  1. Re:Germany halved its coal use on Climate Change Report Actually Understates Threats (thebulletin.org) · · Score: 1, Troll

    Wrong. In addition Germany increased their emissions in 2016, 2017 and will again in 2018. But don't let facts interfere with perception: https://www.ft.com/content/7f2...

    Don't feel so bad: Germany also increased their coal based power generation.

    I'm not sure. Why don't we ask the EU why their emissions went up in 2017 and will again in 2018? https://www.reuters.com/articl...

    Are they part of the "industry" and "ignoring science"?

  4. The EU increased their emissions in 2017, and is set to increase them further in 2018: https://www.reuters.com/articl...

    How realistic is it there are going to be emission reductions by 2020? Totally unrealistic.

    Boston Dynamics is failing and looking for a buyout. Thus these videos. They don't show the robot dying in 5 minutes because it is out of power.

    Corporate profits have never been higher. Why shouldn't the stock market? It tracks corporate profits, not the overall economy.

  11. Re:Why do they think that on James Murdoch In Line To Replace Musk As Tesla Chairman, Says Report [Update] (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Musk has Enron-like hate for short sellers. The CEO of Enron used to tell Enron employees that Enron was under attack "just like America's under attack by terrorism." Musk says very similar things about short sellers. It isn't a surprise made that Tweet.

  12. Gartner must be talking about shipments, not sales. Microsoft isn't selling any of that Surface stuff, which is why they keep redoing the lines every six months.

  13. The next thing you will tell me is that Microsoft doesn't run Windows on their servers.

  14. Bummer, but at that low price I can see why they wouldn't want to ship to Hawaii or Alaska.

  15. Well, he is already a board member, so apparently Tesla likes the guy. I agree with your analysis of the him though: I think he fits in quite nicely at Tesla.

    He did it to "get" the shorts. He never had funding secured like he said. You can't just tweet out whatever you want when you are a officer of a public company. Total fraud, but Musk is the Trump of the EV world so it was expected.

    Interesting. Rupert Murdoch's son is heading a company which is heavily invested by the Saudis. Sounds like a company worth investing in with those fine fellows on board.

    Exactly. It is technically possible, but there is no incentive for them to implement it. In fact, they like call volume and call centers.

    Right...there is no technical method for doing that right now. It does require a technical solution.

    "Companies don't have 1:1 physical lines to extensions, and the numbers assigned to the physical lines usually don't route since they are never actually used in the company phone system."

    Again, not my problem. Those companies need to figure it out. There is no security for the protocol, it is very simple. If you allow spoofing for one "special case" then everyone else will use it too.

  23. Re:How does this work? Why is this possible? on State Attorneys Urge FCC To Combat Neighborhood Spoofing (biglawbusiness.com) · · Score: 1

    It is possible because a business wants to be able to call you, but not reveal the true number, because they don't want callbacks. It is technically possible because the underlying protocol is very simple and doesn't authenticate anything.

    Everyone can come up with "reasons" to spoof numbers. Too bad for them. They need to adapt because the current system doesn't work.

    Or just get rid of spoofing. What valid reason is there to spoof a number? The ONLY reason is so the person can't call you back directly and has to go to a central answering service. Companies love that, but that is their problem.
