You know, you fools that keep comparing Trump to Hitler or the "right" to nazi's have no fucking clue what the hell you are are talking about.
No. Listen carefully.
We are not comparing Trump to Hitler, we are pointing out that there are literal, actual Nazis involved in his administration and in his electoral campaign. And many others who are not literal Nazis, but have supported Nazis or nationalists, or are nationalists, or are just generally awful people.
Well looking at these facts I see a bunch of claims by Trump that could or could not be tree.
Care to name a specific one?
What I don't see is evidence from the Washington Post that can be used to check their facts.
You have to check their back-issues. As handy as it would be if they provided links, Trump lies so much that it's difficult to keep up and keep all the evidence organized. That's why I'm asking you for a specific example, so that there is a manageable number to fact-check.
The problem is, all the sources of news are so skewed in one way or another that people don't know who to trust anymore.
That's not true. For example, the BBC goes to great lengths to present both sides of an argument. In fact the BBC has been criticised for it, because some people feel that they give fringe views only held by a small number of people too much weight in comparison to more mainstream ones.
No news outlet is going to track down every random conspiracy theory just to get "all sides", but there are some who so present a mostly unbiased description of events and the opinions of those involved.
I don't want to go too far in defending them because I have on occasion sent them corrections myself (and they acted on them), but this idea that there are no reliable sources any more is just dangerous post-truth hand-wringing.
The difference between CNN and fake news is that CNN publishes retractions and corrections.
Fake news isn't about bias, it's about fabricating stories entirely with the intent to mislead and continuing those lies even after they have been exposed. Just being less than perfect doesn't count, and if you think it does then literally all news is fake.
In Nintendo's defence, they probably didn't expect the Switch to sell that well. The Wii did okay, the Wii U didn't...
But yeah, if there are shortages of the SNES Classic, that's unforgivable. It's kind of insane that they decided not to make more NES Classics, given that they were basically a licence to print money.
The cameras accept incoming telnet connections, so that they can be remotely controlled. Even basic firewalls can allow outgoing packets for a TCP connection that was established from the outside, although usually it's the other way around.
I can see ISPs blocking telnet and other services, the same way as they block port 21 to prevent email spam.
Maybe they could sell it as a feature. Have a second SSID for not-very-smart devices that is firewalled and remotely filtered and monitored for malicious activity. The privacy implications are mind boggling but I'm sure most people would see it as a great feature.
Okay, good for you, but isn't the point of *Internet* of Things devices is that they are connected to the internet. If they aren't connected, they are just dumb devices and you wasted your money buying them.
The situation in the UK is pretty fucked up. If you don't trust the police (and why would you, they have a track record of lying) you have to convince a jury that's why you didn't want to talk to them. And most juries are quite conservative and willing to trust the police, which is why they get away with lying so often.
A better model would be pre-orders that the company can then take to other investors as evidence that their product is in demand.
Alternatively Kickstarter could have a team that evaluates proposals in detail, but they make a lot of money from these scams so that's not going to happen.
It's going to take lawsuits and maybe legislation to fix this. People wouldn't pay for safe cars given the choice, but since the consequences of that can end up hurting other people they have to be forced to.
I agree to some extent, but I think even moderates on the right tend to want to force people to accept their morality and religion. For example, on same sex marriage or abortion rights.
The left tends towards the principle of doing what you like as long as it doesn't harm others. I suppose conservatives would argue that too, except that two guys getting married "injures" them somehow, but leftists are just making trouble when they complain about naming that building after the guy who owned their ancestors.
That's a funny definition, considering the left does it's best to accommodate violent, expansionist Islam whenever it gets the chance.
How does this bullshit get modded up?
The left wants people treated fairly, not lumped together and treated as one group. Muslims, like Christians and Jews, are not one homogeneous group.
