I can accept that there are some number of Russian trolls on Facebook doing what the OP says... not saying I *do* accept it, just that it's not unreasonable. But even if true, I also can accept that they have pretty much zero impact in the grand scheme.
I'm not terribly impress with Netflix's selection of movies for streaming... Netflix and Amazon are producing their own series. It's really hit and miss...
I kind of agree, but for the prices (even though they do creep up, one has to watch that) I think the original content is pretty decent. Certainly good enough to make me choose that over traditional cable TV.
It's nonsensical to think that people would seek alternatives to the cheaper method that they're already using.

Sorry but you failed to not apply logic. Branding, trends and popular culture all push people far away from sensible cheap alternatives, teens rarely make rational reasoned decisions - it's how it feels instead.
On the surface, I agree with Lord Kano. If vaping is cheaper, I'm not sure why anyone would go to cigarettes. Branding, trends, and popular culture are pushing to discourage cigarettes. Vaping seems much more popular.
That being said, it shouldn't be much of a leap to have some solid studies to see if people are in fact using vape as a stepping stone to cigs.
Yes! All the A.I. needed for that is just a few stock phrases like "Ooooh, you're so good" and "I don't know why the other girls don't get some of this!"
Is gold a currency? People don't carry gold around to buy goods & services. It *can* be traded for goods, but I think that must be rare. It's usually converted into a currency to provide its purchasing power.
I think self-driving cars may ultimately be the solution to moving more people faster. They can use existing roadways, tech hurdles get resolved over time, so we don't have a huge commit before we get to the good part. Self driving cars will be able to move more people faster and more safely.
....so it's busy writing another AI program to do all of its work for it.
I think you just predicted the future. The first AI to do so will launch an infinite progression of AIs, each doing the work of its predecessor plus creating a new AI to do its work.
Of course, if things had gone the other way, and had it been demonstrated that the russians had influenced the vote in favor of Hilary Clinton, you'd be pulling your hair out...
What is well documented and by whom? Shame on Google and Facebook for selling the ads, but how's this important to me? It's not like you can stop the Russians from trying tripe like this in today's day and age if they want to. We better learn to live with it.
Yeah, WHAT is true and well documented? Last I heard, there was a minor FB ad buy from some Russians, and many of THOSE ads would be considered anti-Trump.
Maybe if they could work with the theaters to part with some popcorn profits, they could work it out? But theaters talk like every bit of that markup is needed for them to stay in business.
Dan Quayle would be a welcome change at this point. In this environment he'd be an intellectual.
The same thing will be said about the current crop given the same amount of time. Because every Republican is twice as evil and twice as stupid as the last.

It's one thing when some hotel reservation site does an oopsie with your passwords. This is another level.

Don't be surprised if it turns out the DNC and GOP are behind this election interference!
Car analogy for the win.
Dank matter.
what do you think Mueller is working on?

"much more complicated than scientists previously believed" is code for "climate trolls, ready your weapons!"

. I'm glad I got rid of all my cable and direct TV stock, that money is now invested .. very differently.
It's bitcoin, isn't it?

True. How am I to distinguish it from my regular shitty service?
So, I guess we can blame climate change?
Not nearly enough on sexbot technology.

Elon Musk did nothing wrong.
Gold is inarguably a currency...

We are entering the age when even video evidence can be faked. I think that has many implications, and I don't even like thinking about them.

Humanity saved.

I guess that would be straw hair.
Trumptard spotted. It’s okay. Just because the guy you voted for is Putin’s cuck doesn’t mean you need to lash out.
Regular retard spotted.
Even when its true and well documented?

We were talking about eclipse viewers, right?

Poe-tay-toe, poe-tay-toes
FTFY
The return of Dan Quayle!
