Actually, focusing on attacking china is a big mistake of this admin. It accelerates the decline of US hegemony as we know it. The best strategy for US is to maintain the current world order with China. Only the weaker countries "behind" US/China, e.g. India/Japan/Vietnam/Taiwan, would want the two countries to fight it out so they can benefit. And there are people in the US who believe a trade and technology war with china is easy to win, which are proven wrong.
How Does the Shutdown Relate to Me? (2013)
Seems like a lot of these problems stem from a failing education system. Teach kids critical thinking and scientific literacy and about media bias. Seems more important ever to teach kids that they shouldn't believe everything the see at face value. Easier said than done I suppose
How is the full quote any better than the summary?
A good amount of people of color remember that Joe Biden was behind the 1995 three-strikes bill that heavily penalized nuisance crime, that he was behind the 2005 bankruptcy bill that made it impossible to have student loans written off in bankruptcy, and he was vice president in 2008 when Obama let the banks off with taps on the wrist after wrecking the economy. Oh, yes, the War On Drugs, too. Lots of people with a prison sentence over some marijuana.

It's not that Trump had a track record of doing things that benefitted non-white people, it's that Biden has a sustained track record of actually causing serious harm and people have not forgotten.
The centrist left and the centrist right need to come together to create a new political party.
Oregon, Washington, Colorado, and Utah have voted by mail and sent a ballot to every registered voter for years. No signs so far that this has been abused to facilitate the sort of coordinated large scale fraud that you’re concerned about. Though there’s some evidence that it leads to closer matches between the votes of married partners compared to in-person voting, which is very concerning for for similar reasons! But spousal vote coercion is not new and by most definitions is not a form of voter fraud. I dream that someday we will be able to introduce a voting system that can ensure ballot secrecy even in these scenarios, but sadly the technology isn’t there yet. (Side note - this is why taking a picture of your ballot in a voting booth is illegal. It prevents being able to prove how you voted.)

Ballots are delivered to the legal address of each registered voter. A state election board is going to notice (and maybe call the fire marshal haha) if 1,000 people all suddenly announced that they are moving into the same house. The premise that neither the state nor the people having their legal address surreptitiously changed would notice isn’t a realistic cause for concern.
There is no way DIY diode bridge and filtering caps on a separate board could make a slightest difference here, in fact high frequency noise from the power supply could only be filtered right near the chip. But leveling up an amplifier, to a 4 times more powerful as you did, would make a significant difference in sound.
And in a globalized world, if someone has built something, that is of use for many, a few will be even more richer than in today's term, by the nature of it. It is simply not comparable to some local baker, where only a few citizen will go to on a day.

The divide between the have and have not could be stronger, though, when you dont have, maybe that is still a lot more to what you have today (e.g. medical progress), it is just not as much as the ones at the top.

And then the cycle continuous, the divide will be used to form agendas, and so on.

I think what hinders us the most in installing a proper system for globalization, that all these areas have grown for centuries and it is definitly not easy to unify and agree on something. I hope, people have answers for that. I definitly do not want a system like communist china for that, i just "escaped" one myself, even though it probably has many advantages too. :-)

"fat and muscular" still means you're fat. Carrying excess fat is indicative of having metabolic syndrome and the many issues associated with that (chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, etc).

(I'm ignoring the fact literal BMI is a poor measure and BF% should be used instead to properly account for the vast variety of body shapes and sizes which have healthy BF% but don't align with the very out-of-date BMI charts & studies.)
Regardless of media projections (and we know how accurate projections have been the last few years), it's simply not true that Biden has won.

No one has yet won. No one will have won the election until states certify their counts. It'd be nice if the counts, and recounts, were already completed. (Florida, of the "hanging chad" debacle, actually finished its count within hours in this election. Why did these less populous states move so quickly, and then slow down so much, once it became apparent who was winning? Scroll down on this page: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/11/03/us/elections/... to see the timeline in the battleground states)

No state (out of all 50) has yet certified their count, and certainly no battleground states have certified their counts. In fact, many of them have still not even finished counting the votes.