It's entirely possible to oppose Islamic values, morality and terrorism while still objecting to mistreatment or unwarranted discrimination against Muslims.
Movies like Return of the Jedi must really suck with all the violence and metal bikini stuff removed. Major parts of the plot would just be missing, like how they escaped from Jabba or Vader losing yet another hand, seeing Luke tortured and turning on his master.
PrivacyBadger uBlock Origin uBlock Origin Extra CanvasFingerprintBlock Disable WebGL Vanilla Cookie Manager (if you want to manually manage cookie permissions)
Canvas fingerprinting is something that doesn't get enough attention. Basically they can identify your browser by rendering to a hidden HTML canvas element. WebGL can be used in a similar way to tack you, so best to disable it and just whitelist the tiny number of sites that have a legitimate use for it.
For PaleMoon/Firefox I don't use either regularly, but uBlock and PrivacyBadger are available.
I'm sure there will be an extension that makes it the default, if they don't support it in the preferences.
Google didn't intentionally break the autoplay extensions, they broke because they worked by blocking Flash and HTML video tags in the page. Web sites instead generate HTML5 tags via Javascript, which needs something a bit more advanced (like uBlock) to deal with.
The one upside of Flash was that it was easy to block.
I'm a bit worried by their FSD technology. The current auto-steering/speed control needs to use map data to work, i.e. its maps tell it where sharp bends are so it can slow down, that sort of thing. For full self driving it needs to be able to work without accurate maps, e.g. there might be some roadworks or a new road layout that isn't on the map yet.
At best the car would be forced to stop, possibly stranding the passengers if they were unable to legally drive it. At worst it might not slow down in time.
Maybe they will get rid of this requirement before release. The fact that they are selling the feature right now is worrying though, because either it's screwing people over with something that won't be released for years, maybe even before they sell/scrap the car, or because they are planning to release it way too early.
I'm not expecting this upgrade any time soon. When they moved from the V1 to V2 sensor package the current auto-steering system got a lot worse, and the car's ability to read its surroundings was severely degraded too.
For example, on the V1 package the car could tell the difference between motorcycles, cars and trucks. The V2 sees motorcycles as cars and often mistakes trucks for cars as well. It also seems to detect them much later, and not see nearly as far ahead as V1. The auto-steering seems much more prone to over and under-steer as well, sometimes crossing into oncoming traffic if the driver isn't paying attention.
That set-back seems to have massively delayed their self driving plans. Clearly if they can't get auto-steering and their vehicle detection sensors to work even as well as the old hardware, they aren't going to push out to full self driving any time soon.
In practice what happens is the engineer only certifies for very limited use cases in controlled environments, and the management/sales people push it further. Then a few years later in court the engineer produces their documentation to show that they didn't support it being used that way and tried to warn people of the impending disaster.
I wonder if he really did use petabytes, or if he uploaded multiple copies of the same dataset and the server deduplicated it all down to a few gigs.
I find it hard to believe that if it wasn't deduplicated Amazon wouldn't have cut him off by now. Their service is "unlimited" in the modern sense of the word, where there is actually a secret "unlimit" that they won't tell you but if you exceed it they will ask you to pay for a metered business account.

It is out business if they are breaking the law. Don't you have employment laws covering hostile workplaces and sexual harassment?

Give me just one example of a European left wing leader being paralysed by fear of being labelled islamophobic when faced with mass murder.

More evidence of Slashdot moderation trolling. The parent post has:
20% Informative
20% Flamebait
20% Insightful
Clearly the flamebit mod is bullshit, it's not in the least bit inflammatory (unless disagreement triggers you, poor snowflake).
Thanks for the kind words.
For Chrome I recommend:
PrivacyBadger
uBlock Origin
uBlock Origin Extra
CanvasFingerprintBlock
Disable WebGL
Vanilla Cookie Manager (if you want to manually manage cookie permissions)
Canvas fingerprinting is something that doesn't get enough attention. Basically they can identify your browser by rendering to a hidden HTML canvas element.

It's the same as other "speech only" crimes like fraud. "But I just wrote some numbers on a piece of paper! My freeze peach!" isn't much of a defence.
