  1. Re:Marissa Mayer apparently has only one talent on Yahoo Faces SEC Probe Over Data Breaches (wsj.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How Marissa Mayer looks in a miniskirt is irrelevant. I used to work at Yahoo and I can tell you from experience that Marissa's number 1 talent is talking, she is really in love with the sound of her own voice, and NOT FUCKING LISTENING TO A SINGLE WORD ANYONE HAS TO SAY. She pushed the revamp of Yahoo's mail interface, then bitched because almost no one inside was not using it. In fact the internal usage dropped like a stone. Multiple people told her that the revamp sucked but did she listen? Fuck no. The sad thing is she is going to walk away from the smoking crater formally know as Yahoo with a metric ton of money in her pocket.

    I have a nephew who is a lawyer and he has assured me that within the first semester of law school students are told, repeatedly to never, ever piss off the judge. Very bad things happen when the judge is pissed off. I'm guessing these clowns were not paying attention.

  5. BINGO. Our immigration policy is a total joke. There should be a fast track to citizenship, like 2 or 3 years, for people with a high level of education especially in STEM. Have a look at the immigration policy in Canada.

  7. My home setup is:

      - home assembled PC, 4 core CPU and 16 GB of ram
      - Ubuntu 14.04
      - ZFS (8 TB)
      - MakeMKV and Handbrake
      - Ruko box attached to the TV and home network

    Total one time cost $1500.00

    Sure Plex is charging $40.00 per year but notice I control the entire setup. No one throttling the bandwidth between the Plex Cloud and my TV and no one selling the information about my DVD / Blu-Ray collection to advertisers.

    guaranteed minimum income

    Never going to happen in this country. The status quo hangs on to their ideology like a junkie and his heroin. When the pitchforks come out then maybe, but I suspect the 1%, once they finish strip mining this country, will flee leaving us to rot.

    It means whatever the current politicians in power say it means

    Only because The People allow them to get away with this. If we were to start having mass layoffs in Congress they would change their tune.

    After all, there was no encryption back at the start of the country, so surely the founding fathers didn't mean to include it did they?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  10. Constitutional Rights on FBI Director Says Prolific Default Encryption Hurting Government Spying Efforts (go.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The 4th amendment says

    The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized

    That means if the FBI wants me decrypt any of my documents they can show my lawyer a search warrant otherwise they can FUCK OFF. If you want to fight these fuckers you, yes you, can start by teaching other people how to use strong encryption and why they should use it all the time. Yea,the NSA has monster facilities to break encryption but the cost of that is not zero. There are more of us then there are of them.

    Yeah,

    I'm getting at least half a dozen emails a day about yet another hot startup. Most of what they tell me sounds like bullshit. They really hate it when I remind them that I can't pay a mortgage with options. Show me the color of your money, sucker.

  13. What does Yahoo actually have left

    Their real estate holdings are pretty valuable. I think they own 8 or 9 large buildings in and around Sunnyvale. The Sunnyvale campus alone has got to be at least 10 acres. 10 acres in the Silicon Valley in the hottest real estate market since the dot com. Real estate developers are probably drooling at the thought of all that land coming up for sale.

    I don't wish any member of the US government to be put to death, what I do wish is for these bastards to be stripped of all their wealth and privileges and forced to live in a roach infested studio apartment in the bad section of town. Then I would force them to work as an assistant night fry cook at Walley's Wonderful World of Burgers in Festering Boil, Oklahoma. These people have forgotten, if they ever knew, what the rest of us put up with in order to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. We need to have these people learn what real work looks like.
