ESPN is perfectly willing to hammer their sports network into the ground if it means they can keep injecting far-left politics into the national discussion. It's far more important than reporting baseball scores.
If Chinese have invested in Tesla you can be sure it's not with the goal of making money from an investment. They are going to get their people in the company and then those people are going to rob Tesla blind of technology. Then Chinese firms will "invent" the technology and Chinese people will cheer for the home team.
They have to get Chrome's memory footprint down to the smallest possible quantity. Why? So it can run flawlessly on shitty underpowered Indian cell phones. True fact. You want Chrome to have features you like and can run on your powerful iPhone? Racist.
I use these features. However I probably use them once a week, at most. I'm sure the spyware, I'm sorry, telemetry people at Google notice this and say, "well we need to eliminate this feature." Just because I use it once a week doesn't mean it's useless. BUT evidently Google has this big fetish for removing every feature to make their products run on shitty Indian underpowered cell phones, so it's all got to go.
"Until is is available to everyone, it is available to noone" has long been the rallying cry of making things accessible. It's not like Berkeley doesn't have the cash, either. They do. They just don't want to spend it here so they're trying to make the disabled people look like assholes for clearly adhering to a slogan that has reaped enormous benefits in the past.
I still don't see how this makes the works accessible to the disabled. "Unless it is available to everybody, it is available to nobody" has long been a rallying cry to get things accessible. Now suddenly it's not correct any more?
Criticizing Sharia is 'hate speech,' Georgetown students say
"My critique of these speakers is not an effort to silence free speech," but only that "these speakers are not exercising free speech, they are exercising hate speech, a speech of the kind that no organization, especially at Georgetown, should endorse or give a platform to."
This is a part of the Dunning-Krueger Effect: "high-ability individuals may underestimate their relative competence and may erroneously assume that tasks which are easy for them are also easy for others."
In this case "high-ability" doesn't mean talented, it just means someone who is familiar with "cosplay conventions" and it doesn't occur to her to explain it. She's fully familiar with the idea and can't imagine a world in which people don't know what a cosplay convention is. The sad thing is these folks think that they're explaining things to regular people, but regular people's lives are completely alien to them so they have no frame of reference.
The deep state does indeed exist. You didn't see the intelligence agencies come straight out and say they're not going to share intelligence with him? Illegally leaking tapped phone conversations to harm him? Jeez. What more does it take?
We are ruled not by Congress, and not even by the President, but by the federal administrative state. This tapeworm-like state-within-a-state is theoretically subordinate to the President (in most cases) and always supposedly exists to execute the will of Congress. In reality it is a monoculture of permanently ensconced leftist bureaucrats who act at their own initiative to advance their ideological goals, except when they work with a President to more aggressively advance their ideological goals. I refuse to call bureaucrats "civil servants," since mostly they serve nobody but themselves and their ideology, and those few who do try to serve Americans as a whole, or are part of legitimate federal functions such as the VA, are structurally part of a system that denies the servant role.
"What Washington Gets Wrong," and itâ(TM)s two scholars from Johns Hopkins University who do a massive survey of senior unelected executives in government, basically the deep state, and asks them a bunch of questions. And as the authors describe the deep state has contemptuous attitudes towards the average American.
"They think theyâ(TM)re far less educated than they actually are," he continued. "They think they are far more dependent than they actually are. Theyâ(TM)re arrogant, they believe, and say in the surveys if the American people want one thing, and they think itâ(TM)s wrong, theyâ(TM)re going to push something else. Thereâ(TM)s a massive disconnect, and the deep state is real, and itâ(TM)s a threat to our republic form of government."
Look, this is just posturing on your part so you can try to make me feel bad. Ever since the election you have made it quite well known JUST HOW MUCH you hate us. I mean, it's really ugly. Tim Goodman said it best, you utterly despise everything we stand for and don't want anything to do with any of us. I'm never going to convince you of anything, after all how do you have a conversation with IRREDEEMABLE DEPLORABLES?
In this election, if you support Donald Trump, you are "the others." I have zero interest in knowing, interacting with, tolerating or otherwise sharing my time or bits of my life with anyone who supports Trump. I don't say that defiantly or righteously, just as fact. Don't follow me on social media. Don't talk to me at parties, at school functions, as a neighbor or even as a friend. Your decision says all I need to know about you. You can't unspin it or rationalize it to me.
