What division? Nobody I know, in person, goes to protests or stops talking to each other because of how they vote. I literally mean nobody. No division. The most extreme is that some people I know cry when an election doesn’t go their way and then their friends make fun of them.

Division is a perception created by keyboard warriors and news that needs something to report on and the rest of us find crazy people entertaining. If you turn the news off and step away from social media the artificial insanity goes away.

I do understand some major metros have witnessed massive protests this year with large scale property destruction. From the outside looking in it looks like communities with a lack of diversity and severe economic stratification. I say that because I live in a major metro that experienced none of that insanity and this major city is either or about to be the most diverse major US city and is very healthy economically.

Last I heard, track widths were down to about 50nm (500k+ tracks per inch), but I'm not sure how wide a bit or sector within the track is.
Obama also worked with senator Byrd. Byrd was no perfect but he disavowed his relationship with the KKK. This kind of self correction and compromise is what has always held our country's politics and made it different than other's. Obama said it better:

"Listening to Senator Byrd I felt with full force all the essential contradictions of me in this new place, with its marble busts, its arcane traditions, its memories and its ghosts. I pondered the fact that, according to his own autobiography, Senator Byrd had received his first taste of leadership in his early twenties, as a member of the Raleigh County Ku Klux Klan, an association that he had long disavowed, an error he attributed—no doubt correctly—to the time and place in which he'd been raised, but which continued to surface as an issue throughout his career. I thought about how he had joined other giants of the Senate, like J. William Fulbright of Arkansas and Richard Russell of Georgia, in Southern resistance to civil rights legislation. I wondered if this would matter to the liberals who now lionized Senator Byrd for his principled opposition to the Iraq War resolution—the MoveOn.org crowd, the heirs of the political counterculture the senator had spent much of his career disdaining.

I wondered if it should matter. Senator Byrd's life—like most of ours—has been the struggle of warring impulses, a twining of darkness and light. And in that sense I realized that he really was a proper emblem for the Senate, whose rules and design reflect the grand compromise of America's founding: the bargain between Northern states and Southern states, the Senate's role as a guardian against the passions of the moment, a defender of minority rights and state sovereignty, but also a tool to protect the wealthy from the rabble, and assure slaveholders of noninterference with their peculiar institution. Stamped into the very fiber of the Senate, within its genetic code, was the same contest between power and principle that characterized America as a whole, a lasting expression of that great debate among a few brilliant, flawed men that had concluded with the creation of a form of government unique in its genius—yet blind to the whip and the chain."
All of these things are.
People have been doing "neat hacks" with nonlinear optics for a long time. None of it is remotely close to being usable as a photon-controlled photon gate.

All-optical switching (i.e. photonic computing) is like fusion power generation. It's been "right around the corner" for 20 years, yet we never seem to round the bend.

It is, however, great for physicists writing grant applications.

Summary: this is converting information from the photonic domain to the thermal domain. Heat diffuses very slowly; you won't be able to put a lot of these devices near each other and run them at usable speeds without them causing each other thermal interference.
Your clarification is several hours too late. My edit window long since expired. And this is not a "mostly tech forum."

Sorry. It's medical information. If it bothers you to know that disease can be transmitted sexually and likely was in this specific instance, I don't know what to tell you.
It isn't false at all. Byrd was a KKK member and Biden did speak at his funeral. It's in no way false or misleading.
Hmm they increased the minimum pay, but are H1-Bs still tied to an employer?

Allowing them to job hop easier would have brought salaries up to market value anyway. Guess it would have given them too much freedom?
FWIW, Luke Smith has some problematic political views (as in far right/alt-right). You do you but I personally avoid sharing/using any of his content for that reason.
i see your point
He has also casually suggested being president for more than 2 terms. I find that to be a statement in poor taste, at best. While the constitution is a living document by virtue of amendments, it stinks of aspirations for being dictator-for-life (when being spoken by a sitting president).
Also understated is that they are essentially transit points, so the bulk of bandwidth is dedicated to bigger places (more Asia-America and less in between).
Apple could be forced to allow alternative stores and browsers.

Do you support any regulations for corporations? If so, what's the difference?

Why should trillion-dollar megacorps that run our lives with little competition or escape be allowed such freedom?
Schoefield’s third law of computing. Elections need to be long, painful, effortful processes. Automating it is a bad idea. An optimal robot-slave humanity would minmax to humans’ only jobs being checking ballots and saying hello.
NYTimes gives a much better overview of who voted for whom by demographics: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/11/03/us/elections/...

Trump getting 12% of the black vote in 2020 is up from the 8% he did in in 2016. That sounds like going from really low to not as but still really low.

I don’t think Democrats would be taking so much about race and gender if Trump wasn’t dog whistling so much.
> I don't have the time or mental energy to deal with half-assed solutions anymore.

Exactly. I'd rather solve a problem in Nix then try some working, but half-baked alternative.

If only nuance were present when politicians on the left make misleading or false statements like "women (are) paid 77 cents on the dollar for doing the same work as men".

