Spin up your fantasies, guy.

Let's not forget that the most outrageous case of electoral fraud in the 2018 midterms was perpetrated by the GOP,

How can we remember something that is your frothy fantasy? You need to cite, not just assert.

> What is an "incel?"

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=incel

It is obvious that you, AC, doesn't own or work in a big company. Your comment seems to come from a small (or individually own) company point of view.

It all depends on how deep the big tech companies have their root in where they are. Besides, they will have to look for other locations and that would take some times. I highly doubt it is easy for any big tech companies to simply pack their stuff and go right now. They have to adapt to the situation and may plan to move if necessary, but it wouldn't be in the near future.

Just like it's obvious that a large company can't create, oh, I dunno, a second headquarters and use it as a threat to move from a high-tax "progressive heaven".

I dunno, maybe they could call it something like HQ2.

What's OBVIOUS is you have your head up your ass so far you can probably count your teeth from the backside.

The problem that comes with this practice is that you are already "checked in" to your flight on a multi leg flight. If you are a no show they will probably wait a certain amount of time in case you are lost, If you are still a no show they have to check if you had checked baggage and if so remove it from the flight.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

The airlines do none of this stuff. If you're not there, they give your seat to someone else. If no one is waiting for it, they just leave. If your stuff winds up getting shipped to someplace you're not going, then they'll charge you to get it back to where you actually are, they don't check to see if you're not on the plane.

Nope. You're full of shit.

You bail on your flight, they damn well might have to yank your checked bags. They DO have to for international flights. It's called "positive passenger-bag matching". Otherwise, maybe, maybe not.

But to say it won't happen? THAT is bullshit.

"Wind and solar passed coal in cost effectiveness" Why do I hear this being said all the time, all those studies showing current wind/solar $/kWh as being the cheapest form available

Probably because it's old news? So what else are you skeptical of, because reasons....Obama being born in Hawaii? Vaccines not causing autism?

We do not live in a dictatorship, if it was possible to build a solar farm and erect a bunch of windmills and undercut the local electric utility, you'd see this wholesale and fast across North America.

And run all their own utility lines? Here's another link for you. Coal has a full hundred year head start on solar, and nuclear power has had trillions thrown at it around the planet. Of course it's going to take wind and solar some time to catch up in generating capacity. France isn't going to tear down their network of nuclear power plants that they spent a few hundred billion building and replace them with wind turbines and solar panels while the plants can still operate. People didn't all run out and shoot their hoses when Ford put the Model T on sale, for the same reason people haven't all sold their ICE cars to monster truck rallies to be crushed the moment the Model S was available for purchase.

Trivially falsifiable.

Its been reported by the Wall Street Journal, NY Times, Washington Post...any of those meet your criteria? I went for the very first link which happened to be the mail. But its not like this was a secret, just Google "Asia Argento Jimmy Bennett" and pick whichever link you want, or here let me save you the trouble.

My experience is the exact opposite. I've been using DuckDuckGo since I moved away from AltaVista, and it has always provided me with the results I desire.

This is just one example, but search Google for "how many stars in the solar system" and the first handful of results are not related, and the quick-answer is absolutely wrong.
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=how+many+...

Search DuckDuckGo for the same and you'll get the right answer in the first result.
https://lmddgtfy.net/?q=how%20...

As a bonus, my custom captcha uses these horrible results from Google to weed out bots (and ignorant users I'd rather not have to deal with).

If only there was like a website or something, where you could type words and phrases you don't know the meanings of and it would sort of tell you and all that.

That'd be just dreamy.

Again, I asked you what SUBSIDIES, the mortgage deduction is not a subsidy

False.

It give them the ability to actually afford what they couldn't otherwise

Yes, you're describing a subsidy. Remember, the government cannot give someone a dollar without taking a dollar from someone else!

Now why do you think that NAND isn't sold as "memory" to consumers?

Let's stop right there, because NAND *IS* sold as memory to consumers. For example, let's take one of the largest suppliers of NAND flash products that are consumer facing today... Kingston. And here is an article by them: https://www.kingston.com/us/co.... "Here's a quick primer on what you need to know about NAND Flash memory."

Here is the wikipedia article on NAND: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....

Cameras use "Memory Sticks" -- all based on flash memory.

I could sit here all day a google marketing press releases, articles, and spec sheets that showing how wrong you are, but you can easily do the same. Here you go: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=computer+...

The term memory has been well defined for over 50 years now. Not going to start redefining precise, well established terms because you don't understand them, or think they mean something they don't and never did.

As for learning what marketing is, well... Considering that I understood the marketing and you did not, I would say that of the two of us, one of us doesn't understand what marketing is at all.

It really could replace DRAM

Maybe some day just not now, and not at launch, which is effectively the broken promise.

Or maybe it really could... at launch:

Intel® Optane SSD DC P4800X with Intel Memory Drive Technology enables data centers to deliver more affordable memory pools by displacing a portion of DRAM or significantly increasing the size of memory pools. This solution transparently integrates the drive into the memory subsystem and presents the SSD as DRAM to the OS and applications.

