  1. Re:Not that large on Elon Musk Promises World's Biggest Lithium Ion Battery To Australia (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    So... it's batteries all the way down?

  2. Re:Government Subsidy on Elon Musk Promises World's Biggest Lithium Ion Battery To Australia (cnn.com) · · Score: 0

    So did Toyota and GM. But Tesla is still a start-up when compared to them.

  3. 420 Employees? on SoundCloud Lays Off Nearly Half Its Staff, Closes Two Offices (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    Divide that number by ten and then it will make sense.

  4. You can afford a bridge?

    Posted from under a tree.

  5. Re:Also from the point of bingeing at our own spee on 'In the Knowledge Economy, We Need a Netflix of Education' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    For me, it's not much about the speed but the way schools worked in 1980~1990. Just learn and learn and learn, then try to apply what you just learned. I'm more of a learn-as-I-go guy so school was just a horrible learning experience.

  6. Re:TED Talks... on 'In the Knowledge Economy, We Need a Netflix of Education' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I was about to write about TED talks too. It took a lot of posts before someone finally mentioned them.

    Never underestimate Godzilla.

    They could use peltier thermoelectric plates. All they need to do is put the generated heat on one side and make the other side cold with a flow of wat... I mean with an air fa... never mind.

  9. Re:Japan doesn't care on Japan's Population Falls At Fastest Rate Since 1968 · · Score: 1

    Watch videos on YouTube about renting a (minuscule) apartment in Japan. It's insane.

  10. Re:One way ticket to permanent POVERTY on Mark Zuckerberg Doubles Down On Universal Basic Income, Calls It a 'Bipartisan Issue' (cnbc.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And you think the CEOs of internet-related companies really deserve their multi-million dollar pay checks? There's dozens of companies with a supposed value calculated in million of dollars but don't have a single product apart from pushing ads on their users.

    If you think UBI is bad, I wonder what you must think of these companies.

  11. What makes you think we don't have monthly data caps in Canada? Not only do we have caps, they're even worst! How would you feel about paying $10 per GB over your limit?

  12. Bill Clinton is also a sexophone player.

    Yeah those people are so poor, they're basically fucked.

  14. And yet our choices are either macOS which should be a lot better than it is right now (me and AC are talking about stability and reliability here, not how many freakin' features the OS has), Microsoft Windows 10 Spying Edition or Linux with no proper commercial software support (ex: Photoshop, etc).

  15. macOS is what makes a Mac. Their hardware is either the same as a PC or years behind yet still sold at insane prices.

    A Hackintosh running macOS is a Mac, a real made-by-Apple computer running Windows/Linux is not a Mac anymore.

  16. Re:Could the names be more confusing? on Raspberry Pi's Smaller, Cheaper Rival: NanoPi Neo Plus2 Weighs in at $25 (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm waiting for the NanoPi Neo Plus 2 Mega v3 Mk5 Super.

  17. When people say "Macs suck" it's because they don't have the most powerful hardware components yet cost more than a PC. They keep a blind eye to the software side of the Mac.

    But when it's time to talk about the Raspberry Pi and its competitors, hardware performance isn't everything and software support is more important than hardware speed, specifications or price.

  18. My point of view on 'Call For a Ban On Child Sex Robots' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    As long as they don't ban cat-girls... just make them look "18~21 years old".

  19. Encoding movies with RealMedia is fun, but it's even more fun using it to post to Sla[BUFFERING]

    You're right, I don't even what the "I-90 express lanes" are. That's also why my joke didn't work.

  21. Re:And what's Apple's stance? on Hulu Joins Netflix and Amazon In Promoting Royalty-free Video Codec AV1 (fiercecable.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, it's not like I like Apple's 4th-generation Apple TV anyway. Stupid "touch interface everywhere!" mentality. When my 3rd-generation Apple TV isn't compatible with Netflix anymore, I'll switch to something else.

    Which box is the best for Netflix? Take note that I'm in Canada, so I don't care about Amazon/Hulu/whatever USA-only-streaming-services.

    "I won't be able to drive my bike in 2030? That's hanoi-ing."

  23. As shown in this example, it makes even less sense because not only are you depending on Amazon and/or eBay, you're also depending on Photobucket. And since Amazon and eBay can host your images for you, that's just laziness and a bad decision to upload your photos to a third-party website.

    And I can't wait for you to be banned from the I-90 express lanes. Non-electric cars are destroying the Earth.

    Horrible idea. Who wants to sit around waiting for coal shoveling?!

    Nuclear is the future. Just replace these coal engines with clean nuclear reactors and be done with it.
