I still suffer from a verizon email address from three ISP's ago. I now host my own....email is too important to trust gmail OR Yahoo OR anyone else.
You host your own as in you have a physical machine in your house, or you have something like an AWS SES?
Most ISPs here block tcp25 because home machines are too easily compromised for spam bots. This means running 'your own' email server still relies on some other service that can equally disconnect you at an arbitrary point in time.
So I have a 100% record in business, does that make me more qualified?
I have also never sexually assaulted anyone, paid more tax, and if you like I can say that I'll bomb the hell out of our enemies, make the country great again, and save our jobs, all without explaining how any of that will actually happen.
Is this all that is required to convince you that I'll make a great president? It doesn't seem to be a very rigorous measure...
That's the kind of bold, inspired, no-nonsense leadership this country needs to cut through the corruption and change Washington.
This is the typical response of someone who has no idea how deomcratic politics works.
What you think you want is called a dictatorship. Be careful what you wish for....
If you're running for office and can't fill a high school gymnasium, you've got serious problems. If you can fill an aircraft hanger with standing room only, and have to turn people away. You're saying what people want to hear, or your ideas are resonating with their own beliefs.
And this sums up the problems with the American political system. Politics is not entertainment nor should be treated as such. In my country our national leader can walk down the street or take a train in relative peace and safety. The job description is not to be interesting or entertaining, it is about creation and maintenance of good public policy.
Hillary for all her ills, at least knows what a policy is.
That strange. Cause I don't see anything in Trump's word that suggests he assaulted anyone.
That's because you are stupid. If his own running mate and his wife can't defend his words, then you must be a special kind of idiot to not see how despicable they are.
Sure he's a sexist scumbag but he's no worse than any of his predecessors or his opponent,
Um what? He is bragging about sexual assault. I know of know other presidential candidate who has ever stooped that low. Lots of people have consensual affairs, but that is a lot different from what he was gloating about.
He is unfit for office, and senior Republicans agree. Even his own running mate can't defend him, so don't pretend this is a media or Hillary thing. For most normal people this is behaviour is completely unacceptable.
At least Trump bragging about trying to bang some married woman isn't going to gut any labor laws, make him beholden to the corporatocracy, or cost any of us commoners our jobs.
This sums up the stupidity of the average Trump voter. If the guy can't even control his own hands when he smells pussy, what chance to you think he'll have at avoiding a potential WW3?
Given the choice of the knave or the fool, at least the knave is competent.
First past the post can only lead to a two party system.
Plenty of other democracies have FPP and have competitive minor parties. The difference with the US is some bizarre media rules about who can participate in public debates. The media is an important piece of the democratic puzzle, but without the chance for minor parties to compete on the same public stage, they'll always be kept in the dark.
-a pompous horndog asshole who MIGHT actually stand up to Wall Street
Please tell me you aren't that stupid? Trump has spent his entire life shitting on the little guy to look after himself, why on earth would you think anything is different now?
As far as I can tell, the general public has responded with "yeah - so what?" about the comments. Everyone seems to recognize that men talk dirty about women to each other, and women do the same about men. It makes all the media pundits who claim "makes me sick to my stomach" seem laughably disingenuous.
Really? Senior Republican's are deserting Trump, and even his running mate will no longer defend him. Are these people also mainstream media? Every single person I know has made comments about how revolting and unacceptable this is. Bragging about sexual assault is not even acceptable at frat boy level.
You may caught in the Trump bubble, but for the majority of us outside of it, he will not gain any more support. Peak Trump arrived this weekend, The inevitable self-immolation has happened and the campaign will not recover. Good riddance.
Well now it's to the point where incumbent Republican senators need to save their own asses, so the time has come to cut him loose.
Any Republican still endorsing this clown should be removed from office. We know Trump won't change, and most of his hillbilly voters won't either. But party leaders still have time to recover some shred of dignity in the party if they unite against him.
.