To assert otherwise, over a weekend when none of the recounts or court cases are resolved, is literally spreading misinformation that many of the same media outlets are claiming to be stopping. Instead, they're shaping the narrative and rushing to crown a victor so that it becomes a fait accompli.
Yeah, it's really weird.

My dad is an old guard conservative, and he's flabbergasted at the embrace of Trump and all these conspiracy theories and people going, "MY FREEEEDOM!!" instead of wearing a mask.
I agree the Russia thing was way overplayed (even though Russia did run a propaganda campaign, which all evidence does point to, actual American people were still voting for Trump). I don't think it really holds a candle to the batshit craziness of QAnon though.
I also don't think Trump is a racist. I think he is an opportunist, though, who was willing to say things that were borderline racist to rally his supporters.

In other words, he was willing to pander to racists for power.

Some examples include:

* Calling Haiti and African countries as "shitholes"
* Calling NBA players "very dumb", etc.
I specifically said I don't think any of this affected the outcome, but it's also about the confidence. I know many people who do belive there was some manipulation here, and I don't think it's necessary. Not just Trump-die-hards, but people who just think it looks suspicious. We could have done more to avoid those suspicions.
Absolutely not. Every society that denies individualism or prefers collectivism finds itself sooner than later in misery.
Covid-19 Patient 0: Data analysis identifies 'mother' of all SARS-CoV-2 genomes
With all of his commentary about cities like Portland, one of the Proud Boys' favorite targets, there is almost no chance he's never heard of them. And with the number of documented, public lies made by him, why would you ever take a statement like that at face value?
Where would you go? Conspiracy theories aren't unique to the us.
That's the first time I've seen Trump described as a wordsmith!

He was echoing Wallace in his usual semi-coherent manner; Wallace used the term "stand down"
It's weird that they specifically worked with Amazon to make their Luna game streaming service work as a PWA on iOS:

Muscle mass alone isn't enough. Obese people have far less aerobic headroom (lower VO2_max per kg), so viral pneumonia that decreases their lung efficiency even further is harder to survive.

There are many factors:

"Fat in the abdomen pushes up on the diaphragm, causing that large muscle, which lies below the chest cavity, to impinge on the lungs and restrict airflow."

"the blood of people with obesity has an increased tendency to clot—an especially grave risk during an infection that, when severe, independently peppers the small vessels of the lungs with clots"

"Immunity also weakens in people with obesity, in part because fat cells infiltrate the organs where immune cells are produced and stored"

"people with obesity also suffer from chronic, low-grade inflammation... Those effects may compound the runaway cytokine activity that characterizes severe COVID-19"

I just cherry-picked a simple example to make a clear illustration, but …

> running a few more algorithms on something before trying to decrypt will make it easier rather than harder to decrypt?

No, it could make it easier, harder, or about the same. The ‘harder’ case is just unlikely when the algorithms one started with were already state-of-the-art and the programmer didn't know what they were doing. It might seem tempting to think that a cryptanalyst now has to do twice the work, but what they're really doing isn't cracking multiple encryptions — they're just attacking a different encryption.
Another take is the "moderate" will always vote for their party regardless. By nominating an extremist you get out the vote of those who normally stay at home. Trump was an extreme candidate but the "moderate" Republicans stuck with him. I feel the same thing would have happened with Bernie. The "moderate" Democrat might have shaken their head a bit, but they it wasn't like they would vote for a Republican.

That's not a conspiracy theory, both in that it actually happened, and it's not even that unusual for governments to mess with foreign elections if they feel they can get away with it.
Corn has a lot of political power in the US, especially in the Senate.
I'm not saying it's a bad thing for Americans to do things for other people in a way that costs them something, even something considerable; but it is certainly strange for their government to do so by moving jobs abroad and otherwise promoting the interests of the working class of other countries as the comment I was replying to mentions.
>The above statement is indeed exemplary of Trump's racism, and is a better example than the distortions. Research has shown that illegal immigrants do not commit crimes at the same rate as the legal citizenry.

Illegal immigrants aren't a race so being anti-illegal immigrants isn't racism.

As to whether or not it's true there's evidence on both sides. Here is a good summary:

> slandered by the mainstream media as racist evil orange man

He tweeted a video of a man yelling "White Power." Now, you can say that was "an accident", but it was up for four hours!

