If you believe that Trump is no more dangerous than Clinton, your support for Peter Thiel makes sense, and, while I'd implore you to reconsider, I'm content for us to agree to disagree.

But Sam Altman and Paul Graham don't agree with you. They virulently disagree with you. They repeatedly compare Trump to a fascist dictator. They claim Trump is an existential threat to our democracy. Paul Graham said that if Trump wins, he'll "join the resistance".

I agree with Altman and Graham on that. But I feel obligated to point out to them both --- Altman in particular --- that what they say about Trump is incompatible with the manner in which they affiliate with Peter Thiel, who is a part of the Trump campaign.

this charts (as many published polls) are based on very small samples. asking 1000-3000 people. yes those people are selected to sample the whole spectrum, but if they are always the same people, you can not claim that they are representative anymore. as simply by asking the poll questions you are turning group of people who "don't care about the election" into the group "was forced to think about election and now have an opinion".

I presume they won't tell you the wait time upfront. In such a case, calling the cable company will be my secondary activity on a headset while watching a movie or something of that sort. I'm just saying that I'll be prepared for the wait.
Well, it appears they are active in getting rid of people they don't like. If they agree with the person's agenda then they don't seem so anxious to get rid of them.
It's tough, but very fun and rewarding. I dipped my toes into it a while ago and reverse-engineered the data formats for an NES game[1], including their data compression format. You start out knowing nothing, then start slowly putting the pieces together as you figure out what each bit of code does, what this piece of memory holds, how the tile and level map data is stored... Obviously a 6502 hooked up to the NES graphics chip is much simpler than a modern graphically intense video game, but it was a fun and intense experience all the same :) Give it a try sometime.

This is incorrect:

On mobile devices the A-frame framework will use the device sensors to figure out it's relative position.

It will only figure out orientation, not position. Position is impossible to integrate from the low-end IMUs used in smartphones.

" is to make a statement that these are the things Thiel is okay with advocating."

Clinton supporters are never held to this standard.

No one calls on Clinton supporters to publicly disavow her statement about the "basket of deplorables". Clinton also shipped classified information to her basement server and destroyed thousands of records when under subpoena. No one claims that Clinton supporters are supporting this behavior. Indeed, it seems just fine for Clinton voters to support her despite her activities which were, at best, "extremely reckless." Clinton supporters can say that, despite her flaws, they will vote for her.

But for some reason, any Trump voter automatically supports every bad thing he ever did.
I run Disney's open source program. This page is a showcase of all projects from Disney business units. It's currently slanted towards animation because these organizations have been the most prolific to date. We (Disney) expect to broaden the range of projects, to other types of open source projects, for example Dragonchain https://github.com/dragonchain/dragonchain
I thought this was interesting at first. An effort to push the JS environment towards standardization is a much needed initiative.

Then I saw the "initial projects" list.

"Appium, contributed by Sauce Labs, is an open source Node.js server..."

"Interledger.js, contributed by Ripple, enables instant payments and micropayments in any currency..."

"JerryScript, contributed by Samsung, is a lightweight, fully-featured JavaScript engine for Internet of Things..."

"Node-RED, contributed by IBM, is a flow-based programming environment built on Node.js..."

This made it very clear that the founding members of the "JS Foundation" are not interested in developing and promoting the best open source tools, those tools which are most deserving of broad adaption. To them, this is a way to promote their own tools. They aren't doing this for the good of the of JS ecosystem, they are doing it to push their own brands on developers.
Bringing local neural network power to Android via the GPU
The narrowness of career paths for highly specialized attorneys combined with the possibility of entering an altogether different remuneration universe at the law firms the DOJ is theoretically adversarial to is what makes the revolving door spin, and the spinning of the door is what turns "adversarial" into "theoretically adversarial". That is the problem. I didn't say there was an easy solution.

The generalization of this principal to other government institutions (agencies, departments, offices including even the presidency) is one of the great problems of governance of our time. You can take the remuneration discrepancy as the "0=1" conclusion of a reductio ad absurdum argument against unfettered capitalism or as an argument that resistance is futile.
Welcome to /r/programming, where anything JavaScript related gets passionately hated on.

