  1. Don't worry, we will soon invent the replicator and you can make all you want. Of course, it will be powered by a coal fired electrical plant.

  2. Are they working on new chips? on Intel Says Newer Chips Also Hit by Unwanted Reboots After Patch (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Is Intel developing new chips that don't have this problem? Are they going to be slower, too?

  3. God I hope so on Amazon Won't Say If It Hands Your Echo Data To the Government (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Then they will have to listen to all the nonsense my kids make it do on a daily basis. It will drive them mad.

  4. Then where will future Lyft drivers come from? on Lyft Says Nearly 250K of Its Passengers Ditched a Personal Car In 2017 (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Bad business case. If everyone is getting rid of their cars and taking Lyft, where are they going to get cheap drivers to work for Lyft?

    Do you think they can be any more rude?

    Yes! We need to move to a much better God-forsaken shithole!

  9. Re:It means that they can tax him ... on Ecuador Grants Citizenship To WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Wikileaks has to have money somewhere. Ecuador can tap into that to recoup the money.

  10. Re:$30+ fees? on Bitcoin Conference Stops Accepting BTC Due To High Fees (bitcoin.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes, Bitcoin has turned into more of an investment strategy than an actual currency. Unless the system is designed to drive down transaction fees, it will never be a viable currency.

  11. Why do we have a mobile world congress? on Samsung Will Unveil the Galaxy S9 Next Month At Mobile World Congress (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    Who elected them? Is there an app for that?

  13. Re:Payload did not separate on Rumors Swirl That Secret Zuma Satellite Launched By SpaceX Was Lost (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    Not long term, but you think they would have given it another orbit or two for say, 90 more minutes, to try something.

  14. Re:Payload did not separate on Rumors Swirl That Secret Zuma Satellite Launched By SpaceX Was Lost (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    This doesn't really make sense. The second stage appears to have functioned normally. An airline pilot flying over Africa actually took a picture of the stage performing its normal fuel dump. It does this prior to deorbiting into the Indian Ocean, after the normal 1 1/2 orbits. If there was a problem with the satellite releasing, they would have keep it in orbit a few more times to attempt to release it. Particularly since the second stage was still functioning properly and had enough fuel to require a fuel dump.

  15. Re:Where did the Second stage hit the water ? on Rumors Swirl That Secret Zuma Satellite Launched By SpaceX Was Lost (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    The second stage appears to have functioned normally, making the normal 1 1/2 orbits. It released excess fuel over Africa as normal, which an airline pilot was able to take a picture. It would then deorbit into the Indian Ocean.

  16. I said launch, not lunch!

  17. Re:Technically it met its goals on Rumors Swirl That Secret Zuma Satellite Launched By SpaceX Was Lost (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    There is no low Earth orbit where the satellite would orbit once every 24 hours. That is a geosynchronous orbit and they are very very high orbits. We would have noticed if the Falcon 9 had flown into a geosynchronous transfer orbit.

    People who work for SecureDrop tend to kill themselves, also a bit strange.
