  1. Re:Too little, too late on Justice Department Appeals Time Warner-AT&T Merger Approval (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Interestingly, any appeal will likely bring up the fact that ATT committed perjury.

  2. No you blithering idiot, it's because they would have to make multiple generational leaps in several separate parts of laser technology in order to be able to get the performance they're claiming.

  3. Re:Facebook hates America on Facebook Apologizes After Flagging Declaration of Independence As Hate Speech (nymag.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, are we supposed to annex Canada now? I must have missed that memo.

  4. Look, if the french want to bring back the aristos, we'll happily include them in the celebration, but France went completely off the fucking deep end when they had their revolution.

  5. The piss weak beer was a side effect from listening to turn of the 20th century progressives on beverage consumption and outlawing it. Luckily, that is finally reverting to the good stuff.

  6. I'm sorry, but did you just try to argue that medicine was subject to normal market dynamics? Really? Price gouging occurs when access to a product is restricted, either through an emergency, or entirely artificial constraints.

  7. No, because last time around they did just that and when the bottom dropped out of the crypto market they(and AMD) were left holding the bag

    Fuck you. If it weren't for assholes like you we would have had thorium reactors by now.

    Elisabetta Barbi, Francesco Lagona, Marco Marsili, James W. Vaupel, Kenneth W. Wachter.

    These statisticians are 115 times more deluded than Pons and Fleischmann

  10. The issue isn't deflecting the asteroids given warning, the issue is being able to see the asteroids in time to give said warning.

  11. Re:Maybe there's a twist? on Amazon Workers Facing Firing Can Appeal To a Jury of Their Co-Workers (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that if a particular manager has more than one loss he's not getting promoted or a raise anytime soon and he would be fired or demoted before that number hits double digits. Hard to say since the program has only been in place for a year.

  12. There's a 30% chance they get to keep their job and move to a different manager if they want with no repercussions, and they still get the other two options if they lose. Stellar editing by BeauHD btw, he managed to give attribution the person familiar to the process to a completely different piece of information from the article than the one they were responsible for.

  13. Re:Without polarization (and Trump) they are proba on How Twitter Made the Tech World's Most Unlikely Comeback (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    Clinton and Obama were what gave us Trump. Without them, he never would have been elected*. That the right is now playing the same game as the left and they don't like it is largely irrelevant. It was Clinton who back in 2008 only conceded when the DNC promised her the nomination after Obama. It was Obama who allowed the likes of Lois Lerner to smother the political opposition with the power of the tax man. It was Obama who attempted to gaslight the illegal arms numbers with Fast and Furious, only to be brought down by the death of a border agent with one of the guns in question. It was Clinton who used a corrupt FBI to cover for her ass when she got caught using a server in her bathroom to communicate with people, including the president, while in technically sophisticated countries. It was Obama who called the right "bitter clingers" while Clinton chose "deplorables". Goose gander motherfucker.

    *One of course should not discount the MSM who gave him tens to hundreds of millions worth of free non-negative publicity to Trump during the Primaries or the GOPe who was moronic enough to back Jeb fucking Bush.

    Aaand no. I mean first of all 4 Voltas were barely able to hit 30 fps at 1080p. This is equivalent to 5.5ish 1080ti's plus additional tensor cores in graphical horsepower. That doesn't even take into consideration 4k adoption rates.

  15. WCCF has at best a 50% hit rate on their more speculative claims.

  16. Re:How is this a shit sandwich? on 'Netflix and Alphabet Will Need To Become ISPs, Fast' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    The most effective option giving the longest benefits would actually be eliminating regulatory capture at the state level.

  17. Re:How is this a shit sandwich? on 'Netflix and Alphabet Will Need To Become ISPs, Fast' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And if it weren't for regulatory capture at the local level eliminating competition that wouldn't even be an issue.

    In point of fact, regulations are probably responsible for the lack of competition in your area.

  23. Now now, it is entirely possible it's India as well. Or a sooper sekrit dastardly plan whipped up by the Russians.

    No. Just... no. One of the things you can do with blockchain technology is decentralize something. However that is not remotely the only application. China is interested in it for it's tracking capabilities, and the advanced control it gives over its citizens actions.