I actually don't know if that is true. I am from a very different background (Chinese) and I don't really suffer the need to buy fashionable new clothes or get the newest phone. As long as I interact with and love my friends and family it is okay.

However, in an American university I feel often left out or ignored because I cannot be as passionate about actors, movies, or similar media as I don't watch films or television out of habit. I feel this can often deprive me of being able to network with cohorts. That's pretty significant.
The original intent of the 2nd amendment (right to bear arms) was to void a scenario like this, by giving enough military power to the people to make impossible for an elected government to switch to autocracy / dictatorship / ... without the approval of the population.

Wether this amendment is still needed, and if it's effective considering the evolution of military technology, is open to discussion, but at least the original constitution tried to avoid this.
That's all well and good. One can criticize NYU's financial aid policies, but to assume that an NYU student is wealthy without knowing anything about them is preposterous.

That Trump's and by extension Theil's actions have a very real set of consequences has NOTHING to do with democracy. The government is not taking action against them, we the people are. The very idea of democracy is that it's the expressed will of the people, filtered through mechanics to make it possible to administrate. In this case the will of a great number of people, including Marco according to the post, is remove support from people who choose to say these damaging things. It's not an incomplete understanding, it's that in their value system, the things being said can have no possible balance and anyone supporting them represents a clear danger to what they feel makes a democratic country great. That you would suggest a lack of understanding and try and use that to defend the very people moving to limit and harm democracy in the USA is condescending and harmful in my opinion. Of course everyone is feel to support who they wish but no one is free from dealing with the fall out from standing with the hateful and bigoted.

AKA, Slippery Slope Fallacy[1].

If it were truly zero sum that could help solve the CO2 increase problem.

But it can be better than that. If you had a zero sum technology that evened out fluctuations in other renewables then you're in the realms of CO2 reduction.

You also may have the possibility of more practical sequestration than CO2 though I can think of a few pitfalls with ethanol lakes, especially around Spring Break time.
Docker for Windows, linked above, and Windows Container Service[0] are two separate things. Docker for Windows runs a linux VM in Hyper-V and allows you to run linux based docker containers. Windows Container Service allows you to run windows based container images (using Hyper-V as a backend) and can use either Docker or Powershell Container Commandlets as a frontend for interacting with those containers.

So, yes Microsoft did implement containers in the Windows kernel, but that isn't what OP is about.

Or perhaps you are hijacking their words and misrepresent their actual opinions.

Perhaps they dont believe its as litterally as you do. It would certainly make sense since claiming Trump is Stalin is as ill informed as it is absurd.

Just like you are ready to ignore your principles for a bigger belief so is Theil. He is not voting for Trump he is voting for change. The very change everyone agrees is needed.
It'd be pretty interesting, though, to see & analyze history through an 800 year stretch of commodity products.
Only if you presume the point is to change Thiel's mind - which it clearly isn't.
I work in IT and it's incredibly hard to find like-minded petrol heads. Seriously, I have people who tell me on almost daily basis that they can't wait until they don't have to drive any more and when all manual cars are banned. It's nonsense. I love driving my car to work and for leisure, I spend at least few hours every week cleaning, polishing, waxing it, it's really my pride and joy. But for a lot of people it's this expensive box that is a constant source of problems and they can't wait to get rid of it.
There's no political argument that you can't turn into a slippery slope like this. You can get to Brendan Eich with just a few more hops from a starting point of "refusing to donate to Trump". So that argument isn't very interesting.

What might interest you more is that I agree with you about Brendan Eich. I think Eich's situation is nothing at all like that of Thiel's. Eich was a full-time employee of Mozilla. From what I know of the situation, Eich hadn't made any of his employees at Mozilla uncomfortable. Eich's support for Proposition 8 was quiet: people dug it out of a database to use against him. And while I disagree with the stance he took against marriage equality, opposition to marriage equality doesn't challenge equal access to the channels of democracy. Eich wasn't campaigning to remove the Muslims from our country, or to imprison those who disagree with him.

