Right, you can't actually talk about any real compromise position. All anyone hears are the two extreme options. People who talk about miscarriage, mother's life in danger, and so on are trying to convince you that because those exist all abortion should be legal. Anyone who is against abortion sees right through that. If anyone was serious about the compromise position where those types of things are allowed but otherwise abortion was illegal they might be able to get many against abortion on their side - except that they won't because give an inch and they take a mile is reality and everyone "knows" if you compromise at all they will just be back against next year asking for more.

> People will trade their rights for more basic needs being fulfilled

Seems like people got the best of both worlds - they will be able to keep more rights than they otherwise would have and they will enjoy a better economy. Win-win!
I would argue the Democratic Party is hardly "left-wing". The old joke is that the US has two parties: the right wing party and the very right wing party. They have moved a bit to the left though, but many "left wing" policies they support have broad universal support among the left and right in Europe. Today it's more the centre/centre-right party and the monster raving looney party.

But yes, the system is not great. This matters even more in the senate elections by the way, where every state gets two senators regardless of population size. I get the argument that you don't want densely populated cities dominating large swaths of rural areas, but 1) elections are about people and not trees, and 2) now it's the reverse where sparsely populated rural areas dominate. So...
In other countries we have this thing called civic duty. Do try it sometime.
So when I'm down on my luck I shouldn't be entitled to healthcare?

Living in the UK I'm more than happy to contribute my way in taxes, knowing I'm always looked after regardless of my employment state or wealth.

Additionally we can also pay for American style (private) healthcare, but aren't paying 10x markup on treatment as is the case for America (see Ozempic pricing for example).

American healthcare is one of the worst in the developed world, it shouldn't be celebrated.
I personally don’t see much similarity between the mayflower (Europeans exiled to underpopulated territory in the empire) to a Chinese grad student coming to work a tech company. And that’s the ideal case!

Let’s also not pretend that “free housing” is NOT a major transfer of wealth from the government to landlords.

People would likely be less annoyed if the “free housing” was more akin to government owned military barracks instead of subsidized rent to private enterprise.
Well, what I saw was the culmination of a multi generation plan by wealthy and organized far right activists to accomplish this result or one similar to it. I'm not saying twitter alone accomplished that, I'm saying musk bought it in order to make it part of that project.
I feel like they were not only the most useless policies, with decades away targets, but also had the most damage on labour, see car manufacturers all in crisis cutting jobs
Purely based on gut feeling, Twitter had less of an impact on this election than it did in 2016.
Mercantalism begets more mercantalism. Many of those who don't want the "end" of globalism are the same ones pursuing mercantilist policies despite decades of calls of reform from the developed import markets.

You can't run a massive trade surplus against USA, gouging their industries while simultaneously calling for the "fall of Westen hegemony" forever. "The Global South" had a chance for the last 20 years to peacefully rise up into the Liberal International Order, they blew it all for the sake their own pride and greed. When any sort of adherence of rules or frameworks is labelled as "imperialism" then unfortunately we'll all have to go back and suffer the 1920s to understand why those rules exist again.
I really really hope you are a better judge of that than I am
Can you explain this more to me? What does it mean to be unable to afford healthcare? As I understand, it is a law that you must have it, or you pay a fine to the IRS by your tax return. Do you really have no healthcare now?

>> He didn't provide any details on what he plans to do that will actually improve people's lives.

He did provide high level detail. He said he'd use tariffs to exclude foreign made stuff, which will necessitate "made in America" and bring manufacturing back. He said he'd balance the budget, which (theoretically) has long-term effects. He said he'd deport illegals, which should reduce demand for housing and hence prices.

You can disagree with any of those things, but I don't think it's right to say he didn't offer anything specific.
And how do you explain the police why the IT guy does that?

