Re: Back to "Comment Held for Moderation" lie, too. -- How many times have I seen that?
If you keep crapping on someone's doorstep and ringing the doorbell sooner or later they're going to install a camera so they can check before opening the door. Do you blame them or yourself?
Anything still under warranty should be repaired or replaced. But outside the warranty is no different than anything else you might buy.
If the engine in your 2012 Mazda dies you might be upset at Mazda for poor quality or upset at the universe for your bad luck but you have no recourse. Your options now are to buy another Mazda or some other brand. Or, I suppose, stop driving. This is no different.
> In short, they make a new CPU that actually is marginally faster than the last one AMD released. Then, they do a limited run of boards with full-speed FSBs and put them in the review units they send to various hardware reviewers. Then the rest of us, even the people who pay upwards of $600 for a motherboard, are stuck with lower-speed FSBs.
If there weren't end-user-driven stats sites out there to get the real performance data (ignore all those reviews sites) this might be a real concern. However, Intel is still the better buy, as long as you go with coffee lake. For now.
Sooner or later I expect AMD will take the lead again but it has been a really long time since the last inversion.
It's no coincidence. Germany is pounding the Politically Correct movement into the dirt in an effort to overcome their Nazi history. But methinks the lady doth protest too much.
Re: Should work to put the liability on "callous billionaires".
Those who get the big bucks ARE responsible and liable, regardless what the "laws" they paid politicians to pass say about "limited liability": COMMON LAW over-arches all.
Re: Yot, corporations are responsible to the public.
Corporations are responsible for their own behavior, not mine. They cannot exist as a social media platform and take responsibility for everything posted therein at the same time. What you continuously espouse in your rants is not possible.
Congress passed no law. The FBI made a list that nobody should consume and local law enforcement consumed it on misplaced "good faith".
Someone is in the wrong here but the plaintiff may never see satisfaction. And there was no law passed by congress that made it illegal to be a fan of ICP.
Re: Re: Call yourselves "insane clowns" and then whine when believed.
The first response to your pointless ramble took a lot longer than it took you to respond to the first response. Were you continuously reloading your browser, just waiting for someone to respond to your unmitigated wit? Like a child, far less clever than he thinks he is, who sets a trap for his sister to fall into and get slime all over her shirt, waiting in desperate anticipation for the event to occur?
There's no need. Any group listed on the FBI's report can now take their local police department to task for harassment because their "good faith" defense is no longer valid after this court decision.
I'm referring to the "privilege" portion of your argument. I've spent most of my life in a moderately mixed, liberal region and have not witnessed anything resembling "white privilege" since middle school. And there it was just kids being stupid, as kids will do.
In fact, I've seen the hiring and promotion of less qualified minorities simply to tick a box. More than once. Those whites in power you speak of are falling over themselves to avoid any appearance of favoring other whites. The net result is the opposite of privilege.
History is history, no debating that. And there is a long way to go before there is universal equality. But the reality right now, today, in any given situation does not resemble what it might have in the 60's.
Maybe where I am is just that different from the rest of the country.
And so the generic public demonizing begins. When will we see anti-North Korea posters resembling those of the Japanese from WWII start to appear in public spaces? Gotta drum up that anti-NK sentiment for public approval to drop a bomb on 'em.
Re: Expecting BAD corporations to police bad people IS foolish, true...
You're not a software engineer so you can be forgiven for not knowing what follows. But you cannot be forgiven for pushing an agenda based on false and incomplete information then abusing your opposition from that ultimately flawed platform. Read on and educate yourself:
Twitter handles millions of tweets every day. Processing that amount of information is not something you can hire enough people to do in a manner that results in those tweets reaching their audience in anything less than several hours and at a cost that would cripple the company. No, this kind of thing must be automated.
Computers do not think. They don't reason and they don't have any capacity to be "subjective". There is a lot of software out there now that seems somewhat "intelligent" and "reasoned" but it isn't. It's pure algorithm and even the best AI is still following a script of sorts. We have not developed the computer that can independently think like a human and accurately determine, in just a few milliseconds, which tweets should be published and which should not.
Even humans would mess this up with alarming regularity. 140 characters is too little context to understand every message. Often you have to know that user's tweet history, the culture where they live and numerous other factors to determine with any degree of accuracy whether any given message should be posted.
We are nowhere near the technological level required to emulate a flawed room full of human reviewers much less improve upon them.
tl;dr You have no idea what you're talking about. Please go away and let the adults talk.

That's right. The public is held to a higher standard than those who police the public. And the public trusts them... why again?
