I agree they were good, but the Cuba and the Iran deal both happened after Clinton's Secretary of State tenure, no? How did she make them happen?

To what degree does this contradict Einstein's theory of gravity?

I still use gevent any time I need async code. It's also easy to tack onto existing projects with its monkey patching. I've never seen a need to migrate away from gevent, even if it's inarguably a language hack.

I was actually just parroting claims of message arrival time/sync inconsistencies in this thread. I don't use the app too much, in part because nearly everyone I know uses Skype instead of Discord, but I've never personally e

Valid point. I personally like the UI/UX, except some of the channel management features. It took me some time to figure out how to set ranks and give permissions.

I think Discord is on a path to be a suitable replacement for IRC, Slack, and Skype. They still need some polishing, but once they fix some bugs and add good support for history and searching, I think it'll be fantastic.

I don't think YC's brand has been criticized much more than it has in the past. I think the Thiel drama is the worst they've had to deal with in the past year or two. Where have you seen more YC promotion?

I think there's a bit of a false dichotomy there. Some engineers are willing to work in a harsh, toxic environment if they think the founder isn't delusional and is actually onto something. I presume that's how Apple employ

It's even more slimey in the enterprise space. I'd like to think that the majority of people involved with the industry in some way have good intentions, but once you start involving, sales, marketing, and certain executives...

I've been reading the New Yorker for years (though I feel they've become even more politically charged than usual within the past year and have since stopped) and was always irked by those damn diaereses. It makes "oo" e

The real confusing part is why this didn't happen earlier. Or, more likely, it did happen earlier but the attackers weren't properly weaponizing or "botkilling" / patching the devices?

That seems like a huge stretch, considering he himself is and was a politician known for phone communication-related scandals... I imagine she'd much, much rather use a burner than his phone, if that were the intent.

I think avoiding the FOIA is bad (and possibly illegal, if intent is proven?), but not that horrible. The careless handling of classified information is worse, in my opinion.

Apologies, I appear to have been misled from some of the sources I read (like http://www.factcheck.org/2016/07/revisiting-clinton-and-clas... ). In particular, I wasn't aware there were some top secret emails

The allegation is that she was using private email to conduct official government business while she served as Secretary of State (one of the highest-ranking positions in the government; chief diplomat). This was likely done to avoid requir

I wonder how a programmer from the 80s would react if they were given a time machine and this was their first experience with modern programming.

Not a bad idea, but this isn't a thing browsers currently do, and the average person can't do that with ease. Especially considering this web app is aimed at non-tech savvy individuals.

Foval and Creamer are disgusting, but it remains unclear how much power they had in the DNC at large and if Hillary was aware of any of it. From the undercover recordings, they seem to me like megalomaniacs who see themselves as Machiavelli

It's sentiments like this that still give Trump a serious shot at winning, even if more scandals about him are unveiled. I hate both but am voting for Clinton, but can very much understand your position. The whole "basket of deplo

You also have to consider that Thiel himself very likely is not a racist (and obviously not a homophobe etc.). He likely does not see Trump as racist or sexist. He may be misguided and may hold some crazy and infeasible ideas, but Thiel doe
