> surprisingly the amygdala is inactive and norepinephrine is 85% lower than base waking levels

Why is that surprising? The body is sleeping, your senses are mostly off, reaction times are irrelevant. The brain is not necessarily super relaxed.

I remember that I had to actively react in lucid dreams because my instinctive reactions were slow as fuck.
> I think when they say USA is the greatest democracy they re speaking of its size, land size.

I would say it's the greatest based on how long it has endured for and the impact it has had on the world.
Well, we gonna have 4 years of amazing memes.
As someone who voted for Harris, I’d say trump is less ideologically driven than democratic candidates. He’s insane and erratic, which don’t follow ideology.
Don't really care much about this election since I'm not a US citizen, but I decided to check out Bluesky as the results were coming in and it confirmed my long-time suspicion that roughly 99% of its users are far left American political activists.

Literally the entire discovery feed was post after post of said activists apparently suffering from legitimate mental breakdowns as if the entire world was crumbling around them.
The Joye of Ye Taxes is that you cannot choose to stop paying them just because of a disagreement about how they are spent. Elections need to be won first.
Generally, they mean promoting DIE rather than merit and national interest.
> Unless your theory is that ~11 years isn't enough to change generations in which case there's more than that

For the people holding power one decade is an eyeblink, the only generation change will be when they'll install their own children as a replacement.

> Maybe they didnt understand the impact maybe regulators got paid off.

They got paid off and by Western standards it was a bargain.
>I feel like "stupidity" should not a priori be ruled out as an explanation.

If that is the case, stupidity shouldn't be ruled out for both sides.
This is my conclusion as well. In many other western countries Donald Trump is a badly written movie charagter. In the US he is their best option for a president. "What about those that didnt vote for him" people may ask, but the fact that the democrats isnt able to provide an alternative better than Trump, and haven't been able to provide better politics than Trump says everything.

50% of the voting mass look at Trump and say "that is my president!", and millions cant even be bothered to show up to vote for someone else. This is America.
Firstly, Democratic establishment goes out of their way to not say these. Which is their mistake, GOP has no equivalent problem to accuse democrats of evil.

Second, he literally said he aspires to be a dictator, talks approvingly about dictators, and he does engage in literal extremist rhetoric on his rallies. You can be Nazi, an extremist, a dictator while not being literally Hitler in every single detail.

He likes when people say that about him. Not saying those is just lying, insisting that others dont say those is insisting on everyone lying.
To be fair, that is not easy in any practical sense of the word for most of us.
A friend of mine just sent me an article from a Danish newspaper where they cover the reasons as to why people would want to vote for someone like Trump. They interview Arlie Russell Hochschild who has written two books on the topic: "Strangers in Their Own Land" and "Stolen Pride".

One explanation from Hochschild is that you have a group of disenfranchised votes, who see "everyone else" get to "jump the line" for help. Not only do they get to jump the line, they see the president (Obama back then) help these other people (immigrants, women, people of color, LGBTQ, an so on) move ahead of the line, while they are left behind to fend for themselves.

I haven't read the books yet, but I definitely plan to. From the article it certainly sound like it would help me understand why some Americans vote the way they do.
I'm genuinely curious to hear why it would be so hard to leave the Office 365 platform, to the point that it could mean have to shut down the company. I know it isn't something that can be done overnight, but this is on a whole different level than what I assumed the case to be. To make my question more concrete, let's say the EU gives you two years to move away from Office 365, why would this jeopardize your company?
I mean, I grew up in a conservative state and a small/medium sized city that has always been red. Not every one is a "redneck retarded bigot". I don't think most of them aren't as openly racist as made out to be. Outside of politics you wouldn't even think anything was too out of the ordinary.

That said, I'm not sure stuff like "He's annointed by God", "He tells it like it is/Isn't afraid to speak his mind", "Liberals are evil/devil/<insert literally any reason to hate them> " is stuff you want to hear, but it does represent a somewhat overall sentiment (generalized of course).

More centered around ignorance and perceived old "conservative values". I find very few people actually able to articulate their points.
Republicans perhaps have got value, Trump has got enormous real world value/benefit because of Musk's ownership. However unless Musk is actually able to capitalize using the Trump presidency enough to recoup the $44Billion cash he spent he hasn't got his money's worth it.
... and the network formerly known as Twitter.
Of course not. He was president for four years and yet the press remains what it is. Why do you think he would destroy the free press?
> After watching tons of Mentour Pilot videos (who, by the way, covered [0] this incident) I am convinced that this feature shouldn't exist at all.

There is some selection bias at play here. We don't know how many situations happened where averaging the input was the right thing to do and avoided an accident, as Mentour Pilot does not make videos about those.