> Shouldn't choosing to raise a family account for the experience gap?

Edit: I think I misread your second paragraph. Choosing to raise a family likely does account for the existence of the experience gap, if that's what you mean; but raising a family isn't equivalent to on-the-job experience.
Nah, most of the regulations that people want is just reactionary BS to something or another, in this case, Apple is keeping a certain class of toys out of the App Store. I mean, that's not to say it isn't scummy, but scummy to the level that it ought to be illegal and Apple should be treated like I dunno, PG&E or Old Ma Bell? Not even close.
> the definition of socialism which has caused harm in Latin America is the state owning the means of production, and there is absolutely unequivocally zero support for that among Democrats

A fundamental tenet of ownership is having control of it and the proceeds from it. It's not just the name on the masthead.
Because the iPhone's purpose is to be a computer. A car's purpose is to move people. My toothbrush isn't a computer just because it has a chip in it which technically computes things.

I do agree the lines can be blurry and poorly defined.
That argument goes both ways. The iphone would be pretty lame without other people's content to gatekeep.
> I think the true evil here is the two party system, where people have no outlet to express and advance anything more nuanced than us vs them mentality. But I don’t think that will change any time soon, if ever...

I don't think that's necessarily because of the two party system. I think it's more a result of a period of extreme partisanship/polarization reflected through a two party system.

As recently as a few decades ago, you still had significant numbers of conservative Democrats and liberal Republicans in office, and I feel that helped a lot with bipartisanship. Maybe it was a mistake to get rid of stuff like congressional earmarks, which maybe took pressure off officeholders to be so ideologically strident and combative.
I do willingly opt-out of the Apple platform. However, if I lived in the US, I would be forced to buy an iPhone, because of the (you guessed it) propietary lock-in that is iMessage.

Regulation is necessary.
> "the end of the gaming console model"

How so?
Under Obama, the pandemic response team that Trump disbanded stopped SARSv1 (COVID is also known as SARSv2) from spreading out of China under essentially identical circumstances.

They also stopped Ebola from spreading, which is at least an order of magnitude worse than COVID.

That team operated internationally with the cooperation of local governments. When it was disbanded, many people warned the administration that it was leaving a huge public health gap, and that the decision would result in unchecked pandemics.

We’re lucky to have ended up with a COVID pandemic, and not something much worse.
You are a horrible person.
I wasn't aware that was done for all CEOs. You still have to consider the idea that many CEOs have to deal with an array of problems in their personal lives that other people don't have to deal with. I mention that with the caveat that the level of problems other people bring to their personal lives in order to create distractions is cultural.
> there's nothing that's going to stop climate change except the free market agreeing to pursue sustainability.

That is exactly the attitude that got us into this situation in the first place.

The free market will NEVER voluntarily choose compliance costs. The value simply isn't there.

The free market is an engine to optimise profit. That's it. All other considerations are secondary.

While there is a market niche for "ethical products", that is ultimately (and somewhat ironically) unsustainable without regulation.

If I start a business behaving ethically, using renewable energy, paying my employees and suppliers a fair wage, etc... my only hope is that I can attract a niche market that will pay a premium for that. But history has shown us that is simply not the case.

Regulation levels the playing field. Otherwise, we would still have child labour, weekend work, dangerous working conditions, etc.

As for the argument that other countries will ignore this:
1: other countries AREN'T ignoring this. The US is the one that pulled out of Paris
2: The US is the still the biggest economy in the world. If the US government imposed regulations that all business must act in a sustainable fashion (including the supply chain) the rest of the world would have to follow through.
There is no contention over how the ballots were counted. There are allegations which have been repeatedly thrown out or debunked by judges and press across the country, including those friendly to the parties making said allegations.

So I’d say that’s what you’re not understanding, though I’m puzzled as to how you could have missed it if you spent any time looking into it at all, since every reputable source has reported the rebuttals right alongside the allegations.

There is no question in this election. The margins are not close. They are not surprising. They were not even terribly unexpected. The only party alleging any of those things is the party that has repeatedly eschewed facts for 4 years and longer. The one that has repeatedly pushed useless investigations that they themselves conclude are baseless. And in fact it’s not even the whole party, it’s mostly the parts of the party working directly for the loser.

Does that help clarify your confusion?
Gridlock is a feature, not a bug. Only the most important issues to American people pass through to law, whether or not you agree on those issues, which you clearly lay out in your OP in the name of "repairing moral fabric" -- empty rhetoric.
For short term, I think these coalitions can work. But there are two problems: First, in a normal big party/small party coalition, the small party typically has a very specific agenda. For example the Green party with environment protection. So it's easy to make a combined program: The program of the big party + that special thing. With two "we do everything" parties, where each party wants to appear as "having made their mark", it's much harder to combine to a big program. And because everybody wants to leave their mark, there is a lot of fighting, so that in the next election, you can rule alone or with a small party, so you'll have more power.

