I'm not sure what you specifically mean by "such a registry", but if you read further, he clarifies his comments to MSNBC by saying he means a registry for Syrian refugees.

After Trump’s tweet, Fox News asked him about his position on a Muslim registry.

"Let's hear it directly from you," said host Kimberly Guilfoyle. "Would President Donald Trump support a full Muslim database?"

"Basically the suggestion was made and (it’s) certainly something we should start thinking about," Trump said, repeating that the reporter presented the idea. "But what I want is a watch list. I want surveillance programs. Obviously, there are a lot of problems. … But, certainly, I would want to have a database for the refugees, for the Syrian refugees that are coming in because nobody knows where they're coming from."

Guilfoyle followed up: "So to be clear, you are not saying anything with respect to a religious database. You are talking about the Syrian refugees in light of the national security development affecting this country as we speak here tonight."

Trump said he didn’t hear the MSNBC reporter’s question clearly, "but even if I did, I mean, I want databases for the Syrian refugees that Obama is going to let in if they come in."
Trump I suspect will be very similar to George W Bush.

From all accounts he simply doesn't have the intellectual stamina to handle the rigours of the job. And I don't mean that in a negative way he is just more of a hands on, energetic, get shit done sort of guy. So in order to survive he is going to delegate to people like Guilani, Christie, Gingrich, Carson etc. Some of the most shameless, self serving and unethical people around in politics.
So, "no"? And no because it's a problem that already existed and keeps getting worse?

Tell me: Where's the Godwin line, exactly? You railed against ubernostrum just because he compared a current situation to one in the 1930s and what you get out of this is that America's safe: should Trump turn into Hitler, America is safe because you, and surely lots of others, will stand up to the government!

Goody. Well, I feel better now, whew!

You're a pragmatist, right? So tell me: Where is that point where you, and many others, stand up to the growing problem? Is it when the people rise up and protest? (They already have.) Is it when people start dying? (Many are). Or do you wait until a wall is being built, religions are being rejected at the border and the targeted groups are being threatened on the street?

Where is that fucking line? Do thousands have to die? Does it have to be tens, hundreds of thousands? Is it when it hits 7 digits?

You won't stand up to all this nonsense? Fine. I fully realize you don't have the logistics for it. Nobody does.

No worries, you won't have to -- an ethnic cleansing is, as you said, mathematically close to 0. And really, there'll be nobody left by the time it gets to that point, because you're not standing up now.

> No, collecting rent is not work or a job.

I rent, by choice. My landlord takes the risk of owning the property, and I pay a premium for that. Something breaks, I make a call and it's his responsibility. Just because some landlords are bad people doesn't mean landlords are bad people in general. I appreciate the benefits I get from renting (and, to be fair, from having a good landlord).

By your logic, owning a small company with some employees is passive income and "bad", because you have people doing work for you. Some small company owners are bad people but that doesn't mean all of them are (and, in fact, we tend to consider them fondly from what I've seen).

Great writeup!

Notice that range stops just shy of 2π. Floating point math sometimes produces a final angle indistinguishably close to 2π, adding one extra vertex to our n-gon. To see for yourself, change (- tau 0.000001) to tau and set the number of sides to 6. You’ll see an extra point in the output very close to the starting point.

This is a "trick" that you find everywhere in graphics programming, and I can't believe we've been programming for over half a century and still have to deal with crap like that in our tooling. It leads to code that, while readable to the initiated programmer, is not what it should be.
To determine correctness, the adjudicator requires knowledge outside the system. In the scientific method, this is done by generating falsifiable hypotheses and performing the experiment. Failing that, you have to fall back on heuristics, like "what I already believe", Occam's razor (simplest theory consistent with observations wins), or reliance on authority/consensus.

Consistency is simply majority wins, which completely stifles new ideas or minority opinions.
Autocracy: Rules for Survival
Peter Thiel wrote a book called The Diversity Myth where he said that race mixing would destroy white culture.

Here's a list of more of his extreme views: http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-07-21/the-strang...
"source_is_trustworthy" applies to all sources, not just "MSM". As I said, I don't have anything right now that I can point to and say "If they say it, I trust it."

I used to try to apply a correctional factor, but I've found it not even worthwhile anymore. I honestly don't know entirely why. I don't know if the news has gotten that much more biased to the point where it almost swamps the signal entirely, or if the combined financial pressures away from expensive real reporting and towards click-bait headlines has removed the signal, or what, but beyond very bare facts they just aren't worth much anymore. It is also possible this has always been the case and I wasn't aware enough to realize it; there's some classic history stories that back that possibility up.

I do know primary sources are getting easier and easier to consult directly. Which could itself also be a reason my opinion of them has plummeted so much in the past 10 years; it was a lot harder to see through media spin and simplification (deliberately for their audience, and accidentally when they in fact don't understand what's going on themselves, see especially science journalism for that) when they were the only source of information.

Pollsters who predicted Trump win benefit from industry's miss
Barely half the country bothered to vote. Half of that number voted Trump. So, 25% of the country determined the next 4 years.
Just curious, how portable is that car seat, and would you mind providing a link?

