I should have included voters in all the communities in coal mining areas, not just the miners - all the families and everyone of voting age in coal mining areas who now might think that coal mining is coming back (and it just might under t

I have to wonder if this is a play towards coal miners, who are part of the conservative base - and they need every vote they can get. Coal is an awful source of power, and a really big source of pollution.

When have trump voters ever been wise?

The 80's were even better than the 90's for Warez, the real golden age. Modems were slow, and you had to really want to transfer the warez, overnight, for as long as it took. I quickly racked up a $300 phone bill one month (early

I remember going from modem to internet and feeling like it was a "multitasking communication line" compared to the single-point connection the modem was capable of. With the internet I could contact many different servers at the

They are an in-law of mine, yes I've spoken to them. They want to bring their loaded gun on a plane with no restrictions - that is literally why they refuse to fly on an plane. Good for the rest of us, I guess.

That isn't their deal. They want to bring their loaded gun on the plane with no restrictions, or they simply will not fly. Reason does not work with a person like this.

The AI can't make a reliable judgement, so now you have to hire 3x to 5x more to make those judgements if you have the documents coming in at 3x to 5x faster. Or you'll have one severely overworked lawyer. It's the same probl

The wealthy have been taxed appropriately in the past, we just need to do it again. There is precedent. The Peak Year (1944): The 94% rate applied to taxable income over $200,000 (which included a 3% regular tax and a 91% surtax). That $200

While not a home-run server, the NTP system is a distributed service that receives 100 billion to trillions of requests per day, and it's running pretty smoothly - it's never gone down completely since it started in 1985. It&#x27

That's nonsense. "Companies" are not something non-human, they are run by humans , who do feel, empathize, and are living beings. Without these living-being humans, there would simply be no "company". Now how those

Guess what... another trump will run for president after donald is gone, and they will also be just as greedy, but not "a boomer" or anywhere near that age. It has nothing to do with age , so the sooner you get that out of your h

Take "boomer" out of it and I would agree with you. Greed and power are not and never have been an age-related thing past early childhood. It's the human condition, not strictly a "boomer" thing.

Winner take all is a farce. It didn't work for Uber when they tried to out-spend the competition, Lyft is still very much a thing, and so are taxis (the non-robo kind). There will always be many, many AI companies and trying to execute

Yeah, the ones that know obvious slop and won't ship it are the ones who will win. Unfortunately it seems like I'm stuck with the other half at my current job.

Do you think this is the first folding phone that ever existed? There are plenty of cases for folding phones, they've been around for many years already. Cases for this phone will likely work exactly the same.

Beauty is subjective. That's not snark, that's reality. Nothing is "genuinely beautiful". You can't just call something beautiful and have everyone agree that it is in fact "beautiful". It's the most

It's also a foolish thing to do. Any time anyone types anything into anywhere on any webpage, that data is as good as gone, it's out there. Back in the 90's I experimented with per-character logging on all form input boxes, j

If "competitive capitalism" is how you want to frame it, then Zuckerberg should have been thrown out for essentially burning $83 billion dollars on a VR world that is never, ever going to pan out. That's going into a hole at
