_audakel··on Donald Trump’s Contract with the American Voter [pdf]
wow. alot of these would be amazing if he got them to go through. maybe the "world is ending" rehtoric of 2008 when pres. obama was elected is similar to the current talk?

what are you proposing if not acceptance?

With the Brexit, many Euro companies near to defaulting and Russia moving troops to its western boarders, you really think Europe is a better place? USA has its fair share of problems, but I would not go so far as to say anywhere else is more ideal for startups (or living). yet.

As much bad emotions as their are going around this election, we don't kill buissness leaders who oppose us (russia) kill political leaders who dissagre us (n. korea), have civil wars taking the lives of thousands (many countries in africa), kill drug users in the streets (PH) or have mass civilaian graves from cartel wars (mexico)

Code is just automated human thought. If we can think of a solution code just carries it out at 100Bx / second

With this thought process it almost seems like you are saying we have to wait for a generation to die off before this problem is "fixed".

Not saying that you are wrong, but it is a sad idea that we can't fix it. Maybe instead of giving out "gov't handouts" we just give out VR headsets and give pple a Matrix like existance who can no longer bare the thought of their current living conditions. Sad.

Reminds me of romneys infomous 47% remark. Seems like there is a geuine disconnect btwn current pollitical class and the "silent majority"

it seems to be more accurate clustering division around rural / cities than rich / poor

This attitude of categorizing large amounts of ppl "creepy ppl in small town" and refusing to see / accept that they have legitmate issues and greivanes is exactly why HRC lost. We can not just cut of or forget about a large portion of our nation bc we do not agree with them or we are not better than the Donald.

Of all ppl, HN should see this as an opprotunity. Large pain points of rural america = massive startup opprotunites.

Maybe he will more or less admit that alot of it was just theatrics, and he will go on to be a sane[ish] human being and normal[ish] POTUS

_audakel··on Why Twitter Must Be Saved
Not that I like GNU social (get all my news from twitter) but why the down votes? It is a legitimate idea and project, and he gives examples of similar undertakings.
_audakel··on New Warship’s Big Guns Have No Bullets
first thought:

  "hit targets 80 miles away at $800,000 / round."
$10k/mile.... move the ships closer and get less expensive ammo?

second:

  "The official added that there was no sense the contractor was overcharging or anything.”
Really?

_audakel··on Could Twitter Be Better Off as a Nonprofit?
"In the second quarter it lost more than $100 million — so perhaps it already is a nonprofit."
_audakel··on Code of Silence
you have to know the system before you can beat it.

Similar idea-> I think the only reason Ed. Snowden was able to get away / stay out of US prison was he had worked so long with CIA/NSA etc that he was very familiar with the tactics they would use to go after him, and he was able to take appropriate action to evade them.

_audakel··on Yahoo scanned customer emails for US intelligence
If she had wanted to this to get out, I wonder if she could have ordered the email team to go ahead and build out the sniffer so she is not in contempt of the court, but let her security team openly blog about it, without informing her, when they found it - which could lead to an inadvertent release of the info? If the sec team was not under the gag order maybe they would not have gotten in trouble.

Or take her to a super boss level, she could have used whisper to talk to guccifer and let him know about some vuln that would allow access to the legal directory.... which would have to gag order. #wikileakitup

"Anti-pitch

I’d like to try to convince you why you shouldn’t use ripgrep. Often, this is far more revealing than reasons why I think you should use ripgrep."

You are probably an outlier, in that majority of ip requests coming from spain are going to want spanish. it makes sense to render default in spanish. I am not sure what headers your ipad is sending, but i doubt it sends what your language preference is. (i could be wrong)

also, as previous sites don't add the chosen language in the click request, i don't see how being on hn previously is relevant.

the flip side to this is - if this is actually a big problem (incorrect renderings of language) maybe some dnn could be applied for a new start up idea! haha
