It passed in a totally gutted manner because it makes far less sense without a public option to balance the mandate.

My point isn’t oBAmaCaRE bAd. It’s that every single senatorial race counts, even after 51/60.
Most of the country is not divided at all. There are differences of opinion sure, but not some kind of epic division. The media likes to focus on the extremes because they make the most noise and say the craziest things.

Democrat representatives recently voiced an analysis that the crazy extreme minority of the party cost them seats in the House because the majority of voters don't want extremes or crazy.
Then why did Trump cut legal immigration in half?

A few states have been all mail-in for years. 10s of millions of votes were cast by mail in 2016 and 2018. There were certainly more this year, but only like 4-5x.

(It helps that the most populous state is mostly mail-in).

HN is throttling me, so here's some more info:

https://www.ncsl.org/research/elections-and-campaigns/absent... and https://electproject.github.io/Early-Vote-2020G/index.html have most of the info you want.

CO, DC, HI, OR, UT, and WA are vote by mail for all elections. CA was sort of doing VBM in 2016, but it's more committed to it now. This year, NJ, VT, and NV were also vote by mail as one time things. So in prior years there were more than 30 million mail ballots, and AZ, CA, CO, FL, MI, OH, OR, and WA had more than a million mail votes cast (though some of those were likely classified as absentee in MI and OH).
And given the rival hegemony is the Chinese I think I prefer the US one. The CCP is not so hot on the democracy and human rights stuff.
How would we know? But ultimately it doesn’t matter. This is the first election with near universal mail-in ballots, so no prior election would have had the coverage necessary to make this data useful. Secondly, just because it hasn’t been done yet doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future. The point is to proactively prevent possible election manipulation, not merely react to demonstrated problems.

Doesn't mean much to me. We, the public (including people like Biden, and allies of USA) were deceived by the Bush government and its lackeys (Cheney, Rumsfeld, etc) concerning WMDs in Iraq. That not only deceived the American public; the deception included Congress as well. My government (The Netherlands) got lied to as well about WMDs. We ended up with our right-wing government supporting the war in Iraq politically, but not military. I remember protesting against this war, on the streets in Amsterdam. Something I hardly ever did in my life, btw.

For reference, see the movie Vice (2018) which is basically a third party account on Dick Cheney's biography. Scooter Libby, who got sentenced due to Plamegate due to leaking Plame's name while she was an active CIA asset on foreign ground (a retaliation move), as well. He got his sentence commuted by Bush and got fully pardoned by Trump. Why? I don't believe there's a valid justification. Nepotism 101.

Btw, while Obama did a fair amount of drone strikes, was vigilant on leaks, and probably knew all about NSA's ops before Snowden leaked, he did inherit a mess from Bush. After Obama, Trump did an ample amount of drone strikes (tho we need to put both into context as drone strikes are a new technology), and while Trump did not start a war in the traditional sense he escalated enough foreign relations including NATO and other treaties like WTO, Middle East (ISIS being partly a mess USA made with Iraq invasion), China (trade conflict), Iran (killing of Suleimani). Trump was a nationalist, and an egocentric one at that, who did not follow conventional scientific consensus on e.g. climate change. I'm all for freedom and opinion, but denying an important truth which is going to affect all of humanity if we don't act Soon (tm), is dangerous. Especially for people like me who live under the sea level (Amsterdam, The Netherlands). I'm so utterly relieved that Trump is gone. Senate isn't decided yet AFAIK, but I am not anti Republican by definition, and I believe dialogue is the way forward. Dialogue based on rationalization, facts, and science though; ie. not lies, denial, deception.
You could also point out that he has abandoned the kurds in Syria (Rojava), where they are losing ground against the turkish army and their jihadist mercenaries. They are about to ethnically cleanse the region, with dramatic consequences for the autonomous zone that has developed a seemingly fair democracy.

The military branch of the PYD party was crucial during the fight against ISIS.

Yes, but that’s talking to the original point I thought you were attempting to refute. I think there’s a lot of case to be made that globalization is a net negative for US workers, but the point being made was that it may also be a net positive for non-US workers. I (perhaps wrongly) assumed your comments about exporting pollution etc. was that it was a net negative in the non-US as well

The media is the message.

