  1. Re:Out of Africa still a thing? on New Human Species Found In Philippines (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    We definitely had descendants in Africa. We can trace large migrations out of Africa. Even the researchers suggest this species in the Mediterranean might have migrated back to Africa. Finally scientists are skeptical of this specimen as detailed in the article you linked.

  2. Re:Airline scheduling on Why Airlines Make Flights Longer On Purpose (bbc.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    I didn't know that airlines were run by communist government. Or maybe the truth is the airlines provide shut service even in your sk called free market. Better keep deregulating things though. That'll improve everything.

  3. Re: Here we go again on Automation Threatens 1.5 Million Workers In Britain, Says ONS (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, automation in the past has created sufficient new jobs to compensate. Is it always guaranteed to do that though?

  4. We should ban cisco on Trump Blockade of Huawei Fizzles In European 5G Rollout (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    We know Cisco devices cant be trusted because the US government has already been caught installing backdoor spyware into Cisco devices at customs. We should ban Cisco as well as Huawei.

    Your country is fucked if what you said is actually true. All hail the lazy shits of America. No wonder the planet is so bad off.

    Make recycling bins voluntary. If they produce such little waste it fits in a normal bin: all the better. Otherwise make them pay for more garbage bins.

  7. Re:Recycling is a dead end on As Costs Skyrocket, More US Cities Stop Recycling (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Make it a fine. If people want to use the recycling bin, fine them if they misuse it and use the funds to clean at the recycling depot.

  8. Re: Recycling is a dead end on As Costs Skyrocket, More US Cities Stop Recycling (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    There needs to be a tax on landfills. Calculate the amount landfill contributes to global warming, the true cost of global warming, and then levy that tax into landfill operators. Recycling may suddenly become much more profitable.

    Americans need a lot more education. Hardly surprising that's the right answer for this.

  10. Re: Traffic cameras to reduce number of collisions on Google Maps Adding Photo Radar Warnings For Drivers In Canada (huffingtonpost.ca) · · Score: 1

    When Australia first got speed cameras this is exactly what they did. They would move the camera from box to box, so most boxes were empty. That was until the cameras started paying for themselves of course,

    I think there is an apk for that

    That's gay

  13. Re:The Book of Lord Shang on Beijing To Judge Every Resident Based on Behavior by End of 2020 (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 0

    I don't get it. Why would a common every day bird cause a disruption to the government?

  14. Re:Oversimplification of telemarketers on The Story of Lenny, the Internet's Favorite Telemarketing Troll (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Telemarketers are the human equivalent of Viagra spam bots and their phone calls are the verbal equivalent of spam. People should react accordingly.

    I dislike all salesman and assume they are out to steal from me and behave accordingly. Doing so is perfectly legal.

  16. Re:Gee, that's too bad on US House Passes Bill To Penalize Websites For Sex Trafficking (trust.org) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Are you saying it's morally ok to have sex with a 16 year old when your on holidays in Alabama but not ok when your on holidays in Colorado?

    Your appeal to authority makes no logical sense on this issue.

  17. Iraq? What about Afghanistan?

    The only rational recourse to So Qaeda killing 2,900 people was to send the world into a war where 2,200 Americans died and saw the rise of one of the worst terrorist organisations.
    Way to go America.

  18. Re:Best possible failure on SpaceX's Falcon Heavy Center Booster Lacked Ignition Fluid To Light Engines and Land On Platform (latimes.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    The payload went into the wrong orbit. Don't forget that.

  19. Google is looking for special rules and more influence over both local and national politics. How long until Americans realise their country is slowly becoming a corporarocracy?

  20. Re:Novel technology to solve nursing shortage on Japan Wants To Increase Acceptance of Technology That Could Help Fill the Gap in the Nursing Workforce (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    This is Japan, not America. They actually have health care that looks after it's people instead of one that maximises profit.

  21. Re:The Answer is Unique Titles on Nintendo Switch Outsells Wii U In 10 Months (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Wife has been living Mario Odyssey on the big screen and we've both enjoyed Mario kart on the big screen. But I've caught her playing Mario Kart on the handheld while watching tv (damn woman is secretly practicing so she can beat me) and last plane trip she played Mario Odyssey while I played Pokemon Ultra Sun on the 3DS.

    Mobile capability is definitely getting good use. Not a gimmick.

  22. Re:LMAO on Trump Team Considers Nationalizing America's 5G Network (axios.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Lots of people in government make all sorts of recommendations, most of them aren't acted on. Just because one department made a presentation on something doesn't mean "team Trump" are going to do it.

  23. Re:Good precursor on SpaceX and Boeing Slated For Manned Space Missions By Year's End (fortune.com) · · Score: 0

    The chance of having your pussy groped by Trump on Mars is significantly smaller than it is on Earth. Could definitely be a valid choice for Ivunka to make

  24. Re: Don't be merely evil! on Google Brings Map Service Back To China (nikkei.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It is up to Google where they do business. Their motto wasn't "don't break the law" it was "don't do evil". Google has demonstrated they don't hold to (if they ever did) one of their claimed founding principles all in the name of the almighty buck.

    As a member of the public, I can have an opinion of Google based on this and because I'm not in China I can voice that opinion.

  25. Re:Thanks to the cloud on City of Barcelona Dumps Windows For Linux and Open Source Software (europa.eu) · · Score: 1

    People tend to resent when finance pushes for cost cutting measures and then fails to live up to those measures themselves. Internal politics for the win.
