What sort of background is needed to work on the little projects ?. I have very less experience in compilers but I am super interested in learning about compilers and wasm.

If one has to build a Goodreads competition, How can one go about getting books data, book cover images etc ?

How much does it cost (everything included) per year approximately to run a company with zero or very close to zero revenues in US ?. I am talking about cost including Lawyer charges, Accountant charges, Tax, agent charges etc.

ilolu | 9 years ago | on: The forces that drove this election’s media failure are likely to get worse

May be I was not clear in my language. I was talking mainly about main stream media not believing and laughing at people who even suggested that. And now the media wants to blame various reasons/people for Hillary's loss.

I too believe that people need to understand the diverse ideas leading to voters voting for their candidates. And I also hate the present media trying to shame 60 million people as racist and sexist etc for voting for Trump and not even trying to understand that people can have different priorities and reasons.

I am from India and I have seen middle class people talking about sexism, racism as major points while discussing candidates.

But when people are worried about leading a respectful life and make the future of their children safer, you cannot expect them to vote on sexism and racism as major topics in an election. You need to sell them a future.

And Trump sold them a future with "Make America Great Again". And Bernie was also selling people a future where corporations don't decide ur life. Hillary was basically telling America is great already. Think of people who are anxious economically hearing that.

But still you can't label 60 million people just because they voted for Trump. There will be few who are racist. But by labelling everyone, you are basically ignoring the reasons they voted for Trump and increasing the divide. Trump took advantage of the many people's anxiety.

What should be done is take steps for an inclusive growth including people who are anxious, dis-enchanted with establishment. But by labelling them, you are basically discriminating them and pushing them further away.

When Hillary lost to one of the worst candidates ever in Trump, then its her fault. But from what I seen in social media, Hillary's supporters are just blaming everyone else for the loss rather than finding fault in their candidate.

I have even seen tweets claiming all Trump's voters (60 million people) are sexist, racist etc. It could just be a simple fact that people value other things more than just sexism and racism.

Trump just sold people a better future to this voters than Hillary did. Whether he is going to solve any issues of his voters, is a different thing.
