It doesn't count. It will never count. Even if they see it, they won't acknowledge it. It's not hypocrisy, it's loyalty. The only real sin is disobeying the hierarchy or breaking the chain of command, which is what calling it out would be for them.
> The dems will likely stop anointing people.

You assume the dems will learn from this loss, which is a big assumption.

> We never have to sit through a Trump election campaign again.

If Trump is alive and well in 2028, I'm sure he will try to run again (ignore rules or change them). But, he also said you'll never have to vote again after this one, so we'll find out what he means by that.
> Just because your have an opinion doesn’t make you an authority on what people under other life conditions need to lead a successful life.

That has nothing to do with anything. Every single person voting on the economy for Trump, blaming Biden for inflation is an example of a lack of education. Just for one example.

There's a reason college educated people vote so differently to non college educated people on average.
Small caps?
> Or educate and persuade?

There's a lot of people around me who are actively against education, or attack facts because they don't believe them, or vomit opinions as "facts".

It's practically impossible to persuade people like that.
> What can you do about a low information voter?

You can cite various statistics to a person up until the point their car or house is broken into. Or, until they don't feel safe at night any longer in the neighborhood they grew up.

We can double down and say these are "ignorant" voters, maybe even insult them, but I doubt that will help win them over. Even worse, it will alienate them.
Maybe the problem is with all of you trying to reduce this to one dimension.

They can't and they won't.

Sending more munitions to Ukraine means it takes the Russian military longer to overcome the Ukrainian army by force of arms. The unstated aspect that is often glossed over is that this requires more and more Ukrainian men to be forced against their will to die for the territorial integrity of the country (because in 2024 the Ukrainian military is fueled overwhelming by conscription, not by volunteers). It's bizarre to me that is considered a "pro-Ukrainian" take. It's like egging on Paraguay during the War of the Triple Alliance to keep fighting, no matter if ~70% of your male population dies in the process. Just don't surrender!
- "For example, if we need a gigawatt of energy (10,000 people at 100 kW each) and space reactors weigh 150 T/MW, we’ll need to salami 150,000 T of reactors between 1500 Starship flights..."

This is not a good estimate because the scaling laws you should be looking at are very strongly sub-linear. It's a major error to take a 10 kW design and flatly multiply it by 100,000x.

This[0] is what mass-optimized, gigawatt-scale space nuclear reactors look like. They don't need 1,500 starships; they would fit inside one—they were designed to fit in one, because they are rocket propulsion engines.

([late edit]: Anticipating the strongest criticism: these weren't electricity-generating reactors, true—but those subsystems can be highly miniaturized as well. The power density of gas turbines is incredible. A single Starship has 2 gigawatts of turbopump shaft power, distributed between its 30-something engine fuel pumps).
Very cool knob. I would love to interact with this type of feedback (where it makes sense).

Funnily enough I recall using something less cool looking in a BMW 5 series from almost 20 years ago. The knob would stop rotating at the end of menu lists on screen when you could scroll no further.

It made sense, but I recall it being so novel that I spent more time trying to make it NOT move than actually just using the menu system.

BMW stopped using it for some reason.
If you want to go faster, you need more fuel, and eventually you max out the biggest rocket available. Clipper is the most massive planetary probe ever-- they had to use falcon heavy in fully expendable mode to get it up there.
A second Trump term comes with unacceptable risks
Im suggesting an election is not a random event. Sampling error terminology is being mistaken for probability of the underlying thing.

There was no 50/50 chance of the voter base waking up and instead voting for Kamala yesterday.
I think we're more likely to see AI-based automation further take humans out of the loop at chicken factories.

That being said: I personally think it makes more sense to lower the cost of plant-based proteins. It's always going to be cheaper when we eat the plants directly instead of having an animal convert the plant to protein.
Who is defining what is misinformation? It would be easy to reframe such that the opposite can be just as “true, “ depending on your perspective. For example: Trump turned out not to be working with Russia, despite the media and politicians constantly saying they had evidence. Trump started zero wars, despite fear mongering that he would start World War 3. He ended the tensions with North Korea, despite pundits saying diplomacy doesn’t work with dictators. Arguably all of that was misinformation, so one could argue the opposite of what you said is also true. Whomever defines “misinformation” can make that statement with full confidence and be correct in their own mind every time.
I'm not American either, but I don't believe the problem is with the American "left" here. If half of America has really been brainwashed into thinking Harris is a communist, I'm afraid this country is lost.

