  1. Re: Google can not take over NYC on Google's Parent Company Alphabet Is Buying Chelsea Market For $2 Billion (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    So you're agreeing with me? Not sure what your response means.

  2. Re:Gotta break eggs to make an Omelet. on Tesla Burns Through $2 Billion In 2017 (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Let me get this straight.

    Go ahead.

    Tesla is booking significant revenue from cars they haven't yet built and likely won't build for years and THEY ARE STILL LOSING MONEY?

    Damn. You want to get it straight, we tried to let you get it straight, but then in the very next thing you write you get it wrong. Deposits are not revenue. They don't affect the profit/loss in any way.

    When you buy property do you only buy something less than your net worth? Of course not. Google has good credit, and the land itself would be collateral. So they could do it if they wanted to. (though why would they?)

  4. Re:Who Owns You on Reddit Bans 'Deepfakes' AI Porn Communities (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    But the motive of the ban is likely fear of being sued by the victims of identity theft and abuse.

    What does that have to do with what I wrote?

  5. Re:Who Owns You on Reddit Bans 'Deepfakes' AI Porn Communities (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    then these so called deep fakes are free speech and can't be blacklisted.

    Reddit is not the government, They can ban them if they want.

  6. Re:What am I missing? on What Apple's Battery Health 'Fix' Looks Like (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    how did it do it before

    Like any phone, if the voltage dropped the phone shut down. So what they did instead is reduce the maximum draw in order to maintain the necessary voltage. It made the phones more useful, not less, despite what you'll read in these comments.

  7. Re:Waymo will win on What We Learned From Day 1 of the Uber and Alphabet Trial (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    because they have waymo' dollars and lawyers than Uber does.

    But this case is waymo important to uber than it is to waymo. If uber loses it's a huge setback, if waymo loses nothing changes.

    it's a shame it's now so difficult to find posts from Carl Lydick. They're good for countless hours of entertainment and enlightenment.

    some nerd is now a tranny and that matters to you? maybe reevaluate ur life

    What might you might need to reconsider is what matters most to you in this topic.

    Then get raped by the IRS at 40% capital gains tax for all sales

    Only if you gain. Selling for the purchase price does not create a gain. And not 40% of course, but that's not the point.

  12. This guy is a writer and he thinks a cache of money is pronounced cash-ay?

    get a job and move to a city asshole

    Are you one of the city assholes they should move to?

  14. I think the issue was more with simply not telling anybody about the change, leading to frustration by a genuinely invisible foe.

    That's what it should be, but for people to learn that they'd have to actually read past the headlines of "Apple intentionally slowing your old phone".

  15. People without helmets die quicker, and those with helmets rack up larger bills.

    For me personally, the one time I ever needed it my helmet saved me both money and a lot of pain and facial scaring. I'm glad this wasn't my face.

  16. I have a friend with a LG phone listed above that got stuck in a bootloop recently. Sucks to be him! Because he's not in the existing class action, so he gets jack shit.

    This does not preclude him from taking action on his own. Considering that LG is already paying on this, he probably has a pretty good chance at some remuneration.

  17. Re:"Refurbished" iPhones are exceptionally good on Apple Begins Selling Refurbished iPhone 7 and 7 Plus Models (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    That being said,... 10% saving? Just 10? Good lord that's stingy. Cmon 15/20% for goodness sakes

    I'm glad they don't, as that directly affects both resale value and the general perception of the overall quality.

  18. there'll always be a market for piston-engined/internal combustion-engined vehicles. They're so much fun to drive.

    It won't be terribly long before human drivers are relegated to closed tracks. They're simply too dangerous and unreliable.

  19. these same people did not do the research to actually determine if it's true

    These are the same people who blindly forward all those "tell everybody you know" emails that a 30 second search debunks.

    There should be some lee-way like a 5 year prison sentence. An eye for an eye makes the world blind.

    If you're aiming for growth/redemption then five years in prison is about the worst thing you could do.

    Every time I've taken an iphone into an apple store and requested battery service, they have come up with an excuse not to do it.

    When was the last time you did this? Before or after the $29 announcement? And how many times is "every time"?
