Comment Re:Cutting Costs Now and Forever (Score 1) 94

Even so the prices are excessive. If I want to upgrade the SSD in the current MBP from 512 GB to 2 TB that's +750 â

Meanwhile, a Western Digital Red SN700 with 2 TB I can get for a bit over 200 â.
A Samsung 990 PRO 2 - 245 â (was just rated the best M.2 SSD on the market by Tom's Hardware).

Whatever exact chips Apple is using, they're not 3x as expensive as other high-quality SSDs.

Even if "locked in place" is your underlying assumption, anyone who's even heard of the real world from their mom who has a friend whose father once visited it should know that there is no rule without exceptions and even if that is perfectly true, a small number of those particles will not be locked in perfectly.

Parents don't bother getting involved until there's an issue du jour. I served on a school board, and it was something of a surprise if we got anyone other than those being paid to be there - school officials and local news reporters. Then, we'd have a contentious issue, people would fill the room, a lot of shouting would ensue, the issue got "resolved" - or not, but we couldn't do anything more about it - and attendance dropped to zero again.

Parents could make a difference if they cared enough to show up to board meetings where these things are discussed before they're rolled out to classes.

Say a guy had a camera out and was snapping shots and taking video on the subway of everyone. Would that be considered acceptable?

No, it would piss off a lot of the other passengers - even though it is legal behavior.

Talk to someone who does street photography about their confrontations sometime.

Comment We know how this will play out (Score 1) 47

Members of the current administration will certainly talk about anti-competitiveness, along with a copious amount of Trump spewing random unrelated crap when he gets asked about the merger - but then Netflix will funnel money to Trump in some manner and the deal will get done.

Netflix might buy into the ballroom, it might promise to develop "Trump: The Making of a Beloved Modern King", or money will quietly flow directly into the Trump family's pockets. One way or the other, this is going to be allowed to happen.

People really think that there will be enough able to travel in enough places more safely, which isn't even proven. They haven't even diven in winter yet on a clear day, never mind a blizzard. With snow clearing equipment. This is the environment where 2/3 more accidents happen. Driving in clear dry conditions doesn't improve much safety overall because that's not where the most accidents happen

He's just being a typical American MORE BIGGER FASTER tool. I drive an 08 Versa with a 1.8l with 122hp and I have absolutely no problem being one of the fastest people on the road, because even a slow ass car by modern standards can do all the things. I never have trouble getting up to speed on a ramp or whatever.