If anything, my advice to democrats would be to start playing "dirtier", I haven't seen anyone take advantage of the recent links established between Epstein and Trump, for example.
This article is amazing lol, even with its satirical themes, I do think it's a sentiment many of us can agree with, I dont think it's nearly that bad, but I think developers are too unwavering with how their website performs (I had a stroke writing that word omg), because 'it runs on my machine just fine', and '1mb of javascript really isnt that much more', we need to get JavaScript off the server, or dont I dont really care. One message from a friend in a discord server when I shared my ideals with no JS on the server was "but sure, let's all go back to using flash", because JavaScript is so convenient, and when more and more companies are looking for fullstack web developers, not having to be familiar with a verbose Go, a more systems oriented language like Zig, or a whiny Rust, is how you get fast developers, but a 'LGTM' website performance.
Economists are tea leaf readers. For any given economic plan you have economists giving their endorsement. “Kamala’s policies were explained and even endorsed by economists” is a non-statement and you can replace “Kamala” with any presidential candidate in the last 50 years and it will remain true. I think the President gets too much credit for both good and bad economic situations, but the fact of the matter is that the average American feels the economy is terrible after 4 years of Biden policies and that is going to look larger than promises of future policies.

On the issue of identity politics, Democrats have been all in for nearly a decade, and only in the last year or so, when it has become apparent they are out of step with the majority of Americans, have they begun to back off. It’s not unexpected for the Republicans to now be the ones bringing up identity politics given how closely the Democrats have aligned themselves to it for so long, and the current backlash towards it. The damage is done and it will take many years of priority shifting for Democrats to get over it.
Ironically wage gains have outpaced inflation in the last 4 years, but that's such a minor effect compared to the lost ground over the previous 40 years that it's not noticeable.

They've been pretty good for some people.
Obama was chastising black men the past couple weeks for not wanting to vote for Harris. And what a surprise that they went hard for Trump instead.

I’ll take that bet. Business will adapt and at least Apple was able to change the plan in the last Trump admin. But Tim Apple will be talking to Musk now, not Trump.

I wager that the fees for H1-B and O-1 will rise prohibitively, or be selective to big businesses.

Tariff strategy will be imperfect, so mundane things like cell towers, routers, etc. won’t be upgraded at the pace we’re used to. I see an opportunity for state-side cybersecurity business and medical supplies.

Domestic companies can live off new Federal contracts without innovating. I see an opportunity for firms based in loyal states.

Robert F Kennedy Jr will remove fluoride from water systems that the Feds run. Maybe we should be getting it from supplements anyway. Opportunity there.
Of 5 years ago, maybe.
Getting a block of voters to support you is very different from actually doing right by those voters in the long run. If the Republican party doesn't end up doing much, or anything, to help the working class voters that Trump brought to the table they'll lose those voters eventually. Its just a lagging indicator since it first has to become clear that the party isn't actually on those voters' side.
> it was organized left-wing efforts that created the superior life-work balance and healthcare in Europe

The US economy thanks you for getting out of the way, I guess. Americans aren't flying to Europe for healthcare - it's the other way around (if you can afford it). So it may be "superior" in the sense that you're just paying for it your entire life via taxes instead of at the time of service and through employer-subsidized insurance, but it's not "superior" in terms of care.

Politics shouldn't be anyone "vs" anyone else. It should be "how can we fix what's broken, how can we make what's good even better." Trump's message was largely "here's how I will fix the economy" and "here's how I will fix the border." Harris's message was "I'm not Trump" and "I won't change any policy of the Biden administration."
He does move his mouth a lot but I wouldn't call whatever sounds he produces "coherent speech"
Last I checked was in the US, 2008.

I was going to be traveling overseas, and was worried it would be required by a foreign country. I wanted all vaccines handled by my American GP, so the records would be in one place. I was very insistent: "Give me every vaccine for every country."

He said if I wanted the vaccine that bad, I'd have to get it overseas.
I know article authors don't write their own headlines, but for all who read this: it's about out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, which can be caused by a heart attack, but is in no way the most likely presentation of a heart attack.
He claimed “more prevalent” not “only white collar does x”
I think there is objective truth but our individual viewpoints only glance off it… so maybe it’s more correct to say, “there is no objective truth that can be known.”

I think even folks who hate, fear, are violent, got that way through some experience. Is that experience invalid? They’ve seen and experienced a world others haven’t. It’s real to them.

Is morality grounds to discount a real perspective?

In my opinion it may be enough to discount it on some matters but one false belief in a sea of a human’s opinions is not enough to discount all of their viewpoint outright.
I know this will sound like denialism but data on crime that claims it's going down doesn't match my day to day experience and so I tend to believe something is wrong with the data.

