  1. They should stop producing oil and natural gas first. Buying a Tesla with money you made selling oil does nothing for the globe.

  2. What are they trying to do? Buying Teslas with their oil money??? What a joke.

  3. Norway has a lot of money due to exporting fossil fuels like oil and natural gas. Good job Norway: you are causing global warming.

  4. Re:Oceans getting colder? on It's So Cold Outside That Sharks Are Actually Freezing to Death (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Surely you mean "climate change" not "global warming". It is confusing because some things get warmer and some get colder. So if something gets warmer you can say "CLIMATE CHANGE". And if something gets colder you can say "CLIMATE CHANGE".

    What loopholes? Corporations write the tax rules. This is all intentional. Why do you think corporations donate to political campaigns?

    Reading the writeup I would say this guy really knows his Mac internals. Apple is getting better at security though: the last root exploit only required you to type "root" and no password. And the one before that required a single line of script to get root.

    Amazingly, you can get products shipped to the US from other countries! Go to Aliexpress and get a $35 Android smartphone delivered to your door. There are tons to choose from. Even more amazing is you can go to exotic stores in the US like "Best Buy" and get $50 unlocked phones! I know. Amazing.

    This is typical of modern "greens". It is like Apple, claiming to be eco-friendly but pushing people to throw away their phones every year by keeping people from repairing them, or having non replaceable batteries. But then they put up a few solar panels at their HQ and claim to be green.

  16. "Complex problem" on Call For Tech Giants To Face Taxes Over Extremist Content (bbc.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The only reason that the big tech companies says it is a "complex problem" is because they don't want to hire people to review the massive amounts of drivel that gets spewed out on their website. Of course, someone will say "it is impossible" to review it all because there is "so much content", but that is baloney. You might need to hire hundreds of thousands of people to do it, but they are making billions so they could do it.

    You can never run out of the company. You can just dilute the existing investors. Uber is still growing fast as more and more people use it. I wouldn't invest, but there are plenty of VC that would.

    Um, the point is the current amount of "cash on hand" means nothing when you can go out and raise more of it at the drop of the hat. No one is "suddenly call in" Ubers debt. They would quickly lose all their money. All of these companies might go out of business, but not in 2018.

    For sure, but to claim that Uber is going to go under because they are running out of "cash on hand" is silly. They can always raise cash. Even Theranos raised money recently, and they are a fraud. Money is extremely cheap and available right now, and the rich are only getting richer.

    You miss the nuances of the characters and dialogue. Dialogue such as this:

    The latest Spiderman movie is in the top 50 highest grossing movies OF ALL TIME. In less than one year. There is a reason they make them. 2017 was a good year, despite this article. It is the second highest revenue year for the industry OF ALL TIME.

    I guess that could be it, but are the current superhero movies anything like the superhero comic books from the 1960s-1970s? It seems to me they would be destroying your nostalgia.
