  1. Re: Confucious say on China Says It Will Return the Underwater Drone It Seized From the US (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    You are probably right.... which means, we're going back to the days when a mid-spec PC cost $3500, and countless American waterways polluted with the effluents from electronics manufacturing.

  2. I hear you about smart watches - today, the only smart watches worth wearing (that meet all the criteria you stated) are Garmins. The Vivoactive and the Fenix 3 are excellent replacements for the Pebble.

  3. For one thing, leaving off the platinum plating. That's what makes most razor blades good for more than a single shave.

  4. Roads are public goods. Amazon is not.

    Fighting fascism with censorship and intimidation? That's like fighting obesity with onion rings.

    Ah, the delicious spectacle of Zuckerberg lecturing us about integrity. Next up: Paula Deen nags us about eating healthy.

  7. Re: Stick a fork in.... on Computer Specialist Who Deleted Clinton Emails May Have Asked Reddit For Tips (usnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Jill Stein wants to give Edward Snowden a cabinet position. Gary Johnson doesn't know what Aleppo is. They're moral people, but they just might be idiots. And even so, I agree with you. Eliminate the Republicrats.

    Those "rednecks" to whom you refer have been bullied and browbeaten endlessly by the media over the last twenty years, and over the last eight they've had a President who outwardly, openly disdains them and does nothing to address their problems. And on top of that, we have a climate where millions of people like you feel completely comfortable describing them the way you just did. It's time for people like you to accept some of the blame for the rise of the Orange Fuhrer. Nice job.

  9. You have some "much needed" money in your wallet, please hand it over immediately.

  10. Re: It's just another fundraiser. on ACLU Is Launching A Campaign To Convince President Obama To Pardon Edward Snowden (fusion.net) · · Score: -1, Troll

    It is ludicrous to suggest that to expose domestic wiretapping, Snowden necessarily had to expose our foreign intelligence gathering methods and assets.

  11. It's just another fundraiser. on ACLU Is Launching A Campaign To Convince President Obama To Pardon Edward Snowden (fusion.net) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Long ago, the ACLU worked tirelessly to defend the civil liberties of Americans. Now they're just a fundraising organization that mostly exists to elect Democrats. Snowden did a lot of good, but he also acted indiscriminately and betrayed American intelligence-gathering methods to foreign powers. He should be pardoned for whistleblowing on domestic surveillance but punished severely for espionage. Th ACLU knows this but would rather pretend otherwise, in order to get those sweet, sweet donor contacts.

  13. Re: Elect Trump for Honest Government on FBI Finds 14,900 More Documents From Hillary Clinton's Email Server (go.com) · · Score: 0

    I understand your reasoning and sympathize with it, but I honestly believe a Trump presidency would be even worse than having a criminal as bad as Clinton in the Oval Office. But, you could vote third party with a fairly clean conscience.

    That assumes that the risk is inversely proportional to the size of the site, which might be flawed. Bigger sites probably have more sophisticated tools to identify and track attackers. Plus a bigger legal budget.

    That's the old Vatican. I wouldn't be surprised if the current Pope has a replica wand and Time-Turner.

  19. Thank you, Wahhabist lunatics, for making my day. on Saudi Arabia Revives 15-Year-Old Ban On 'Zionism-Promoting' Pokemon (timesofisrael.com) · · Score: 1

  23. The article, and the headline, are bullshit. on Tech Job Postings Are Down 40% On Popular Job Boards (medium.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    RTFA, and you'll discover the following:

    - The 40% figure is based solely on the author's job board (which this article was meant to promote).
    - He makes some vague claims that he's "been tracking a few of our closest competitors for a couple years," and that data "trends along" with theirs, but he offers no concrete numbers, and the the plot he provides actually shows no such thing.
    - The author provides no real, provable explanation as to why this is (supposedly) happening.

    He may still be accidentally right about the jobs market, but this article really says only one thing: that 40% fewer people are using Authentic Jobs. And I'm more willing to conclude from that that they're getting their asses kicked by Indeed and LinkedIn.
