If you look at energy consumption in states like California, the demand hits well over a quarter million gigawatt/hours. This demand is only going up, not down. Elon is doing what Elon does best - proving that it only works on a very small scale.
I think Hillary was a total turd in many ways, but at this point she hasn't contested the election results. I'm pretty confident that she won't either. Most likely she's already accepted the reality and I'm betting she's now relieved that it's over. The amount of stress that situation must generate has to be astronomical for any candidate, and after a year of it I'm guessing the lines between "normal" and "overstressed" become blurred.
That said, I'm happy she didn't win. The US doesn't need a staunch SJW in office.
If there was a hint of voting fraud, sure. That hint just isn't here in this case. What is here in this case is a bunch of people who are so convinced they couldn't possibly have lost that they're looking for literally any excuse to make it otherwise.
And then I take your ballot box and switch it with another one stuffed with sealed and untampered ballots that vote the way I want them too. This is how civilized countries cheat your civilized method.
The polls are totally indicative of foul play. It's indicative of how media attempted to skew public opinion in favor of a specific candidate. It's also hilarious that it didn't work.
Have a good look at how Clinton supporters acted during the election. They would come out and physically attack Trump supporters. Is it any surprise that many just didn't bother to scream their affiliations from a rooftop? You probably know plenty of people who voted Trump and they just didn't bother to tell you because they didn't want to deal with the reaction and chastisement.
Wait wait wait, you're going to criticise the US prison system, interrogation techniques, and information gathering processes while holding up China as some paragon of virture?
LOL. Just fucking LOL. I guarantee you on any one of these points that China is 100x worse.
I agree it's a bit misleading, but I can sort of see the logic. If it stops you from getting to a career that is in effect costing you a career. Every year you spend not working professionally is lost money.
Except gender shouldn't even be a consideration when it comes to leadership. It should be your qualifications and running platform. Making "women only" elections is a promotion of the very sexist attitude they want to prevent. It's a clear statement saying "women are so inferior we need to stack the deck in order for them to win". It's needlessly denigrating them.
Nobody is arguing your equations. What most of us are arguing is that you're probably not in full possession of all the facts. If you were, then you'd be able to explain the results. Which you can't.
Mac ownership is still pitifully low compared to the whole. If anything it helps my statement as there are more exposed attack vectors now for macs than there was when macs were only for musicians and schools.
The difference is between the statement "It doesn't work" and the statement "I don't know how it works". Until the latter is satisfied, you can't say the former is true.
Just because you don't understand how it works doesn't mean it's instantly a "perpetual motion machine". I sincerely doubt it's creating energy from nothing.
Seriously. Top scientists don't know how it works yet. What makes you think you have the answers?
That includes such things as liking the increased resistance to malware and virus attacks
I'm sorry, but this is complete bullshit. Anyone with half a brain knows that the only reason Macs aren't targeted is because their market share makes it an undesirable target. Linux servers get hacked all the time, and they're arguably more secure than anything else when properly maintained. Macs aren't magical, they're just not on anyone's radar.
Telling people Macs are more secure is just giving them a false sense of security. The reality is that if it's on the internet, and you don't know what you're doing, and someone wants in badly enough there's a good chance it'll happen regardless of your operating system.
It's 2016. Many of us want to run both. A lot of us use Linux for work-related things, and windows for gaming since it has a greater range of software available. At work I run Linux. At home I run windows with Linux in a virtual machine so I don't have to bother dual booting. I don't understand the "all or nothing" approach when in this day and age it's incredibly easy to have the best of both worlds.
It seems like we're exposed to some kind of "major breakthrough" every few months that never amounts to anything. Is this really what it appears to be, or is there some "that's all great, but..." part that people who aren't biochemist/medical professionals are missing? I'd really like to hear from people with actual medical training on this one instead of people who read three wikipedia articles and now think they know kung-fu.

Wait .. Apple actually fixes their products? I was under the impression that they released broken products and had their customers pay to fix them.

Did they? The DNC was caught red handed doing things that are blatantly illegal in order to try to manipulate the election.

Why do you have to debunk something that hasn't yet been proven?
Except I didn't, but you seem to wish that I had. China has exactly zero room to act like the good guy.
Most of that stupid shit can be traced back to BeauHD. He's got a real problem with pushing his own idiological agenda on /.
Try filtering his stories out using the options. It helps a bit.

...coming from China who has been waging an information and economic war on the west for decades now.

It's slashdot. The only thing that surprises me is that it wasn't BeauHD that posted it.

These are pretty underrated IMO. They're pretty good specs at a decent price if you want to run Linux with no configuration hassles.

Call me when he shows a pattern of not posting shit. Then maybe we can celebrate. Maybe.
