Uh oh, someone with mod points doesn't like people pointing out when Trump does things he's railed against others for doing.
I commented on a Trump thread once with about four separate factual responses and had every one of them modded to -1 within hours.
Based on what we know of Cambridge Analytica and Russian Troll factories, it's quite feasible that a group somewhere has ghost accounts specifically to get mod points to to try swaying the conversation.
It would be good if there were some Slashdot analytics you could run on mod operations to see if there's any manipulation going on here.
Maybe but moderations here at least mean almost exactly nothing.
He's made sure the US get to sell more stuff to China.
Possibly lowered the threat from NK and increase stability in the region.
Syria & Iraq seem to be going pretty well regardless of whom doing it.
He's doing what he said he'd do with Iran. No idea how that ends.
I don't know how the wall is going and relations with Russia seem to have weakened but I guess that may more be the result of the deep state rather than something Trump really wished.
US sell to china? All your shit is made in china. What's lower than zero? A negative I guess but does that mean NK are going to to start giving you people and supplies etc? Iraq might be doing better but Syria still seems pretty fucked. None of which was what got him in. How's Hilldog getting on? How's the swamp draining going? How's the wall coming along, is mexico still paying?
Canada have this two officials language, even if the Alerts was send in French. Butg since the people managing the system are racist against french speaking people, the vocabulary in the Alert and the grammar was so off that none of the french speaking population CAN NOT read the thing supposed written in french that was send.
Now I know very little of French Canada but this is the exact kind of stuck up shit you would expect of the French too. No one will be moaning that your english is really bad and unreadable.
How is UK's gun ban working for London's stabbing rates?
What kind of retarded fucking question is that? How is the gun ban working for the whole countries shooting rates? Very well, it's very rare anyone is shot these days. Sure it happens but the last school massacre was a very long time ago now. People are always going to violent and find weapons. No one says a gun ban puts an end to violence but it does make that violence a lot less life threatening and severe most of the time. But hey, lets ban knives too and then you'll just go on about the fist problem.
"Most people" are not Tesla drivers. You can't buy or drive a Tesla without being tediously told, over and over, that the car is NOT self-driving (yet), and that you need to KEEP YOUR HANDS ON THE WHEEL and YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD.
Do people take their eyes off the road anyway? Sure. But it is not because of a lack of knowledge or understanding.
And you can't grow up without constantly and tediously being told not to do all kinds of stupid shit that adults do a daily basis but here we are.
Here is text cut and pasted from Tesla's web page. It is the most prominent text about the self driving option because it is in bold, like this while the rest of the text about self driving option is not.
"Please note that Self-Driving functionality is dependent upon extensive software validation and regulatory approval, which may vary widely by jurisdiction. It is not possible to know exactly when each element of the functionality described above will be available
That's a lot of legalese for what you said was a bolded flat out statement. And it doesn't clearly say not available yet, it says the quality varies in different areas and the cant say when EACH ELEMENT of the desired function will be available.
What does that mean? I'm sorry but that's not clear at all, it basically just says it might work.
There is a simple solution though. Call it something that doesn't imply it drives itself which auto pilot very much does to someone who doesn't know what auto pilots actually do. Remove any source of confusion.
Well they need to stop calling it auto pilot. I know that's not what an auto pilot does and I assume you do to, but for the most part people assume auto pilot means exactly that.

The problem is facebooks nipple ban upset a lot of breastfeeding moms
So what? Sure it's a perfectly natural thing but so is taking a shit.

I sure wish Asimov were still alive to enforce the 3 (4?) laws.
Another one that doesn't understand them.
Women, it counts.
good thing this wasn't in the UK.
they weigh in 'stones' and pay in 'pounds'.
We only weigh people in stones because reasons.
And they keep trying to discover that horse’s name.
That's the password.

Works for apple.
Elon Musk is a religion.
So he gets to be a dick to everyone and doesn't have to pay taxes?
So you're saying the US should have colonized the Gaulic region of Europe.
Seeing as there hasn't been a Gaulic region for about 1500 hundred years and the the US has existed for less than 300, probably not.
A colleague once tried to put a flatworm in his mouth, Justine recounted. The man still describes it as “one of the worst experiences of his life.”
Was the colleague a three year old?

True. Although the F-15 does have a reasonable amount of body lift.
And a metric shit ton more thrust.
The summary says the wings "ROTATE". Rotating wings!!! Man, there is a safety issue.
Rotating wings? So, propellers then?
Do you honestly believe that Hillary wouldn't pull same shit on him if they swapped places? Pot calling kettle black. Captcha:swingers
Did she spend the previous block of years moaning at Obama for doing it?
So, we're basically looking at motion powered by Earth's EM, not the craft's EM.
Well. scale it up to work on the suns EM and then you're laughing.
This kid was kidnapped by his own mother, fucking asshole.
Wait, why is the kid the asshole? ;)
You say that as if you can't still get dumb phones and you've shown some kind of massive insight as to why you've kept one.

But but but if it saves one child, it is worth it! Everything, including reason, must fall before the feet of safety.
Yeah man, fuck those kids, I don't want my phone beeping.

For most people "autopilot" means self-driving.
"Most people" are not Tesla drivers. You can't buy or drive a Tesla without being tediously told, over and over, that the car is NOT self-driving (yet), and that you need to KEEP YOUR HANDS ON THE WHEEL and YOUR EYES ON THE ROAD.

Tesla has not been calling AP "self-driving"
Well they need to stop calling it auto pilot. I know that's not what an auto pilot does and I assume you do to, but for the most part people assume auto pilot means exactly that.
In my home country of Denmark you can't go 870 miles in any direction from any point in the country without ending up in another country altogether.
Or the ocean.
I suspect this is true for a lot of the smaller European countries, though I can't be bothered to pull up a bunch of maps to check for certain.
I remember hearing a good Canadian saying, Don't know if it actually is one or not but still.
America is where they think 100 years is old and Europe is where they think 100 miles is far.
