  1. Re:Started with Obama, continued with Trump on Trump Administration Sued Over Phone Searches at US Borders (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    That's because the number of electronic devices carried across the border continues to increase since the bush administration.

  2. What happens to amazon and the robots after they've laid everyone off and no one can afford to buy their products?

  3. Re: Future generations of robots on As Robots Move Into Amazon's Warehouses, What's Happening To Its Human Workers? (brisbanetimes.com.au) · · Score: 1

    They don't think the solution is for someone else to give up their money. They think the solution is for some pencil pusher to use the powers of the State to take someone else's money. And if you disagree, you're a racist.

    The owners of automation will never get rich if there is no one that can buy the products automation produces.

  5. Ding ding. The prediction of a future where robots are making everything and no humans have jobs, completely falls apart. There would be no incentive for complete robotic production if there is no one that can afford the products they are making. We will literally never get to that dystopian point because the system is self limiting.

  6. So what? on Facebook Sold Ads To Russian-Linked Accounts During Election (cnet.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    I fail to see the problem here. "Russia" should always be placed in square quotes these days. Idiots.

  7. Are you trying to tell me... on Lost Languages Discovered in One of the World's Oldest Continuously Run Libraries (smithsonianmag.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...that Islam is a relatively new religion in the Middle East, and that both Judaism and Christianity predated it by centuries? How can that be?

  8. Can someone please explain to me how a partially o on The Solar Eclipse of 2017 Destroyed Lots of Rental Camera Gear (petapixel.com) · · Score: 1

    Not only brighter but how the obstruction makes more light reach the viewer?

  9. Re: it's just another prototype. on Cummins Unveils Electric Semi Truck Before Tesla (autoblog.com) · · Score: 1

    You clearly don't know any truckers who literally spend thousands of hours in their trucks.

  10. Re:In violation of the law? on Getting NASA To Comply With Simple FOIA Requests Is a Nightmare (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    It doesn't matter. Those are our documents and NASA nor any other agency has a right, legally or otherwise, to keep them from us when requested. There are specific instances where they can deny a request, but in all other situations they should be offering requested documents forthwith.

  11. Re:Screw the soldiers on Paul Allen Finds Long-Lost World War II Cruiser, the USS Indianapolis (usni.org) · · Score: 1

    If the US had stayed out of the Great War, all of Europe would be speaking German today.

  12. Lol, this is this internet. You can abandon a conversation when you lose an argument, but you can't end it.

  13. Sure you did. You just didn't realize it. When a government has the power to take and redistribute wealth, corporate welfare is the eventual result. Capitalism is an economic system, not a political system. Those who conflate the two can't even fathom people succeeding without government intervention

  14. Oh. I see. By your own admission it isn't capitalism and you fail to see it.

  15. Re: And she's one of the lucky ones on A 2:15 Alarm, 2 Trains and a Bus Get Her To Work by 7 AM (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Why is it ways either or with you people?

  16. If the the lefty media is now running fact checks, they must feel threatened. I trust my own knowledge and instincts. That report is legit. There are some people that have a lot of explaining to do.

    A private school could have taught you to read and write for a hell of a lot less than your public education, and they probably would have done a better job. Why pay for it yourself, when you can force others to do it. How much have your parents paid in property taxes? Probably an order of magnitude more than it would have cost to put you in private school.

  18. Well, I've been reading a couple weeks worth of articles saying it's cash payments. I wonder why so many lies are being spread about it?

  19. The reality is that we haven't had something resembling capitalism in this country for decades.

  20. You think corporate welfare is capitalism? What are you smoking?

  21. Because the article is written by an anti-walker lefty. Describe these cash payments.

  22. Re: No need to tolerate intolerance on Google Explains Why It Banned the App For Gab, a Right-Wing Twitter Rival (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    That's authoritarianism in a nutshell. When everything is wrong and illegal the ruling class gets to practice selective enforcement.

    It seems it's Google, facebook, and Twitter at the moment.

    Hell, Google needs to delist the google.com domain because you can use it to access hate speech.

    Google tolerates lots of intolerance. But when it has an opportunity to signal virtue it practices selective morality.
