if he becomes president... they weren’t “delusions” of grandeur ... they become something more akin to clairvoyance.

This is a pretty damning indictment of ESPN and their view toward women in general. They should be absolutely ashamed of themselves.

yeah we should build a wall to keep those robots from stealing our jobs

The problem isn’t tax breaks... they don’t cost anything because they are just offsets in the event that the enterprise makes money. There is no real “loss” from giving tax incentives/breaks.

While I feel for Kesha... this decision was correct. Her recourse against Dr. Luke should be taken in civil court where she should go after him personally. Ideally she could prove what he has done and put him away but barring that she may be able to get restraining orders, civil settlements for “pain and suffering”,…

I take offense to jokes about jesus... you have offended me

This happened at a company I worked for with about 1000 employees where it was just supposed to be an email between executives and somehow a company-wide list was cc’ed. 3 of the executives that were explicitly on the list did not realize that the message had cc’ed this list (I assume because their settings had it in…

With a tesla at least you can’t unplug it unless you have the key in your pocket.

They have to park somewhere and if EVs are popular enough their garages will need offer services (probably for a fee) that include charging.

Its gonna be a long while before trucking goes autonomous primarily because of the “last mile” problems. Until autonomous vehicles can deal with the maneuverability required for handling some of the more complex situations... a driver will likely be required. He may be sleeping for 90% of the trip but he will probably…

Very high power, portable, limited firing time, unlimited range. All you’d need is a big spinning mirror and you could vaporize a human target from space.

“The idea is that combat aircraft can use solid-state laser systems defensively, creating a sanitized sphere of safety around the aircraft” ... so shields?

It seems like it could be useful beyond just the sexual assault application even for children that may need to be located. If it could send a location to a central server every x min. so adults can track their childs location or for older kids just provide a way for them to alert their parents and send their location…

I think we are in agreement then... you are choosing to act in your own interests but since, by your own admission, you don’t care what the content providers do... I guess you really have no standing in this argument over whether what google is doing is right or wrong. You aren’t a real consumer that they have to…

I skipped over that part but that is true too

I understand that you believe you have the right to block ads and control what you watch or don’t watch and I do not deny you that (though I would quibble with whether it is truly a right). That does, however, mean the market will adapt... as it should.

If you are cannonballing... is it legal to have another car pace you and charge the battery as you drive or does that somehow disqualify you because you had help from an outside resource? Because that would certainly free you up quite a bit in terms of the route you could take and not requiring any stops.

This is an incredibly foolish way to look at the world. If 40% of people use adblock and google “ignores” it then their conversion rates will drop 40% compared to other sites that do not ignore it. This will result in advertisers going elsewhere or devaluing the CPC. PDP is absolutely right... Adblock has consequences…

He would get 5% of the 55% of the revenue that is left over after google takes its 45%.

that wasn’t a double-yellow though.
