The problem is deeper than the trade agreements. It's what we make and what we do.
What do you think is more improbable, rising from outsider clown to winning the GOP nomination or beating Hillary? And all that in election season where we've had 8 years of a Democratic presidenent and the Democratic candidate to succeed him is unliked and uninspiring.
"Well, if I generate (by simulation) a set of 200 variables — completely random and totally unrelated to each other — with about 1,000 data points for each, then it would be near impossible not to find in it a certain number of “significant” correlations of sorts. But these correlations would be entirely spurious. And while there are techniques to control the cherry-picking (such as the Bonferroni adjustment), they don’t catch the culprits — much as regulation didn’t stop insiders from gaming the system. You can’t really police researchers, particularly when they are free agents toying with the large data available on the web.
I am not saying here that there is no information in big data. There is plenty of information. The problem — the central issue — is that the needle comes in an increasingly larger haystack."
Hillary has little chance winning in November anyway given that we're just finishing 8 years with a D president at a time when most people are not happy. She's promising more of the same while being less inspiring and with a poor track record of achievements.
You may be surprised but the history of many practical breakthroughs is actually the other way round. Jet engine is one example -- "[Engineering historian Phil] Scranton showed that we have been building and using jet engines in a completely trial-and-error experiential manner, without anyone truly understanding the theory. Builders needed the original engineers who knew how to twist things to make the engine work. Theory came later, in a lame way, to satisfy the intellectual bean counter." [From Antifragile]. The EM drive might be another one of those.
Seems like Obama is trying to wash his hands from Hillary? That she would not "intentionally endanger the country" is a non-info from her boss -- and not a great compliment either -- but him saying that Hillary was careless with doing a part of her job is quite an accusation.
This weekend he said Libya and lack of planning was his "worst mistake" in the same article where the most credit for pushing for the war was given to Hillary.
Yet he didn't choose to use his drone to catch people breaking domestic battery laws or illegal hunting laws or animal abuse laws and so on -- he chose to catch people breaking that one law that's strikes a nerve in him somewhere. That nerve was almost 100% likely pinched by his sense of morality and the sexual issues he has like most people do (an exception may be if prostitution was causing fights or something in his neighbourhood, doesn't sound like it), so the parent was quite likely spot on.
I'd recommend you to read Crossing the Chasm. There is a reason for the 20 second elevator pitch -- if the idea cannot be condensed in such a short span it cannot occupy the shelf in the mind of the target market user and so most critically it can't get the word of mouth. The word of mouth is absolutely necessary for any product to be successful since you cannot pay to reach every potential user through advertising, you need people talking about it and 20 secs is the most word of mouth can accept. So try rephrasing your product description with that in mind.
Another Criteria for me is Clinton has the most wrongful deaths on her account -- thousands in the least from Libya alone, compared to probably zero for others. And while the lowest Trump has been was mocking a disabled person (which is quite low), Hillary mocked a dead person -- Gaddhafi -- with her famous line "we came, we saw, he died, hahaha."
I watched O'Reilly post-debate ask Cruz if he believed Trump is an honest man, Cruz hesitated for a sec and then admitted he thought yes, Trump says what he believes. But then he added that Trump believes two opposite things in the span of two minutes, and would pass the lie detector test on both.
I had to give Cruz points for being honest himself. In a way he also confirmed that much of Trump's appeal is the "no filter", saying what's on his mind without calculation, which is what some said people are craving after decades of the opposite.
That's exactly what Stratfor would say. They describe most leaders, such as they are, as rational players primarily interested in their survival. DPRK doing anything other than posturing w/ nuclear weapons would be against their survival.
Have you asked why, of all people, so much talk of lying, calculation, dishonesty and so on is directed at Hillary? Is that because she's a woman? A Democrat? A politician? I bet whichever (reasonable) category you name you can find plenty of examples of people from the same category that don't get the same treatment.
I don't know the answer, my best guess (apart from her actual record) is that her body language, facial expressions and so on don't give off a vibe of a person you can trust to lead you, and that's a big warning sign. Ultimately what it comes down to, if Hillary says we are going to war, and pay for it and send our youth, would you feel comfortable with it. I know I wouldn't.
I'm probably in the majority of the tech minority -- somewhat curious about VR and never tried any system. My impression from the reviews at Ars and elsewhere is that Valve has figured out the use mode best. If I had the option to *try* just one, I'd try the HTC vive.
That said I don't care much about the job simulator, but some sort of SimUniverse where you sit in the lab and experiment with different fundamental processes based on the technology pioneered by Aperture Sciences... that might be worh $800.
"There will be more accidents" -- well, that's just, like, your opinion. Any emergent behaviour coming from interactions in a complex system (drivers on the road) is unknowable before it happens.
The condensed advice I heard was: 1) Eat food. 2) Not too much of it. 3) Mostly vegetables.
A bag of chips or ice cream isn't really food, it's entertainment for the taste buds. Not saying we should never eat it, but if see it as entertainment -- and there are benefits from being entertained and a price to pay for it -- we are less at risk of being harmed by it.
I think fundamentally unknowable means "in principle". Maybe there was a drone that recorded your friend's crash and the video may surface in 100 years. Whereas unknowable in principle is e.g. anything from the Uncertainty principle, e.g. if you know the momentum of the electron you cannot know in principle its position. Or, you as a person cannot know in principle if what you are experiencing -- seeing, touching -- is "really" out there. (You can be fairly confident that it is, that you are not dreaming, drugged etc. but can't know it in principle.)
Argue the principles all you want, reality is people are moving away from GPL (esp. v3). Maybe GPL did help spread Linux and all the great tools better than MIT-style license would have, maybe it didn't, impossible to tell. Question is what do you do now. If you have too many people leaving, something is likely in need of a fix.
It's the latter -- I defer to the the Internet when I need to make snap judgements on inconsequential things.
This being the Internet, it sounds like Android is more tricky, the names I keep hearing from the Android world are Samsung something or other, LG and so on, Nexus isn't on top of that list in my recollection.
Ah no I'm sure battery is like the rest, I meant personal energy draining.:-) Malware, updates, things not working... my impression is that Android is high maintenance compared to iOS, though you get more flexibility. Windows phone seemed like it would be a nice balance -- doesn't restrict things like iOS and doesn't require vigilance like Android.

Except this time around the majority of voters likely won't care much about policy but about character.

I have a Dell all-in-one desktop at work that has a manual camera shutter. Wish that were standard.
Same goes for microphone, wifi, and USB read-only sticks.
