Err, you meant Republicans were unwilling to compromise, right? Because the Democrats bent over backwards to introduce 160 Republican amendments to the ACA and even delayed votes to have more Republican voices heard during debate.
There are nowhere near as many of those.
So to cover what you're washing over here: The US President and his subordinates attempted to use the office of the President's powers to compel a foreign country to "discover" evidence against the President's domestic political opponents, under the auspices of denying military aid for the defense of that country from invasion by one of the US's global antagonists.

That's what you're covering under "hyper-partisan". You know, just so we're all clear on that.
Cuba is fully surrounded and only touched by two cables.
No he didn’t. This is a lie allowed to continue unabated and it’s done an incredible amount of damage to just simple civil dialogue in this country.
Ok, well, anecdotally I'm hearing the opposite. :) Everyone I talk to recognizes the value of immigration generally and is focused entirely on illegal immigration.
All systems lead to two party systems. Even countries with multiparty system, turn into two major parties with dozens of fringe parties. These fringe parties do nothing more than splitting votes, forming coalition when one of the major party didn’t win majority typically creating unstable governments.
Trotting out conspiracy theories and insinuations is rightfully not the business of mainstream news. And racial injustice is not something to sweep under the rug.
What specific lie do you refer to? There seem to be many lies in play as far as I can tell. Some people might even go so far as to say that the entire conversation is composed of mostly lies, although that presumes conscious intent, which I would say is not the case.
Damn shame isn't it, think of the money and lives saved on not having wars and not pursuing other mad activities.

Anyway, it seems we won't have to wait long, AI will managing us before long, it'll ensure our emotions are kept straitjacketed and well under its control.

No. It’s that each side lets these things slide.

Many countries let a little socialism slide, with great results.

A little racism should never be allowed to slide. Racism is disgusting.
Fox News is considered liberal by most on the right these days. Using it as a poll for where the right stands is irresponsible at best.

This may be US-centric but when people talk about The War on Drugs™ they mean specifically the US campaign against drugs and the ensuing police-state. Yes, other countries at other times have also made drugs illegal, but the war on drugs refers to the US policy specifically.
Word processors are notorious for creating convoluted structures. I wouldn't be surprised if the lists in the headings are due to the internal structure of LO not being easily mapped to the structure of a DOCX.

Feels like a workaround for some specific issue.

As I said previously, pandoc might be worth a look. But it's installation is more involved and it's able to convert everything to almost everything (it would even allow converting a LaTeX document to ePub :-) https://pandoc.org/epub.html).

But I can't really attest the quality for more complex documents. You have a working workflow and sometimes it's better to keep the devil you know instead of getting lots of unknown devils.
I disagree wholeheartedly. You’ve described Trumpism in terms of “what goes on in Donald Trump’s head.” I think very few people ultimately care about this. Instead, most people interpret “Trumpism” as what his followers believe. And I can see little argument that there’s a much stronger thread of white primacy in his statements and followers than anyone else.
I did not say labels are meaningless. I said taking labels that have meanings, like far right vs far left, and trying to redefine them (semantic games) to be relative to some arbitrary standard within a single country (like saying “fiscal conservative but social liberal is “centrist” in the US” when in fact it all hinges on the fine points of those positions) is not helpful or useful.

Political labels (not within-country labels at a point in time) can be useful. Far right and far left have long-developed meanings in terms of broad policies they endorse and those policies have meanings in terms of the actual measurable impact on lives and human flourishing.

I feel your comment is not in good faith at all. Saying something like “what does this even mean” as a rhetorical deflection tactic when my comment was perfectly clear is very uncharitable and additionally it’s not contributing any new arguments or information, you’re just acting like the premise is unclear, but for no acceptable reason.

Go look at how polls are extrapolated. Specifically give me the exact formula and raw data so I can confirm it myself, like we do in other such situations. You won’t find it. Stop trusting polls.
I’m excited and eager to have discussions with people who don’t share my political position on the issues. However, I am not at all eager to have a discussion with people who are arguing in bad faith or staking their position on lies and falsehoods.

What’s the point in having a discussion on the best ways to combat the effects of climate change when one political party has taken the position that anthropogenic climate change doesn’t exist?

What’s the point in having a discussion on the best way to fix the broken US healthcare system when one political party not only refuses to acknowledge that it’s broken, but is trying to undo what minor improvements we’ve been able to make in the last 12 years?

The GOP has marked itself as an opponent to everything that Democrats suggest and has painted itself into the stupidest possible corner, where they need to fight tooth and nail against their own policies because there’s a Democrat administration.
From my perspective, the two things that people mix up are:
A. Russia interfering with the election.
B. Trump welcoming Russia's interference.

For me, (B) is significant regardless of whether the interference was impactful — and bringing up (B) in response to (A) does not seem disingenuous.

