I think you are correct that the Democratic Party is much more socially acceptable to support, and that especially today, the penalties for holding the "wrong" opinion are severe and cause people to retreat to the anonymity of venues like Reddit and the voting booth.

However, telephone polling generally matches actual election results closely enough to assume that people feel a similar level of anonymity in the voting booth as they do in a telephone poll. The dismal polling results for Trump in the Bay Area are not because of secret Trump voters, it's because even conservatives don't want to vote for a candidate whose capability, sanity, behavior, and temperament are so clearly unequal to the job at hand.
> dramatically reduce the chance of being hit by a meteor.

As seen from the moon the Earth is only 2 degrees across - that leaves the other 178 degrees wide open for hits.

I doubt it makes much difference to the hit rate - and certainly not "dramatically reduce".
I am right and you're wrong if you disagree.

Hard to make a convincing argument that way.
Views on Global Warming:

"Well, I think the climate change is just a very, very expensive form of tax. A lot of people are making a lot of money. I know much about climate change. ... "

"NBC News just called it the great freeze - coldest weather in years. Is our country still spending money on the GLOBAL WARMING HOAX?"

"I don’t believe in climate change."

"The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive."
> Is Nazism really that bad?

Yes. Please take your Holocaust apologia elsewhere.

Killing millions of people for no other reason than that you don't like their ethnicity is pretty much the baseline of immorality. Heck, killing millions of people for more legitimate reasons (being Nazis) also would be pretty abhorrent.

Also, for the record, "we" are not generally okay with senseless wars. There's a reason that murdering innocent civilians is considered a war crime.
What about the promise of web assembly? I'd be surprised if the dominant front end language used 10 years from now has already been invented.

No, I can't, sorry.

It's not something that can be both summarized and understood.

Look this isn't really a temporary interest for me, I'm something of a 'Thiel-logist'. You know how there exist Kremlinlogists? Same thing as that. I watch every video and read every book he writes or reads. This is not some celebrity fetish, but to do with the rich vein of ideas.

This is because I am convinced something very very important is going on and I want to understand more. I think I understand about half of it and I had a holy fuck mind blown moment a few years ago. Remember how Thiel took out Gawker nearly a decade later. This is as nothing in comparison, this is the grand-daddy of all long games.
It's getting flagged because people are tired of reading about Donald Trump and tired of reading about Peter Thiel. I doubt there's any larger conspiracy.
Lights, camera, cloud: How film is spreading its wings
just stop man. you're sounding desperate. no one is buying it
Yeah, I'm with you. From the article:

A source close to [Thiel] says the investor feels the country needs fixing, and Mr. Trump can do it.

The first part I completely get: there are a lot of things that need fixing. It's the second part that has me scraping my jaw off the floor.
There's an especially interesting picture in the article:

https://static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics/2016/10/16/exomars-lan...

Obviously anything about Mars is interesting, but this picture has a peculiar property. Look at the picture and imagine that the light is coming from the upper right -- when you do that, the crater becomes a dome. If instead you imagine that the light is coming from the lower left, it becomes a crater again.

I've seen this in other ambiguous terrain photographs, but this picture easily supports the ambiguity.
He suggested banning folks with a particular religion from entering the country...that's some crazy dangerous fucked up shit. He has a bunch more crazy policies, but this is the most dangerous and frankly unheard of before Trump.
If you look at the pictures of the number of people in attendance at their respective events one would conclude Trump is ahead.
If you're looking for useful features to build I would find a well being tracker very useful. Exercising isn't my problem. Injuries are. If the bot would manage my schedule so if my back is stiff it recommends certain exercises or if I haven't done cardio in a while it recommends that instead of weights etc it would be fantastic. With ML I can imagine being able to build a statistical model off the back of this that would be able to perfectly curate a program for optimal health based on frequency of exercise, type of exercise and reported well-being.
I wasn't aware either had a proven record of money for favors. Except maybe Trump's donation in Florida.

