Bernie Sanders is that strong personality, but he got shunned from becoming a candidate because he's too opinionated. It feels like the democrats push for a centrist candidate because anything more progressive/liberal/left will scare off the moderates. But the dems have so little to work with.
The funny thing is that Labour is now 100% "like the Tories". It's the Tories who are no longer "like the Tories" and have morphed instead into a rabid populist party without real politics that bank instead on identity politics.

And then there's Nigel.
I’m not, I’m well aware of the boring shifts in policy and law over three or so decades that have gotten us to fighting phantoms instead of trying to decide whether incentives or mandates are the right way to achieve greater healthcare access and lower costs, or what have you.

Ask HN: How to Hibernate Mac Studio?
Windows has feature where it pauses all running apps, and shuts down the computer. You can remove power, and then when connected back, it resumes wherever it left of. Even maintaining clipboard content, you can even resume unsaved games.

Closest I found in MacOS is reopen previous windows, which just launches the launcher of few apps I use, but doesn't actually resume.
These situations aren't really comparable. Clinton questioned procedural issues and the popular vote outcome, while Trump's actions following the 2020 election (including his continued denial of results and attempts to overturn them) represent an unprecedented challenge to American democratic institutions. It's deeply concerning how many people continue to accept claims that have been thoroughly debunked by election officials, courts, and independent observers. This erosion of trust in democratic processes and willingness to embrace demonstrably false narratives suggests a troubling shift in American political culture. It's a fallen nation.
Virginia was +5 Harris rcp averages.

This is outside of the margin of error.
It sure looks like it, doesn't it. The outlook in Europe is also bleak. The cult is strong and with Trumps victory will only get stronger.
Here's 1 that doesn't think that.

Maybe you just don't know enough Trump voters?
While I agree with you I think you are missing the point made by parent which is seems to me that it's not a psychologically pressing issue.

It still seems wild to me because I don't share that psychology but am probably biased because I live in a place with a social safety net and most criminals don't have access to guns here so crime is less scary to me : Muggings are rare probably because it's not very profitable and is more of desperate/drug-addict thing.

Being a drug dealer seems much more profitable and I don't feel targeted as a person. Shootings remain rare
>And besides, English is the most international language in the world

Yeah, it is - but it doesn't make it right. Say you have a Cyrillic (not only Russia uses it) interface with non-Cyrillic wording. It feels your country is a 2nd hand one (which is likely true but that's not the point). Again the easy to memorize part comes from the fact the native alphabet is Roman based.

I speak there languages but in some places I'd not figure "exit".

Again, I do prefer text labels/buttons - it's just something that doesn't translate well/universally.
It's sometimes written with a capital F because it's a name, sorry if that offends you. I'd like to change them to small letters but can't edit the original post any longer. Other than that, the only argument I can see is an ad hominem, which is kind of pointless. I do have credentials for talking about the topic but I won't bother you with them because it would only lead to more ad hominem attacks.
> The EU was holding world peace.

I can't fathom where you got that from.

> Iraq, war on oil. Isreal funded by US arms

All true, and the EU complicit in all of those. Maybe not by choice (see remark about sovereignty at the end), but complicit nonetheless. You also forgot Syria, Yemen, Yugoslavia and probably a few others as well.

> Russia owns Trump and Russia wants the EU dead.

Sorry, but this is not Reddit.

> By no means should the EU get cosy with the US.

The EU has no choice other than be "cosy" with the US. It's called Pax Americana.

In simple terms, the deal is this and always has been this since WW2 ended: the EU has traded political sovereignty for security, to and from the US.
since I switch between linux and macos a lot I wrote a dotfile function called "clip" that will work the same on both. nice thing is it will automatically paste if nothing is piped to it to copy so there's no need to use separate commands... although I just realized it might be nice to have a "passthrough" mode that both copies and pastes if you add this to a pipeline in order to capture some intermediate part to the clipboard

if [[ "$(uname)" == "Darwin" ]]; then
clip() {
[ -t 0 ] && pbpaste || pbcopy
}
else # assume linux if not macos
clip() {
[ -t 0 ] && xclip -o -selection clipboard || xclip -selection clipboard

Yeah I live rural Ontario. Last municipal election people's lawns were covered with idiotic "Stop Woke" signs. And my parents are in rural Alberta. Oh boy.

