True they are pro-israel, but so is most of the dems. It's the one topic that actually gets bipartisan support.

repubs aren't pro russia. they are just anti-getting-involved in there.
I'm politically the opposite of the person you're replying to, but these two notions are correct and not contradictory. Average people are ignorant and misogynist, and we should acknowledge this and talk about it, but not to their face. If you're not the direct target of the ignorance or misogyny, you should explain to them why their assumptions are false in a dumbed-down way, not using university-level language. Calling people ignorant directly will get them defensive and emotional. They will think they are being attacked because they are a man.

Of course, for people who are directly targeted by the ignorance and misogyny, it's their right to directly call it out, but they might not call it out at all, because they would be targeted further.

I currently still live in New Orleans, and I am willing to bet you the surveillance programs and license plate readers have something to do with it.
Wouldn't it be amazing if we had a viable third party? I can dream, can't I?
It can be the case that immigration tends to buoy wages over all, while there do exist some for whom immigration will depress wages. Again, we’re definitely trying to do this when we craft targeted policies aimed at bringing in or discouraging immigrants for specific professions, and it does have the effect one would expect.

We have a history of doing the Neoliberal “well this will make line go up and we can just help the few whom it harms” and then not helping those few, so I get why people worried their wages might be some of the ones affected aren’t thrilled. Whether most of the folks so-concerned would actually see such a thing, is another matter (I’m guessing not, in at least 95% of cases of people with those concerns).
"Lip-service" is probably a good way to put it, since all those issues are also happening in countries without a lot of immigration, but most people don't look too far outside of their own country when considering problems in it. It is easy to look for a simple to understand change, and lay the blame on it, and people like easy answers for things they would rather not have to think about (like economies).

Most of those issues are probably better explained by the trend for jobs, especially higher paying ones, to be more and more concentrated in cities. There has been almost no policy push to realistically address that from anyone, outside of lackluster and temporary measures to encourage jobs in smaller cities.
> I also do niche research in computer science. People working in the supermarket, people driving trains and busses, medicine workers, construction workers, they all do work that is vastly more important to society than mine.

Today, for sure. I think it's far more nuanced in the long term. Most of these jobs would be non-existent without the researchers of yesterday.

Of course, if you disregard today completely for building the tomorrow, a lot of people who don't get access to wealth today will be pissed. Which is very roughly what's happening in the USA. "What we have now is perfect, and can sustain forever, stop with the progressive BS", chant the conservatives.

It's a hard balance. Dems messed it up, Reps will mess it up further, I bet.

I'm just observing from an another continent.
I salute my brothers in Istanbul, the argentinean peso and turkish lira will fall, but they will have each other again.
> No way that is true if you did it properly.

It's quite easier to mess up in a hyperscaling cloud because it's extremely forgiving. In a different setting you wouldn't be able to make as many mistakes and would have to stop the world and fix the issue.
Like by having money to do things. It might be better to put it into DJT for a couple years, but careful with the risk. I'm sure the markets will be fine short term ... until they aren't. Just as it was before ... and how it is every time modern GOP has power. They crush the economy. All red states are in the shitter. Blue states swim in $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Obama wanted to do that but couldn't
> boys in girls sports

So why can't Democrats just come out against this insanity and take the easy W? The whole, "well it isn't a really an issue" argument doesn't fly when you still demand your way on it.
The first study brought in example literally has to do with low skilled worker, and as seen it does not affect other workers in a negative way (if I'm getting what the guy is saying in his post)
Inflation were caused by mass factories shutdown in China and South East Asia. When they reopen they got so many orders that they simply increase their prices.
Interesting but lacking some information. First up, of course, most people are familiar with rotating the camera rather than a single object. This is how most 3d viewers work, even if the orbit point is locked to the center of an object (e.g. in a 3d product display). So it's important to specific which we're talking about in an introductory article on 3d rotation methods.

But, ok. We're talking about schemes to rotate a single object rather than the camera.

The turntable controls they talk about are a special case of gimbal controls where we lock rotation to one or two axes. But in my personal experience, when it's two or three axes people still call it gimbal controls whereas turntable controls is rotation in a single axis (as if on a turntable, hence the name). But then again, 3d terminology is so mixed up across different fields that maybe some people have only heard the two axes version called a turntable. Not a big deal, but why no mention at all of gimbal controls?