The mainstream media is already releasing every nasty thing on Trump they can dig up. Someone has to release nasty stuff on Hillary too, since it sure as shit isn't going to come from CNN.
I keep hearing this phrase parroted about 'mainstream media' but what does that actually mean? Isn't Fox News the highest rating News in America? Therefore isn't Fox "the mainstream media"? I'm pretty sure they aren't sympathising with Hillary.
If you think CNN is biased then fair enough, call CNN biased. But when you say mainstream media is just sounds like kooky tin foil hat stuff. It's like saying everyone else is crazy. If it seems like everyone else is crazy, then maybe, just maybe it's you who is the crazy one?
As was the previous SoS Colin Powell, and probably every politician ever in the history of politics. Secure email as a concept has only really been a thing in the last few years (yes I'm well aware of the history of the Internet and encryption), which is why it's not really being pursued by anyone outside the crazy nutters on the fringe.
As for some of the others: I don't own a car, instead using a bicycle or the city bus. And I don't pay for TV, though my roommate does because she's addicted to audiovisually presented 24-hour political news and opinion.
And that's your choice. As is most other who choose to own a TV because they believe the cost/benefit is worth it.
Banks shouldn't suddenly take away services that they had previously provided...
Of course they can. I know it's cool to hate banks, but financial services are a business. And if they want to be leading edge and only offer services that are current technology then why is that a problem? If you want to start a bank that only offers 1980's technology then do that and see how it works out.
Just like I no longer need a horse and cart, I no longer need a checking account. That is my choice and I choose to use banking service that align with my needs.
It's not possible to navigate by map exclusively, so the car will have to have some sort of environmental sensors (preferably able to see large trucks), and will stop when the road ends.
Or not, as you alluded to with the truck reference. Let's just hope the sun's not too bright that day...
All the way back in the original Quake there was a really nice learning AI written in quake C...But they learned the map. And they learned your moves. And within a few rounds you'd be lucky to stay alive long. And finally they would learn enough to get you every time. They'd know which direction you were going to dodge before you did. And they kept track of every resource in the game and all of the respawn times, so they'd deny you any ammo or health by timing their movements perfectly to collect all spawns instantly.
It was very cool.
I used to play quite A_LOT of Quake and Quake 2 and 3 and don't recall this. Bots have always been a split between extremely useless or extremely impossible (ie they know where you are and head-shot you before they've seen you). Even now in the latest games the bots are easily identifiable for the same reasons, either too crap or impossibly good.
Always thought it would be possible to build system with camera and servos to drive WASD keys and a mouse, that could be programmed for say the Dust 2 map in CSGO. Fire fights are generally in the same places on the map, so once it learns the background imagery it just has to shoot at anything different.
It sounds pointless, but CSGO has a real world economy so this could be used for real financial gain.
In the US the median salary is $51k and these phones cost $600
I was in New Zealand recently, their median salary is $45k NZD with the top iPhone selling for $1800NZD and they are selling.
When it comes to shiny, never underestimate how much someone is willing to pay.

No Democrats here bud....

never heard of john f kennedy?
Yes, did he ever brag about sexual assault?
You're certainly able to name any of those other countries, yes?
Canada has 5 different parties in the house of Reps and 3 in the Senate. Australia has 7 and 12 respectively.
If you want to say UK...
I didn't, but yes they too have a bunch of minor parties so my point still stands.
That's the kind of bold, inspired, no-nonsense leadership this country needs to cut through the corruption and change Washington.

Lowering the 100,000+ deaths per year in the world due to humans driving is the actual goal.
Really? If saving lives is the primary goal, then I think there's a few larger targets you could choose...
All the way back in the original Quake there was a really nice learning AI written in quake C...But they learned the map. And they learned your moves. And within a few rounds you'd be lucky to stay alive long. And finally they would learn enough to get you every time. They'd know which direction you were going to dodge before you did.

Updates to new major Android versions will be ceased just 24 months after the release. Google is out of their minds.
Yep. They have no clue on how retailing works and will learn the hard way that as the market ignores them.
