If they didn't want him in their party they should have just denied him outright. Then he could have run third party. Instead they pretended to give him a shot at running as democrat and then tried to use him to get more votes for Clinton, but Bernie's followers saw through that bullshit and didn't bite.
Just ship them all to antartica. They will be fine until global warming melts all of that. Alternatively just stick them on some mountain, like everest.
This. And the dumbest thing is that they don't understand that the same people who spread those fake news stories will turn around and start reporting the lefty fake news stories as fake if they ever try to block fake news.
Don't forget some of the news anchors almost breaking into tears and going on all kinds of rants when hearing the news that Trump was going to win. I don't expect them to like Trump, but I do expect them to display some small level of impartiality. They cover all kinds of horrible events across the world with complete indifference but then freak out at the result of a democratic election as if their neighbor slaughtered all the kids in the neighborhood.
By voting for the two major parties no matter what you are sending a message that they can put up the two most disliked candidates and you will vote for them any way. I agree that the problem is the election process. But how are you ever going to change that? The two major parties have 0 incentive to change it.
IMHO this is the result of decades of people saying "don't throw your vote away by voting third party." Of course the US election system isn't good at rewarding for voting third party. Possibly single transferable vote would be better.
Next your going to blame the onion. The people who believe whatever shit they read on facebook would otherwise have believed whatever crap their neighbors told them about something they heard from a friend of a friend. Donald Trump won because of Clinton. There is no way around that. If a person with decades of experience runs against someone who has no experience in politics and has no organized campaign (according to the media at least), and still loses, there is no one else to blame.
Pretty much. If they hire some good marketers they can market them as 100% guaranteed cruelty free diamonds with little to no environmental impact (or at least less than digging them out of the ground), and on top of that 100% pure with no imperfections.
Is how did they switch his phone number without any kind of authorization? He's a paying customer isn't he? Can anyone just walk into the store and request new simcards for random numbers?
The car not taking any decision would by default result in the death of the pedestrian. That is not a fantasy, that is reality. The car would have to actively swerve into a concrete wall or oncoming traffic in order to kill the occupant in order to save a pedestrian. Why would you ever want a car to do that? That's far more active than just hitting the brakes and hoping the person in the road doesn't die.
Read the GPs post. That will be what's going to be investigated. Did you manually drive onto the wrong side of the road and then enable the AI just to see what would happen, resulting in the car running over some pedestrian in an attempt to get off the road? Most likely you will be liable. Did the AI fuck up and take a wrong turn? Probably Mercedes is at fault. The AI will never be held accountable, since it's just a program written by people. There is not going to be a single answer for who is at fault for every situation. Each one will be handled individually just like we do now with car accidents.
But these people should remember that these politicians will put a little bit more effort into finding and punishing whoever did this than the average person.
I agree with the AC. By voting for someone you hate only a little bit less than the opposition you send a message that their policy isn't important and they just have to be slightly less bad than the opposition. If people actually voted for a third party it would do a lot to keep the two big candidates from going this much off the rails.
This. I think a popup is the way to go. If you need some indicator to show other people, put it in the settings menu. A tiny thing like the battery changing green could mean that the battery is fully charged or something. Red could be interpreted as it needs charging. This is probably why google doesn't want companies messing with the battery indicator.

I seriously doubt this, unless you are taught in a very specific way. If you were taught baking in the same way it would have the same effect. Most CS teaching I see is basic "here's how to use these language features" kind of stuff, which doesn't teach you anything useful at al.
I downloaded the "apps" (god I hate that term) I needed when I first got the phone. Why would I need to constantly install new ones? I don't constantly install new programs on my PC either. How many messaging apps does a person need? I'm more surprised that half of smart phone users apparently find a new app to install at least once a month.

The media still refuses to listen.
Depending how this Trump presidency goes it will be even worse next time.
Maybe he wants a trade deal that doesn't include the ability for companies to sue governments over their health regulations?

I'm having a hard time deciding if you were joking or serious.
About time.
Using biometrics as a replacement for passwords was always a stupid idea.
At best they can be used to replace a username.
Why isn't grsecurity part of the mainline?

So instead you want a car that kills the occupant instead of the kid playing stupid games?

The psychopath can already do this.
No need for self driving cars. So in that sense nothing has changed.
And dump it on the beach near new york.
Problem solved.

I think they use it for music more often than for measuring their stair climbing.
