> Both parties equally entertain war and I fear any Republican anti-war this time will be pro-Russia and further destabilize the world.

Trump is emphatically anti-war and he's dragging the Republican party kicking and screaming to that position. Just look at his relatively low-war presidency and his rhetoric on war throughout the years.

> I've absolutely no idea how you came to this conclusion

Free speech? The Dems are calling left and right for censorship. The only person that has stopped it is Elon Musk, now a vital facet of the Trump coalition. I have no idea how you can make the case the Dems are the free speech party.

> I'd love for that to be true but I bet they'll be just fine with any large corp that helps them remain in control.

Again, this is something that the MAGA types are dragging the Republicans kicking and screaming. MAGA abhors big pharma, whereas Dems trust it. Was the opposite in 2008 or even 2012.

We like to discuss Trump so much, but a lot of this shift is actually the Dems moving their positions too.
Weren’t most of the COVID handouts done under Trump? I recall people getting up in arms because Trump wanted his signature on the handouts.

Any tips for an app to use on iOS to capture the necessary .ply data?

Scaniverse is a great app by Niantic that can do this on-device, but it isn't very customizable and can't export its raw scanning data (exported .plys do not have the data this editor requires).

I can't wait until people stop saying the guy who won a majority of the popular vote is a threat to democracy.
With a simple majority, they can change the rules of the Senate so that a simple majority will get a bill passed. The filibuster is not in the Constitution.
Likewise in the UK, two on the front, at least for adults. Makes less disruption to CPR if you leave the patient on their back.
The vast majority of the inflation issue can be attributed to supply chain bottlenecks during covid and money printing. I don't think Biden had anything to do with it.

I get your point about people voting for Trump not because he is a white male and Harris is a diverse female. It's a naive view. People overwhelmingly voted Obama in and he's mostly black.

I'm more interested in the facts of the core issue for why people vote for Trump.
"usually faster but not necessarily better"

Here in the UK my wife and I have between us spent a fair bit on private medical care over the last year - in the case of my wife for cataract operation on both eyes and in my case dental implants and related procedures.

What I find amusing about private health care in the UK is that in each case I have ever used it they make it clear that if something goes seriously wrong they will take you to an NHS hospital.
Yeah, they had to fight so hard to get that camera on there! It was not included in the initial designs since it wasn't necessary for the science objectives.
You might not personally but you could keep basting them, it wouldn't turn them into a different dish or completely ruin them if you did. Compare with what would happen if you kept basting bread.

I've never cooked beef wellington so I don't really know, but it seems like it's baked and I imagine you're saying it's basted? As far as I can tell it's an egg glaze, which is not basting. Anyway, worst case scenario, my definition has some edge cases or needs nitpicking over the definition of a baste. This is nothing next to your insistence that a Sunday dinner includes baked beef.
A thousand times this. I don't know that Trump could have done a better job at economic sabotage when in office the first time. Printed trillions of dollars of undirected helicopter money when monetary velocity was low, which immediately went into asset inflation ("the stock market is great"). Then when things started moving again, it all started chasing goods and we got broad price inflation on top of acute shortages. The fact that the democrats just let the republicans hang Trump's economic destruction around their neck really shows how utterly inept they are at messaging. I shudder to think what inflation will be at in four years after a return to ZIRP corporate welfare and the next national emergency that's left to fester.
The article does:

> Unsurprisingly, movies named after one of their characters have an average of 24.7 title drops, more than twice as much as the usual 10.3.

And this thread started exactly with the point of what the article considers title drops.

The article also highlights the interesting case of “movies named after a character with single title drops”. I’m willing to bet that in those movies, if the name is proffered late enough in the runtime, it may feel like a title drop because the the audience suddenly becomes aware the name had never been said before. When the name is said all the time or once but too early (so you’ll be primed to expect it more often) then the effect is bound to be lessened.
Russia denied there was going to be an invasion of Ukraine even the day before it started.

In 2014, nothing was going to threaten the UK's membership of the EU.

In 1989, the Berlin Wall was going to stay put for another 50-100 years.

In 1938, the UK Prime Minister waved paper promising peace in our time.

Nobody saw the Great Depression coming in January 1929.