No, but some things are more efficient than other things. We aren't expecting health care to not cost anything.... we already spend more money than anywhere else on health care, and we get less!

We are saying "it is much more efficient and fair to have single payer health care"... it is not a free lunch... it is a cheaper, healthier lunch.
There's a reason why countries like France and many others have banned mail-in ballots. When those ballots keep being found day after day and the vote counting keeps going and going without end, until the right candidate wins, people will say its fraudulent. There's nothing you can say or do about it because that's just how it will go. You should want to prevent the voting process from looking fraudulent at all. There should be no doubts about it. The only thing you can do to achieve that is preventing that kind of voting from taking place to great degrees in the first place, which I believe Trump wanted to do but his opponents didn't.
I assume by "both sides" you mean both sides in the citizenry, not both sides in congress.

I don’t get it. What’s so hard about getting 10nm to work??
The question shows that you have a hard time to understand the complexity of it. Maybe the reason is that you are an experienced developer who deals with all the complexity quite naturally and automatically.

So why is this task complex?

Well, what happens if there are no numbers in the table to begin with? Is the sum of no numbers a zero or is it supposed to be some error?

And are all the numbers supposed to be natural numbers or can there be e.g. irrational and complex numbers be in there? If so, how much precision do we need when summing them up - and how important is performance?

Also, what if there are not only numbers but other things (dates, text, ...) by accident?

And in a real world scenario, what happens when numbers are added to the table during the calculation? Should they be considered or ignored - should the table be locked somehow?

The problem with these questions is not that they are necessarily hard to answer (often they are) but that people don't even know, that they need to be asked in the beginning.

Many developers are so used to it, they often don't understand that they are doing things that are difficult for normal people.

In the same way mathematicians find it easy to do basic algebra for some more difficult task, it's just part of there toolkit - whereas most people don't even understand this basic part from the beginning, let alone more complex problems.

To be fair, a lot of reasonable people would say "no witness could change my mind" if I asked them "what witness testimony would convince you that politicians are secretly Lizard People from the planet Venus?" So I don't think this is really about rejecting facts & reason... it's more about having really strong priors that the rest of us don't share.

And the sky is blue. Everyone including my cat knows it. Of course one with the biggest club gets to write the laws and to ignore those when it suits. Just stop pretending to be a knight in a shining armor. And being not as shitty as some others is not a reason to claim high moral ground.

Right. But evidence is more trustworthy than authority.
My same question. OK you can be claim to be a "good Republican" and vote Biden but (R) down ballot. Why were Senate and House races also wrong? Why did Lindsey Graham win by so much when the polls didn't give him that lead? In South Carolina, it's ok to say you'll vote for Graham.
The American MPA is self-regulated (probably simply to put it into legal territory, since legislating it would probably prevent freedom of expression and translates to censorship, especially if the authority is directly government-controlled) but some other systems are legislated (not just in countries you think as opressive, mind you: Britain has an independent organization that rates movies but are approved by the government).

Still a bit flawed though: I thought that there is already a ratings board in America for software?
That's true - but standardization comes at a cost. If the standard is not good or not good enough (even after some time later) then it hinders progress. That's why even easy to standarise things such AC powercables are changed by some companies (Apple, OnePlus) to improve charging speed, because the standard isn't sufficient.
Fortunately, most don't.
It was tongue in cheek, apologies if that wasn't obvious.
Hi, I'm from Australia. Voting is mandatory here! Turn out in our elections is 99.x%. You are not obligated to make a choice, but you are obligated under pain of a $30 fine to be registered at a polling station on election day. You can avoid the fine if you present a valid reason for not voting after the election when notified. Such a reason would definitely include "I was prevented from voting" or "I was threatened if I voted", and would be registered with the AEC and investigated seriously.

Our Electoral commission is the most trusted government body in the country, and has maintained a culture of independence and accuracy. We don't have any form of electronic voting, but generally have election results on election night.

Our system has multiple viable political parties! Factions on both the left and right of the spectrum at multiple government levels have successfully won and lost seats over the years depending on their ability to poll within the electorate. This has not resulted in them being regarded as "spoilers" to the main political parties, and has acted at times as an effective check on government policy since it encouraged cross-party negotiation through multiple avenues.

Is our system perfect? No - no system is. But come election night, our representative government actually represents the people. If you got 51% of the vote, then 51% of the population, through some means, selected you as a preferred candidate.
Maybe if they could cast the repo as satire, they'd have an even stronger case?
That's concerning. If true, there could even be a risk for cancer.
It's time for the DOJ to break up Apple. Together with Google, they're destroying the Internet and open computing. Soon, it'll be all information that is locked down and controlled.

