Or you're an anti-Semite who believes Jews control the media and are project instead of reading his actual point, those who are in power in many industries also own media outlets and have substantial influence over them.

Do I think this is why Tesla is being dragged through the mud as much as possible? Not really. Tesla is big news in large part because of its relative valuation and the various large projects its CEO is involved in. No doubt, the sadistic element of many people is tickled more than the generous and conscientious side, so it's little wonder that headlines and articles are written as clickbait (like really everywhere, including your own link). No doubt the whole "Auto-Pilot" thing isn't helping things, but we don't see people freaking about cruise control because most people understand its limitations because it's been around long enough.

Maybe you should next link to "The Real Truth about Anonymous Coward".

Is it because their shit cars are going up in flames? Is it because their incompetent clown of a CEO's and his ego made them build an assembly line that can’t scale so they have resort to wasting even more money on a third assembly line in a circus tent? Which by the way they half assed the install.

the only source for this story appear to be a Spanish language tweet with three seismic channels snippets displayed without scales on any axis, or other identifying information, and with a red and a green line drawn on it.

That tweet was from the official account of the seismology department of the Institute of Geological and Atmospheric Research. They also wrote a more detailed explanation, with more clearly-marked images, in their blog.

It is certainly within the ability of seismometers to detect nearby people jumping, heck they are can detect people walking nearby. So I am prepared to encounter a story about crowd activity being detected by a local station, there is nothing inherently unreasonable about it.

But the only source for this story appear to be a Spanish language tweet with three seismic channels snippets displayed without scales on any axis, or other identifying information, and with a red and a green line drawn on it. One of them presumably marking the goal.

But the two lines look like they intersect the data stream at random points. Neither one seems to mark anything that stands out from the background activity.

When on-line searching I found absolutely no credible sources coming up, it is all popular media repeating more or less the same thing, but with the "telephone game" effect. Some stories quite magnitudes, but they range from 1 to 3, an energy range 30,000 fold and are probably just speculation reported as fact.

Until someone comes with an actual source for the measurement and a real magnitude measurement (with someone to back it up) I'm dismissing this as BS.

TDS also encompasses rooting for America's failure, placing blame on America, etc. as a way to indirectly attack Trump by reflecting America's failures onto him.

See also Bill Maher rooting for a recession or liberals rooting for nuclear war with NK purely and explicitly because they don't want Trump to get credit for doing something good.

From the report:

"In addition, we identified instances where FBI employees improperly received benefits from reporters, including tickets to sporting events, golfing outings, drinks and meals, and admittance to nonpublic social events. We will separately report on those investigations"...

And nothing was ever heard of it again.

But nothing nearly so juicy as the previously unreported text from the FBI agent to his mistress, saying "We will stop it" referring to Trump being elected.

It was unreported, because in the texts the BFI gave congress, that line was removed...
Not redacted. Removed.

Is that enough perspective for you?

Where's the tablet-optimised website? This one's just a few tweets, it doesn't even have a logo! Where's the superbowl ad?

And where are all the usual APK-copycat trolls trying to push the APK Hostfile Engine as the definite solution against these security holes (with all their "See subject" and over-abuse-of-bold glory) while the original APK dumbshit itself tries to whine about impostors and fake nicknames ?

CAPTCHA: unbiased ;-)

They won't even admit their Twitter account's first tweet came from them...

Where's the tablet-optimised website? This one's just a few tweets, it doesn't even have a logo! Where's the superbowl ad?

In an era where every single vulnerabilities needs to get a catchy name and a well designed reactive website (almost a superbowl ad ?), even before confirming if there's a viable exploit, it's nice to see the big hats of security reacting (cpercival - the daddy of Scrypt) and taking time to write an actual exploit to test, even if communication is done over an unglamorous channel as twitter.

