  3. Next google staff meeting goes like... on Apple Hires Google's AI Chief (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    So where is John Gia?...John Gianna?....oh well John Giannotgonnaworkhereanymoreanyway

  4. the humidity as the saying goes. Looked like the avg humidity in Ahvaz yesterday was 22%. The southeast and midwest routinely see 80-90% this time of year. That's when it gets uncomfortable.

  5. I think we have that already - it's called a service or daemon

  6. I have Charter Spectrum in an Ex-Ex-uburb of St Louis and I think its gone down once in the entire time Ive been a subscriber. Of course all im looking for is a pipe to pass bits.

  7. Re:Capacity or Cost? on E-Commerce's Biggest Obstacle May Be Slow Postal Services (thestreet.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It's amazing the USPS is as good as it is, all things considered.

    Absolutely, everyone like to pick on the USPS but if you were to say to someone who didn't know what the USPS was that one could stick a piece of paper in a envelope and legibly (or not) write an address on it and stick it in a nondescript looking box outside your home with only a little red flag to alert someone of your intentions and have it picked up and delivered anywhere in the U.S. usually within a couple of days and at the most a week to another nondescript box which may (or may not) have said legible address on it for all of $.50 they would call you crazy.

  8. Restrictions on Support For a Universal Basic Income Is Inching Up In Europe (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Are there going to be any restrictions on what the money can be spent on? (use technology to restrict purchases on the UBI card - think WIC program on steroids)

    Because without any, this is a colossal waste of money.

    Way, way too many people currently spend what little money they either earn outright or is given to them via social programs on booze, cigs, lottery tickets etc. crap that no person of poor financial means should be buying. These folks have no financial fortitude and is mostly the reason they are where they are to begin with.

    Do this with a taxpayer funded UBI program, these people will be no better off than before except the taxpayer will be holding a massive bill in his hands.

    Next then you'll tell me is CNN says Hillary Clinton will be the next POTUS.

  11. Re:Reasonable and boring. on Trump Trades in Android Phone For Secret Service-Approved Device (cnet.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    I really tire of hearing he got elected without the popular vote. Why? Because it's absolutely meaningless and the only thing the left keeps hanging there hat on.

    The rules of the game are to win the most electoral votes, the end. Harping on the popular vote is like a losing football team harping on the fact that they had more yards total offense or a higher TOP (time of possession). Doesn't matter-the rules say the team with the most points wins. If the rules say gain the most yards, the strategy of the teams would totally change.

    BUT BUT the people's votes should matter...If the rules of the US Presidential election say gather the most votes, then ENTIRE CAMPAIGN STRATEGIES CHANGE COMPLETELY. Who know's what would of happened then. Noone can say for sure. But I can tell you this, the popular vote total is not the same by any means. Maybe Hillary wins with a bigger margin, who knows...but for this vote we'll never know.

    But as it stands the popular vote is just a meaningless statistic, yes most of the time the team with the most total yards and greater TOP wins the game, but not always and not this year. Hillary was a stat padding fantasy (pun intended) football player and meainwhile Trump won the Lombardi Trophy.

  12. UBI - better be regulated to the extreme on Elon Musk Predicts Automation Will Lead To A Universal Basic Income (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    THE UBI portion of you income would have to be extremely highly regulated on what the UBI is spent on by the average person.

    Otherwise what is to prevent Joe Schmoe from blowing his 24K UBI on non necessities such as smokes, beer, lottery tickets, pizza rolls, etc?

    Then Joe is still out the basic necessities of life like shelter, clothing and sustainable food and no better off than he was before now with the difference being the Mr Hard Worker's tax money is paying for Joe to be a leech.

    Unless the earth suffers a 2012 type event the UK is not leaving Europe anytime soon, being a continent and all. The European Union is a entirely different entity, and is not the same politically or geographically as Europe the continent.

    Do we have to bring race into everything. Payday loans prey on poor people, period end of story. People of both color and means dont fall prey to payday loans schemes, in fact i'd say its racist to suggest they do.

  20. What is so fucking special about this generation that it is constantly being pandered to? It seems not a single person/entity can say know to it.

    And we wonder why they feel entitled, we make 'em so.

  21. I MIGHT have be able to go along with this given that we properly vet everyone for said disability...then they throw this gem in there -->

    "The borrowers identified by the Department won't have to go through the typical application process for receiving a disability discharge, which requires sending in documented proof of their disability. Instead, the borrower will simply have to sign and return the completed application enclosed in the letter."

    WHAT THE FLYING FUCK!

    How in the world is this good public policy?!?!? Your going to forgive possibly 10s if not 100's of thousands of dollars in debt, that every single one of these people entered into an agreement voluntarily with the govt and signed off on without coercion, and your going to do it with out a vetting process at all, just on their word, UNBELIEVABLE!

  22. Does Rowlett, Tx not have street signs? Google maps is but a back story, up front is the incompentence of the crew and/or company procedures...Checking with a "neighbor" is their backup?

  23. Still makes the UI cluttered. If I do it the apple way I have to wade thru a bunch a stuff that hasn't been used in a long while to get to the one I want. Please give us a close all.
