>How nauseatingly condescending. How about issues like illegal immigrants coming in raping/killing women, taking over apartment complexes and living off struggling Americans' taxpayer dime? How about all time high inflation or massive layoffs?

Just curious, I agree on the illegal immigrant issues.

But for inflation, how do you think Trump will help given that inflation is expected to increase during his presidency due to expected tariffs?

Also, why do you think mass layoffs is attributed to democrats and how do you think Trump would help? To me, mass layoffs was just a repercussion of covid spending, zero interest rates.
Cutting taxes on the rich helps the rich, it doesn't directly hurt the working class. More importantly, Trump and the Republicans embracing the working class has everything to do with rhetoric and who they target for voting and very little to do with policies they actually enact. Most voters end up caring about what is said and pay little attention to what is done.

EU opens antitrust investigation into anticompetitive practices by Corning
It is rather annoying that larger policy changes easily take 2-4 years to actually affect anything so current party always gets both blame and thanks for the changes made by the previous administration.
Most economists agree that with the policies he’s proposed, inflation will increase massively.
Trump is going to send more money and armaments to Israel and not one of them will object because he will abandon Ukraine and they’ll all hold that up as an amazing thing.

I mean, all other things being equal, it would be better if we didn't have to do those things, no?

Imagine we could spend those resources towards more constructive endeavours. Not just for Europeans, but also people in the US and Russia. Take a look at [1] – they could be doing so much better.

It's all just so sad. And pointless.

Also then there's the entire business with global warming.

Definitely. This will involve a tariff regime explicitly disadvantaging the ports in coastal blue states. Certain bureaucratic centers will be moved, the kinds of things a real estate developer can follow in a short meeting.

The side effects of this will both hurt his base, and offer opportunities for smart people. For example, careless tariffs can raise the cost of everything at Walmart by 60% with Amazon not far behind. You know this and I know this.

Tariffs also demonstrate to domestic companies that they don’t need to innovate. The material and labor to innovate will be cheaper overseas. You know this and I know this.
Was America under Fascist rule from 2016 to 2020?
I keep seeing this take on Democrat's treatise of men but I'm not sure it really follows. Even among Democrats white people and men are the most valued classes of American society, for better or worse their interests will never not be protected above all others. The Democratic case has been "given that, what can we do to help the rest of you." Stuff like LGBT support, reproductive rights, BLM, and even path to citizenship don't even wiggle the needle of white men's favor in society.

It doesn't change how it feels especially in online spaces where minorities vent publicly where before it has been private, and I can understand that, but that seems to be the only difference. GOP messaging successfully took "everyone is doing worse off right now" + "look at these Democrats throwing inconsequential scraps to minorities" and convinced people it was causal.
Yeah. Unless a POTUS is in for 8 years they almost never get to experience the full results of their economic policies.

Biden inherited an inflation time bomb which has been handled. I expect Trump will claim he fixed inflation the first report that comes out after the inauguration.
It is the exact right comparison though. Conservatives failed to maintain power on their ideals. The weak party clings to power, and propels a populist into power. He scapegoats immigrants, and liberal ideas for the general malaise. The only saving grace is that he is old, and not genocidal.

People wouldn't be as familiar with the outcome if we were to discuss those other dictators. I'm certainly unaware of their parallels.
It is. But most people are not interested in simply being ‘part of the search’ — they want a career, and that relies on individual success.
And they had a hell of a time getting it passed, too. There’s no way it would have gone through if it included a hot ticket item like abortion rights.
You missed what's actually happening, which is that cheap workers don't need to migrate to you to get unskilled work done for you.

The jobs move to distant factories filled with alien staff paying taxes to far away governments and who then spend their wages where they live (which isn't where you live).

Even with tariffs, that's still cheaper for many things. And the work you're incentivising to bring to you with tariffs, that's often automated precisely because it's unskilled. Food has been increasingly automated at least since the 1750s — to the extent that cows milk themselves (into machines not just into calves) these days.