You people are so delusional, after all this time there is not a single piece of evidence to support any of these wild claims. The Trump tower meeting has been shown to have been a setup by FusionGPS - the lawyer met with FusionGPS both before and after that meeting, and funny how she was complaining a couple of weeks ago that if this meeting was oh so important, why hadn't Mueller's team interviewed her? Because Mueller knows it was a setup and he has enough problems already.

But lest anyone forget, even if there was a meeting IT IS NOT A CRIME. The only criminal act related to foreign powers is if they provide something of substance to a campaign. You know, like a British national providing opposition research, or illegal aliens making contributions to a campaign. There is also no collusion statute in the US code except between corporations. The only time speaking to a foreign power could be considered a crime is if we are at war with that power and the person speaking was giving "aid and comfort" to the enemy. Last time I looked we were not at war with Russia.

So for all you butt hurt liberals who lost the election, I have 3 links for you:

Election is over, we won, deal with it - B. Obama
Stop whining about the U.S. elections being rigged - B. Obama
Trump wouldn't say if he'll accept the outcome....horrifying - H. Clinton

See recent Slashdot submission titled Petroglyph Explanation Remains Ignored After 15 Years. This situation with Trump lacking a science advisor is not especially different in that the person making these petroglyph claims, Anthony Peratt, is a government scientist specializing in high-energy density plasmas and nuclear physics, and has even advised the US government on the Non-Proliferation Treaty.

The Submission ...

A government researcher in plasma and nuclear physics demonstrated in a 2003 paper that 40% of all petroglyph types could be correlated to unique forms witnessed for the first time just two years prior in classified government laboratories. A recent Joe Rogan Experience episode viewed by a million people and featuring Robert Schoch, a Ph.D. in Geology and Geophysics from Yale, briefly mentions the discovery. But petroglyph experts and the larger scientific community continue to completely ignore the findings and implications. What does it mean that the public must learn about this groundbreaking discovery from a comedian? Why have science journalists ignored the discovery for almost 15 years?

The Slashdot community does not itself seem especially concerned about warnings from nuclear scientists, as the submission has had plenty of time by now to make it to the homepage.

Tesla's stock is down 12% in the last 12 months in a strongly up market.

Seems like a clear case of cherry picking.

Plus, Musk is a whiny little snowflake. He can't get enough of uncritical media praise, of which there is has been tons, but anything remotely critical and he shits the floor. Its nice he's doing the electric car thing, but lets not buy into a cult of personality here because there is tons of evidence he's got a shit personality (he fired his 12 year PA when she asked for a raise he used underpaid illegal foreign labor to build his factory he uses illegal union-busting tactics and he was emotionally abusive to his first wife, treating her like an employee.

Billionaires have their place, but they aren't special geniuses, they are just 99.9% lottery winner and 0.1% skill. If there was no Elon Musk, there would just be some other billionaire doing the same work. Do not put your faith in princes.

C.D. Reimer died last year. Be sensititive, you insensitive clod!

With the AGW doctrine of climate change causing more, and more damaging, hurricanes having been shot down by the historical record, the climate catastrophists have kicked increased hurricane strength and frequency as a doom-and-gloom bellweather to the kerb, and have picked 'slower-moving hurricanes causing more damage' as the newest tool to drive fear of 'climate change', since the population doesn't consider climate change to be a significant concern relative to others.

Nice try, but your attempt at fake news fails, as it is too easily and obviously disproved.

No, I didn't.

The law of the land is a corporation with 20% profit margin pays 35%. One with 5% pays 35%. Tax rates are independent of net profit margins.

The law I suggested is a corporation with 20% profit margin pays 48%. One with 5% pays 16%. Tax rates are based on net profit margins.

What I suggested has never been the law of the land anywhere.

You are out of touch with reality. The Dow shot up from 19,827.3 to 25,075.1 -- an increase of *26 percent* the day of (or day after) Trump's inauguration.

No, it didn't. It took TWO YEARS for the Dow to go up from 19,827 to 25,075. It took from the day before Trump's inauguration day to the second anniversary of his inauguration day. As you say, it was a rise of 26 percent.

