  1. Re:Hopefully soon, more info about this aspect on Boring Company Approved To Build Futuristic Garage That Would Connect To Underground Commuter Tunnel (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 1

    Extra points to anyone who can design an off ramp that splits off in such as way as to make it impossible for any vehicle to ever hit the divider because that is the only point in the system where a head on collision with a wall could happen.

    Aren't these things mag-lev rails? Construct a magnetic field flush with the divider making an apparent seamless wall.

    Tech probably isn't there, but this would probably be one of the only routes to meet that goal. It would have to be fast enough to turn on/off in a moments notice for each passing train/car/whatever.

    The ballots you're reading when voting, they say "Republican is blue".

    Remember that, don't believe whatever someone else tells you, just vote blue.

    Just thought I'd help those with reading-comprehension deficiencies in the world. Civic duty and all.

    Trump? Are we talking about the same Trump?

    Trump is the biggest corporate-shill, trickle-down-economics president in history.

    He wouldn't veto a big pile of shit if it means more money.

    I would love to see the backlash of Netflix dropping Comcast or League of Legends/DotA dropping Cox.

  6. Re:I can only applaud this! on More Than 1 In 4 American Users Have Deleted Facebook, Pew Survey Finds (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    What platform would that be?

    Snapchat/Instagram with their short lived stories? I think the value of Facebook is more about nostalgia, than what's-happening-right-now. Soon the youth will appreciate that part of Facebook and most likely gravitate back to their platform. I've seen quite a few profiles that were deleted (they remain as friends but with gray profile pics) all of a sudden spark back to life over the last few months.

  7. Re:Yeah he is. on Twitter Says Trump Not Immune From Getting Kicked Off (politico.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    I think you've nailed it in one regard. (From here on, you isn't you jwh, you is general)

    "Some Republicans are already barking about how much the tech. giants Twitter, Google, and Facebook control they have over speech. Limiting a sitting republican presidents speech on their platform might be enough to push them over the edge and have congress start regulating speech on internet platform."

    Let's think about this though. Not too long ago, if a debate came up about the overall substance of these TOS's, you'd largely support them.

    They generally are against any kind of conflict or harmful actions. Be that rasicm, pedophilia, whatever.

    Now fast forward to today. These TOS's haven't really changed too much - in this regard (won't get into the other dark wells of these TOS's). However, the people who once could say they supported them, are now calling for putting a leash on them.

    Why?

    Why would a group of people who are saying they are being silenced by these TOS's want to reel them in?

    If this group had a name such as ISIS, you'd say "you violated the rules".

    However, now that it's the GOP, you are saying "we need to regulate the rules".

    Why?

    So that you feel safe to spew your hatred.

    If this doesn't reflect when you look in the mirror, you're a fool.

    We now have legal precedent that the feds can force you to engage in commerce against your will.

    The ACA mandate is (was) just that.

    Same argument as the ACA mandate, for the betterment of society, you old "get off my lawn" timers can, how did you say it, "move".

  9. Re:What could possibly go wrong? on Facebook Wants To Use Machine Learning To Make MRIs Faster · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No, this idea is dead on arrival.

    As a patient, if I discovered my doctor was using a "best guess" image, which let's face it, that is what this is, I would transfer hospitals instantly.

  11. Re:One plus 3T on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Unlocked Smartphone? (slashdot.org) · · Score: 1

    I felt the same way.

    I had a OnePlus one, then reluctantly upgraded to the 5.

    I'm glad I did. The new features are useful and it's the last iteration before they moved the fingerprint to the back in favor of a notch and full screen...

    I will not be getting another OnePlus until they remove the notch and put the fingerprint back on the front of the phone...

    I hate these stupid notches and back panel fingerprint readers, so dumb.

    All I can find is that they are some IT/Media company from Munich, Germany.

  15. Re:Paper can be "hacked" on Senate Rejects New Money For Election Security (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Paper ballots designed to be "hacked", sure. Pass a federal level standard for sensible ballot layouts, not content as to appease States Rights people, just layouts and the design/rules of checking boxes. Give the FEC power to enforce these standards.

    Politics and their games can happen to machine voting too.

    Design the system with this in mind to prevent it from happening. Something the Constitution has, arguably until recently, excelled at.

    Fuck machines, throw that money at >=$15/hr jobs where people hand count paper ballots.

    Temp work is work. Who cares if CNN/Fox Shit/etc don't have immediate counts to give audiences, go vote, watch the news about exit polls, but then go to sleep and wait a couple days for a legitimate count.

    Fuckin instant satisfaction is the true illness here.
