If that fight were to happen again, but the surrounding media environment setup didn't much change, do you think that victory would be long-lasting?
"Is Trump racist?" and "do racists vote for Trump?" are different questions from "did Trump get elected because of racism?" I don't think the amount of racism in the US suddenly increased from its baseline*, and thus I…
Given that those things existed in the past, I don't think they are sufficient to explain the more unique situation of the present, and thus don't offer a compelling avenue to counteract it
Because it's a facile non-explanation to say people voted for Trump simply because of racism. If we're going to provide overly simplistic one-word reasons I'd proffer "inequality"
Don't forget that same party is also able to change them at any time, Darth Vader style!

I have to admit, my life would be a little more boring without some of the hot takes I find here sometimes Like, maybe I can just buy you a cheeseburger instead of totalling my car
Live Mesh also didn't require you to sync everything to the cloud, in contrast to offerings today. The cloud was just another optional target.
Without even a basic definition of intelligence you can't proclaim "this isn't intelligence". You seem to have settled on "Human Intelligence" but then incorrectly conflate that with "reasoning". Your own examples…

I should have known better than to try an analogy here
The analogy is "just because most X are caused by Y, doesn't mean you can easily test for X by looking at Y" I don't think your first point applies, and I think your second point reinforces the analogy rather than…
If your C code causes a segfault, is it fair to reason that there's a memory management error in the code? Does that make it practical to find where, so that you can just add a check for it?
"Move fast and break things" is probably going to break things I remember there was a recent discussion about "how complex systems fail" and there are usually many "proto-accidents" before the catastrophe…
