No. No. No.

It's a good sequel. Better than anyone could have asked for.

This is the closest thing I've found to the old slashdot: https://ancillary-proxy.atarimworker.io?url=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.ycombinator.com%2F
Let's keep it that way.

...if you let your phone dictate what news you see..

Google Now, for example, appears to treat everything on the internet as equally reliable and even if you allow it to "learn" based your phone use, you end up in a dystopian news bubble based on searches and clicks made for other reasons than the continuing and intense interest Google's AI seems to assume you have.

Ken Burns is good but THIS is the best documentary ever made. ;)

Or maybe they could just stop double dipping. The cable is already run to my house and I already pay a substantial amount for internet access. Why insist on charging me more just to watch commercials? Charge extra for a set top box if you like but don't require it.

Not that I, personally, will ever go back to watching commercials..... But it seems like it would help retain some cable customers, esp. sports fans.

"..."will probably replace 50% of human jobs, create a huge amount of wealth for mankind and wipe out poverty,"

How is this supposed to happen as opposed to "Create a huge amount of wealth for a tiny minority and increase poverty."?

Serious question.

This is why you don't own a space ship company.

Speak for yourself.

IMO, anyway.

Seriously. There's more content than ever. We could use a culling mechanism, IMO, but piracy doesn't seem to be it.

Now let's talk about the damaging effects of making sharing a crime.

I've been running my company on MSE/FEP/Defender for the past 6 years with zero headaches caused by the anti-virus software itself and an infection rate of maybe 5 or 6 per year across 200 PC and laptops. Users have local admin rights. Perimeter IDS catches some things that get through.

It seems to work better than any other anti-virus I've used and I hate them all. It's certainly the least annoying.

... that they release this about two weeks after I'd given up and ported my GV # away. I had put up with years of MMS/SMS frustration. They must have changed their default SMS app three or four times. All my contacts had two #s for me despite me trying to do everything I possibly could to prevent that. Porting to T-mobile was such a nightmare experience (5 days, 3 hours on the phone, 2 visits to store (avoid the stores)) that I'm hesitant to port it back.

Guess I'll just get a new GV # and see if it is really going to be worth it. Can't say I really trust Google not to fuck it up (or change it often enough to be irritating) again.

" Is it time for the Electoral College to reflect the popular vote?"

Way past time.

I just cancelled my 99 cent subscription to WaPo over this. It's all Trump, all the time, everywhere you look. The fucking election was over a year ago.
