  2. Re:Idiot post about Silicon Valley on 'Increasingly, People in Silicon Valley Are Losing Touch With Reality' (500ish.com) · · Score: 1

    Starts off with: People in silicon valley are in a bubble...Ends with: It's basically Trump's fault that people in Silicon Valley are in a bubble.

    Trump's reality bubble and Silicon Valley's reality bubble are two independent things, although perhaps caused by similar forces, such as too much money meets too much ego.

  3. Re:Misleading headline on Finland Is Killing Its Basic Income Experiment (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 2

    the Finnish parliament that stopped it for political reasons in December, only one year into the two year experiment, not because it failed.

    It would probably take a couple of decades to be a decent experiment. How people react in 2 years may differ from how they act over 10. Even if more time makes no significant difference, at least that fact would be confirmed empirically.

    How is this different from Wall Street plutocrats of the Thurston Howell type? They've been with us since the industrial age, and in royalty before that in the "let them eat cake" sense.

    I hear Oracle is trying to sue anyone publishing JavaScript because they own the trademark "JavaScript". Lawsuit fear may finally end the organic mess of JavaScript floating around. Okay, I'm only dreaming.

    People that work with automation will keep their jobs

    Perhaps, but human bot maintainers are probably roughly a 1:10 ratio to bots. Further, R&D on future bots may likely be cut because it's not an immediate return. During slumps, "non essential" staff is often cut, and R&D is not immediately essential. The math doesn't seem to support your point.

    But once the bots' ability stabilizes for a task, they pretty much stay in place.

    We are statistically due and perhaps over-due for a global recession based on the usual "business cycle" patterns. They usually keep the bots and fire the humans during slumps.

  17. Craigslist etc. should sue per free-speech guarantees of the Constitution, which overrides Congressional legislation (per court interpretation of Constitution).

    They could argue that the practical effects of the law hurt free legal speech. The court(s) may not outright strike the law down in its entirety, but strike down portions of it, or at least strike down enforcement of portions of it.

    It's unrealistic for a website hoster to monitor millions of users, and jail them if just ONE user slips through.

  18. Congress doesn't need a specific law violation to impeach and remove a misbehaving President; it merely needs enough votes.

    By the way, what's an example of somebody "obstructing justice" without intent? Accidentally falling on an officer and squashing them?

    Gadaffi: No threat to the US, openly welcomed inspectors, had a GDP surplus, was honoring stipulations on trade agreements.

    A civil war begun and he started mass killings of his own people, which made the civil war all the more heated. US didn't start the civil war.

    You know what the difference between Libya and Syria is right now? Syria is more stable.

    [Obama] did a pretty good job of killing leaders of other nations with no clue on what to do after, or destabilize an entire area of the world to the point that millions try fleeing to Europe

    That's a bunch of bunk. Obama did NOT start the civil wars, and they raged on with and without dictator removal. Keeping (Syria) versus removing original dictator (Libya) made no difference: both countries went to shit. If the Middle East civil wars had any single cause, it was the harsh economic crash that began under W's watch.
