    If you're not with us you're against us. Duh. This is obvious so you must be misogynist AND ignorant.

    Oh god people are taking GP (me) seriously. I flopped into Poe's law, no question.

    I will be explicit: I think Bobby's foul mouth is a matter for his parents and some wageslave GM to moderate. I do not think it's a critical issue. I think lawmakers should focus on "real" oppression, the kind where those who discover you endorse different ideals and beliefs will break your legs. Or maybe just kill your family.

    Yes, I'm making the same point that I linked, but this FWC shit only gets attention because that's all our SJWs can reach from within facetweet on a couch. They're not following the people who tweet "lol just had my fish stall shot up because i'm in $religion's fishing guild, at least i'm alive, my goat is dead though #coexist"

    You're quite right about the protection extended by the 1st am. Private channels can have any ToS, or none, or close the entire company at will.

    You're an idiot parroting plebshit if you think "don't like it leave it" is a solution of any kind to broken policy, systems, management, tools, anything. That attitude leads to stagnation and decay, criticism and correction lead to progress.

    I'm also crotchety about the overused "expecting different results from the same thing." That's pretty much the definition of chance. Or maybe statistics.

    I can kill a school of toddlers with a $2 energy drink.

    The drink is a snack for when I'm done.

    People can kill each other, that's a reality and it's not going away no matter how many laws you write, books you burn, or tech you somehow uninvent. And that perpetual fact is only going to grow in scale over time.

    Call me when the proletarian can enrich uranium with pancake batter and a hammer. Or don't; I'm still going to be apathetic, because we'll still have the futile idea that it's possible to unfact that "People have access to weapons." and we'll still be wasting effort on that angle, instead of saying "It's here and not leaving; what should we do now that we live with the fact?"

    It's worth pointing out that the freedom isn't in question, you're getting charged with the consequential result. Obviously, it's illegal to endanger other people, or harass them or whatever, that is why those are blocked.

    Apparently it's limited to things in this universe though, so there's a bit of Walled Garden going on, pigeonholing you out from connecting to devices in alternate dimensions or whatever.

    Don't get me wrong, I actually enjoy that flavor in the right time and place, it's an acquired taste and you've expressed that in it's most standard form, so standard that I think you were making a funny no one is going to get.

    TFA goes into more detail (hell, history) and it's code that decides what to download in advance, affects the pre-load phase AFAIK, not live. Though a derp webmaster might still try that.

    Images are normally loaded even before the HTML, so it was hard to preempt. Had to work low-level code, petition the standards people, or whatever.

  17. Too soon? on California DMV Told Google Cars Still Need Steering Wheels · · Score: 1

    If this is an infancy thing, fine, but I don't think we need to reach Ultimate Endgame for these things to be ride'able (NOT "operable") by a child, or even unmanned for deliveries. It'll be the better choice long before we reach superduper polished and perfected.

    Mind, I still expect them to come with some tucked away form of control access, even a clunky digital-only one. There's an endless number of possible edge cases that can't be scripted.

    I assume code will mostly fail-safe into "Stop the car." for unexpected encounters, so that someone (incl remotely, ie support center or the owner) can help manually guide the derping sensors back to the clean, plainly marked road and resume automated driving, or summon a tow for really locked up/physical damage situations.

    TFA is just (1) relating generic "corporations skimp on trying for perfectly happy customers", with no data suggesting it's a more profitable model; and (2) some blog post whining about A/B data, which is really just observation of users in A/B situations then hypothesizing the effects of A/B.

    So yeah, another "FACEBOOK FORCED ME TO BE HAPPY/SAD" post. Feel free to accuse me too, reading my post surely forced you to feel X.

    I won't refute that the addition of more (moving) parts is the addition of a point of physical failure, but I should chip in with my experience using a slide-out for three years without incident. I aged out the battery, put it through standard klutz drops, probably got it wet a couple times, the camera is smeary/dusty to the point of oblivion, the OS (froyo) started acting weird and hiccuping with microSD content, and I painted the whole thing because I hated the original color (great deal on price though). No problems with the slideout or the keys, and I played the ever-loving fuck out of them using emulators and a simfile rhythm'er (Beats). OTOH, the side buttons aged, notably the volumes were getting barely responsive. Took it apart towards the end of life, no dice, guess the fittings were wearing out past tolerance.
