o0-0o··on The USPS is running a 'covert' program to monitor Americans' social media posts
It is also the only agency named in the constitution. The others are all fluff. At least that’s what I was taught!
o0-0o··on 35% of Bitcoin mining is powered by one coal mine in China
Wow, that is a lot of CO2 emissions.

Very cool. Now please, work on Myelo Fibrosis next!
o0-0o··on Daft Punk – Epilogue
I saw them in a muddy field in Wisconsin the first time they played in the US, before they hid their faces. Cool guys. Setup on a card table, and killed those acid lines. Was cool to see France step up hard. For anyone interested, Kurt from Drop Bass Network brought them to fame here. Shout out to Midwest Hard Corps! Massive, represent!

o0-0o··on Show HN: Discover $ monthly revenue of OnlyFans models
If this is accurate, I wonder what the tax implications are for the IRS et al.
o0-0o··on Caste discrimination in some of Silicon Valley's richest tech companies
Let me clarify my point here. It was not that I 'saw people asking for opinions', it was the whole interaction. Literally, is was shocking. The silence, the agreement, and everything else. People that had made a point before were afraid to express it. People that were speaking did not speak anymore. The incorrect path was taken, and it was not the first time I've seen this behavior. I look up everything I suspect online, and I don't think that's making a leap. It is simply using tools available to shine a light on the truth.
o0-0o··on Caste discrimination in some of Silicon Valley's richest tech companies
I have witnessed this as well, and it has been absolutely shocking and disgusting. Here is my experience. I am leading a meeting with about four native Indians that were here in America, and a couple that were dialed in from India. The meeting was with a large US based financial institution. Towards the end of the call, a senior member of the team joined. The mood of the meeting changed entirely. Everyone on the call kept asking for his opinion and what he thought, and he had nothing to add and no context about anything we had been discussing. I thought that was weird, and then started googling their last names and caste systems in India on a hunch. Yep, it was the reason, I deduced. I have no proof, but if I were a betting man... I always thought the highest castes in India were religious, so it seems like this is a battle between the castes lower than that. Regardless, there is no place for this in America.
o0-0o··on How to waste your career, one comfortable year at a time
The section of the article titled, "Complacency is Cancer" is, in my opinion, very offensive to those with cancer and their loved ones. I personally get very offended with this hyperbole.
o0-0o··on Some Facebook Employees Unite to Challenge Its ‘Intolerant’ Liberal Culture
Cry me a river. I am not even gay and people yell fag at me in Bushwick all the time. Time to grow up dude. Sticks and stones...
o0-0o··on YC China and Qi Lu
China is 3000 years years old and still considered an emerging market. Why do you think that is?
o0-0o··on Two-thirds of users in Indonesia and Nigeria think FB is the Internet (2015)
This is sad. If any money from FB has been spent correcting this misperception it would be nice to know.
o0-0o··on Apple has removed Infowars podcasts from iTunes
I agree with you, but Apple also has the right to not be a muppet with Alex’s hand up its ass controlling the mouth. Just like anyone this offends can not purchase Apple product. I think this ultimately hurts Apple though, and is more of a political statement from pinkos. Mature businesses make capital decisions at 51/49 all day.
o0-0o··on In 2017, US had largest decline in CO2 emissions
Before I even looked at this, I just knew commie china would be leading the offenders. Too bad we couldnt just install a big dome over them and see what happens.

Since there is no global government every citizen on Earth votes for, the premise of this argument is unfounded.
o0-0o··on Trump Plans New Curbs on Chinese Investment, Tech Exports to China
Besides being short on sources and facts and being overly emotional I wonder what you meN by, Orange man... Is that some kind of racist statement about POTUS?

o0-0o··on Poor people pay for parking even when they can’t afford a car
Somehow I doubt your support of home schools. Even though the students perform better.
o0-0o··on ‘No Vacancy’ Signs Are Vanishing from America’s Highways
Great comment. These posts are far too rare here.
o0-0o··on Donald Trump will now control drone assassinations and mass surveillance
Trump doesn't want to drone people and spy on Americans. Drone strikes will go down and so will mass surveillance of Americans.
o0-0o··on New Emails in Clinton Case Came from Anthony Weiner’s Electronic Devices
Not sure why you're being downvoted, but you're 100% correct. The 10,000+ emails they are now looking at came from a shared computer. I wonder if Carlos Danger turned them over to the NYPD. The FBI still doesn't have a warrant for them.
o0-0o··on New Emails in Clinton Case Came from Anthony Weiner’s Electronic Devices
Remember that Huma Abedin also had her devices seized as part of this investigation. Likely, the emails are on her device.
o0-0o··on FBI Reopens Clinton E-Mail Probe Less Than Two Weeks Before Vote
Methinks that Comey is factoring in a Trump win, and that the 33,000 deleted emails are coming out before election day.
o0-0o··on FBI Reopens Clinton E-Mail Probe Less Than Two Weeks Before Vote
They are in fact re-opening so they can ammend the findings. If it is determined that new emails warrant charges, she may be charged.

The real news story here is that this is what everyone will be talking about for the next weekend, that's three days, with a response by her on Monday. So, maybe four days. That's more than 30% of the remaining election cycle.

As Trump would say. This is big league.

o0-0o··on Apple CEO Tim Cook on Virtual Reality: “There’s No Substitute for Human Contact”
I was referring strictly to virtual reality and not augmented reality.
o0-0o··on Apple CEO Tim Cook on Virtual Reality: “There’s No Substitute for Human Contact”
This past weekend I was at Desert Trip in California, and I got the chance to talk to neighbors from Austral-Asia, Europe, and the US. This was a diverse group to say the least, ad we were all camping next to another on 408th and Broadway. The conversation got onto VR, and we all agreed, without a doubt that their is no substitute for human contact and that the whole term Virtual Reality was a contradiction and a not very slick marketing term. No one wanted anything to do with VR. In fact, the conversation about VR was so disgusting to all of us, we all had to just drop it. NO ONE wanted VR, and any company betting on it is betting against the house and the players at the same time. We all thought the big bets could be used for much better causes. Just some info.
