I think this short video explains a lot - basically the establishment Democrats look after their donors & don't do much for everyday people who are struggling economically - hence the appeal of Donald Trump who promises to shake things up & generates hope - for many voters this "trumps" his bad qualities

I'm not a Trump fan but the immigration situation was getting a bit out of hand. It was a bit do you want the US to be the US you knew or have the whole of south and central America move in.
Noway JD has the charisma to pull that off, trump would have to carry out the coup and cement it before another could continue.
Sure, you could call them isolation if you prefer.

Many of the republicans I know sit in a gray area in between, they definitely don't want us involved but they also don't have a strong opinion on the wars either way and see them as someone else's fight. That definitely isn't the main narrative I see in the media, but I personally know very few republicans who care strongly about one side of either war.

That view is a bit like a libertarian anti-war view in my opinion. Its antiwar without attempting to get involved in anyone else's business.
Candidate wins in a landslide election against someone who had not won any votes in a presidential campaign on her own merits ever and you call that game over for democracy?
The USA is probably one of the countries that is most tolerant of illegal immigration. I doubt there is a good alternative in Europe.
Well in 2020 it apparently didn't matter so you should try and stay consistent.
If you are serious about it, which I must at this point assume you are not, you need to at least tell us what is your education level and what are you good at.

It is yet inevitable - but it wasn’t sustainable in the slightest when it was first attempted - Concorde was akin to the Apollo programme, in being precocious and prohibitively expensive due to the technical limitations of the time. It will, ultimately, be little more remarkable than flying is currently, even as we hop around on suborbital trajectories.

It isn’t a question of optimism - in fact, I am deeply pessimistic as to what ML will mean for humanity as a whole, at least in the short term - it’s a question of seeing the features of a confluence of technology, will, and knowledge that has in the past spurred technical revolution.

Newcomen was far from the first to develop a steam engine, but there was suddenly demand for such beasts, as shallow mines became exhausted, and everything else followed from that.

ML has been around in one form or another for decades now - however we are now at the point where the technology exists, insofar as modern GPUs exist, the will exists, insofar as trillions of dollars of investment flood into the space, and the knowledge exists, insofar as we have finally produced machine learning models which are non-trivial.

Just as with powered flight, the technology - the internal combustion engine - had to be in place, as did the will (the First World War), and the knowledge, which we had possessed for centuries but had no means or will to act upon. The idea was, in fact, ridiculous. Nobody could see the utility - until someone realised you could use them to drop ordnance on your enemies.

With supersonic flight - the technology is emerging, the will will be provided by the substantial increase in marginal utility provided by sub-hour transit compared to the relatively small improvement Concorde offered, and the knowledge, again, we already have.

So no, not optimism - just observance of historical forces. When you put these things together, there tend to be technical revolutions, and resultant societal change.

Explain. Did he send their private army to overturn an election? Did they grab them by the pussy? I am glad I have some standards.
> Do you guys got not feel shame if a person with that character and that track record runs your country?

The Donald Trump that your media reports on isn't the real Donald Trump, or at the very least the one his supporters see.

Example: Trump talks to a group of people who normally don't vote, and asks them to make an exception and vote this time, noting that this will be the last time he runs, and so they won't need to vote for him again. The media then takes "you won't need to vote for me again" out of context and uses it to claim that Trump will end elections in the US. People who only listen to the media see one thing, and his supporters (who are aware of the context) see another.
They nominated one of the most progressive senators to ever serve, promised huge changes to Medicaid and home buying assistance, protecting abortion access, and legalized marijuana. Oh, and “believes in democracy”. That’s a lot, lot more than “1% better”
I would suggest you prepare to purchase private health care in the UK given the waiting lists.
Emissions in the US are pretty much negligible compared to China and India. It would have to be a radical shift that is going to take way more than four years to make US climate policy even relevant to the planet as a whole.
Well this is going to be a wild ride.

Dreading it on one level but also looking forward to the entertainment of a watch a slow motion train wreck. If he actually follows through on promises like mass deportation and forcing Ukraine peace that could get intense.
> When you have many more parties, you have a wider spectrum where you can have partial agreement and disagreement with much softer borders between political strongholds, and tribes can incrementally move within the spectrum without having to switch all their beliefs and ideologies from one day to the next.