Available March of last year. Is it better than DRAM in every way? No. Is it better than DRAM in some ways? Yes.

How's this?

Here you go.

"basic income" is nothing more than a min wage.

In the GP story. Perhaps the guy who had 100 bucks would have hired the second guy to mow his lawn? Thus a thing is created instead. Instead it is just taking the money from the first to give to the second with nothing created. Most people would call that theft.

Perhaps we can ask the GP if they would be willing to take half of their money and give it away. I mean they should be cool with giving it away right? They obviously do not need it. But but but the GP will say "i do not have enough". Hmm curious you can ask others to do it but are unwilling to put your money where your mouth is. I mean all we are asking for is half.

Here GP I will help you out http://lmgtfy.com/?q=homeless+...

Scientist !== Science

Engineer !== Science

A good engineer ALSO has morals. A bad one doesn't.

/sarcasm Gee, if only there was a way to lookup the definition of Science: ...

the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment.

Or, https://www.merriam-webster.co...

1. the state of knowing : knowledge as distinguished from ignorance or misunderstanding
2. a) department of systematized knowledge as an object of study
2. b) something (such as a sport or technique) that may be studied or learned like systematized knowledge
3. a) knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through scientific method
3. b) such knowledge or such a system of knowledge concerned with the physical world and its phenomena
4. a system or method reconciling practical ends with scientific laws

Or, https://sciencecouncil.org/abo...

Science is the pursuit and application of knowledge and understanding of the natural and social world following a systematic methodology based on evidence

Scientific methodology includes the following:

* Objective observation: Measurement and data (possibly although not necessarily using mathematics as a tool)
* Evidence
* Experiment and/or observation as benchmarks for testing hypotheses
* Induction: reasoning to establish general rules or conclusions drawn from facts or examples
* Repetition
* Critical analysis
* Verification and testing: critical exposure to scrutiny, peer review and assessment

Morals are mentioned WHERE again ???

Hint: They AREN'T.

Bernie's idiotic tax on hiring poor people

That's an impressively batshit crazy framing of the issue. Are you and your friends going to hold a tearful service, complete with burning candles below a picture of St. Rand....because....less of your tax money will be subsidizing a trillion dollar company??? Amazon paying $15 an hour means less people on food stamps and Medicaid, slick.

Poverty is strongly correlated with how much money your daddy had, same as it does for the rich

FTFY. People "choose" to be poor like you "chose" not to own your favorite sports team and be a tech billionaire before you turned 25.

An obvious way to help these people is to make it EASIER for employers to hire them and give them a chance to turn their lives around.

Companies will hire the minimum number of workers needed to produce the maximum results. How "easy" that is is as irrelevant to that equation as high corporate tax rates are.

But Bernie's poverty tax does the exact opposite. It penalizes companies for hiring the people most in need of a job.

Aside from the service, the tears and the candles, maybe you could start a GoFundMe for Bezos, because having a larger net worth than dozens of countries just isn't enough. Were you the inspiration for that South Park scene where we're all supposed to cry for the rich because they had to settle for a Gulfstream III instead of a Gulfstream IV for their private jet? Or maybe the fundraiser for Kylie Jenner, to hurry up and be the youngest billionaire before she turns 22.

It is a myth that "low pay" is a significant cause of poverty.

The fact that someone can work full time and be below the poverty line makes a bad liar out of you.

There is no plausible proposal for basic income that "closes the gap" and provides a living income to everyone. They only proposals that come close do so by eliminating social security, which is politically infeasible and deeply unfair to the people that paid into the system for a lifetime, and by raiding medicare, which ignores the fact that medical expenses are not evenly spread.

Mark Hamill called, and said every word in those sentences are false.

Markets don't work that way. Nobody would accept a job for a penny

Unpaid interns are fascinated by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Do you have any examples of people apologising for people white or straight? I'm both (kinda) and never apologised for it, or felt guilty for it.

Many. There's even video apologies.

You've added nothing of value - not even a suggestion for where to start researching.

Apologies for typing on a phone. I guess we should all aim to provide something valuable to the discussion. Maybe you should consider doing that yourself sometime.

But yeah I'll help with some research: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=How+do+I+...

this.

If you're wondering why this feels like entrapment even though legally it's not; it's because Amazon treats their workers badly enough (and keeps them financially desperate enough) that temping them with something so minor is enough to push them over the edge. Want people to stop risking their jobs and jail time for what's maybe a $20 package? Pay them enough to live.

Poverty does not cause crime. That's an excuse you use for people whose morals are lacking. I saw your linked article (from a website founded by a noted liar, Matthew Yglesias). What's so hard about not stealing from a truck? There's a truck there? It's not yours? Keep walking! Feel bad about police bait? Well.... don't take it. They're not selling Nikes for food.

When you make excuses for the degenerate and criminal, you spit on all the people who have been poor and harmed no one. You can do your own internet search for 'Does Poverty Cause Crime?' and see if there's anything there that strikes your interest.