It works until it doesn't — wherever the jobs go gets a rising economic spiral, and a generation later their middle class is corresponding richer and say to each other much what you say now: "why do we need them?", only now you are a "them" in that discussion.

It's a weird thing, migration. The short term incentives absolutely favour it for everyone, but it's bad for the place of origin in the long-term.

But note that I didn't say international migration: the arguments are the same between San Francisco and Sacremento, or between Lampeter and Cardiff, or between Marzahn and Zehlendorf.
In both of these as well as submission link, one of the things that is clearly and strikingly different from modern UI is the lack of very abundant amount of padding space. I think it's almost the mantra that we need breathing room, e.g., between different options in a radio-group box list of items... but I find lesser space (as was characteristic of older UI's) to be more honest... more respectful to me as an end-user, more information-dense.

I don't want to discard whatever innovation has been done, but man I find myself being nostalgic of old UI quite often.
> The biggest issue on people's minds was the economy.

Which is kinda bizzare to me as a European - American salaries and economic output are growing the fastest of basically any developed economy, _especially_ in the poorer segements of society. By all accounts, post-COVID Dem policies have been incredibly succcessful.

But that's not good enough?!
A single article with no counterfactual isn't as good as the existing literature, which has plenty of empirical studies (https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/repost-why-immigration-doesnt-...). Academics love disagreeing with each other and economists are pretty bipartisan relative to other fields.

> Obviously "lack of workforce" is just a propaganda expression for "we don't pay enough"

Looks to me like this needs a specialized skilled workforce, otherwise they won't be able to pick the fruit in time for it to stay ripe.

Paying a smaller population of workers more will not necessarily encourage them to develop enough skills to do this job. It might just be left undone and then no fruit. If you have a larger population of potential workers, then there's more room for people to specialize in this because you have a larger economy.

> James Porter said 200 workers normally travelled to his farm in Scryne, Angus, from eastern Europe.

I'd like to know which part of Eastern Europe that means. If it was Ukraine they were bad then and worse now, but if it's Poland they have incredible economic growth right now and are on track to pass the UK before too long.
It's probably not that, but (separately) both the Democratic Party and democracy for the same reason: if Republicans successfully engineer (what's effectively) a one-party state.

Regardless if the dems still exist in name or not, both them and democracy are done.
Not really. This is referring back to the 80's. People weren't even doing 'ML'. And back then people were more focused on teasing out 'laws' in as few data points as possible. The focus was more on formulas and symbols, and finding relationships between individual data points. Not the broad patterns we take for granted today.
Wasn't 2022 a huge outlier because of the war in Ukraine?
The mechanical force from the other pilot pulling up (as if his life depended on it) might very well have “convinced” him.
Well, I guess that shows our collective feeling toward democracy. Is it too much to hope that USAv2 adopts a parliamentary form of government? Or is it necessary to step through an authoritarian phase first?

For the sake of my kids I’m glad we live in a blue state, so we might be somewhat insulated from the immediate consequences. Even then, I’m glad I’m a gun toting liberal and have the means to defend myself against those who wish me and my family harm.
>repubs aren’t pro russia

They sure are for the right price.
Can't tell if you're criticizing the Democrats, or the Republicans.
The economy I think was the huge sticking point. You can't have everyone in your party saying "the economy is good, it's growing better than ever, look at all the jobs, etc." while literally no average person is seeing that. They are so out of touch that they think if finance/econ majors on tv say the economy is doing good than it's doing good.

Compared to pre-pandemic
- Housing prices have shot up incredibly
- Loan interest rates are two or three times higher
- Every day goods are higher
- Car prices are higher
- Insurance is higher
- Utilities are higher

And that would be fine, prices go up over time after all, but all of that is on the back of pay, that for most people, has not gone up anywhere close to enough to cover all of that, if it's gone up at all.
Show HN: I Built a Free React Native Shadow Generator
Hey HN,

A problem i always have when building mobile applications is with "box shadows", that's why i build a free tool that generates shadows for both platforms, iOS and Android!

