  1. That store clerk who met him outside sabotaged it. on Tesla Model S Owner Claims Vehicle Went Rogue Causing An Accident By Itself (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    I find it curious that nobody has explored the possibility the Tesla was hacked. I see clear opportunity, as well as potential motive.

  2. Re:Solve someone else's problem on 'I Know How To Program, But I Don't Know What To Program' (devdungeon.com) · · Score: 0

    Interesting, compelling even, if true. Deserves to be at least 1 not 0.

  3. Re:So.. Slackware? on Debian Dropping Support For Older CPUs (distrowatch.com) · · Score: 1

    Raspberry Pi would smoke these things...

    Believe it or not, the presence of a PCI bus on that K6 motherboard is going to give it a conspicuous disk I/O throughput advantage over the Pi that will allow it to pull out ahead in many real-world performance tests where you've come to take for granted having enough bus bandwidth.

    Up to Debian Wheezy at least, I can confirm it still worked fine on PII-450 with between 64MB and 512MB of ram, single processor or SMP, with or without X.

    Where do you live that there are bitcoin ATMs?

  7. Really useful data actually. on The Pirate Bay Gets a 'Massive' $9 in Donations Per Day (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Any serious bean counters/market analysts looking for accurate data on how much of piracy actually represents lost sales (situations where the customer actually had money and would have paid for the product if there were an option to do so) well there's your numbers; 9$ a day.

  8. Re:Capitalism has strengths on A Majority Of Millennials Now Reject Capitalism, Poll Shows (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Except we have laws to address all of these things, they're just poorly enforced, or too easily avoided with enough money. Its not a problem with by-the-book capitalism, its a problem with unethical parenting of 3 generations ago carrying itself as a self-perpetuating social disease over into subsequent generations even up to today. The apparent issues of capitalism are the symptom of this, not the cause.

    Nope, he had it right. Everything you just said is wrong.

  14. More human than human? on First Successful Gene Therapy Against Human Aging? (geekwire.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, sounds like at least it didn't kill her yet. What about other side-effects though? Super powers? Mutations? If it all goes badly wrong, I wonder if we'll ever hear about it?

  15. My worst fear.

    Young me: "Is that all it can do?"
    Teacher: "Yes."

  16. Indeed, the idea even of a universe that has a part we see and a part overlayed right on top of it/in it and through it that we cannot see, is much much older than that.

  17. Re:Yes... Vwery interesting... on Neil deGrasse Tyson Says It's 'Very Likely' The Universe Is A Simulation (extremetech.com) · · Score: 1

    Its not all so philosophically abstract as one might think initially examining the idea. All he's doing is pointing out that the raw odds that this is the "first time around" for our percieved timeline are actually infinitesimally small.

    I know what you're thinking; It does all feel so real though, doesn't it?

  18. Re:genital mutilation a possible factor on US Suicide Rate Surges To Highest Level In Almost Three Decades, Says Report (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I doubt directly to the practice itself, but botched circumcisions probably enter into the foundational emotional distress of at least a small percentage of unhappy men, especially ones that grew up in very poor and christian households.

  19. ... which is a nice straw-man argument that makes perfect sense until you realize that they're paying people half your age with less than half the experience twice as much as the salary you just turned down.

    Are you sure you're not just browsing above their moderation threshold? Maybe take a look at the double-sliders at the right end of the tool bar at the top of the comment section, between the comments and the article summary.

    But when he said this, opium was not synonymous with illicit drug abuse, it was synonymous with over-the-counter pain medication. Today he would have said something like "Religion is Advil for everybody."
