  1. Re:Nobody knows yet on London To Tech Startups: Please Don't Mind the Brexit Gap (cnet.com) · · Score: 0

    EU is going to want to punish UK severely as a warning to others to not leave.

    Is the 4th Reich's Politburo mostly motivated by emotion or avarice? I suspect it's the latter, and sticking it to the UK as a punishment would an egregiously stupid thing to do, since Britain is one of their largest markets.

    This leaves no room for doubt.

    So what?

    When Comey laid out all. of. the. elements. necessary for conviction of thousands of counts of espionage act violations, and then recommended not prosecuting someone that he knows bloody well is guilty, it was made perfectly clear that this administration won't prosecute a Clinton.

    The only way she ever sees justice is if she loses the election, and I wouldn't count on Trump to do the right thing, either.

    The difference between tubes and transistors only surfaces when you're overdriving them. Transistors clip, tubes go non-linear. Buy an amp designed for the power you need, and this will never be an issue.

    I would expect an autopilot car to win in NASCAR. It's a far simpler navigation problem than driving on public roads, and winning drivers on the track are those who are most able to stay right at the very limits of the car's performance without blowing tires or engines.

    I give it about two years or thereabouts. Once there's enough data (say, a couple million hours of operation) to demonstrate that they're safer than most human drivers, the enabling legislation will follow. There's no technical argument against it, just knee-jerking emotion like you're showing here.
