  1. Re: What's the goal of the union? on More Than 60% of Tech Workers Feel They're Underpaid (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, right... sure...

    If that's the kind of mental gymnastics you need to go through to feel good about yourself, then by all means...

  2. Re: share price update on Tesla Model 3 Outselling Small, Midsize Luxury Cars In US (forbes.com) · · Score: 1

    Fair market rate for a mature TSLA simply based on Ford is about $200. But if TSLA is more profitable than Ford (which absolutely seems to be the case) then the fair market value could be much higher. So the plan is to benefit in the short term from a short squeeze which could send the price above $500. And if the squeeze doesn't happen, the plan is to hold for future growth and cheaper taxes.

  3. If $15k/year kills your ambition, you weren't going to accomplish anything anyway...

  4. Re: War of the corporate cancers is BAD for secur on Citing 'Economic Efficiency,' Epic Says Fortnite's Upcoming Android App Won't Hit Google Play Store (theverge.com) · · Score: 0

    Because now I have to verify TLS certs, owners, UTF8 charactors, credit card processor, etc. for Epic. Malware authors already have dozens of copies of malicious Fortnite software in the wild. The Play Store allows me to easily verify the author. Epic's does not.

    If Fortnite scale is so large, then they should be able to negotiate a better deal with Google.

  6. Play Store manages security updates and holds my payment info. Not going to give up on those features for a game, so they lose a customer here.

  7. Re: Obligatory reminder on The NES Classic Outsold the PS4, Xbox One, and Switch In June (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Every emulator system I've used has had a menu system that is slow and painful to use.

  8. Re: 60 Dollar Novelty Item on The NES Classic Outsold the PS4, Xbox One, and Switch In June (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    NES hit 62 million in 2004.

    80 million? Yawn...

    Wake me up when the PS4 comes anywhere near the 150 million DS Nintendo sold.

    Could also be seen as anti-competitive.

  11. You're nuts if you think people are going to start packing a lunch if they typically buy lunch every day.

  12. Companies with cafeterias are companies with mostly salary workers. They do not get paid for their time, but for their productivity. Which is why cafeterias are such a nice perk for both sides. Worker gets half hour more to work around lunch, and leaves fifteen minutes earlier than otherwise. Win/win.

  13. When you give a homeless person a $1000 fine, they just refuse to pay so they can go live in lockup for a while.

  14. That only really works at the state or national level. Rich people will just ship their kids off to the next city where their friends all got together and built an elite academy for the super wealthy.

  15. You mean communities that illegally round up their homeless people and ship them off to CA have less of a homeless problem than CA, where they follow the law? I'm shocked!

  16. So true.

    If your community has trash on the street, and you don't have a trash can on every corner, that's the government's fault.

    If your community has human feces on the street, and you don't have a public bathroom on every corner, that's the government's fault, too.

  17. The state might have a beef with a person shitting on the street, but there's nothing that says your local government has some time limit on finding the resources to clean up the shit.

  18. Universal basic income isn't socialist. It's capitalist and was proposed by people like Hayak and Friedman, two guy generally seen as libertarians and who consistently argue against socialism.

    The irony is when we finally get UBI, it will be the progressive left that takes the credit rather than the libertarians who actually spent the intellectual capital and years of animosity from neo-liberals for their ideas.

  19. Ok, horse shit is certainly better than dog or human shit, but if you think it has no smell, you've spent too much of your life around horse shit.

  20. Bush not only didn't see it and didn't avoid it, he took additional actions, such as military adventurism and tax cuts which exacerbated the problem.

  21. No true capitalist fallacy mixed with no true socialist fallacy. Good job, dude!

  22. You, sir, are a fucking moron. Your myopic outlook has fallen to the level of degeneracy.

  23. The unemployment rate is bullshit. The workforce participation rate is what's relevant, and that's near a 40-year low.

  24. But I thought... on Apple May Include Support For a Second SIM Card in New iPhones (engadget.com) · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Expensive phones don't have dual SIMs because people who travel and need dual SIMs just buy a secondary phone.

    Traveling internationally, isn't it better to just use a burner anyway?

    Not sure of the target demo...

  25. Re: Am I the only one? on Senate Democrat Floats First Serious Proposals For Regulating Big Tech (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    In 2012, a single data broker called Datacoup was spending $8/month per social media account. That's just one company. No, profit sharing won't be a living, but it's not some trivial amount, seeing as people left Netflix when the price increased by $2/month.
