    people can do the fact checking for themselves.

    They can, but they don't, wherein lies the problem.

  2. Consolidating these activities in one branch with expertise in that area makes perfect sense.
    No, it really doesn't.

    But the Space Force is never going to happen anyway, because congress ain't gonna pass anything for it.

  3. Yeah, and Youtube nerds are never wrong.

  4. I think the problem is that The Last Jedi was the worst Star Wars movie ever (yes, worse than Episode I)

    Haha no. Not even close.

  5. Re:Make cars more expensive on California Leads States In Suing the EPA For Attacking Vehicle Emissions Standards (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    You are left improving energy consumed in other ways like making the vehicle lighter (and weaker),

    Or we could just stop making 3 ton SUVs with huge V8s. Just a thought.

  6. like start and stop, hybrid systems that do nothing but make car more complex

    Yeah! Let's get rid of all those things that make cars more complex. Like power steering, power brakes, anti-lock brakes, catalytic converters, air conditioning, seat belts, air bags, etc, etc.

    Model Ts for everyone!

  7. Re:Not a new idea on Was There a Civilization On Earth Before Humans? (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 2

    There's a lot of stuff we produce that doesn't rot or corrode away with the passage of time.

    I think you underestimate the effects of Deep Time. If humans all disappeared today, in 10 million years the only things left *might* be some fragments of space probes and a thin geologic layer with some odd chemistry.

  8. Which is why these reciprocal tariffs against China will hopefully force China to abandon it's xenophobic, racist, and anti-free market trade barriers that it has maintained for years and years.

    Oh you sweet summer child.

  9. So... on Linus Torvalds Slams CTS Labs Over AMD Vulnerability Report (zdnet.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    They require a system administrator to be almost criminally negligent to work.

    You might want to sit down for this....

  12. Re:Please don't read summaries of the memo on GOP Memo Criticizing FBI Surveillance is Released (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    All of this is wrong, by the way.

    And your tinfoil hat is on inside out.

  13. Re:Nothing partisan about the memo on GOP Memo Criticizing FBI Surveillance is Released (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    But some of this just confirms what some already were saying.

    Unsubstantiated memo written by a partisan hack confirms what right-wing nutjobs are saying on the Internet? Wow!

    But more important is how any evidence Muller has obtained in his investigation that was directly or indirectly obtained through this FISA warrant is now defunct.

    Wrong, but thanks for playing.

  14. Re:partisan politics on GOP Memo Criticizing FBI Surveillance is Released (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    On the contrary, it reveals top FBI officials acting in a way that is clearly not designed to protect US persons rights.

    No, actually, it doesn't. Because the entire memo is unsubstantiated, cherry-picked garbage. Hope this helps!

  15. Re:Carter Page is a known Russian Agent on GOP Memo Criticizing FBI Surveillance is Released (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Except the warrant wasn't based solely on the dossier because the FISA court said it was insufficient, You wanna try again?

  16. Re:The Irony of Stability. on Why Tether's Collapse Would Be Bad For Cryptocurrencies (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    How ironic we're worried about Tether doing this when the very currency that provides their stability has been doing it for years.

    Except one of them is backed by the might of the United States government and the other is backed by.... what? A promise that they can pay you back, no really!, from a company that fired their auditors.

  17. Re: Is there any other option, Linus? on Linus Torvalds Calls Intel Patches 'Complete and Utter Garbage' (lkml.org) · · Score: 2

    Thank goodness Linus is saying this, because it will force Intel to solve it.

    Oh you sweet summer child.

    It was a three-judge panel. Wynn just wrote the opinion.

  19. Use spaces. If some idiot (or their editor) puts tabs in the code, search and replace them with spaces. Then find the idiot that put in the tabs and have them shot. It's not a problem.

  20. Re:Provided you have infinite hardware resources.. on Why ESR Hates C++, Respects Java, and Thinks Go (But Not Rust) Will Replace C (ibiblio.org) · · Score: 1

    You'd immediately spot an error in the second because the sentence would look "wrong".

    No I wouldn't, because I'd have to read the sentence, then read it again because it doesn't quite read like correct English. Then say, "wait, what?" and read it again.

    NK isn't going to nuke California, because if they do they will cease to exist. Not as a regime or as a nation, but as an object.

  23. Re:I've always adored the nay-sayers here on Bitcoin Nears $6,000 For the First Time (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    It's still a bubble and a scam. The fact that it's gone to $6k doesn't negate either of those.

  24. Re:Linux doesn't even have a good desktop environm on Munich Plans New Vote on Dumping Linux For Windows 10 (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    Look at Ubuntu; they had this horror called Unity that was basically the Apple philosophy on Linux, a one-size-fits-none GUI that "knew better" than its users and wanted to have a similar experience for everyone, and it has been a huge failure.

    Except it wasn't a failure because it was an Apple-style one-size-fits-none GUI. It was a failure because it wasn't very good. It was a cargo-cult copy.

  25. It wasn't bad, the formulation and lagrangian sections are understandable by anyone with an undergraduate understanding of calculus,

    I have an undergraduate understanding of calculus and don't understand the math in that article at all.

    Maybe you meant a PhD understanding of calculus.
