  1. Re:Its too early IMO on California Says Autonomous Cars Don't Need Human Drivers (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    The law is saying that the car itself can be considered a driver, so unless you're spiking the gas tank I don't think it'll get a DUI.

  2. To up the throughput (for read options) you can use just a few bits to detect if there is an error and then go do a full cross check if one is detected.

  3. Ignoring that it is probably possible to get below the atomic level, it's also possible that we might be able to induce more than two states in an atom. This could happen by either having an attribute with more than two states that could be changed between, or by having multiple attributes on the same atom.

  4. Re:Very interesting. on IBM Researchers Prove It Is Possible To Store Data In a Single Atom (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    "I like being the only one with atomic storage."

  5. Re:It may hurt co's on How To Close the Gender Pay Gap By 2044 (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Part time employees are cheaper for companies as the required benefits are lower, one of my main criticisms of the ACA.

  6. Re:Flex time is not a solution on How To Close the Gender Pay Gap By 2044 (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    As long as the men are also able to get full time pay for part time work and take time off for family and still get their raises.

  7. Re:It would be interesting to see the tipping poin on FBI Dismisses Child Porn Case Rather Than Reveal Their Tor Browser Exploit (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Or rather, does that point even exist? They may feel that it is worthwhile to keep using it to catch as many as they can and just dismiss the cases with competent defense.

  8. Re:Not the first time on US Suspends 'Expedited' H-1B Visas (sfgate.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't be silly, he said that he wanted people to do research before commenting irrationally. Didn't say anything about not commenting irrationally.

  9. Re:Well, that's one thing on US Suspends 'Expedited' H-1B Visas (sfgate.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Short term gains increase stock value, investors sell, no one involved cares what happens after that.

  10. Re:what if title opposite of story? on Facebook Begins Marking 'Fake News' As 'Disputed' (wdrb.com) · · Score: 1

    Mark it disputed for disagreeing with itself.

  11. Re:shit science, ignores sweat on New Scientific Test Finds Up To 75 Liters of Urine In Public Pools (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    More importantly, what makes them think the people urinating in the pool are typical Canadians as far as ACE consumption?

    I suspect that the people urinating in the pool are, on average, significantly younger than the average Canadian. Both because younger people are more likely to be in the pool and more likely to urinate in it. Younger people will frequently have significantly different diets than older people.

  12. Re:and so the cycle continues. on First Signs of Obesity In Some Arctic Groups Have Been Linked To Instant Noodles (sciencealert.com) · · Score: 1

    These taxes reduce consumption, but also incentivize politicians to avoid doing anything else to reduce consumption.

  13. Re:Drug of last resort on WHO Issues a List of 12 Most Worrying Drug-Resistant Bacteria (medicalxpress.com) · · Score: 1

    They felt that the income from a justifiable extra day in the hospital combined with not having the consequences of ineffective antibiotics was to their benefit.

  14. Re:and so the cycle continues. on First Signs of Obesity In Some Arctic Groups Have Been Linked To Instant Noodles (sciencealert.com) · · Score: 1

    No soda tax please. If you really think soda is that harmful, stop letting companies sell it. Imposing something like a soda tax leads to politicians doing their subtle best to increase soda consumption so they can have more of our money.

  15. Re:The sharing of table scraps economy not viable? on 'Uber Is Doomed', Argues Transportation Reporter (jalopnik.com) · · Score: 1

    Someone's getting paid to do vehicle inspections, which is the same thing as far as the government is concerned.

  16. Re:Funny how conservatives hate success on Al Gore Sells $29.5 Million In Apple Stock (appleinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    Gore just cut out the middleman and passed the laws himself.

  17. Re:And? on Al Gore Sells $29.5 Million In Apple Stock (appleinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, he exercised his option to buy, then held on to them for a few years as an investment.

  18. Re:Stupid question on Al Gore Sells $29.5 Million In Apple Stock (appleinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    I find the list suspicious as the "poorest" member of the senate has an estimated net worth of -$720k. The fact that he is able to borrow that much money makes me think that he is not actually that poor, which casts doubt on the rest of the list. My best guess is that the list is including mortgages without including the value of the property.

  19. Re:Being on a board of directors is good work on Al Gore Sells $29.5 Million In Apple Stock (appleinsider.com) · · Score: 0

    So sayeth Al Gore and Donald Trump, paragons of virtue.

    You don't have to quietly agree with them, just make sure there's a clause that pays out when they get rid of you.

    Generally you will sell off only a small portion of your stocks for income unless you either need the money for something large or think the stock will underperform.

    More than half of my mail is junk mail from local businesses, so I take your scenario as a complete failure to opt out of junk mail.

    You can only call it defamation in the US if it isn't true.

  24. Re:/. editors: why do you maintain this shit hole? on Garmin Engineer Shot And Killed By Man Yelling 'Get Out Of My Country!' (theverge.com) · · Score: 3

    If you ignore the political stories that shouldn't be on this site anyway you'll find a lot of the comments sections are still quite good. I'm a little surprised you claim the comments are geared towards the right though, if anything the overall bias seems to be towards the left.

  25. Re:How is FILMING "speech"? on Appeals Court: You Have the Right To Film the Police (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I think the point was more that making a video may not be speech, showing the video to someone else is speech.
