  1. Re:Ain't gonna pay out on Monsanto Ordered To Pay $289 Million In Roundup Cancer Trial (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    290million is way beyond legal compensation. The appeal will bring it down to maybe a mill at most but would like to see what basis was used to claim it caused his cancer and if it even is valid to prove it was reason and not something else.

  2. Re:NDAs are bullshit excuses on Cities' Offers For Amazon Base Are Secrets Even To Many City Leaders (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    If a city or county is giving things like tax breaks etc, then it should info anyone can look at NDA be damned since it involves tax payers money.

    um high speed internet is classified at like min of 25mbit. Most DSL doesn't even hit that speed. Where i live max claimed is 24mbit.

  4. Re:Solution to Net Neutrality on FCC Sides With Google Fiber Over Comcast With New Pro-Competition Rule (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    If you have choice of 3-4 ISP's, you don't need net neutrality law as the isp's will keep each other in check.

  5. Net neutrality also let a few companies off the hook like google and facebook. They were exempt from it so they could do what they wanted including all the censoring that happened. Most people didn't notice the censoring was happening even under so called net neutrality cause they could.

  6. Both Comcast and Google are very Pro-democrat supporting company. So Even with Google being pro-democrat, GOP seems more friendly to them.

  7. Re:In case you're wondering why Pai would do this. on FCC Sides With Google Fiber Over Comcast With New Pro-Competition Rule (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Pretty sure Verizon is focused on doing wireless service now and any physical lines they would love to just do away with.

  8. Re:Disaster waiting to happen on FCC Sides With Google Fiber Over Comcast With New Pro-Competition Rule (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Well I think its fair to allow them to move lines if the incumbent decides to drag their feet on purpose.

  9. I don't think loss of users which were bots were reason they lost so much value, More likely its recent revealation's of "shadow banning".

    Gov doesn't have power to do such a thing on top of he lacks any balls to even try.

  11. Re:Shoud the win on New York Orders Charter Out of State (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    That tax would have to apply to ALL cable providers, so Comcast and cox would get same tax else could rule it illegal to single out 1 company like it does. Further more take 1 guess who will feel the major brunt of that tax? Yes the people of NY so in the end people of the state would be worse off. That is just common sense.

    Good example is Twitch streamers, Ones that game and stream off same cpu. Hyper threading help's a ton in that when playing a game and encoding video at same time.

  13. Re:Some people like physically seeing items. on Best Buy Is Thriving In the Age of Amazon (defenseone.com) · · Score: 2

    Other nice thing is since BB has locations usually near you, if you can order it from their site you have a LOCAL place you can take it to if you have problem's. No need to worry about boxing it back up after dealing with online support, can take it straight to a physical location.

  14. Re:Higher capacity SSD = faster? on The New MacBook Pro Features 'Fastest SSD Ever' In a Laptop (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    Higher capacity of SSD's have more v-nand chips which means SSD controller will write to more chips hence speeding up write speeds. Think of each chip as a pipe, you can only get so much water down a single pipe, add in more pipe's then more water can transfer through.

  15. Re:*Fastest*? on The New MacBook Pro Features 'Fastest SSD Ever' In a Laptop (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    NVME m.2 SSD's can do that speed. Samsung's 970 and 960 pro/evo lines can hit near speed they tout and 960's been out for a few years.

    Thing people over look We are also talking about a LAPTOP. Not really greatest thing for gaming most the time. 99.999% of people will never get any really noticeable benefit from 3.2GB/s read speeds that a good SATA3 ssd won't handle just fine if you can also get 2x the space for less $. On side note of ssd chips in soldered to the board, i have a dell with an m.2 slot i could put a SSD of same speed in and not have to replace the whole laptop if ssd fail's. I put a 500gb sata based m.2 in mine cause it was same price as nvme 256gb version and its quick.

  17. They will never release it, I mean first 12 people and 3 companies they charged got a lawyer and Mueller team tried to stall when said lawyer walked in to court and demanded to see the evidence they had. Thank god the judge wasn't having any of that stalling.

    If there was Outrage over Obama doing it then more people would known they did it and not learned about after Cambridge thing came to light. I follow tech news pretty closely and i didn't even hear about it til after they made a stink about it helping trump win. Main Stream Moron's didn't even bat 1 word about it and even when bashing Cambridge over the matter they would gloss over fact Obama did it 4 years before like it never happened just as they glossed over fact CLINTON camp was doing exact same thing but no problem with her side doing it only 1 side.

  25. tesla win's in the end... on Tesla Agrees To Settle Class Action Over Autopilot Billed As 'Safer' (reuters.com) · · Score: 1, Redundant

    "The Tesla owners said they paid an extra $5,000 to have their cars equipped" "who paid to get the Autopilot upgrade between 2016 and 2017, will receive between $20 and $280 in compensation." Unless I misread something in that Tesla is on the winning end by 4720-4980$ per car it was installed on. Least in this summary people are getting a tiny amount back, .4% to hair over 5% of their money back for a defective system.
