You seem to be a conspiracy theory enthusiast of the largest order. I just want to laugh at your reasoning in this quote of yours but its scary you can think thats a smart rationale.
The first move of every single repressive regime in history has been to confiscate weapons from the people they aim to oppress. That's not conspiracy, it's history.
I agree, militas are horribly under-equipped - they were supposed to have the same firepower as the military to avoid any possibility of oppression. As it stands we have enough guns to ensure the government can't get away with rounding people up en mass, but not enough to have politicians perpetually living in fear of the consequences of fucking up and thereby acting in our interests.
Hopefully, Google will also recognize paywalled sites and refuse to index them, or at least put them at the bottom of the results.
TFA literally says they are giving them an alternate means to have their sites indexed. It's the exact opposite of good news because it just blocks an avenue by which to read things for free which would otherwise be behind a paywall.
They might have what it takes, but particularly in the US, their abilities were not trained up and refined.
Nope, they genuinely don't have what it takes. Honestly 5% was a very generous estimate on the part of the GP - realistically not more than 3% of the population are capable of any degree of complex thought. Of those 3% not all of them (though most) are programmers - so there are maybe 2% of the population capable of actually writing code - again being generous but not quite as much.
This ideas that "we just aren't training them properly" or that we "just need to import more people" or "we just need to get more people interested" etc are all beyond absurd - it's like saying we can advance scientific development faster by getting more people interested in science. It's 2017, nearly everyone is interested in science, it's not going faster. The fact of the matter is there is only a very small fraction of Humanity capable of sentient thought (as defined by: unique complex thought surpassing the norm) as a simple matter of: if everyone could do it there would be nothing special, it would already be automated, it would already be discovered, etc.
We're talking about a thing which is inherently bound to the leading edge of Human intellect, it will never be something for everyone because if it were it would already be automated.
Who gives a damn what his political affiliation was? He's not a shining example of any ideal other than psychopathic self-obsession and hatred of his own life.
I'm so sick of the idea that someone who believes something and does something bad makes that belief bad - it's not even remotely the case because if the belief were bad everyone who holds it would be doing the bad things.
The issue about guns is simple: we have them so we have less government-induced oppression, if we lack them we have more government-induced oppression.
History has shown that governments oppressing people lead to far more deaths than even if you gave every mass shooter in history a nuke and assumed they dropped it on the most populated city remaining.
If we lost 99% of the population through the course of their lives to mass shooters it would still be better than taking everyone's guns and in turn letting the corrupt politicians steamroll over everyone else at a whim, at least mass shooters are random so it doesn't change the demographics for the worse.
You need either a monolithic architecture or a performance hit to do certain common user-based operations (what if someone plugs in a USB stick? what if they unplug it while it's being read and something else is waiting? what if they plug in multiple mice? what if they unplug monitors and rearrange them? what if they due to some horrible form of OCD need to unplug their mouse and plug it back into the same port 10 times before starting gimp? what if they kill the machine with a hard reboot after a partial soft reboot when transferring files or with hard drive locks? etc.) There are lots of user-initiated operations which simply don't apply to a server because servers are made to sit without direct interaction most of the time, save for the times when someone who knows what they are doing is using them.
The notion of lots of little things doing 1 job extraordinarily well works great for servers, it doesn't work great for a user-centered experience without a common pipeline of some form (which implies overhead of standardization because sometimes certain operations should be prioiritized massively over others, such as anything UI-related) which itself implies overhead in terms of performance if it isn't monolithic.
Meanwhile monolithic architectures are bad within open source, almost universally, because you end up with things like systemd: a handful of devs with conflicting vision (or at least conflicting with everyone else) who are the only ones who know it well enough to really touch it without fucking everything up. Corporate software doesn't suffer that particular issue because the vision is inherently derived from a hierarchical structure and they have the resources to support something so massive in spite of the developers not actually wanting to build that specific thing.
Philosophies are just that, when you start conflating them with practical works you run into issues, as the Unix philosophy does when extended to a desktop environment.
Pretty sure they're more in line with Rosevelt's "all you have to do to fix the job market is bury a bunch of cash and tell people to start digging" - paranoid people hate the TSA.
I don't see any evidence of Asperger's; an obsession with big ideas does not in itself put you on the autism spectrum.
Asperger's is the only compliment I've given Musk to my knowledge. It's defined by obsession with complex topics, high intellect, lack of social aptitude, and the propinquity to get off on tangents trying to do everything within a field. His media presence has all the Hallmarks of Asperger's - if his obsession were social experimentation and he didn't depend on his image for financing he'd be more like Shkreli, but instead it's sci/tech and his presence is subdued online as a result.
If you watch the videos of him during the Trump consulting bit he did the signs are very clear in terms of lack of social aptitude, so he's got all the bases for it covered. It's genuinely not a knock, Asperger's is the next leap in Human cognitive evolution.
The supersonic part is in the upper atmosphere, and takeoff and landing is out at sea. This mitigates most noise issues.
What a great idea, so instead of a 12 hour flight you have a 1 hour drive to the port with parking, another 2 hour TSA patdown, another 2 hours to catch the cruise ship and sail out, a 30 minute flight, another hour to get back to shore, another 3 hours to get a car to your destination - so the 12 hour flight is radically reduced to 8.5 hours - this WILL CHANGE EVERYTHING.
Seriously. The issue with desktop systems is they need to be responsive in ways which violate The Unix Philosophy or are bogged down by adhering to it. The only major attempt to address this has been Systemd, which is itself so bogged down with developer pissing contests, poor architectural choices and (likely intentional) security holes that it just didn't take off. Add in the issue of DRM providers (cough. Widevine cough) which stops most of the content from making it there for platforms like FreeBSD and you end up with a shit user experience.
Honestly, I think he's just a guy with Asperger's who happened to luck out with his PayPal venture (mostly in being born in the correct generation to make a world class financial institution from absolutely nothing) and has seen been sperging out with science. You could take anyone with a high IQ plus Asperger's, give them a similar amount of cash, and get similar results. The hard part about doing things with intellect is always in the initial acquisition of cash, everything after that is just applying things toward your interests.
This however reeks of a pissing match brought on by someone else having a cooler looking rocket.
Pretty sure safety isn't the issue. We don't allow supersonic flights because they're obnoxious - a rocket isn't much different in that regard. At best this drops it to a 30 minute flight plus 2 hours commuting each way away from civilization to get somewhere they are allowed to take off and land from.
Considering that in 50 years the climate is projected there to become LETHAL to a normal, healthy adult in the shade, I think this is the only way that these countries will continue to exist.
When are you retards going to learn to stop putting dates to your scare mongering? If global warming were a threat Manhattan would have been underwater a over decade ago.
That doesn't mean they came from elsewhere, it would also sync up really well with them coming from the blackhole in the center of our galaxy and being curved back inward by the gravity of the whole galaxy - sort of a galactic-scale particle accelerator. (Like the field lines of a magnet.)

