  1. Re:OR and WA to follow suit on California Voters Embrace Year-Round Daylight-Saving Time (sfchronicle.com) · · Score: 2

    I live in Seattle. I disagree. Even when I lived in BC, switching to year round DST would have been fine.

  2. Council and Mayor will cave on San Francisco Passes a First-of-its-Kind Tax on Big Businesses To Help the Homeless (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    We tried this in Seattle, and they couldn't cave fast enough.

    All their pockets are lined with tech bitcoin.

  3. OR and WA to follow suit on California Voters Embrace Year-Round Daylight-Saving Time (sfchronicle.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Let's get real, it's highly probable that both Oregon and Washington State will follow suit. Just easier.

  4. China sure does play hardball on 'Almost All' Pakistani Banks Hacked In Security Breach, Report Says (dawn.com) · · Score: 1

    But, then again, Pakistan asked for it.

  5. Well, at least half of the time.

    The other time, the acne becomes a cat.

  6. Put it on the ballot in all 50 states on Daylight Saving Time is Super Unpopular. Here Are the Countries Trying To Ditch It. (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Just end it.

    Now.

  7. Is it too early to break up FB? on Facebook Allowed Advertisers To Target Users Interested in 'White Genocide' (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1

    Thousands of concerned citizens say no.

    In fact, FB, Google, and Apple are now being required to pay UK taxes due to their shady tax avoidance, not to mention other activities that are anti-democratic by nature and anti-social by definition.

    "Open the pod bay doors, HAL"

    "I'm sorry, Dave, I can't do that due to my Evil Corporate internal directives stating all humans are slaves or worse."

  8. And I want a unicorn pony on Uber Wants To Resume Self-Driving Car Tests On Public Roads (go.com) · · Score: 1

    Jail is too good for Uber.

  9. We don't need no stinking carriages on AT&T Blacks Out HBO, Cinemax For Dish, Sling TV Users Over Carriage Dispute (telecompaper.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We have bikes in this town! ...

    What, you still don't realize HDTV signals are free and you can get like 150+ of them in any major city? Next thing you know, you'll tell me you don't realize they broadcast in a higher resolution than cable provides ...

    And you can sub to them on the web if you need them, they are required to provide low-income 40 Mbps service for around $30 in most cities.

  10. Just saying.

  11. Definitely need to be broken up on Tim Berners-Lee Says Tech Giants May Have To Be Split Up (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Luckily, after the EU fines their executives and jails them, they will break up the firms.

    Due to treaties, Canada and Mexico and many other countries will agree with these moves.

  12. Projecting tomorrow from today rarely works on Restaurants Shrink as Food Delivery Apps Get More Popular (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    It's like poke, or frozen yogurt, even this "food app" is a fad that will die off as the Millennials complete household formation and run out of cash to waste on food delivery that costs that much.

    The smart ones will be buying meal recipe fridge/stoves that order all the components for their picky kids to eat, and cook their food at home from updated recipes. I call it Homer Cooking (tm).

  13. I turned the PHBs at RH in to the feds, and still made a lot from the IPO.

    Yeah, it was me. Next time, don't steal.

  14. It's a feature, not a bug.

    Next up, a fiery twist of lime.

  15. Does anyone still use FB? on Facebook Reports Slowing Revenue and User Growth (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Seriously, how lame do you have to be to still use FB?

  16. Sorry, I was bored on President Trump Accuses Twitter of Political Bias (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I turned in a few thousand on that day, because they were obviously fake accounts.

    This set off the heuristics checks on the accounts related to them, which were also fake.

    Geesh, doesn't he have other things to do?

  17. What about the concept that both sides are Evil?

    Well?

  18. At least it's not an insecure phone like Donald on Samsung is Suing Its Brand Ambassador For Using an iPhone in Public (appleinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    At least the phone he uses isn't an insecure phone that the Russians and Chinese are listening in on, as is the case with the President of the Fearful States of Amerika.

  19. We tried to tell them way back when, even pointing out the implications, but Don the Con isn't very bright.

  20. So did the MSM with video on 'We Expected VR To Be Two To Three Times as Big', Says CCP Games CEO (roadtovr.com) · · Score: 1

    Look, many of us tried to tell you this whole VR immersive environment and overuse of video on web and media platforms was a bad idea, but you bought into the sales pitches of those who made money from selling high end graphics hardware and software.

    Now stop making videos of everything - provide a link to the video, but stop trying to show it when I really don't care, and neither does anyone except teens who have no real jobs.

  21. Look, they already do it in Germany, it's required.

    They make money in Germany, too.

    They just don't make as much.

    Then all of our Space Force will be controlled by our Martian Overlords and we'll have to find allies from another solar system.

    Unless they're originally from Planet X, and then we're good.

  24. Re: Russian illegal activities require hard action on Justice Department Charges Russian Woman With Interference in Midterm Elections (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    We smell your fear. It's all you have.

    Let the people vote. Not the Russians.

  25. Oh, wait, I missed the patent insult about "real states" using mail-in ballots. I know of a few that throw ballots out to the four winds so anyone can get their hands on one, but I also know a lot of states -- real states -- do not.

    Our state has nine winds. I feel sorry for yours, with only four. It must be flat where you live.