I'm not saying averaging is good. I have no idea. But a number of videos about crashes (which I watch and think are awesome) are not a good reason to form beliefs.

> I don't think that I'm smarter than people who originally designed this system.

This sentence says one thing, the other sentences in your comment say the opposite. It certainly reads like you think you're smarter than those people. Which as far as I know could be true, no idea. My point is a disclaimer does nothing if you actually do the mistake you know you should avoid.
I'd argue that anyone blandly categorizing dozens of millions of people who vote for a candidate (including many from communities of color and among immigrant demographics) as just uneducated ignorants is themselves overwhelmingly ignorant.

You can be against Trump for many good reasons, but a good look at why he won is about much more than just deriding his supporters as ignorant.
If the price of a new base clio starts at 20k€ and a Fiat panda at 15k€, than 40k€ is around the correct ballpark price for an eGolf I would argue, relatively speaking.

We could considered the Chinese cars as cheap, but we are than comparing the cost of a price-dumped car from China, to a slightly overpriced car from Germany.

The outlier here is considering a 10k€ car something normal. 10 years ago I would have argued yes, but after the inflation wave of the last few years, that is no longer a reality.

The problem for many consumers, and France is a good example of this, is that the salaries haven't followed. The second problem for France is that a large part of the population is stuck in minimum-wage or close to minimum-wage salaries, putting those goods out of reach as their prices increase with inflation. (Leaving the debate about whether the price increase is the cause or the consequence of inflation aside)
Won’t matter. It doesn’t matter if Harris beats Trump by a billion votes in California.
I'm convinced Twitter single-handedly won the election. Everyone that are pro Trump seems to be coming from Twitter, with the same talking points as Musk. Elon sure got it's money's worth.
No, urban areas voted Democrat once again. If anything, 2024 has really showed the widening divide between urban and rural areas, both in the US and in Europe. Probably everywhere else as well.
Prosecuting Trump in court is not dirty fight. It is something that should have happen, because being politician should not mean being lawless.

I envision actual politicians and journalists calling trump what he is more rather then less.
You mention that the EC obfuscates the popular will, but you ignore that it's a balance that gives a voice to many who would otherwise have none.

Would you find a popular vote system that entirely ignores the votes of dozens of states in favor of just a few somehow carrying less obfuscation of the will of the people?
I was experimenting with Python for some personal data-based project. My goal was to play around with some statistics functions, maybe train some models and so on. Unfortunately most of my data needs a lot of preprocessing before it will be of any use to numpy&co. Mostly just picking out the right objects from a stream of compressed JSON data and turning them into time series. All of that is easy to do in Python, which is what I'd expect for the language used this much in data science (or so I've heard).

But then I do have a lot of data, there's a lot of trial&error there for me so I'm not doing these tasks only once, and I would have appreciated a speedup of up to 16x. I don't know about "high performance", but that's the difference between a short coffee break and going to lunch.

And if I was a working on an actual data-oriented workstation, I would be using only one of possibly 100+ cores.

That just seems silly to me.
Trying to apply that stereotype to Elon Musk and Tulsi Gabbard seems awkward — both of whom endorsed Trump.
There is just no upside to founding your tech startup in the EU. You'll just be at a disadvantage. And as long as we have a unified US/EU market, this is not something that can be fixed. This has always been the downside of any kind of trade agreement that opened up the markets to foreign competition. Typically, the two parties pick winners and losers. Europeans export cheese and wine and Americans export Google and Facebook.
GDPR et. al. does not fit for the US big tech since you need to respect the user.
Is not only americans. Is most people, but they are afraid to tell and being labeled as biggots.

Is a lot a things, economy for sure, but the demiocrafts passed 4 years calling half the country nazis and facists, and denying things that everyone could see like Biden health issues. This comes with a price.
It works well for GOP. It is literally key to their electoral success.
There it is. I don't think it's ad hominem to point out that a financial services firm operating under the CCP regime may have a bias that could affect their analyses.
This is the outcome of almost all of her crash analyses. They're all worth a read IMHO

> Trump-hating FBI disagrees

I think citation needed here that FBI or any law enforcement agency for that matter is anti-trump.

If anything given their deep racial history not that long ago, I would characterize them as very pro trump.
"The thing that baffles me is that good and serious people have seen versions of what happened tonight in the US for eight years and are still surprised that people don’t see the world as they do.

