If they said simple “We reserve the right to publish his identity at a later date,” it would be slightly different. But they didn’t, they said they: “...reserve(s) the right to publish his identity should any of that change...” I’m not reading into this, or seeing something that isn’t there, they literally directly…

“...and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.

You’re right there are dozens of stories all with absurdly loose connections or from ‘anonymous sources.’ So far zero evidence has presented that points towards collusion and there are no ongoing investigations into Trump.

I don’t think we’ll see a “Golden Age of Media” until the 24-hour “news” networks go belly-up, at the least, and that’ll probably be another 30-40 years...and if things keep going the direct they’re going, any reasonably accurate online news outlets are going to disappear in the next 10-15 years.

So it took CNN just a few days to find a random poster on the internet who made a gif. Yet in the 6 or so months that the Russia story has been out there CNN hasn’t found any evidence that there is any truth to it...

Neither are any other major news network.

So this is a political site now? Yeah, that’s why I subscribe to tech blogs and stay off Facebook. So I can read political opinions on Gizmodo.

Be more specific: what counteraction do you favor?
- Nuclear preemptive strike? Fallout on SK/Japan/Russia. Oops.
- Conventional decapitation strike? Better not miss, with millions of SK citizens (and US military personnel) in range of NK missile launchers and heavy artillery. Oops.
- SEAL Team assassination? No chance…

I guess you’ve never heard of WWI, in which NO government wanted war...but it happened anyway.

You are an idiot. We need to wrestle the pistol away from the idiot with a possibility of some getting shot before the idiot gets a machine gun and we cant even approach him. A lot of people want to go to war with NK. Dont project your own “I like hiding under a rock” philosophy on others.

You are making the mistake of assuming that the Kim’s are as rational as you are. The suffering of the North Korean people does not figure into any of what passes for Kim Jong-un’s calculation. If that guy gets terminal cancer, I would not be surprised for a second if he decided to bring a US or Japanese city with him…

Well, first of all, the Kim family has demonstrated again and again that they do not need good reasons to do things.

Like the others before him did not handle it, you mean?

I’m pretty sure that China doesn’t want to see any nuclear equipped ICBMs coming towards North Korea from the US in response to North Korea shooting ICBMs towards the US. With that said, China has had the opportunity to do something about this for decades but instead has continued to support North Korea and defy UN…

Why are you blaming Trump for this? North Korea has pursued this course of action, very publicly, for decades - going back to the Clinton Administration. Multiple presidents have attempted to use international pressure and sanctions (and likely some other tactics too) to stop North Korea’s goal of ICBMs equipped with…

I think it’s so neat the way Clustertruck implemented twitch integration! And the developer commands are really cool. I watched one streamer who went in and modified the code so that instead of the game checking if “landfall_games” sent the message, it checked for “nightbot” and set up bot commands (like “!color 255 0…

OH MAN! You could do some really wicked things as a developer with this ability. Imagine a horror game where all of a sudden the streamer is mentioned by name.

Okay, I get it. I understand Beth’s point, and yes it is problematic to make a joke of sexual assualt. And I get the whole “idealized romance” of the pirate as a pop culture figure, especially in the wake of the newer Pirates movies.

At that distance Jupiter will appear most likely as a very bright round dot at the most. It is not big enough or have enough fuel to turn into a sun the size you are thinking of. Nope no global warming and no ‘white nights’. However, there will be a gravity field increase which will tug on inner and outer planets and…
