  1. Re:Apparently faulty algorithm? on Amazon 'Reviewing' Its Website After It Suggested Bomb-Making Items (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    That is awesome! Of course, it is a "problem" and someone is working to start mucking with the algorithm by short circuiting it with a blacklisted mapping database because I cant find out how to make black powder or thermite in less than a minute?

    Had no idea how many vagina cases were available for the iPhone.

  3. Re: Seems like non-Apple people care more about lo on Developer Marco Arment Shares Thoughts On iPhone X's Notch (marco.org) · · Score: 1

    When I first read the story about a "notch" I fully expected to see the entire case notched out in a ridiculous attempt to differentiate and patent a new design. Seeing the stupid bar across the screen led to both disappointment and restoration of my faith in the human race.

  4. Your sentiment is a clear demonstration of the antagonistic attitude towards business in America.

  5. Tax corporations, you tax me more. Corporations do not pay taxes. Their customers do.

  8. Re: In other words on Facebook Enabled Advertisers To Reach 'Jew Haters' (propublica.org) · · Score: 1

    The whole reason for the mass hysteria around anything "jew" and political correctness is to suppress anti-zionism. There are a lot of Jews who speak out against or do not ascribe to zionism and they too are suppressed in media and wherever else under the banner of being "antisemitism."

    suppression makes it worse

    ....and now that they are actively attempting to "solve" this problem there is no way to reach these people through FB in order to possibly educate them and cure the hate. Value eroded.

    "Face unlock isn't new, not even to Apple."

    Yeah...it is one of those features you say "hey! my phone can do this..." and you never use it again. What the hell is wrong with Apple?

  12. Yeah, are they going to sell cigarette papers and glass pipes and alcohol out of these things? What a wash.

    Same here...we don't keep the real SSN of celebs or execs in the database. They are exempt.

    PII data is not well regulated in the US. People are much more concerned with card numbers than your personal information.

    Nothing to see here plebs....the FTC is on it and justice right around the corner. You can now quietly put this baby to bed in your mind and wait for the next distraction.

    Profit is profit. The reason for profit is to reinvest into the business.

    MBS was a result of the easy loans. The government mandated shit loans, those in the business saw it and made mass smack betting on the known eventual failure.

    I trashed the textbooks and stupid charts and calculations in college when I found the Friedman and Sowell videos on YouTube. Turned in the homeworkl, used the rest of the time to watch all of thier videos. Turns out econ is just common sense.

    It is not a cost cutting measure. It is pure, raw, unadulterated incompetency.

    I disagree. Leave the penalty the same and the invisible hand will eliminate the breaches and security hole.
