My Filipino friends also all ran to the exchange today to stock up on low PHP since Trump presidency means no pressure on Duterte and rise of their peso.

Also odd considering Trump spent the entire nomination campaign shilling his deal making abilities, and how he would lead by consensus instead of executive orders.
I don't see how YC denying Peter Thiel is anything more than political theatre it has no bearing on whether Trump will win or not.
All these distractions when the US has two states CT and IL in near bankruptcy due to pensions being 200%+ over state revenues, and a frightening national debt meaning Feds will likely not be able to bail them out. Wish everybody could panic over that not Thiel being involved with YC.

As soon as you start getting x > Sepa transfers banks will drop you quickly, or sooner if anything goes wrong like a fraud xfer comes in, and you aren't a huge account worth the bank's trouble.

Many shelters also have rules that nobody can adhere to like curfew hours or being forced to stand in line everyday to get a spot first come first served. Often you can't book more than one night at a time so you have to spend a significant part of your day, everyday, securing your temporary bed and storage for that night so if you have a job you can't stay at a shelter.
It's much better to just live out of a tent. Problem is people in squatter tents tend to get ridiculously drunk every night, light their tent on fire accidentally or spend all night screaming and fighting with each other thus police get called and their tent city dismantled.
The Salvation Army from what I've seen has the best system going. You can book 3 months, and they help you with employment. You get your own room and there's not a lot of rules besides no alcohol or drugs allowed in the building. This is where most of the homeless go who fell through the social safety net for whatever reasons, and they can save 3 months of income to get back on their feet whereas the addicts, chronic homeless by choice, and mentally ill are the ones in tent cities.

For all these reasons: http://flint.cs.yale.edu/cs421/case-for-ml.html
Many school courses use ML/OCaml as well in their classes and as you do the course they explain why OCaml/ML is best suited for what's going on https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~fp/courses/15411-f13/schedule.html

This is what I first think of when a government makes up excuses to block a foreign service, they are just trying to promote their own local services like Baidu/Sina Weibo in China.

They each have websites with their platform up in full. Most discussion you will find will be each side spinning the other side's platform or outright lying about it. Just read it yourself and decide

An amnesty for cash repatriation is what Trump is currently shilling as part of his job creation platform since corps like Apple have billions overseas https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-07-22/tim-cook-... and are pressured by shareholders to not return it to the US where it will be taxed. Tim Cook will have to pay out 70 billion lump sum to the feds on that overseas pile of money.
Obama was also working on an amnesty for years and it never happened for whatever reasons. Of course this would work once then build up again overseas as they would just wait for another amnesty as explained by other posters.

Don't governments already do this by giving universities large research grants? http://research.fas.harvard.edu/funding-sources#federal
We could triple the grants, but that money has to come from somewhere and every corner of society has a vocal group of voters who want that money. If the future US federal leader makes it a priority to cure the HIV epidemic in foreign countries while taking away cancer research funding or slashing social security that sounds more like political suicide than leadership.
I wish he would elaborate on his education vision too. "New tools" is totally vague. Khan academy and other remote tutors?

Offtopic but there was another post here recommending that people do just that, be very visible and public so when the layoffs happen you aren't the person laid off even if you're just doing the same work as everybody else you appear to be indispensible. Recruiting works the same I guess.

This also explained it well, predicting contracts would be full of problems http://vessenes.com/ethereum-contracts-are-going-to-be-candy...

Which points were missed
>campaign ties to the Kremlin
http://www.wsj.com/articles/the-clinton-foundation-state-and...
>speeches in Moscow that benefit the Kremlin
https://www.quora.com/Who-paid-Bill-Clintons-2-5-million-com...
We can play this game all day. Both US major federal political parties are neck deep in Kremlin corruption and ties to each other. Trump has also never taken an 'anti-NATO' stance, he wants to shake down NATO countries for cash to pay for protection, and so did Dubya, who threatened my country into joining the Afghan military adventure with that whole 'you are with us or our enemy' speech.
The question is, is Russia trying to get Trump elected which is hard to believe since they enjoy a pretty good relationship with the Clintons, but who really knows I will concede. I'm also not buying the secret IOCs that "verify" state sanctioned involvement, they verify similar attackers, that use a Russian VPS.

Sabu disagrees, claims the methods and tools are widely shared on the same criminal forums http://searchsecurity.techtarget.com/news/450298715/DNC-hack...
