Interesting list. I'd rather not try to knock it down, or agree, I just think its a good basis to talk.

I think there's a component of risk for people to say "I don't like this" and to be D in an R context of your surrounds demanded inviting confrontation. Given how widespread current R views on things like jobs-n-guns are, the deep seated resentments of welfare help for immigrants, belief in the fear side of widespread job hollowing, standing up and saying "I think the D arguments are kinder" invited high risk response. Saying "yea I'll align with this R guy who says he can fix it" was just easier in every way: less contention, part of the in-group, communally mutual.

It would plain I am a D guy. I am not in the USA and I am not american, so I'm an outsider view on this. Some of these forces play in Australia where I do live and I see this a lot: people seek validation in their immediate surroundings. The gang around the bully aren't naturally bullies themselves, they just don't want to be isolated from their peers.

It would also be plain I don't think he can fix the problems he's claimed day #1 he can fix. He can't, without creating states of being worldwide which are equally bad, equally risky and probably will backfire on the voters who backed him. But thats a problem for another day. He said he could, and people liked that.

I think the DNC is incapable of fixing its gerontocracy. The vote on the left has splintered, and now dies on it's own lack of unity, incumbency in the leadership and the differences between themselves, and what ordinary people experience.

Welcome to a new underclass. dis-enfranchised others, who do the bad jobs, for low pay, and many people will be happy because they got theirs. I don't like it.

"fixing" china by applying tarrifs won't bring jobs back to america. "fixing" ukraine by giving up defending ukraine will bring russia directly to the borders with NATO. Taiwan won'tbe invaded but Americans no longer can be relied on to defend it, and the middle east is in flames, and fuel will be poured on the fire. AUKUS won't happen, Australia will shelter under US crewed nuclear power, not own its own, and there won't be any jobs in this because the willingness to fund the partnership will evaporate.

Domestic US politics do not create good states of US foreign policy, basically.

I actually don't think Harris lost this for being a woman. I think in the end, it didn't come down to him vs her, it came down to R vs D and the voters actually wanted more of the R arguments than the (fractured) D arguments.

"It's morning in america" worked.

I wonder how long before regret sets in?
Fellow European here - I think we have different Ukranian friends. All mine were bitterly frustrated at Biden's failure to properly support them militarily, and resigned to having to fight to the death if Trump orders they secede to Russia. There is zero popular support in Ukraine for 'giving up', since it would likely mean mass murder, and the end of Ukraine as an independent state.

> Good on the Dems for trying to change the world instead of accepting the hateful and unfair place it is.

You can't change the world by losing.

Their primary goal should have been to win. The primary way to do that is to (ugh) pander to the voters' will.

It's because they are so out of touch that we are seeing the result that we see. Politicians that are disconnected and disengaged from the voting masses deserve to lose.
> So now I am confused, am I allowed to free() the Vec's pointer directly or not?

No, you are not; simple as that. Miri is right. Rust using malloc/free behind the scenes is an internal implementation detail you are not supposed to rely on. Rust used to use a completely different memory allocator, and this code would have crashed at runtime if it were still the case. Since when is undocumented information obtained from strace a stable API?

It's not like you can rely on Rust references and C pointers being identical in the ABI either, but the sample in the post blithely conflates them.

> It might be a bit surprising to a pure Rust developer given the Vec guarantees, but since the C side could pass anything, we must be defensive.

This is just masking bugs that otherwise could have been caught by sanitizers. Better to leave it out.
> My concern is that Ms Harris will at a minimum continue the leftist direction of America that has been pursued, or at least tolerated, by Joe Biden.

Well there's this sort of thing:

If you think there are plenty of places out there to get a wedding cake or a gender transition cake, and people should just leave people alone whom they disagree with, who do you vote for?
That's the problem though isn't it. A lot of the problems don't just belong to the US, or just belong to everyone else.

The problem with isolationism is that everyone else gets to do their thing without your input.
Doesn't seem to be much commentary here on what an axis of Musk/Vance/Thiel (and Andreesen, etc.) influence and power in the US federal administration now means for the technology sector.

Remember it is Musk who began the wave of layoffs a bit over two years ago.

Bezos evidently saw the way the wind was blowing already.