What happened to Eich was wrong.

But nothing like that is happening here.
I suspect Sony paid them a boatload of money, then took a look at the $20 tech demo toy they had on their hands and said "we can't sell this for $60," so they had to tack on the resource grind minigame in order to call it a "game." Hence the delays and lackluster final game.

Elites relative to whom? Clinton has decades in the top echelons of power besides being married to an ex-POTUS so I guess it is hard to be more elite on a global scale.

Trump might be elite compared to the average Joe on the street but he has no political history comparable to Clinton.

And the biggest issue of all: Trump seems to be the best candidate to avoid WW III.
Yes. End of story.

The way Democrats are running their campaign they are the real threat to democracy. Newest leak:

For those without time to watch:

Scott Foval, National Field Director at Americans United for Change, discloses a number of unethical (and perhaps illegal) activities on undercover camera conducted by the liberal advocacy group Americans United for Change, with various PACs and the DNC.

Evidence of Democrat organizers paying agitators to disrupt Trump rallies in efforts to smear Trump supporters.

Evidence of collusion between superPACs and the DNC. Foval describes his middlemen who get around the law to commit these crimes.

Discusses strategy for “initiating conflict by having leading conversations with people who are naturally psychotic” – Foval is referring to paying agitators to instigate trouble at Trump events here, calling Trump supporters “naturally psychotic.”

Aaron Black, DNC Rapid Response Coordinator, boasts about planning a Chicago protest at a Trump event. Two Chicago police reporters got hurt at this event.

Scott Foval admits planting a “supporter” (friend of Foval) who gets rough treatment at a Scott Walker event. Foval also staged people in the crowd for a “reaction.”

Scott Foval brags about hiring homeless and mentally-ill people to protest and agitate at various Trump events.

Foval calls half the state of Iowa “racist as fuck.” Wisconsin too.[0]http://regated.com/2016/10/project-veritas-clinton-camp-corr... [1]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IuJGHuIkzY
The original comment I am replying to seems to oppose clean energy that don't accumulate VS nuclear power which would accumulate to be used later. At least that's how I understood it.

I just wanted to point out that there is no difference there between nuclear and solar/wind.
Efficiency can't be very good because you need to burn ethanol limiting things to ~20-40%. Ethanol is great because it's stable and portable. So, it's just a question of cost.
Good answer. So, what we're really boiling down to, is that it's unfair that Peter Thiel has more influence than other people?
Thanks for posting this! I've wanted to do something useful and/or helpful with my spare computer + bandwidth, so this is lovely.
Sorry to disappoint you, but sometimes simple solutions solve big problems :)
Change: no WW III. Seems good enough of a difference to me.
I think the group he is referring to is my parent's demographic, working class Americans in factories. Whereas the Democratic party once supported labor movements and unionization as a primary cause, social welfare and rights issue have moved to be the primary (Please note this is a generalization, but mirrors their perspective).

The result is that they see a candidate who promises isolationist policies (Keep our manufacturing jobs here, as they've seen them go to China and Mexico for decades) as a more viable candidate than one who continues to drive for more globalization.

In passing, I'd like to note that my father actually preferred Cruz, which may match your description slightly better, while my mother preferred Trump largely for the reasons I listed above.
Docker captain here. Starting from windows 10 anniversary (which should be free to upgrade) and windows server 2016 windows can natively run Docker containers without hyper-v. Even though some features might be missing, docker and microsoft are working hard to get everything done. There are plenty of tutorials in the web about how to setup .net and mysql apps natively on windows. I totally recommend it.
Probably not much less secure than calling and giving your CC to a person jotting it down or emailing with the same details. Most of the hotel custom booking forms look like '90s HTML3 pages so the alternative is usually not better anyway.
I think the idea is that you thinking they are stupid is much different from being fired from a job (or removed as a partner, however you would frame this scenario). The changing externalities leads to that gray area.
This is exactly what's happening with today's political correctness.

I need to watch the daily news so politicians and news anchors can disseminate the naughty words of the week. Otherwise, I might unintentionally let the 'wrong' thing slip at work and get fired.

