  1. That's where the intelligent people go when the arena is just a circus of mindless idiots swimming in a culture of toxic self-destruction.

  2. Just one step away from using these to round up political dissenters and whistleblowers.

  3. Somehow the foreigners don't mind.

  4. And you're a genius, right?

    "NOx is not a greenhouse gas" The https://www.epa.gov/ghgemissio...">EPA disagrees.

    Why aren't there any distributed indexes? Seems silly to have an entire distributed distribution system without a matching index.

    Right, if you copy the joke word-for-word it's a violation. If you tell the joke in your own way, it's not. Why does this need to be so complicated?

  8. Yeah, dozens instead of hundreds.

    At least Pence isn't incompetent. Trump has no fucking idea what he's doing. It's like putting a chimp behind the wheel of a jumbo jet.

    Except destroying the habitat we live in and need for survival is jumping off a cliff, and everyone else is smart enough to see it and take appropriate measures.

  11. America Last.

    So the welders are robots and somehow that's bringing welding jobs back...

  13. Because greedy shareholders.

  14. Developing a VR system is not like writing a mergesort implementation. I know you're probably way smarter than the judges and jury involved in the case that actually saw all the evidence and heard all the testimony, but I'm guessing that you don't win $500mil on a baseless lawsuit.

    What exactly did Carmack invent?

    Do you really think they're detecting this based on single heartbeats? Doubtful. It probably collects data over weeks or months and analyzes the aggregate.

  17. Who said anything about trusting it? It's just a handy feature to have. "We have detected an unusual heartbeat rhythm. We suggest you go in for a checkup."

  18. They had their chance in the 90's to play nice but they decided to be assholes for 20 years, and now everyone hates them. There's no coming back from that, ever.

    What taxes do you think they owe the US government? They pay all the taxes that the government requires them to pay. Don't bitch at Apple, bitch at your legions of bullshit Republican representatives and their oligarchy of greed and corruption.

  20. Most of them probably own stock in Apple.

  21. Automation is going to eliminate the need to ever leave your house, so there won't be any pedestrians. The entire world will be AIs and robots, controlled by humans from their little hives.

    A bureaucracy is not necessarily a bad thing. Look at OSHA and how much better working conditions are for millions of Americans because of them.

    That's the problem with our parents' generation -- they're all about getting as much for themselves as possible and no sense of a larger society or community. This is understandable considering their parents came from the Great Depression but it's a terrible mindset to have if you want progress.

  24. Re:Odd viewpoint on Support For a Universal Basic Income Is Inching Up In Europe (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Because you can afford to find the best job available, not forced to take the first thing that comes along because you need rent money. This eliminates predatory businesses and ensures that people take jobs that they want which increases productivity and retention. It's a win across the board, unless you're one of these tools that hates "damn commies" and contributing anything to society.

    Cut the bullshit. You voted for Trump because you identify with his white nationalism and you blindly hate the left. You feel like you're losing all the entitlements and benefits you had as a white male and you blame it on women and minorities, but really it's because you got lazy and complacent and thought a GED would get you through life because you're white. Don't pretend like you would have voted for Hillary no matter what her record or qualifications. She's left and you hate the left because they give minorities things for free and care more about people and the environment than money. And if none of that is true, it means you voted for Trump only because of Hillary's failings, ignoring all the other candidates on the ballot, which proves you're an idiot. You basically elected, into the most powerful position in the entire world, a rich narcissistic sociopath with zero political experience or self-control, who has never done a single thing in his life for his country or other people. Trump doesn't care about you or this country, all he cares about is getting money.