That is a good theory, but coalitions can also easily create stalemates on many topics and effectively rendering a government incapable of any significant action. There are recent examples in EU countries.
Here is how:

> During the 2015–2016 celebrations of New Year's Eve in Germany, approximately 1,200 women were reported to have been sexually assaulted, especially in the city of Cologne. In many of the incidents, while these women were in public spaces, they were surrounded and assaulted by large groups of men who were identified by officials as Arab or North African men.

And Harris or Democrats couldn't fix this? US had to elect an actual criminal to fix the issue?
AMD keeps on projecting a message of: it's all about hardware.

Many "influencers" have been convinced that: it is all about software - especially in AI. (I happen to agree, but my opinion doesn't matter).

It doesn't matter how well a company is doing if they are targeting the wrong point - their future will be grim. And stock is all about the future.
I hope EU really steps up, because its looking like the start of WWIII, where the EU will have to defend its border.

We all know Putin is not interested in stopping where he is.

I've seen some articles about Trump admin Minsk III and that he'll threaten Putin with blah blah if he doesnt sign up. Its a long shot but we'll see.

I want the EU to really take this seriously. Ramp up arms manufacturing to supply Ukraine will send a message that Ukraine will keep fighting until Russia implodes.

Thankfully the state department doesn't hold the purse strings, though the democratic party did so poorly that Congress may still be willing to approve whatever spending the Trump wants.
> Stop calling working people without a college education stupid and stop alienating men.

Nobody is calling anyone stupid just because of the lack of education.

However the lack of education makes people gullible and easy to manipulate. From bleach as a Covid remedy to marginal tax as a grave danger to working people - you don't have to go far for examples. And when someone does believe this sort of blatant bullshit, then, yeah, they don't come across as particularly bright individuals.
He didn’t or he couldn’t pull it off?
The dems started this when they black balled Bernie in 2016. They were too focused on their own self interest and they are going to reap what they sowed long into the future now.
Dear Salty Dems, downvoting me won't help to hide Harris' incompetency and getting votes
If so, they should move to R2.
Let's vote for a dictator! That must solve it! Last time he was sooo successful.
"When people tell you who they are, believe them."
I can only hope you're right. But I fear that the reality will be closer to simply a withdrawal of US support for the defense of Europe and NATO.

It is ignorant to believe that Ukraine's capitulation would mean that everyone lives happy in peace forever after. Russian officials and national TV have floated the idea of invading Baltic states and other countries more than once. Is the plan to just let them take whatever they want, and condemn any resistance? What happened to defending allies and democracies?
That’s why religious leaders came up with the concept of a devil. So they can always say someone else is responsible for when their god seems to fall short.

Self-awareness itself is poorly defined. So is consciousness, so is sentience, so is intelligence — and by some (but not all) definitions those are four* different things.

Yeah, but how will an attacker know to target you if they don't even know you have anything valuable, and you are flying under the radar, hm?
Maybe we just collectively decided that it didn't matter whether the answer was correct or not.
Don’t bother. It only goes so far as the democrats are demonizing men but there are no examples. The fact is the democrats did not run on demonizing men, the republicans ran on the democrats demonizing men.
We will also blow through any chance of stopping climate change.
Good for them, anyone can see that trump isn't just going to give the zionists everything they want and make it far worse. It's not like he's said as such or anything, and they could have known beforehand.
Atleast Biden Administration is blamed to topple our Pakistani govt.
User above hasn't really given any points to disagree about.
They were interested in winning and I think they made decent moves. Dumping Biden amounted to huge increases in their win probability. A stronger candidate could have bolstered that further but Harris ran a decent campaign. The broader state of the economy and border put them on the back foot so I think they would have struggled with most candidates. Perhaps an outsider similar to Bernie’s 2016 campaign would have had the best shot.
I'm Polish and I'm mega worried about it too. If Trump decides to pull US support for Ukraine and be best buddies with Putin I don't think it's crazy to imagine Poland getting pulled into the conflict within couple years, which depending on how things go could mean the involvement of all of NATO.
We're well aware people are looking to genocide us, yes.
> Hard fact is that Trump presidency delivered actual wage growth for people in many years

