It's called free speech. Yes, it sucks to be made fun of online, but most universities are getting better support systems to deal with this kind of stuff. Theres lots of free counseling services on campus that do provide the support in

Buying used is the best thing ever. TBH craigslist is full of deals, although it sometimes takes a while. I found some parts to fix my gaming PC being sold for fractions of what they were going for on ebay, etc. Let someone else take the de

Yes, of course violence and vandalism is never justified, but think of it from a bored high schoolers perspective. It would be so much fun in the future to stop a waymo in the middle of an street, cover its cameras, and watch the aftermath.

The mercedes bus isnt made for American markets, nobody in America runs them. UC Irvine has a fleet of 20 byd buses, they aren't terrible, and are way nicer than orange county's own transit system. Sure, they have some minor issue

Yeah, but honestly, among its core userbase, nobody cares. It's great for finding out about groups and events in one place, and instagram is the biggest social media platform in the world.

Even index stocks are in free fall right now. Check again. VOO has dropped 1.5% today, which is pretty bad for an index stock.

Honestly, it is dead in terms of people wanting to be on it. But in college, as I've recently discovered, everything is on Facebook, whether it be clubs, your hall mates, study groups, anything.

Honestly, I disagree with you on the summer part. When I was in high school, summer gave everyone a much needed break, and gave us the opportunity to work a job, do internships, and prepare for the sat/act. Summer is a time where stude

I've turned it off, but I found out that it removes a very useful feature: I can no longer set a home or work address. Why is this? You could've easily just stored those two addresses and not track everything else. They are clearl

No. Too slow, and inefficient. Oh, you also need to build a ton more parking garages that could be used for housing or office space. One person does not need 4,000 pounds of metal for a 30 minute drive each morning.

Kinda off topic, but pranks for the next generation are going to be amazing. Code is just so predictable. I can picture a couple of teens blocking an empty self driving uber/waymo going to pick up its next passenger, covering its camer

I was travelling at the time of the ban. Thankfully I wasn't affected by it, but the laptop ban was even more boneheaded. No electronics larger than a cellphone. What does that even mean? Had to go thru another security check right at

I dont think it's a good idea to put out that you are going to distribute illegal guns at a hacking conference. Seems like the feds would want to pay him a visit for that.

It's for people who want the best 4k gaming experience. As shown in the benchmarks, at 1080p, it really isnt beating the previous cards by much. If you are the kind of guy who can spend a lot of money on a 4k monitor, you probably are

It's the internet though. That's what's beautiful about it. You dont have to specify anything about yourself, and nobody can attack you for it. Linus is taking time off after a very stressful time. He deserves it more than an

Yes, captchas are broken with vpns. Sometimes, I was not even able to complete the captcha, if you click on the audio option it says to try again later because it thinks you are sending automated requests.

Yeah, they made a bunch of jokes/roasts about apple removing the headphone jack, and still having one on the pixel, and then just removed it on the pixel 2. Tech hypocrisy at its finest.

Ha! I can just see the teenagers blocking the car, covering cameras with paint, and leaving an empty Tesla in the middle of a busy intersection for the cops to deal with. Pranks for the future generations are going to be really interesting.

Waymo alone is fine, but when you take into account fatalities caused by others like uber, right now I think self driving cars are worse than humans by a pretty large amount.

Because they are companies that sell a product to consumers, who expect that this will keep them safe on the road. We need to hold them to a much higher standard than a teenager.

Not illegals. You realize that as an illegal you cannot legally work in the states right? You have no documentation, so anywhere paying decent wages would never hire you, because it's illegal and would open them up to fines and other l
