At this point, with the constant talk of how the election will be rigged and occasional talk of assassinating his opponent, a vote for Trump is a vote against the very foundations of democracy itself. It's no longer about decency, but about preserving the basis of our nation.

I respect everyone's right to express their views, whatever they may be, but there's no obligation to support people whose views I find reprehensible. And when someone supports those reprehensible views with a big chunk of cash, why shouldn't I object?

I'd be more troubled by time and effort spent promoting ad hominem arguments and active censorship of discussions about theories that can actually be refuted (and the seemingly bare interest in even refuting them).
Seeing a black and white description of an explosion estimated at 10,000 tons of TNT is still mind-boggling. Even harder to believe that within a decade or so there were explosions of 100,000,000 tons of TNT. E=MC2 gets big in a hurry.

If anything, that website you linked is batshit crazy. At least Wikileaks had the sense to delete the tweets.
If this is just a matter of mr. Assange paying for his own 3G connection then indeed this is a stunt.

But why would WikiLeaks sacrifice their reputation like that?
I'm sure the US Govt would love to give him a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 to use.

But seriously, if you were him, how confident would you be that the phone wasn't tampered with, no matter who you received it from? How could Assange trust anyone at this point? I'd imagine he would be quite paranoid given what he deals with and probably more so from the period of confinement.
The guy is locked with Ecuadorian TV and English food. It is completely plausible that he goes batshit crazy at times. :-)

I don't know if VMs are as good a solution as a RaspberryPi(-alike).

VMs are part of the 'important' machine, rather than being separate; using the same keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc. there's always the risk of e.g. typing into the wrong 'important' terminal by mistake.

Plus, a VM is like a "computer simulator" rather than a computer; introducing a guest OS certainly wouldn't prevent me wanting to play with the host OS, and I'd worry that keeping the host off-limits would allow "magical thinking" regarding how the machine operates.

It's also probably more empowering to be given a real, physical box too. Whilst the RaspberryPi is inexpensive it's still a real computer, running real software, which a child can own and make their own. VMs, like all virtual entities, can't be "owned" in the same way (e.g. see copyright).

Secret trials and convictions? Don't exist in the US. Also, evidence cannot be used in court but withheld from defense attorneys. You're just making this stuff up. There are no secret prisons either. If you're talking about battlefield prisons for captured combatants, that's obviously different than the criminal justice system, and is par for the course in warfare.

You can definitely have secret warrants. How could you not? Imagine if the cops had to publish the details of wiretaps. What use would they be? Nevertheless, the secrecy must be justified and approved by a judge every few months.
The thing is, that's what people said about his previous work, and so much of that was discredited, it's hard to believe it this time. Definite case of boy-who-cried-wolf, for me.

I will admit I'm biased: I find the allegations very difficult to believe and their timing extremely convenient. That doesn't mean they aren't true (any more than the sex assault allegations against Trump are false because they only just came out recently), but rather that further scrutiny is reasonable.

There's also the argument that there's a big difference between individuals in the campaign doing something, and the campaign endorsing/encouraging/demanding something. That defense has been used by the Trump campaign whenever it finds anti-Semitic, white nationalist or obviously racist campaign operatives in the media (as has happened several times), so if it applies there, it ought to apply here.
Making it a preference means creating a settings UI. People have their preference, but they are also adaptable. It's not immediately clear that a "VR" experience (not that I'd call 360° photo "VR") would benefit from a preferences UI.

> Thiel sees Hillary as a bigger threat to his interests than Trump. To prefer an outcome does not imply you favor all aspects of that outcome.

It is however evidence of Thiel's values. He's chosen his side, and it is perfectly reasonable for people judge him on the fact that cares less about Trump's willingness to stoke hatred than whatever flaws he finds in Hillary Clinton.
> but they are blatantly using this term to spread to say whatever they want.

That's what pretty much all major western media outlets do as well.

> Their defence is of course 'freedom of speech'. But what if that 'freedom of speech' breaks laws (usually it's on the brink of the law)?

