  1. Re:Pence is consolidating his position on Michael Flynn Resigns As Trump's National Security Adviser (go.com) · · Score: 1

    D'ya suppose Trump'll pardon him?

    Eh, he might, but I doubt he really gives a damn.

    Technically he wasn't fired :-)

  3. Cheetos!

    And 'Flipboard'? Who the hell are they?

  4. Re:The more important question on Why Has Cameroon Blocked the Internet? (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    And no government is going to want multiple interfaces to the outside world.

    Precisely... They want control. And don't conflate standardization with monopolization.There is no such thing as a 'natural' monopoly. All monopolies require protection by force, in other words, obstruction. Let's not forget who the government serves. All the antitrust regulation is a sham. Transportation, energy production and communications are perfect examples

    It should have been developed a long time ago. The problem has existed for quite a while. The people with the money and talent have other priorities I guess. And like with good encryption, obstruction is probably the biggest cause of the delay.

    Wireless mesh, ad hoc networks. Even with all its latency it's still faster than the pony express...

  7. Re:Most of the web sucks period... on Most of the Web Really Sucks If You Have a Slow Connection (danluu.com) · · Score: 1

    You can block most of those for a very dramatic reduction on time wasted, except for fsdn.com, unless you don't care about the the page styling. But yes, Slashdot is a good illustration of the problem. A real 'nerd' site would never do this.

  8. "Unfortunately"? on Apple CEO Tim Cook Tackles Truth in the Digital Age (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    What's unfortunate about making sure something is accurate? The former "gatekeepers" weren't that good at it.

    Eh, tl;dr version: We are on our own

  9. Other records need protection too on This Blog Is Republishing All the Animal Welfare Records the USDA Deleted (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    Like this one for example...

    People should be more careful who they vote for

  10. Re:Against TOS on US Visitors May Have to Hand Over Social Media Passwords: DHS (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 2

    But I'm going to give the US a pass over the next 4 years.

    What makes you think it will get any better after that?

  11. Re:This is not surprising on FBI Will Revert To Using Fax Machines, Snail Mail For FOIA Requests (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    It's the voters that need a reboot. Look at the kinds of people they're electing.

  12. Re:They already use algorithms to make decisions on Are Robots Coming To Take Investor Jobs on Wall Street? (nypost.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What happens when everyone has an algorithm?

    Flash crash

    Good design? HA! Wait till you hear it

  16. Re:Safe for kids and dogs on Airbus Is About To Build A Self-Flying Electric Robo-Taxi (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 2

    The racket will disperse the crowd. If not that, how about a bucket of prop wash? You'll have to land the thing on top of your house.

  17. This is one helluva leaf blower on Airbus Is About To Build A Self-Flying Electric Robo-Taxi (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    The noise will be impressive.

  18. Re:The classified rules dating from 2013 on Secret Rules Make It Pretty Easy For the FBI To Spy On Journalists (theintercept.com) · · Score: 2

    Other than a bit of role reversal the parties have not changed at all. And there is no hope as long as they continue to be rewarded with votes. Any and all change will have to come from the voters.

  19. Re:The classified rules dating from 2013 on Secret Rules Make It Pretty Easy For the FBI To Spy On Journalists (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1

    That's just it. Most people aren't against 'this kind of thing'. Not the ones who vote anyway. Over 98% give their full consent every two years.

    They know what's going on. And those who vote democrat or republican want more.

    So who do we blame?

    The voters, of course. They're letting, no, demanding this and more.

  22. Sprint offers sweetheart deals... for now on Even Sprint Beat AT&T and Verizon in Customer Growth (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Then they will do like all the rest and kill those deals off as time goes by, and then those customers will flip back to AT&T/Verizon. Just another merry-go-round.

    I just believe that in this situation, robust is more important than brittle efficiency.

  24. But they use lithium-ion on Tesla's Battery Revolution Just Reached Critical Mass (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is a stationary setup. Weight and size shouldn't matter. They should use nickel-iron for longer durability, a hundred years or more.
