    Oh there will be cars. The first electric car was built in 1834. Eventually the Model 3 will be out too, even though it will be inferior and more expensive to the already released Chevy Bolt. But he isn't going to be able to launch 4,425 satellites, or go to Mars. It doesn't add up in terms of dollars or engineering effort required.

  2. "unless you don't want to let the users do anything"

    All Google wants is for you to consume content so they can get you to view ads. They don't care about empowering users.

  3. What Google means is "only allow Google Approved" software to run on your locked down device. That is what "whitelisting" means. Meanwhile Android is the biggest malware laden piece of shit on the planet when it gets deployed to real devices and Googles Ad network is a vector for drive by exploits. So fuck you Google.

    There won't be any satellites. Musk is a con artist with a hype machine going, desperately trying to keep his empire from falling.

  5. The British used anti-ship missiles in Oman? Please tell us a story about how they used anti-ship missiles against rubber boats.

  6. So British naval ships use anti-ship missiles to reduce piracy? Guess what, we don't have infinite money for your toys anymore. Use the ones you have. Grow up.

  7. Little military man. I am sure you can live without anti-ship missiles for two years. The Chinese aren't gonna attack until 2025.

  8. OK, Mr. Pedantic. I am talking about anti-ship missiles fired from a ship. Fuckwit. There will be a two year gap for helicopters. No one needs anti-ship missiles in 2017.

  9. Er, I did. I just said helicopters will have them in 2020 (two year gap). My point is they haven't used them in almost 40 years on ships.

  10. I'm telling you what the definition of "civic society" is, moron.

  11. Uh, I did mention that his numbers are wrong. The guy is an idiot too. I just defined what "civic society" meant. But hey, why not froth at the mouth some more? Ignorant fools are so easily triggered.

  12. Seems silly to me to be thankful for that, but I am glad you are happy I guess?

    I'm not sure white kids listening to gangster rap is what is meant by "a melting pot". But I guess you are a shallow person.

  14. This is about warships, not any other platform. Helicopters will have them in 2020. My point is they haven't used them in almost 40 years on ships.

  15. Possible. But we are talking anti-ship missles fired from a ship targeting a ship. Maybe they did it in the Falklands, but that was a long time ago.

  16. From ships against ships? Doubtful.

  17. Is this seriously a story? You don't even need a device to plug in to do this. Why would there need to be a browser open in the background? What the fuck is "Motherboard"? Fucking hipsters.

    Nice anecdote, but diversity and "melting" are two separate concepts. For example Americas schools are more segregated than they have ever been. In any city there are large sections where whites mostly live, blacks mostly live, Asians mostly live. It is even more segregated with first generation immigrants. They tend to cluster together with other immigrants from their country/region, which makes sense. The idea of a melting pot is just public school lipservice.

  19. The problem is that people get outraged easily and stupidly led by whomever is outraged the most.

  20. His implication is that they are "from Asia" and thus carry their local values and culture. I'm not defending him, so don't froth at the mouth at me. I'm just explaining the terms.

    Not true. I have lived in NYC and in Washington DC and although they are "diverse", there is no melting. In general, things are segregated, especially with recent immigrants.

  22. I don't know. Maybe you should ask him. If 66-75% of CEOs are Asian (his numbers), but only 33% of the local population is Asian (your numbers) then he might have a point. But 66-75% of CEOs in Silicon Valley aren't Asian.

  23. Not CIVIL society. CIVIC society. Fuck, people are so stupid here.

    That is what they teach in public school, but it isn't accurate. America is not really a melting pot and never has been. Makes a nice bedtime story though.

    Where did he say majority of whites? Missed that part.
