  1. Re:As a Republican, I see this as a net positive. on How To Check If You Interacted With Russian Propaganda On Facebook During the 2016 Election (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    Since its a tool rolled out by facebook yea i wouldn't trust it completely. Wouldn't shock me if it was bit leaning in democrat's favor in things.

  2. Re:Wouldn't Net Neutrality make such actions illeg on Cloudflare's CEO Has a Plan To Never Censor Hate Speech Again (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It would but problem with net neutrality as it is now, only ISP's can be found to be violating it. Companies like google and facebook are exempt from net neutrality so they can do what they please.

  3. Re:Between fuel and maintenance savings... on Tesla's Electric Semi Trucks Are Priced To Compete At $150,000 (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Um so a Semi can do 500 miles in what 8 hours? 9 tops? if they are doing 60-65ish, If i remember right that is 2 hours yet of driving time driver has but would be forced to stop cause outta juice. Next issue, Recharge time which given the battery's needed to power this thing probably gonna take 15+ hours to recharge, which current law's say need 10 hours of off time before can start again. With current rig's that driver is now 7 hours of highway ahead of tesla driver before he even gets back on the road. As much as you say it saves money if 1.26$ per mile is right doesn't seem like much savings after $ per diesel per mile and driver then top on to it how much longer it would take that tesla to get from A to B if its over its limit. If there is a shake up to be had it would be a Hybrid semi that is diesel engine running a generator like on train's.

  4. Re:Purchase price is one thing on Tesla's Electric Semi Trucks Are Priced To Compete At $150,000 (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    Lets also not forget the setup needed to recharge these things which i doubt a standard EV charge point is gonna cut the mustard without take 20+ hours. Having to wait that long is def expensive issue when companies put miles on these trucks they do. IMO only viable option for electric semi would be hybrid setup like used in trains for many years.

  5. Re:Alleged white supremacists actually,... on Twitter Bans, Removes Verified Status of White Supremacists (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sadly people get called racist or white supremacists if they don't tow a certain view point. Its to a point that word has no real meaning since its used to loosely and freely to describe anyone a person with a conflicting view point.

  6. wasn't there's to start with on Apple Wins $120 Million From Samsung In Slide-To-Unlock Patent Battle (theverge.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Apple wasn't first to come up with slide to unlock, there was a Microsoft product that had it years before apple stole and it patented it as their own. Hence in some countries the patent is been voided.

    If tv is only showing picture of other devices you can leave it unconnected if it just used for tv part not smart tv stuff.

  9. Well it would be one them if it was a small purchase maybe few hundred 100$. When its 10k+ or 250grand that the couple tried to charge it becomes fraud since its a flaw they knew was a flaw and exploited.

    one of few places willing to protect the 1st even if its hate speech which is still protected as supreme court has ruled for.

  11. Its funny how, on Trump Can Block People On Twitter If He Wants, Administration Says (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ALl they have to do it SIGN OUT and they can see what he post's. Its not like he banned from the internet or from the site completely. Just another smear campaign against the president they don't like.

  12. Re:Censorship is not the answer on Discord Bans Servers That Promote Nazi Ideology (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I am no fan of racist's either but problem with censoring people is the problem is who decides what is what. Anyone with common sense that have seen things lately people have different views on what is racist. Sadly that line of racism will moved based upon who says it and their views. So one person that is liberal is given way more lee way on the matter where as a conservative is pretty much outright racist without even saying a word. I don't like censoring either side and 1st protects even hate speech even though people don't like it does for very reason I just said.

  13. only 15months late on AMD Launches Radeon RX Vega 64 and Vega 56, Taking On GeForce GTX 1080 and 1070 (hothardware.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Only took AMD 15 months to finally get out a gpu to compete. Which means nivida has had 15months to develop a new gpu to stomp on them.

    I bet money they have language in TOS that says otherwise about it being uncapped. They may not have a listed number but generally all TOS has some section about excessive usage which can be enforced when ever they want.

    Yea was gonna ask who says which one is faster (sometimes). if they are going by mhz then someone been under rock if that if how the decide which is faster, it would be an AMD FX 9590 would beat a i7 4770k easy.

    Maybe the RIAA over charges for streaming. When you compare what a over the air radio station pays vs say spotify pays. Its a wide margin in how much they force streaming side to pay.

  21. Re:No evidence on Former FBI Director Predicts Russian Hackers Will Interfere With More Elections (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    There has been a few Democrat's even one on the senate intelligence committee that came out and there is NOTHING. He said there is a lot of smoke but no gun. If i remember right as well that "company" that examined the DNC servers even back tracked on their claims it was russia.

  22. If it did exist with all the OTHER crap Obama hold overs have leaked, that evidence likely would been as well. As it would help push their narrative but since nothing has leaked shows likely there is nothing to leak

  23. Comey who Democrat's some how loved after he got fired did same thing many times, intelligence on person looking to commit an attack yet did nothing. Fort hood, Pulse night club, San Bernadine, Boston marathon. All those they had intel on person that committed the attack yet nothing was done.

  24. If obama released the info they had which we do know they had, it shows that Obama who is apart of the democrat party was actively wire tapping and spying on a republican candidate for president. Let that sink in to the kinda scandal that is for 1 party to use the powers of government to spy on another? That is seriously ethical problem's. The evidence they had anything was going on was very weak at best not even worthy of a warrant from a try law following judge.

  25. another false flag? on Former FBI Director Predicts Russian Hackers Will Interfere With More Elections (nytimes.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    SO far they claimed Russia hacked the 2016 election but yet not 1 piece of proof has shown that to be true, only so called "hack" that happened on elections was by the DNC rigging the primaries as well as in states like California letting people vote that don't even hold US citizenship.
