  1. Re:Hydrocarbon exports on Canada Plans To Phase Out Coal-Powered Electricity By 2030 (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1
  2. Hydrocarbon exports on Canada Plans To Phase Out Coal-Powered Electricity By 2030 (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Do they count hydrocarbon exports in this? If I'm not burning any myself, but I'm selling them to others, is that any better?

  3. Trump wants to keep smart immigrants. on Steve Bannon Suggests Having Too Many Asian Tech CEOs Undermines 'Civic Society' (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    So, what you're saying is that Trump wants to keep smart immigrants in the country?

  4. Also, I assume that, if it breaks, the car company is liable for any pedestrians hit (or if it isn't load enough, or the wrong tone, etc.).

  5. Innovation on How President Trump Could Destroy Net Neutrality (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I'd much rather see innovation instead of government regulation. I didn't vote for President Trump. However, on this issue, I hope we can be a bit more flexible in what ISPs and various information providers can do.

  6. No bailouts... on General Motors To Lay Off 2,000 Workers at Two US Plants (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing no bailouts this time...

  7. Venezuela II

  8. Only if it is SMT (Seattle Mean Time).

  9. International Space Station on Leaked NASA Paper Suggests The 'Impossible' EM Drive Really Does Work (sciencealert.com) · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it just be cheaper to pop one of these out of an Internal Space Station window and see if it works?

    It is made illegal to communicate your idea to the person you intend to communicate it with.

    Uber can't force drivers (contractors) to accept fares. Otherwise, they'd be employees.

  12. "...marked relationships between socio-economic deprivation and [poor] broadband availability in cities"

    Face, meet palm.

  13. We don't know how many miles have been driven autonomously.

    "The company said Autopilot-enabled cars had covered 130 million miles without a fatality, compared to a national average of one fatality every 94 million miles."

    And, remember, we are talking about a glorified cruise control that simply has to stay within the lines.
    We definitely don't have the data Teslas is claiming that we have.

  14. There does seem to be some logic in that argument. However, the question is about this particular feature. Has it killed more people by existing (or never having existed). We don't actually have any autonomous offerings out there, so there isn't really anything to dissuade.

  15. Red headline (with no responses) during the debate...

  16. Classified documents. on Donald Trump Running Insecure Email Servers (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    He better get those servers secured. We wouldn't want to leak any classified documents. Hey, wait a minute... :/

  17. Inside abortion clinics?

  18. Trespassing to get the story. on Journalists Face Jail Time After Reporting on North Dakota Pipeline Protest (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    https://www.rcfp.org/browse-me...

    I don't think being a journalist allows you to trespass. However, if there were to be such an exemption, I would expect that it would only be given if the journalist were truly just a neutral observe.

  19. Climate change simulations?

  20. I think the republicans are more blameworthy here. They actually chose their candidate.

  21. Being a somewhat sceptical individual, this really doesn't help my view on environmentalists in general. It seems that what governments and organizations tend to latch onto these bad ideas, applying magical thinking to fill in the gaps. I would much rather see well reasoned approaches to making our lives better. Any of those around (the more non-political the better)?

  22. Re:Fox News? Stopped reading there. on FBI Agreed To Destroy Laptops of Clinton Aides With Immunity Deal, Sources Say (foxnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Cool, so this didn't happen?

  23. I think central new agencies are a product of the left. Don't expect one with a Trump presidency.

  24. I don't have a cable subscription. So, no.

  25. I don't think Carnegie meant that you should do stupid things with your money. There are probably an enormous number of things that $3 billion can be better spent on rather than as noise in an already-well-funded area.
