That's not surprising. Hollywood is egregiously wasteful in its spending. If it takes $100M to film a movie, that equates to ~100 Series A rounds. With a ~80% write-off rate, that's ~20 successful companies for roughly the same money (except the money won't be sitting at the bottom of your DVD rack a year later).

I've been a Netflix subscriber for a decade.

Unfortunately, it's been more and more challenging for me to find 4- & 5- star stuff in their streaming interface.

Perhaps the thumbs-up will help expose those things, or at least help me hide the thumbs-down things.
"compelling message for the working class"

They have a compelling message for the working class. It's a message of contempt and hate. The long marriage of the working class and Democrats has ended and it wasn't the working class that walked out the door. The Democrats are down to the comfortable professional class preening its "values" and a coalition of grievance groups. Everyone else is on the other side pulling back on the stick to stop the dive before we run out of altitude.

No, I am not projecting. The most common Thiel criticism I am aware of (especially in tech circles) is that he supported Donald Trump (along with nearly half of all voters). It is ridiculous to call half of all US voters "monsters". So if there is something else that makes him a person worthy of such a dramatic label, I am sure everyone would love to know what it is. If it's just more politically-motivated Valley-bubble drivel, then there is nothing to see here.

Build vs. Buy: How to blow $100,000 saving money
"the ability and optimism to work your way up without limits" is absolutely the classic American ideal, but it requires that everyone is given half a chance. If you're too poor to go to college, or can't access treatment for a debilitating illness, or subjected to racist/homophobic/whatever discrimination, you've already lost out on the American dream. Compare the "basic resources required to start working your way up" to Sanders' planned "handouts" and you'll quickly realize they match up very well.
Nothing in the Constitution says that due process only applies to citizens.

Obviously if they're undocumented immigrants then they're criminals. My point is that ICE can't consider them to be definitely criminals until that's actually proven in court. You can't just say, well, ICE is totally sure that José over there is undocumented, so it's OK if ICE treats him like a criminal even though they haven't gone to court.

I'm not saying we shouldn't guard the borders or enforce immigration law. I'm saying that it's still law enforcement and the ideas of innocent until proven guilty, and requiring warrants for searches, still applies. Or at least should apply.

Not every US citizen has a social security card, passport, or even a birth certificate. There are quite a few US citizens that get detained by ICE:

http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/12/22/504031635/...

And yes, sometimes they do get deported:

Facebook is an endpoint people choose to interact with explicitly and voluntarily. If FB collects information, they are collecting information about communication to which they are a 1st party.

The first part of this comment is in fact what I'm saying. The second part, where you call this "witch hunting", I don't agree with. I think our profession is way, way too detached from the consequences of the applications of our work.

Nobody bats an eyelash when doctors refuse to help with executions or torture, or pharma companies resist selling execution drug cocktails. But for some reason technologists are just fine selling the technical building blocks of a surveillance and mass deportation system. That's not right; it's a sign of the diminished professionalism of our field versus other professions, and it does need to change.

> If there is something else that would make a reasonable, politically neutral person agree that he is a "monster,"

"Politically neutral" is a big qualifier to throw in there. You're basically asking why, ignoring his most controversial aspects, someone would find him controversial.

I'm a little unsure how anyone would even approach your question. Thiel is a deeply political person - member of the Libertarian party, for one - how does a "politically neutral" analysis of him rate that? Ignore his politics entirely? To do so is to remove the obvious reason that some consider him to be a "monster". It's certainly possible to consider libertarianism to be monstrous, if your politics aligns as such.

Even in the context of this article: he co-founded Palantir, who are a very controversial company, and will potentially assist the administration in mass deportations. Depending your political leanings, that may well make him monstrous. He co-wrote a book named "The Diversity Myth", statements in which had to apologise for in 2016. Again, those statements might make him monstrous to a person.
Hikikomori is also a minor phenomenon in Italy. It seems that a positive family environment, unchecked Internet consumption and bleak job prospects play a major role. Welcome to NHK is inspired by a much sadder book, but the anime captures the hikikomori mindset well enough.

