positions. If anything, his policy positions reinforce that emotion for most of his supporters.

The people most in need of good policy, at the price of an acceptable nonchalance regarding a president's mere presentability - minorities - made their voices heard by voting for Trump. Every single minority demographic voted in higher numbers for Trump this election over last. The only demographic to vote for him less? White men. And that made the difference.

The privileged have the benefit of being able to vote based on presentability. The rest of the population cannot afford to in the same way.
You missing a big point from 2016. Hillary lost due to social engineering hack behind that election. Social media cos were better prepared this time
Going from $0 to $2M ARR in 2 years
Well last time it happened (2012) the conservative party won the congress in April 2012 and then went on to win the presidential election in December ... the elected person was Park Geun-Hye, widely considered the worst leader in decades, and was impeached among corruption scandal four years later.

Maybe that's an argument for staggering elections even more regularly, or maybe it's just one of those coincidences pundits love to talk about, I don't know. :)
When I was complaining to a friend that our media (Australia) spends more time on US politics than our own, they showed me a map of extraterritorial US military bases.

While technically true, this isn't always the case in practice. After all, marijuana is still illegal in the eyes of the Federal Government but this has done very little to deter state-sanctioned dispensaries in more than a handful of states.
No, Biden had never won a single primary (while Bernie had multiple during this campaign alone) until SC, when most every other candidate dropped out while endorsing Biden in a span of a week or so in a (successful) attempt to deny Bernie the nomination.

And then there are things like the Iowa caucus where Mayor Pete decided to crown himself winner before one was officially declared (gee, sound familiar?) because the Iowa Dem party crapped the bed.
This is a form of collusion with which I have no problem.
Everyone knows you're here in bad faith. Try harder.

I think the point the parent reply is trying to make is not that you cannot follow good practices with REST and that you somehow magically get it with GraphQL. I think their point is that GraphQL makes it much easier for devs to follow good practices and with less resistance.
The point is you need to change hundreds of thousands of votes in order for any voter fraud to impact a presidential race. There is no evidence of anything even close to that happening in this or any recent elections.

>For me I fully support having many polling places that are easy to get to for many people in multiple locations and that on election day we should make it as easy as possible for people to vote; however I also think there should be tighter integrity checks on who is voting and on the counting of votes itself.

The first half of that goes against the policies of the Republican part and Democrats aren't going to disagree with the second half.
It's not slander when it's true, it's just reporting. 75M people thankfully see through his con man act, and override the 70 million rubes that can't see it and incorrectly assume the entire media is wrong and Trump is right rather than seeing the obvious, Trump is exactly what the media says he is. Nor is this a surprise, he's been a known con since the mid 1980's.
The US president has far more power than the UK Prime Minister, who only leads their party and requires MPs to vote for anything they want to do, as Boris Johnson discovered last year when he failed to get his plans through parliament multiple times.
I am not seeing how the request system is vulnerable. As I understand it there is a register of absentee voters, ballots are generated (sometimes with privacy sleeves/envelopes etc) and printed with barcodes that tie ballots back to a specific voter ID up until the point that information is separated for counting.

Given knowledge of how that system works and controls put around it I doubt any such vulnerabilities could exist that could be found by statistical analysis that isn't already being done...

I also think you missed the point of my last sentence which is that you could consider the actual ballot system a lot like AES or any other cryto system you might be familiar with.

Cracking the crypto system is stupidly hard because a ton of time was invested making that so.
Instead attacking the stuff -around- the crypto system is likely to prove much more fruitful. i.e social engineering, side channel attacks

In the same way the attacks I listed above elicit the desired effect (a certain candidate having an unfair advantage) but without attacking the actual ballot system itself (which is likely far too difficult).

Essentially it's a case of lower hanging fruit, you don't need voter fraud to "steal" an election.
I think Biden was well selected to be a candidate that everyone could tolerate.

But especially given his age and how much focus there has been on suggesting (perhaps falsely) that his health isn't good, a lot more weight has been given to Harris.

Harris did poorly in the primaries and I think even her supporters should be able to see why many people find her to be an extremely undesirable pick (it's not exactly the right political climate to nominate a self-described "Top Cop", and even Biden has a fairly "law and order" voting history, compared to typical for democrats).

I know people who hate trump who claimed to have voted for him or just not voted, because they believe that electing Biden/Harris would create a substantial risk of either Harris becoming president or forcing the dems to nominate Harris in the next election (and thus excluding viable candidates that actually reflect their views)... and that for all the find wrong about Trump, he's at least substantially ineffectual.
I've only tried Glyphr[0] because it's online and gbdfed because it was in my linux distro's package manager and it was small (turns out it was a bitmap editor, which was fun to try out, but now I have a .bdf file that I don't know how to use). I can't really recommend these because they are the only ones I've tried, but Glyphr is simple though it doesn't have that many features.

Then find a way to use the font, like on a website, and you'll notice any problems or ugly parts.

I think we are on the same page. From my perspective, arbitrary queries are a vector for a Denial of Service event (both intentional and accidental). This has long been one of the use cases for Stored Procedures in SQL; restrict the public interface to guard against expensive queries (large scans and sorts). Faceted Search [1] may be a counter-example but I suspect that these interfaces are implemented at least partially with Full Text Search indexes rather than purely dynamic GraphQL/SQL.

It might be a useful exercise to prototype an online shopping site using WunderGraph.

Yes, but the media and the left also said that George W Bush was terrible.

Trump was different: he really did say outrageous things, like "hell, yeah we should torture them", or saying "Mexicans are rapists", or calling McCain a loser for being captured. Or think about his dismissal of Covid. That's not propaganda. Or his self-dealing in the White House. None of these things were invented.

There's a liberal mainstream establishment in the US, which will always want to bash conservatives. Trump presented a very large target to them. They quite fairly took aim at it.
I don't trust Biden any further than I can throw him, but he is a known devil who is under scrutiny for his neoliberal legislative history. It was a smart move to veep Harris.

In a way his tough on drugs/crime history was necessary to pull in the hand-wringing boomers and fingers crossed he's flip flopped there and wants to be the cool grandpa who gets to legalize it before he croaks as his legacy or whatever.

I'm paraphrasing and streamlining several people's opinions on the matter here.
Trumps record speaks for itself when it comes to racism. Whether it’s his full page add in the nytimes condemning the Central Park five. His history of evicting people of color. His continual refusal to condemn white supremacy, or “very fine people on both sides”. He’s not a full blown white supremacist, he is willing to work with people of color when it suits him. But the idea that the media is lying about his racist tendencies is a refusal of facts. Which is a core trait of Trump, to refuse facts. That he won in a “landslide” despite losing the popular vote in 2016, he claimed today to have won the election right when it was called. Trump lies at such a high rate that you appear biased if you always correct him.
One of the important things I would be watching out is if Biden lives up to his word of removing the hurdles on family based immigration, as has been outlined in https://joebiden.com/indian-americans/

He wasn't slandered. It is an objective fact that he's racist and a person without moral compass or character.

I wonder, have you ever actually listened to him? Have you seen and heard the things he himself has been proud of? Have you seen how he ran his own businesses?