Like what laws?

> What if their reporters are filming themselves near infamous rocket artillery launchers[1][2], launchers who are hitting civilians [3][4]?

Whats wrong with filming action? Seems like courage and dedication to me.

> But what if they say that oppression against occupied soviet countries didn't happen?

You don't realize how hilarious that is? You can find 100 equivalent western propaganda pieces for every one of RT's. I don't see people like you being against those media outlets.

> Someone like RT will never say two different opinions and most importantly not even mention another opinion exists.

Yes they will. They invite plenty of people for interviews that criticize Putin and Russia, and actually give them decently long time which Western media almost never do (like Noam Chomsky - youtube it).

> Russian information channels work very well, they just work with KGB and Goebbels strategies.

Not nearly as well as Western media channels. Russian propaganda is children's cartoons compared to Western propaganda.

> "Freedom of speech" is no more freedom of speech when it breaks laws or is blatant and utter photoshoped lie.

Funny how you only have a problem with this when its a particular party expressing views you happen to disagree with.

The problem with this line of thinking is it ignores the needs of the vast vast majority of current consumers. Most don't ever hit that wall you insist is inevitable. The ability to hit the hardware ceiling, via the investment of a steep learning curve is not attractive or necessary for most people. You are not a model consumer.
Extraterrestrial space is an expensive medium, and not only for putting things into. We may want space manufacturing capability but we definitely don't want space junk orbiting around.

>Where are the main actors like Facebook, Google, Microsoft or Netflix?

I'd argue that the main actors (and others) have driven the web backwards, not forwards. They've done this by the push towards capturing consumers in a walled garden, the rejection of open standards, the embrace of DRM, the selling of user private data for profit, etc.

FBI report. Of course, it's a "joke" that Hillary "can't recall." Even though, "The statement drew laughter from the room which quickly died off when the Secretary kept talking in a terse manner, sources said. Clinton said Assange, after all, was a relatively soft target, “walking around” freely and thumbing his nose without any fear of reprisals from the United States. Clinton was upset about Assange’s previous 2010 records releases, divulging secret U.S. documents about the war in Afghanistan in July and the war in Iraq just a month earlier in October, sources said."

Calculating the present value of a perpetual annuity seems appropriate.
I take it they do not factor in currency, which would be factor if paying via credit card and exchange rates change if paying in another currency than home.

That would be I feel very dynamic in part, though still something that plays more of a factor in price than other aspects.

I'm not sure how much Airlines adjust for that and given all fuel is ties tot he USD($) then more a factor for non USD pricing with the exchange rate of the USD.

Now a feature that monitored that and fuel cost changes could potentially give people a heads up before the airlines adjust and might be a good feature.

Though I can count the number of flights I have taken on my hands, so not that afay with the dynamics Airlines use to adjust prices and the frequency.
>(There really is no power for government to regulate marriage, especially at the federal level.)

I'd claim in many european nations rising is motivated by percieved better chances to have a psychologically fullfilling career, rather than considerable improvement in finances - since the increases are not that thrillingly high. But does this make the urge to rise pointless?

In my country (Finland), for instance we don't force anyone to live in the streets. IMO, this creates huge amount of value from second order network effects - better childhoods, better social stability, people are more employable (if we only had jobs). I hope we can still afford this amount of social wellfare after a few decades.

Newspapers are in a no win situation, so every move they have made since the late 90s has been a mistake, because there is no way out. Digital is free. We can all read free journalism until doomsday. A couple business publications (WSJ, FT) can erect a paywall and succeed -- most can't. Print readership is aging and shrinking as it dies. It is not the future. Print will become a luxury good, and newspapers will produce rare objects for a higher price to be enjoyed by a smaller audience of connoisseurs. The days of massive print readership are dwindling rapidly, even if print remains (decreasingly) profitable.
The problem is that there is no single price at which you can fill the plane enough and cover expenses. Set the price too low and your plane fills up but your costs are not covered. Set your price too high and you have so many empty seats that even with the handful of people paying outrageous prices you can't cover the cost of crew, fuel, and ground services. This means you have to sell some tickets at low prices, to attract the masses, and some tickets at high prices, to cover expenses. But now you have the problem of trying to prevent the people who can afford and are willing to buy expensive tickets from using the cheap fares. This is what leads to all the obscure rules about saturday night stays and layover impact and time of booking and whatnot. For a lot more info on this, see http://www.demarcken.org/carl/papers/ITA-software-travel-com...