You may be assuming that no consideration is given (consideration being necessary to create a legal contract) - but in general charities and public goods are the exception to this; the public good done is assumed to be consideration according to law. Therefore, for example, pledges to charities are regarded as valid contracts that can be enforced.
> You would be requiring docs to re-enter most of the information in their own system.

Why not gave-up at the beginning with data exchange. Make something that could help both the patients and the physicians.

For example, a mobile app could gather some data concerning the patient habits (with the gps, accelerometer...).

The idea is to create a need and make it mandatory (because very useful).

Yes. I'm looking for a way to change that. For example, with something more health-centric than money-centric.

> but I think a lot of folks didn't believe Hillary would enact a progressive policy.

Maybe a lot of liberal folks thought that. I think there were many Trump voters who assumed that she would and they didn't want to see the country go further in that direction, and some of those voters would have preferred staying home to voting for Trump if they thought it wasn't necessary to vote for Trump to stop the country going further left.

This might fall under "lizard-brain" but you can see it in the kind of more-apocalyptic-than-usual rhetoric many people were using, e.g. "this is the Flight 93 election!!!" People saying that sort of crap aren't going to be feeling the Bern.
Not at all true. Self-determination/Libertarianism is not a hermit's existence or a rejection of society as you characterize it. Its society's reliance on individuals to allocate resources as opposed to government. By way of example only... "We" walk by the homeless in DC thinking someone or government should do something about it; but in practice its individuals and groups of individuals having the greatest positive impact in that community. Government provides an excuse for doing nothing.

Unlawful presence is obviously illegal, but it is not criminal. The two words do not mean the same thing.
While I'm going to choose in this instance not to allow you to pry open my braincase and crawl around to see which of my beliefs do and don't make sense to you, let me clarify that I do not in fact believe that "nearly half" (really: a far lower percentage) of US voters are monsters. Voting for Trump doesn't make someone a monster.

Hope that helps.

> Also because it's annoying and wasteful to have to recreate years of effort from scratch because the people who've done it before won't share.

The original creators also had to invest the time. Where do the open source fans take the justification from that if they want something similar, but under their preferred license, they should not have to invest a similar amount of time?

Consider: there is a local Startup School "Dojo" where a number of founders come together to watch the lectures.

Instead of passing through all the questions, they try to solve the problems themselves and then escalate some common problems to office hours.

From the article,

> She was with her friend. Her friend had the same computer (which we saw on the video). Her friend ran off to hold the plane at the gate. She thought her friend left her computer. Sat in a diff section of plane so couldn't communicate with her friend (so didn't know she had a duplicate computer), and flew to New York. Discovered the extra computer when they landed. 4 days later, got back to LA, and finally had time to open the computer and investigate, and saw my contact info on the login screen.

Sounds like an honest mistake to me.
i disagree. Sanders ran a great grassroots campaign and his message resonated with many. Lets remember Bernie had major success in the rustbelt which was key to the presidential election. I believe he really wanted to push his message and what his supporters wanted to the future of the dem party. Had the dem party actually listened to him and aligned with his message, things may have been different.

Someone that is representing a large majority of voters in this country, and not going along with the democratic line.. I call a true patriot. I hope he never becomes a team player.

This is why we have Republicans in the first place who won't even consider implementing social programs. They believe so strongly in their moral foundation of lower taxes that they refuse to consider the evidence.

Being willing to look at the evidence objectively is something everyone needs to get better at, conservatives and liberals alike.

You care completely correct about the obvious need for mental health and addiction care. I'm guessing 90% of the people living on the street are drug addicts and have mental illnesses. It's a hard problem to deal with as just giving someone housing that has these kinds of issues won't fix the underlying problems and they'll end back up on the streets. In California, due to a court order and some newly enacted laws via propositions, a lot of people have been released from jails, which I'm guessing is where many of the mentally ill/drug addicts previously ended up.