Second: There will always be people not happy with the government. Maybe because they really got handed the short stick, or because they just tend to pick the short stick. That is true even if they are better off than before, just if other people are more better off, people will not be happy. These people want to vote for an opposition. Who should they vote for? They can only go to an extreme party.
Why do you think he didn't? Is it that you didn't see that interview with him, and you cannot believe he'd say such things?

Personally I listened to when he said "stand back, stand by".
A better question: what do you think happened with the Steele Dossier? A campaign funding opposition research isn't a problem. That the Dossier may or may not have lead to a legitimate intelligence case being opened against a Trump associate also isn't a problem. John McCain hand delivered it to the FBI. There is no fruit of the poisoned tree here.
>they chose to privatize themselves over the nation and their fellow countrymen.

Incorrect from their point of view. They saw him as a lesser threat to stability through his policy decisions. I know, because I asked. Further, it is hard to argue with the results when you had Democrat cities getting burnt to the ground and there being no effort put into curtailing it which philosophy of leadership would genuinely lead to a safer polis.

In fact, many of them voted that way, because they thought it was better for the country.

Demonization and dehumanization of the other side gets you either nowhere, or in an increasingly bad place. I strongly advise against it.
I don't think that's correct, there is nothing forcing you to use iMessage. Lock-in is not compulsion, you can simply stop using the product.
Destroying the open web? What are you talking about? Apple has a fantastic track record of making Safari a world class web browser for iOS. If Microsoft, Google, and others made these gaming offerings web apps, they’d likely work just fine.
If you think about it, Huawei Marine and Huawei are not that related anymore (if I remember correctly Huawei has a very minority stake left on Huawei Marine).

Yup. Visualizations that harness our brains' spatial memory and reasoning, specifically.
I don't have answer to the current system. I wish there was a way to vote for individual policies instead and the system would find the candidate that most matched.
Some of it is the need for precision. Cheap resistors, capacitors etc. can be outside stuff spec by +/- 10%. Which is fine for all kinds of applications, but audio is really sensitive to that kind of variance, so to get the one or two orders of magnitude more precise components you need for it to sound good, you pay a premium.

At least this is what I learned trying to save money by building my own modular synth stuff. You'll save some money (labour costs), but it's still gonna easily cost hundreds for a handful of components.
> This is objectively false. Nobody "supports" that position at all as a matter of policy

As a matter of policy the Trump administration's position was that making getting caught trying to enter the United States illegally as painful as possible, including family separations and the risk of losing your children.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/immigration/trump-admin-dis...

It was a literal policy. It is Trump policy. Try again.

ETA: And just to be clear, even the administration admitted it was their policy, because they later reversed it!

> That is certainly true, and the downsides of a two-party system are not small. On the other hand, multi-party systems have a tendency to build less stable governments, which was one of the reasons for the downfall of the Weimacher Republik and the rise of the NSDAP.

I'm no longer convinced that this is a good argument, given that a two-party system just gave rise to the Trump party over the past four years - and it was 'rejected' by a mere ~60,000 votes in a country of 350 million.
I lie to or hang up on pollsters every time they reach out to me. I don't trust them, and I don't know who they contract under. They often ask leading questions, regardless. If I ran into an exit pollster, I would've told them I wrote in Ross Perot.

I started doing this a couple years ago, when I was called up, and asked to take a survey. The young woman on the other end was very polite, and the questions at first seemed reasonable. The further I went into the survey, the more nakedly leading its questions became, clearly meant to support Republican talking points. I told her I was done, hung up,and since then I've only given false answers to political survey calls.

If my representative wants my opinion, they can host a town hall, or reach out to me directly. I'll send an email or call their office if there's an issue I care about.

If our politicians know nothing, and receive bad data, then they'll either cross their fingers and be more straight about their convictions, or be badly disappointed whenever they try to pander.
Certainly not the Kurds.

These sort of legal fees are a tax on every startup and entrepreneur, at the early stage when it matters most. Most of this stuff is boiler plate. They're not re-inventing the wheel for every seed financing. (I'm not saying there aren't exceptions to this.)
I thought I was asking someone who voted for Trump and had been intending to listen to your reply. I don’t really require that particular “you should talk to people” lecture, thanks.

I’m nowhere remotely close to the USA. I know very few people who are able to vote in the USA, and none of those people voted for Trump. Asking people online, as I did, is my only real option.

Anyhow, thanks for the answer. Got it; ‘murder’ of unborn theoretical children is worse than separating and losing track of actual real objectively alive, conscious, and suffering children. (Only as long as they’re brown, presumably? You don’t actually say that, but I assume that’s the intent?) And also, simply voting for a Democrat is worse, too. Got it.

I’ll be sure to keep those worse things in mind and not be at all insulted that you think I have a lot in common with that worldview.
That’s rich. One might argue that the guy arguing the government should force Apple to let him sell his service through the platform Apple invented, built and operates is the crony capitalist.

That would be nice, but I haven't found any, even in other countries. Seems this is due to national security (if someone can break down the network, it will paralyze that country). But at least an idea of exactly where they are willing to install should exist (and does exist in other countries).
