Every 4 years, hundreds of millions of people set their conscience to the side and continue to vote for the thing they'll complain about until the next time, when they do it all again.

I see lots of people talking about how bad this is, but I haven't seen anyone talk about it in light of Trump's utter mishandling of Hurricane Maria.

It's been 7 years but it's absolutely salt in the wound.

Maybe if there were a story in a book about people not listening to NOAA and they were destroyed in a massive flood. Maybe, just maybe, that would help them understand.

It's sad how much this will hurt good people who work for the Washington Post and how little this will affect Bezos.

And a $199 stand for it, sold separately.

I think they think Donald Trump is the standard. It's important to remember that he isn't. That's an easy comparison, and some roadkill wins that contest. Being better than the worst isn't enough of a selling point. 2016 proved that. Be better.

So many options for the title:

Jiminy Cricket is a Putin plant.

America's Collective Conscience: Misguided or Manchurian Candidate?

Ask not what your country can do for genocide, ask what genocide can do for your country.

Intel has been on the i3, i5, i7 naming scheme for a while though. I think the oldest ones are probably ~15 years old at this point.

I get that ads pay for a free internet. But that doesn't mean that 60% of my screen needs to be malware to read a local news article.

Until advertisers act in good faith, I block as much as possible.

Just some advice to anyone who finds themselves in this specific situation, since I found myself in almost the exact same situation:

If you really, really want to keep the data, and you can afford to spend the money (big if), move it to AWS. I had to move almost 4.5PB of data around Christmas of last year out of Google Drive. I spun up 60 EC2 instances, set up rclone on each one, and created a Google account for each instance. Google caps downloads per account to 10TB per day, but the EC2 instances I used were rate limited to 60MBps, so I didn't bump the cap. I gave each EC2 instance a segment of the data, separating on file size. After transferring to AWS, verifying the data synced properly, and building a database to find files, I dropped it all to Glacier Deep Archive. I averaged just over 3.62GB/s for 14 days straight to move everything. Using a similar method, this poor guy's data could be moved in a few hours, but it costs, a couple thousand dollars at least.

Bad practice is bad practice, but you can get away with it for a while, just not forever. If you're in this situation, because you made it, or because you're cleaning up someone else's mess, you're going to have to spend money to fix it. If you're not in this situation, be kind, but thank god you don't have to deal with it.

It's not homeschooling, it's unschooling.

My parents were both teachers at private or Christian schools while I grew up, and every year, there'd always be a new couple of kids who's parents couldn't quite hack it anymore, so they'd send them to school. But couldn't bear to send their kids to those secular, godless, evolution teaching, sex driven, minority filled public schools, so they'd send them to my school instead.

Those kids were always some of the dumbest, most ignorant people on the planet. Some figure it out, but most don't. They just double down. They were usually barely literate, couldn't do math, and had no social skills. It's how you end up with a 19 year old freshman who can't read Dr. Seuss.

I know teachers aren't paid much, but if you have the audacity to say that you can do a better job than 4 or 5 professionals at teaching your kid every subject, you should have to take a test to be certified, and your kid needs testing too. Some states require it, most don't, and it shows.

You can literally fit the entire text on your phone

But not the photos, video, or audio. And I can't serve it to hundreds of millions of people from my phone. This truly one of the stupidest things a tech CEO has ever said.

Building a Plex server with every TV show and movie on Netflix is easy. Distributing that data to 300 million of your friends daily is where the cost is.

Using his ass-stupid logic, Xitter is worth a small box of USB drives I can pick up at Dollar General because the text from every Xeet fits on them? Might actually be true.