With massive backing behind Angular and React from giants like Google and Facebook I doubt Elm will make a dent in overall adoption. There are many excellent functional transpile to JS languages out there (Clojurescript is my favourite) but industry wants Javascript. Furthermore, a lot of front-end JS is coupled with back-end Node.js so any new front-end language will need to integrate well with Node.js which is the new Enterprise hotness.

Actually if he loses, he becomes the first investor in a ultra conservative right-wing media empire, Trump Media, which appears to already have quite a large following.
not really. it is really true. can almost guarantee that the IQ percentile of those supporting trump is on average 20+ points lower than the opposite camp. Both income and education level are highly correlated with both IQ and voting against trump.

What was wrong with local storage for page shot?
Senate races? Enthusiasm for Trump is falling and if republicans don't show up to vote then it's very likely that democrats will get control of the senate.

Then there's Palantir. Even if Trump doesn't win, the "law and order" rhetoric is resonating with a lot of americans. Trump wants to ban muslims, put together a deportation force, bring back stop and frisk, more border control, nukes for everyone, boots on the ground to fight ISIS, more surveillance, more military spending. All of these would lead to more government contracts for Palantir.
Yes, but you need an ANT+ power meter on the bike to make it in anyway realistic. More info here:

While the style raised doubts for me too, I then saw the byline and realized, well, he can get away with it. For context, the author is David Chang (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Chang), who has – amongst other accolades – a 2-star Michelin restaurant.

Aside: I also find it very awesome that David Chang made a GenBank reference in this article. :)

It's an attractive idea, especially to web developers, but I think it requires strong evidence. The main problem with the web is that it gives users and developers too much control, while apps favor centralized control, convenience, and safety. Users generally prefer the latter. It is hard to see why the current trends would reverse.
While I don't doubt this, the chance they are in the upper sector is pretty high especially with the wealth concentration being in the top few % (from my understanding).

I feel the descriptor of middle class has moved away from X% disposable income and that you are describing a 'traditional' middle class. I do not live in the US however and could be tainted by my personal experience in AUS.
We do have common ground. The common ground is exactly as you say: real world people with real market experience.

But before I get into that real world example... you just threatened to end the discussion if I disagree with you. This is weak. I am telling you I can end this argument not on a mere disagreement... I can end this argument with factual, non-subjective evidence that will prove you wrong.

Now, onto the real world example: Warren Buffet, arguably one of the most successful investors on the planet. Warren Buffet operates on a investment strategy known as investing on intrinsic value. In other words he believes that the market fluctuations of a stock price by the daily subjective valuations of day traders are meaningless, he peers beyond the noise and picks stocks based off of a very real economic concept called "intrinsic value" or a true value separate from the subjective valuations of people. Intrinsic value is a very real and actual concept. Warren Buffet believes it and many many other real world and experienced investors follow the strategy as well. See sources below:

This link is solid proof intrinsic value exists as a theory in economics:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsic_theory_of_value

This link shows intrinsic value applied in finance:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intrinsic_value_(finance)

This link shows intrinsic value applied as a stock investment strategy:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_investing

This is a biography on warren buffet:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warren_Buffett

Academia and "most people" are not unanimously sided with you. The above argument is solid proof. This is not a mere disagreement and if you end the discussion here it's an admission of total and utter loss.

Because the greatest threat to a hegemony of the wealthy is democracy.

And a candidacy that threatens opponents with prison, encourages voter intimidation, enlists foreign powers for cyberwarfare, intimates that any result will be rigged, distroys the norms critical to government functioning and a dozen other things, is the best investment someone who hates public control of policy could make win or loose.
This is great. Thanks for putting in work towards the goal of a FOSS alternative. I always appreciate the hard work people put in for good principles. Seeing things like this makes me happy.
Hah that's really great. Thanks for elaborating!
> Then there's Palantir.

