  1. Re:fake news on Physicists Measure Gravity With Record Precision (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Is this rambling available in English?

  2. The rule is "thou shalt not murder". And murder is only killing another one of our kind, that doesn't mean we can't commit some happy genocide in other peoples.

    And no, I don't want that regulation back.

  3. Just because another problem exists doesn't mean we should ignore this one.

  4. The problem here, no lobbyist, no politician and no CEO ever felt useful, so they don't even know what they're missing.

  5. Lobbying is legal.

    Great, you identified the problem, first step done.

  6. Right, we can't endanger profits just because some people want to have an internet that ain't just a walled garden.

  7. And everywhere else you'll have shills try to derail any sensible discussion about it.

    Like, say, here.

    Wrong. Poison their data.

    As a statistician, I can tell you that there is something way, way worse you can do than not provide me with data. Provide me with false data that I cannot tell from genuine data. Because that devalues my whole data set. If enough poison is added, all of my data is worthless.

  10. Why? He does exactly what board and shareholders want, and he needn't give a fuck about anyone else's opinion.

    Welcome to corporate rule!

    Buy your mom a pressure cooker, your dad a box of nails and a few boxes of fertilizer for your garden and if you're lucky, you won't get shot during the raid...

    I'm done trying to get a "buy in". Since there's no amount of facts that would sway the people with their fingers in their ears going "nanana, I can't hear you", why bother wasting your time?

    GP is dead on the mark, look what corporations are doing and where they put their money. When insurance for a shoreline real estate goes through the roof, there might be a reason for it.

    Reality is. Whether you like it or not, whether you believe in it or not. That makes it different from religion and other wishful thinking.

  14. By that logic we'd have a LOT of conformists in Europe. At the least everywhere where the inquisition took place.

    Stop paying multiple times for the same software and just replace it. Adobe thinks you're a bitch and is out to fuck you like one. Don't choose to be a bitch.

    There. Much better.

  16. People already do that by text message for free.

  17. Hey boss?
    I found something new.
    More money,
    less YOU.

    It's naive to assume media have no agenda. At the very least, even if they don't have any political position, they have the agenda to sell their stories. And "President sick. Is it AIDS?" sure sells more issues than "Trump sneezed".

    There is still an amount of time you pay me for. That amount of time you get. You want more, you pay more.

    When I work, you pay me for it. When you consider it work that I read emails, you pay me for it. You don't pay me when I commute, I won't read emails when I commute.

    It is actually that simple.

  23. Trump is rolling in international politics like an elephant in the china store. Replacing that china is gonna cost whoever gets to inherit the potsherds. With his antics, he pretty much alienates every ally the US has, whether military or economy wise, and they start looking for alternatives. Russia sure doesn't mind, that's for sure.

    Can I have a show of hands who still cares? Nobody? Thought so.

    Let's face it. Those that did actually care are by now simply done with trying to convince idiots. I know that I am. Enjoy your planet once you managed to fuck it up beyond repair, I probably won't be here anymore anyway. I'm done trying to inform and teach.

    I sit back with a bowl of popcorn and enjoy the flooding. I'm up here on my hill, enjoy your beach front house. But don't try to climb my hill.
