  1. US citizens. on The White House Now Has Zero Science Advisors (cbsnews.com) · · Score: -1

    The United States is more than just the 3 million illegals in California and all the leftists on the coastlines.

    It is also the citizens that have not seen opportunities return to them - as a result of the prior regime that ended 1/20/2017.

  2. That would be regular ol' US citizens. on The White House Now Has Zero Science Advisors (cbsnews.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    He represents the US, especially those marginalized by leftist policies.

  3. Good riddance. on The White House Now Has Zero Science Advisors (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 0

    They weren't science advisors - they were the clerisy for the environmentalists.

  4. Yet those 24 use diversity to do the same. on 24 Women Allege Sexual Harassment By Investors, and Another VC Gets Demoted (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    One could also argue that their diversity status is their way for getting rich off of someone else's work & creativity.

    Take away that from diversity candidates and they have no gold to dig.

  5. 24 Gold Diggers wanting to control SV. on 24 Women Allege Sexual Harassment By Investors, and Another VC Gets Demoted (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    These diversity candidates only gold diggers wishing to have the ability to do unchecked harassment - in the name of mandated diversity.

  6. They should be worried about the replacement. on Investors Who Back VC Funds Are Worried About Valley Culture (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    The proposed fixes usually are worse than the original problem - where political correctness and mandated diversity make things worse.

    Fact.

  7. Environmentalists aren't looking good on this one. on Study Claims Discarded Solar Panels Create More Toxic Waste Than Nuclear Plants (nationalreview.com) · · Score: 1

    That, and since it violates leftist & environmentalist orthodoxy, there are smears of "fake" all over.

    Perhaps coal isn't too bad after all.

  8. Not with Obsolescence Enforcement Suite (CTS). on The Life, Death, and Legacy of iPhone Jailbreaking (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    here is plenty of choice in the market still, since you have OnePlus and Google allowing you to easily unlock your phone and flash whatever rom you want

    Not if you count the restrictions arbitrarily enforced by Google through their "Compatibility" Test Suite.

  9. Re:Not sorry Al Gore, no coal apocalypse for you on There Is a Point At Which It Will Make Economical Sense To Defect From the Electrical Grid (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Then don't gasify the coal - just burn and filter it.

  10. Re:Not sorry Al Gore, no coal apocalypse for you on There Is a Point At Which It Will Make Economical Sense To Defect From the Electrical Grid (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Yet they still require more panels for the same amount of power. Never mind that you have a fragile array that would easily tip over in Midwestern winds.

  11. Speaking of the environmentalists? on There Is a Point At Which It Will Make Economical Sense To Defect From the Electrical Grid (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Never let it be said that you let a lie or two get in the way of a good story.

    Hasn't stopped the Paris Accord proponents, the Sierra Club, or the well-heeled of Aspen.

  12. With nutcases that believe the opposite. on There Is a Point At Which It Will Make Economical Sense To Defect From the Electrical Grid (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    The thread will now include posts about nutcases who still believe in green energy as a proper replacement.

  13. Not sorry Al Gore, no coal apocalypse for you. on There Is a Point At Which It Will Make Economical Sense To Defect From the Electrical Grid (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Unlike the actually-unreliable solar that requires complex processes to use its power, coal only requires them to clean it (an easy enough task without regulations designed primarily to kill coal).

    Coal provides reliable enough power to last many generations and survive large-scale disasters while being able to do so in nearly any location. Its only drawbacks are political in nature (well-heeled environmental lobbies).

  14. They're called H1b's. on Investors Who Back VC Funds Are Worried About Valley Culture (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    there's just more incompetents around who think they belong.

    They're called guest workers.

  15. They should be worried about the replacement. on Investors Who Back VC Funds Are Worried About Valley Culture (axios.com) · · Score: 0

    The proposed fixes usually are worse than the original problem - where political correctness and mandated diversity make things worse.

  16. Despite having a major USB defect? on Raspberry Pi Wins UK's Top Engineering Award (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Interesting to see them get an engineering award despite having a major defect (unfixed USB bandwidth issues) in their SoC.

  17. With nutcases that believe the opposite on There Is a Point At Which It Will Make Economical Sense To Defect From the Electrical Grid (qz.com) · · Score: 0

    The thread will now include posts about nutcases who still believe in green energy as a viable replacement.

  18. Re:Not sorry Al Gore, no coal apocalypse for you on There Is a Point At Which It Will Make Economical Sense To Defect From the Electrical Grid (qz.com) · · Score: 0

    It can be clean enough to support powering places far removed from the coal plant itself, even if the area is known for its lack of sunshine. On the other hand, solar requires a minimum level of sunlight and cooperating weather for a much lower yield.

    That might not sound good for the tree-huggers wanting to modbomb me, but it's true.

  20. 7,400 cities choosing to bankrupt themselves... on Mayors of 7,400 Cities Vow To Meet Obama's Climate Commitments (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0

    I'd rather live in a city that openly says it won't abide by such edicts. That way I know that they're not beholden to environmentalist lobbying groups, but to their constituents.

    But then that would upset the modbombers here.

  21. Circlejerk on The iPhone Turns 10 (economist.com) · · Score: 1

    This reads like a circlejerk for Apple more than it says anything like an anniversary.

  22. Except that they now are. on A New Kind of Tech Job Emphasizes Skills, Not a College Degree (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    The problem is that Colleges are not for everyone.

    Employers prove otherwise.

  23. Then explain her defense of rapefugees. on Germany Cracks Down On Illegal Speech On Social Media. (smh.com.au) · · Score: 1

    Explain why ordinary Germans cannot criticize her for fear of being smeared with the "hate crime" law, even if you're assaulted by someone in a "sexual emergency"?

  24. Enjoy being hungry and isolated. on Mayors of 7,400 Cities Vow To Meet Obama's Climate Commitments (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    The very rural population that you despise is the same rural population that feeds you and transports your goods.

    If anything can be said about them, they surround and outmatch you.
