  1. Re:China has less trade leverage over US than thou on China Threatens To Cut Sales of iPhones and US Cars if 'Naive' Trump Pursues Trade War (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    But the best schools are already heavily oversubscribed so they wont be left wanting for students if China stops sending theirs.

  2. Re:Idiotic sound bites on China Threatens To Cut Sales of iPhones and US Cars if 'Naive' Trump Pursues Trade War (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Agreed. I'm guessing that the average Trump voter has never heard of Comparative Advantage.

  3. China has less trade leverage over US than thought on China Threatens To Cut Sales of iPhones and US Cars if 'Naive' Trump Pursues Trade War (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    From the aritlce:

    "A batch of Boeing orders will be replaced by Airbus. US auto and iPhone sales in China will suffer a setback, and US soybean and maize imports will be halted. China can also limit the number of Chinese students studying in the US."

    If limiting the number of students studying in the US is on their threat list then the list must represent the entirety of their leverage against the USA because that's a pretty insignificant threat to include.

  4. In that case I'll use a bluetooth keyboard instead on Smartphone WiFi Signals Can Leak Your Keystrokes, Passwords, and PINs (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    That should be more secure then. Oh wait...

  5. Why would a negative experience interacting online be any different in how it affects us vs a negative experience interacting offline? Have we all be interacting with 'bots online instead of real people?

  7. I'm afraid to click on any of this article's links on FBI Operated 23 Tor-Hidden Child Porn Sites, Deployed Malware From Them (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    For fear that I'll unwittingly be taken to a child porn site and then have my IP address logged for immediate arrest.

  8. It's like Night of the Living Dead on BlackBerry's Keyboard is Coming Back for One Last Dance (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Lifeless gadget zombies from the Blackberry grave keep rising up just to be shot dead in the head again.

  9. Why would AT&T offer a discount? on AT&T Will Offer a Lower-Quality Video Option But Without a Discount (fortune.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Not sure why the mention of no discount is even relevant. You're still using AT&T's data, at the same rate you agreed to in your contract. You'd just be using less of it while watching video, meaning you'd have more data available for other usage.

  10. False flag attack on Russian Banks Floored by Withering DDoS Attacks (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Look at us, we've been hacked just like we hacked America, err, I mean just how America was hacked.

  11. Just exclude? How about inclusion targeting? on Facebook To Stop Ads that Target, Exclude Races (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    The article says Facebook will "...no longer allow advertisers to exclude specific racial and ethnic groups when placing ads related to housing, credit or employment."

    What about advertisers that inclusively target specific racial and ethnic groups? For example, money transfer services to Mexican-Americans?

  12. Lobbyist expect Trump to approve H1B visa increase on Trump Picks Top Climate Skeptic To Lead EPA Transition (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Unrelated to this article but thought others would find this interesting. It's only one lobbyist's opinion but...

    "The chamber already knows there are certain items Mr. Trump has said he will not support, like the current versions of trade deals with Asia or comprehensive changes in the nationâ(TM)s immigration laws, which the chamber pushed during Mr. Obamaâ(TM)s tenure. But there are aspects of each of these plans, like increasing the number of visas for highly skilled foreign workers, that Mr. Josten said he expects Mr. Trump to endorse."

  13. Re:I somehow think Trump wont stop any mergers on Trump Victory Clouds Outlook for Time Warner-AT&T, Other Mergers (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't label him a big-business Republican - he's a big-business Democrat, at least he was most of his life prior to deciding that the best path to victory was running as a Republican. This is mostly why he received withering criticism from the Republican establishment.

  14. Re:I somehow think Trump wont stop any mergers on Trump Victory Clouds Outlook for Time Warner-AT&T, Other Mergers (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    But we've long had treasury secretaries who have this same level of experience and they're the ones who normally steer the policy toward the economy anyway.

  15. I somehow think Trump wont stop any mergers on Trump Victory Clouds Outlook for Time Warner-AT&T, Other Mergers (reuters.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Rhetoric wins elections but actions speak louder than words. Trump spent his entire career having to skirt around regulations to get things done so I highly doubt he's going to do anything that gets in the way of business doing whatever it wants to do, including performing anti-competitive mergers.

    LOL, if you believe Trump is going to do anything about H1B's then I have a reality-show reject for you to elect as president.

  17. Sorry, I forgot that everything is rigged. I knew I was forgetting something when I left the house this morning.

  18. According to https://www.statista.com/topics/1001/google/, Google had 247 million unique US visitors in the month of November 2015.

  19. I would have expected the average woman to not vote for him because he's a raving lunatic rather than the other negatives you listed.

  20. I guess those women wanted change that they could really "feel".

    It's ironic that my comments were modded down as flamebait, considering the country is about to go down in flames.

    Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfield were very smart people as well. Trouble is they were evil too.

  24. Do you mean the interview in which Obama was asked whether a US citizen who lives in a household that has illegal aliens should worry about whether casting their vote might trigger an INS action on the illegals? The same interview that was then contorted by Drudge Report and another mouth breathers who have no listening comprehension?

    That should almost cover the miles back and forth to the dealership for the higher-than-industry average service issues and recalls.