Did you know that over the exact corresponding period of time, from the day before his inauguration to the second anniversary of his inauguration, Under Obama the Dow went up 33 PERCENT? In fact, if you check the Dow on March 9, 2009 at the very depth of the Great Recession, you will notice that by the second anniversary of Obama's term the Dow rose an astonishing 61 percent.

The Dow now resides in record territory

No, it does not. It's well over 1000 points off its high. Also, did you know that the Dow resided in "record territory" for the entire second term of Barack Obama's presidency?

[Note: I am figuring out where the Trump supporters are getting this myth that the the Dow rose 26% in two days after Trump's inauguration. It is from a misreading of the big, wet baby's own tweet. The only problem is, in Trumpistan they get every single fact wrong, including the day the tweet was issued. see below]

And here, you can look at the Dow history yourself to check for yourself.

Beau Hamilton is someone that thinks birth control ought to be purely a man's job, so he volunteers nightly to suck out all the various creampies his girlfriend gathered that day, before she rides a real stud she invited from work/the bar/tinder and allows Beau to wank his peener at the scene behind a screen. One last birth control moment ensues before the lovebirds fall asleep and cuddle together.

Another shit Tesla crashed due to its shit auto pilot system. Instead of fixing his shit cars, Elon went on a twitter rant about how Jews control the media.

Speaking of self-driving cars: another Tesla autopilot crash today: https://twitter.com/LBPD_PIO_4...

Hit a parked police SUV. Keep on beta testing your stuff, Tesla. Don't forget to complain about the "shorts".

Someone call out Beau Hamilton for being one of the cuck editors for continually posting this clickbait patriarchy shit that doesn't belong on reddit.

This link of his is in story above.. Please tell him what a piece of shit he is.

Ok little boy, Since you are having such trouble understanding, hold my hand while I walk you through it step by step.

Scientists measure the amount of water. They do this in metric in Pakistan because metric is the system they use over there. (and 95% of the world)

Then the reporter writes a story. She doesn't go out with her gallon jug and measure the water by herself, she looks it up / asks the scientists, they tell her metric.

When she writes her story, she decides to convert it to gallons because part of her target audience is America and Americans.
This is known as pandering to the lowest common denominator. (I used 'dumbed down' before, because it's fun to push the buttons of easily agitated people and I knew you would bite).
This was obvious the second you jumped in and said

No, the superiors only understand litres, and metricand once you don't use those, you are incapable of using antything else, and must resort to moaning and crying.

This is the part where you need to stand on your own feet.
If you have a problem with the reporter assuming the rest of America isn't quite as smart as you claim to be, you can contact her here.

Sabrina Toppa is a Pakistan-based journalist who has reported for The Guardian, Al Jazeera, TIME, Washington Post, and NBC News, among other outlets. Find her on Twitter @SabrinaToppa

You might want to grab a coffee or something first, because there are more than just a few journalists who also 'simplify' things like that for your fellow Americans, it may take you a while.
Tell them all that Americans are just as smart as everyone else, and you don't like them dumbing things down, it makes you feel inferior and hurts your feelings.
Just search Google for "America" and "news",let them all know how you feel. That should keep you busy for a good while and out of the grownups hair.

Anyone for "common sense" speech controls?

The NRA:
https://twitter.com/nratv/stat...

And yet I am reluctant to criticize your post for fear of losing Karma, but here goes anyway.

For one thing, if I'm not mistaken, YouTube did not censor CountDankula. It was his own government that did that. YT is fine with teaching your dog Nazi salutes.

In fact, it's still up on YT:

M8 Yer Dugs A Nazi

I would agree 100% with you if you were arguing that UK or EU laws go way too far in restricting free speech but you're arguing that YT censored that video when they didn't.

But there are other examples where arguably YT and others have been "unfair" and have censored videos, often ones which are merely politically incorrect rather than outright racist or promoting violence, what about them?

I say, they can find their own platform to host their material. These are private businesses refusing their right to refuse service to those who they don't want on their platform even if their reasons seem "unfair" to you.

