  1. Re:So basically... on VR Devs Pull Support For Oculus Rift Until Palmer Luckey Steps Down (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    Yes, I made a note of these devs and I will never buy one of their products.

    Big deal, I'm never using a VR product of any kind. In fact, I'm thinking about poking one of my eyes out.

    This isn't what you get with the Citizens United decision. This is what you get when money can buy hate.

    Money is protected speech. Including hate speech. That's Citizens United for you, buddy. And, for the record, Hillary was the original opponent of Citizens United.

    I can see you thinking you're smarter that Nate Silver. But do you really think you're smarter than every bookie in Vegas?

    When it comes to free speech, I'd still rather them be in charge than just about anyone else.

    Including protection for corporate "donations"? It's certainly better off in someone else's hands, but it's got to be the right someone else.

    That *will* be an improvement. Ask Seth Rogen how taunting North Korea worked out for him.

    Don't hold your breath waiting for distros to move to Python 3. Linux depends on too many Python 2 scripts for it to happen in my lifetime.

    Python 2 is still maintained while developers port code to Python 3.

    That's one way to put it. Another way to put it would be:

    Python 2 is still maintained because developers aren't porting their code to Python 3.

    It's 9 years later, at some point Python is going to have to give up on Python 3 and move on to a Python 4 that is backwards compatible with Python 2.

    Believe it or not, US courts have already ruled that an usolicited finger in the anus is not a crime.

  16. Nah, you just leave a bunch of them lying around in a public area. Eventually someone's going to pick one up and plug it in.

  17. HTTPS is fine. Just use a modern browser and make sure the sites you're using are pinning their certificates. If you're paranoidly worried, remove all the trusted certs from your OS before your start and only trust the individual website's after you've checked it's the real cert from another machine.

    That sounds like a lot of work just to check my email.

    electing Trump will mean we will not go to war with Russia

    On the downside, we *will* be going to war with Rosie O'donnell

  19. I looked at HackerRank once, there problems were easy, but so tedious that I just left. Someone in China is using the HackerRank score to evaluate applicants and that's the only reason anyone they're finishing. If Google started requiring high HackerRank scores, USA would take the "gold" in a heartbeat. But it would still be meaningless.

    If it were any other candidate in any political party right now, they would have been on trail right now.

    If it were Trump, he would just blame someone else and it would go away immediately. In fact, I'd be surprised if he can go a month into his first term without tweeting something classified. He just gets away with shit.

    If it were Gary Johnson or Jill Stein? Well, let's face it, they're never going to have access to anything classified so we don't need to worry about it.