I Would love to hear your feedback and what you think can be improved!
But Go's defer operates at function scope, which strikes me as the same kind of unfortunate mistake as JavaScript's "var" hoisting.

The problem is, even when there is never the plan of having an abortion, healthcare support for women suffers greatly from the abortion plans. Because it gets legally problematic for doctors to provide healthcare for women. Sooner or later you will have a patient with a medical emergency during a pregnancy. There are already enough incidents where critical ill women don't get medical treatment because they also are pregnant.
No. The Constitution doesn't bar convicted felons from running for office. Perhaps it should but that would require an Amendment.
I totally agree, but I’ve also worked on a project with 0 customers spending about $2M/year on AWS, and there was absolutely zero incentive from the stakeholders to reduce the cost. There’s a certain disconnect between boots on the ground engineers, and decision makers when it comes to infra management.

I really hope you are right about that. I worry because I listened to what he said...and he said he wants to use the military against the "enemy from within, and named specific political opponents and mentioned media figures.

I tend to believe him when he says that's what he wants to do. But you are right, one would hope the military would refuse such an unconstitutional order.
I mean.. it is technically not inaccurate, but it fails to account for the remaining portion of the balance of power.

That said, there were very few moments, where a given party had house, senate and presidency at the same time. And most of those moments were divided almost evenly in half so breaking ranks had a big effect.

I think what I am saying it is a tired talking point.
Either your state didn't make the information available to anyone who claims to a political activist, or you managed to avoid having a phone number linked to your voter registration.
If the tariffs are as agressive as promised china may drop its emissions? I don’t know what hope to hold onto anymore.

As a foreigner, I honestly can't see the difference between "want only the migrants that pull their own weight" and "hate foreigners but refrain from saying it to their face if there's a financial incentive".

If your tolerance is predicated on me giving you money, I'll pass the opportunity.

Democrats insisted on COVID restrictions that were more like religion than science and then they just stopped and everyone was fine. The medical outcomes good and bad still happened, some of them just delayed.

The length and intensity of the restrictions were unnecessary, and the economic consequences of giving away trillions of dollars during them are why we’re in this economic situation.

What would have changed if the restrictions were 6 or 12 months shorter? Nothing.
Yeah, it makes sense what you're saying
We would expect the several attempts by Republicans in government with as much access as possible to hunt for fraud to have found more than trivial cases of it, then.

They’ve been beating this drum for what, fifteen years at this point? More? They should at least have found smoke, if not fire, instead they just keep saying they smell a raging forest fire and coming back with single burnt matches when given the reigns of government to go look for it and tell us what they find.
Then all those people are in for a heck of a rude awakening. I can tell you what’s going to happen to the cost of everyday goods with a 100% tariff placed on top, and the answer isn’t: they’re going down.
I'm trans. Yeah, the message is clear, alright. This country either hates us that much, or is just that willing to throw us to the wolves.

I'd go for a more obvious explanation. It's not uncommon for people to adopt more extreme and conservative POV as they get older. Social networks don't help.
> without investing massive amounts of time into debugging

Again even if you are going to spend sometime to learn something that will have better tool for doing that like uv and poetry package managers. This is no massive amount of time. And eveb pip freeze is just one standard command and will give you portable environment be everything will be pinned in your environment. You just don't want to do everything with system global environment which is a common sense not a huge ask.

So I am not sure what is the massive amount of debugging needes for that.
Then you should have a stronger notion of "explanation". Why were these specific neurons activated?

Simplest example: OCR. A network identifying digits can often be explained as recognizing lines, curves, numbers of segments etc.. That is an explanation, not "computer says it looks like an 8"
As someone who researched this, you have three options: Golden Visas (expensive and being phased out, but good if you have ~$500k sitting around in cash), Ancestry (a recent direct relative who was a citizen of that country), or asylum.