The mesh of treaties including the Triple Entente was supposed to prevent WW1.

The southern states were convinced they had both legal right to secede and the economic support and military power that the north wouldn't try to keep them.

The British were convinced that democracy was a stupid idea and that the 13 colonies would come crawling back when they realised they needed some proper aristocrats to govern.

The world doesn't much care about things like this, pro or con.

when I'm reading something on my pinenote, I often have a copy open on my laptop (or rarely phone) to look at coloured diagrams but also just to refer to figures without having to switch back and forth. I only take notes in emacs though, having realised that my lifelong dream of digital handwritten notes was just a bit less than practical.
I mean, there's more than one dimension to "the economy". Unemployment rate and GDP recovery is good, inflation curtailed, wages are growing - but obviously not enough. Then Harris proposed a decent policy to improve housing affordability, but that would only beg the question "why didn't Biden do this?".

Basically, too little too late. They fucked up that, and fucked up on the border, when there was no excuse to fuck up. I believe the Harris' policies would have been better for the economy than tariffs and deportations, but it's a moot point in voters' minds.
That is how populism has been branded as bad, to you. By your definition the most populist parties are the republicans and democrats ("denies known truths in favour of superficially popular positions").
Frankly, if wage gains kept pace with productivity gains it’d be a very different and vastly better economic story for the average American. The reality is the recent blip of wage gains didn't make up ground on the last 40 years of stagnation, and it shows signs of slowing in any case, and Americans are feeling that
You are going with the assumption that the election wasn't stolen. If you are correct then Trumo would be taking an anti-democratic position. If the people's will was genuinely to elect him and the election was actually stolen then he would be taking the democratic position.
> I’m not saying that the stats are wrong, but when it comes to politics, you can’t address economic anxiety by just pointing to statistics and saying, ‘Look, the numbers say everything is fine.’

So improving the economy can't address economic anxiety? That's a pretty grim picture of human nature.

For what it's worth, I feel better off than 4 years ago. My investments are up ~20%, which is a lot considered it's all diversified funds.
And because of that, voters have routinely installed the party for 50 years that promises to cut welfare?
And even if it was and watching sport or going down the pub was in fact an extremely safety-conscious environment compared with the sterility and politeness of, say, the aerospace industry, it's not entirely clear how encouraging people to either escalate or laugh off would help them deal with actual danger which generally requires neither of the above...
Can everyone acknowledge that this would have been flagged out of existence within minutes if it had been a story about the opposite result?

That's out of context. He was trying to reach people who just don't vote in general, telling them they only needed to bother this one time and he'll fix their problems (costs, economy, etc) so well they can go back to not bothering to vote.
Yeah, I like a lot about VS code and it feels far less annoying to use. It just sucks that there's no undo equivalent to undo-tree, the Git equivalents are not up to snuff (I just end up using CLI, which is fine I guess). But gptel is also super useful, and there's no good VS code equivalent I've found for that either.

wgrep is nice, I use it very rarely but its useful. I did not know about wdired, looking that up now, looks very cool, you are NOT helping me escape this damned editor..
> The current inflation isn't caused by money printing.

I'm not sure that is fair. Nothing is ever caused by just one thing, of course, but it is unlikely that money printed and given to average Joes was not a significant contributor. COVID relief saw money flow into the hands of regular people, which was quite unlike 2008.

2008 was different as it only went into the hands of the rich. You can print money endlessly and give it all to Jeff Bezos and inflation will never occur. It's just another number in his bank account, so to speak. But if you give it to poor people on the street, soon they are going to start buying things with it, increasing competition for goods and services and thus driving up prices.

Although I would say the biggest factor was the devastating crop failure in 2020 with a dash of COVID problems on top, followed by the EU shutting down their fertilizer plants in 2021, and then Russia invading Ukraine in 2022 which both complicated access to Ukraine food production as well as denying trade with Russian fertilizer. This left food stocks in a precarious situation and thus sent the price of food to the moon. Everyone else followed as best they could to ensure they could continue to eat. Now that we're getting our food house back in order, the inflation panic has started to subside in kind.
> Studies show you've got it backwards. If you let a nurse or programmer into the country, they're going to take a job that's otherwise filled by an American, depressing skilled wages.

