No, forget about that "emotional intelligence" shite. I am talking about skills such as critical thinking, abstract reasoning, and ability to quickly process new information. 30 years ago, there was a very high chance that if you pick somebody with that profession , he will possess all of those skills. However, today the field has so much broadened, that some jobs in it are extremely repetitive , and require basically no algorithmic thinking.

Yeah, that's one of the downsides of extreme specialization. 30 years ago, programmers had to do more than just bash out code. Now there are specialists who handle other areas of the business.
Markets having their best week in five years. Dow in a record high. Complete opposite of the market crash predictions following Trump's election.
Great markets, we will have the best markets.
Even if they only coded, the code produced was of extremely high quality in most cases, since it required overcoming multitude of hardware limitations. Some truly ingenious stuff was created in the field of video games for example. Now, hardware is a monster, and is getting more monstrous each year. And this is with regard to native development. The majority of people are doing web development, which hides away many of the issues that native devs have to face. Anyway, back to politics and that shitfest.
tremendous markets.Not much in all honesty.
It might mean that they are life long Republican voters.
It might mean that they are tired of the establishment.
It might mean that don't like Hillary.
It might mean that believe that Trump's business credentials might help in creating jobs.
It might mean so many different things.
Could it mean that some of them are vicious racists?Yes. Does it mean that all are.Not a chance.
They work really hard.
I cant wait til the speeches at the cororspondents dinner.
Comedians will be flocking to be at that place.
Also hearing Trump pardon a turkey would be quite surreal
She might've lost the election but there's no need to be rude.
I just said that.
Didn't he had more black and latino votes than Romney in the last election? Hillary even failed to win women's vote massively. This racist talk is nonsense to me. It's scare tactics to try and create a more divisive state.
A lot of his voters came from the same people who voted for Obama, and was let down by his politics. Or failed to go for both and went to another option.
To reduce his electorate to dumb, racist white supremacist voter is just poor form, in my opinion. As is branding him simply as a misogynist, racist, fascist evil businessman.
Politics are way more intricate than "We want 'Merica back".
"And some, I assume, are good people."
The main point of that is that you can't group them as one thing or that voting for him says one thing about all of them.
Not for most of rural America.
Why don't people want to acknowledge that Trump is racist, homophobic, sexist, xenophobic etc and many of his supporters love this rhetoric because they're tired of political correctness, and being labelled those very same things.
Just because it doesn't affect you, your family or anyone you know, doesn't mean it didn't have a part to play in Trump's campaign.
To neglect this is honestly just baffling.
You think he would've gotten elected as President based off his strong policy, business experience and reality tv fame?

Couldn't have put it better.
People do panic when the racist/homophobic/sexist tags get applied, not realizing that you don't have to have a cape in your closet and have sex slaves before you are sexist or racist.
But..but..he is going to pivot. He was only saying those things to get people on his side.
I didn't watch a lot of CNN yesterday but are people questioning the protests? All I saw were people saying that's what makes American democracy great, that people are allowed to protest. I'm sure facebook and twitter are different but those mediums are full of deplorables, tremendous deplorables. They have the best deplorables.
I read literally everwhere that these protesters behave anti-democratic (lmao) because they don't accept the result.
Mind you most people don't really understand democracy so I'm not surprsied.
Most was on social media though, that's true.
I understand the panic, but to outright dismiss it just makes no sense, but it does make sense because that's pretty much why he got elected.
All the deplorable people on his side yes.
To be fair, his was a call to question the electoral college system. The protests I'm seeing now are just people unhappy at the result. Would have been a far more constructive protest if they went after the system, redistricting, minority voter suppression etc.
After all the questions about the demographics in the coming years for Republicans, it's the Dems that seems to have the real problem. Democrats have been playing to the minority votes, it seems that the black voters don't turn up in the same numbers unless the candidate is a colored person. That's a real problem because Dems can't keep nominating latinos/african americans in hope of getting the minority vote.
Will also make it easier for Republicans to fire up the white population to vote for them if other races are voting for Dems.

Well they can get off their asses and try and flip the House/Senate in 2018. That'll be the best way to neuter the worst excesses of a Trump administration.
That's usually what happens, isn't it? Anyway, it's the outcome I expect.
Black voters would've voted for Bernie.
Problem is the Clinton family isn't exactly loved by the Black community, for obvious reasons.
Democrats do need more representation that reflects Americans more, so more people of colour, women, LGBT etc if they want to appeal to the minorities.
Usually, but it's much easier for Republicans, with the current biase of the district map towards their demographics.
Fixed. Older black people loved Bill. I think they solidly came out for Hillary. Not as much as for Obama, mind.
My daughter went to one anti-Trump protest last night, going to another today. Might be able to join her if it last into the evening.
This has nothing to do with his anti-islamic rhetoric though, that's just a baseless and lazy argument. /s
didn't he have some issues with BLM during the primaries?
Also at the time of his Presidency there were some who called Bill "The First Black President" when he opened his post-Presidency offices in Harlem (granted after it was deemed the original location was too expensive) people loved him.
Well the stats showed more black people & people of colour in general, of all ages, voted for Hillary than white women.
It was never going to compare to how it was for Obama though.
If the black voters don't turn up for Clinton or any Dem candidate against a racist xenophobe and demagogue, then it's not really a viable strategy for Dems to follow. I don't know what you are on about, because in the primaries, Dem black voters were her firewall. Go to any Sanders rally (I've been to one), you can only find white liberals and young voters. Sorry, I call bullshit.
You seen the Senate seats up for re-election in '18 though? It's grim reading. Very few gain possibilities, a hell of a lot of potential losses. Hopefully anti-GOP sentiment is high.
Nope. There were a few protestors at his rally's & and he thanked them and allowed them to speak and get their message across.
Bernie has a long Civil Rights track record, black millennials love him.
I made this post in another thread but as an aspiring neurosurgeon who has worked with several, I have heard that Dr. Carson doesn't have the best reputation in the neurosurgical community. This is largely related to character concerns but don't want to share more than that on an internet forum.
Of the 34 (?) seats up for grab in the Senate, 24 are Democratic.
People like Joe Manchin, Heidi Heitkamp, Mary Landrieu are more likely to work with Republicans than Democrats in the upcoming administration anyway, if they get re-elected.
No matter how you slice it, we are fecked.
