Every time this gets brought up here people scoff. Nobody seems to be willing to notice that tech companies have for quite a while now been misrepresenting the pace of innovation in areas that not-coincidentally are attempts at diversifying

You act as if the Chinese populace doesn't broadly suppprt their government, including these kinds of restrictions.

ID for a cell number is certainly not a requirement in the US. Or anywhere in Western Europe. Or Canada. Or Mexico. Or anywhere in South America. So where are you talking about that being a requirement ?

I suspect because it's a complete and utter lie and there's no evidence to support it.

Can the "mass production self driving cars are just a couple of years away" meme finally die yet? Are we ready to admit that maybe this is a harder thing to invent than we've been trying to make ourselves believe?

That's not really comparable at all. A color tv is a fundamentally more distinct product as compared to a b&w tv than a ICE cars is compared to an electric. Especially for the foreseeable future.

I think you underestimate the impact space travel had on the collective consciousness of the part of humanity that was aware of it. What you flippantly dismiss as diversity wasn't a thing back then, not like it is now, and both the rea

I'm a big ACLU supporter but they've always held the position that gun rights are collective, not individual, and generally been in favor of restrictions on private ownership. I'm not super surprised they're taking this

And the alt-right is getting dumber. Seriously, "bigleaguepolitics.com"? Are you going to peddle Seth Rich conspiracy theories now too? Because that's also on their front page.

It is a numbers station. It's been known for years as the article says, and referred to as a (one of the many) numbers stations. Many/most don't actually read numbers.

You are 100% correct. Politics is shouted to the rafters in every forum inside Google, but with a voice that starts out from the extreme left and migrates further leftward from there. I can completely understand why conservatives - or even

Every single company does this now and it's a fucking nightmare. They'll give you a million useless and stupid perks, but they won't give you a fucking place to actually do work. It's infuriating beyond words.
