Comment Re:Tesla Drives think they're playing Mario Cart (Score 1) 49

98% of traffic problems on highway 17 are caused by dipshits who should never be allowed to use the left lane. 1% are caused by that one dip in the fast lane on the EB side that they don't seem to be able to fix ever. The remaining 1% are caused at the first exit on the inland side when it's busy.

Before Teslas even existed I was passing the clowns who don't know what a passing lane is for on the right on the 17. The only meaningful difference between then and now is that there's more drivers, including more of those clowns. Well, that and that the speed limit used to be 65, so more competent drivers could make it over the kill. Of course, it was killing incompetents, so they reduced the limit and we all have to suffer. This is what happens when you design your nation around the car.

Comment Give me a real filter (Score 1) 27

I don't want to unsubscribe to this or that.

I want to give natural language filters like "I never want to see a political email again, from anyone"

Or maybe "If they make it sound urgent but it's not urgent at all, don't show it to me and remind me a week before the actual deadline if it's at all important".

As others have said, unsubscribe links often do not work and it's probably all the Gmail feature will use.

Why are we so predisposed to falling for this hype cycle?

The people without hope gave up and died.

The people with too much hope are suckers.

The people with just enough hope to succeed but not enough to be suckers took control of the system and manipulated it in ways that make people into suckers, and make suckers into bigger suckers.

Powell and Rice are not "said to have done so," they are perfectly well known to have done so. There was no legal problem with it then. Hillary operated her own mail server at their suggestion. And there was no legal problem with her doing so at the time she started to either.

I read an article on this a little while ago, I believe it quoted Powell as saying that he didn't advise her to do this until she had already done it. Who knows whether that's bullshit or not, or for that matter, if I'm even remembering correctly. I'm not currently on the machine with the relevant browser history, or I'd try to find it.

BUT, there absolutely was a legal problem with it then, especially for Powell, because he explicitly advised Clinton to run her own server for the purpose of avoiding discovery by being able to delete communications. And that is illegal when you are required to retain all official communications, which was the case.

I think most of us who have been here more than a hot second also remember discussing here that one of Clinton's staffers was reported to be seeking advice on email deletion.