This is one point on which I think you need to take a more nuanced and open-minded view.
Donald Trump is not part of the traditional Rulers' Cabal that we sometimes call the Deep State. He's relatively rich, he shares many of their beliefs in global finance-industrial capitalism, he has reflexive fondness for American exceptionalism and use of force, etc., but he's not "one of them."
He has never been to, let alone completed, Rulers' Finishing School, he doesn't employ the polished Doublespeak and Newspeak of the 21st century (dialects that would make Orwell jealous), he doesn't respect the conventions of Polite Power Society and he's an egomaniac with a long history of going rogue and not giving a shit what anyone thinks about it.
I'm pretty certain that the absolutely unprecedented machinations and Theatre of the Desperately Absurd that we are seeing are prompted by the Owners' genuine concern that Trump won't play by "The Rules" and will, consequently, fuck with the settled Order of Things in their snug little Worldwide Junta.
The utterly wild and crazy shit you see happening would not be required, or even considered, if They weren't seriously worried.
Do you understand what anybody in their right mind could have seen in Trump? No! But maybe that's why you lost.
These are what are referred to as RINOs - Republicans In Name Only. They have far more in common with their Democrat buddies in Congress than the American people. As we saw in the recent election, they are vitriolically angry that a populist hijacked their party and is taking action that favors the people instead of themselves. Rest easy though, the Deep State is readying itself for a massive attack and will shortly restore things to normalcy. Then we will all look back at this crazy time and have a good laugh.
Mobile speed to sites inside China is spectacular. Outside China, it's like using a shitty hotel Wi-Fi. 50k/s and lots of packet loss. You need to reload a lot and you get a lot of half finished pages. It's not blocking the sites, that's different. It's just making it annoying to connect to non blocked sites.
It has long been a motto of the left (like Berkeley) that "unless it is available to everyone, it is available to no-one." This didn't start yesterday. Oh, and Berkeley has plenty of money. They just don't care.
Marginalized people cannot be represented by members of the majority. They need their own representatives in politics. It's foolish to expect whites to represent the interests of the Afro-American community, for example.
I find myself pointing out the contradictory fact that Canadians, by their own accounting, are humble, marvelously generous, modest, community-spirited, self-effacing and well-mannered. Indeed, they will tell you so at the drop of a hat. Canadians are peacekeepers, not warmongers, they say. But best of all? Best of all, Canadians â" according to themselves â" never brag.
Am I the only one who finds this humorous? I mean, in Canada, flag-waving competes with hockey as the national sport...while, ironically, the Americans I know donâ(TM)t go around waving the red, white and blue. It isnâ(TM)t done. Patriotism isnâ(TM)t fashionable.
Heh, long ago I worked for a company that, as a part of its proprietary product, ran open mail relays. That's right! Open relays. It was "necessary" to make the software work correctly. The morons who built the custom solution knew nothing and I was a junior sysadmin back then so I didn't know to correct them. Needless to say we pumped out 100,000 spam emails a day compared to about 4,000 legitimate messages.
One day a new manager put his foot down and turned off the open relay. He was nearly fired. He was removed as my supervisor and put in charge of "special projects". Eventually we got listed on Spamhaus or RBL or one of those, which was very gratifying to report to management. Nothing was ever done though, it would have required rearchitecting the system. The open relay was still going strong when I left.
15 friggin minutes? She'd have been long dead by then. Also it doesn't really help the reputation of home security systems for false alarms. Good going, idiot lady and slow ass cops.
Nah, it's because the rich don't want to pay Americans what they're worth. They'd rather import illegals to work for $5/hour cash and ignore the labor laws, safety laws, overtime laws, etc. It's pure selfishness as well as disgust at the vile deplorable American people. It ain't ordinary folks who benefit from illegals.
On the way? America was already globally shunned. We were the rogue superpower. Take a look at these articles to see who rated America as the greatest threat.

Wrong. Sexual harassment is an UNWANTED advance. If the advance is welcome, it's not sexual harassment.
