  1. Who knows on 'Yes, Pluto Is a Planet' (sfgate.com) · · Score: 1

    ...they amended their convoluted definition with the vindictive and linguistically paradoxical statement that "a dwarf planet is not a planet."

    Maybe they were trying to uncover A.I. spies?

    I mean this is pretty ridiculous. They say "a dwarf planet is not a planet" and yet they affirm it is a planet by saying so. I mean, the first part does but then they say it's not one. That's the same as trying to convice me that TRUE equals FALSE while I perfaafkly knwaaop tiiss'stt ialllogiccccal+_(%$#@NO CARRIER

  2. That's what you worry about? on Google Executive Addresses Horrifying Reaction To Uncanny AI Tech (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    If you're in panic mode because of Duplex instead of Alexa and all the other "A.I. assistants", your priorities are not in the right order.

  3. You're telling us there's no homes being built outside the bay area?

  4. Re:This isn't good on California Becomes First State To Mandate Solar on New Homes (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    The environmental cost of producing solar cells virtually negates the green benefits for many years.

    I keep reading these kinds of comments, but there's more than one type of solar cells on the market these days. Are they really all produced with the same raw components?

  5. Re: Also, now with ads on Firefox Moves Browsers Into Post-Password Future With WebAuthn Tech (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    What you said is illogical. You can have advertising about something before that something exists, but you cannot have advertising on something before that something exists.

    You know about email aliases, right?

  7. What is this, 2011?

  8. Such insane pricing would give rise to 'generic' unauthorized versions. You take a flight to some shady country, don't ask too many questions, and you get a pirated version of the $50k medication for $20.

  10. Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal are not part of Canada, at least if you look at house prices.

  11. Re:The price of free phone calls on Robocalls, and Their Scams, Are Surging (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I wish that we had some similar cost per phone call in the US because robocalls have effectively rendered my home and cell phone useless for incoming calls which I at this point I just assume are robocalls and telemarketers.

    So why do you continue paying for this useless service?

  12. Missed the Telegram ICO? on Telegram's Billion-Dollar ICO Has Become a Mess (amazon.com) · · Score: 1

    Never fear! I'm willing to part with 10K of my very own Dogecoins and I'm selling them for only $10 each! Buy now before their value goes above $100*!

    * may or may not happen within the next 1000 years.

  13. I wonder how many will get the reference.

  14. I thought the future would be that your highly automated factory in Louisville could 3D-print all the parts they need?

  15. The exact same question can be said for planes. Aren't boats, trains and cars fast enough for you?

  16. Or it could be both things happening. Young Canadian talent is moving to the USA and older USAmerican talent is moving to Canada.

  17. Re:DRAM makers sued for antitrust violation on Apple's Eddy Cue To Be Deposed In Qualcomm Patent Battle (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    But supply and demand is the basis of the free market! Are you anti-American?

    This is a story about a man named Harold Crick.
    And his wristwatch.

  19. Recycling centers received dozens of computers every day. If you know what to look for, you can probably get a decent mid-range gaming PC for under $100.

  20. Re:Jeez, $20 bucks for a skin? on Free To Play, Expensive To Love: 'Fortnite' Changes Video Game Business (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    You son wants to play with his friends. If he waits a year before buying a game, his friends will have moved to a new one months ago.

    Big publishers make fast food.
    Small indie teams make good food.

    In my days, nobody had time to feel happy or sad because we were too busy running away from raptors.

  23. Instead of using "?images" I would use "?notabackdoor".

  24. Indeed, I was about to post something funny about "Everyone's loan is now considered paid in full!" or something.