Our president is always reachable, by definition, and he has people who watch media like a hawk, so if it was accidental, four hours for removal would make zero sense. So Trump's racism is not a fabricated media narrative, it's directly provable with verifiable evidence.
I think your message missed the point that you're replying to. Or, maybe you've accidentally added a datapoint in the direction of the argument I'm making, which is that it is elitist to believe or desire or suggest or push the notion that people with college or higher degrees are better able to determine leaders than the non-educated. I can expound on this - fundamentally ethical, not rational - argument if desired. I'd argue even that it is an anti-democratic attitude. My argument begins like this. College degrees correlate with wealth, and people without degrees are, on average, lower in the income scale than those with college degrees. 70% of American adults don't have American degrees. Therefore, if you continue down the path of associating college degrees with correct voting, not only are you classist, you're an elitist.

And you've also threw in "not politically-correct" into sexist and racist. As if, political correctness the correct approach, and it's on par with sexism and racism. That actually bothers me a lot, because sexism and racism are often actions, political correctness is speech, and speech is considered on par with action. But it bolsters the arguments that elites don't understand what the polling is saying, many Americans don't like political correctness. It skews right-wing, but there are a large number of economically left-wing people who, also, don't like political-correctness. The polls show it. And the two journalists I quoted above also reference this, and I can send some data if desired.
Latino vote is currently responsible for almost all of the house seat flips for republicans, especially in CA.
The president is the face of leadership for the country. The way they address the country and the things they say is unquestionably a huge part of the presidency.

> racial resentment scale

I didn't find methodology of this, so I looked for it. As a European, I'm appalled. This is how you define racism, really?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Racial_resentment_scale

> The racial resentment scale has been criticized for not separating racism from ideas like conservatism or individualism. Some political scientists have attributed Republicans' higher resentment scores to the fact that they typically favor less government intervention

Well that's not surprising considering the nature of the questions. Damn your notion of racism is strange, Americans.
I agree that the proximal driver is cost cutting.

But it’s largely tolerated because of the widespread cultural belief that waking up early is “character-building”. As if a late-shifted chronotype is a sign of laziness and sloth.
Starting trade wars would not be good for the us. It would just lead to more international dominance from China. At least we can be competitive in the services sector with current policy. Trade wars would just make us even less competitive. Moving away from a replaceable manufacturing economy to a high skill services economy is a good thing, and cutting off other countries would make the us worse off.
This happens to me all the time too. Sometimes it’s genuine user error (I have Firefox focused instead of an Slack or $TERM) and sometimes it’s the UI being glitchy, but each time I get a sudden moment of dread as I see the page updating in seemingly random ways.

Whoever thought hotkeys without modifier keys we’re a good thing needs to be taken back to UI/UX school and retaught the basics of predictable interfaces.
In a sea of readily-available information with no way to qualify it, people gravitate towards concepts they can understand and that fit within their ideological framework.

If we're in the Information Age, why is information literacy not as important as literacy itself?
That's not a 'service', which is the key part. There's no 'services revenue' to be had there.
TLDR; The problem is being precise enough to be accountable to real world outcomes. Which is why you need software developers (or evolvers, rather).

If you believe he failed to condemn white supremacy in the post Charlottesville press conference, then you clearly didn't watch it. That finepeople.org link has the unedited clip where he says they should be condemned totally.

His worst response on this issue was the debates where he said "sure" to whether he'd condemn white supremacy. And then he was asked about the Proud Boys which are a multi racial group with a black leader.
Francois Hollande is the one who campaigned on the fact that he wanted to be a "normal" president, as opposed to Sarkozy's taste for the spotlight.

That’s a false dichotomy.

Science doesn’t really serve humanity it’s simply a method. Drug companies very much benefit from making products that work, but viagra isn’t curing cancer. On the older side, people don’t study quasar’s because that makes some billionaire richer. It’s easy to argue the first one is less pure, but it’s also more useful to more people.

Commercial science has many issues. It’s probably a net negative for humanity that advertising is using science to sell more stuff, or gaming companies to make more addictive games. In the end science is used for all kinds of things from saving billions of lives to putting those same lives at risk.