Do you have a source for this claim? Covid did end up causing salary increase I know, but we can hardly attribute that to the president
The double standard for Trump vs ANYONE else is mind blowing.
What austerity politics? The US is running a 6% deficit.
lift & shift = move your instances, which are expensive and not at all competitive

cloud native = use more serverless products (pay as you go with no base price)

For instance, one could implement internal DNS using instance which run bind, and connect everything through some VPC, and put a load balancer in front of the instances. One could also rework its DNS architecture and use route53, with private hosted zones associated with all the appropriate VPCs

Another real example: one could have hundreds of instance running gitlab runners, running all day, waiting for some job to do. One could put those gitlab runners into an autoscaled kubernetes, where nodes are added when there are lots of jobs, and deleted afterwards. One could even run the gitlab runners on Fargate, where a pod is created for each job, to run that job and then exit. No job = no pod = no money spent.

Of course, some work is required to extract the best value of cloud providers. If you use only instances, well, surprise: it costs a lot, and you still have to manage lots of stuff.

Did you just imply that these high ranking military officers are not the ones actually defending everyone's freedoms?

Please stop with the talking points and actually think about what you are repeating again and again.
Dear OP, if you don't understand why people are making fun of you, imagine the trump guy that mostly exists in your own heads saying "We must avoid falling into tyranny by leaning into the fuhrerprinciple!"

No US President by design could go against Israel. His SIL is an Israeli American.
I'm watching it for 25 years now, I'd dare say understand it well.

And yes, the EU has a sovereignty problem. However, that is by design, as the member states wish to keep control. It's certainly not my preference, but with the current political climate it won't change.

5.1 million immigrants entered the EU from non-EU countries in 2022, an increase of around 117% (2.7 million) compared with 2021.

The population of Ireland alone increased by 3.5% in 2023 - a 3.5 per cent increase in population in a given year being one of the highest ever for a single country in recorded history.

Objectively, the use of force to eject protestors at rallies is of the fascist mindset. Trump endorses it.

The counter-argument is that a culture of violent police suppression is just modern America, and it’s not fair to tar one particular party with that particular brush.

> From a game theoretical perspective this is a good result.

there is a real not very small risk of the us stopping(1) being a democracy in the next 4 years, and even if not it will nearly guaranteed heal other autocratic rulers weighting that against the democrats learning a lesson they already knew (but might not have listened to) seems like a pretty terrible deal

(1): Assuming you can call a 2 party system democratic, which given how the elections worked out (power dynamic wise) the last few times is clearly not that clear anymore (it still is democratic, but in a gray area). Let's be honest if people had effectively/power dynamic wise more choices (e.g. multiple presidential election rounds ranking of candidates where votes of eliminated candidates spill over etc.) I think non of the last 2 presidents would have been elected.

Perhaps I'm mistaken...but in an ideal forum, comments should be linked to the specific content of the article in question. While I agree that consolidating comments may be appropriate for scientific articles...I believe it's less suitable for ongoing news stories. As new information emerges, comments should be able to address the latest developments accordingly.

Ironically a lot of the American Right was actually radicalized by the 2015/2016 Syrian refugee crisis in Europe.

Tim Pool went from being an #OccupyWallStreet Berniebro to one of the biggest US conservative commentators after he saw brown people in Sweden. The Ron Paul crowd (who pretended to be "socially liberal & fiscally conservative") posted borderline "white genocide" conspiracy theories about what was happening in Europe.

Brown people in Sweden is "an invasion".

Russia invading Ukraine is merely "self-defense against NATO enlargement".

Don't let them pretend they are just isolationists. They explicitly support Russia because of the "white christian" racial identity politics they actually align with.
Just to be clear I am pro-choice and I support mothers and their bodily autonomy.

I think the Dems will continue to lose elections if, in their hysteria, they attibute bad things to Trump that had little to do with him.

If the Dems and their supporters care more about the Two Minutes Hate against Trump than creating their own positive vision of America, then they'll continue to lose.

