    I hate closed-source garments. I worry constantly about the security vulnerabilities that might be lurking in my shoes.

  3. I'm confused with this business... is the intent the fee per hash pays for operating costs (including hardware/electricty/facilities/humans) ... then the maintenance fee is skims profits off the coins mined?

  7. that sounds unconstitutional ... a running theme of the administration.

  8. Re:Suckers!! on Apple Beats Sales Estimates Amid Reports of Poor Demand For iPhone X (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1, Funny

    Apple is lying, they are broke, nobody is buying iPhones. Consumers want a basic phone with replaceable battery and open software stack. A music player that blocks any attempt to listen to pop music would be a nice option as well.

  9. They claim to have products, do they really qualify as a patent troll? I thought patent trolls just bought up crappy patents and try to collect on people who actually created products that are "close enough" to fool that corrupt judge down in TX. Still lame no matter what.

    Walk on home boy!

  11. Interesting on US Utilities Have Finally Realized Electric Cars May Save Them (qz.com) · · Score: 1

  14. Re:News for nerds on Concussions Can Be Detected With New Blood Test Approved by FDA. (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Brain stuff makes for interesting science. Nerds like science. We are nerds because of the capabilities of the human brain, otherwise we'd be smearing poop on cave walls right now.

    Football ... maybe not so interesting.

  15. well... on 'Productivity Is Dangerous' (theoutline.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    well that was a waste of time!

  18. Asking for a friend on SWIFT Says Hackers Still Targeting Bank Messaging System (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Asking for a friend ... if I recall the heist was 4 transfers totaling $81 Million, so at what point do multi million dollar transfers become an untraceable? At some point the money must leave the banking system but that is a lot of money to discreetly spend or cash out. I'm old and too lazy to read the articles.

    iPhone airplane mode only disables wifi and telephony. So buy an iPhone and some BT headphones.

  22. In suburban Boston area they are using a contractor in white vans to deliver package 7 days a week. I don't think it's the same as this program but they quality of delivery is terrible. They have driven over my lawn, performed drive by deliveries (thrown packages on the lawn) and delivered stuff but then reported it lost? I did get a refund the "lost" package and kept the merch ... *snort*

  23. I need to buy an app, can someone recommend one?

  24. not for me on Amazon Wants To Put a Camera and Microphone in Your Bedroom (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Like most geniuses I wear the same clothes everyday, so this has no value for me.
