Jarmak posted:Piping in from the last thread to point out that Comey's testimony is not remotely hearsay and I'm not sure what you guys are talking about. Hearsay goes to the truth of the matter asserted not whether it was asserted. I don't think anyone was trying to say Comey's experiences were hearsay? I think everyone was in agreement that it wasn't hearsay. Except maybe the nothing matters nihilism group.

Hexyflexy posted:And lol, as someone that's spent quite a bit of their life working on A.I. / automation software, we're so hosed in terms of working out how to provide jobs for people in the next 50 years it's beyond funny. To an extent. Automation of the workforce is nothing new. Pilots and bus drivers will find themselves out of jobs in the next 50 years, but people working in skilled trades will remain employed because we're nowhere close to having AI capable of soldering pipes or wiring up a breaker panel.

I knew so many people growing up who were on disability. A lot of them did have legitimate injuries from working in construction or what have you, but could have worked in basically any other industry.

Something like 20 legislative seats in VA are unopposed, despite some of them going to Warner/Clinton. There's quite a few grassroots organizations that are funding people to run against the incumbents this year.

Hot Karl Marx posted:Are phishing scams super hard to detect now or something? They still point to a website that isn't actually google/apple/whatever, so are people just not checking these things when they work in really secure places? They've gotten more creative. The bulk are still dumb and obvious as poo poo, but nation-state actors and serious criminals can pair them with DNS hijacking, stolen certificates, and other techniques to make it difficult to detect when a website is not legitimate.

Handsome Ralph posted:To be honest, I wasn't expecting too much from Comey. I think he's going to be muted to a degree so as not to impair Mueller's investigation. I thought his lawyer said he has been told there are no restrictions? Which probably means it's going to be a letdown. Either way, it's wasting another week of Trump's time in office. Which is a good thing.

Casimir Radon posted:Canoeing is shooting a dead body in the forehead at an angle so it digs out a canoe shaped divot. It's a stupid practice invented by Seals. One of the idiots who claimed to be the Bin Laden killer allegedly did it to him despite being told not to shoot him in the face so identification didn't get screwed up. This seems like something that was invented an E4 who went through basic with a guy who eventually became a SEAL and he told me it's definitely something they do, you guys. Except nobody's ever actually done it because it's impractical and also fucks up identification.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:"Here's an idea - let's honor someone who got a bunch of our friends and coworkers killed for fabricated reasons!" Iraq made the Army relevant again. I'm not even joking: polls from before 2003 listed the airforce as the most important service, whereas polls after 2003 listed the Army. So hosed up nobles probably view this as a good thing.

I don't get the south. I was in Huntsville this week and a dude in a coal rolling pickup was sporting Confederate plates. But if it weren't for NASA egg heads from Stanford and MIT (and frankly, a bunch of Nazi rocket scientists), Huntsville would still be a depressed loving poo poo hole like 95% of Alabama.
