The French will never agree.

Their stance has always been, if France is threatened we will use every weapon in our arsenal.

They do not have end the world stocks of nukes like the US or Russia so their attitude is, “Fuck with us and we will end you.”

Yes. And 75% of car driver believe they are above average as well…

Capitalism also needs a functioning environment to continue…

If you are going all the way back, movie wise, you can start at Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Khan as the first one is not the strongest.

2, 3 and 4 make a good trilogy.

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

Made mid '80’s.

If you had been a fly on the wall, you would have seen the lines on the table…

Well, at least the front hasn’t fallen off.

Cool.

Let the short selling begin.

Give them advice about how to do it to someone else.

The vast majority of people (i include myself in this) will fuck it up in some way and end up harming themselves. If you seek to destroy someone’s life and you don’t actually end it, you leave behind someone who has nothing left to lose and is highly motivated to find who is responsible.

If you destroy someone’s life they may end yours.

Still worthy of pity

Not from me. They are adults, they made their bed. Their children are the real victims.

To be happy at other people’s misfortune is not ok.

I honestly don’t think this applies here. This is a direct result of their own actions. No one forced them.

To me this is a case of: You reap what you sow.

Did you read the comment you replied to or did you just spit out this pre-packaed reply that addresses nothing the original comment raised?

Simply put.

We wouldn’t notice anything.

Our perception of the world would be based only on the compute cycles and not on any external time-frame.

The machine could run at a Million Billion hertz or at one clock-cycle per century and your perception of time inside the machine would be the same.

Same with low ram, we would have no indication if we were constantly being paged out to a hard drive and written back to ram as required.

Greg Egan gave a great explanation of this in the opening chapter of his Novel Permutation City

It is as realistic as that other nature documentary, Sharknado.

Nah, that will come 3 months later when to keep providing a world class service they will have to discontinue the free accounts.

But don’t worry, they will give existing customers great upgrade deals.

unlimited file transfers, unlike competitors.

Looking into my crystal ball…

I give this 2-3 months before file transfers are limited due to multi-terrabyte daily transfers from accounts hosting pirated media.

and might even get better

I honestly doubt it. I don’t think it is possible for reddit to be profitable in anything like its current form.

Twitter, before the EM implosion, had managed one profitable year in the last decade.

Reddit has about 2 orders of magnitude less users than twitter.

Those users are much less attractive to advertisers because reddit knows fuck all about them compared to twitter.

Reddit surfed through the years of cheap vc money but going public could kill it.

Don’t worry Captain, it is logical. The needs of the many outweigh

The needs of the few

…or the one.

Are we still doing phrasing?

Not technically.

The country’s formal title is: The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

Northern Ireland is not part of Britain