Then, trackballs. In my experience, when it's limited to a single hemisphere of rotation, these are called arcball controls. Trackballs are supposed to emulate a trackball mouse which don't have this limitation.

And finally, no mention at all of the dreaded gimbal lock (where two of axes end up overlaid on each other and the controls loses a degree of freedom), which is a major reason for choosing one type over another.

Overall, not an amazing article. I checked it again to see if I missed anything and realized it's a blog post for some app - so, basically an ad - which probably explains the lack of effort.
He was also completely mental.
How'd she do in the primaries?
Yet the voters don't want to deal with those who actually hoard these limited resources, and prefer to blame immigrants and other minorities
I agree, except we're more like 80 years into elites calling everyone else stupid.

Your first sentence is based, if you can't see how following a couple of simple talking points like "herp derp gas is to spensive" isn't anything but surface level, you're actually stupid, because I'm telling you, there is a shitload more to gas than it coming out of the pump at a price someone wants it to be. You can't just vote for cheaper gas, trump isn't an oil well.
Great to hear of another user :)
Sure, but will it still be considered an all-time high in a year? Will the alternative investment even beat inflation? All I'm saying is be careful. I have experience here, having parked money outside of the market for a few years because of a gut feeling that never materialized. If you don't need in the money in the short-term, the conventional wisdom is "time in the market beats timing the market".
> but of course it tends to depress wages for anyone in sectors the immigrants are landing jobs in. Even NPR admits this, when they cover the topic.

In practice this is not an issue, to the point it's hard to find cases where it ever happened. Collection of studies: https://www.noahpinion.blog/p/repost-why-immigration-doesnt-...

One reason for this is that immigrants have differing and complementary skills from natives - eg just speaking a different native language is a skill - and so they're not likely to land in the same sectors. They're more similar to other immigrants from the same place, and so it's more likely they'd lower each other's wages. I think this is totally believable, but the demand factor is still very important here - one immigrant could start a business and employ others etc.

> If this weren’t the case, there wouldn’t be a bunch of us wanting to loosen rules about foreign-trained doctors practicing in the US.

Doctors in the US are a special case because their number is so limited by the AMA and by (US government funded) residency slots. So yes, this could lower their wages if foreign doctors have similar enough skills to compete with them vs complement them. But it's more important for us to just stop limiting how many new doctors we train.

This wouldn't necessarily hurt them though; I mean it probably would, but if it made healthcare more affordable resulting in more people going to see doctors, then they'd all get paid more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jevons_paradox
Being a traitor working for Russia might be one of them
They're describing "+=" as a single operator, not a combination. "-=" is a different single operator, as is "/=" and and all the others. The first character and the "=" are inseparable, they just have all the combinations defined as independent operators. They're comparing it to a language where the first part (which can be multiple characters!) is actually separate from "=".
Correlation != causation, yet again for billionth time even otherwise smart folks easily do this mistake, usually emotions cloud their rationality. There is 0 proof as in any form of research that proves what you claim, you don't even try to back it up.

All this boils again to emotions - people see french teacher having head cut off by student due to showing muhammad's picture in the class, and this trumps 1000s other data points and discussions. I am not saying such things should be ignored or swept under the carpet, but analyzed rationally, discussed and good measures taken, even very harsh if they are the best course of action. Simple folks don't want to hear arguments, they want to see blood and whole world to fix their lives so they can live like some tiktokers they follow en masse.

For Europe, yet again Switzerland is doing stuff 1000x better than rest of the continent. They have 3x the immigration of average western EU country, yet 0.1% problems with it. But its population is smarter and less emotionally driven, so populists have it much harder here. Also they as society setup the whole immigration as set of rules as expectations that everybody +-adheres to. But EU has too big egos to actually admit somebody is better and just learn from more successful, so they will keep fucking things up till people are so pissed they will vote for people who will do further long term damage but will tackle scary immigration boogeyman.

Now its really not a good time for democracies that don't have well educated smart self-sufficient population, dictators are coming better off.
Your comment is a fantastic display of how easy it is to obscure bigotry with reasonable-sounding window dressing.
In this case the pilot attempting to start flying failed to yell "I have control!". They should have only grabbed the stick after the pilot currently flying said "You have control!". It is quite obvious that the pilot that grabbed the stick simply panicked. If the controls had been linked the two pilots would have fought each other and would likely of produced an equally bad result.

