  1. Comey's a conservative, so is it illegal for him? A lot of Trump's team also say they are conservative so it's illegal for them too?

  2. Re:Who even wants this stuff on Sony Is Blocking Fortnite Cross-Play Between PS4, Nintendo Switch Players (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    IIRC it's the other way around - Console players can join PC matches (if they want to play with friends on PC or something) but PC players can't join console matches (because they'd slaughter everyone). Problem is PS4 players can't play with XBox players so the PS4 players can't play with anyone that could also play with Xbox

  3. Maybe OP simply means that in a few billion years the sun will expand and burn up the Earth by raising temperatures much higher than what's dangerous. The debate is just if we get there in 50 years or 50 million years

    Trump has accomplished exactly as much as Obama did on the "international stage" when he won the Nobel Peace Prize

    I think most people (even Obama) agree that the Nobel Peace Prize should have gone to someone else.

    Depends what they're negotiating. We already know Trump is a HORRIBLE political negotiator - he managed to "negotiate" in the business world by screwing over contractors and strong arming the other side, but he views negotiations as something that can be won when a good negotiation would be where everyone wins. I also fully expect Trump to walk out but because he has no clue what he's doing. He's batting a 0 on the international stage at the moment.

    But imagine once the kinks are worked out- It'll be super simple for consumers with one port and one cable to connect anything

    So you look at this situation with North Korea, and think "the reason things didn't work in the past was TOO many smart people involved". Given Trump's track record, he's unlikely to sign ANY agreement (see: all other international relations), but I'm sure you'll spin that as a great victory for Trump somehow

  8. I'm very left wing, but I'm also very for free-speech and against censorship. I'm all for terrible games being published, but I'm also for campaigns against buying them and pressuring them to not publish through market forces

  9. Re:Phone spam is the reason on Why No One Answers Their Phone Anymore (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 2

    I rarely see a spammer reuse a number so I don't see blocking to be effective. If someone calls me twice in a row, I'll probably pickup.

    Yes, it's a complaint - no one else needs to pre-fund pension plans. Your second sentence about them going broke doesn't make sense.

    Additionally, you can use multi-factor authentication for the password manager

  13. They're removing the "Secure" indicator, but not the "Insecure" indicator which is arguably more important to know these days

  14. Re:This is easy to avoid... on Comcast Charges $90 Install Fee At Homes That Already Have Comcast Installed (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    First, always check online for the better deals. The stores and calling can't provide those. You might get $30/month for a year instead of $50/month if you order online.

    Second, after you order online, they'll need to schedule your appointment so at that point you'll be locked into the better rate AND you'll get to talk to a real person. At that point you can let them know you're all good, or maybe they'll just waive the setup fee.

    In theory, but the video system used requires the people using it to got to a facility AT the prison to use it. Basically the worst of both systems

  17. Re:Look! the circuis is in town... on Senate Democrats Force a Vote To Restore Net Neutrality (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    According to all but 1 poll, Trump is substantially below historical presidents. There is a big difference between approval ratings of the two.

    Trump didn't win because he was more popular, he won because Clinton was less popular and people that were expected to vote for her didn't vote. Since Rasmussen always skews right, they "predicted" the surprise in this case. That doesn't make them more accurate.

    Sure, in one poll run by a conservative organization, he's up by 1% or equal to Obama at the same time, but the Rasmussen Reports poll consistently rates him more favorably than others as you can see. The RCP average (and all polls apart from the one cherry picked in the WE article) put him a good deal below Obama at the same time.

  19. Re:Look! the circuis is in town... on Senate Democrats Force a Vote To Restore Net Neutrality (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Those two articles say very different things. The first one puts him at 50% a month ago (compared to Obama at 49% from the same poll). The second looks at more polls and puts him at 43% (compared to 49% with the same method). Plus he's been trending equal or negative since April (according to The poll you cited).

  20. Re:Look! the circuis is in town... on Senate Democrats Force a Vote To Restore Net Neutrality (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    That's not particularly respectable...especially if you look at the spread. Compared to other Presidents he's way down there

    Which is good - Net neutrality is extremely popular and not a partisan issue. The senators in the pockets of the telecoms should be on record being against it so people know to vote them out.

  23. Numbers are very suspect on Jay-Z's Tidal Accused of Faking Kanye West, Beyonce Streaming Numbers (qz.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    So they claim that every single user of their site streamed the albums 10 times a day for two weeks straight, as well as watching the hour long HBO show 3 times? Maybe "songs from the album" means streaming an album of 10 songs counts as 10 streams, but still, that's a bit far fetched

  24. Games like this require lots of people to play, so even if you're not paying, you're improving the experience for people that DO pay.

    a) The outfits aren't how you tell your team (and people often play without teams) b) most of the outfits seem to make people MORE visible with bright colors. The outlines don't change.