> most/all of the climate policies will be revered irreparably damaging our planet bringing us to the brink of extinction

The valid policies will remain. I've been hearing the rest for decades now.
The entire point of being wealthy (and USA is one of the richest countries on earth) is to be able to afford to sacrifice some extra wealth (e.g. by not working, or giving to charity, or abolishing slavery, or enforcing worker's rights) to accomplish other goals (whatever you deem good, or moral, or just fun / entertainment).
Asylum is an option, if you can prove harm. In the meantime, work on your qualifiers: education, income, etc. Unfortunately, no country is going to willingly take someone they feel cannot contribute to their society, so you need to prove to them that you will.
By that reasoning Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy weren't far right, because a very significant portion of their population actually voted for that. Or France now, our "Rassemblement National" used to be far right, but now enough people (about a third) vote for them that they no longer are.

Sorry if that feels like a strawman, but I find the idea of using popularity to determining what counts as "far" stupid and dangerous.
This is neat but Splats are not really mean to be edited in this way.

Splats are sort of like byte code, they are the compiled and optimized representation of reflected light as semi-transparent guassians.

Or you can think of them as the PDF equivalent of a Google or Word Doc. All the logic is gone, and you just have final optimized results.

Generally when you edit PDFs, the results are not great and you cannot make major edits because the layout won't reflow, etc.

So while this is cool, I don't think it will take off unless there is another innovation in terms of either using AI to "reflow" the lighting and surfaces after an edit, or inferring more directly the underlying representations (true surface properties and the light sources.)

Why can't it be both?

Why can't I want to minimize the number of unskilled outsiders (with different values, etc.) because they may cost more while overlooking that fact for those with obvious economic power regardless of where they are from.

I know it hurts to hear: people with wealth are desirable guests and citizens.

A country's citizenry is much like children: some are going to be shitty, but we still support that limited group because of arbitrary moral obligation (perhaps inspired by the fact that we want our "own" to continue.) We're not obligated to extend this tradition to anyone else for any reason.

> you still won't get me spending the money I earn on your economy so you won't get rich from me.

Thankfully there are billions of people in the world and they're literally dying to get into the US. H-1Bs quotas are filled every year - there's no shortage of high-average earners wanting to come here, either.
So I suppose people must use it all the time to buy goods and services. Right?

I disagree with the guy you are responding to as well. But I don’t think he’s saying that Trump wants people to pay the 2% like it is a subscription fee. I think he’s just saying that Trump is using the possibility of leaving as a threat in the hopes that countries will meet their 2% obligation.

As to what Trump actually is saying, I have no idea, he’s hard to parse.

Like I said, it's actually very well defined because it's been being studied for decades at this point. Just because it can sometimes be an overloaded term in colloquial usage doesn't negate that.

This story is from September originally, but I am reposting it because it is now much more relevant as Trump was declared the election winner today.
I survived an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (previously undiagnosed ventricular fibrillation). Luckily I was in a building about 20 yards from where they kept the defibrillator, and they started CPR within a couple of minutes of me going down, with defibrillation as soon as they had got the device ready. I was already sitting up and talking when the air ambulance arrived but I still got the helicopter ride.

When I had an ICD implanted a few days later the surgical team stressed how massively lucky I'd been. They all stopped what they were doing and stared at me when the lead person read out my case history.

I don't think I had significant neurological issues as a result. Perhaps I should check my HN comment history to see if my rate of karma accrual changed around the date of the event.
While I get the market effects you're talking about, it still hinges on CPI as a goal post. My point was that there's a surprisingly large number of people that completely distrust CPI or any other data coming out of the federal government.

And honestly I do understand many of the technical concerns with CPI. Dig into how the calculations are made and how much room they have to manipulate numbers between changing the basket of goods and adjusting prices to account for various factors that they deem explanatory for a portion of price changes and the CPI begins to look a lot less reliable as a long term metric.

Maybe EU countries should be those that leave NATO so they won't be blackmailed. They have some nuclear capable countries already.

Product being used for p*orn – lean into it?

I built it with the intention to help people with disabilities and finger/wrist pain (people like my dad) but it's basically just being used on AI NSFW pages.

Of course there are other users but my true power users are 90% porn. I guess they do only have 1 hand to type to be fair.

A lot of whom were paid to be there.
From far away, it looks obvious.

When he ran the first time, the tactic was "oh easy, we'll say we're not as egregious as that guy".