In the AF 447 case the pilot not flying did the request, but did not wait for a response before fighting on the controls. The pilot not flying eventually got control, but the pilot initially flying panicked and started fighting on the controls.

Failure to properly request/acknowledge control handover will often create the opposite situation where each pilot thinks the other is flying. The results of that situation will be the same regardless of any mechanical control linkage.
I'm surprised more people hadn't noticed this switch during this campaign cycle. It seemed pretty clear to me, especially coming off the heals of a pandemic response that saw the democratic party flip so dramatically to blindly trusting big pharma and reaching for law & order as a pandemic response strategy.

The best explanation I heard recently was that Trump in 2016 made a play to pull working class Americans into the Republican party. The party basically clinched its teeth and looked the other way, knowing that they either accept the voters or risk a real problem. Since then the Republican party has largely embraced the working class while the Democratic party continues to favor more and more towards the rich voters and massive corporations, finishing off the full party flip.
Harris couldn't even address her people last night. That pretty much sums up her ability to be a leader. We dodged a bullet.
Yes, a nice boring decline into global irrelevance. Sorry, but being leader of the free world does not allow much room for boredom.
Stocks and ETFs are the same. I don't think the markets will dip now. They will soar until they crash.
Yeah. It's been scary to see how Big Tech and the media presented Trump as a threat to democracy and someone you cannot possibly vote for. It becomes dangerous when one party has that much power and support. It's not a democracy anymore when people are not presented with facts and are not allowed to express their opinions without getting cancelled or labeled a certain way. You can see it even in the comments here: "Far Right", "bigot", "redneck". We should acknowledge that blunt words like this are at a very low level of political discussion. "Far Right" is a particularly nasty label because even a liberal from 2010 would meet the definition as it's used today by liberals.

Look at this [1] - Oprah warning women that if they don't vote they may lose their ability to vote. This is ridiculous. Trump is not a saint and January 6th was a dark moment but they (the Big Tech, the media, the celebrities) blown the negative image of Trump out of proportion and are making stuff up. Whether you like him or not he is the candidate of the other party. There is no democracy without the other party. The reality is that the megaphones have been cornered by a single side and are used in the most unfair way with additions of fake news and negative coloring about Trump and the "Far Right". Elon Musk saved the day by buying Twitter. It's the last social media platform where Republicans and their supporters could have any presence.

There were plenty of reasons to not vote for Kamala. Perhaps the biggest ones are her views that align with communism. [2] And by the way, Merry Christmas! [3]

They all just voted against their own economic interests to win their culture war.

Objectively, they are stupid, even the ones who went to college.

Ah yes, the "you're too stupid or unreasonable (i.e. deplorable or trash)" to reason with so I won't even try argument.

> you’d simply dismiss them

I'm a random internet stranger. How could you possibility know me so well? Again, it's just a blanket stereotyping and demonization of people who have different beliefs that you do. A mass ad hominem attack. That attitude is a root of many problems in the political arena. I expect that kind of rhetoric on Reddit, but am disappointed to encounter it here.

IIRC, Trump gave it to everyone whether they needed it or not. Perhaps there were more that I’m forgetting. But people who perceive themselves at the bottom rung (and are told they are by media and sometimes dems), will see it as unfair if people perceived higher up get something extra.

Of course the super rich are going to get themselves tons of benefits, but that remains in the abstract for most.

Trump may get lucky for the time being on China. They are struggling economically and may not have the desire to pick a fight right now. IMO, countries bordering Russia are under a more immediate threat.
I think progressive American women are generally welcome in The Netherlands?
Leaving policies aside, on purely moral standards, it seems hard to "both sides" this.

The people that attempt this were incredibly bad faith i.e. for example equating Hillary's "[Trump] knows he’s an illegitimate president" which is calling out shady voter suppression tactics and the fact that Trump did not win the popular vote with the staunch denial of the 2020 election result by Trump to this day and the organisation of a (failed) plot to remain in power.
...Brexit not being chaos?
Many of the most expensive cities in the US have relatively low immigration compared to other areas with much more reasonable real estate, and it behooves you to link it where housing is expensive and immigration is very high. You have to actually provide some sources before you throw out blanket comments blaming immigrants for our problems
He also promised a wall that never materialized so ...
Boy what an over generalization.

Most are anti palestine because Hamas is a terrorist. Sorry I won’t support terrorism and support what Israel is doing.

I support Ukraine because I know what Russia needs Ukraine for.