Not with a bang but a whimper, etc. etc.
Well at least the trains run...

... yeah, fuck it.
If the immigration is double the normal expected growth (~tripling the growth) it is not really tiny. It may very well be solvable, maybe even easily.
But the problem in many European countries is that "the left" does not even acknowledge that this may be a problem and should be solved leading to many people voting for "the far right" that does acknowledge that this is a problem.
In the US housing may not be the biggest issue, but the result is the same: the average voter can choose between "there is no problem, we can take in as many immigrant as we want forever" and "we don't want immigration".
Alien feel (and even unsettling at times).

I guess we have grown used to this by now, but from the Moon landing pictures, to the Mars rovers and the various asteroid and planetary missions the objects of the Solar system are now vivid, complex and above all, "real" places.
The main question here is:

Did they include into the prediction the fact that in many state mail in ballots have to be counted after normal ballots and that for a lot of reasons Democrats are way more likely to vote by mail.

EDIT: Not that it matters anymore by know.
I guess, from a Western-European perspective, the problem is that with the choice of Democrats and Republicans you get the choice between right-wing and ultra right-wing. Having right-wing politics that funnel money from the poor to the rich, or the tenants to the landlords, is in the interest of the financial backers of both parties. Messaging-wise, the Democrats have always been "more honest" (low bar, it's hard to be more dishonest/convoluted than Trump anyway), so maybe that's why Trump seems to come out ahead there.
If you don't break any rules you shouldn't be adding any work though.
No, they’re relative terms. “Far right” doesn’t mean anything in a vacuum.
Ah great, we can pin our hopes on elon-fucking-musk.

It's fair to say that we're "cooked" in ever sense of the word.
You should look where the economy is growing and where the salaries are growing. It's not uniform at all.

The entire situation (as an EU country citizen who moved to another EU country) and the narratives around it are funny to me because they're the same as the ones going around for years in my birth country.

"Side X should learn they should get better candidates, otherwise people are not going to show up" way of thinking included, which has only led to further decline as the "conservatives" win and make the situation worse taking more and more seats and control in state controlled companies while at the same time pushing their own companies to absorb more and more of the budget. Yeah, not showing up because you did not like the candidate was a great success - if you wanted the decline to accelerate, that is.

Well, good luck US friends, to you and us all.
From your choice of candidates, it’s obvious that you don’t mind coarse language or a tell-it-like-I-see-it attitude. I wonder what about your friend’s comment bothered you so much.
The problem is he tried to means-test it, which made it a program that had to go through Congress. If he had just waved his hand and done it unilaterally, it would not have been blocked.
And Trumps proposed tariffs will only accelerate price increases[0]

It’s clear it has support from rank and file republicans as well, it is more than feasible that if republicans win the house too we will see tariffs in short order

You'd need proportional representation or something like the French system or you wind up with very skewed results

for example the UK's most recent election had the following

- one party has 410/650 of the seats in government with a third of the popular vote

- they gained 211 seats from the previous election off the back of a 1.5% swing in the popular vote

- another party has 65/650 of seats with 12% of the vote, another has 5/650 seats with 14.5% of the vote

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
Changing number of representatives would require a constitutional amendment and that wouldn’t have passed with enough states.

I don’t think number of representatives matters as it’s mostly representative of population. If the ratios are the same then I don’t think 435 vs 4035 matters.
It's also a hand out to middle class, who cosume a lot of services provided by illegal imigrants (landscaping, renovation, cooking in restaurants etc.). The Dems kept the price of maintaining a nice lawn low.
I don't think anyone else currently in the party has anywhere close to his charisma or pull, and you can't artifically generate that.

