  1. ....and tip off the hackers that you are on to them? You don't know much about espionage do you.

  2. Re:I'm Reminded of an Ancient Saying on New Research Suggests Evolution Might Favor 'Survival of the Laziest' (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    Consumerism is really a kind of evolutionary battle against consumers how many families go up in flames due to people spending more than they can afford on being 'first'

  3. It takes me literally 60 seconds to get more data for my phone.

  4. I am sure there are true unlimited high availability accounts available but they are expensive. It is like me complaining about my home isp going down even though I don't pay for commercial account. Also the story is pretty misleading... you can buy extra gigs pretty much instantly if you have access to the account without upgrading it.

  5. Re:miles driven on Gig Economy Pressures Make Drivers 'More Likely To Crash' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually yeah, outcomes are all that matter.

  6. Weren't wireless carriers throttling 'unlimited' accounts before the net neutrality change? I thought they were unrelated.

    People drive similarly shitty when they are not driving for uber, not to mention they are self reporting. All that matters is if their accidents per mile increased while 'gig driving'

  8. miles driven on Gig Economy Pressures Make Drivers 'More Likely To Crash' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    No I am not RTF... f clickbait. Did they correct for miles driven? Obviously if you are doing Uber many hours a week your collision risk goes up.

  9. Re:Who cares on Tiny Plastic Is Everywhere (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    It's a poorly written article. Bisphenol-A is the main component of polycarbonate plastics and exists as residual monomer... so they are always part of the plastic. Every time the plastic particle is abraded or broken it releases more Bisphenol-A into the environment. There is no way to separate the two.

    Plasticizers, cross-linkers, photosensitizers etc... there are all kinds of chemicals that go into plastics

  11. Wasnt the spectrum sold by fcc for something else? I can't remember.

  12. If I was photographer putting together their ad I wouldn't want to use their shitty phone camera either.

  13. We could continuing parsing what he said, or ask ourselves what is the point of saying anything? No other CEO acts like this.

  14. i just use my phone as alarm clock

    no shit baseball is already boring this will make it worse

  16. Re:As long as it's voluntary on This Company Embeds Microchips in Its Employees, and They Love It (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 2

    So are you happy for the people if 75% percent of them accept this? What's the chances of this becoming law? Slippery slope and all but I am disappointed when people accept something like this and am not happy for them.

    then I'm happy for them.

    not me, with potential for mob rule making this a requirement

  18. Wake me up when somebody demonstrates real AI....

  19. There was a very small window of time where computers were so expensive that a family could only afford one and where there was the internet. Yeah my cousin and I used to play nethaq on his dad's kaypro but I don't think that is what you are talking about here.

    You seem to have no problem discussing the problems of the smart watch, how about explaining the 'extremely useful' part :)
