This article was captivating. Not the normal HN experience but I'm so glad it was posted here.

Cool idea - Having to work with sensitive data, it'd be great to have this functionality without importing/uploading to the internet.

Absolutely! Children of Men is one of my all-time favourite movies.

I think it's when they first enter the building and droplets of water get on the camera lens but are quickly removed in the next couple of frames.

Personal anecdote: I've been living without a personal car for 4 years now thanks to my city's dedication to public transportation, choosing to live close to where I work, and using literally every car share service available when

I agree with you, phone companies have developed a planned obsolesce model that is very frustrating. I actually just went through the same process in the opposite direction - I switched from having iPhones to Android. I've heard tales

I wouldn't say totally unfamiliar, but I suppose I'm biased to my own understanding. Correct, Republican appointees did support and continue to reaffirm constitutional protections for abortion rights. However, it is not clear to m

Right. I think we can agree here that fewer actual /discussions/ take place in support of shouting matches and veiled spite. I don't think that is constructive for anyone and, in my opinion, this is a technique cultivated by

Right, I was supporting your argument by providing one historically consistent potential reason for endorsement from that segment of the population.

Yes, the number of followers for Trump on various social media were substantial but might not be reliable figures [0] due to bots. I'm sure Trump isn't alone with the use of bots, but so far analysis shows that many bots were bein

This is probably true, and why Oregon just passed Outdoor School for All [0]. It's not exactly the same as scouts and guides but it is a guaranteed week-long outdoor education to every student in Oregon. [0] http://www.outdo

In my opinion, hypocrisy is like cherry-picking data. It exists to validate your potentially false claims or misguide those viewing your results. Sometimes it's intentional and other times it is innocent. Sure, the results of the elect

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear - You've had in person arguments with self-proclaimed liberals (strangers, friends, or otherwise) that all resulted in calling you names rather than continuing a civil discussion? And you have additi

I see your point, but, based on your portrayal of your opponents, you appear to be arguing primarily on the internet. Or are you seeing similar short-sighted arguments in person with friends, strangers, family?

There's plenty of software engineering roles available to in the energy efficiency industry and more to come.

I was thinking about this as well. I just learned about the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact[0], which would at least cover situations (like this election) where electoral vote results that don't jive with the popular vote. [0]

This is probably my biggest frustration with Trump. Based on his campaign, I don't anticipate him being receptive to any form of accountability.

Okay, this was the first time I laughed today. Thank you.

They didn't try at all. Unfortunately, someone has to do it. I'm still working up the strength, too.

Interesting - This is opposite my experience. The conservative party on social issues has been almost synonymous with Christian beliefs as long as I've been alive. Many discussions around modern social issues (abortion, same-sex marria

I'm with you word for word. And on top of all this self-doubt and soul-searching, I can't help but think that, should the roles have been reversed, we wouldn't be given the same level of credit we're affording to the &qu

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I believe you misunderstood the parent post. They were pointing out the hypocrisy of caring about unprotected email servers now while not caring when it was done by a member of the same party. I don't

You're right, my comment was hyperbolic and too tongue-in-cheek to not be called out. TV shows do employ people, that's certainly inarguable and, the season ends with employment of the winner, regardless of how inaccurate the job

Yes, this is interesting. I'd like to see some version of this (or range voting as referred to in another comment) implemented in a state and the reactions of the population - if voters felt like this more properly reflected their opin

He had an entire TV show about firing people. He appears to prefer to destroy rather than create.

I think I see what you're saying, though you might have meant that those who voted "for" Clinton would have rather voted "against" Trump. It's true, all variations would see votes and I think that would speak b

You're correct - I am directly negatively affected by Supreme Court nominations that favour the removal of Roe v Wade, legal same-sex marriage, and the Affordable Care act. I will not be laid back.
