He said, "Fortunately, we have developed other technologies like Aquila that will collect people as well. We remain committed to our mission of assimilating everyone, and we will keep working until everyone provides their personal data to us for free, so that we can continue to monetize it for our proprietary business growth, since our product is humans.

    Facebook reminds me of that Twilight episode “To Serve Man” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    Thanks, i'll check it out. So far, I've been happy with Reaper (on windows unfortunately).

    Back to the audio interface question, amongst the major things we have here is that Jack/Alsa are fine for desktops with Realtek chipsets, but when you're dealing with thousand dollar interfaces that can record sixteen channels of audio in real-time with 1ms latency, Jack and Alsa just don't cut it.

    Yeah, this. I have and do use Reaper, it's great. It's been a while but last time I tried to record with Linux the audio interface support just wasn't there. I had a M-Audio Delta 1010, which was a good consumer+ level interface at the time (PCI) but nothing in that league even was supported on linux. It sounds like that hasn't changed much, even now with high quality usb audio interfaces. It's a bummer but I guess the demand really isn't there...

    What changes would you want to see in it in the next five years?

    Still waiting for the year of the desktop. A viable alternative to osx (and ms) for multimedia work, specifically, professional level audio engineering work.

    yeah, seriously. The basic story is potentially believable (coder automates job duties) but they embellished to far. Loses all coding skills in 6 years? Lives in Bay Area and saves 200k in 6 years at 95k year? highly doubtful.

    Possibly, Venture beat would have been a better submission. http://venturebeat.com/2016/05... additionally the story follwing that is "Pornhub launches bug bounty program with rewards ranging from $50 to $25,000", which could be useful knowledge for some around here.

    The new desks go up and down automatically to force you to stand.

    Or just get one of the Ikea standing desks, raise it up and leave it like that for a week, that's about how long it takes for the motor to stop working and leave it as an un-adjustable standing desk...

  21. Doh! now that i've actually read TFA I will reply to myself -

    Are there any exceptions? If you swipe a card at a gas pump, you might get a prompt asking you for your ZIP code. This kind of transaction is generally exempt from laws about personal information, as are purchases that require delivery or installation, since the company needs to know where to send the package or technician.

    Sorry to waste your time

  22. I am always prompted for my zip code when I try to buy gas with a credit card, if i enter the wrong zip (or none) I can not continue. Are you saying that this is illegal practice?