Being a blond haired, blue eyed Caucasian programmer, my manager is constantly looking for a reason to replace me since the company implemented it's diversity program. I'm one of the highest producing employees and I feel discriminated against, but it's politically incorrect to state this.
Yes it would. But if we can switch from a losing game to a zero sum game, that could still help prevent more climate change in the future.

Right now, the best solution in most cases is probably renewables and batteries. But this could be a useful solution for something like air travel, where batteries are currently too big and heavy to allow for a good zero-carbon approach.

"Oh no, someone supports a political agenda different from mine. I'd better bring out the cannons and shame anything even remotely related to this person, because I don't agree with his political views!"
All you’re doing is trying to shame Altman and Y Combinator supporters into disowing Thiel. The great thing about what Altman is doing is that he doesn’t feel so morally superior to others that he’ll either see people share his views, or have them removed. You should learn to criticise ideas, not people.
A consequence of living in a country founded on freedom from religious persecution, something that Trump's supporters badly need to be reminded of.

There are existing alternatives, today, that are profitable. What makes you think it's not possible to use something else ?
Google Fi is an MVNO, one that entered into an area with arguably insufficient competition. Regardless of how you might rate the level of competition before Google Fi entered the market, it has definitely added ambitious customer-oriented features.

Its device-dependence exists because it's a unique dual-provider MVNO (Sprint and T-Mobile). This allows them to broker the best deal for the end consumer. But the bar is high -- devices must support dual-SIM, which is rare. Devices without explicit support aren't barred from Google Fi but may not get the full features and you can't get help with those devices if you run into issues.
Docker (on Linux): years of unstable releases, breaking changes and weird issues you'll only find out in production.

Now available for windows! :D

On the bright side. Maybe that will make finding the perfect combination (i.e. one that doesn't crash) of OS + kernel + docker version + filesystem easier because there is limited diversity on Windows.
This is serious question-begging, though.

Most of Trump's supporters don't accept that he's racist, or generally sexist, or the other charges being made. The ones I've talked to largely believe that he's just rude, and sometimes directs that through traits like race, gender, and disability. On policy, they would say that opposing things like illegal immigration isn't actually racism.

Laugh at that if you want, say they're stupid, but realize they're saying the exact same thing about you and the claim that Hillary is dangerously corrupt. "No she isn't, it's just..." - same structure.

My point is that you can't rescue a stance of "fire Trump supporters" by saying he's the bad guy. If that were consensus reality, the election would be over.

So you're absolutely opening the door to retribution from people who think the same way in reverse. That's exactly why the value of having a norm against punishing people for holding popular opinions, no matter how divisive.
> Makers aren't interested in paying for software because they don't generally make money off what they make

I'm not sure this is true. Makers will pay money for other tools and materials (some of which are quite expensive) without any expectation that they'll make that money back.

How many of their existing 10,000 monthly active users would be happy to pay for the service?
Disney probably doesn't need a blockchain, but they do a fair bit of research. Considering Disney already has a relationship with its customers, a centralized system works best. In fact, this is what they're doing now with their wristband payment/identity system. Considering they just invested $1bn into this, I suspect they're going to be using it for quite some time.

I have been singing in the shower for a considerable amount of time. Still no singing expertise.

In both cases it is immediatly audible/visible in the output.
The way I see it, blogs, websites and free apps will continue to thrive with:

- Affiliates (already popular)

- Selling collateral products, such as books, merchandise or premium memberships (already popular)

- Native advertisement (on the rise)

- Sponsorship (on the rise)

- Crowdfunding (on the rise)

- Micropayments (in it's early days)

Those monetization strategies can be used singularly or all together, which will also give a good revenue diversification.

The more natural substitute to traditional advertisement is obviously native advertisement and sponsorship. Those two alternatives require a more direct connection between publishers and advertisers/sponsors, leading to a completely different - less scalable, less optimized, but more effective and user friendly - approach to marketing and monetization.

So in conclusion, blogs/sites won't die with the decline of advertisement.