I also see almost zero discussion about climate change policy. For many of us non-Americans, this (the disengagement of the US from even the pathetic half-measures it moved towards under Obama) is one of the key things that was horrifying to watch.
Historically main problem of a large part of the world (from Vietnam to Yemen) is USA bombing them ...
There are no tariff price increases for cars/ other goods produced in the US. Companies will build a manufacturing plant in the US to access the market. They will in turn benefit from low regulation and less strict worker rights.
HN is mainly American audience. So it's something rest of the world has to bear.
Yeah but you're speaking as someone who actually pays taxes (I presume) and feels like you're not getting any benefits from it. But when you (or I) were growing up and enjoying an education paid for by the government, or when you lose your job, or when you retire, or when you need a doctor / the hospital, etc, you'll be grateful that there is a system in place to keep it affordable.

But this is another example of a string of selfishness in modern politics; it's a "got mine, fuck you" line of thinking. Whereas post-WW2 there was much more of a cooperative mindset, collective national or european-wide trauma, and a drive to cooperate to help each other out, regardless of their employment status. But WW2 has been forgotten and both Europe and the US are shifting back to the right-wing, because there's immigrants after your jobs, benefits and women apparently.
It's very easy to estimate the real-world cost of on-prem or dedicated hosting - there is a wide range of providers that will quote you fixed monthly prices to manage it for you (including me) because we know what it costs us to manage various things for you.

AI is the only place I don't currently see much on-prem advantage, because buying SOTA equipment is hard, and it gets outdated too quickly.

For pretty much everything else, if you can't save 70%+ TCO, maintenance/devops included, over an optimized cloud setup, you're usually doing something very wrong, usually because the system is designed by someone who defaults to "cloud assumptions" (slow cores, too little RAM, too little fast storage, resulting in systems that are far more distributed than they need be is the typical issue).
Migrants in S. American states care!
The working class is struggling to afford eggs and incumbent party campaigned on social stuff and the opposition's shitty personal history. Things people don't give a fuck about if they can't afford eggs.
You forget that America is the cause of many countries’ problems, see the Middle East and South America for prime examples.
No, basically every level of our country is designed to balance the voices of heavily populated areas with rural areas. It's completely ignorant of the history of our nation to claim it's intended to give rural areas an advantage, when in fact it is an attempt at compromise. And let's not forget: without that compromise our nation literally would not exist, as the large and small states wouldn't have come to an agreement otherwise.
Interisngs. Now benig old and have memorues issues is a problem to being a president?
Well now it makes sense why they were on a crusade to purge all Switch emulators from the face of the internet.
Because discrimination is bad and I don’t like to be told that I have to use a x race, gender, sexual orientation in the lead role of “my movie”.
But most of the truly thorny problems aren't "owned" by any one country.
Absolutely - if you look on YouTube alone, the view counts on interviews/podcasts between Trump/Vance and Harris/Walz are dramatically different. For better or worse, people increasingly get their information and news from videos, and to skip that was a major misunderstanding of the cultural landscape.
I'm not talking iPhones, I'm talking "luxury" commodities like cars and other expensive equipment where quality counts.
Europe is already rethinking it. Have you heard of Sahra Wagenknecht?
I understand their intentions. I understand that these votes come out of a place of fear. They are unhappy and a lying demagogue is pointing them to a solution and fuels them with hate. [1]

I also understand that they willfully choose to ignore massive red flags and are a bunch of hypocrites. These people have no shame and need to be shamed. It is the key emotion that leads to change and motivates to action.

Sadly, due to electoral interference by totalitarian regimes, media outlets, Musk, and the internet in general, these people who would otherwise be ostracized by the community due to their antisocial behaviours have been normalized.

Once you're set up like that, it's extremely difficult to get out of. I am afraid that the US has check-mated itself for at least an entire generation. The only thing that can drive a change is hope and basic human decency, ethics and morality.

Which brings us back to people wilfully being the exact opposites of those values. We've had lying oppressive demagogues probably since the dawn of humanity. Most certainly in the last century.

However, despite being afraid and frustrated, many people sided against such leaders. And this is why I consider not doing so a personal moral failing.

Germany was who I had in mind - you can't blame the lack of eu tech boom over the last 16 years on the last 3 years of a centre-left coalition.
I'm European and I 100% disagree with the characterization that I'm sitting here thinking "America, what are you doing?".
this is an important realization!
Impossible to get a group of people that large to behave strategically.

So you're asking the wrong questions.

What about the democrats ideology is unpopular? Because that is what people are voting on, not strategy.
This. Do people honestly think that Mike Johnson, who was planning to attempt to not certify the election and have the House try to overturn the result if Harris won, will really cede control EVER? Who’s going to force them now that they’ve captured the judiciary, Congress, and the White House? He’ll pardon himself on day one and never face his classified documents / espionage / treason charges, and die in office, however long they can prop him up for. I’m not even joking when I say that I doubt we’ll have federal elections in the future, as he’s said as much already.
> Brexiteers made up a fantasy future

Worse: many different and mutually incompatible fantasy futures, which they denied ahead of the referendum, and which after the referendum became a source of infighting that made all possible Brexits impossible to get past Westminster until Johnson came along and lied to everyone to get enough support to actually close a deal.