That's a fair point. Palantir is very well-positioned to be the IBM of Trumpism.
I'm glad to see our Dutch friends have stayed sensible, I'm not-white and I'm voting for Trump because he will not prioritize blacks/mexicans over asian/indian people. There's a huge resentment in the asian communities, and it's super common to say "Fuck white people" "Don't hang out w/ white ppl". Because of built up resentment.

if you're a minority learn the differences between white people and what they believe, you will quickly learn anglo's(Moms) say the love you, but love the "bad kids" the most. Germans(dads) love the good kids the most.

this site is incredible.

The writing is super well done by a guy from Africa who moved to the US, and while in the US learned japanese.

He learned how to speak so well that when he took an interview for a software development job, they asked him for his address (assuming he was japanese) and didn't believe that he wasn't from there.

The site is not just for japanese. Most of the info is general (and uses either japanese or chinese as examples). I recommend it to everyone.
I hope that distinction was made during the survey. From reading the article, I didn't get that feeling.

If I had to pony up $400, I would definitely use a credit card because its what I have on me.
Don't hold your breath. PHP suffers too much from Java envy. PHP5 was game set and match for the PHP Design Patterns crowd and now we have PSRs advocating a coding style in which blank lines and comment-based annotations outnumber lines of real code by a factor of about 10 to 1.
I'm that red haired guy with a trucker hat who knows 9 languages. You may know me from the Internet. The key to learning a lot of languages is total immersion and not being embarrassed for fear of sounding wrong.
This is my thinking too. Anyone who has been paying attention knows that he doesn't have anything closer to a consistent policy in his platform. To be fair, there is a lot of copy-paste from standard GOP platform, but his own speeches and interviews give out the impression that he doesn't have a handle on any of them. So to think that Thiel might have hitched his wagon based on ideology or policy is illogical. On the other hand, some of Trump's impulsive ramblings (dishonor NATO agreements, refuse to pay US debt, start a trade war with China etc.) shows that, if elected, he can potentially create huge massive disruptions to world order. Thiel might be thinking he can either benefit from that or that the status-quo deserves to be destroyed.
GOG tried to cater for both. But the effort was stalled by retarded paranoia of control freaks.

I can't say enough about Mubi. I find its best to start at the expiring films and work up, one or two at a time.

I'll say that I've heard of about 30% of the films that come up (maybe a little more). Not every film is mind-blowing, but there have been plenty of gems.
<it is mostly men who have the kind of knowledge I am interested in accessing.

As a female, I actually find this kind of offensive. There are plenty of intelligent, capable women working in tech, if that is the field to which you are referring, as well as business, healthcare, etc.
The policies on donaldjtrump.com have been the same for a long time, and Trump has not contradicted them for the most part.
Hungarian law says that the employer can only claim IP rights if there was a clear order from the employer to create the new stuff. I think this is a good approach too.
If you don't read the byline (Momofuku's David Chang), you'd be excused for thinking it's written by a doofus who's not really worried about actually constructing an argument as opposed to lining up opinions.

I like Chang, but I can't take his piece seriously with a sentence like this:

> I genuinely don’t give a fuck about any other place on the planet. I just want to go to Tokyo to eat. Look at the other food cities in the world, such as Paris. Can’t live there, because I don’t want to eat only French food. It’s great for a week and then you know what I want? Anything but French food.

I believe he occasionally frequents hip modern French restaurants in Paris, many of which are essentially focused on taking a modern twist on classical "haute cuisine" and making it less pretentious and even more adventurous. So it's a little rich to see him go on about Tokyo when after going to his favorite Ramen joints there a few years ago, I still couldn't find one that could touch my experiences at Kotteri Ramen Naritake in Paris — a decidedly Japanese export run the way a Ramen joint is supposed to run and yet the best Ramen I've ever had anywhere in the world.

