As long as he didn't install an email server on his illegal internet connection, I'm sure state secrets were safe and sound. Reading TFA, this guy seems to be perfectly in line with typical Trump philosphy of believing he knows better than what all the experts say.
VR will be about as popular as 3D TV and 3D movies. It's going to be popular for a few years, then people will learn that it doesn't actually make games any more fun and though it's still going to be produced (because by then it's not going to cost much more to do so), it's going to be just another bulletpoint in a long list of features.
No; morons are people who think that RDBMS's using SQL are the only database solution you will ever need for any problem you might ever encounter. NoSQL databases have their uses. I personally wouldn't choose MongoDB, but there are definitely situations where some form of NoSQL is better than SQL.
Assisted suicide is not illegal in all countries, and in those countries there are clinics which provide such services for terminally ill and suffering patients. There are plenty of other problems to overcome (as you described yourself), but the assisted suicide bit is currently solved.
I think every government agency should stop everything it's doing in the next four years, because in four years time, Trump will be replaced by another president.
Current government decides what happens, this whole "lame duck" bullshit isn't legal in any way or supported by any constitution or amendment.
FCC stopping plans now due to Trump not yet being in government is the same as failing to serve the current government.
Any evidence to back up your claim that the scientific consensus is now that CO causing climate change is a hoax? Or is it just some "think tank"-organization's claim?
TPP would have greatly benefitted USA corporation at the expense of other countries. Since I'm not from the USA, this is excellent news. Thank you mr, Trump!
Actually, I'm not too sure you understand how democratic systems work.
I understand perfectly well how it should work and how the US system currently doesn't work.
You think the DNC actually gives a flying fuck about if their political opponents get represented? Despite the leaks of what the inner party thinks of both their external and internal opponents that happened this year? (It's not the first time, but it's remarkable how public they got about it this year. It probably drove up the Stay At Home & Green Parties' shares.)
The DNC (or the GOP or any other party) indeed doesn't give a flying fuck about anybody but themselves. That is why you need a political system that doesn't give a flying fuck about what the GOP or the DNC wants. The current US system, though, basically says "You guys can run the entire show, have fun!". You can construct systems where parties are forced to cooperate and are forced to give a fuck. The problem is getting the ruling parties to give up power for the greater good.
I doubt it will change. But then again; women got the right to vote, non-whites got the right to vote, non-land-owners got the right to vote. A lot of what those founders believed in, got reverted. Regardless of who you voted for, this political campaign has been a solid demonstration of how broken the two-party system is. I hope the two major parties can get together before the next elections and develop a shared platform of political reform to prevent a repeat. I think the republican party in particular should have incentive to change the system, given they are now effectively running a policy they don't support.
You should look at those political systems before spouting an opinion on them. You only need to form coalitions with enough parties to form some treshold (exact % varies between countries) of majority, you don't need 100%.
If you have, say 100 seats in your house of whatever-you-want-to-call-it, then having one fringe wingnut (which would represent 1% of population that you must not ignore in a democracy) won't make any difference on any decission, unless the decission is very close, in which case you DO want their opinion.
Don't you think your political opponent deserve "No taxation without representation" too?
In the current situation, about 52% of US citizens is not represented by their own government.
The problem isn't your vote. It's the political system that makes any votes other than for the two major candidates useless. US should look at the political system of pretty much any other democratic country and copy it. There are plenty to choose from and pretty much all will be better than the two party system.
* Congress doesn't need to agree funding it, because remember the Mexicans would be paying for it? Still won't be built, obviously, because no sane country ever would pay for it. * Trump might be smart enough to understand climate change, but he's also narcissistic enough to ignore the truth rather than admit he was ever wrong.
I'll make a predictions of my own: * He won't make four full years. I'd be surprised if he isn't impeached within a year.
It's been nice knowing you, USA. You were doing great upto this point, but decided to stop. Hope to see you back in one piece in four years. And I do mean that literally.
This is a $125 decades old 16-bit games console being sold in a market of $50 Android TV boxes. I think the lack of HDMI is just about the least strange thing about it.
The match is just after the election, so chances are about 50/50 that the rules will be changed to Parcheesi just so the new president can fool himself into thinking he's the best ever at understanding chess.
Depends. Who can make changes to a bill? If this allows opposition to keep making changes, forcing a bill into an infinite waiting period hell, then it's bad. Otherwise the longest delay this could possibly cause is 72 hours.
Engineers who do electronics and phones designs are not the same that do washing machine designs.
Indeed. Washing machine engineers specialize in blunt force trauma, phone engineers specialize in first degree burns. Next up are the TV engineers specializing in seizures and then the printer engineers specializing in ozone poisoning.

It's the age of "Pay-to-win".
We're all on the losing side, with Fuckface Von Clownstick as president.
But you know what's funny? The ad to the right of Zuck's post is fake news. It has the headline "Hugh Hefner Says 'Goodbye' at 90"
You wanna know what else is funny? Those ads are personalized. You're the only one seeing a Hugh Hefner-related ad, you perv.

The father had legitimate concerns about how she would live after 200 years
There might be concern, but trying to predict 200 years into the future can by no stretch of the word be called "legitimate".

Seriously?
The problem exists.
The models aren't failing.
There is scientific consensus.
The "good news" here is that the problem isn't worsening as fast as it used to.

Brawndo.
Because plants crave electrolytes.
And yes, I'm an entitled fucking twat for thinking that immigrants shouldn't change our culture.
I can understand, given what white immigrants have done to your beautiful native American culture.
Actually, I'm not too sure you understand how democratic systems work.
I understand perfectly well how it should work and how the US system currently doesn't work.

It's not so much the "insight" that is significant here; it's the fact that it's said by a wealthy corporate owner.
Depends.
