    I was with you until you said he was a good guy.
     
    We all know he's a robot, not a human.

  2. Re:0) Nobody gives a fuck you whiny bitch on Twitter Is 'Rethinking' Its Service, and Suspending 1M Accounts Each Day (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    4) No, Conservatives aren't being silenced - nazi faggots posing as Conservatives are getting a taste of what they deserve - hanged for treason.

     
    And here we have a perfect example of gaslighting. Telling someone their experiences are not what they saw in an attempt to make them think their own beliefs are crazy.
    Youtube and facebook are pretty strong about removing right leaning items.

  3. Re:People will freak out at this on Comcast Will Limit Xfinity Mobile Video Streaming Resolution (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Having a VR lens won't improve your screen's resolution.

  4. Being able to do this is quite frankly frightening.

    Why do we let there be a system, where other people can take money out of our account, because they decide that "Nah, you never got this money."

    If it can happen for illegitimate transactions, it can happen for legitimate ones.

  5. >Amusingly, her server turns out to have been more secure than the State Department server. The State Department got hacked, but the Clintons didn't.

    Alternatively, they both got hacked, but only one was able to detect the hack.

  6. Re:We need to fix those statistics! on Sci-Fi Is Still Working on Its 'Stale, Male, and Pale' Problem, Says James Cameron (indiewire.com) · · Score: 1

    Teachers, a well paying job? Not where I live.

  7. How many of them were false positives? on YouTube Says Computers Helped It Pull Down Millions of Objectionable Videos Last Quarter (recode.net) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I remember not too long ago that a LOT of people were wondering why the hell their videos were banned, with something as innocuous as just a TF2 match.

    AI is not good enough for detecting hate speech yet.

    When my doctor removed that girl's kidney, it was surgery. When I went ahead and removed her kidney, it was murder.

  9. >Which would translate into the taxpayer basically supporting Uber's business model by reducing drivers' overall taxes owing.

    Being able to deduct income used as part of employment isn't unique to Uber. The same thing would be true for an independent taxi driver.

  10. Re: Fuck them on Five Major Credit Cards Are Now Blocking Cryptocurrency Purchases (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The idea that they are clamoring for is a currency in which there is noone that can dicate who you can and cannot do business with besides yourself, and the other party.

  11. So, men who don't have sex are inherently more dangerous?

    That's an awfully strong stereotype you are portraying, that having sex is a required part of being a normal man.

    Oh fuck off, we aren't saying they're perfect, we're saying they're significantly better than humans on average. Yes, there will be the occasional fuckup, but it will happen a lot less than human error.

  13. Re:I don't need cryptocurrency on Bank of America Wins Patent For Crypto Exchange System (coindesk.com) · · Score: 1

    They are tied to a private key, not to an account, massive difference. A private key can't be shut down by anyone.

  14. Re:Trump/Bannon economic nationalism is anti-capit on H1-B Administrators Are Challenging An Unusually Large Number of Applications (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The problem with H1Bs, is they allow the company to have a leverage over their employees beyond just mere payment. Your employer can essentially deport you at will. Not just fire and cut off income, but literally cut off residency. This leads to a terrible power imbalance, that of course the employers would seek.

  15. Re: Gold, for future archaeologists . . . on Sex Toy Company Admits To Recording Users' Remote Sex Sessions, Calls It a 'Minor Bug' (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    You do realize that IQ is LITERALLY defined so that the mean average (as opposed to median average or modal average) is 100, with a standard deviation of 15, and a normal distribution. Even if the average intelligence of everyone changes, those things will still be true.

  16. Terrible idea. on Should Private Companies Be Allowed To Hit Back At Hackers? (vice.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    One of the most BASIC things to do in hacking, is cover your traces by making it LOOK like you're someone else.

    So, naturally the best way to harm corporation X, would be to hack corporation Y, but leave lots of evidence that it was corporation X, thus causing Y to attack X.

  17. At some point, people will realize that they're worth more in the future than at the present time and you won't be able to make use of any of them because nobody is willing to sell.

    At some point people will realize that USD is inflationary, and you won't be able to make use of it, because noone will be willing to accept it.

    Perhaps the sensors' electricity consumption is included in the 2kw figure?

  19. No way to create communities. on Radical Leftists Built Their Own FOSS Alternative To Reddit After It Banned Them (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Right now the site seems to have no way to create forums (The equivelant of a subreddit), this concerns me, as if conversations are to be sequestered to an appropriate forum, then certain viewpoints can be silenced simply by not having an appropriate forum, turning the site into a large echo chamber.

  20. This is the exact opposite of what they should do. on Microsoft Teams is Replacing Skype for Business To Put More Pressure on Slack (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Replacing a fully functional product that a company probably spent a lot of money hiring people to implement and integrate with the company network with another product just seems moronic.

    If I were a buisness that used Skype, I'd be pissed off and probably change to Slack, rather than change to Microsoft Teams.

    Thing is, you need to get people to show up to primaries

    Because that did a fat lot of good for the democrats. Have it rigged from the start, accuse sanders supporters of throwing invisible chairs, ignore demands for manual counts that they are obligated to oblige, etc...

    Female voices tend to come out better after deep compression, that's a big part of the reason why they were used so much in 80s technology, because they were easier to understand.

  24. Re:caveat emptor on Uber Gives Free Rides to Shelters During Hurricane Irma (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Surge pricing also increases supply significantly. Many drivers wait until surge pricing starts before they start driving.
