  1. Re:Causation on Amazon Threatens To Move Jobs Out of Seattle Over New Tax (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    You are talking about jailing the homeless. A nice jail, for sure, but a jail nonetheless.

    If they wanted the kind of structure and monitoring you are talking about, they would use the shelters provided by cities and churches.

  2. I think China is less likely to care about my information than the NSA.

    I don't trust China more (trust them much less) but I think I would be a lot less of interest to the Chinese government than the US government.

  3. Instead you will be walking around with portable battery chargers and usb plugs...

    Besides the people you mentioned, Nikki Haley, Mia Love, Bachmann, etc.

    And yes, I'm sure you honestly think they are all stupid

    She is a republican woman. She wouldn't have a chance. The liberals would call her stupid, ugly, unqualified, and any other misogynistic name they could come up with.

    Yes, but all the House seats are up for re-election in November. It could very well be by January they no longer need any Republican support if the Dems take the House.

    They'd lose interest in this bill if they took over the house.

    If the democrats were interested in this, they'd have passed this as a law when they controlled both the house and the Senate and the presidency.

    Got it. Once winter comes I'll start bitmining to heat my house.

  8. Because he's obviously not a Russian troll.

    Anyone against Hillary is a Russian troll!

    In this case, it's the truth. When Assuage was releasing all the terrible stuff Bush did, he was considered a hero. It wasn't until he started ratting on the next admin that we started talking about what kind of traitor he was.

    So you route your own traffic through your own internet service? Isn't that redundant?

    I thought ATT and Version were better because they sell us a product instead of making us the product?

    At least that's what I read allot on Slashdot.

    I don't mind being a product and getting free stuff as long as I am aware of it first :)

  12. Nah. We learned from you guys. Anything good that comes we will credit Trump and anything bad well blame on what he inherited from the previous administration.

    Heck, this strategy worked for 8 YEARS for Obama

  13. It's the loud folks on the internet that have no respect for the US. The thing is, they didn't before Trump either.

  14. Hopefully my "bestie" is a bit less publically critical of me then the friends you think Trump has

  15. The increased cost on their production, due to raw material costs, is equivalent to a rounding error...

    So perhaps there's some other angle. Shock.

    So it's possibly humanitarian reasons he wants to continue to have his "products manufactured by forced child laborers"?

  16. Re:Why single out Google? on Should the FTC Investigate Google's Location Data Collection? (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes - I am sure most people would rather pay google 20 a month for search/email/maps etc.

    People prefer and choose google's business model. There is nothing fundamentally evil about it.

    I know. I just thinking this can replace the old "We can send a man to space..." line.

    Lower middle class and poor or more likely to be in jail or know someone in jail. I think they have a much better handle on jail and it's effects than most people on the other end of the class spectrum.

    We can find a plastic bag but not a crashed airplane?

    If that's how most people you know will react, you need to find a better group of people.

    Because we recognize marriage and that people have needs.

    I have no clue if these visits are allowed outside of marriage but I think they are. They were allowed (permitted) when I was dating a sheriff. She told me too many stories about the dramas that would go on in Bexar County jails.

  23. I read the article...

    Is this just another subway (but smaller) or is it like a ferry where you park you car it takes you across town?

  24. Why would a Climate Monitoring System be under NASA and not NOAA?

    I would think that NASA's only role in this should be launching and maintaining the satellites. The Science and Climate Monitoring itself should be under NOAA control.

    NOAA does. This is just more government waste.

    The Global Monitoring Division of NOAA/Earth System Research Laboratory has measured carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases for several decades at a globally distributed network of air sampling sites

    Exactly.

    The NOAA actually does monitor this. It's just another government duplication
