UDF is ultimately just a filesystem. It's tailored to optical media, yes, and it's suboptimal for other formats, but it can be formatted and used that way; and when you need large files or Unicode names on portable media, and want it to be usable across platforms out of the box, it's pretty much the only choice right now. Conveniently, both Windows and OS X will mount such media just fine with no additional actions requires, although formatting in UDF is another matter. So this has been a little-known trick that has been in use for a while now.
The only catch is that existing flash media is usually explicitly optimized for FAT. Formatting them to something else can result in lower speed, and faster wear.
Or maybe, just maybe, because some (bad) people have been improperly accused of it, doesn't mean that the accusation is never valid. Trump is not Hitler, but he's the closest any presidential candidate in this country has come to that figure.
Like I said, my observations are direct. I don't need the media to tell me that most Trumpkins are either naive, idiots, or "fuck you so long as I get mine" sociopaths. I've seen them myself. I've talked to them. They told me what they are.
Hell, I've had a Trump supporter tell me that his hope is that once Trump comes to power, "he'll throw some leftists out of helicopters, like they did in Chile to save the country" - and doubled down on it when I challenged him. And no other supporter in that group contradicted him; so, at best, even if they don't agree with this, they don't disagree enough to not look the other way, if it gets them what they want.
But, of course, it's all just a harmless political movement for jobs and against immigration. I must have misheard or something.
My understanding of Trump and his supporters is informed by direct interaction with them. I am a pro-gun liberal (it's a bit more complicated, but it'll do for now), and so my social circles, both online and IRL, involve a considerable slice of right wing, from libertarians to tea party militia types. And, yes, Trump supporters.
These people are idiots not because of what they want (though some of that is also extremely and obviously misguided), but because they believe that Trump will actually deliver it, and also because they completely ignore the price that the country would have to pay even if (or rather, precisely because) he does all that he promise. Trump's platform is right-wing authoritarian populism, complete with a personality cult - basically one step away from fascism, and some would argue that even said step is mostly nominal. It's not a valid option for anyone who has even the slightest shred of care or respect for constitutional rights, due process etc.
Hillary is bad, but she's the "same old" kind of bad. It's kind of like a chronic headache that people get used to over time. You can live with it, and while it does impede you, it doesn't kill or incapacitate you.
Trump is more like getting your leg broken kind of bad. With a bone sticking out and all.
Both Ukraine and Georgia are independent sovereign countries. It's not for Russia to tell which alliances they can and cannot join. Bringing up NATO in that context is especially laughable, as it is fundamentally a defensive alliance. When did NATO last invade Russia?
In Putin's position, I would do everything it takes to make Russia a part of EU, and ultimately even NATO itself. There's really no reason why it shouldn't be a part of the collective Western defense, except for its stubborn refusal to play that game unless it's in charge, due to ancient delusions of grandeur ("Third Rome" etc) and nostalgia over past superpower status.
Not in this area. Russians were doing this long before Americans seriously considered it. For example, that whole "we don't need a warrant for metadata" thing? Russia did it in 1995.
You have to admit that, because right wing beliefs conflict with observable facts that much more often (not saying that left wing doesn't do it - but they don't do it quite as often, and quite to that extent), at this point it's largely their sport.
In the past couple of years, they've started extending this to various fact-checking websites and services, probably due to the sheer number of bullshit that those have pointed out that is readily sourced to right wing politicians.
It's only confirmation bias when the other side isn't actually idiots.
This year, and Trump success in particular, has provided the final and very hefty proof that the other side is, in fact, dominated by idiots (and, perhaps, people who are too afraid to challenge idiots).
At this point, their website is simply too big to let them do whatever they want with it. And because of the nature of social networks, there's a huge lock-in effect - I mean, we've had one of the other giants in the industry waste how many million dollars on their attempt to get in, and it was still a miserable failure.
Of course there are different rules for the Secretary of State vs. some functionary somewhere
Can you point out the example of said different rules? And explain why it's an "of course" thing? In a society that respects rule of law, rules generally apply to everybody.
I believe you're broadly right, but there is a catch: don't trust polls too much. When someone like Trump is on the ballot, you get a lot of enthusiastic supporters who will proudly proclaim their allegiance as a way to flip the bird. But you also get a bunch of smarter, educated people who back the buffoon for one reason or the other, but who will never admit to it in public, because doing so would be extremely damaging to their reputation in their normal circles. Polls don't reflect those people, but they can and do make a difference at the booth, where they can vote their mind.
Until the convention, Democrats still have many options to counter any problems Clinton might be having. The easiest one would be for superdelegates to flip and nominate Sanders. Then there's Biden, etc.
It's the same problem for pipes - if you are passing text around, the program on the other side of the pipe has to agree with you on the encoding, and the de facto standard for that is to use locale.
BTW, did you know that you can change the encoding of stdin/out/err specifically using PYTHONIOENCODING environment variable? Works for both 2.7 and 3.x, too.
There may be plenty of people who care, but they might constitute the minority of the overall community, and therefore incapable of maintaining forks of the entire ecosystem of that larger community.
Or it might be that too many of those people who care, don't have the skills and/or the time necessary to maintain such forks.
For the purposes of running random downloaded code, they are two different languages, in a sense that neither is a subset of the other, and so they're not compatible in either direction.

There are Russians who are also happy to argue freedom and civil liberties. The problem is that they usually don't get to speak for long.
The world doesn't revolve around USA. Russia has had its own share of major terrorist attacks; to name just a few:

You answered a different question (why you would want to vote for him, not why others would).

Sanders couldn't even get the majority of Democrats to vote for him; why would you expect him to win in the general?
(This is ignoring the fact that not even all states count write-ins to begin with.)
Intel has some good offerings, too. But they're all x64 by now. There really isn't any case for i386.
Actually, isn't Tesla smarter than that? I thought it could actually follow the lane (even if it turns), and auto-brake.
Most Russian/Soviet Jews are borderline atheist, not Orthodox.

It seems reasonable to default to current locale encoding for files (and stdin/out/err), since it's what most other apps will do.

Python 2 had full Unicode support, too. You had to be explicit about it (u'' literals etc), but it was there.
