After claiming fraudulent elections every time his whole politically career, this last election was a historic blowout and he admits it was fair. I hope it's a wet blanket on all the election conspiracies of recent years--see, it is possible for Republicans to lose after all, who knew?
If more engineering/medical/science are involved in politics means more public infrastructure aside from data centers I can live with that, if it means more clear thinking, more practical thinking, more can do and less lawyering why not, after all, the lawyers and the business/finance people can’t say they haven’t had their opportunities over the years.
Yeah I hate when that yucky political stuff gets in the way.
Anyway, back to work on my systems that spy on people to extract more ad revenue, and autonomous killbots. The tech for those is so _cool_, lots of fun challenges :)
AI policies for each party drastically differ. And considering the US is the epicenter of AI right now, the midterm results are more relevant than ever for HN.
Saying you want politics off the site is in and of itself, a political opinion.

A year ago GOP was projected to keep the senate by a safe margin, and here they are losing seats by a wide margin. Even if you're not into the politics of it, the analysis of the electoral data itself would count as "anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity." Which counties flipped? Why? By how many? Were there flaws in polling data? Is there a statistical trend?
Greetings from Europe: This gives hope. Now don't screw it up, you are not done yet!
Hopefully the electorate has patience and continues this turnout in 2028 and beyond. It's time to start flipping tables.
> Trump says he will accept results in a dire night for Republicans
Sad that this line has become necessary.

Bolsonaro said the same thing before running away then claiming victory. The statement is worth nothing.
It's not. Even if it's only motivated by a desire not to be impeached again, it's better than the alternative.
Better not bring political narrative into the conversion of IT. People in HN seems to behave like politations than engineers more and more.

You'd rather read another postgres hacks article written by Claude than discuss the midterms, the second largest political event in the United States?
Yes.
Tend to agree. Seems off topic for HN.

There’s nothing about AI policies in headline/article. It’s off topic.

Also this isn't an article, it's a live feed.
Politics have always been a part of HN, if it was slightly historical, which it is in this case. Just search for "Trump" on this page.
