  1. [Genesis 2:7]

  2. Problem is: in Seattle, Amazon is paying way more than a living wage and even the median wage; both have sharply risen due in part to Amazon. This has been one cause of the sharp increase in homelessness in Seattle (the others being drugs and mental illness).

    WAT?!

  3. How does a company pour all that technology, time, and money into something and trip up at the finish line? Was it that hard to find someone that understood security?

  4. Maybe? on Is IoT a Reason To Learn C? (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    I wrote a program a couple weeks ago that flashes a red light that alerts of a new Twitter post. Uses a RPi 3 and the program was written in Java.
    Java has the ability to run threaded tasks easily which I wanted for polling the Twitter website. I could of used cron I suppose.
    I assume C has something similar but I know Java and Raspbian has Java.

    Yeah, well Jack Dorsey doesn't need Trump anyways... He's currently listening to a band you probably never heard of while sipping a craft beer.

    That would be me. I'm a non-Trump supporter. I'm on the middle to left. TPP was extremely bad. Want to protest human rights violations by LG? TPP was bad.
    Want to boycott those lead laced toys from Shanghai? TPP was bad. If you like pirated content, TPP was bad.
    The only people that benefited from TPP were IP holders and large corporations like Walmart and Amazon.
    But bluegutang is right, I'm doubtful if Trump understands why educated members of the left are against TPP. Unless my conspiracy theory holds true and Trump is secretly a Marxist.

  8. They wouldn't need terrorism, the US would collapse into civil war.

  9. Re:As an EE and amateur aircraft manufacturer on Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Explodes In New York, Burns Six-Year-Old Boy (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    The problem is with the batteries becoming over-charged or over-discharged causing metallic lithium and oxygen bubbles to form. They react together and cause a fire. Either it's an issue with the protection circuitry failing to shut down the batteries when they are at max/min change (possibly an EE issue) or it's an issue with the batteries themselves not charging correctly such as reporting a false voltage and continuing to change or discharge (manufacturer issue). The latter is more likely since lipo protection circuitry is so common now they don't really need to reinvent the wheel, but trying to add an extra 1000 or so mAh to a battery could definitely cause a problem.

    Well you see... I have no idea who Maria Schneider is other than she doesn't know what racketeering means.
    Did Youtube demand money from her in exchange for fire, theft, and kneecap insurance?

    Instead of blowing up buildings and killing people (which for some sick reason boosts the economy) they would all get jobs as investment bankers and mortgage brokers.

  13. I'm running out of space.and use for them. I have a ARM based board I hacked into an internet radio player.
    A Raspberry PI in a retro-arcade setup. A 5? year old i7 running Win7 (Why upgrade the CPU? It's the graphics card doing all the work in my rig),
    Also I have a cheapo tablet I use for watching Youtube while enjoying a bubble bath.
    There's just no point in buying any more or upgrading an entire computer at this point.

    A young attractive woman can get a $250,000/yr job working as one of my whores.
    I ascertained this after conducting an extensive employee survey study and some bitch slapping.

  20. Depends, if there were thousands, maybe even millions of Steve Jobs out there being dicks would they all obtain the same level of success as the original?
    Is there a maximum dick level or does it just continue on until it reaches super villainy levels like in Kingsman?
    Also wasn't it his dickness that ultimately killed him? Instead of seeing a regular doctor he decided that following the rantings of a witch doctor were a better course of action for his cancer treatment.

  23. Re:Am I a hipster? on Canadian Piracy Rates Plummet As Industry Points To New Copyright Notice System · · Score: 1

    I thought to be a true hipster you need to like something ironically. However, having said that, my definition is when a group of people form a temporary sub-culture
    surrounding something new. (ie. vaping) I actually like 80's TV, so my downloading Emergency! is covered under nostalgia. I also like MST3K, I think that falls
    under geekism nerdaphile, whatever. Other than that, my piracy comes in other forms now, far more ingenious than the primitive torrents of yesteryear.
    Well, IPTV anyway.