They even sabotaged Bernie to this effect (see Podesta emails), even though he was polling much better than Clinton. This failed miserably, probably in essence because the Democrats were underestimating the power of clicks to drive reality, which Trump understood, at least intuitively.

This was a historical moment where the Democrats could have reorganised things and refocused on their traditional base, namely, the working class. It seemed obvious they should, I personally really thought they would have to.

No no, it turned out. We were treated to years and years of full on circus shenanigans. They doubled down, blamed others - the Russians, Wikileaks, whoever really. Anything but blame themselves and admit that they were offering nothing which was substantively different enough from the Republicans, in the eyes of the voters.

And here we are again. Will they be able to gut the decrepit power structures keeping the zombie Democrat party afloat this time, injecting new life? Or will they find a new scapegoat, treating us to more utterly pointless pontificating through a series of never-ending media cycles.

In summary, it seems they think pandering to identity tropes will be enough to distinguish them in the eyes of the voters, but that is simply playing on Trump's territory where he decides the rules. He does it better than them. It's one of the quite few things you could say he's "good" at.
varargs are a thing for a reason. Same with keyword arguments.

The elephant in this discussion remains the idea that operations are somehow different from functions. This is akin to asking what makes a datatype a primitive. There are some that are typically included in that list, but there is no real intrinsic quality of any data that makes it more so.

GLDC and BITW are currently trading a deep discounts. GDLC has filed to convert into an ETF, at which point the discount to NAV will go away.

Yes, but you then need to have an already developed full supply chain, and for that you need to bootstrap your energy production first hand.

Not really. If you want to go back a Decade, then it was legitimate equality issues.

You can't just say, people shouldn't be equal and claim you are fighting against 'identity' politics. Like women being allowed to open bank accounts without their husbands permission. Why do Republicans want to go back to those days? Unless you actually listen to them, and they quote some Bible Versus about Women being property, then you see the actual agenda.

I detect a double-standard among Republicans in this regard, but at any rate, I think this is a case of culture-war/DEI resentment and conflating people on Twitter with the DNC. And here they'll usually point to some policy or other that gives credence to some of that (DEI for federal workers or something), but it's a weak connection.
> essentially most Americans are single issue voters on the economy.

Isn't this true in all democracies? It is very hard to stay in power if the economy isn't doing well.
I think people don't realize that it doesn't need to be directly said by a politician to create sentiment.

If you look at the online sentiment which greatly affects young voters, it is very much anti-men in general. In fact you even have instances of this being seen in popular culture entertainment and slipping into mainstream at times. Especially for CIS white males. And guess which population overwhelmingly both voted for Trump, but also gained voters for the Trump camp? Men.

Anti-male rhetoric is at an all time high, and has given rise to male spaces being dominated by accordingly anti-female rhetoric.

This is in part what the parent comments are mentioning. That many of the most outspoke people for Dems (i.e not necessarily politicians themselves) are women who just entirely dismissed even trying to capture male voters who were on the fence. Yes, I get that it is difficult to resonate with people who vote in favor of taking away womens rights, but the problem is that you just aren't going to win if you don't capture at least some of those voters.

Mars is very cold, so all this waste heat from nuclear reactor can be used to heat spaces, but nuclear reactors needs enriched fuel to work, which is dangerous to transport.

If Petrovskite Solar Cells will work on Mars reliably, they can be produced directly on Mars and used together with sand batteries for stable supply of energy and heat.
An liberals are not honest about caring. They are arguing because of a few bad cases all abortion should be legal, instead of using this as a reasonable compromise. So long as those are the two choices a lot less humans die if all abortion is banned even if some mothers die as well. (Do not say a fetus isn't a human - that might work for you but it doesn't apply to anyone against abortion and you just look like an idiot for not recognizing what they see as an obvious fact and we get nowhere).

If you want to support a compromise: most of what you need to do is shut up everyone who will only accept their extreme position.
Now now, OP never implied that Occupy Wall Street was effective. :-)

If anything, it points to the stark lack of class consciousness in America that even our biggest protests aren't generally able to create long lasting change.
