I think Trump will be more reasonable about the issue during his campaign and he said it at a time when there was less data and less certainty, so it's also not fair to take it out of context.
Game development has changed a lot and now it seems that it is more about content curation and design, selecting the right plugins and models from the Asset Store and putting them together in a creative way.
The business model has changed as well, it's not so much about making a masterpiece with perfect gameplay anymore, but more about hitting the right niche at the right time with something novel. There are hundreds of games released every day on mobile, thousands of games on Steam Greenlight, and tens of thousands of free games on itch.io. Games have become YouTube, and the makeup tips and unboxing channels are bound to win out over Sundance documentaries, so finding the right niche is probably a good bet.
She could have accidentally forwarded a top secret email to her bowling club mailing list and I still wouldn't think she was less qualified. It's just irrelevant in the bigger picture.
I think Trump is not qualified at all and I don't think he will do a better job. The president is not a dictator and they can't bs or bully their way into getting changes made. If he can manage to accomplish anything he says, which I doubt he can, it will end up making life worse for a lot of people.
I get his rhetoric, the government isn't perfect and some things aren't working well, but he's not going to be able to fix any of it. He's just pointing fingers at red herrings to get people to back him.
In my opinion, the whole email thing is making a mountain out of a molehill to rile up Trump supporters and give them some irrational reason to oppose the other side. It's groupthink at its finest. The sexual predator stuff is the same thing on the other side, both issues are totally irrelevant.
I'm voting for Hillary because she is far better suited for the position, and her platform isn't based on bullying and boasting of impossible plans.
I've seen more of this negative rhetoric lately and I suspect it's influenced by Trump's speech patterns of describing everything as a "Total Disaster, Sad!"
It's not a constructive way of speaking, and it's hurtful and discouraging to whatever or whomever it is criticizing. That's likely why Trump does it.
How about changing the title to "USB-C adapter confusion: what can we do to improve this?"
It is much more convincing to read actual facts about the platforms, and it's a lot more constructive.
With the brain power here, we might even be able to make constructive suggestions and possibly even influence either party's policies so that regardless of the outcome it works in everyone's favor.
If we can point out that some component of Hillary's plan or Trump's plan will surely lead to disaster in some way, that itself may have the political power to influence revision in a positive way, especially right now since both candidates are searching for weaknesses in each other's campaigns.
This is one of the most intelligent communities in the world, so let's be constructive.
Much of intelligence is a natural ability gifted at birth, and it's often easy to lose touch with that when you are surrounded by highly skilled and intelligent peers, as many in Silicon Valley or cities often are.
As an example, if you are an unskilled laborer looking for work, which is a large portion of the population, it may be directly applicable and not necessarily racism or xenophobia to be upset if illegal immigrants do indeed take those jobs. I have not been in that situation nor seen it directly, but I can envision scenarios in which it might be a valid frustration. If you wish to understand that 43%, you might not immediately dismiss the views that resonate with them as racist or threatening, and try to understand why they are agreeing with those ideas.
Many of those people also likely do not use computers or have effective typing or competitive communication skills, and may be very frustrated by their inability to voice their complaints in intellectually competitive online communities. I think it's possible that Trump has employed many manual laborers or "blue collar workers" in the construction of his properties and he may been been exposed to certain types of complaints which are uncommon in other corporate environments, which he is now championing to address. Given these circumstances, I can understand how to a large group of people Trump would not appear as a monster or dangerous, but rather as a legitimate hero.
Likewise, I believe Trump should do a better job of addressing how those policies might affect immigration as it applies to tech companies, and I can completely understand the emotional reactions to his policies from the tech industry.
He seems like a relatively sincere and smart guy to me, and some of his policies seem to be better for business.
Is it because of tougher immigration laws? Are there other reasons based on his policies, or is it mostly just emotional?
Most people are very emotional about it and seem to have knee-jerk reactions, so I'd like to hear from people who actually read his finalized policies and have specific criticisms about them, not just referencing scandals.

This would be useful, for instance, to have a torrent of a video series which always contains the latest episode instead of creating a new torrent each time, so the torrent would act more like subscription or RSS feed, which would encourage seeding as well since you would need to keep the torrent active in your client.
One major problem is malicious authors who would update a "verified" torrent with one that contains malware. Perhaps the torrent could somehow contain user reviews, and those reviews would be deprecated upon each update.
Does anything like this exist yet? Any other ideas on how to solve the malicious author issue?
This seems to differ from what is being proposed, which if I am understanding correctly is something like a link to an RSS feed which provides updates to an archive of torrents. Could this provide similar functionality to what I propose?
