  1. Re:Thanks to Trump? Obviously! on Ford: We're Canceling $1.6 Billion Mexico Facility, Investing In Electric and US Plant (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    Every large corporation considers the possible outcomes of a presidential election and make contingency plans based upon them. In this case it was very clear:

    Hillary wins -> jobs go to Mexico
    Trump wins -> jobs stay in the US

  2. Re:But, Linus Tovalds on The Linux Foundation Offers 50% Discounts On Training (linuxfoundation.org) · · Score: 2

    The self-paced e-learning classes are on sale. I'm not saying they are bad classes just that you can get similar classes at a hundred different places. The classes that involve the Linux kernel are not so easily found and they are not on sale.

  3. Re:But, Linus Tovalds on The Linux Foundation Offers 50% Discounts On Training (linuxfoundation.org) · · Score: 1

    They won't put the good courses on kernel development on sale. They are offering garden variety intro/admin courses that you can find anywhere online much cheaper and sticking the Linux foundation name on them.

  4. Clap on, clap off on James Clapper, US Director of National Intelligence, Has Resigned (thehill.com) · · Score: 2

    At least we know he won't leave the lights on.

  5. Well I won't feel safe on 86-Year Old Grandma Accused of Pirating a Zombie Game (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 2

    Until she is behind bars.

  6. The problem isn't autonomous cars on Elon Musk: Negative Media Coverage of Autonomous Vehicles Could be 'Killing people' (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    The problem is autonomous cars made by Tesla. If he really wants them to gain acceptance then he should stop producing them. Let the companies that spend their capital on engineers instead of lobbyists create the vehicles.

  7. FTTH for everybody is uneconomical on NYC Threatens To Sue Verizon Over FiOS Shortfalls (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    The reason Google would never have agreed to terms like this. It only pays if you can get a significant number of people in an area to sign up.

  8. "What's wrong with aging tech?" The documentation isn't written in Hindi.

  9. That would explain why all the nuclear disaster occur in the West. We don't maintain our infrastructure as well as the wise Easterners.

  10. Why don't more men take advantage of this? on Apple Makes Slight Progress On Diversity While Its Rivals Are Making Practically None (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    You can simply tell Apple that you identify as a woman (Caitlan Jenner) and this will give you an advantage in the hiring process. A mediocre woman is apparently more desirable to them than a good man.

  11. Re:Hillary for more H1Bs on 145 Tech Leaders Say 'Trump Would Be A Disaster For Innovation' (cnn.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Simple, the government redefines high-speed Internet as 56Kbps. Problem solved.

  12. Great move for Comcast on Comcast Will Let Netflix Onto Its X1 Platform · · Score: 1

    They will in all likelihood be getting a commission on each user that signs up to use the application through the set top. They can stream the Netflix content over the cable TV network thereby relieving some of the congestion there. The best part for them is it gives them leverage over the content providers. If networks want to pull their stations off the Comcast system then subscribers can access the content through Netflix and watch it on the same big screen TV they are used to.