Ideas that come to mind are (1) reclassifing crimes as not crimes - instant reduction in crime in stats but no reduction in actual crime and victims (2) less reporting because of less enforcement as in police don't enforce the laws either because they don't want to or because there are less of them so there is less reportihg (3) less reporting because of uselessness. if you don't believe the police will do anything why report it. Car gets broken into, reporting is a chore that produces no results, reporting to car insurance just raises your rates.

Etc... as just one example I recently rented a car at SFO and there were signs saying don't leave anything valuable in your trunk because of theft. that's effectively saying the government isn't working to prevent this crime so the criminals are winning so you can no longer use a car for one if it's intended purposes. In can fully imagine in 20 years we'll be told not to store any valuables in our houses. that not how it should work.

I lived in the mission in Sf. Crime is way worse today than 20 than ago, any stats that claim otherwise are lying
It worked for (most of) Eastern Europe, South Korea, Taiwan, arguably Mexico.
The way you are framing it suggests if the government (or another company) doesn't catch you and punish you then it's legal. Again, that is not "using" the government, that is committing a crime and hoping to get away with it.

This is clearly illegal, the fact that nothing has been done about it yet says nothing about it being legal or illegal. Just because a crime has been going on for years or is difficult to prove in court does not mean it is not a crime. As we type there are multiple monopolies that are illegal and could be tried in court but aren't. Those companies are not "using" the government to get away with it, they are using their money and influence to escape consequences for as long as possible. Again, call it what it is. A crime.
And even if they were low by U.S. standard, they're still much higher than other countries, and much higher than people would like. Imagine if someone responded like that to other issues:

"I think we should do more to reduce childhood hunger."

"Childhood hunger is already lower than it used to be, you must be a low information voter."

**

"I think we should do more to reduce traffic fatalities."

"Traffic fatalities are already lower than they used to be, you must be a low information voter."

**

"I think we should reduce carbon emissions."

"Carbon emissions are already lower than they used to be, you must be a low information voter."

If these are important issues for you, you're not going to want to be on the same team with the people who respond like that.
I guess the US has it's own version of 'Shy Tories' where right-leaning voters aren't inclined to share their views (truthfully or otherwise) with polls.

Yes when I was CPR'd I got broken ribs. It was the defib that brought me round though.

The broken ribs were much more painful than the subsequent ICD implant. Although subsequently meeting the people who broke my ribs was actually a very happy and positive experience.
With Trump’s party platform planks #17, about removing race and gender from school curriculae, #18, regarding a ban on transgender female athletes, and #19, regarding political deportation and “making colleges patriotic”, I believe the culture war is being strongly fought by Trump as well, as much as I wish it wasn’t.
The main group the Republicans were hating on this cycle is illegal immigrants, so maybe GC assumed that's what OP was.
So many times I have seen women say "we aren't ready for a woman president, they're too hysterical"

> Sorry I won’t support terrorism and support what Israel is doing.

This just means you support State Terrorism instead of non-state terrorism.

> Sometimes you have to defend yourself though.

Unless you're Palestinian. In which case defending yourself isn't authorized. Just ask the West Bank residents being regularly killed by armed illegal settlers pre-October 7th how laying down their arms has worked out for them.

He sold pardons

It doesn't matter how many people vote for you, your policies can still be anti-democratic.
In the ideal, populism can be seen as a good example of democracy. In practice, voters just go off of feelings and "he said, she said", at which point it's not about the benefit of the people so much as whichever elites manage to wrest the conch this time. For the most part, the people themselves aren't well educated and able to understand what is actually to their benefit or not, even if they are college educated. Adding to that, people are bad at long-term thinking and focusing on multiple issues. In practice, the outcome is the same.

> Women's healthcare isn't an issue that resonates with young (read: unmarried) men.

This seems to be an oblique reference to something specific about that healthcare. If someone doesn't articulate a proposed specific amount of time or objective physiological thresholds for a procedure, they aren't serious. I saw no evidence for this from either campaign, so I guess they agreed the issue was not at play.
Implying a contradiction reveals the critic’s own identity politics perspective.

The permanent, irreversible demographic shift that conveniently favors Dem politics is only one of the many, many problems caused by turning a blind eye to unprecedented hordes of inherently law-disregarding third-worlders taking advantage of our weak border enforcement.
It's not hard to buy a cheap mobile phone along the way. A lot of soldiers, both Russian and Ukrainian, carry 2 or 3 each.

The NK soldiers could barter for it, if not outright buy it with cash.

There are ways to get both cash and mobile phones that don't involve being issued those things officially.
That‘s the fault of capitalism. Which the right supports even harder than the democratic party (which also completely supports it).
My guess would be what they meant was that they should quit. Ie either you respect the intelligence/morallity of the people who you want to vote for you, or maybe you shouldn't be trying to represent them.

