Agreed. This is the first debate I've actually bothered to watch since at least before Trump's first campaign, but it's the single most orderly one I can remember. Even at the best of times, it was the norm to start talking over each other and go off topic to repeat the one talking point they...

Well, Trump is also going to lose the popular vote in that scenario. It's not possible for a Republican to win the popular vote and lose the Electoral College, due to the demographics involved.

I assumed as much. The fact that the new agreement actually forbids using arbitration tells me that there's something sinister at play. You don't tell people not to do something unless they have a valid reason to want to.

Meanwhile, Steam got rid of their arbitration clause this week. I wonder what motivated that.

Wait, it released on disc before streaming this time? No wonder it sold out so fast. I thought the Sar Chasm was a pretty good gag. Both the name and what it did.

The really crazy thing about this story is that OpenAI was founded by two people, one of them was Elon Musk, and it's the other guy who's to blame for this move while Musk is the one criticizing it and even claiming it's illegal. (It is not.) Well, golly, Elon, I guess you'd better spend some...

Literally "lie back and think of England" all over again

Wonko has a point about mass transit—it's a lot harder to explain what you were doing getting behind the wheel after a night at the pub when there's a bus stop only a block away, and a lot easier when there's not and the only alternative is sleeping it off in the alley out back—but Uber and Lyft...

"And I'll look down and whisper... no."

Now we just have to see if Hezbollah is essentially a hydra that will live on no matter how many heads you cut off. These types of organizations tend to be.

Maybe it varies by state. I could see some knee-deep-in-the-red states still letting people off with a slap on the wrist for beating their wives, if only because all the legislators and cops beat theirs too.

I wouldn't bet on AI; the one thing it's gotten good at is producing grammatically correct English. It's the facts that it tends to pull out of its digital ass.

Their policy of passing roles on to existing members of the Henson Company troupe instead of letting outsiders audition has definitely been detrimental. Sesame Street did an anniversary special a while back, and I could really tell which of the Muppets had been recast. Even Eric Jacobson, who...

Is the IP even really of any value now that Jones isn't associated with it? I don't even know who took over when he got kicked off.

Because "bait and switch" is enforced by the government, but politicians are the government. What are you supposed to do, create your own government with blackjack and hookers and appoint them power over the real one?

"Why isn't the media reporting on this?" says a terminally online person linking to an article on a mainstream news site. "I know, right?" chime in all the people who don't even read the news anymore and just wait for stuff to trickle in through their social networks.

Funny you should say that, I saw a commercial on YouTube just today for some tool called "Focal" or something that claims you can just feed it a script and it'll spit out a whole-ass movie. There are definitely people who are going to champion this tech as an "equalizer", you know, now anyone...

And anyway, is this really helping Trump? I'd argue that making it look like he's doomed would help him more, by discouraging people from going out of their way to vote against him. You know, like exactly what happened in 2016.

I think the bigger story, and the bigger concern, is that Montana does online voting, which is inherently a terrible idea that should never be attempted by anyone ever.

After the results came in, I was thinking it's a shame more people didn't take a clue from how badly the Tories were projected to get owned and that they had plenty of leeway to vote third party for a change. But now I'm thinking the current Labour party would have just formed a coalition with...