Interestingly, low-fare airlines have tried working around the problem by setting prices super low, such that they lose money on each flight by default, but making it up in auxiliary services - either selling addons that cost them nothing on margin to implement (priority boarding, early checkin, seat selection), upselling external high-margin services (car rental, hotel bookings, airport transfer services, insurance, phone cards) or directly extracting money from customers (obtrusive advertising, in-flight sales pitches, extremely punitive charges for baggage/airport checkin/over-weight fees/not following obscure rules). This seems more sustainable than the traditional approach of customer price segmentation if price transparency increases over time.
Wrong about what exactly? There are hundreds of aspects to this story. There is no monolithic "right" or "wrong".
> and select the right tradeoff between cost, quality and longevity

That's the crux of the matter. What's the "right" tradeoff?

With things like waste disposal an externality, often times the "right" tradeoff is one that encourages frequent replacement. At best, this encourages a materialistic (wasteful) culture. At it's most cynical, this is a way of padding corporate profits by encouraging recurring revenue.

Don't get me wrong -- this is the rational choice when all incentives are towards maximizing shareholder value. I think the question is what principles do we want guiding the choice of the right tradeoff?

> How could not having all that free advertising from flight search engines possibly be a good thing for Southwest?

It's not 'free'. See this quora answer for more: (https://www.quora.com/Why-does-Southwest-choose-not-to-offer...)

Short Answer: It costs money to be there and they can control the variables and environment better on their website.

Long Answer: It dates back to Southwest's routes in competing with the car for travel. In order to be price competitive, they did not want to pay travel agents a 10% commission. (This was the 1970s) So they sold tickets by the phone, at the airport, or at their office, but always direct.

As computers evolved, travel agents began connecting to an airlines fares by computer, rather than books and a phone. Airlines began developing proprietary systems for managing ticket sales, allowing other airlines to be in their systems for a fee. The biggest were Apollo (United) and Sabre (American). Southwest still refused to pay the distribution costs of the tickets.

When the internet became more broadly available to consumers, Southwest jumped on the opportunity, becoming the first major airline to sell tickets online. Other airline followed and soon after, 3rd party sites came to be, using the GDS' (Global Distribution Systems) like Sabre and Apollo to display all of the flights and fares. Acting like modern day travel agents, and putting many travel agents out of business.

Today, while Southwest has become a much larger airline, it still does not want to pay the GDS' for access to their systems. However, today Southwest has a much stronger brand which can drive more people to their website. And by having the website as the primary channel of distribution, they can control a lot of things that they could not within the confines of a GDS.

It has been debated whether the GDS' are really necessary anymore as middlemen. And besides Southwest, other airlines are trying to bring more people to their controlled distribution channel. In the past few days, Delta and American have removed their flight from several 3rd party websites.

Almost all flight searching / pricing tools have comically bad user interfaces. It's as if the product designers at these companies deliberately went out of their way to limit my options and make me search over and over and over and over.

When's a cheap day to fly to and return from Las Vegas? Sorry. Can't answer that, you need to specify the exact day you want to depart and the exact day you want to come back, and we might let you look at results + or - 3 days, unless you don't specify the exact departure airport.

These sites all seem to be geared toward business travelers who must travel on particular days from and to particular airports. Anything off that beaten path is an exercise in frustration.
Being aware of a certain possibility, and pointing out this possibility for others to see, is not an accusation - particularly because I said and as you acknowledged it was not intended as accusation nor did I jump to that conclusion personally.