1) Voters think “the economy” is “can I afford to live” NOT “we are doing better nationally than others”. Inflation is politically more important than GDP

2) Immigration matters, both the sense of control/uncontrolled and the raw numbers, particularly when money is tight. See 1

3) Don’t take voters for fools: in this case don’t insist a clearly gaga leader is up to the job

4) Don’t try to fight a charismatic opponent with someone who can’t answer basic questions about why they want to be in charge. The ability to communicate is not an optional extra for politicians, it is a core part of the job description

5) Go woke, go politically broke

6) What the metro elites regard as an illogical vote is not necessarily illogical for people who are struggling and angry - see 1,2,3,4,5
Personally I think democracy matters very much and some/much of what Trump says is appalling but until his opponents learn the lessons above, voters will keep voting for someone who manages to encapsulate what they feel"

Even in Harlem you'd probably don't have to walk more than 50 yards to talk to someone.

It is strange how there is this superficial notion that areas are 'Blu' or 'Red'.
It will for the popular vote, the vote we're talking about.
> I refuse to believe the narrative that Americans are just a bunch of redneck retarded bigots.

They aren't, really. That's just what a vocal minority calls them, said minority actually deluding themselves into thinking that they are the majority.
That us how i feel as well the US will finally get what it deserves.
I live outside the SF Bay Area in the hills. I'll vouch for the thought here.

Several of my neighbors wear Trump's mark.
Why is Jupiter so colorful?

If the variation of color are indicative of a similar variation in density, why is there so much turbulence in Jupiter, why are the upper layers not more consistent? Tidal motion? Anyone know?
That is not true. The goal of banter isn't to belittle others seriously, it is often just used to break the ice or for some fun in between work. It is not about a group bullying another.

Many places that require nice language are far more toxic. Or perhaps any place with strict behavior and language rules is toxic, it often seems to be the case.

The parent said that women don't get it. I disagree, most of them working in such environments get it just like men. There are some exceptions for either gender.
I have thousands of old photos that preview can open, but I can’t upload them into the photo.app because the file format is wrong. I’m going to try and use SIPS to convert them all into png first and then add to photo.app. Thanks for this pointer.
I think this is accurate, a big chunk of the vote seems to be "my bills/food/rent went up when Blue in office, Red says they _will_ fix it, so let's try Red"

Of course not statistical, but seems to be a large trend in discussion
> ...are poisoning the blood of this country

Isn't that Nazi rhetoric? "Blood of the country" seems like exactly the sort of thing the Nazis would have been focused on. Are you going for irony?
I've read people say this over and over. And yet, I don't know of any single substantive position that Kamala has taken. She chose a vibes fight and she lost.
> Almost every argument against the cloud - cost inefficiency, fear of vendor lock-in, etc - has easy solutions that make the whole thing extremely cost competitive, if not a way better value, than trying to become your own cloud hosting provider. It's very hard to estimate the real world costs, both known and unknown, of DIY hosting (specifically the expertise, or lack of it, and the impacts from doing it wrong, which is very likely to happen if cloud hosting isn't your core business)

Please define your concept of self-hosting here. Does it mean you need to have your very own DC? Renting a few racks that you fill yourself? Rent CPU, storage and networking, with remote hands and all the bells and whistles?
Depending on the scenario it changes dramatically the burden of ownership (at a monetary cost, obviously). And depending on the size of the company and the variability of the workload, it can (or can not) make sense to be on-prem. But being like "cloud is perfect for everyone and everything, if you tune it well enough" seems a bit too much black&white to me.
You ever stop to think that maybe calling ~50% of the population of your country "a bunch of redneck retarded bigots" could perhaps have some part in it? The media pushing that narrative everywhere certainly doesn't help either.

I'm not a Yank nor do I vote or care to ever vote, but if I were and all I ever saw was every mainstream source of news and media, including sites like Reddit and apparently even HN, calling me a retard (which funnily enough is a pretty bigoted insult coming from the supposed moral & good side) and a bigot non-stop I'd probably say "fuck it" and vote for the guy too.

From where I'm sitting across the pond, the Republicans want stricter border control, smaller government, lower taxes, free speech (which itself is a loaded term that means different things depending on who's saying/hearing it), which is basically what the populist parties across the EU are promising as well.
You’re right. I understood it to require taking the top 2^30 tokens, but instead they sample 2^30 times with replacement.

Too bad they only formulate the detection positive rate empirically. I am curious what the exact probability would be mathematically.
I don't see any clear articulation of the dangers, other than that he's a convicted criminal, which I argue is for purely political reasons. Republican candidates have been labeled "HITLER 2" since Goldwater. I'm not cheerleading, but rather am trying to make policy arguments that add as much value as possible.
Half the voting population who chose to vote voted for.
I can give you my anecdote:

I worked for Best Buy. They fired us and hired an Indian offshore team. They had H1B representatives in the U.S. that I had to spend three months training to do my job.

H1B is supposed to be to fill critical shortages. There wasn’t a critical shortage because I existed and my entire team existed.

Best Buy’s CEO preaches “inclusivity” and “the value of each employee” — while simultaneously firing Americans (and permanent residents) to lower costs — while making the vast majority of their profit selling products to Americans.

