  1. Re:That's disgusting on Tesla Temporarily Boosts Battery Capacity For Hurricane Irma (sfgate.com) · · Score: 2

    No, they just have to make a profit on all the battery packs sold, not on each individual one.

  2. Re:So now you accept that the predictions were rig on Hurricane Irma Reaches 185 MPH, Trailing Only Allen As Strongest Atlantic Storm On Record (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    You're condensing all climatology into a couple of unsourced predictions, and drawing a conclusion. How is anyone supposed to take that seriously?

    Then why don't smaller states in the US function as well? This "but we so biiig" argument is banal and only ensures to further the problems.

    If you look at countries which have adopted true net neutrality, where national infrastructure is lawfully available to anyone wishing to use it, you will find better speeds and lower prices than the US. That seems to indicate your entire argument is not only wrong, but at odds with what you actually want out of this. Which is weird. I wonder what happened to you to make you support something by your own admission is against your interests? Ignorance is a tempting answer, but it can't be the only factor...

  6. Re:Should Work on China Plans 600 MPH Train To Rival Elon Musk's Hyperloop (shanghaiist.com) · · Score: 1

    Hint: One failed project doesn't mean every project from the same country won't work. We know this by looking at failures in every country which still produces things of worth. I know it's all fun and cheeky to make a joke like that, but it doesn't really reflect too well on your logical prowess.

  7. Re:But will people want to ride it? on China Plans 600 MPH Train To Rival Elon Musk's Hyperloop (shanghaiist.com) · · Score: 1

    Can you rephrase that for people who don't like to lump 1.5 billion people together as if that makes any sense?

    He only criticised the Nazis when he was forced to do so by the people around him. He's also bent over backward to not put off far-right supporters. He had actual white supremacists as advisers. If he's not a supporter of theirs, he's doing his best impression of them.

    And you can keep your whataboutism - we're discussing Trump here, not whatever phantoms you wish to deflect criticism of "your guy".

    The thing with comparisons is they are comparisons, not direct equations. When someone points out the language and approach of someone is similar to those used by someone else, they are not saying these people are exactly the same in every way. By your logic it's impossible to draw attention to fascistic bent because until they are actually self-proclaimed fascists with their own flag and identity, you will dismiss any and all criticisms.

    It gets modded down because it's drenched in fear and ignorance. You sound scared.

    This is a technology demonstrator. You're comparing it to a mature product. That's where your confusion lies.

  13. Re:(Human) Nature on East Africa Leads The World In Drone Delivery (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    The charity is raising awareness among the local population as to the purpose of these drones. If the locals know that they're sending blood/medicine to help people, people are far less likely to mess with them.

    Making a generalisation of an entire continent with a staggering range of countries of various levels of development is not a particularly wise endeavour.

  15. Re:Still the same? on DC Judge Approves Government Warrant For Data From Anti-Trump Website (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    If just one non-Libertarian calls out the hypocrisy in both D and R camps your original argument is false. This is the danger with such arguments.

    That means people in the US watch 213,406 hours of non-funny-animal videos a day. I don't know if you intentionally broke your own argument or not, but you did.

  17. Have one company provide the infrastructure. This company can be owned by the city it serves. It is forced to lease out access to its infrastructure to any company which requests it. That might be a large ISP, or any number of small ISPs. This is how this problem is tackled in many parts of the world, and it works. You get small ISPs, large ISPs, and everyone in between playing on a level playing field.

  20. Statues of racists without context are not remembering anything but nonsense. Put the statues in museums, and everyone can still learn, but not have to put up with celebrations of racists in their daily lives. That seems fair.

  21. Re:While these guys are nutters.. on Cloudflare Stops Supporting Neo-Nazi Site The Daily Stormer (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    No, "people who are opposed to violent fascism, who protest fascists". The clue is in their name - they're not explicitly pro any single position, just against fascism. You won't get Antifa throwing bricks through people's windows because of who they are - that's the territory of Nazis.

  22. Re:While these guys are nutters.. on Cloudflare Stops Supporting Neo-Nazi Site The Daily Stormer (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    The Nazis claimed Cloudflare was supporting them. Cloudflare didn't like that, as they're not Nazis, and so cancelled the Nazi account. Seems fair enough to me.

    If your particular political activity is trying to deny human rights to people - as it was in this case - that seems fair enough.
