    I say the 'burden of explanation' rests on those asking for change.

  10. Re:Globalization is inevitable on Silicon Valley Bosses Are Globalists, Not Libertarians (economist.com) · · Score: 1

    Maintain borders, strong alliances, Constitution and republican government. You know, what we've been doing here for 200 years. Resisting globalism won't suddenly turn the US into North Korea.

  11. Re:Globalization is inevitable on Silicon Valley Bosses Are Globalists, Not Libertarians (economist.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Why is the answer so black and white? Maybe there is some middle position that would work best for our country.

  12. Re:Fakes abound. on Apple's 'Shoddy' Beats Headphones Get Slammed In Lawsuit (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    So they were tricked into buying headphones that were 12$ to make?

  13. Re:FIRST POST on Study Finds That Banning Trolls Works, To Some Degree (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Because the internet is for regular people now. Most clever trolls wouldn't even be noticed....

  14. Re:Currently Writing a Book on Ask Slashdot: What Are You Reading This Month? · · Score: 1

    Me too- I am writing a modern western (diesel trucks instead of horses, drugs instead of gold). Should I finish it?

  15. The Wicked Day on Ask Slashdot: What Are You Reading This Month? · · Score: 1

    Just finished Mary Stewart's 'The Wicked Day', part of a series that is a pretty unique telling of the Arthurian tales as told by Merlin. Great historo-fantasy (or whatever it's called)

  16. Re:The question on Disney Is Lone Holdout From Apple's Plan to Sell 4K Movies for $20 (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    I am assuming here that these would be sold when movie is in the theater?

  21. Re:To be fair, who cares? on Android Always Beats the iPhone To New Features, Qualcomm Says (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    OLED uses more power that's probably why they haven't been used in portables.

  22. Re:In retaliation ... on China Joins the Growing Movement To Ban Gasoline, Diesel Cars (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Fortunately if electric makes serious inroads on ICE engines I should be able to get gas for 1$ a gallon and extend the usefulness of my current car another couple of decades.

  23. Re:Trump pumps his fist, yessss, coal cars finally on China Joins the Growing Movement To Ban Gasoline, Diesel Cars (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Correct!
    Using methane as a hydrogen donor you can reform coal into gasoline.

  24. That's really not a good description of the way hallucinogenics work at all. It's more like you have a planner in your brain with 'do this, do that, this is your list of assumptions' and the hallucinogen wipes the planner clean....

  25. Re:And I hope but don't hold my breath on Government Officials Begin Investigating Equifax Breach (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    Except that public people aren't really exposed to risk that regular people are since everyone knows who they are.
