    Oh, you can be sure it's not a good one. The people perpetrating this garbage don't want to be equal - they want to be superior.

    You're misreading what I'm saying. I want verification from someone who is: 1) not greenpeace, and 2) reputable, which greenpeace isn't.

    You're right. We should take everything a group of people who are known to use violence, lies, and junk science to achieve their ends at face value. Excuse me if I prefer to get this sort of information from people who are more reputable.

    ...but Greenpeace has been repeatedly shown to be a horrible organization of eco-terrorists who often don't understand the science behind the things they protest. It got so bad even some of the founders left and renounced all ties to the organization. Patrick Moore in particular left them when they decided it was a good idea to try to push a universal ban of chlorine in drinking water. Moore is also known to have done a complete 180 on nuclear power issues once he educated himself on the matter. He has spoken at length about how the organization has very little in the way of scientific direction.

    So, there very well may be a problem here - but I'd be entirely sceptical of anything Greenpeace has to say about it.

    I don't think even for a second that apple has a 50% market share. It's hilarious to even think that. The article is full of shit.

    Some of the android watches were going on to their 3rd iteration by the time apple got out of the gate.

    Dumbasses keep saying this, but the facts speak for themselves. Most people aren't going out of their way for an electric that only gets 75 miles, and if they do, it's in addition to a gas powered car not instead of it.

    Elon isn't doing this. He's making cars the majority of people can't afford. Electric cars need a 300 mile range for $25k new with the infrastructure to back it up or adoption will never be as good as we'd like it to be.

    It's OK to have luxury electrics, but if they make up the entire market it will never take off.

  10. These programs are stupid on Germany Plans $1.4 Billion In Incentives For Electric Cars (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Make electric cars cheaper without sacrificing so much range so they have parity with gas powered cars. Then take all the money you would have put in to incentives and create infrastructure. Stop paying people to buy in to technology and start making the technology desirable to have.

    You're either a liar or an idiot. The default configuration for windows is to defer updates until such time as the computer is idle. Usually between 1am and 6am.

    Go to any political rally and ask random people what they're protesting. You'll get such a random cross-section of answers you'll wonder if anyone actually knows why they're there. I'm reminded of "occupy wall street" where many were interviewed and nobody seemed to know what the point was.

    It says to me that the majority of Millennials know something is wrong, but they have no idea what that something is or how to fix it. So they blame the very first thing they can think of. I think information overload is partially to blame - it is creating a lot of individuals who now think they are experts on complex subjects because they read a few factoids about it online somewhere.

    While true, members of the electorate rarely vote against their constituents. So yes, while individuals could recast their vote in a way that doesn't reflect the votes of the people, it almost never happens because it's political suicide.
