  1. Re:Why yes, let's ban them on Reddit Bans Far-Right Groups Altright and Alternativeright (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Rather they should ban everyone that's doxxing, not just the alt-right.

  2. If the majority (or even a significant minority) of the movement showed opposition to these things as they were happening, they'd be a lot more successful at actually getting their point across. As it is, they allow extremists to draw attention to their movement, but at the cost of painting the whole group as extremists.

  3. People are scared because they see extremists, literal Nazis, white supremacists and other members of the alt-right at the very top of their government. Within days of being elected there is a Muslim ban and work is stated in a wall. It's frightening and, well, if it was the 1930s and you had the opportunity to punch Hitler...

    People are scared because they see all this on one side, and more of the same on the other.

  4. Re:Warrant issued upon probable cause on Police Use Pacemaker Data To Charge Homeowner With Arson, Insurance Fraud (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    If it were my pacemaker, I would assume privacy and confidentiality. Well, I would have yesterday anyway.

  5. Re:Better Summary for Nerds on New York Sues Charter Over Slow Internet Speeds (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Peak speed, it was impossible for these customers to get the speed they paid for even if no one else was using the network.

  6. Re:This doesn't seem that impressive on AI Decisively Defeats Four Pro Poker Players In 'Brains Vs AI' Tournament (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    Not just the odds of card draws and hands, but odds based on current betting and past behavior of the opponents.

  7. Could also be due to interference issues if their systems are as bad as others have suggested.

  8. Re:You're placing it wrong on LG's UltraFine 5K Display Becomes Useless When It's Within Two Meters of a Router (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 1

    What if your neighbors on either side have their WAPs against the shared walls?

  9. Re: Not the only problem on LG's UltraFine 5K Display Becomes Useless When It's Within Two Meters of a Router (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You won't die of cancer from either of those, (unless the radar is putting out something else in addition to the detection radiation) you might die from your brain boiling or lead poisoning, but not from cancer.

  10. As the GP pointed out, these emails are in response to the complaint. If the person complaining is having trouble with something they refer to as a router being too close to the monitor, it is easier to tell them to move the router than it is to find out whether it actually is a router and then ask them to move it.

  11. Re:An Inanimate Carbon Rod 2018! on Running For Congress, Brianna Wu Criticizes The FBI's GamerGate Report (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 2

    Aww, I was hoping rod would run for president in 2020.

  12. It requires 60 votes to override a filibuster, Republicans only have 52.

  13. Re:About Hillary on New Data Shows 85% of Humans Live Under a Corrupt Government (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    The tech guys involved were given immunity and yet still pleaded the fifth. The investigation never recorded any interviews with her and never put her under oath. I'm not saying she did anything that was technically illegal, but she definitely shouldn't be given more power.

  14. Re:Wait...locked IN? on Ransomware Infects a Hotel's Key System (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    While I doubt people were locked in their rooms, there were not old fashioned door locks and the master key is tied to the same electronic system. Unlocking all the doors without a key would require cutting power if they were designed properly or breaking down the door if they were not.

  15. Re:Fire on Ransomware Infects a Hotel's Key System (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    I suspect that no one thought to cut power to unlock the doors, otherwise they wouldn't have had breaking down the doors as their alternate solution.

  16. You realize Democrats can and probably will stall the SCOTUS nomination(s) until either they can steal it back or the Republicans get an overwhelming majority.

  17. Re:About Hillary on New Data Shows 85% of Humans Live Under a Corrupt Government (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    You left out the part where she had the server wiped after the data on it was subpoenaed.

  18. Re:More like 100% on New Data Shows 85% of Humans Live Under a Corrupt Government (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    Some people live under governments that are local enough that if there's too much corruption, the government gets stabbed with a stick and someone else takes over.

  19. Uniformity of culture and geography plays a significant part. Also, the larger the system the more layers of overhead you get.

  20. I cite the summary...

  21. Re:Why the fuck is this even a problem? on USB-C Power Meter Helps You Spot Counterfeit Accessories Before They Fry Your Gadgets (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not so much about the port itself as it is about how common it is. It is in use in enough devices that it's cost effective to make cheap knock off chargers.

  22. The problem isn't having them work for a new company, it's hiring them specifically because they were Tesla employees with inside knowledge of Tesla's software and contacts.

  23. Re:Most forms of metric are like this on Customer Feedback Surveys Could Be Considered Harmful (easydns.org) · · Score: 1

    If you are aware that you get paid more money for doing x than doing y, you will most likely do x, even if y is better for the company.

  24. Re:agreed on Customer Feedback Surveys Could Be Considered Harmful (easydns.org) · · Score: 1

    Pretty easy to see the rating if you watch them enter it.

  25. Re:Yeah but on Customer Feedback Surveys Could Be Considered Harmful (easydns.org) · · Score: 1

    Start trying to fill it out with the salesperson's info, they tend to give up quickly after that.