But at that same time they're contributing massive amounts to the tax base, furthering society.

Maybe they even start a company, employing more programmers.

They also spend their wages.

> If you let in an unskilled laborer, they're going to take a job that nobody wants.

The price for that work is artificially low because these folks don't have any legal protections of any kind.

Guess what else happens commonly to unskilled, under-the-table labor? Injuries! Which I have to pay an outsized amount for in the form of Medicaid and ER fees.

How much of their remaining income is remitted straight to their impoverished relatives back home?

The frustrating thing is that the economy lags policy, and policy has limited influence on the economy to begin with. Inflation rose because the US consumer was ready to spend much faster than the supply chain could recover from the COVID era. The Inflation Reduction Act could only do so much to soften inflation, but the whole thing was blamed on Biden by the average voter.
I don't buy it. There's a reality distortion field at work here. If Trump had been in office he would he would have been touting the economy as the greatest in history. And 'average people' would have 'seen that' despite not 'seeing it'.
To be fair, it’s not half, and it’s shrinking.

Best bet is to find a way to build up states that can defend those rights and concentrate people there. In response to the evisceration of the federal government, set up equivalent agencies in those states that can do those jobs. The rest of America should be abandoned.
sure: just because you barely have a majority, does not mean you can do anything you want.

Rough maths. 70 mil votes for Tump out of 260 mil 18+ people in the USA, that's about 27%. Around 21% of US adults are functionally illiterate. There's a lot of idiots out there.

I'm pretty much panicking over another Trump presidency, but simply selling every stock you own is almost certainly a bad idea.

First, there's a pretty good chance that whatever else goes wrong the Republicans absolutely care about keeping stock prices up.

Second, even if the market does crash, having an index fund is at least a good way to insure that you more or less keep up with everyone else. E.g. it prevents a scenario where you get dropped into a worse economic situation and then left there when things eventually improve.
Presumably you can also use claß then
Why is this attached to my comment? My comment has nothing whatsoever to do with abortion. (Which I not only do not want to ban, at the very least I'd like it to go back to how it was under Roe v Wade).

My comment was about people misusing the terms life and alive. The correct way to argue that abortion should be legal is not to redefine life and/or alive so that some living cells or collections of living cells do not qualify rather than trying to redefine common terms used by biologists.

The correct way is to argue that we only only protect some cells or collections of cells and not others and then to argue that fetal cells belong in the not protected group. The question then comes down to deciding what it is that makes some groups of living cells protected but not others. Probably the best argument would be something along the lines that before that collection of cells has grown and developed to the point that it has a brain that can think and feel it is not really different from a tumor or other collection of cells that we don't protect.
1. The margin of victory does not matter—If Trump won, the Democratic establishment would have largely accepted the results and if Harris won, the GOP would have fully rejected the results. Everyone knew this was true. There is a fundamental asymmetry in respect for democracy between the parties.

2. Harris actually did just ruin it for women going forward. The Democratic party has now put forward two women against Trump that arguably both failed in spectacular fashion. It's not really clear to me why they did this, but they did it, and I don't know why we'd see a woman secure a major party's nomination for president in the next couple decades as a result.
He said that in 2016 and 2016-2019 were great years for Europe. He won't leave NATO either. He has less room to maneuver than people think.

What he will probably do is reverse the insane foreign policies of the Biden administration and stop the world from burning. I think he'll deescalate the Ukraine and Taiwan situations. Probably he'll not attack Iran either even though he is said to be a bigger hawk on Israel than Biden. But he also has a sense for economics and will not want another oil crisis.
The culture was and is skeptical in biased manners. Between '04 and '08 I worked with a group that had trained neural nets for 3D reconstruction of human heads. They were using it for prenatal diagnostics and a facial recognition pre-processor, and I was using it for creating digital doubles in VFX film making. By '08 I'd developed a system suitable for use in mobile advertising, creating ads with people in them, and 3D games with your likeness as the player. VCs thought we were frauds, and their tech advisors told them our tech was an old discredited technique that could not do what we claimed. We spoke to every VC, some of which literally kicked us out. Finally, after years of "no" that same AlexNet success begins to change minds, but now they want the tech to create porn. At that point, after years of "no" I was making children's educational media, there was no way I was gonna do porn. Plus, president of my co was a woman, famous for creating children's media. Yeah, the culture was different then, not too long ago.
I think "be nice" is already the unacceptable bit, you don't have to go any further.
I think the point they're making is "Walter White is a well-behaved chemistry teacher who resorts to manufacturing and selling drugs after he gets cancer" would still be true even if he stopped dealing drugs after he was offered money.

