Can we stop calling conspiracy theorists "truthers?"

True. Surely it's less dense than buildings, trees and the fact that 50k watts doesn't mean much when you don't have line of sight (Earth curvature) which is, even with the some of the highest towers is only 63 miles.

Would be interesting to do the math on the density comparison though.

Study harder and drink less in college.

I wasn't onboard with the comparisons to Hitler though, I would haved liked if we could keep the comparing of a CEO of a tech company to a genocidal dictator to a minimum, but I wasn't her biggest fan either.

Well that had to happen. It's a law.

Well if there was nothing between your car and the radio station, you wouldn't have a problem either.

Edit: It seems the satellites they are using to communicate are on the Earth's surface, so there is atmosphere in the way. But still the dishes are pretty big compared to your car antenna.

Okay yeah that's right I have noticed that. However, even if you don't like the video, as far as I understand, it's not reason to downvote. So if it's really bad, troll, hate, spam etc, is it too much to ask to pop in the comments and downvote?

I could see this backfiring if more spam accounts pop up, but if downvoting requires some effort and an account is being downvoted quite a bit, it should be flagged for admin review.

The top 10% have had increases. The rest have decreased.

So the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer.

It cannot sustain. See this TED talk by Nick Hanauer

Thanks for the information. In case you didn't see my idea over in one of the /ideas threads:

What if the downvote button was only available inside the snap itself. It wouldn't prevent legitimate downvoting, but it would prevent people from just downvoting from the frontpage.

If you're going to downvote, you should at least look inside the snap in case there is more information, related links or relevant comments.

Already you can't click through to an article without going to the snap first anyway (unless I'm missing something).

Thoughts?

Every day's better than the next!

When asked how it's going. Say it somewhat enthusiastically and the person will think it's a positive, when in fact it's stating that every day is getting worse.

I found the article weak and was going to post a bunch of questions and try to poke holes but then I watched the related John Oliver video posted and it answered all my questions. I'd highly recommend the video.

"They call their subreddits, 'tribes.'" LOL I didn't know subreddit was a generic term now.

You're probably right. However, imagine if (and it's a big if) the new technology used the best parts of all the sites and now you have 5 different sites' users all combined. Isn't it better from a dating perspective to have everyone available to you for the best match possible? Sorry I'm not being very convincing here but I think you get my point.

This is a game changer. Hangouts need this ASAP if it wants to be taken seriously as the next SMS app.