Political ideologies are defined by a cluster of stances that collectively form a narrative. Those stances may individually have some debatable justifications, but it's when they're taken together that it becomes compelling.

It's not just

"there's something wrong in our society"

it's

"there's an insidious dark force at work, it's brought us down from our glorious past, these groups of people are involved, violence against this threat is understandable, only a few men are strong and capable enough to lead us out of this...".

In 1930s Germany and Italy the "groups of people" were marxists, jews, gypsies, homosexuals and a few others. In modern Russia it's LGBT, central Asians, objectors to the war, and various religious groups like Jehovah's Witnesses. For Trump and a lot of Europe's right-wing it's LGBT, immigrants, intellectuals, and liberals (though he calls them communists).

Unfortunately I agree. With things like climate policy out of the way US stocks could end up doing very well over the next couple years at the expense of future generations, and probably the world.
They are, apparently, which is why it's a failure. He was also awaiting trial for interference in the previous election. The irony would be amusing if it weren't so seriously wrong.
I don't think you can.

But good luck trying.
One side has good marketing and the other has bad marketing. That simple really.
..but it isn't doing what the populous wants. It is making it appear to do what they want based on populistic (yet unrealistic) resentments.

Well, as someone who worked in probably the same team that still manages this exact code 10 years ago, I can tell you that I quickly went through the article wondering if it was any of my code, or things I touched.

Back then the team was called Nucleus (hence in one of the responses in the article, the refType was NUCLEUS) who built and managed the backend api for Entitlements, Accounts, and Payments. It was a summer internship, so a year later when they offered me a position on the team, I stareted work there. By then the team was renamed EADP as it was slowly being merged with Origin (i forget what the DP meant, Data Platform?) hence one of the endpoints starts with `dp.`

Though, we did not have a GraphQL db back then, it was all Enterprise Java (OCI, Spring, Hibernate, etc) and some newer Groovy/SpringBoot stuff before I left. Running on datacenter servers (no cloud). But I worked on some fun things. I moved on from there after 2-3 years after some shit hit the fan, but I learned a lot of good backend dev back then from good engineers.

No clue what the team is like today, who the engineers are, or what is going on, but it is a shame to see something like this. We were very security conscious back then, and I even worked on a Bruteforce system to detect and handle bruteforce attempts on our login page. No clue if it is still active or running, but Security checks/reviews were part of our sprint task to reduce the chances and surface area of compromises.
It's a matter of fact that Trump has pulled a huge portion of the working class vote from the Democrats

You probably think the working class is just stupid.

I think the working class is way smarter than you think. If you genuinely explore that possibility you will understand clearly why Trump won.
And I was trying to make the point that it already is a pressing problem for any woman living in those states and of course any male who feels attached to them. Because medical support for women of any age is strongly decreasing.

Yes, but the routine here is still (in decades terms) new. So, declaring things you do which are "normal" is part & parcel of making this experience as good as it can be.

"nothing to see here, move along" is not a good posture. "in case you're interested" is begging a question: should I be? Simply declaring/reminding, to my mind is the best position.

As normal, we're doing the normal thing. this is the gating time. Read more here.

It was partly a global man made issue because every country (including the U.S.) printed COVID money like crazy.

It was the Supreme Court, staffed by Trump, who stopped the COVID madness with their vaccine mandate ruling.

The other issue is that Biden and his cronies Nuland, Blinken, Sullivan et al. deliberately escalated the Ukraine situation in 2021/2022, with the well known consequences. Note that Zelensky himself begged Biden not to be too aggressive at the Munich summit in early 2022! If I were Ukrainian, I'd loathe Biden.

The Biden administration mandated that their EU "allies" would participate in disastrous sanctions, which sent the EU into economic stagnation.

The U.S. is safe because it has natural gas and the reserve currency, which means they can print money more easily. It is not to Biden's credit that the U.S. economy is comparatively better.

