Apple could do it, Google not so much. Which, of the several hundred (at least), Android models is this controller going to support? If it's all of them, then the controller is going to need to adapt to every size, shape, and unconscionably out of date Android version out there.
I guess they could just support Pixel phones, but that's not exactly a large market.
Where did lgw state he was going to be laughing as the world turns to shit? I'll wait.
Oh, right, it's the part where he said "[Trump] actually starts doing stuff" and because you're certain "actually doing stuff" means "turning everything to shit", it must mean everyone thinks that. But of course!
So you go right ahead and believe Trump is Cheeto Hitler, we'll be waiting for something to you know, actually happen before deciding whether we support that action or not.
Almost. It's equalizing poverty. You see, people in America have been living it up for far too long, and it's time to bring them down a peg or twenty, somewhere around the per capita of say, Brazil.
But it's fine, just think of all the poor foreigners who have better lives while you're waiting in a bread line. It's for the good of humanity! Be a good global citizen now, don't ask questions.
What? If anything the paranoia is spreading. Apparently you haven't seen all the left-leaning conspiritard bullshit everywhere. You know, "Donald Trump is going to put Muslims into internment camps", "Donald Trump is basically Hitler", "Donald Trump is a Russian agent", etc, etc.
The left likes to scoff at the uneducated idiots on the right with their fake news and conspiracy theories, but a growing number of the "educated liberal elite" are succumbing to the same paranoid thinking as the rednecks they love to hate. You can go right ahead and think your precious college education prevents you from that kind of thinking, but it doesn't. Humans of all sorts take to paranoia and conspiracy theories like a duck to water, it's endemic to human thought.
So you don't think Global Warming is a Chinese hoax, good for you! Now go right on talking about how the Republicans are evil incarnate and are working to start the American version of the Taliban, how they all (to a man!) hate black people and minorities of all sorts (apparently even those Republicans who are minorities themselves, they do exist), and of course that perennial favorite, the Patriarchy: the vast conspiracy of straight white men who have worked tirelessly to keep women and minorities wriggling in the dirt since the dawn of history.
I suppose when "reality has a left-wing bias" it's not conspiracy theories anymore, is that it?
I, too, want Donald Trump to pick who is in charge of the health system. What could possibly go wrong? And just think about the endless arguments about whether the single payer should cover things like birth control or abortions. Really though, isn't it just time for the government to openly declare us subjects, and quit pussy footing around pretending it doesn't own us, mind, body, and soul?
The key point that a lot of universal health care proponents miss is that the European versions were largely instituted before there existed a highly developed medical industry, and so evolved along with it. We, in the US, have the dubious honor of trying to institute universal health care in an already extremely well developed medical industry. Expecting "It's OK guys, Uncle Sam is paying the bills" to magically fix the problems in the system is unimaginably naive.
That's not even to mention people have little expectation that the government could manage to put together a system that wasn't a complete clusterfuck. Imagine we had a socialized health care system right now. Now realize that Donald Trump & co. are soon to be in charge of your healthcare. Exactly.
It's every bit as stupid to point to successful European systems (which have largely existed for a long time and have strong institutional underpinnings) as proof the US could do it easily too, as it is to point to the same European democracies as proof that any country can become a democracy after regime change. All they have to do is BELIEVE! Citizen buy-in and strong institutions aren't required at all, haha, that's silly!
Is it possible for a universal health care system to be built in the US? Of course. Will such an endeavor be turned to shit by the machinations of a few million interested parties, lobbyists, and politicians? Almost certainly.
The point is, we have to undergo disastrous Socialist experiment after disastrous Socialist experiment until we finally get it right! I suppose "right" would be something on the order of not destroying the economy and/or not murdering a significant portion of the populace.
And before anyone trots out northern Europe as paragons of socialism, consider that socialists themselves disdain the blended systems of Europe, calling them (as usual) "not Real Socialism", which is even more batshit crazy than European "I Can't Believe It's Not Socialism".
Oh but there I go again, maddened by my alienation, and regurgitating capitalist commercial speech as if it were my own. Woe is me!
Too bad for America that Trump has been playing 8 dimensional hyper-Politics while everyone else was just playing politics. This means that not only is he the president of this reality, he's also president of every other possible America in the multiverse. In some of these versions of America, there exist less Constitutional protections, and it is with these alternate Americas that he will implement his evil plans.
How can you stop an inter-dimensional Dictator like Trump? It's simple: you can't. Trump is worse than Hitler, if only because Hitler was the Fuhrer of one lousy dimension. Trump is the Fuhrer of all of them!
What do you need schematics for a MacBook for though? It made sense back in the days when everything was written in ASM and ran on the bare metal, but now? How is a schematic going to make your latest hipster iOS app any better?
We're entering the "Nothing is true, everything is permitted" stage of history. It's gonna be a fuckin' riot.
Personally, I can't wait for CG to hit that sweet spot where one can make an absolutely convincing replica of anyone and make it do or say anything. Because who needs an objective reality anyway?
Then again, AI replacing the human thought process is going to be pretty sweet too. IT'S NOT MY FAULT, THE COMPUTER TOLD ME TO DO IT!!!
Oh boy, oh boy, we're living in the future folks. Hurrah!
You weren't paying attention. THEY. BUILT. BOATS. And as we all know, boats are for cows and cows go moo, so they're clearly cows. That build boats. For cows. Boats.
I don't know, did Trump brag about specific pussies he grabbed, or was it all the braggadocio of a rich asshole showing off for another rich asshole? I thought being full of shit was kinda Trump's thing. Or is he only credible when saying things which can be used against him?
Sorry, at this point "yellow journalism" is the technical term, and "fake news" is the colloquialism. No one says "yellow journalism", hell, the term yellow barely holds the connotation of cowardice anymore. "Yellow journalism" sounds like a CIA orchestrated popular uprising in some Middle Eastern country.

Just give them a few years, I'm sure we'll be automating way judges and lawyers before too long.
Because who doesn't want the law to be enforced 100% pedantically with no regard for nuance? I know I do!
There are paying Reddit users?
That's what buying gold is.

Neither were the people who had their posts edited, they were just your basic /r/the_donald "cuck-a-doodle-doo" shitposters.
No, but they gave us Hitler and Communism, so... yay?

'Member when the "Slashdot Effect" was a thing?
Oh how the mighty have fallen. All thanks to DICE and Slashdot Beta. ... Actually, that shitstorm was a lot of fun. FUCK BETA!!!
You weren't paying attention. THEY. BUILT. BOATS. And as we all know, boats are for cows and cows go moo, so they're clearly cows. That build boats. For cows. Boats.
It's gonna be pretty hard for Whipslash to outdo DICE in the mismanagement department.
