    If they thought they would get away with this just imagine what sorts of things they've already gotten away with that they've been doing carefully.

  4. A ban on spectrum auctions? The bands they just bought should be fucking confiscated. They were only allowed to buy it in the first place because they agreed to use it to improve coverage, not sit on it to stifle competition.

    Solar wins again, fools.

  6. I really find that upsetting they didn't foresee this would be a problem, too. What's next, the shocking revelation that cellphone apps may reveal their location, too?

    OR, you're stupid and completely wrong about everything and he's trying to warn you to protect you but you're being an ungrateful little shit about it.

    If they were not helplessly corrupt and even slightly competent at central planning, it might be going differently. I'm chalking this one up as another episode of "You should have hired me instead, assholes!"

    They can tell the difference. They'd rather die and be damned to their own Hell by their own value set than admit it, but they can tell.

  10. Calling this bullshit is an affront to bull's shit, which is actually useful for numerous agricultural purposes. Indeed, the more bull's shit you have, the more productive your farm can be. The analogy doesn't fit to jQuery at all.

    Yes, I'm aware I also called it "bullshit" 2 pages down. ;)

    Not being able to edit is a joke.

    This is actually for your own safety. Imagine if you had no prior experience with learning to live with the consequences of your mistakes?

  12. I call bullshit on this theory. on Is Facebook Ignoring Our Humanity? (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    The idea in this story is merely Facebook's plausible deniability. They want you to think that they were so dumb they let this happen but this was exactly how they planned it.

    Really? They seem more interested in counting my gray hairs these days than evaluating my "algorithm efficiency."

    I think what you're observing is the inevitable side-effect of industry hiring practices that consistently rotate out experienced coders for younger, fresher, more naive and pliable inexperienced coders. By systematically dumbing-down the technical staff they create a situation where marketing concerns are allowed to run rampant without any tether to reality.

    what if you could just feed aluminum cans and plastic bottles to your 3d printer and it could just recycle them directly into whatever you wanted?

    This one should be easy: anywhere in the US, in any of the 20 largest cities, point out a single new residential fiber deployment.

    Please do tell me about all the numerous locations you're deploying broadband capable of greater than 1 megabit upload speed or 18 megabit download. Please also note any new fiber deployments whatsoever.

    AT&T is doing this across even the country's largest cities, even in densely populated majority Democratic voting areas. The very premise of the story you're telling yourself to feel better is entirely false.

  21. Re:Ok what gives? on Regular Sauna Users May Have Fewer Chronic Diseases (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    My guess is that the other posters with variations on "correlation is not causation" have it here. I'd really like to believe that boiling my bottom 4 times a week will make me 40% less likely to die from stress-related causes, but it is far more likely that people who have the time and resources to do this simply have a lot fewer persistent sources of extreme stress in their lives to begin with. Stress kills.

    To reiterate, though: I would really like to be proven wrong about this.

    "Elitists" pride themselves in having things you can't. He just corrected your fucking grammar. That's the opposite of elitism. Work on your vocabulary. You don't even have a strong enough grasp of the language to understand how wrong you are about everything.

    Ok, how about this one for starters? The endlessly useless and wasteful rebranding and reskinning efforts. It is like Mozilla fired all the developers and replaced them with artists.
