CHIPS act, IR act (infrastructure, jobs...), student loans effort, better social nets for seniors, millions of jobs, much better handling of inflation than the rest of the world, pushing for democracy and freedom.
We can't go back to misogyny, racism, removing freedoms from women, teachers, different people, giving money only to the rich and connected, non-sense diplomacy...
Israel is the culprit .
In that case, let's look at the millions more of people who died under Trump.
Trump was unable to stop the war in Afghanistan, and triggered the invasion of Ukraine (by weakening NATO)
> The public had clearly voted against immigration and free trade. At that point, the job of the federal bureaucracy was to put aside their own views about whether immigration and free trade were good things, and use their skills to implement the agenda of their duly elected new boss.
You mean a new boss put in place by an Electoral college, which didn't represent the majority of the people?
Majority of the country didn't vote for the 2016 President
So many Americans are prone to conspiracy theories. Most of the flat-earther, no-climate-urgency, election-was-stolen are Americans who have access to lots of facts, but still are in denial
American culture is, indeed, a mix of culture. It exists only thanks to external influences.
Black culture is at the heart of American culture (jazz, soul, and more music), great athletes in the best team...
In the end, it's all the same: humans like to think they are better: "I am better because I believe in progress", "I am better because I believe in God", "I am better because I am different", "I am better because I want to be left alone".
A world with 8 billion people cannot be managed like a world with even 1 billion.
As the world gets more automated, abstract, and focused on money, management of society has to evolve. Or we need to stop progress.
Any armed militia (let alone a single citizen) would have no power to fight anything. A government army would crush them. Today, guns are mostly killing other law-abiding citizens: hence, they are the wrong approach to a 21st century society. 300 years ago, US people had to protect themselves (against all enemies, including their "government" of the time: the British army)
I would have to agree with the designer's I find it easy to download a map. I've done it in every single country I went to. But I have seen family members struggling because they didn't want to take the time to know how to do it (it could be a bad design but also laziness of users...)
The ex-Googler is most likely talking about the product as a whole, across the globe. It would be hard to justify features dedicated to a small group of users overall (with different goals/expectations), especially while keeping privacy (and data sharing).
That being said, Google maps works great for cyclists in the US ...
Felt the same: the Internet is now full of "I saw it coming, and can predict the future" type of blog article, where you could replace AI by block chain (or any new technology - superconductors?) and write the same article. Very bland and not worth of HN time...
The "interesting" part (as in, interesting to study for a psychological and social angle) was the aversion of some people to understand the situation (which was complex) and be a good player. Lots of people have a hard time to extend their view of the world, and play in their own bubble
first time I hear about Aurelia.
I found Angular2 easier to start with, as I did not have to make decisions about what to use for router, DI, storage. With React (and React Native), there are many blanks to be filled, and hard to make a decision: Redux or Mobx?, which router?, who owns the style...
