  1. Re:Cop can stand by the side of the road. Every 5m on Nevada Lawmakers Want Police To Scan Cellphones After Car Crashes (apnews.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    You are still "driving" when stopped at a red light. And you missed when the Mone turned green by about 10 seconds. ***honk***

  2. Re:"Shanghai" Bill is a known liar many times over on Kamala Harris Introduces Bill To Send Millions To Local Governments For Tech Support (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Nah, even lying is better than troll-spamming.

  3. So why pass the law? on ISPs Strike Deal With Vermont To Suspend State Net Neutrality Law (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Isn't this the whole reason the law was passed? To stop waiting on the federal government to get it right? Why would you delay it? Sure, repeal it or suspend it if it becomes redundant, but nothing about this move makes sense.

  4. Re:Restore federal net neutrality rules? on ISPs Strike Deal With Vermont To Suspend State Net Neutrality Law (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    None of this has anything to do with net neutrality. Are you sure you've ever read the definition?

  5. Every country has had a history of grinding poverty ... before it started massively exploiting fossil fuel.

    Yeah, but what time in the US was before fossil fuel? Think you missed the point.

  6. Re:Better to address fake news on Consumer Groups Want To Tax Facebook To Save Journalism (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    Fact of the matter is that journalism is dying because people don't trust journalists.

    It's equally dying because people blindly trust random people on the Internet despite not trusting journalists.

  7. Re: journalism? on Consumer Groups Want To Tax Facebook To Save Journalism (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    How many people see and buy the lies of a random facebook page? The only glaring flaw you pointed out was that a random facebook page != CNN/WaPo.

    Something tells me you haven't been on Facebook lately or have your feed very heavily filtered.

  8. Re:A tax for journalism? on Consumer Groups Want To Tax Facebook To Save Journalism (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    So they report only positive news on Trump, and don't care about minorities in general. Even a biased clock is right twice a day.

    That's how we got Fox News...

  10. Re:Good climate... on You Will Soon Be Able To Pay Your Subway Fare With Your Face in China (scmp.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wearing baklavas gets messy - especially if they're made with honey.

  11. That's an empty rebuttal. What do you think it means?

    I'm not defining capitalism, I'm defining the late-stage end game. As it optimizes and peaks out, this is where it goes.

  12. Took you out of poverty? What country are you in that had a history of poverty?

  13. Re:Start taking samples now on Scientists Reawaken Cells From a 28,000-Year-Old Mammoth (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    These cats are frightening.

  14. Re:Dr Ian Malcolm said it best on Scientists Reawaken Cells From a 28,000-Year-Old Mammoth (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Those stories are how we process our possible future well in advance. The reason the dystopias never come to pass is specifically because everything has been explored far in advance by fiction. If you think Asimov's fictional 3 laws had no influence on Tesla's pseudo-self-driving cars, you're ignoring a lot.

  15. Re:Who said "help them"? on Alphabet's AI-Powered Chrome Extension Hides Toxic Comments (engadget.com) · · Score: 2

    And what part of that requires reading their online comments?

  16. Re:Helloo filter bubble! on Alphabet's AI-Powered Chrome Extension Hides Toxic Comments (engadget.com) · · Score: 0

    Most people who deal with mentally ill people online are not qualified to help them.

  17. Re:Microsoft making the problem worse on Intel CPU Shortages To Worsen in Q2 2019: Research (digitimes.com) · · Score: 1

    You can still do the in-place upgrade to 10 as far as I'm aware. I still do it every month or two.

  18. Re:Microsoft making the problem worse on Intel CPU Shortages To Worsen in Q2 2019: Research (digitimes.com) · · Score: 1

    A bit off-topic. That wouldn't result in computers being junked in favor of something else.

    They won't be announcing that for 2 more weeks. Shhh!!

    If there's a PC out there that can't have a free update to 10, it probably started its life running XP.

  21. Re: Spreading division is profitable I guess on 'Captain Marvel' Smashes Box Office Record, Laughs Off Review-Bombing Trolls (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 1

    That's not really the same argument at all. It's about wider society agreement in each are the movie is released in. Neo-Nazis don't really have their own countries.

  22. Re: So, balance it out a little on Salon: Republicans Are Launching Fake Local News Sites To Spread 'Propaganda' (salon.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    If that's restrained, I don't even want to know what they be like totally unhinged.

    Math doesn't work like that. The other 20% could be made by any number of companies.

  24. Re:yes and no on Is Bad Customer Service More Profitable Than Good? (hbr.org) · · Score: 1

    Going to a one-off restaurant that's overpriced and not good would be a worse decision than McDonald's. If I don't have time to research in advance, I probably wouldn't take the gamble either - and I like good food.

  25. Re: They got her money on Tufts Expelled a Student For Grade Hacking. She Claims Innocence (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    After this level of press coverage? People are probably tracking her down now. The publicity might pay huge dividends for whatever law firm does the job. This on top of a contingency would be a huge payoff.
