  1. Re:Technically correct BUT... on Digital IDs Needed To End 'Mob Rule' Online, Says UK's Security Minister (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Call me when this becomes mandated by the government

  2. So the socialists today are not like THAT evil thug.

    They're really more like the OTHER evil thug.

  3. Which party in Germany pursued the nationalization of free health care?

    The Nationalist Socialist Party, also known as the Nazis.

    Which party in the US pursued the nationalization of health insurance (ACA) with a preference (but lack of mandate for) for single payer?

    The DNC. The Democratic party.

    And how are they different?

  4. Hitler and Stalin wanted to expand the size of government.

    Also 8, 20 million civilian deaths between them.

    And they were different how?

  5. You don't think the USSR was built with slave labor?

  6. As a Republican I long to disagree with you on the protectionist thing.

    But I can't !!

    That being said Trumps 5% growth crush's Obama's 2%.

    That is tax cuts and de-regulation all the way.

    Our consultancy has had several folks really making a deal of Kotlin.

    When I first counted on indeed.com a few months ago, I didn't see any listings.

    Then a month ago I saw 5.

    This is in the Raleigh area.

    By comparison there are usually 200 or so C# and thousands of HTMLs.

    If they're hanging out at McDonalds, do they use Big Macbooks?

  9. If by "most used" you mean systems running software developed with that frame work, then maybe.

    If by "most used" you mean number of human beings developing with those frameworks ... no way jose.

    The 2nd one is the most natural way of reading that phrase IMHO.

  10. Re:How surprising,... on Suicide Rates Are Up 30 Percent Since 1999, CDC Says (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    You are clearly not keeping score. US Federal revenues were about $500 bil at the start of Raegan's admin and about double that when he left.

    During the superbowl interview, Barack Obama was asked how government revenues INCREASED after the Bush (43) tax cuts and Obama said it was because the economy grew under Bush W 43. Btw, W was not a democrat.

    Growth under Obama never made it to 3% but is about to hit 5% under his successor (a Republican).

    Your generalization is so flawed it is hard for me to even see where you are coming from.

    Are you just being a provocateur?

    Typically his opponents suggest it is a coincidence. Just like economic growth being
    Voters don't see this as a coincidence. In fact they demand the economy improve A LOT if a GOP gets installed into the White House. If not ... (Bush 41) they don't stick around to a 2nd term.

    I think it is fairly easy to see how relaxing regulations and stock increases would ease employers into buying computers, but there's no way to prove causation here. Actually ... modern predictive analytics would be interesting to try out on this. Feed the GDP and party affiliation into an agent learning ML instance and see who it decides to vote for. Of course this would be ripe for manipulation ...

  18. False premise on Copyright Law Could Put End To Net Memes (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Usually the things that become memes take some research to make sure there is no IP in them.

    The story with disaster girl was her literal dad in real life worked very hard to research this and make it happen.

    The upshot is if it sticks as a meme (after any potential law jungle-ry) then the courts aren't going to bring it down.

    So there's really no potential for our beloved comrade Stalin to rescue the memes held hostage by future counter-revolutionary activity.

    Glad to see you aren't letting him down.

    Following your bets above I think the DNC should run people like Elizabeth Warren, Jeremiah Wright, Alvin Green, Jonathan Edwards, and Anthony Weiner.

  23. Elected people (like presidents) should be running the EPA.

    Not judges. Not "their evidence" or whatever.

    Not helping is that Mueller wants to decide who is in the White House.

  24. Government helpers on Honolulu Lawmakers Pass 'Surge Pricing' Cap For Ride-Hailing Companies (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Think of all those people making too much money and how government is directly helping them. And then there's the aspect of more people need rides and the government is helping these companies learn how to disregard them.

    Guys! This is a WIN ... WIN. Excellent.

    Creativity works everytime. Especially in states locked into the Democrat party where the state government helps people decide if they can have homes by allowing or disallowing them to have water meters. Or by helping them decide if expensive jet inter-island travel is better by telling them that all ferry travel is a crime against nature. Or by disallowing non-state hospitals from starting up because those poor, poor state hospital workers can't compete (in that case I can't take credit for a creative reason, this is actually the official reason ... I'm not the one being creative).

    And look how Hawaii has benefited from all this: they enjoy the highest levels of crystal meth amphetamines, drug related crimes (which are really acts of innovation and property redistribution committed by people ahead of their times), community interactions (which may be in the form of ethnic violence), and fancy products and housing (so fancy, in fact, that they are the highest prices in the nation next to San Francisco).

    Shouldn't we all aspire to these things? Hopefully its just a matter of time before we all can these wonderful policies brought to our lands. I was just sooo sad when I uprooted from Maui and moved to Raleigh, NC 7 years ago.

    Thank you government helpers!

    I would expect an LED display would weigh the same if not more than a real window, but it is probably going to be more $$$.
