    Much better than another Justice Kagan would have. 2nd Amendment is now safe for my lifetime, and Ginsburg hasn't even died yet.

    Do you really want to talk about 'background liars'? Pocahontas is a leading candidate for the next D presidential run.

    There are far more middle class people (who ultimately pay most taxes) than 'poors'. Which is why Bernie and the like don't get elected. Thank dog.

    If current generation 'brake by wire' passes, the standard isn't close to good enough.

    Of course it's attainable, just expensive.

    They will have to get real about the bullshit they're promising.

    You can't look at the current situation (where Toyota ECUs overflow their stack over the begining of the heap, where the executives memory sits) and say things are just rosey.

    It's pretty simple.

    Don't buy a car without a physical throttle cable and a physical connection between brake pedal and master cylinder. Also a real transmission.

    At this point, it will be almost 20 years old. You will have to fix it/have it fixed.

    I do though.

    I want current ECUs fixed BEFORE we let the bozos start shipping, insanely buggy, 'self driving AI' alphas.

    If some other nation wants to make their roads the alpha test site, let them.

    The fact he isn't standard issue RNC is what's good about him. The DNC propaganda being a broken record is just old news, nobody takes them seriously. Ds don't even believe it, just parrot it.

    There is hope the Republicrats will destroy each other over Trump.

    Give it to them. Make them all develop ECUs using FAA 'commercial air' software standards!

    That's not what they meant? Too bad for them, it's what they need.

    Don't quit your day job and try to become an investment advisor. You understand fuckall.

  15. Nobody would trust such a currency. That's why blockchains were invented.

    Fuck lawyers, fuck courts.

    Cryptocurrencies need debugging, but eventually they will take away government's ability to print money. Which has long been needed.

    Governments pretty much have to run national militaries and police. The only reason they control currency is history and inertia. Think of cryptocurrency as a much needed check on government power.

    It's a long term hope though. Not this decade, nore the next. Might be the path to recovery after all the current mega currencies take their craps.

  16. You claim to work 90 hours/week.

    I've seen many like you, you were once good, now you're crispy and produce negative work, but are too burnt out to see it.

  17. Trump inherited his money.

    But Brown's parents knew he _couldn't_handle_ the money, so they left it in trust with an adult trustee to supervise their useless spawn.

    By holding long positions, you benefit from short position holders losing money.

    By your own standard, that's 'wishing ill to befall another person'.