Do I want to see people shooting? No because I’ve been to war and seen how ugly it is. Sometimes you have to defend yourself though.

I still voted for Trump.
Just that this isn't a real issue but a fear topic / terrorism/ propaganda.

The avg joe isn't affected by this.

But hey let's be real here: will the avg American start working all the not so good immigrants jobs?
Because the partied seem to have largely flipped when it comes to platform and Cheney followed the platform rather than the party allegiance.
You cant be serious lol.
Wasn't this number flawed, because it mapped the energy needs 1:1? Like, the efficiency of a heat pump or a battery is vastly better than current motors or burning oil.
Democratic messaging really failed. The economy was a winnable issue for them. Trump's promises (20% broad tariff, mass deportation, make the Fed a political office, trade wars) would devastate the economy and cause significant inflation. Even Elon Musk admits that Trump's plans will tank the economy. https://x.com/whstancil/status/1851265385909092565

Now right wing commentators are saying that Trump won't actually do what he promised.

Most of America 100 years ago was minority enclaves with values fundamentally incompatible with the "old" America. Worked out in the long run because we had a good run of a strong middle class. Money makes everyone merge.

But, the Republicans will just attempt to make the rich richer, and keep the poor and others isolated, then sell the story that the others are the ones keeping the middle class down, not the rich.

>Further, the democrats have been in power for 12/16 years, and multiple years controlling all 3 houses.

When was this exactly? The last time democrats controlled presidency and both houses was during Obama's first term and they passed the most historic overhaul of healthcare in this country, which was a huge win for women's healthcare.
Unfortunately he'll miss e.g. "I'm sick and tired of these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane."
Ireland is a solid democratic European, English speaking country with no significant hard right presence in government.

Culturally I think an American would find it easier to adapt than eg France or Germany. The anglosphere individualism is present but watered down from the American extremes. Bureaucracy is low compared to the rest of Europe. People are superficially friendly, but it can be hard to penetrate social circles as an outsider. It is a more high context society than the US - you will be seen as a loud annoying yank, at least at first, but people can forgive, and you can adapt.

There's a functional social welfare system, free education and free Healthcare. All three have their problems, but are ultimately doing way better than our neighbours in the uk.

If you're black you will experience some racism, but not on the same level as in the us. When people hear you speak with an American accent a lot of that will probably evaporate. If you're hispanic, I don't think it will really register as an issue. Spanish speakers in europe are generally spanish, and are considered European, not some other lesser race the way they are in the us.

With a career in cs it should be easy to find a company willing to hire you, and sponsor your visa. Alternatively there is a special visa system (very badly advertised) for founders to move to Ireland and open a startup. Regardless, once you've been resident for 5 years you have the right to get citizenship.

This is all my opinion as an Irish developer who has been living in mainland Europe for the last 6 years or so.
I know about that, can you explain how that corruption actually makes the US not free to decide not to support Israel?

I'll repeat. The US is free and not beholden to israel. They could decide tomorrow to stop support, they won't, but they are absolutely free to.
Or everyone pays much higher prices.
Because Trump selected career Republicans who still followed the Constitution and law for his cabinet.

This time around: 1. He allowed an insurrection and was voted in anyway, so his extremist followers are emboldened. 2. He surrounded himself with yes-men.
BLS data is public and can be crunched from here https://www.bls.gov, but posing the basic question to ChatGPT:

Wage Growth:

Obama: Modest but steady wage growth, particularly from 2015 onwards. Real wage growth averaged 0.5%–1.0%.

Trump: Stronger wage growth pre-pandemic, with real wage growth averaging 1.0%–1.5%, but the pandemic and high inflation in 2021 dampened these gains.

Inflation:

Obama: Inflation was relatively low and stable, averaging around 1.3%–1.5%.

Trump: Inflation was low until 2021, when it surged to 5.4%, outpacing wage growth.

Real Wage Growth vs. Inflation:

Obama: In the later years of his presidency, wage growth generally outpaced inflation (2015–2016).

Trump: Wage growth outpaced inflation until 2021, when inflation surged and surpassed wage increases.
I think this could be correct if only look at what they say rather than what they do.

We'll see if Republicans in control are anti-war, anti-elite, pro free speech, pro-working class, anti-large-corps, etc.

I know where I'd place my bets on policies.
> don't know what they're doing.

Or do they? This strategy seems to work for them so far.
Not a convicted rapist either.
