>> A liberal elite who cares is much better than...
Sure. Let me know when such an entity ever comes into existence, because it will definately be the first time. All Hillary ever wanted was more and more power to satisfy her own insatiable ego and a larger platform from which to enrich herself even more through conducting global-scale corruption by selling out the US to foreign islamic powers in return for "donations" to the Clinton Foundation.
> Trump being in office is beneficial to Putin and Russia.
I disagree. I think he would have much preferred Hillary, because he could have just "donated" a few $mill to the Clinton Foundation and got whatever he wanted. With Trump he has to deal with someone that actually cares about the US.
I pretty much totally agree with you but why is it all you liberals have a continuing massive blind spot to the Clintons blatant corruption? The obvious selling out to foreign agencies, usually in return for $millions in "donations" to the Clinton Foundation, was alone enough evidence for most people I know to vote Trump.
It amazes me just how abusive Microsoft can make their products and still people will put up with it, keep using them and even buy more. After Windows 10 especially, I bet even Microsoft are surprised at how far they can abuse people and still get away with it.
Come on guys, just totally ditch Windows already. You already know you should. Just do it.
Totally agree. We need a government we can trust. You can't have an honest government or even fight corruption anywhere in the system if it exists at even the highest levels, as it clearly does (on both sides).
They also badly need to investigate what all the foreign governments "donating" millions to the Clinton Foundation was actually for, and where it actually went.
Actually energy IS effectively infinite, just like water. Its just that immediately accessible/usable energy isn't, just as immediately accessible/usable clean water isn't.
>> It takes about 2,500 gallons of water to produce just a pound of beef.
So what? Water is an effectively infinite global resource and it isn't ever actually consumed (i.e. lost). It all ultimately passes through the cow/human back into the environment where it evaporates then falls as rain.
No you missed my point. Sure the internet isn't private but now you can be judged on whatever people interpret as your private thoughts behind the searches you conduct.
I can see this being VERY damaging to society as a whole.
For example, imagine the trouble that can ensue from Allo revealing what your search history is. For example imagine your discover your wife/husband has been googling lots of articles about divorce. It may actually be because they are finding ways to best help a friend through their problems, but you can imagine the stress discovering just that fact in isolation might cause in a relationship.
Its also directly encouraging a "N. Korea" type society where you can be judged on your private thoughts. For example you could be a perfectly stable person but just because you googled some stuff about the NRA, your opinions are now perceived as sufficiently alternative from the current pee-cee status quo that you might not even get through any job interview in CA.
"Coding" is literally my most hated word. Its either used by entirely clueless people or is used purposely devisively in order to devalue what a Software Engineer actually does, usually to justify paying them less.
If you think that all you actually do is coding, then either someone else is doing the programming and you're just doing the job of a data entry clerk, or you're clueless about Software Engineering and good design, and/or you are missing a whole lot of understanding about what you're actually being paid to do.
>> Well, then you know at least 3 people who are blithering idiots
I don't disagree, however please don't pretend the audiophile culture doesn't exist and also takes itself VERY seriously. Apart from anything else, there is clearly a whole industry out there getting very rich on it, real or imagined.
Really? Well done for being able to find corner case.
>Aren't vicious labels fun boys and girls? *sigh* typical leftie approach of turning the focus away from the actual argument into a race for the moral high-ground.
> No really, just fuck off, please. Well done for perfectly demonstrating the other typical leftie strategy of "its OK for me to be ridiculously rude/insulting but I'm gonna play at being seriously offended if you do"
>> The average person will have five or six careers during their lifetime.
I'm not convinced thats true of Software Engineers at least. All the "real" Software Engineers I've ever met might change companies but would never change careers.
Time and again I've seen people hired for software engineering positions that obviously are doing it for the money rather than any interest, passion or innate ability for it (a very common indicator is that their degree is in some other totally unrelated field such as sociology). Almost without exception they don't even last a year because they quickly discover that unlike most other jobs, you actually can't bluff your way round a CPU, and actually need to have real skills to write well-engineered software that works.
>> Women make up only 11 percent of the cyber security workforce
So what? Thats called FREEDOM TO CHOOSE. Everything shows that's actually by their choice, partly because women are just not mentally as suited as men are to doing jobs like programming. https://www.netnanny.com/learn...
If you're gonna get up in arms about numeric gender equality, you should be more bothered about why only 9% of nurses are men. Yeah thought not. http://www.beckershospitalrevi...
I think Obama pretty much sucked as a president but I'm totally with you on the importance of not getting involved. It turns out that Obama has the dubious record of being the president with the most days that the US was at war, than literally any other US president in history. In fact I believe (but still need to confirm) that there wasn't a single day under either of his terms when the US wasn't at war somewhere.
Contrary to the leftist propaganda that Trump is a crazy-eyed warmonger who wants to nuke everyone, his own words and more importantly actions, at least so far, show exactly the opposite, and that he wants America to stop playing World Police and just focus on internal issues.
It seems clear that a Hillary win would have meant a much higher likelihood of the US starting more wars. I mean just look at her awful war record when she was just Secretary of State.
even if it wasn't impossible to cool something to absolute zero, wouldn't it be an essentially useless thing to do because once you do anything with it, it would generate some amount of heat so immediately raise its temperature slightly anyway? (I'm imagining the passing of current on a supercooled wire or computing on a supercooled cpu)
I know. I have a ps4. I guess rather than "Disks are dead" they would acutally use something more like "installed games are now dead", but it doesn't make as catchy a headline and besides I'm sure you get the point.

> he's deliberately insulted the US's firmest foreign ally to try firm up his BS claim.
What are you referring to?
> You have given no solutions to any problems
Yes he did, at least it was blindingly obvious to me that he did: Don't continue to hand tax money to all and sundry, spend it wisely.

I totally agree, if you paid for a product, you should have total control over it and be able to use all of it.
Actually energy IS effectively infinite, just like water. Its just that immediately accessible/usable energy isn't, just as immediately accessible/usable clean water isn't.
That was my point really, its not actually a water issue as much as it is an energy issue.

Of course not, but the fact that Allo can do this indicates the existence of other avenues/approaches that can and therefore will be abused.

Ugh. Shit like that is why I won't even consider any Microsoft-based jobs.

Also scholarships and financially supportive partners/family.
its a WHOLE LOT easier for women to get enough money to allow them to study full time than it is for men.
Totally agree. However where any sane person or metric would show their change as damaging/worse, lefties always just see "improved".