I'd say that over 50% of Europe is very happy with the Trump victory, the EU press does not reflect public opinion.
With a straight face and having factual evidence of what Trump did to the Supreme Court, you’re accusing Biden of being authoritarian? Your man is about to pardon himself rather than be subject to the same justice system the rest of us are.
The world we were born into ended yesterday - you'll see how. The world is very likely going to war bc Trump isn't going to do anything to stop them. He said he'd leave NATO - the most powerful military alliance in the history of the world that we own. He is about to dismantle our empire.

I think voting for Trump was in American. I might be arrested someday for this comment.
Not baloney. The culture around data in 2005-2010 -- at least / especially in academia -- was night and day to where it is today. It's not that people didn't understand that more data enabled richer + more accurate models, but that they accepted data constraints as a part of the problem setup.

Most methods research went into ways of building beliefs about a domain into models as biases, so that they could be more accurate in practice with less data. (This describes a lot of PGM work). This was partly because there was still a tug of war between CS and traditional statistics communities on ML, and the latter were trained to be obsessive about model specification.

One result was that the models that were practical for production inference were often trained to the point of diminishing returns on their specific tasks. Engineers deploying ML weren't wishing for more training instances, but better data at inference time.
Models that could perform more general tasks -- like differentiating 90k object classes rather than just a few -- were barely even on most people's radar.

Perhaps folks at Google or FB at the time have a different perspective. One of the reasons I went ABD in my program was that it felt industry had access to richer data streams than academia. Fei Fei Li's insistence on building an academic computer science career around giant data sets really was ingenius, and even subversive.

Yep. The most interesting phenomena in all most all electoral history is the Obama-Obama-Trump-Trump-Trump voters (those that voted Obama twice, then Trump thrice). It is probably 1-2% of the electorate but probably 5-10% in most swing states.

Democrats should study those people very very intensely and understand how they lost them. It was exceptionally radical to vote for Obama in 2008, people were calling him a cupboard muslim and terrorist sympathiser. They really believed he will deliver change and create a decisive break with neoliberal policy (both domestic and foreign), it is quite amazing that exactly these voters would vote 3 times for Trump after that.

Yet apart from Obamacare Obama delivered basically zero change in foreign or domestic policy. You simply can't take voters who went out of their way to vote for you for granted in this way and expect there won't be a backlash.
That may be true of the monthly jobs report numbers (don't remember how they work), but if you need to know then it's not an issue because there's alternatives.

Here's reports for all these that don't have those issues, as they just come from surveys.

> It reports only those actively looking for a job or employed, so it leaves out people who simply aren’t participating in the labor market anymore because they can’t find one.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS11300060

This simply asks "do you have a job", and it's up to the people responding to decide if being an Uber driver is a job.

> Average Americans feel the job market today is terrible and largely does not look at part time and near minimum wage work roles growing as a positive.

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS12032196 - % of workers part time because they couldn't find anything better

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LEU0203127200A - % of workers at federal minimum wage

https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LNS12026620 - % people with multiple jobs

All look healthy right now. (Obviously there's a lot more people at the state minimum wage.)

> The jobs report doesn’t disaggregate higher paying jobs from lower ones

That's in FRED somewhere, but https://realtimeinequality.org is an easier way to view it.

Btw, I think focusing on "jobs" isn't the best thing to look at - the poorest people in a country will always be children and the elderly, and hopefully we don't want them to get jobs.
I wasn’t thinking about that at all and don’t think it would -

I was mentioning how things have moved to the cloud these days, and what the implications are for innocent unrelated parties’ data, given that the cloud involves this overlap of data on one device.
They are not saying engineers don't make mistakes.

They are complaining that developers who can crank out garbage with no consequences and take home $200k+ aren't respected as much as civil engineers who have to get licences and suffer accountability and take home less.

The poor baby.
There's 2x the amount of border apprehensions under Biden than Trump. I'm sure more people are trying to get into the country under Biden than trump so let's say the control is pretty even but not uncontrolled.