Tokyo is an amazing place to eat. No argument about that. But putting down other culinary destinations just because you easily get bored of the main food style there is a little lazy. I've had amazing food in Tokyo without trying to play it safe. Yet, I could flip his "argument" about French food in Paris and say that when you get bored of Japanese food (or Japanese reinventions of other foods), then maybe Tokyo would get old for you.

What's far more likely is that he (Chang) has an intense emotional attachment to Tokyo's food scene and that it gives him perpetual pleasure. And that's great, for him. For anyone curious of his claims, just watch Mind of a Chef's Japan episode with David Chang, it's a marvel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cJm1zny0Bw

PS: Yes, I'm French, from Paris, and just as fucking biased as he is.
Everyone seems to think it's about maximizing his ROI or, less cynical, about economics. But here's a quote from Thiel's speech at the republican convention:

"Instead of going to Mars, we have invaded the Middle East. We don't need to see Hillary Clinton's deleted emails: her incompetence is in plain sight. She pushed for a war in Libya, and today it's a training ground for ISIS. On this most important issue, Donald Trump is right. It's time to end the era of stupid wars and rebuild our country."

He clearly says "On this most important issue, Donald Trump is right" and it's not really surprising, since Thiel is a libertarian.
Fandor is pretty good.

Do we have any evidence that number of people at campaigning events correlates to more votes? If not, why would we conclude that?

Is it not (in absence of any evidence) equally plausible that the type of voter that will vote for Trump is more predisposed to attend a campaign event than other voters?

The record-breaking Republican turnout was due to Trump, and I think it is reasonable to believe that the vast majority of Republicans will vote Trump over Hillary, or 3rd party. At the same time, many independents and Bernie supporters will vote Trump as well. In my mind, Trump is the Republican Obama, and will benefit from many first-time voters, and a large turnout in general. It does not seem to me that Hillary has the same draw. I don't mean to argue with you, only to clarify.
The biggest risk of credit card data being stolen is not loss of money, but identity theft.
This is different.

Just say you were going to vote for Trump. Someone stops you on the street, or call you up; would you admit it?

I wouldn't.

The guy is an absolute joke of a person on so many levels. He's stupid. He's just aweful.

But there's a tiny bit of Trump in a lot of us buried deep in that ID.

Personally, I do think we need to get much more vigilant on immigration, even though Obama has sent more illegials home than any other president. Would I admit this in public--hell no.

And I have never believed in Globilization. Would I admit this at work--hell no.

I really think a lot of people will vote for Trump in the privacy of that booth.

I won't because I won't vote for a president this year, or will I?
What French TV shows did you enjoy? I've been looking for some to watch to improve my listening skills.
I wonder if launching this media outlet is the real purpose of the campaign. It's at least more plausible than the Trump is throwing the election for Hillary conspiracy theory.

Which is why thats an awful gauge of the electorate. The vast majority of voters do not attend political events, and "attendees at events" is really just an uncorrelated measure of "enthusiasm for a candidate amongst their base". If 40% of the country loved him so much that they all showed up at every single rally, yet the other 60% hate him, and will vote for HRC despite not really loving her, then you see a rally filled to the brim with Trump supporters, and nobody at hers, yet his chances are zip. Rally attendance is a meaningless metric.
I would support Thiel, or really, any engineer or tech-related person, being on the supreme court. It is absurd that we have fossils that do not have email accounts making decisions on laws touching on the technological future of the country for the rest of their natural lives.

Min Vid is a great refinement over my video watching workflow...for years I've been using the always-on-top feature of my window manager on Linux to keep a video window open for watching tutorials on YouTube or for binge watching mindless shows while I do mindless grunt work that doesn't need all of my attention but also isn't easy to offload to a script. I dunno how "always on top" is such a seemingly obscure feature that it's never been standard on Windows or (I think) macOS. How do folks live without it?

Anyway, Min Vid means I can use that workflow even on Windows. I never used PiP on televisions, and never understood why it was a thing...but, on my computer I totally want a little video window in the corner!