They owe no particular user anything.

Fox News has removed some of my comments. Sites like Breitbart and RT are even more aggressive about removing comments that don't agree with their agenda.

And let's not ignore the outright lies against sites like YT. I've seen multiple people (or at least multiple accounts) whine that YT removed all the gun videos. That simply is NOT true. I don't doubt that they removed some and that maybe they were heavy-handed in doing so but it's certainly not a violation of free speech.

Whether they're doing this out of some kind of SJW political correctness or because they are simply bowing to the pressure of advertisers who don't want to be associated with the likes of Richard Spencer doesn't really matter. It's their platform.

And how can you make a living on YT, but not be popular enough to host your own website? Maybe instead of complaining that YT denied them a soapbox on their property they should be grateful that YT allowed them any soapbox in the first place even if they eventually were kicked off. Without YT, they would never had made a penny off their views.

If you want to talk about free speech, why not criticize Trump who once called for the FCC to fine a commentator on Fox News for criticizing him.

Incompetent @RichLowry lost it tonight on @FoxNews. He should not be allowed on TV and the FCC should fine him!

You probably are aware that the FCC doesn't regulate content on cable news networks, but Trump not only appears unaware of that he goes even further and says his critics should not even be allowed on TV. And then we elected him President.

That is much more disturbing than Twitter banning Milo Yiannopoulos or Richard Spencer.

Oh look, more context.

Trump on immigrant children: "They look so innocent. They aren't innocent."

And it gets worse from there. Border patrol agents are beating and raping immigrant teens. They warehoused a 4lb premature baby in an overcrowded, dirty cell filled with sick people.

When one political party loses its mind and the other doesn’t it is not your responsibility to be “even handed” or to pretend not to see what is happening. We should not split the difference as a country and become half-crazy.

For the record, Ariane 5 is literally subsidized to fly.

Hmm, downvoted without rebuttal, maybe it was my tone or maybe it's because the Southern Poverty Law Center is moderating /. just like it's doing at Facebook. You know, the people that call everything under the sun "racist", even if you just referred to "exceedingly violent" gang members as animals during a roundtable and in response to comments about MS-13 (full transcript). At least the AP retracted their statement, despite their laughable excuse.

Basically that candidate would be doing their job rather than spending all his time obsessing about what the person who lost the election was allegedly doing years ago and extorting foreign leaders into bailing out his son in law's real estate company and investing in his own resort projects in as a prerequisite to getting things done.

Yup. I'm a Finn so I have no direct stake in this, but following the Trump presidency from the outside has been like watching a trainwreck in slow-motion. This is the man who railed against corruption, the Washington elites, 'the swamp' and China. What has he done in his first year? Amp up nepotism by appointing his own friends and family into positions of power (never mind that they're not really fit to handle those positions), give massive tax-cuts to his own class to the tune of billions without any solid plan to fund them (and the republicans love this, even though it will cause a massive increase in the deficit), entangled your position in the middle-east even more than it already was by walking back on the Iran deal and with the Jerusalem embassy.move, and basically made himself the Swamlord.

The Chinese have the man figured out, and why wouldn't they, he's easy to read. All it took to bend the man to their will was a few hundred million to his project and suddenly the Chinese went from 'stealing so many jobs to nice people that need to be helped because 'too many jobs in China lost'. Beijing took one look at the tariffs he was planning, hit back with counter-tariffs that hurt the critical areas of the Trump-base in the midterm and the man folded instantly like a house of cards. The fact that he even thought he could win a 'trade war' is indicative of just how beyond clueless the man is of the structure of the global economy. And this man fancies himself a negotiator or a strongman of some kind? He's not playing 4d chess, he's not even playing chess, he's eating the pieces and calling himself a genius for doing so. But the base cheers for him, and that's all that he cares about.

