I have a couple problems with this concept. I doubt levels of physical activity correlate that highly with intelligence. For one, as others have here have noted, intellectual activity is often physically draining. Secondly, serious physical activity can likewise be mentally taxing. Ask any athlete about the level of concentration required to compete in their chosen sport, and the knowledge required to perform at a high level.
I trust that there are still plenty of mirrors available. I also trust you can find them if you are so inclined. Please forgive me if I'm too, umm... lazy to do that for you.
Yahoo, a private company, doesn't want people posting comments on its properties that it considers abusive. Somehow, that is anti-free speech and contrary to the God given First Amendment freedom to be a dick online. Slashbros demand their right to insult, harass, and threaten anyone they deem to be "PC" or a "SJW" in any forum, and will cry vainly at any attempt of a free market player to deny them that right.
This isn't the government mandating that Yahoo take these steps, mind you, and nobody's freedom of speech is threatened here.
Flash isn't any sort of standard except in the limited sense that it is used on a lot of web sites. It's a proprietary, closed source plugin and application; the precise opposite of a standard. This so-called "standard" exists solely at the whim of one company, Adobe, and they can do whatever they wish with it without regard to its users or anyone else. For instance, they dropped Linux support a few years ago without any input from the community.
In my opinion, Flash is an abomination that can't die soon enough. The same goes for Microsoft's Silverlight.
But in Thiel's case, it would seem his sole issue is his money. I can't think of any other reason someone in his position would support the Republican Party.
Better private mode browsing would be a great help, but there's more to that when protecting your identity online. For one thing, private mode browsing is meant to protect your history on your local machine, not across the internet. Secondly, unless you are willing to browse without the aid of javascript and cookies, there's no way to stop web site operators from tracking you. Sure, you can stop cross site scripting, but you can't stop one website from sharing your cookie data with another website, or any other data they can garner.
So do you want to be truly anonymous? Use the Tor Browser, never use javascript, turn off cookies, and enjoy your sterile internet.
Or, you can accept a certain amount of risk and enjoy a rich, vibrant internet experience.
(I don't mean to disparage the Tor browser, it's a great product and I use it for some things.)
Use a good password manager instead, one that uses an encrypted database. Store that database on a cloud sync service such as Dropbox or OneDrive so you can share it among your devices. Even if the cloud service is compromised, your data is safe and you still have your local copies, and you only have to remember a small number of passwords.
HTTP protocol: the Hypertext Transfer Protocol protocol. Text is transmitted in a hyper, super active state that is stateful and aware of itself. Sessions are irrelevant.
Poverty is a huge driver of overpopulation. Poor people tend to have more kids to provide for them in their later years. Countries with prosperous economies that are broadly shared tend to have much lower birth rates than poorer countries. That's because raising new humans is a lot of work; if people don't feel like they need to do that, they won't. China, of course, is an exception due to their one-child policy.
Let's just turn over all the cell towers to law enforcement if they don't need warrants to intercept cell communications. At least then we'll know for certain that they are spying on us everywhere, all the time.
> It seems that neither side of the left-right dichotomy wants to remember Atlas Shrugged accurately.
Atlas Shrugged was a badly written, juvenile paean to selfishness as virtue. It was a tribute to the idea that might makes right and wealth as a moral virtue. To make matters worse, its characters were wooden and uninspired, and the dialogue was positively petrified.
To quote John Rogers: "There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."

Twitter denying Yiannopoulos use of their platform (that is, banning him) is a real funny way of giving him platform.

Sometimes clichés deserve their status.

It's nice to see that blaming CmdrTaco is still a thing.

No... just no.

Have you ever tried to masturbate with your pants on? It's damned inconvenient, I can tell you.
I happen to really like Gnome 3. I have had no problems completely avoiding KDE, LXDE, Unity, or what have you. Yay, Linux!
CPanel uses perl in its flagship product. Maybe it's not a huge company (and it's not) but it does supply software to a lot of web hosting companies.

I'm just gonna strap my cell phone to my head and get me one of them life saving tumors.
A car park with cars parked right next to each other will need to be defragged.
No problem. We'll just create journalling parking systems.
To my American ears, a bumbag sounds like a sack you stash a homeless person in.
