  1. It's not like anyone reads the article anyways.

  2. Re:Um, lots of folks enjoy excersise on The World's Leading Cause of Death? A Bad Diet (nbc12.com) · · Score: 1

    You have a source for that? No you don't, because it's a load of bullshit. Americans watch an average of 5 hours of TV per day and the only reason they're fat is because they're lazy and eat too much.

  3. Re:Need an UNION BAD!!! on Making Video Games Is Not a Dream Job (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    A union won't magically bypass supply and demand. There are literally people making games for free and they're better than a lot of the people getting paid to do it.

    Was? Outlook is still bad at rendering html.

  5. You can disable that. The only thing you can't disable is the extra sites being added tobyour speed dial every few months. Although you can remove them.

  6. Re:Why the fuck would I even want this? on Why Google Stadia Will Be a Major Problem For Many American Players · · Score: 2

    It doesn't completely prevent cheating. There are aimbots and other cheats that simply read the screen or identify colors or text and simulate input.

  7. The People it's for won't use it anyway on Consumer Groups Want To Tax Facebook To Save Journalism (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    The people who they claim need it aren't going to use it. It's just another stupid idea to waste other people's money.

  8. It's Safe on FDA Warns Against Using Young Blood As Medical Treatment (cnn.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    I've been doing it for 3000 years. It's perfectly safe.

  9. Re: Interpretation on Reddit Users Are the Least Valuable of Any Social Network (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Targeted advertising is very easy on Reddit without needing any user identifiable information. The ads can simply target specific subreddits (categories like politics, technology, Fortnite, etc.)

    It has nothing to do with Reddit valuing it's users. They constantly remove and hide very popular subreddits that are advertiser unfriendly. The reason reddit users are so worthless is because Reddit's age demographic is the poorest and least likely to buy anything. Reddit is just Facebook for poor people

    Use the exploit as a way to apply a patch.

  11. Re:Are tips in the app visible to the driver? on DoorDash and Amazon Won't Change Tipping Policy After Instacart Controversy (forbes.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you tip before service it's no longer a tip. It's just paying more.

    "millions" according to the shitty click bait headline

  13. Re:Use case? on LG Unveils 88-inch 8K TV That Doubles as a Giant Speaker (tomsguide.com) · · Score: 1

    Imagine even deeper pockets where this isn't even their main tv. It's just mounted on the wall in the kitchen or something. It wouldn't be because of money.

  14. Re:4k is barely supported on LG Unveils 88-inch 8K TV That Doubles as a Giant Speaker (tomsguide.com) · · Score: 1

    There's plenty of 4k content. Every new movie, every new show on Netflix and Amazon are 4k. But yeah if you want 8k content, it's going to be a wait.

  15. Re:Except the far-right ADF you say? on Hundreds of German Lawmakers Targeted in Mass Cyber Attack (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    That might just be Vice's added spin on it. Does that party even have a significant amount of politicians?

  16. Re:I don't get it. on Fortnite Star Ninja Says He Raked in Millions of Dollars Last Year (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    It's the same as sports and reality tv. Competitive games are like sports. You watch the very best players do something no one else can. Either for entertainment or to learn and get better at the game yourself. The other big reason is just for the same general entertainment people get from watching reality tv. The popular streamers don't just play games. They tell jokes and stories, talk with other people, and all sorts of stuff. You don't just experience the game's story, you experience those people's stories. You see friendships and relationships develop and all sorts of stuff.

  17. Re:No, it wasn't. on Fortnite Was 2018's Most Important Social Network (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    You think a game making $300 million a month is paying for this crappy article?

  18. Re:The more things change... on Fortnite Teen Hackers 'Earning Thousands of Dollars a Week' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Fortnite has had 2 factor authentication for a long time now. They encourage you to use it all over the place (loading screens, menus, their website, etc.) and give you a cosmetic item if you do.

  19. Re:What happened to the promise of a 4 hour workda on Burnout, Stress Lead More Companies To Try a Four-Day Work Week (reuters.com) · · Score: 0

    in the 20s, 30s 40s and even up till the 60s there was talk of less and less hours. And then it just stopped. 40 hours was "standard" with most doing 50+. Why the hell was it so easy to get the working class to work so hard for so little and just grin and bear it? For the record, 86% of the manufacturing jobs lost were due to automation, not outsourcing. We're not being out-competed, there's just plain less work to do. And instead of working less we're all fighting among ourselves to see who gets to be the lucky guy that gets to do what little work is left.

    There's an unlimited amount of work to do. It's only limited if you want to live with a capped standard of living. The standard of living has drastically improved since the 1920s.

    It's already possible with 4G LTE and people are doing it now. LTE had huge latency improvements over 3G.

    If you want it to work exactly like a human sure. But if all you want is the same result there could be a lot of ways to do it. "There is more than one way to skin a cat."

    The OLEDs in TVs actually use white oleds for each subpixel with color filters over them (LG makes all the panels). In most phones they use different colored oleds.
