  1. Re:Mobileye understands lit. Musk doesn't. on Mobileye Says Tesla Was Dropped Because of Safety Concerns · · Score: 1

    You have to wonder how many millions they sunk into this autopilot system and if it even 'sold' a single car. What a terrible business choice.

  2. Re:What narrow thinking on Bank of America Analysts Say There's A 50% Chance We Live In The Matrix (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    There are just too many stupid things happening in the world for this to be a simulation..... like that guy that killed the older couple in Florida and started eating one of them. Who programmed that?

  3. 100$ Grados will smoke beats headphones... junk.

    I don't necessarily believe this is true... lawyers should be in court arguing cases or talking with clients, not thumbing through books.

  5. Re:Not going to happen on Edward Snowden Makes 'Moral' Case For Presidential Pardon (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    It's my thought that it should be written into law that information revealing that something done by the federal government breaks constitutional, federal or state laws cannot be classified.

    Machines and dart boards don't let their emotions or their greed cloud their judgements.

    The greed is incorporated into the algorithms.

    If the transaction fails, at least I have something to eat.

  8. Re:about that "competing" thing... on Steve Wozniak May Swap His Tesla For A Chevy Bolt (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Bolt looks horrid, unless you are into that 'beta' look.

  9. There is no way to protect against it.. only by removing or covering the port.
    Sure, in this case it discharges a capacitor at what I assume would be same voltage. But I don't see any reason why you could make one to dump 10kv into the port.

  10. In other news on Who Is Getting Left Behind In the Internet Revolution? (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    Poor people politically marginalized. Details at 11.....

  11. Hell, in Afghanistan the USA bombed a regiment of Canadians.

    You sure that was an accident?

  12. Don't host or own internet company in the EU

  13. Re:And the crowd goes mild!!! on Costa Rica Has Gone 76 Straight Days Using 100% Renewable Electricity (vox.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Electricity on remote islands is very expensive which makes solar affordable. Most of them use diesel generators, and the cost of shipped diesel is very high.

  14. Re:Or the actual reason(s) on Apple Cites 'Courage' As Reason To Remove 3.5mm Headphone Jack (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    They could come up with some new standard with the same form factor 'Lightning Audio' that uses a subset of the pins and make it an open and free.

  15. With the exception of GOT, I haven't heard anyone at work or socially with friends talk about TV shows in a decade.

  16. That's awful... who wants to have to recharge their phone, watch and earbuds...

  17. Re:There goes the last "safe" employer on University of California Hires India-Based IT Outsourcer, Lays Off Tech Workers (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    That is an important factor here... most universities pay IT modest wages with free or reduced tuition for family members or the employee. I am not so sure that incentive works so well with such a specialized school.

    The micro-tears and subsequent healing stimulates muscle growth and increases bone density.

    The only upside to being sedentary is reduced energy expenditure.

    The Playstation is really a device for facilitating game DRM. There is no way in heck to do the same thing with a pc.

    I doubt it because the first application of this will be in agriculture/animal husbandry for purely economic reasons.
