Comment We already pay for extra screens (Score 1) 113

We already pay for extra screens for concurrent play. Are they saying all the screens need to be physically close to each other? What about Mobile? Is my phone or laptop going to start whining for a password, just because someone at home is using the account, when I payed for extra screens exactly for this reason? I read the article and the blog, and that is not clear at all. They did use the word "flexible" in their blog though. This doesn't sound flexible.

Comment We are in a warming cycle. OF COURSE it's warming (Score -1, Troll) 111

We are in the warming cycle of both a lesser and greater glaciation, so, OF COURSE it is warming. The thing to fear would be if it started cooling. Because, if you look at the cycles, once the warming ends, it gets cold real fast. And I don't feel like shoveling snow in Southern California. So, I'm praying the warming continues.

Comment Vegans & ACW advocates want fewer cows (Score 2) 93

One of the big complaints from Climate change alarmists is we need fewer cows, because they produce a lot of green house gases. And the Vegans are right behind them, pushing for less meat consumption because of "cruelty". If we follow these demands, we will be creating our own manure crisis, and not be able to grow all of the plants we are all supposed to be eating instead of meat, because there will not be enough manure. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

There was no "Hack". Some people found the account creation page and spammed it with fake accounts named like famous people. During a beta. Isn't that what betas are for? Finding your blind spots and fixing them before you go live for real. In this case it sounds more like a honey pot for finding TDS sufferers ahead of time. How to get pre-blocked in an upcoming app in one easy lesson. Too funny.

Comment What Apps? (Score 1) 29

I couldn't read the articles link to another article at Bloomberg because it is paywalled. So all I can infer for the offered applications in nothing to directly compete with the actual MS Office core applications. The companies listed don't provide Office equivalents AFAIK. They seem to have useful niche business applications that many use, but aren't Word, Excel and PowerPoint replacements. I could be wrong, but the article does nothing to remove this concern.

Comment Re:"On Record" (Score 1) 105

Another part of this they don't discuss. How much of the observed warming is expected from the warming phase. With the remainder therefore being the Anthropogenic part. Even IPCC's number is only 0.14 degrees. Which is clearly not enough for the level of panic displayed when ACC is discussed. Which is why they don't. And I have yet to ask anyone that knew that number. They don't even want to know. And usually intentionally fail to understand the discussion of observed vs expected. for obvious reasons.

Thank you. That is the first thoughtful discussion of why section 230 should not apply to Twitter as a publisher, but should stay a platform. I don't necessarily agree as it sits. But, if they were to have clear policies, clear bans, clear notifications about bad content, and were FAIR, that would be different. But, as of now, you have no idea why, no recourse, can't talk to a human, and more importantly, there are tons of calls for violence, easy to find, that has been there for years that make the current system obviously arbitrary. They are just asking for anti-trust actions with their current behavior. Both Democrats and Republicans are making those noises.
