  1. Why can't we?

  2. Their MEB platform is well known on Challenging Tesla, Volkswagen Announces Electric SUV, Mass Production of Electric Vehicles (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    They have released tons of pictures and prototypes and what not. You are deluding yourself if you think VW won't have these on time. Since they have publicly claimed they will, they are now beholden to their shareholders to deliver.

  3. So which specific policy instituted by the white house caused this downturn in permanent employment according to your view of the world?

  4. What about the charm? on Are Silicon Valley Workers Abandoning Libertarianism For Socialism? (salon.com) · · Score: 2

    Kidding aside, most modern cities outside of the US are better than modern cities IN the US. The reason being that taxpayer money is spent on pork in the US and not in infrastructure. Every time I travel abroad I am dumbfounded by how nice foreign cities & towns are compared to our 'stuck in the 80s' towns.

  5. How can we be ok with abortions but force-vax people? Aren't those two actions contradictory? Please eat your PBJ.

  6. Easy there control freak on New York City Orders Mandatory Measles Vaccinations in Brooklyn (providencejournal.com) · · Score: 2

    Today is the measles vaccine, tomorrow is Mr.Mengele trying out his concoctions on your kids. The State should not have a right to force to you ingest/inject anything into your body.

  7. Games.... on Why Aren't People Abandoning Windows For Linux? (slashgear.com) · · Score: 1

    If Linux could play all the DirectX/OpenGL games as they are released then that would take a HUGE cut out of windows.

  8. Eh, building will stimulate the economy on Last Time CO2 Levels Were This High, There Were Trees at the South Pole (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Moving people/stuff further from the oceans won't be an issue either. Food will be plentiful, animal species will flourish. Judging from past warm earth evidence, it won't be so bad....

  9. Let's say you make $75K per year. That's like $22K over 2 years you have to pay. Minus the $10K they paid you to learn, that's only $12K for an education and a job. Better than most college deals where you pay upfront with the possibility of maybe making some money in the future

  10. Re:It will happen in Scandnavia first on Cringely Pans Self-Driving Car Hype, Says They're Years Away (cringely.com) · · Score: 1

    That used to be the case. I think China is now in the forefront of that.

  11. Politician != expert in their fields on Many People Think AI Could Make Better Policy Decisions Than Politicians (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    So, we have all these politicians, the majority being ex-lawyers. Then we give them authority over fields that span science, sociology, economics, business, etc. Why do we expect them to make good choices? They are just not trained in those fields. Most are just trained to be good debaters. I feel our system is just set up incorrectly. The various committees should be populated by people in the relevant fields that the committees are meant to govern.

  12. Re:I expected the Chaos Computer Club on Beto O'Rourke's Secret Membership in America's Oldest Hacking Group (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Hacking Windows ? Oh well, the real early hacker groups were hacking way before that. Think Commodore days. Think acoustically coupled modems.

  13. There's no dumb or smart from what I've seen on Kids Have 'Math Anxiety' Thanks To Parents and Teachers, Report Finds (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    There are just different types of brains. I know I learned differently when I was young. I don't know if no one tried to explain it to me correctly but I remember being totally bamboozled by math abstractions like variables and functions. like y=f(x) would cause an aneurysm. It turned out that my brain does perfectly fine dealing with these concepts as I am perfectly fine writing functional programs. Where my brain still has problems is reading long ass formulas with single letter variables. It must be some kind of defect. The exact same formula with well named variables is perfectly understood by my brain. Anyway, I digress. When my daughter was growing up she had a variety of math teachers and variety of ways of being taught math. When she had lousy teachers she did poorly. When she had good teachers she did really well. Even though she always though she sucked at math she was actually in honors math through out high school. She was by no means a math genious, those kids are obvious when you see them but she got good grades and did really well in the sat's and got into a fantastic university. She still thinks she sucks at math. .

  14. Millennials have no cash on USA Today Tech Columnist: Millennials Will Live To See a Cashless World (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    So when everyone else has perished, the Millennial world will be a cashless world

  15. Explain how that can happen on Disputed NSA Phone Program Is Shut Down, Aide Says (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Without the supreme court shutting it down?

  16. This makes sense in theory on Amazon Removes Anti-Vaccine Movies After CNN Inquiry (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    But, when we have limited outlets for speech the way youtube controls the majority of online video expression and amazon controls online retail/book distribution then the waters get murky.

  17. if i could all my games to work on non-windows on Anti-Cheat Software Causing Big Problems For Windows 10 Previews (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    I would jump ship off win 10 so fast. It has to be the worst OS since Vista. I mean if it were a pure OS it would be great as it does some things really well. But since MSFT decided that windows won't be just an OS anymore it tries to do things it should not do. I don't need my OS to spy on me or update at inopportune times.

  18. Most games bench your PC and adjust on Microsoft Takes a Big Step Towards Putting Xbox Games On Windows (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    So, I don't think PC configuration is an issue....

  19. We can't be timid with this stuff on China's CRISPR Twins Might Have Had Their Brains Inadvertently Enhanced (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    It's inevitable that it will be used extensively. We can make the human species immune to a lot of bad things and smart enough to survive. These smarter people could bring us closer to the singularity instead of waiting on AI to do so.

  20. Most of this is inevitable on China's CRISPR Twins Might Have Had Their Brains Inadvertently Enhanced (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    I say embrace it and don't worry about it. In about 2 generations we will be in full gattaca mode

  21. You never know, right?

  22. GABA is not safe to take on New Drug Rapidly Repairs Age-Related Memory Loss, Improves Mood (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    GABA can kill you. It works as a roofie afaik. A bit too much and you can die.

    Stick it to the CC companies people.

  24. Neither of them is totally right. They are not necessarily wrong either.
