What “credibility” do you imagine he’s going to be giving the network by literally contradicting its entire worldview with every answer he gives? Do you think Sanders supporters are going to start watching and absorbing Fox News uncritically en masse afterward? What is the specific, observable phenomenon you expect to…

“When there’s a doubt about how someone means something or what someone does, give them the plus sign,” Martin said in a video.

But for the rest of first world humanity, this isn’t really an option if they want to keep in touch with people.

Um—- Trump has a higher approval rating among regular Fox viewers than he does among Republicans at large, given this should Bernie also focus his campaign on appealing to moderate Republicans?

Companies never have an incentive to respect unions, other than, “We’re going to stop working, and it’s going to cost you dearly.”

Should the Sanders campaign do an interview with Breitbart? Or an AMA on Stormfront?

I’m willing to bet serious money that this ends up being a whole bunch of pointed questions about the Green New Deal, about why Sanders wants to take away the private insurance we all love so much, and about some newspaper column he wrote decades ago, with a question about the deficit thrown in for good measure.

It’s definitely a product of its time, but even back then there’s a reason why WoW was such an instant hit, because it cut out a ton of the stuff in EQ that was bullshit.

Oddly enough, I feel like classic EQ has aged better than almost every modern-era (post-WoW) MMO on the market. Particularly on the Project 1999 emulation server (which has the blessing of Daybreak and is therefore not illegal or unethical to frequent), what you get is a taste of an untouched, uncompromising MMO game,…

Great, but I mean, most startups aren’t going from “we’re an app, guys!” to “we own fleets of millions of self-driving vehicles around the world, along with the land and infrastructure to store and maintain them!” Like, you have to admit, this is a huge leap they’re crossing their fingers they’ll be able to make. And…

The problem is that a self-driving taxi service bears little resemblance to the business they currently run, which is basically just a scheduling and payment processing app. I’m not sure why people are so certain that it’s just a matter of slotting in self-driving vehicles for human-driven ones. They have to own those…

Great, so the robot cars are coming. How feasible do you believe it will be for Uber or Lyft to pivot from being glorified middle-man apps, to owning, managing, and housing (this requires lots of land and infrastructure) massive fleets of self-driving cars around the globe? This isn’t just as simple as slotting in AIs…

Yeah, I don’t buy that any important conversations are actually being had on Twitter. A few important things may have been said, but saying is different than conversing. No one is actually hashing anything out, because the platform is all about posturing in the first place.

I love how bloggers know that Twitter is fucked up and stupid and a waste of time, but because it’s big with other bloggers and journo types, there’s no option other than to be on it, and to dream that there exists some outside possibility of “cleaning it up” one day. Like, seriously, this is just becoming…

Well, and the hilarious thing about self-driving vehicles is that people are putting all this effort into making them operate on roads designed for human drivers, alongside those same human drivers. What all efforts would be pointed to, if we were smart, is converting shit over entirely to self-driving, “smart”…

Self driving cars are def coming one day, but how long away that day is and whether Uber and Lyft are still around and solvent and whether the govt allows the benefits of self driving vehicles to be fully captured by private companies remains to be seen.

4) Self-driving robot cars, funded by the momentum and potential of the human-powered service, effectively eliminate 3+ million transport jobs and allowing Lyft, Uber, and Google to ultimately realize their profitable dreams. The technology is similarly ported into public transportation for a better experience and…

If it were really that big a problem, one of them would be gone by now. It’s obviously being played up for attention.

Outside of the times he’s insulted her dad...

It’s almost like the animosity between these two is a big put-on designed to draw eyeballs to the show.