A referendum, sortition or representative process elected by one method or another... they'll often yield pretty different vote counts. Democratically, we think of these mechanisms as ways of discovering the "will of the people." Really, they are decision making mechanisms.

well the question is to what degree those interactions can actually be described as markets. Herbert Simon's made an observation in the 90s

"Suppose that [“a mythical visitor from Mars”] approaches the Earth from space, equipped with a telescope that revels social structures. The firms reveal themselves, say, as solid green areas with faint interior contours marking out divisions and departments. Market transactions show as red lines connecting firms, forming a network in the spaces between them. Within firms (and perhaps even between them) the approaching visitor also sees pale blue lines, the lines of authority connecting bosses with various levels of workers. As our visitors looked more carefully at the scene beneath, it might see one of the green masses divide, as a firm divested itself of one of its divisions. Or it might see one green object gobble up another. At this distance, the departing golden parachutes would probably not be visible.

No matter whether our visitor approached the United States or the Soviet Union, urban China or the European Community, the greater part of the space below it would be within green areas, for almost all of the inhabitants would be employees, hence inside the firm boundaries. Organizations would be the dominant feature of the landscape. A message sent back home, describing the scene, would speak of “large green areas interconnected by red lines.” It would not likely speak of “a network of red lines connecting green spots."

And this has only accelerated in the last few decades. Walmart in a sense is the largest communist experiment in the United States.
Indeed.

He was completely incompetent in everything he tried to do. Imagine how bad it would be, if he was actually competent. There is a good chance someone exactly like him can come along in the future, except more competent - that is scary to think about
So, assume Trump had a huge lockdown and put military on the streets, trashing the economy, running roughshod over the states, and playing into every narrative about being a totalitarian. Then what? We know from countries in Europe tha tried lockdowns that Covid would just be back in full force by the time of the election. It'd make him look both dictatorial and ineffective, a self-proclamed germophobe that tried to send an army to fight a virus and lost, a paper tiger.

An interesting point, however direct "eval" is a special case.

It's already known that functions containing direct "eval" are not subject to the same level of performance optimisations as other functions. There is no way to obscure the call to direct "eval" itself; the compiler knows clearly whether it occurs.

Without "eval" appearing syntactically inside a function's scope, there is no dynamic access to "let" variables, and there's no need for the JIT code to check the assumption at run time.

Despite no other assignments, the "let" variable does change value: It has the assigned value after the "let", and the "temporal dead zone" value before it in the same scope. However "const" also has this property so it's not obvious why there would be a speed difference.
> No countries have performed particularly well, despite trying everything from strict lockdowns to no response at all.

South Korea, Vietnam, Australia, Taiwan and New Zealand would seem to be examples countries that have minimises deaths.
The easiest path for you would be to get a job as a tech in a neuroscience lab. Virtually every lab needs motivated help, and while those jobs may not pay super well, you can learn a LOT and get powerful rec. letters from well known scientists. Those should matter in the application process, especially as we've seen a trend of deemphasizing grades and GRE's (many schools don't even take GREs anymore).

I was very lucky, but also had already received a BE and an MS, then worked for two years in industry before applying to PhD programs.

Oh, I agree. That's what I wanted to suggest with more polling places.

Another way would be to hold elections on a Sunday instead of the middle of the week. There seem to be a number of fairly simple ways to improve on the way US voting works, and it's baffling that none of them are implemented.

It appears that we will go from "chaotic and ineffectual" to just ineffectual. Assuming that Republicans maintain control of the Senate, he can suggest all the leftist ideas he wants, but nothing will get done.

What concerns me is that just as Trump's election encouraged the proliferation of racism, Biden's election will encourage the proliferation of cancel/woke culture, which will lead to even more division than we have under Trump.
> We're building a world where "think for yourself" means "defer your thinking to Trusted Sources™", which is not a world that I support.

"defer your thinking to Trusted Sources" is the world we're coming from. Our incoherent polarization is a result of the traditional authorities having been routed around (and then leaning into their own demise). We've apparently got an awfully long road ahead of us to get to a world where everyone is actually thinking for themselves, as demonstrated by how readily blatant lies spread when they're politically and personally comforting.

> I'm convinced a factor in opiates getting a toehold in these areas was due to people going on disability to try to stay economically afloat, and getting prescribed painkillers as cover for faked injuries or in recovery for real but unneccessary surgeries (I have no proof, just anecdata).

IME it's less about disability fraud and more about treatment of the physical injuries sustained from blue-collar work. Those faking it are the ones with enough foresight to sell their pills to others.

But you are otherwise right from what I've seen; the opiates are addictive, the demands of the job do not lessen (they only increase) and the rest writes itself.
Please note that I didn’t make a value judgement of the chaos. I simply observed it.

Edit: I suppose chaos could have a negative connotation. I used the term in the sense GP used it, i.e. chaos engineering.

As for the inference that because I don’t agree with you I am a communist then I am a Communist, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are just having a bad day.

The language is huge though and getting bigger (which I don’t enjoy).

The important question is when does it end, the economists that promoted globalization have come forward and admitted that it hurt the US more than planned.