Trump is weakening the US reputation and position globally on pretty much all fronts because he's so easy to manipulate, so impulsive, egocentric and frankly, so damn dumb. And that being the case, you can be sure that many of the major geopolitical players, likely China included, will do what they can behind the scenes to keep the man in power, because he might just be the best thing that's happened to your global competitors in a good while. Besides being relatively easy to control and influence from the outside with pocket change and praise, the amount of sheer incompetence and chaos he causes in the US domestic politics is a godsend to them. I mean, the fact that we're over a year into his presidency and the 'b-b-b-b-ut Hillary!" -card is still being thrown about as a counter whenever Trump does something that's just objectively moronic is proof of that.

(For anyone who cares) - Just minutes ago Musk responded to this:

Very strange. Model 3 is designed to have super good stopping distance & others reviewers have confirmed this. If there is vehicle variability, we will figure it out & address. May just be a question of firmware tuning, in which case can be solved by an OTA software update.

Oh, now another:

Even if a physical upgrade is needed to existing fleet, we will make sure all Model 3’s having amazing braking ability at no expense to customers

Lots of people responding that they think that the CR report is BS because their cars stop better than any other car they've ever had, yadda yadda... but I'm glad Musk isn't being dismissive.

So it is either:

1. A software update of brakes (whatever that means); or
2. A free hardware upgrade (commonly referred to as "recall", but not with Tesla, because Tesla).

So, how likely is 1. going to work, and what does 2. do to Tesla's bottom line?

The CR braking result is inconsistent with other reviewers, but might indicate that some Model 3’s have longer braking distances than others. If so, we will address this at our expense. First time we’ve seen anything like this.

Also responded to a person who wrote "Elon any chance of adding air compressors at Superchargers to fill up our tires ??" with "Good point. Yeah, we will do that for the bigger locations."

CohibaVancouver opined:

To me, the biggest condemnation of Trump is not that he's ill-informed - Lots of people are ill-informed on lots of things - It's that he has little interest in actually becoming informed. Obama read for hours each night - Briefing papers, books - You name it. Trump reads nothing.

Sadly, it's actually worse than that.

It is quite clear that not only does Trump have, as you put it, "little interest" in becoming informed, but, instead, that he actively resists any attempt to provide him with information on subjects that trigger him.

It's also why he labells as "fake news" anything that displeases him. It's not that those things are factually inaccurate. It's that he just doesn't want to hear them ...

Good thing someone on Twitter already found them

Our folks used to call us Chris & Chris, you noob!

Agree; nobody should be surprised, and I don't think anyone is disputing, that humans, through land-use change, have caused some massive changes to water distribution. California, for example, is likely fucking itself out of an agricultural future, if it keeps going the way it has been. Nobody wants to give them more water. The only part I dispute is that they can reliably tell what aspects of that may be genuinely attributable to "climate change".

California and some of its neighbouring states are pumping dry an aquifer that was laid down during the last ice age and that hasn't been replenished at anything like the rate it was back then for the last 10.000 years. As for what aspects of the examples they name may be genuinely attributable to "climate change", when glaciers are melting away I'm pretty sure that's "climate change", when a region is struck by drought after drought at previously unseen frequency, I'm pretty sure that constitutes "climate change" and not a something created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.

A company is moving in to exploit your cheap labor with a special license to pollute from the government, while your leader is a grade-A supercrook and mostly just his political opposition cares about that fact. Welcome to the third world USA, after much effort you've finally made it. A complementary basket of rusty VW beetles, oil barrels and discarded tires will be sent in the mail.

The grade-A supercrook lost the election. The grade-B supercrook left office 16 months ago, but left behind a cabal of fools doing stupid shit like indicting companies for election interference that didn't exist at the time.

So not only did Mueller fuck up royally by indicting a corporation that's actually going to defend itself against the criminal charges, much to the chagrin of Mueller since it will show him as the fool he is, out of the four corporations he indicted, at least one of them didn't even exist during the time frame the indictment covers.

Oh yeah, it's apparently a catering company.

Mueller indicted a ham sandwich. Literally.

And I bet he's your hero.