Thinking of Science as good or bad is like thinking of Math as good or bad. It’s simply a tool used by humans doing human things, both great and terrible.

PS: As to drugs not curing diseases, that’s kind of a limitation on what drug actually are. I think Vaccines really confuse the issue in people’s minds, but that’s not the drug that’s someone’s immune system at work. Drugs can kill organisms, but they generally can’t cause permanent changes. Your body is constantly recycling material, breaking stuff down, and excreting it for a permanent change to occur they would need to cause long term physical changes even after being removed from the body. Mimic a growth hormone at the right time or kill off some cells and sure that can stick, but that’s about it.
Yes, the fact that this is happening due to demographics and not positions "evolving" is obvious. Many recognize immigration as a tool to help Leftist parties all throughout the Western world. Eventually those who have been disenfranchised and blamed for all the ills have had enough it will certainly come to violence. Reactionaries really do not have to engage in "Democracy", democracy certainly does not last forever.
As a reply to your previous comment explains, this "fact" is not a false story.

Clever of you to only link to the second interview, although it does come across as a touch disingenuous.

I think the simple answer is just that children need more sleep than adults. It’s not just about a different schedule. The National Sleep Foundation recommends[1] 9-11 hours for school-aged children and 8-10 for teenagers.

Wasn't even a year ago that I was singing Apple's praises for focussing on privacy.

I don't feel the same way any more, and I've been happier with an Android device since.
Exactly this - but this is why conservatives routinely defund education.
Thanks for finding that.

I don't think we really know what a fair CO2 tax should be since it is hard to say what are the long term societal costs of an extra ton of CO2 in the atmosphere. (Though we will likely find out in the next 50 years.)

I am not sure the amount of subsidies that are given to wind, but the rationale for the CO2 tax idea seems to come from that:

>...Crane blamed the regulators of wholesale power markets for failing to give credit to nuclear generators for the social benefits of their carbon-free output. He and other executives say that it’s unfair to not provide nuclear generators a subsidy comparable to the tax credit that wind turbine operators receive for every kilowatt-hour of electricity they produce.
it's not one single election -- it's consistent failure over multiple state elections, by large margins, all in the same direction -- which falls beyond any reasonable probability
Not necessarily. Ammonia burns to water and nitrogen, primarily. But the process is complicated, goes through many intermediate compounds and radicals, and won't have time to complete in a piston engine. The exhaust will therefore contain both some nitrogen oxides and some unreacted ammonia.

The good news is that catalytic converters to destroy NOx are established technology, and they happen to use ammonia as a reductant. This is definitely doable for ships, probably doable for heavy trucks, and a bit annoying for smaller cars.
What kinds of investments can one make to capitalize on a Biden victory? For example:

* If Biden will be weak on China, do we expect Chinese tech companies to perform well and if so, how can we get exposure to that? Some China tech ETF?

* Biden will likely support a lot of green endeavors, and so Green ETFs could be a good BUY.

* If there is a blue sweep, then there could be a massive stimulus, which would mean lots of money slushing around in the market. Maybe QQQ is a good BUY.
What is more likely is that some vote recount changes things. It is highly unlikely that an ejector will change their mind.
They usually are not bombed by the USA. Most countries sort out their own affairs in these kinds of things (witness Brazil) -- in the absence of extended disorder and open warfare.
Wow. I'm used to the idea of republican physicians, but one who'd genuinely believe in a VP plot to steal the presidency to establish socialism is... surprising and scary.

Where do you think she got the ideas? Fox? Other media outlets? Or does the sewer link into social media have an unknown source?
That has also been true of every election in the past that has been called by the media before the election has been formally certified. In a typical election, the media would call it, the loser would offer up a concession speech, and only then the winner would declare victory. Even Hillary did that back in 2016, it probably won’t happen like that in 2020 for the first time in recent history for reasons.
I'm very inclined to believe, but I personally know a couple of medical doctors who are 100% into the theories. And I imagine lots of other people also know well-educated individuals with the same beliefs.

I don't know if education is enough. People seem to decide at some point what they believe, and then back all evidence into either it supports their beliefs, or the evidence is fake.
