The difference between Bezos and Trump is that Bezos pays for his own penis extenders, whereas Trump wants YOU to pay for his (The Wall). I don't have any problem with Bezos doing whatever he wants (legally) with his own money.

CDOs are for show, not for actual results (diversity is a cost center, not a profit center). They should ALL be crippled Hispanic black lesbian midgets!
The only reason why you wouldn't want everybody to know how you manage diversity is that you know your system is broken and doesn't work, and that anybody analyzing it could also figure that out.
Programming jobs are the easiest jobs in the world to ship offshore; most software can be written literally anywhere in the world. STEM education is still important, but you're better off training for a career like medicine or pharmacy where you literally have to be in the same room with your customer -- those jobs can't be offshored! Also, automation is going to take a lot of jobs away... shouldn't automation eliminate programming jobs too?
Walmart is cheap, and I can order online and pick up the next day in Oregon, avoiding the Washington sales taxes I would have to pay if it was delivered. But trying to get someone to help you at Walmart is a lost cause!
If they didn't charge $50/year to sign up for their club, I would. I simply don't buy enough books to be worth it, and books are significantly cheaper at Costco and on Amazon.
I thought they had saved themselves with the Nook (unlike Borders). But their business model is fundamentally flawed; you can't compete with Amazon prices while paying high-end department store lease costs! In December, it looked like they were trying to be a toy store to bring margins up, but that didn't work for them either (and Toy-R-Us is going out of business too.) Can anybody compete with Amazon?
I've had the experience: "Oh, you're buying a $2 million home? Your property taxes alone will cost you more than I spend on my mortgage... which is why I can't afford a house like that!"
I think the biggest difference between the government space programs and the private space programs is the private programs will be advertising supported. Much of the SpaceX Falcon Heavy launch was just designed to be good TV; next time expect the rockets to be emblazoned with Durex ads!
Donald Trump claims global warming is a myth... and yet he's building sea walls for his golf resort in Ireland to protect it against the sea level rising!
For the past 60 years, the electronics industry has been telling people that stereo sound is the way to go... now Apple is selling a monaural sound system? (Granted, in theory two of them can be used for stereo... if you don't mind paying $800 and seeing them argue over who answers the audio commands)
Picking your own locks is legal. Picking someone else's locks probably require a locksmith license. And possession of locksmith tools I believe is illegal unless you have a locksmith license. (But many auto parts stores sell the same equipment the locksmith uses to open cars after people lock their keys inside... will I get busted for buying them?)
Oh... so his "crime" was reported the existing flaws in the Popcorn Time content protection mechanism? Wouldn't giving him a reward and then fixing the defects make more sense?

Breitbart is still working on "The 10,000 year cuck".
Just wait 'till aliens bring the Tesla Roadster back to earth, looking for it's creator... Maybe it will go by the name "V'Ger" by then.
Casio batteries don't last 10,000 years. Not sure how one proves this clock lasts 10,000 years either.
You are obviously paraphrasing Linus Torvalds' famous comment, "We all know Linux is great... it does infinite loops in 5 seconds."
Sure, but does it adjust for DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME???
IBM: still pissed off that Microsoft copied the unsuccessful OS/2 to make Windows!

Raspberry Pi is Linux and it's cheap AF. Also reasonably well supported if you know how to use apt-get and pip. What's not to like?

Atari is still in business???

I think any business model based on people PAYING for porn is doomed, but what do I know?

The Trump White House staff still makes some pretty vile suggestions too!