(The only time I can think of when digging a deeper hole got anywhere, even if the where was a… I guess in this metaphor: a disused basement where the stairs were missing?)
Tariffs will make this much worse for two reasons:

1. importing your inputs becomes more expensive.

2. other countries will impose retaliatory tariffs on your exports.

This is not how to do economic development; Asian countries instead used export promotion. (…And wage suppression and currency weakening.)
> It's racism that must be constantly pointed out, that people must be educated about, and racism should be rooted out when found.

As I pointed out in a different post, trying to shame people into silence doesn't magically change their vote.

Unfortunately, when you are going to call every Rep supporter a racist with no evidence other than who they voted for, they are going to stop answering your polls honestly.

Still not gonna change their vote though...
The more interesting thing to consider is that Trump has said Elon will have an active role in his administration. How is he going to do that on top of everything else? How are Tesla investors going to feel about this?
I think that might be the culprit, but then you have no escape. Some post brexit interviews have been - at least for an European - quite hilarious. I feel sorry for them tho, but it's sort of a leopards ate my face situation
The democrats are not socialist and they don’t call themselves that. Socialists may or may not cast a D vote, but if they do it’s a monumental compromise.

The Dems are terrified of accidentally seeming too left. Republicans have no problem embracing the more extreme right, whereas Dems would rather cowtow to the imaginary swing voter and lose than get called the S word.
I see this being a problem in the current situation, where most businesses use either Google or Microsoft for their emails. But in the case of an EU-wide change, I think the situation would be different. Plus, there are other providers that could be used that aren't blocked by MS' and Google's spam filters.
You may want to give Republican policies a quick double check.
As someone with a german passport (federal elections next year) and living in france (next presidential in 2027) I do care. Europe is next. Make no mistake, the money that bought this election will try to get the european power houses at a discount, now that they have an ally in the white house.
So you really think more than half of the Americans are mentally impaired? The probability of being mentally impaired is higher for a random poster like you than for half of American people.
> In this case, to answer your question, maybe you want to limit an influx of new people into your country (for ideological, or economical, or whatever reasons) but don't want a full on ethnic cleansing.

As this election shows, then, you would vote for Trump, who is "better on immigration." You would tell yourself, as many Trump supporters demonstrate in interviews, that "he wouldn't actually do that."
As they seem to have removed Bluetooth Explorer and all ways to get diagnostic info about the bluetooth system and/or change codecs and settings, does anybody know any good cmdline ways in later mac osxes to do the same?

For example I'm having a problem that comes and goes now and then where Bluetooth audio is 300 ms delayed compared to the video playback everywhere except in Youtube on Safari, very strange. It's good for a few months then suddenly it becomes unusable, then back to zero sync delay after a few months.

I was thinking this might be related to CODEC selections etc or some hidden setting that might get changed which we normally aren't allowed to determine :)

(btw I know there is a difference between latency and synchronization - latency might be unavoidable but video sync should always be able to compensate - I got curious on how exactly that works, where in the app / SDK / OS pipeline does the a/v sync happen on a Mac?)
My theory is that a good portion of people didn't vote for "Trump", they voted for their party. That's the end of their thought process.

Party affiliation is a huge part of people's culture and personality in the US, "We are a Republican family" is something people outside of the US wouldn't say out loud. They have always voted Republican and will always vote Republican even if it's against their interests.
weird how Harris is so in favour of my body my choice but not like that.
In some cases I would say yes if there was a hard limit (even few years) to migrate. Again, most people that didn't work in many really big corpos and banks don't comprehend how reliant those businesses are on the MS office stack.
> people are just hacked off that life is getting worse for most people while billionaires get richer and richer.