The other reason I voted Trump was the Covid lockdowns and the attempted vaccine mandates. Blue states such as California had schools closed for over a year, while red states such as Texas and Florida quickly reopened. The type of government that would arrest a person surfing off of Santa Cruz is a government that has lost their mind. And anyone Dr Sarah Cody of Santa Clara county would support, I’m going to support the opposite.

On a more subjective level — anyone that the establishment tries so hard to oppose-arrest-bankrupt-kill is worthy of my vote. When Dick Cheney endorsed Harris, the decision got really easy to support Trump. Also, see the Abraham Accords for why many support Trump on a foreign policy level.

I don’t care about engaging in a debate and plenty will downvote simply because I’m not in their tribe — but while you asked for a scientific study, there isn’t one yet, but there are tens of millions of anecdotes like mine which should give you a good start.

Not that it matters — my wife is an immigrant from Mexico and her entire family in the U.S. (who are all first generation citizens) — all voted Trump as well. Some make the mistake of assuming “immigrants” are all “undocumented.” There’s a huge difference in being anti-immigrant and anti-illegal-immigrant. The left-wing media fails to make the distinction. Also have a look at the so-called “Black” vote — they have a lot more nuance than the media would have you believe.
None of these are hoaxes. Did you look in to the fake elector plot, which people have pled guilty to?

I think a lot of people give Trump benefit of doubt when he says these things, but he literally said them.
It really isn't just fox.

You especially see it if you pay attention to framing. On every mainstream platform, social issues are always first and foremost framed as "how can we afford this expensive social program!?!". It's always business friendly and worker hostile.
Is it surprising ? Twitter is owned by a guy* who fully backed Trump and thrown a ton of money behind.

*Which also happen to be a guy that needs a 'get out of jail free' card, that Trump can offer
This is really counterfactual.

> I think that this election almost definitively demonstrates that trans issues are not important to the voters.

I don't know about the politics of your state, but in mine over half the ad campaign of the Republican senator who just won was focused on transgender issues. His losing Democratic opponent did not touch that issue.

> Or abortion

Statewide ballot measures aimed at abortion rights succeeded even in many states where Democrats lost.
In school back then I learned about the American melting pot of people from everywhere. Is this no longer the case?
My theory: people are just hacked off that life is getting worse for most people while billionaires get richer and richer. Every disaster the wealthy get handouts while the poor have to pay for them. Government can no longer afford anything because all of its assets have been sold and rented back at a profit.

I don’t think either campaign made any difference to the outcome of this election at all.

In conclusion it might be an amazing economy on the high level averages but when inflation caused by COVID handouts (I’m reading $16 TRILLION, but that can’t be real surely?) is always going to lose you an election badly.

Because I can’t edit: I just saw that RFC 4443 explicitly mentions traceroute when describing how ICMPv6 rate limiting should be implemented, so while there is no explicit RFC describing traceroute, it is mentioned and accommodated.

RFC 4884 also has mentions traceroute.

Edit: and perhaps the worst thing in the blog: it looks like for ICMPv6 (RFC 4443), Packet Too Big error messages are actually MUST now, so every implementation needs to send them.
electoral college
It's not that it's numerous (it's not). It's that they have a lot weight because of how the electoral college works.
They're chonky devices which were not really off-the-shelf until the last decade, as far as I know. There's very few images of them, but a smaller one looks like this: https://www.pv-magazine.com/2018/03/14/pilot-project-for-fly...
Many have a very shallow understanding of policy and have also had their perspectives heavily influenced by propaganda from Fox News, etc. Ask the average Trump supporter how tarrifs work for a good example of what I’m describing.

Try splitting Georgia, where Harris wins a few populous counties with a 30 to 70 pp margin, and Trump leads the lump of smaller counties with a 30 to 70 pp margin.

They reelected the DA that's prosecuting Trump on one of the populous counties, on the same election where the state swung further towards Trump.
It's almost definitely the Bidens administration perceived failings to deal with inflation.
The electoral college for one. Massively oversized benefit, especially since the house size has been frozen. Basically every level of our government is designed to give small rural areas the advantage. It’s no wonder we are the only prosperous nation without universal healthcare and post secondary education. We give the people who contribute the least to our society free rein to run it.
> Are you saying that Trump has no ideology?..

Well, maybe he has, but he aligns his campaign to match the voters' will instead of trying to change the will of the voters' to match his campaign.

Dems: "Listen up: these are the issues that are important to you."

Trump: "That's important to you? Well, in that case it's important to me too!"

You can't expect to win if you are out of touch with what the voters want.
For one, the population is way more spread out in the US than in other countries. There are only 9 cities with more than 1 million people in a country of 350 million inhabitants.