Americans are a positive and patriotic populace. That's why Trump's "Make America Great Again" messaging resonates with them.
Climate policies were already getting gutted under this administration due to reversal of Chevron deference by SCOTUS (packed by previous Trump/Pence administration).

EPA and other regulatory agencies have been stripped of their regulatory powers. Any “vague” law which was interpreted by agencies can now be challenged in courts.
This has been my thought as well. Inflation was high, so low-propensity voters against the current party show up while those for the current party don't. It will take some time to see what the actual voting shifts were, but the economy has always been an accurate predictor.
I'd point back to at least 2000 and the Supreme Court stopping the count in Florida, but maybe back to when we sabotaged the Iran hostage deal so Carter couldn't have a win
Europe in total has contributed twice as much to Ukraine as USA. And much of that is spending that actually affects their economy, not just “we’re going to give a billion dollars of equipment that we were going to have to replace soon anyway”. I’m not trying to dismiss USAs contribution here but it’s a fact that much of it is really more of a program to modernise the stock of US military weapons and ammunition, which incidentally frees up old stock for Ukraine.

Also keep in mind that Europe now supports Ukraine by setting up arms production within Ukraine, which gives more weapons per dollar spent than donating weapons made in USA or Europe.

That said, while European military spending has improved a lot since the invasion, there’s still a bit further to go and it’s not such a bad thing if Europe is forced to become more self-reliant militarily.

Will be very short sighted for USA though. They benefit on so many levels from Europe being so dependent on USA.
You'd be surprised how many hard-core xenophobic Europeans are there in Western Europe and Nordic nations...
"They are giving more money to people who are already ahead."
They did that three times in Trump administration. Resulting in the largest deficit increase ever...

The pain ahead is realizing China is the new superpower. Tawain won't make it to 2028.
The dividing edge is if you believe a nation is a people or if a nation is a country. But if you believe a nation is a country - ie its geographical borders, then why does it even matter if people live there or not?

Since we're already treating people like cattle ("we need bodies") to be moved around at will here, then we might as well make a comparison with a cattle farmer. If his cattle are not reproducing and thus are dying out, what sensible person would suggest that the solution is to get cattle from other farmers? When is it time to ask why his cattle is dying? Is it because they deserve it? Is it because the farmer needs the milk more than the calves?

I personally want my people to survive and not join the scrolls of history on the long list of exterminated tribes. If we have to survive outside of our current geographical country in a different place, then that is preferable to extermination.
logic is data and data is logic
I genuinely hope Trump's plan works to alleviate this but I don't think even rampant protectionism can put the cat back in the bag for the heyday of American manufacturing. I expect it to go about as well as it did for the Soviet's insular economy.
> It's not like you can rely on Rust references and C pointers being identical in the ABI either.

You absolutely can rely on that: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/type-layout.html#pointer...

In fact, it's almost even best practice to do so, because it reduces the unsafe needed on Rust's side. E.g. if you want to pass a nullable pointer to T, declare it as e.g. a parameter x: Option<&T> on the Rust side and now can you do fully safe pattern matching as usual to handle the null case.

Want to use some Rust type (not even repr(C)) from C? Just do something like this:

#[no_mangle]
pub extern "C" fn Foo_new() -> Box<Foo> { Box::new(Foo::new()) }

#[no_mangle]
pub extern "C" fn Foo_free(_: Box<Foo>) { /* automatic cleanup */ }

#[no_mangle]
pub extern "C" fn Foo_do_something(this: &mut Foo) { this.do_something() }

all fully safe. Unfortunately for the OP, Vec<_> isn't FFI safe, so that's still one of those cases that are on the rough side.

Further, the democrats have been in power for 12/16 years, and multiple years controlling all 3 houses. They did nothing to help with Women's healthcare. I have followed the issue closely, and I still don't understand what they Dems were going to do to keep abortion legal. If it's a state issue, how would the President change anything ? If it's national issue, why haven't they already done anything ?

Very few of the things you’re listing are caused by immigration. They’re caused by institutional neglect. The person telling you they’re caused by immigration has no intention of addressing the institutional neglect, because that doesn’t get them power.

Meanwhile, the services you need, right down to food, are supplied in many cases by immigrants. So it’s working for the average person extremely well.
