  1. Re: Don't worry, regulation will end that nonsens on Rural America Is Building Its Own Internet Because No One Else Will (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    You think that rifle is going to help you in negotiations with Comcast?

  2. I remember some old 3rd party controllers that had this ability (Playstation/ N64 area) it let you dominate in combo based fighting games. But I don't know if they are made for modern consoles.

  3. Re:Mob justice all the way on Medium Will Now Pay Writers Based On How Many 'Claps' They Get (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Seems like it would be rather hypocritical of them to support an industry they are complaining about.
    Maybe if someone made a game or movie to their tastes they might be more inclined to purchase.

  4. Re: Meanwhile the extreme left is unscathed on Cloudflare Stops Supporting Neo-Nazi Site The Daily Stormer (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't think you understand the idea of "protected class", speech is not part of it people are. It's the reason states were able to get away with gerrymandering under the guise of drawing lines in regards to Dem/Rep and not black/white which would have been illegal.

  5. Re:Problematic as a precedent on No Cash For Hate, Say Mainstream Crowdfunding Firms (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Not this crap again. Don't you realize the difference between discriminating against someone for what have done vs. who they are?

  6. Re: Working backwards on Blizzard and DeepMind Turn StarCraft II Into An AI Research Lab (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    A lot of the actions in SC2 is micromanaging units to avoid damage and keep units in perfect range all the while responding to your opponent doing the same. So an AI would still need to make all those quick actions to keep up.

  7. Re:Why is it so hard to admit? on In Response To Anti-diversity Memo, YouTube CEO Says Sexism in Tech is 'Pervasive' (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    It also doesn't mean it's absent either. You're exemplifying OP's exact point in denying that it even *might* be the problem

  8. Re:Just like every store on Amazon Owns a Whole Collection of Secret Brands (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    I wonder how many of those are actually owned by the stores or are just relabeled versions of other brands. I know Costco (I think Trader Joe's too) does this.

  9. Re:Scavenger on New Research Shows Humans Could Outrun T. Rex · · Score: 1

    Carrion eating birds like vultures and condors tend to be fairly large.

  10. I don't see why you'd use a flat tax and not stick with a progressive tiered system (obviously you'd have to adjust the value and rates of those tiers to make it work)

  11. Re:'equalize opportunity' on Y Combinator Announces Funding For UBI-Supporting Political Candidates (latimes.com) · · Score: 1

    That story was about equalizing ability, not opportunity

  12. Re:Your Ignorance is Not Proof of Conspiracy on Afghan Girl Roboticists Denied US Visas (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    This is the correct and simple answer. I wish I had mod points, and you hadn't posted as AC.

  13. Re:The market was already moving in this direction on The iPhone Turns 10 (economist.com) · · Score: 1

    But we'd had inertial scrolling on laptop touch-pads before this, not really a game changer to keep that function when you combine it with a screen.

  14. Re:All the scientists on EPA Dismisses Half the Scientists on Its Major Review Board (nymag.com) · · Score: 1

    reviewing science is a part of doing science

  15. That would make results far too easy to game and then the top results will just be whomever understand the algorithm better, not what's searched for.

  16. Re:yeah on Is Social Media Making Us Hate Each Other? (bostonglobe.com) · · Score: 1

    I haven't read the book so maybe you could answer, is this a quote from one of the characters in the book or the author's point of view? I hate when the two are conflated.

  17. Re:yeah on Is Social Media Making Us Hate Each Other? (bostonglobe.com) · · Score: 1

    Who in their right mind modded this troll? When did basic decency become controversial?

  18. >my parents do not like or support gay marriage
    >They treat lgbt just like every other person.
    So they don't like straight marriage either?

  19. Re:TED ideas = super obvious ideas on TED Wants To Remind Us That Ideas -- Not Politicians -- Shape the Future (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Learning more languages would seem to be in everyones' best interest, no?

  20. Re:Competition is a beautiful thing on AMD Launches Higher Performance Radeon RX 580 and RX 570 Polaris Graphics Cards (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    My 7850 work just fine for a 4k desktop and most older games too (downscale to 1080 if I want 60fps in more modern games)

  21. I think Stephen's idea was increasing accessibility to training and higher education.

  22. Re:They probably have more stores than they need on GameStop To Close At Least 150 Stores Due To Poor Q4 Sales (nintendowire.com) · · Score: 1

    They could still sell hardware. Gaming peripherals are a big market these days.

  23. Re:I know the way Slashdotters vote but... on Germany Plans To Fine Social Media Sites Over Hate Speech (reuters.com) · · Score: 1
    Well duh, the authoritative ones are always going to try and get themselves into positions of power. So any movement or organization is going to end up run by those types. The only defense I can think of is to try to set up safeguards before those authoritarians take over.

    This just reinforces the view that the only people fit to lead are those that don't want to.

  24. Re:Not sure what to think.... on President Obama Commutes Chelsea Manning's Sentence (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Why not just admit that being a vegetable or fruit is not mutually exclusive?

  25. I guess the flip side is that it's small enough to put in your fridge while doing that rendering.