Not necessarily, but the total number of voters for both candidates is down compared to 2020. This election will be a story of who chose not to vote.

I totally agree it looks totally outdated nowadays and I wouldn't pick it over the other alternatives. It's incredibly how bad it looks if you're going to need anything else than an API.
> I think the bigger problem isn't that the Dems didn't try to take credit for growth, but that they didn't point out that actually things weren't that rosy in 2020 and basically conceded the entirely false argument that Trump's term made the economy better and Biden's made it worse.

This is more or less the direction I was heading w/ my post. I don't think it's a messaging issue per se. Rather it's control of the messaging. The economy in general has been on a steady path for a while, despite ups & downs: it's trending towards a bimodal distribution where certain parties are doing quite well and others are doing less well. But what I've seen the last several election cycles is the indicators that dominate what I see on TV, read online, etc swap depending on who is in power. So my expectation is that literally nothing will change yet we'll be hearing about how awesome the economy is for everyone in several months.
I don’t know if that’s true or not but “sanctuary cities”, “Abolish ICE”, blue city mayors complaining about a migrant crisis, and Venezuelan gangs taking over apartment complexes don’t inspire confidence.
Instead of passing around the capacity in a struct or as an extra out parameter until you call free, could you instead branch on capacity == 0 in get_foos and set *out_foos to a null pointer? Just because the vector struct never has a null pointer doesn’t mean you can’t use the null pointer in your own API.
was going to say, you need to make sure to open a ticket and bring it to the refinement meeting.
To me, this is at the heart of why Trump won this election. I honestly do not believe your grocery bill has tripled. That's 200% inflation, which is an insane number. The statistics we have are that groceries have gone up ~25%. I have such a hard time imagining any combination of products that would add up to 8x the national inflation average of groceries.

But, I also don't think you're lying. I think you honestly believe your grocery bill tripled, and I think a lot of people have a similar internal impression about how bad inflation got. It's not useful for me (or, for politicians) to try and argue it logically. No one can check your receipts from 2019 and 2024 and say, look, things aren't actually that bad. Dems needed to kind of take it at face value and come up with a solution to something that people feel is real, and they just did not do that.

Editing to add: I might as well add the lowest effort source to the ~25% number, which comes from using the search feature of ChatGPT (sorry). https://chatgpt.com/share/672b7e09-4b58-800e-a3df-58f38c33bc...
I expect solar infrastructure for Mars would be done in orbit and beamed down.
On earth, they are produced on the ground and putting them in orbit cost way too much.

If the panels are send from Earth to Mars, then dropping them in orbit mean that you don't have to account for their weight for landing... or don't have to land at all. Park in orbit, drop you payload and back to earth for the next delivery.
I hate when people make me defend Trump.

The "you won't have to vote again" was clearly him saying that he didn't care if the people vote again, because it won't benefit him.

He didn't say that he'd be pleased if the press was murdered, in those words. Though I agree that what he said was awful.

This is the thing about Trump. He says things that are dumb or incendiary, then his opponents make it sound 100x. Then people who aren't terminally online see it and think, "is that all there is?" and it makes them think that he's not that bad, ignoring the actual bad things he's saying.
Both you and GP seem to have stopped reading the article early...

If Apple controls the root of trust, like the private keys in the CPU or security processor used to check the enclave (similar to how Intel and AMD do it with SEV-SNP and TDX), then technically, it's a "trust us" situation, since they likely use their own ARM silicon for that?

Harder to attack, sure, but no outside validation. Apple's not saying "we can't access your data," just "we're making it way harder for bad guys (and rogue employees) to get at it."