Most car seats I've seen are difficult to transport, mainly because they are heavy, bulky, don’t fit onto a stroller, and they certainly don’t roll. Once I found out Uber had that feature in New York I didn't even bother doing additional research for that trip, but could benefit from the knowledge in future trips.
Enact a Land Value Tax. In a squeezed market like Vancouver most of the value in houses is the plot of land underneath them, not the "bricks & mortar". By taxing the value of the land rather than the property on top of it you won't penalize people for renovating or knocking down an old building and replacing it with a newer one. Hopefully the tax is high enough to put off speculators and bring prices to a more reasonable level (because massive swings in land value of 20% per year will increase the tax burden).
Wow, that's an incredibly high tax! I bet it works pretty well, I'd want to offload that property damned fast if I couldn't rent it.
It looks like AliExpress have put some of their prices up in the last week, so they can "reduce" them for this sale. The sale price seems to match exactly the price I was seeing last week.

I noticed this for a few random items I had open in tabs, but hand't committed to buying.

Also, I'm in the UTC−05:00 timezone, but for me the sale doesn't start until 3am, so midnight UTC−08:00.
The world is overpopulated right now and would be better if 90% of living people didn't exist. If I had to pick America with the Republicans gone or Democrats gone I'm leaning towards Democrats.
He seems to believe that climate change is "more pseudoscience" [than science], at least that was his opinion when Glenn Beck interviewed him in 2014.
I dont mean to sound like a smart alec but "healthy democracy" does not describe America in my view.
> people you do business with have political opinions you don't agree with

Yes, they do. However, opinions and material support are different things.

> are you personally just going to stop doing business with 49% of the country that voted differently?

Expressing your opinion with a vote and funding a campaign with >$1M are not anywhere close to equivalent.

> half the country felt ostracized and decided to lob a brick through the window of washington

That's exactly what happened, as expected[1]. Unfortunately, most people were more interested in playing political games or blaming their favorite scapegoat.

I know it's pedantic, but barely half the eligible electorate bothered to vote. And half of them elected Trump. We have no idea what the other half were doing or thinking, and can only guess they did not feel compelled to participate.

I think there were a few celebrity deaths that were really unexpected, especially Prince (who died of an accidental drug overdose) and David Bowie (who hadn't revealed he had cancer and outwardly seemed to be healthy and active), so they hit people especially hard.

And those came on top of the incredibly bitter political situation in the U.S., the Brexit vote and refugee-related strife in the E.U., rising authoritarianism in Russia and China, and a number of high-profile terrorist attacks and some serious natural disasters.

There's lots of development, but it takes time to see the effects of that. The recent spike in prices has been extremely fast, up by 20% in 2015. Also, the city has to approve any increases in density, which doesn't happen overnight. Faster than silicon valley, though.
Wow. Should be interesting to see what happens in the next recession. My guess is that property values will get hammered down, and the city will lose much more than 1%. Not to mention the money people will lose selling property in exacerbated conditions.

No and never. Tolerance means I don't shoot him for being a Nazi, even if I would like to. I can earnestly hope his lawnmower takes off a hand and that his cholesterol levels are none too good, and I remain tolerant of him. Toleration has nothing to do with being nice, it has to do with a recognition of legal status and human rights. Fuck your hypothetical Nazi and fuck his lawnmower.

What you describe is functionally the tacit endorsement of abhorrent views. Every moment of every day is political; act like it or don't, but you can't change that it is true.
I agree that if someone has to get out their credit card, they're likely willing to pay more than $5/yr.

The Rust release cycle is six weeks.

They could, but this counts people who have landed a patch, not opened a PR. That many people got a patch into this release.
"Lots of individuals who Trump "owes" through either money or support they provided to him; pure cronyism."

Trump is the most 'free' President in modern history.

He 'owes' the least, to the fewest people.

This is one thing even the center-left press were talking about.

As for Thiel - $1M might seem like a lot - but Trump doesn't really 'owe' Thiel anything, because Thiel doesn't have direct future influence etc., and Trump doesn't need him in the future.

For example: Bill Maher gave $1M to Obama. For that you get some friendly things, but Obama didn't need Maher after that.

Hillary is not directly uber wealthy - and she accepted $57M from private individuals and businesses while she was Sec of State - for which she provided mostly small favours (introductions).

Trump had the smallest team in Presidential history, the banks were mostly betting on Hillary etc..

I don't really like Trump, but he's largely unburdened by having to hand out appointments.

He'll give them to those that 'stuck by him' i.e. Guliani etc. and scorn on the old Bush guard.
It gets used most to enable returning from the outer function while within loop-body-like procs. Rust iterators used to be like that too (pre-1.0), but they switched to the current style to get rid of that complexity.

The build quality is fine. I like Lenovos, but I can't buy them anymore...it's more the malware that bothers me. And not so much the malware, but the fact that the company was caught twice doing it, once being a BIOS malware that kept reinstalling itself if removed.