So their answer is to vote precisely for a representative of that class (supported by richest guy in the world). And at the same time, the same electors have a strong disdain for anything remotely socialistic such as free health care and education for all.
There might be a cultural issue here for the Dems. Many of the canvassers I met who were not retirees tended to be young women, often college-aged or a bit older, very liberal and very much benefitting directly from the economic status quo. To them, voting for anyone besides Harris was just completely insensible and they did not even bother to try and understand the views of anyone they spoke with (from what I could tell), they were just pushing "get out the vote" but no substantial reasons as to why. I suspect that many of these young women are fairly out of touch with the sentiments of most americans and the daily hardships of those without college degrees, especially young men. I suspect that many of these young women will be forced out of the party for that reason, and if they aren't, then they will have to learn to actually talk to people with opposing viewpoints and figure out how to get along with the so-called "deplorables." But most likely they will just end up working somewhere else; not all at once, but the dems will be forced to change their platforms, new candidates will get elected who will change their staffs, and an entire cohort of well-to-do liberal poly sci majors will be gradually shifted out of Washington.
Analysts suggest that March 2025 is a likely target for the launch, aligning with Apple's historical pattern of releasing new MacBook models during that month.
She didnt explain why inflation happened. She didnt explain why dems did not crack down on the border until right wingers made an issue out of it. She didnt distance herself from biden. She didnt explain how she would protect abortion rights. I wanted her to win but she didnt have answers or her messaging was not getting through
He's nowhere near as bad as Biden. The media downplayed Biden's senility until the disastrous debate made it impossible. Americans got to see both candidates talk without a teleprompter for a couple hours, and Trump was able to handle it easily, while Biden exhibited clear signs of mental decline.

Trump has a rambling oratory style, but that is more of a stylistic affection.
> I'm making rapid plans to get the fuck out of this shithole country.

I keep hearing people say that sort of thing in my country in similar situations and yet they never do it.
I appreciate what you’ve been through.

However, comparing American society with one of the Middle East does not resonate with me. That goes hand in hand with comparing a military of a dictatorship with one of a democracy.
AP News at this time are reporting 224 (Harris) vs 267 (Trump) [1].

A lot of political thoughts in these comments. I think the important thing going forwards is to figure out how to maximise the opportunity that you find in your environment.

For our team we were looking to relocate our manufacturing from China and get additional investment. One of our objectives today is to figure out how the recent result in the US will affect this planning.

They are certainly a household name in the startup community but they are not a major organization for the big three cloud providers. Why is this important? Because the headline claims falsely that major companies are ditching the cloud providers. I have insights into the decision process for a major organization moving to the cloud and the motivation why 37 would leave cloud are in no way comparable to that of a major org.
You don’t imagine the next candidate will be an anointed successor, or at least somebody doubling down on the same approach? Why wouldn’t it be?
He literally didn't, it was a minority of his supporters who he specifically told to be peaceful and respectful. I'm so sick of seeing this lie shat out by everyone who's been manipulated by dem propaganda.

I don't support Trump. I can't vote in any country. I have no horses in this race, but seeing the lies and propaganda (from both sides) actually working is insane - the propaganda isn't even that good guys.
Windows 98 was my first, but I loved XP UI the most, especially in the later years when Microsoft launched the ZUNE XP theme.
Modern AEDs have voice guidance telling the person what to do. So you can follow the instructions as you do it.

Also, you should call the emergency number in your region and (at least in Australia) they'll transfer you to someone who can coach you through using the defib and performing CPR until professional help arrives.

Don't let that stop anyone from getting their CPR up to date though. The more experience you have the better equipped you'll be if you need to use it
Welcome to the world social media gave us
It works the same way in other countries, such as the UK and Turkey - rural areas are where the traditionalists live.
Yes - you may have noticed that the current president didn’t seek re-election for those reasons. His successor is just as old and not significantly better equipped mentally (judging by the way he talks and conducts himself).

Vance may become president much sooner than 2029, and Thiel and Musk will be the greatest beneficiaries.
Yeah but whose fault is that? A vote for the right is a vote for the rich, the very same that hovered up and concentrated all the newly gained wealth because any taxation has been dropped or they found ways to avoid paying taxes altogether, thus preventing the redistribution of generated wealth.

But this is the doublethink that the right-wing is somehow able to pull off. They aren't promising that people will be better off, that wealth will be distributed. Instead they're pointing at even poorer people like immigrants and saying "they're taking your jobs".

Yeah the quality of life for the average person is stagnating, but that's down to politicians and the rich, not to whatever boogeyman they're pushing.

Are we remembering the same 2010s?

Also, all of what you’re quoting stemmed from the Obama era (except the moving of the US embassy)
it will shrink with california but yes hes on track to win
Yes and the media needs to stop being so obviously biased because it both undermines their role as the arbiters of truth and it undermines the party they allegedly want to win

> Prosecuting Trump in court is not dirty fight. It is something that should have happen

I agree, but I call it "dirty fight" because that's what it's perceived as by the Trump supporters.