And not quit as in leave only a single party, but quit as in leave a vacuum for another party/candidate/etc to step in.

Note these aren't necessarily my personal views, just trying to help clarify what I believe the commentator meant.
I have another take, the democratic party is incompetent.

If they can't convince voters to vote for them given how bad the other side looks then they must be really incompetent.

What's the point of having all the feel good rallies in cities with famous people if you can't reach people in rural areas.

The democratic party is too elitist, too far from regular people.
I guess you've not been paying attention to MAGA types who equally as much want censorship and who are for any person, corporation, or government who will help them to further their goals on that front. I would love for "MAGA" to come to represent the genuinely good things that Trump said on the campaign trail for 2016, and none of the bad things are associated with the those who claim to be part of "MAGA", but fool me twice shame on me.
Yes, but not differentiated in the earnings reports.
I'm trying to treat people like adults. They're suffering because of worldwide macroeconomic conditions that are out of Biden's control, but Biden's administration has managed to make the suffering less than in other places. Other sources of suffering include policies which the Republicans themselves have been pursuing.

Imagine someone buys a Kia hoping to reduce how much they pay in gasoline; but then the price of gasoline doubles, and they end up paying more than they were before anyway; and so they say, "Kia is a terrible car, it's so expensive to fill up, I'm going to buy a Hummer instead".

That's what voting for Trump in this situation is like: at minimum he's going to enable rich oligarchs to squeeze low-income voters even harder, and at worst he's going to trash the economy by raising tariffs, deporting working immigrants, and politicizing the federal reserve (lowering interest rates and triggering even more inflation).

I think normal voters are perfectly capable of understanding this. It's you who seem to be saying that low income voters are incapable of understanding this and should instead be lied to.
While the other authors are from Tsinghua University, two more recognizable names include Wes McKinney of Pandas and Apache Arrow fame and Andy Pavlo at CMU, who has done some fun work on columnar stores and database optimization.

Always fun to see the mix of authors globally linking up.
They even included one in the article. At least I sincerely doubt that "The Scarlet Bond That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" [sic] was dialogue. Given the context I'm fairly sure it's just the title showing up on screen, but subtitled because it's in Japanese.
With the obliteration of the balance of power by the SCOTUS, extremely favorable SCOTUS judges with a conservative majority, a Senate and possibly a House majority the risks from an authoritarian-loving, narcissistic candidate who has "concepts" of plans, goes against mainstream economics in his economic policy, fanboys over a billionair drug-addicted narcissist who wants to destroy institutions by slashing "100 billion USD per year" from Federal institutions and put RFK Jr in control of the national health who tried to sabotage the constitutional and peaceful transfer of power and who instigated a violent storm of a parliament with casualties involved, the risks have certainly hardly ever been higher?
He stopped talking about it because it was unpopular (because it is ineffective) and was forced.

No other vaccine is given entirely under the pretense that it will basically only be of benefit to other people.

COVID had a 0.1% IFR across the whole population.

If I am 18-30, why would I take a novel vaccine when it doesn't even prevent the illness or make me meaningfully more likely to survive? "To protect grandma, of course!" isn't why we agree to use TDAP vaccinations or formerly administered Polio or Smallpox vaccines.
I can't speak for what it feels like on-the-ground, but the numbers saying American real wages are growing fast, especially for poorer people.
That’s just called good writing. You could decide on a title first then skilfully add it as a quote that servers the narrative. Again, as an audience member you don’t know¹, except when it’s glaringly bad. It’s the toupée fallacy.

¹ I hope it’s obvious I’m excluding cases where someone deliberately seeks behind-the-scenes information. We’re talking about having only the result of the work as context.
I agree. American has more wealth than ever but it's not distributed. All these issues that serve to distract people from the one thing that will make the biggest difference in their lives: personal economics.

Elites are really good at doing that. Go pay attention to China, Russia, gun control, birth control, diversity, BLM, transgender rights. Meanwhile, I will continue to disproportionately take more of America's wealth.
You are capturing why I think abortion is a good wedge issue but a poor campaign issue.

* Men aren't directly affected by it (~50% population)

* Woman over 40 aren't generally affected by it

So woman between 18-40 who can vote are the group most affected by abortion policy. And as you point out, even they aren't directly affected until they actually need one. So the skin-in-the-game for most people is very low. Most people vote and are opinionated on it as a sort of proxy for woman's rights.

However, some issues like house affordability, crime, employment, etc are very high for skin-in-the-game. People are currently affected or know people currently affected by these issues.
"We thought we used large amounts of data at the time."
