  1. Re:Need for long-term view of society on Gates Warns of Software Replacing People; Greenspan Says H-1Bs Fix Inequity · · Score: 1, Interesting

    That number includes people that stay in homeless shelters, which any homeless person can do unless they get kicked out for violence or drugs. Even homeless people that are not staying in homeless shelters are obviously finding some sort of shelter. Otherwise they would be dying like crazy. Even so, the point is any homeless person can find a homeless shelter or some other place to stay for free.

    My original point in my response to the OP was that homeless people have all the basic needs they need to live even if they don't work or benefit society in any way. You could call them greedy for wanting more for doing nothing to benefit society. How much do they deserve for doing nothing?
    Those greedy capitalists provide some sort of benefit to someone to get more money. If those damn greedy capitalists didn't improve society so far with all their damn inventions and improvements to make life easier nearly everyone would be impoverished by today's definition. Several hundred years in the future the standard of the current a middle class American will be considered poverty level again because those damn greedy capitalists will figure out ways to improve life for money.

    No one in the United States has problems with food, clothing, or shelter.

  4. Re:show me code thats not self-documenting on Lies Programmers Tell Themselves · · Score: 1

    The real lie is "My code is understandable because I have comments." Comments are code smells.

    If you need to write comments for people to understand your code your code stinks. Refactor it so the method names and classes describe what they do. If you can't do that your class or method stinks. It has a bunch of crappy poorly structured code,

    Valve doesn't plan on selling vr headsets, they just made theirs for development.

  7. Micro USB on Your Next Car's Electronics Will Likely Be Connected By Ethernet · · Score: 1

    They should just make it Micro USB. Then you can charge your electric car and transfer data with the same cable. Just like a phone. I don't want to have to buy new cables just so I can charge my car.

  8. Re:Why would it be infeasable? on Report: Space Elevators Are Feasible · · Score: 1

    True story. A coworker bought a scissors and couldn't get it open without a scissors, but there wasn't a scissors in the office which is why he bought one.

  9. Don't Hold Everyone Else Back on Is Google Making the Digital Divide Worse? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Assuming Google fiber will force the competition to lower prices or increase their own bandwidth this is a simplified example of what is happening.

    Would you rather have:
    Google Fiber allowed: 50% of people have 1000 Mbit internet and 50% of people have 10 Mbit internet
    or
    Google Fiber is not allowed: 50% of people have 20 Mbit internet and 50% of people have 5 Mbit internet

    Forcing equality often just means lowering the standards of living for everyone. Even for people at the bottom.

    - Average Walmart / fast food worker is not a teenager but is a 30 year old trying to support a family and is not "getting by".

    Citation? My personal observations are heavily conflicting with this, but maybe it is because I live in a well off area.

  12. Re:I'm not covinced by Dyson on Dyson Invests £5 Million To Create 'Intelligent Domestic Robots' · · Score: 1

    That isn't a problem with the Dyson hand dryers because they don't use heated air. Regular hand dryers actually harbor bacteria because it is just a warm moist area for them to live. They end up increasing the bacteria count on your hand. The Dyson and paper towels get rid of bacteria.

    I've had similar experience. I've had about 15 Seagate drives and none of them have ever died. I've had 3 WD drives, 2 died within a year and the third one almost made it 2 years.
    I haven't met anyone personally that has had problems with Seagate drives, but I have heard people claim it online. Maybe I'm just lucky or something.

    Except for people that say "capable of playing" never mean 30 fps and are likely completely oblivious to how many frames per second the game is running at. The GPU in question definitely does not get an average of 30 fps on BF4 medium settings.