Computers didn't use to be like this. Apple has land grabbed their way here and is now clamping down harder than ever before. If we don't revolt, we're going to wind up in a terrible place where Apple and Google make all the movies and games and we rent everything and own nothing.

Call your representative and ask them to put an end to this.

Demand open computing. You own the computer, you get to run whatever software you want.

(Side note: iPhones are the only computers a large segment of Americans own!)
It's not just that he's going to challenge the result in court. Please, go listen to his words- they're on YouTube. Read his tweets.

He's saying things like that he would win if it weren't for all of the illegal votes being counted. That "bad things" are happening in Pennsylvania as his lead was closing. He said, months ago, that he didn't think votes should be counted after election day, which is absolutely absurd.

He's literally trying to sow doubt about the election process and trying to make people think that Biden closing and overcoming a vote gap is suspicious, when it was totally expected.

I don't throw the term around lightly, but I don't know what else to call a blatant undermining of democracy like that other than fascism. Maybe we can discuss whether or not fascism is all that bad, but I find no way you can argue in good faith that what he's saying about the election is "ho-hum. Nothing to see here."
The problem has been solved for the public, but there's still issues for the supply side though.

Working for a company much smaller than FAANG, I've seen issues with REST. However, the waterfall problem was a small issue compared with problems with bandwidth and server-side compute when you are processing and returning more data than is actually needed. That isn't to say that graphql is a magic bullet for those problems, but the issues with REST can show up far before you get to FAANG scale.

So, I am going to put political parties aside and focus on the purely American absurdities.

* We live in a two party system. China has one party only and others are not allowed. Most countries have multiple polical parties. In the US it comes down to money. It take a huge amount of money to become a political party with access to various jurisdictions and media influence which is more challenging than it sounds because funding is required via donations only and donations are limited by campaign finance laws. A two party system is limiting to us versus them arguments, which are often invalid and absurd.

* People don’t pick presidential candidates. Political parties do. This occurs via primary elections that differ from the general election that really matters. Primaries are scattered so that political parties can experimentally field test their candidates among their primary constituents. These constituents are often not the general voting body comprised of moderate people. This is often how candidates emerge that are generally unpopular and/or incompetent, because it’s a reflection of party tooling opposed to actual voter concerns.

* Even with the support and nomination of a political party candidates need more money to compete. Generally the candidate that raises the most money performs better. Therefore the ingredients to become president are party nomination and fund raising.
At least one reason why there’s division is because the left keeps pointing at education, and that Trumps supporters “lack any”. Regardless of the facts, it’s insulting. You are also implying that you go to school and learn to be liberal. Brainwashed is another word for this which is considered conspiracy theory. You’re also assuming that the entirety of present company is “educated”. Assuming this means college degree, this is most definitely not true on HN.

So, to what benefit do you or anybody have to point out the education level of any voter?
Agreed, but what other choice was there given the system?
Doubt there's any available. Drop catchers will grab all 3 letters. Best bet is to check the domain auction sites.

Yeah; Bannon just got banned from social media for calling for Fauci’s (and someone else’s) beheading.

Miller has published neo-Nazi propaganda in the recent past. I think he’s the one who says Hitler’s chief of propaganda is his primary role model, but I might have him confused with someone else in Trump’s inner circle.
To extend your analogy, the players on the field only have so much they can do--Trump included. Might be worth asking who is in the owner's box, who is betting on the game, and why are we in the stands cheering so aggressively for either side in the first place.

With Trump out in January, I hope more people are critical and skeptical of the various institutions in our country that wield the actual power. For a more in depth analysis, would highly recommend Glenn Greenwald's take: https://greenwald.substack.com/p/no-matter-the-liberal-metri...
>But my point is, I very much doubt this is representative of 100% of the Republican electorate. I think its probably something like way less than 1%.

Some people just want the trains to run on time. I understand that. However sometimes there are more important issues. In those instances it is hard to see people ignore those issues in favor of the train schedule.

Listen to his responses again. I don't know how you can interpret it any other way.

They go very deep underground (rather than lying on the seafloor) quite a distance out from the coastline, and stay deep underground until they get to the "landing manhole" which is nowhere near the beach. The manhole is generally surrounded by a security perimeter. The "landing station" where the NSA's equipment sits is either in the same compound or (less ideally) very nearby. In the latter case the cable run from the manhole to the landing station has to be protected as well.

The digging that they do on the beach is quite disruptive. It often involves blasting. Beachfront landowners fight these things tooth and nail, which is why the landings tend to be in either highly industrialized port locations (Portland, OR) or middle-of-nowhere rugged rocky beaches that nobody visits or lives near.

When I was on the swim team, we often had practice in the morning before class. If school started later, morning practice would be even easier (as it was, we were waking up at something like 5am for that.) And competitions can easily be on Saturdays, they needn't be after school on a weekday.
