  1. And your answer is fallacious. How I sound has no bearing on the argument.

    I could also say that you sound like a simpleton who equates brains with arrogance because you would like everyone else to go down to your level, where you might have a chance to defend yourself even with your stunted wits.

  2. What's the point in polling a population who believe in angels, has but the slightest knowledge of history and geography and is almost illiterate in science?

    40% of Americans probably couldn't understand what "nearly 40% of Americans" even means.

    We could as well discuss the percentage of toddlers who think their mum should be Queen of America.

  3. was hosting the Olympics such a good idea?

    It depends on the size of the bribe. If the bribe was large enough, it was a great idea for the bribed ones. Otherwise, they are just imbeciles.

    How many cash, Brazilian whores and coke would have been needed to convince you to happily have exactly the same idea? Do you think you're more expensive to corrupt than the actual decision makers? I doubt it.

    I'm scared of my mother calling me one day telling me "I've lost every picture from all my life and a guy is asking me $10K to recover them".

    By that point it will be late to tell her "shouldn't have been storing them in a disk permanently attached to your windows laptop".

    But I don't know how to stop her. I won't convince her to use linux. I won't manage to teach her not to execute random crap once per year.

    Should I trust hard drives to store data for decades?

  19. Re:ban *foreign* drones on Xiaomi Unveils Budget-Friendly Mi Drone, $460 For 4K Or $380 For 1080p (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    Average American salary has been stagnated for the past 2 decades or so and you are giving us that 'no matter the cost' lecture?

    Americans are not the only customers of American products. As long as America continues selling better, more expensive, products, there's a way out. Europeans and Asians with that money will also opt for the better product.

    If the strategy changed to "let's have a cheaper, less protected workforce and compete with China in prices", the end would be a few decades in the future. I don't expect that to happen.

    Therefore, news like these must push America towards the future. Towards products beyond what's being done in China. It makes no sense to compete on even ground if one can stay on higher ground.

    America shouldn't be trying to compete in prices with China.

    The question I'd ask is "where is the best drone, no matter the cost, being built?".

    If the answer is "still, not America", that would be the actual problem.

  21. Sounds like there is at least going to be a parts market! ;)

    A quick Ebay search reveals this market is already working as expected.

    People seem to be losing their controller pads along with any warranty of proof of purchase. It's a coincidence that seems to plague drones.

  22. 3) Spying on people from above or looking in their windows

    I wonder if Xiaomi's drones also mysteriously disappear soon after flying over other people's property.

    I also wonder for how much will they sell on Ebay without a controller pad.
