Comment Re:Azov Brigade (Score 1) 149

When Russia invades and takes over Crimea and no one does anything, it makes a lot of sense that Ukraine would try to become friendly with the EU and the USA. If Trump wasn't a puppet for Putin, including cutting off supplies of military supplies prior to Russia invading Ukraine, then Russia wouldn't have felt emboldened enough to invade.

Comment Intel needs a real president, not CEO (Score 1) 45

A CEO is entirely about Wall Street and trying to improve the stock price for shareholders. The problem is that a CEO by nature doesn't care how well the company is doing as long as the stock price is high, or can be manipulated to go higher. A president cares about the company and making the company do well. Wall Street is the reason all of these corporations have been going downhill for decades, because short term profits are more important to the Wall Street crowd than long-term health. A company that says they are focused on products and long-term health gets very little attention or support from Wall Street.

You have gone off on a bit of a tangent to the issue. The power generation could come from solar or anything else, but it still comes down to, "if new power generation is needed to supply power to these devices, then those who draw the most power should be the ones to pay for the infrastructure and other higher costs. Basically, my bills shouldn't go up just because someone decides to start a power hungry business that doesn't benefit me or the rest of society.

Comment Make these companies pay (Score 3, Insightful) 30

What it is time for is to make these corporations pay for not just the power they draw, but also the increased infrastructure expenses that are being passed on to EVERYONE just so individual companies can make a profit. If an electric company needs to build new generators, pay for infrastructure/distribution upgrades, and all of that just for these companies that want to profit from AI, then these companies should pay for ALL of it, not just the power used.

Comment Re:A state that can't solve age an age old matter! (Score 2) 73

Because Republicans will cry about spending money to buy huge buildings to house the homeless, then you need security, plus making sure that food is also available. How many people will complain about the amount of money being spent to actually deal with a problem instead of just blaming others and doing nothing?

Comment Re:Game it (Score 1) 154

There is nothing free about the meals, but if people post about their experiences when going out for a meal, including how good or bad the service was, what mistakes were made, that the food was "bland" as a reason for giving a lower review, then it makes sense that those providing a high end dining experience will want to know about this stuff to provide the best possible experience. For a $500 meal, you'd expect nothing less than EVERYTHING being superb, and that means making sure that things that bother people are not there.

Now, if you want to "game the system", by making sure that your experience eating there isn't good because you provided incorrect information, that's just you looking for an excuse to rate the experience lower.

Think about it another way, if you know that Donald Trump was going to be there, setting things up where there are a lot of attractive women around the place would probably be in order, just knowing he is a womanizer who would be very happy if there were a large selection of prostitutes around to take care of his extra desires that are not a part of the menu.

Comment People complain about security all the time (Score 1) 12

When malicious apps make it onto the big stores, people keep demanding that the default be to not allow just anything to get installed. So, it makes sense that Google(which already has an option to allow installing from untrusted sources), and Samsung will both default to, "no, you can't just install stuff from ANYWHERE without manually turning that ability on". Epic just doesn't like that people need to turn on the ability to install their store. By saying you want to allow installing from an another source, you now can no longer complain or sue if your device gets malicious apps installed.
