  1. Re:Look, I get it on China Negotiating For Cheaper Cancer Drugs (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    That doesn't explain why drugs like insulin are seeing 1000% increases. It is illegal market manipulation and these companies should be under investigation for breaking antitrust laws. If there is a hurricane and I double the cost of my gasoline at a convenience store I will be thrown in jail.

  2. Re:A simpler explanation on Amazon's Curious Case of the $2,630.52 Used Paperback (nytimes.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Either that or it's made of Monster Cables

  3. Re:Sooner and spread out is better on Study Suggests Buried Internet Infrastructure at Risk as Sea Levels Rise (eurekalert.org) · · Score: 1

    Unless an asteroid strikes, yeah most things happen in a kind of dribble. So we are doing a good job of planning by doing nothing.

  4. Re:what's prime day? on Amazon Suffers Glitches at the Start of Prime Day (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    In a way having a sale is an anachronism with internet/instant purchasing, if I need something I just find the best deal and buy it. So I don't really have anything that I need that I don't have and I would have to be really bored to log on to Amazon to find something to buy.

  5. Re:Inflation & Tariffs and likely more... on Amazon Suffers Glitches at the Start of Prime Day (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Celebrate by buying the same item cheaper on Ebay and with free shipping.

  6. Are we there yet? on Amazon Suffers Glitches at the Start of Prime Day (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Post giving a shit about companies like amazon and facebook.

  7. Re:Akin to a warrant... on Judge Jails Defendent For Failing To Unlock Phones (fox13news.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not.

  8. Re:Multi screen / Bitcoin effect on PC Market Sees Its First Growth Quarter in Six Years (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    I have two extra monitors, one of them 4k on my old thinkpad and the laptop screen still works.

  9. Re:Sorry if this is a dumb question, but... on Astronomers Detected a 'Ghost Particle' and Tracked It To Its Source (space.com) · · Score: 1

    Interestingly enough although neutrinos don't go faster than light in a vacuum they don't interact with matter so the neutrinos would arrive a small amount of time before the photons which are slowed by the traces of gas in interstellar space.

  10. The bell curve still exists for blacks and latinos so there will still be plenty that will fit your distribution for CS... this is no where near accounting for disparity in actual enrollments. Also the fact that women will have same IQ also throws your theory out the window.

  11. Actually it's a new flavor of Linux documented in Latin, why would you think they would post gender/identity BS on this site?

  12. Re:Those poor animals on Software Beats Animal Tests at Predicting Toxicity of Chemicals (nature.com) · · Score: 1

    Any chemist can probably predict toxicology even better than the software... however this is not why companies do these tests. It is simply for liability purposes. I am sure they would be more than happy to quit testing if they weren't exposed to customer lawsuits.

  13. Re:Filled with Jelly = Not Serious on In World First, Danish Court Rules Stream-Ripping Site Illegal · · Score: 1

    They didn't take blancmanges seriously either until they won Wimbledon!

  14. Who Cares? on Is iOS 11.4 Draining Your iPhone's Battery? You're Not Alone (zdnet.com) · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Can't wealthy people afford to charge their phone?

  15. Re:AT&T will slaughter that Golden Goose on AT&T Wants To Overhaul HBO, Says It Isn't Profitable Enough (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    No way HBO can compete with barely watchable Netflix originals.

  16. Re:China Finds Begins Production... on China Begins Production Of x86 Processors Based On AMD's IP (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 1

    If China aggregates good information on US citizens you don't think US intelligence agencies would pay for it? Privacy is privacy.

  17. Re:China Finds Begins Production... on China Begins Production Of x86 Processors Based On AMD's IP (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Engrish silly...

  18. Re:Never mind phones, WTF dishwasher soap? on Owning an iPhone is the Number-One Way To Guess if You're Rich or Not, Research Finds (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    I know people that don't use the dishwasher for washing dishes just for storage.

  19. Re:Owning a luxury car (or jet/yatch) is even bett on Owning an iPhone is the Number-One Way To Guess if You're Rich or Not, Research Finds (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    Obviously you don't know the difference between being rich and being wealthy :)

  20. Re:Hatfields & McCoys on How Much Americans Could Save by Ridesharing Driverless Cars Over Owning · · Score: 1

    It does work out for some things.. look at the club model for small aircraft. It separates the members from liability etc. I assume too you would have motoring software available that would track each user's mileage and needs for maintenance etc.

  21. Re:Way ahead of you... on How Much Americans Could Save by Ridesharing Driverless Cars Over Owning · · Score: 2

    Companies that dump products or services on the market at a loss to put competitors out of business break antitrust laws, Uber should be prosecuted.

  22. Re: Income per capita is meaningless on Economists Worry We Aren't Prepared For the Fallout From Automation (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Worked a couple of years with a landscaper. I was that helper.

  23. Re:Good. Burn them all on Federal Facebook Probe Now Includes FBI, SEC: Report (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Recently some kid recorded his principal with a cellphone and is facing felony charges. Why should facebook be exempt from prosecution?

  24. Re:Income per capita is meaningless on Economists Worry We Aren't Prepared For the Fallout From Automation (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    You can do 10 to 15 lawns a day with one helper

    I am sure the adhesive on those stickers cause cancer maybe the sticker needs a sticker?