This is still in the realm of "not practical" - very far from "not possible."

I know what The Unix Philosophy is.
You need either a monolithic architecture or a performance hit to do certain common user-based operations (what if someone plugs in a USB stick? what if they unplug it while it's being read and something else is waiting? what if they plug in multiple mice? what if they unplug monitors and rearrange them? what if they due to some horrible form of OCD need to unplug their mouse and plug it back into the same port 10 times before starting gimp? what if they kill the machine with a hard reboot after a partial soft reboot when transferring files or with hard drive locks? etc.) There are lots of user-initiated operations which simply don't apply to a server because servers are made to sit without direct interaction most of the time, save for the times when someone who knows what they are doing is using them.

For a wealthy executive, that's 11.5 hours of flight without wiretaps while over international waters missed.

It's not theater, the TSA exist to protect us from the arab CIA puppet groups.

This is just his "fuck you" to Lockheed for coming up with a better looking rocket.
You are welcome to drown in the sink of your own filth. We just don't want it here.
Then get off our internet.
Facebook and Twitter are hardly bastions of free speech and expression, but I hope they do regulate so we can counter-regulate.
It's an obscenity that lesser nations can dictate the policy on the entire American internet by being whiny cunts.
Considering that in 50 years the climate is projected there to become LETHAL to a normal, healthy adult in the shade, I think this is the only way that these countries will continue to exist.

The tables were already turned against citizens, otherwise the requests would not need to be made proactively.
Theory concerns the why, law concerns the how.
That doesn't mean they came from elsewhere, it would also sync up really well with them coming from the blackhole in the center of our galaxy and being curved back inward by the gravity of the whole galaxy - sort of a galactic-scale particle accelerator. (Like the field lines of a magnet.)
The summary cannot be interpreted the way you state, not enough information is available in the underlying material.