Does it only end when the US population is in the state that the poor Chinese, et al. farmers were in before we accepted this globalism?

At some point we have to stop and say, "OK, we gave you a leg up now let's spend a few decades and rebuild our own country". This is not what is proposed by Democrat politicians, they propose we continue to transfer wealth (in many forms) to other countries and fill the income gap that is produced with social welfare programs.
Could you elaborate on this "flaw?"
>Also, why is US hegemony a good thing?

Maybe if you live in US you can afford to not care, but I live in a weak, poor, corrupted country. For us it's either US, Russia (now) or China (in the long run) and I prefer US after all.

COVID-19 presented a pat situation, so to speak, for Trump administration. No good moves whichever way to go. Imposing quarantine measures would be going against the very much support base, who not only oppose it, they subverted this into a principle point of distinction synonymous to freedom.

Approving a more substantial aid to people and businesses would go along the lines of "entitlements".

Both of such choices would also align Trump's administration, and by extension the Republicans, with the opposition - something made unthinkable in the current climate.

If anything, COVID-19 underscored more the perhaps cliche saying that "Divided we fall". The strategies that play into devisiveness can only provide a situational advantage; for lasting changes there needs to be unity.

It's a herculean task to unite a nation in the current state of polarisation.

Perhaps people could stand back for a moment and ask themselves what or who is it there that makes people so intolerably polarised; is there a vision that could move the nation forward, define challenges that call for such a united power to overcome them?

I second that US policy in American continent has been very infective that still hundreds of thousands migrate to US because their countries hasnt been developed. Let's take aside Civil war in Guatemala, Salvador and Nicaragua. Migrants flood because their local governments can't produce jobs not guarantee basic safety. US trains armies and send equipment through the PPP plan which got not results. Trump idea was to stop migration and the delegation of responsability back which results in basic jobs available for americans, force those countries to develop and at the end you can help them with investment in infrastructure with private money no government tax payer money.
Is it possible that the projections themselves affected the outcome? If people saw that they had a comfortable lead, they wouldn't be as motivated to turnout.

Then the polling results might ironically be more accurate if people believed in them less.
What’s the point of a government or a monetary and defence system if it doesn’t help protect health? Surely keeping citizens alive and well is about the most basic role of a government?

> Regardless of your views of Trump's politics, his administration and method of leadership has exposed a lot of flaws in how our government has been designed and engineered.

> The postmortem of the last 4 years should be analyzed deeply in order to identify the weak points in the infrastructure of our government in order to make improvements.

In many cases a thoughtful analysis will reveal that the "flaw" that was exposed was that a particular function of government required good people being elected and good people being appointed. In those cases it might be a mistake to attempt to update the design or structure of government, when the solution is a lot simpler.
You are slicing her up not the article. It is simply stating that no woman has ever achieved a ranking as high as she did and it also happens to be a woman of color. I don't think it's that hard to understand, is it? Also, this is indeed significant because it puts hope to so many woman and woman of color that they can achieve it too and not be afraid of be who they are in America.
> Trump is inarguably fascist, just incompetently so. Nobody really disputes this.

I'd argue against Trump being an incompetent fascist. That's still giving him too much credit.

He's authoritarian, a narcissist, views the world through a zero-sum transactional lens, doesn't see anything wrong with cronyism or nepotism, and as far as he's concerned you're either with him or against him.

Some of that has certainly allowed fascistic people to accrete around him, and enact policies that are fascistic, but as far as I can tell, that's only because the lowest hanging fruit and the clearest path to avoiding blame was in removing restraints and checks and balances. IOW writing (and reading) and passing regulations is hard, removing or ignoring them is comparatively easy.

If it were easier to avoid blame, punish enemies, line his pockets, and put his stamp on things by nationalizing industries, he'd have been doing that instead.

And I wouldn't quite rule anything out as an attempt at some kind of "grand bargain" before he leaves office if he decides he wants to punish the GOP.

What was the chaos in the Obama administration? Those seemed like pretty boring years. By contrast, the trump adminstration had the constant leaks, tell all books, and high profile firings/resignations.

What terror attacks happened in the US due to immigration during the Obama years? Acquiescing to foreign powers yeah, Obama should have gone to war with Russia over Crimea, but the trump years are no better. He's pushed Iranians that want peace out of power, given legitimacy to Russia's conquests, and both legitimacy and nuclear weapons to North Korea, while strengthening China's ties to other countries (eg. Brazil is now China's friend due to soy trade)
What Pax Americana? The US has been in multiple wars every single year[1] since the end of World War II.

Not to mention the Cold War, which only stayed cold because of the nukes holding both sides back.