I'm going to assume it's an honest question, and not just one of the ones being virtue-signaled believing it's clever to assert ignorance of the mechanics: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=virtue+si...

Because they broke this particular piece of news — all other sites carrying it call it "video obtained by Breitbart".

Actually they're saying the video was leaked and it happens to be posted on Breitbart. But anyway.

Few other news-sources would go for this kind of guerilla reporting risking Google's displeasure.

Except that Google doesn't appear to be all that "displeased" about it. There is no evidence that they are suppressing it.

It's not in any way "America's peculiar institution".

The phrase peculiar institution has been in use for a long time to refer to slavery in the US. The author was completely justified in using the phrase. The more you know:
Webster's Dictionary
Wikipedia article on book
Let me google that for you

Look at both Amazon and Wal-Mart employees. You'll see single mothers with one, maybe two children who need benefits to survive.

While I am all for a living wage for a worker, that's a fair bit away for a living wage for a worker with children; raising a child today to age 17 costs approximately a quarter of a million dollars, or $14,750 a year on top of the employee's living wage. That's without college, and assuming no particular surprises in the offspawn's medical costs, mother's birthing, etc.

This means that a single person who could do okay on $20,000 now requires $34,000 to just hold on at the same level when they become single-person-with-single-spawn. Is it the employer's responsibility to see that this occurs? I can't see it. And then there are those who spawn more than once under these circumstances. Ugh.

IMHO, people who have children they can't afford are fools and ideally would have the children taken from them and pay a hefty fine and enjoy a significant raise in taxes, rather than being awarded a subsidy by either their employer or the state for failing to manage their own reproductive systems.

If you want kids, wait until you can afford them. It's better for society, it's better for the kids, and if you had a clear head, you'd realize it's better for you too. Raising offspawn well is expensive.

Does Google Actually Make Us Dumber?

Gun culture is about advocating and practicing responsibility and safety.

Maybe at one time. Not for a long long time, though.

If gun culture is sick, then where are the mass shootings at ranges?

Oh, there are plenty of shooting deaths at gun ranges. Yee haw!

https://www.cnn.com/2013/02/03...

https://www.nytimes.com/2014/0...

https://lmgtfy.com/?q=gun+rang...

Study the biographies of those who commit mass shootings. They are not part of gun culture, but usually loners with histories of anti-social behavior.

So, the guy with a bunch of guns and bump stocks who murdered 53 and injured like 900 innocent people was not part of "gun culture"? Sorry, friend, you're full of shit. The NRA was fund-raising off that mass shooting before the place stopped smelling of cordite.

Most incandescent bulbs are not rated anywhere near that long (most of the commercial ones were something like 1000 hours when I was still buying them) and the ones that could last that long are vastly different in design than the cheap commercial bulbs that were being sold.

Not "vastly different", just a thicker (=stronger) filament wire, and -possibly- tweaks to wire supports, gas mixture or whatever.

It's easy to make a long lasting incandescent. But it would also be very inefficient - worse than they already are. Therefore an 'optimum' is picked where bulbs don't need replacing too often, but still have acceptable efficiency. That optimum is picked around 1000 hours for regular incandescents (longer for halogen lamps due to their halogen cycle). Make 'em longer lasting, and you pay more for electricity. Make 'em more efficient, and you replace bulbs more often. So contrary to what some people think, that is not some industry conspiracy! Of course within that efficiency <-> longevity spectrum (no pun intended ;-) there can still be quality differences between bulbs.

Longer lasting incandescents do exist. Mostly meant for industrial uses where bulb replacement may be more costly than pulling some extra Watts. But such bulbs don't get around the problem described above. Likewise you can run incandescents on a lower voltage to increase their lifespan (in the case of halogens, only within limits). See "lamp rerating". But effectively that just takes the remaining few % of efficiency, and adds it to the waste heat you already had.

OK. Got it. So, how do you feel about requiring voters provide government issued ID in order to vote? Because requiring voters to identify themselves and verify eligibility to vote is part of securing an election. If you oppose that, then you obviously want to disenfranchise voters.

The right to vote is a constitutional right.

Nowhere in the constitution does it say that presenting a government issued ID is required in order to exercise your rights.

3.They "could" be used for crops, but most are not. They need to remain accessible to utility and emergency crews. So, yeah, they generally are wastelands.
4.lol stealing them? not likely. These things can be vandalised at the ground, but almost all require cranes, harnesses and/or climbing gear to do stuff, like get to the motor.

Add to the mix that these wind farms destroy flight paths of important species to this planet, birds, insects, bats. These things suck hard. A necessary evil it seems, but what are the alternatives? Nuclear? fuck yeah, nuclear is the way of the future. It is still in its infancy and has the most potential out of all earth based energy generators. Wind and solar can only get a city so far before the novelty will wear off. We are consuming larger amounts of power year in year out, and with electric cars yet to take off, will take this out of the park once we are in full swing.

uhh, just put "quotes" around the mandatory words.
