  1. I am kind of glad that they did this on Alphabet's Waymo Sues Uber For Allegedly Stealing Self-Driving Secrets (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm not advocating stealing from an employer.. but I really want a self driving car. So hurry up and steal it so my next Acura can drive me home from a bar.

  2. Re:Retaliatory measures based on no evidence. on US Announces Response To Russian Election Hacking [Update] (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    I have to say kudos for bringing up an actual issue. And a good point. I don't really agree with it after having a HSA with my small business and it still costing me 15K out of pocket to have my son born via C-section (pre-Obamacare). I would argue that we should start to turn the american heathcare system into a socialized system. The elasticity of demand doesn't occur with life threatening care, and you can't tell an ambulance to take you to a cheaper hospital. I don't think lives should be a profit center. I also would have loved to hear more of this kind of discussion pre-election instead of more email issues.

    I honestly can't tell if this is tongue-in-cheek or one of the dumbest things I've ever read.

  4. The RNC was hacked as well. on US Announces Response To Russian Election Hacking [Update] (reuters.com) · · Score: 0

    There has been strong evidence that the RNC was hacked as well but nothing was released from their hacks. If you think there was no ugly infighting about who got the nomination in the RNC, well... you aren't... very.... smart... People saying there was no manipulation of the media are putting blinders on because their guy won. If Hillary had won under the same circumstances these same circumstances they are the same people calling for instant impeachment. We are trying to cope with some sobering facts. There was outside manipulation of our election. We have to make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen in the future, not whine about how it didn't matter or the press should be doing it.

  5. Re: Breaking news on 8,000 New US Jobs? Trump Takes Credit For Sprint, Startup Decisions (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    I think invading the middle east was done by someone else.

  6. Re:A leader who defuses the situation? on Russia Says it Was in Touch With Trump Campaign During Election (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I agree with the concept here, but calling Trump calm or reassuring is... well... Look he's not. At the same time if we want to save money and NOT be the world police we need to step down our military size not up. It's silly to tell our allies in Nato to F-off and then build up our military.

  7. Re:Before you act like this is so nefarious... on Russia Says it Was in Touch With Trump Campaign During Election (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    It is nefarious because of all the evidence that Russian state agents behind all the Clinton email leaks.

  8. Re:A different position on Russia Says it Was in Touch With Trump Campaign During Election (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    This is foolishly untrue and not posted with a source. Here's the result of googling "Clinton foundation spending". It's based on the fact that ~20% of the funds of the Clinton foundation go to direct grants, 60-70% are for funded projects like building warehouses for farmers, job training, purchasing medication etc. and 10-20% is overhead. http://www.politifact.com/trut...

  9. Re:How do they avoid extortion? on Alibaba Posts $1 Billion in Sales in 5 Minutes on Singles' Day (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Same as amazon. Have the redundancy and machine power to cope with it. They might not even be able to tell the difference at peak times.