That shows fairly malicious intent on behalf of Lenovo. They just can't be trusted, at least not after a few years with a clean record.
The DNC was caught red handed funding political operatives to organise and fund protests at trump events that started the violent riots that unfolded. There is numerous videos of Trump supporters being assaulted by Democratic thugs. And at this very moment protest organised by MoveOn.org are smashing windows and starting fires in Oakland, LA, NY and other Democrat controlled cities.

I do not see any healthy democratic virtue there at the DNC. It looks a lot like third world political intimidation tactics and violence.

>>If people are no longer free to use words or social stigma to advance their views and opinion, because "tolerance," then what do we have left?

I agree with you. But we cannot disregard the dishonest behaviour performed by most leftists/liberals over the years. The leftists/liberals hurl so much social stigma against the republicans/Christianity but they dishonestly and criminally keep mum about e.g. Islam. Sam Harris and Bill Maher have pointed this out beautifully at [1] and [2].

The leftists have never allowed anyone to socially stigmatize Muslims about their faith in the very vicious, barbaric and most importantly "the most intolerant" ideology of Islam. So now this has came around them.

Mainstream left/liberal camp is completely dishonest about its take on the issue of intolerance of Islam.

Sadly but not surprisingly people like Trump will succeed to exploit such thing.

The saner people in the left should reflect on this dishonest behaviour of the mainstream/vocal leftists and must do something about it, else the intolerance will just grow.

I saw the same tour in Los Angeles, and it stands as my favorite show. He and the band controlled the room and it was just amazing, beginning to end.
I looked at your article and it seems he's just saying that when women were enfranchised, the type of democracy we had became less supportive of libertarianism.

I have no idea whether that's true or not, but misquoting him is not contributing to an intelligent dialogue.
facebook will be less effective as a medium/content distributor if people become aware of the filtering that they do; i think they are shooting themselves in the foot if they start to actively censor the messages, people will just move on to twitter for politics and use facebook for the personal stuff only.

trust the market, there is plenty of competition that puts things into their proper place. Facebook doesn't own their users either.
Ehh, I'm one of those people, and it's a lot to me. I've been having trouble pulling the trigger on a new $2K laptop. I'm generally pretty frugal though.
That's not quite accurate. What he did say was bad enough without exaggeration for effect. He said women voting led to less libertarianism, and he regards less libertarianism as a tragedy. He claims that he supports women voting.

He also said that 'democracy and freedom are incompatible' because the masses don't vote for his libertarian paradise.
So, Go with a more expressive type system is a worse Go?
The proposed fines for trying to defraud the system are much higher than paying the 1%/year tax. It's like parking: pay $5 to park for an hour, or take a 1 in 5 risk of a $100 fine. Most people pay for parking.

EDIT: and the goal isn't to make revenue, it's to free up rental stock. If all the money collected goes towards enforcing the system and 20,000 vacant units end up in the rental market, then the policy is a total success.
Wasn't Trump rallying against such crony corruption aka 'pay for play'?

He may have, but like most everything he says it needs to be understood as "post-truth", and meant for the emotional impact only -- not the actual substance.
He said that women are a tough constituency for libertarianism and capitalism, but that "It would be absurd to suggest that women’s votes will be taken away." How on earth are you getting "women shouldn't be allowed to vote" from that?
People here giving Thiel a free pass on his views and support for bigotry is just disgusting.
What is your argument?
Ok, it is a skill keeping a train of thought going with those camera shutters going off 50 times a second. [1]

I didn't see what you saw, but Trump sure looks tired. Anyone would be, I have no idea how they keep the pace they do. Oldest President-elect in history.

My first executive order as President of the United States would be to ban camera shutters at my press conferences.

This would be fantastic...the closest of getting Elon Musk into the driver's seat. Mike Pence being a huge space advocate and Thiel wanting nothing more than technological progress to pick up speed, this is a very positive development.
It seems that if you oppose an elected government, as in "muster all of its leverage, economic and otherwise, in the fight to curtail the power of Thiel's organization (The Trump Administration)", you're opposing democracy.
Really? This is the language you want to use at this point? Even jokingly suggesting preferring that one class of people be removed?

If people down vote or flag your comment are you going to complain?
Such a comment betrays an incredibly unsophisticated understanding of the issues being discussed. Perhaps a revisit to McLuhan's maxim would be enlightening:

Rust uses the train release model which releases every 6 weeks [1]. It's definitely possible for someone to have an open PR for a year that's not in this list. I'm pretty sure this list is generated by running `git log --format='%aN' 1.12.0..1.13.0 | sort -u`.

Yeah, till the other states take the water rights away. Or the conservative sierras secede in turn and then you have no snowmelt either.

But really, this is ill-advised. It's the same thing in Alaska when they don't like the winner -they whine. People don't realize that as LatAm immigrants assimilate into the fabric and Americanize, they tend to drift conservative, so be careful what you wish for.

Also, remember, once California's electoral college is disbanded, goodbye democrats for what, 40, 50 years in the rest of the states? For this reason democrats in the other states would be against it --they'd lose their California democratic bank (monetarily, electorally and congressionally)
