Right, but both Johnson and Stein are considerably more awful than either of the major party candidates, so I don't see how that solves anything.
The House would then pick for you from Clinton, Trump, and Johnson - how is that better?

blacks, colored people or whatever the politically correct term today is
It's none of those. Try again.

The monkey was paralyzed, and died 9 days later - that is a pretty low bar for "successful".

The problem, of course, is that Disney is evolving into the most liberal, subversive, and prosperous studio on the block.
Is it really? I wonder if you had anything specific in mind?
Maybe I'm just not as familiar with their movies, but my impression seems to be quite the opposite, especially with Disney/Marvel - war is awesome (fuck yea!), women are for decoration and/or manpain, gay people don't exist - isn't that about as non-liberal a viewpoint as it gets?
Aren't they just now starting to get out of the "token black guy" phase?

That was my point - what Comcast was doing was bullshit, but how is it relevant to this article?

I'd like to get the unlimited internet minus the $30 TV service, thank you.
I'd like fully bidirectional 200Mbps for $25/month.
What are we playing?

Cable (as in TV, not internet) cutters have to pay $30 for unlimited data. If you also pay for spoon-fed propaganda, er, I mean, TV, then you don't have to pay any *extra* to avoid the cap.
And?

They provide two levels of service, to get the better service you either pay more money or also purchase a separate service from them.
What part of this is the outrage? This is just how buying things works.
When some companies had caps on "unlimited" plan, that was obvious bullshit. (I hit the cap with Comcast a couple of times, they told me that bandwidth wasn't the aspect of the service that was unlimited)
What's all the whining about here, though?

A modern CRC32 implementation, on a modern CPU can reach a throughput of 10GB/s (https://blog.fastmail.com/2015/12/03/the-search-for-a-faster-crc32/), I really doubt that's much of a bottleneck.

Interestingly, all the confident proclamations about AI we hear these days are made by tech field "thought leaders", "futurists", and other such rabble.
I have not heard any from actual AI researchers in quite some time.

What is actually wrong with you?
Julia is a useful niche language with a sizable community, not some bullshit vanity project. Unfortunately it has not chance of dislodging R, and I'll never understand the decision to make it dynamic, but it fills a role that nothing else does, at the moment.
Also, I have no idea what you think the word "hipster" means, or why you're so angry about it.

Considering that an F-16 is "capable of carrying nuclear weapons", that's not all that impressive in a bomber.

2. If you are using names make sure you know which one is greater. Ubuntu method of going up alphabetically is a good example.
I use Medoc Grads Crus in increasing order of subjective quality - pretty much as obvious as it gets.