For LGBTQ+, asylum is the likely option, but one that cannot be exercised until you have demonstrable proof you’d come to harm here in the States. That’ll be easier for folks in Red States whose policies are already openly hostile to our mere existence, but you’d likely get pushback since there are other states to move to and the Federal policies remain unchanged at this time.

Right now, your best bet is to sit, analyze, and prepare. Get your passport and make copies of any identity documentation. Be ready to leave at a moment’s notice, because we don’t have the luxury of believing that man, his party, or his electors are just joking around or otherwise not serious.

EDIT: one other thing you can do is get the hell out of a Red State ASAP and move into one of the “Blue Fortresses” of New England or the Pacific Coast. Equality Map has a good breakdown of states’ laws and protections broken down into LGBTQ-specific categories, and that’s going to be of critical import if Federal protections are tossed out. Those areas also have the added benefit of plentiful immediate transportation options out of the country, either by land, sea, or air if need be.

FL had 57% in favor but needed 60 for an amendment to state constitution. Generally speaking it seems that this issue has popular support, which hopefully counts for something.
Using a pure supply argument for the labor market is the worst possible one to do it on. It's usually okay, but labor is people, and people are the source of all demand, so you really have to consider both of them.

Also, I'm going by empirical studies here. Those are better than beliefs, because truth is stranger than fiction.
I never said that there is a link between career politicians and unproductive societies. I said that whenever there is a productive society, there will be career politicians leeching on it.
I'm from Michigan and this whole debate looks a lot like ones that I've seen talking place about "buying American" my whole life. At one time in my hometown, you would worry about getting keyed in parking lots if you drove a "foreign" car. I'm told that even earlier, Fords and Chryslers were at risk (it being a GM town).

Ultimately though, even the "Detroit" automakers decamped, first from the cities themselves to the suburbs, then to nonunion states in the South, and finally to Mexico and overseas. Meanwhile, foreign automakers invest heavily in their North American facilities.

There's nobody keying Hondas in the high school parking lot during home games anymore.

The point is that, no matter how much we want locally made cars, and to take pride in the work and industry of our neighbors and countrymen, we can't impact this as consumers. Moralize all you like about your car purchase, but your behavior one way or another won't stand in the way of transnational capital flows.
This word really means nothing at this point, like racist, it's so misused that it has lost its meaning.

Hi do you mind sharing more what you mean by "the api makes excessive calls"?
This is not true. Their identity politics stances are widely unpopular across the globe, and you won't find another country where they are represented in political discourse.
Trump doesn't care about anything but himself, of course.

But the judges he appoints do. And if his first term is repeated, he'll again just appoint the far-right judges that republicans hand to him.

You're right, some things will be left up to states and I think we'll see more state divisions and self-sorting of people among states.

On abortion, it will be interesting to watch republicans fight over trying to push a nationwide ban. Trump is savvy and powerful enough to squash that, probably.
Where I'm from the shortage of supply is also due in varying proportions to: too many airbnbs and secondary residence, rural flight, families being split in multiple households, increase of average home size, etc. Immigration certainly plays a part, but likely not as much as you think.
You don't see any similarity between immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country" (from Trump) and "Look at the ravages from which our people are suffering daily as a result of being contaminated with Jewish blood" (from James Murphy's English translation of Mein Kampf?
It's not "doing what the people want", but it's "telling them what they want to hear".

>What I'm trying to grasp, is how men perceive they're being discriminated against

For example, there are scholarships and conferences specifically for women, even in spite of college numbers now drastically already favoring women.

I feel as though as a white male I am very heavily discriminated against in the academic job market. I'm certain that if I had a vagina, and all else were equal, I would have 1000x the job prospects in academia. No, I can't prove this, but I know a lot of other men feel the same way.

> Broadly speaking the entire developed world is further left than the US on workplace/business/union policy issues

This is what's crippling them. We initially built the social security net to counter this issue. Then we increased employee rights to maximum levels. I think one of either would be beneficial, but not both.
