  11. North Korean wellness outreach program on Pentagon Restricts Use of Location-Logging Fitness Trackers (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    As a gesture of goodwill, the Trump administration is sending 40,000,000 wearable fitness trackers to North Korea to help improve the health of their civilian and military population.

  12. Re:boo, fucking hoo on Heat and Humidity Slow Down High-Frequency Trading Due To Microwave Links (hackaday.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    My 401(k) contributions are supposed to purchase new shares every Wednesday. I've noticed that sometimes it's Thursday, or Friday, sometimes they even miss a week and it's delayed into the next week. Wouldn't surprise me a bit to learn that the money is being held and used for other things in the meantime. Or that they sell me shares when the price is best for them.

  15. Re:Big Pharma will sell for one million on New Anti-Cancer Drug Put Cancers To Sleep In Mice -- Permanently (medicalxpress.com) · · Score: 1

    Well I would assume you could always select the cheaper treatments if that's what you wanted, and deal with the side effects and higher risk of dying.

    So I guess your point is that, had the MoD developed and sold a smartphone before Apple did, they may have had a trillion dollars to spend on research? Man, what an opportunity lost.

  24. Re:Microsoft isn't stupid on With DaaS Windows Coming, Say Goodbye To Your PC As You Know It (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    This. Because businesses could probably justify the cost in part by a potential reduction in IT staff if there is less system management needed. But I sure would never pay monthly as a home user. I'm OK using Windows 10 currently, but I'd be on Linux or something else very quickly before I'd write a monthly check to MS. Not because I can't afford it, but because they're being idiots.

  25. The only thing that will stop bad robot with a gun on Killer Robots Would Be 'Dangerously Destabilizing' Force in the World, Tech Leaders Warn (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful
