  1. Re:Has Wikileaks jumped the shark? on 4Chan Hackers Claim To Have Remotely Wiped John Podesta's iPhone and iPad (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Not everyone has the same number or size of skeletons in the closet. It is just possible that Trump is not a multiple felon, or alternatively that he was competent at getting rid of the evidence. There is no reason that Hillary or Podesta could not of deleted all of this incriminating evidence from their own devices long before anyone hacked them.

  2. An Alternative Viewpoint on Milo Yiannopoulos Wants To Buy 4Chan, Promises Free Speech Haven (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 1

    I dislike the man quite a lot. But completely agree, there is no one else I know of that I would trust quite as much to keep/improve the free speech aspect of 4chan.

  3. Hating Old People on More Software Engineers Over Age 40 May Join a Lawsuit Against Google (yahoo.com) · · Score: 0

    Personally, I doubt this has anything to do with if old people have the skills for the job, but a cultural one. Did you see the backlash from Brexit? The youth of today do not believe anyone over 29 should be allowed to vote as old people simply do not believe in the same things that the youth do. Perhaps if these 40-somethings went to the interview in a "*uck Trump" or "Black Lives Matter" t-shirt they might stand a better chance. But baring some form of virtue signaling the 20-something interviewee is likely to think that you look too much like the old fella that he stole a Trump 2016 yard sign from the day before.

  4. You would think with the incredible amount of job hopping that goes on nowadays, there simple is no one being hired right out of college, and then putting in 40 year in that company before retiring, that companies would prefer 35-50 year olds who are settled and who will not upend their life's to get a new job in some other city.

    And a boat cannot do a damned thing unless it is placed in a river. What does that have to do with anything?

  6. I think that is the point. The officers are in know enough know exactly when they are being recorded. And yet we do not see any statistical anomalies that show that they act differently. But all the criminals likely know is that some big body-cam roll out happened last year and everything is not being recorded. It is likely how everyone drives slower because their might be a cop around the next corner. In this situation, it is exactly because their is never any change that outcome that primary change must of been in the behavior of the criminals.

  7. Re:Democrat misinformation on Julian Assange: All That Malware On Wikileaks Isn't a Big Deal (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    Well it is incredibly important for Wikileaks to not play an editorial role. Then they would be supplying opinions, not raw data.

  8. Re:Too many problems to even be able to quantify on Sandpoint Town Square Home To First Public Solar Roadways Panel Installation (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    You cannot install heaters in roadways because roadways are conditionally cracking and warping. Their would be like hundreds of thousands of electric fires per year, and no way to fix anything without ripping up the entire road.

  9. Re:Why do you have to be prepared for it? on Elon Musk: First Humans Who Journey To Mars Must 'Be Prepared To Die' (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Because success always comes down to correctly navigating emergencies. And if we send someone up there who will go a cry in a corner the second it looks like he is definitely going to die than we might as well of just stayed on Earth.

    So they own some ridiculous patent like using physical keys on any mobile device or some shit?

  11. I did not see any reddit posts asking how to use a VPN.

  12. Re:how is this still relevant? on Oversight Orders Reddit To Preserve Deleted Posts In Clinton Investigation (thehill.com) · · Score: 2

    The biggest thing right now, from my understanding, is that Combetta had immunity, with the condition he did not hide or lie about anything. From my understanding he has now lost that. Now even if Hillary does not go to jail, her IT guy sure looks like he will.

  13. Today NK, Tomorrow Hillary on Reddit Brings Down North Korea's Entire Internet (mirror.co.uk) · · Score: 2
  14. I disagree completely. Primitive simple weapons are the only dangerous ones. Who cares if technical documents for a hundred billion dollar rocket that takes a team of 500 scientists and engineers to produce and will break down in 5 minutes without a staff of the mostly highly skilled operators and maintainers running 24/7. Now give out technical specifications some naked jungle man can actually use to upgrade his pointy stick to a AK47 and you have something that is actually going to make a difference to national security.

    That said, allowing citizens to make fun of Putin online is a far bigger threat to national security than any weapons specs becoming public knowledge.

  15. Secret? on North Korea Has Just 28 Websites (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Wait, so it is a big secret which publicly facing pages a country has registered? What is the point of making name servers black boxes and not having any way of know which names are registered other than to try them and see if they exist?

  16. Re:Too bad they're not up on the current studies on How Cities Are Using Dry Ice To Kill Rats (usatoday.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    I really do not think there is a solution that involves not killing them. If you stopped killing rats for 4 months there would literally be something like a hundred times as many rats as there were before. They would explode out of the sewers and eat small children and babies in their cribs. Their ability to reproduce exponentially would mean that every edible morsel of food in the area, whether human, pet, or more generic foodstuff, would necessarily be converted into more rats within a few years time.

  17. From what I understand he was not even her ex exactly at the time. The first video was just her form of a dear john letter.

  18. This. If you just ignore it Verizon, or any company, can just claim you owe any amount of money they want and economically you will owe this until you contest it.

  19. town, village, and city? on New EU Rules Promise 100Mbps Broadband and Free Wi-Fi For All (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    OK, so the people who can already get 100Mb for pennies a day get an even better deal, and the people stuck on with plans calling for hundreds of dollars for a satellite dish installation and still only 10Mb for loads more money per month get nothing?

  20. How? on iOS 10, Released Today, Is Causing Issues For Some Users (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I don't understand how anyone can have trouble with Apple updates. They lock down their hardware and software so much that there are probably only three-five different devises this update will propagate to. It is not like Microsoft where their are literally trillions of combinations of hardware that every update must support.

  21. Tower's Power Light on Why Sys-Admins Are Disabling The Lights on WiFi Access Points (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    My last tower's power light was just insane. I used to put multiple layers of tape over it as one layer of opaque tape was not nearly enough. Even during the day, if pointed in your general direction it was painful, and even when pointed away at night it would raise the ambient light level of the room enough to be annoying to sleep with. You could read by it, it must of been equivalent to a ~5 watt light bulb of something in that category. Probably something like 20 times brighter than any other indicator light I have seen before or since.

    Which does not solve one of the main issues. You still have a hundred pounds of stuff in your basement with the energy density of dynamite. There is no way to make that safe within unknown extreme environments like a building fire.

  23. And power. I have a device that charges over the 35mm jack. Its basically just a mini usb port that is far easier to use.
