  1. Nah, I am sure if you they practice really, really, really hard anyone can make it to the NBA. :) I do have more money as Peter Thiel, but it is all in altcoins.

  2. Um no. Why do people with genes from West Africa (but who live all over the world in different cultures) make up the top 95% of the top sprint times? It isn't because they grew up sprinting. Same thing applies to basketball (or any other sport that requires athleticism). There are guys in the NBA that didn't start playing basketball until they were 18!

  3. It is "rote" not "wrote", you racist ignoramus.

  4. Yes. Most definitely. Is that a surprise?

  5. We already know why. Fast twitch muscle. But being good at working at startups that spy on the American people is equally good for all races.

    120,000 years ago women weren't allowed to make studies like this. Progress!

    Oh yeah. Forgot about that. And as a bonus you can pay more when Google or Plex decide they need more revenue that year, or lose service when Google gets bored of it.

    Instead of paying once, I can pay every month! I love the Cloud!

  9. The "3" stands for how many units they expect to sell.

  10. Ubers cars are NOT self-driving. In fact, they all have TWO DRIVERS in them. I doubt we will see true self-driving cars (with no Google/Uber engineers behind the wheel in case something goes wrong) in 40 years.

    Well since shooting chemical rockets into LEO is a new 2016 thing we should forgive them for this.

  13. Looks like all those links were written by the same PR firm.

  14. These stories are always submitted by "Anonymous" claiming obliquely that the Echo is a "sleeper hit". There are a lot of "research" companies that claim that Amazon has sold a bunch too. All lies.
    Notice these two links ALSO claim a "sleeper hit" (exact words):

    http://www.usatoday.com/story/...
    https://www.theguardian.com/te...

    I call PR bullshit here. I doubt they have sold many Echos at all.

    Uh, FTL travel is not possible. Ever. This is known already. Because, you know, physics. What you are describing is pure fantasy.

    Thats a dumb "point". The point is that using TOR marks you as "suspicious". That is completely different to whatever your rant is about.

    Exactly. Nanking is another. Honor my ass. Pearl Harbor was a sneak attack. They have no honor.

    I sincerely doubt Apple sees Samsung as a competitor. Basically everyone in Apples target demographic has an iPhone at this point.

    The Japanese are not anything like Chinese. However the concept of "Japanese honor" is a myth perpetuated by too many movies. The Japanese raped and pillaged parts of Asia for centuries. Modern events like Pearl Harbor dispel that myth.

    Traditional taxi drivers don't pay for the "commercial use" of public roadways either. Unless you mean that they pay off the local politicians to maintain their hold on the market?
