  1. Re:As Someone Actually In Turkey on Turkey Says It's Investigating 10,000 Social Network Users (engadget.com) · · Score: 2

    What do you think about the recent abortive "coup" attempt? To me, it seemed like an operation completely in the control of Erdogan's government with the goal of providing a pretext for the current crushing of dissent. I'm not over there, though.

  2. Re:Providing an SJW platform is not a viable busin on Twitter Is 'Toast' and the Stock Is Not Even Worth $10, Says Analyst (cnbc.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think the unprofitable nature of the thing is what is not "a viable business," identity politics or no.

  3. Timely!

  5. A toothless, feel-like-they've-addressed-the-problem fine... Facebook can pay that ten times a year and still make a profit from its users. Doubtless, teams of lawyers will be able to whittle that amount down, as well.

    I suppose it doesn't instantly make you a neo-nazi, you could just be brain dead, or you might be 10 years old and hadn't read anything on it yet. I can't think of any other possibilities.

    Sorry, I need a Venn Diagram...

    ...I'm sure that companies would simply stop selling computers to the Palmetto State, right?

    Genius, that. Kudos.

  12. Re:America hates Hillary Clinton on Electoral College Elects Donald Trump As President (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    The reason Trump won was because a bunch of people voted for him.

    You want to blame somebody else for Trump winning, blame yourself and every other nitwit that cast a vote for Clinton.

    Pardon, what?

    The word you are searching for is "figurehead", qv Zaphod Beeblebrox.

    The smear-job against Mrs. Clinton was well under way before Bill was elected. The way I recall, it was something like, "Who is this educated cunt telling me I need to pay for some one else's health care?!?"

    Nobody in the HA crowd has ever been able to offer a coherent value proposition for how HA could improve *my* life that would in any way be useful to *me*.

    Ok, I'm a personal privacy enthusiast, but isn't this taking paranoia a little far?

    Not the fact of the archiving, but the fact that you're talking about a MASSIVE amount of "noise" with no signal. I just don't see it as a problem. Just use a bit of forethought and OpSec if you actually have something to hide.

    The "signal" in fact gets better in this case. If anything, having Amazon & Google & whoever else working at cross-profit-maximizing-purpose seems...inefficient.

  22. We literally are spending tons of money on "Special needs" kids who are NEVER going to be productive

    Is "productivity" the sum of a human existence?

  23. It's surprising how few of those CEOs are visionaries.

    Is it, though? They're just people. If we could train and select for Vision, we would.
