    What?

    'Left leaning' means 'power hungry', nothing else.

    She created inane character dialog that gamers click through without reading or listening...and the game is better for it.

  3. Smart people know he should be on the dustbin of history. Complete failure in economic theory, with millions of gallons of blood on his hands.

    But morons dredge him up as soon as they forget (or never learn) of Marxist failures and genocides in the previous generations. If it wasn't so sad, it would be funny.

    Marxism is at the core of 'postmodern' 'thought'. It plays right into the prejudices of the half smart. They really do think they could 'fix things' if they were in charge and were allowed just a little genocide...

    'Corporation and state'.

    In fascist Italy, only government sponsored and owned 'corporations' were legal. Which changes the meaning of what he said to just about the opposite of what people that cite it usually think it meant.

    There are arguments about later period Nazis, but Mussolini was a socialist to this dying day. Franco was a 'super catholic' authoritarian. Historic 'fascists' are all over the authoritarian end of the map.

    Do you even want your gaming packets treated the same as your video streaming or FTP packets?

    Just in case you ARE that clueless, no you don't. Ping matters for gaming packets, doesn't for streaming video.

    It's called QoS, break it and you break the net. It has never been illegal.

    Your personal definition of NN is broken, simplistic and childish.

    Two very different cases.

    BostiYokadephia IS one big urban blight.

    California has lots of space between somewhat dense cities.

    If the studies came to the same conclusion for both cases, suspect it.

    Fuckoff with your Nazi claims. These days anybody that doesn't want to destroy Israel is called a Nazi by pinheaded neo-stalinists. It's backward year.

    There are FAR more Germans in America then vice versa, people continue to vote with their feet. Europe is nice to visit, but only a fool would want to live there.

    I skimmed your link. Lots of vapor, lots of arm waving. The fact remains that current efforts at making cheap Lidar is done by putting fewer beams in it, 4 is typical.

    I've already addressed claim 2. You just 'doubled down' on 'vapor'.

    You do have a point about the software being nowhere close to ready...5 years (your claim) is laughable. Software won't be ready, cheap LIDAR won't be ready, image processing won't be ready etc etc etc.

    Debate it then. You're wrong BTW.

    Anybody can sue anybody else for anything at any time. Means nothing.

    The fact remains NN put the government in charge of the definition of QoS. What could go wrong, putting such a group of competent, trustworthy, freedom loving people in charge of a technical definition that has the potential to break the internet?

  18. French politics have been a shitshow for 70 years. Italian, even worse. Don't even look at Greece. They've been getting elected on 'larger handouts' for so long, they've broken their economies.
