  1. Re:blame social media on Tech Groups Step Away From Gab Network After Shooting (ft.com) · · Score: 0

    I'm pretty sure the diners in Comet Ping Pong didn't think the guy shooting up the place with an AR-15 was harmless.

    Also, aren't corporations allowed to have 1st Amendment rights now? So why so butthurt that they are exercising their first amendment rights to association?

  2. Well of course. They're not stupid. They know that 'fiat currency' (*rolls eyes and groans*) is the only money that matters. The monopoly tokens are just for fleecing the ignorant.

  3. What is this "Breaker" mag? I can't even find a wiki page. I guess good for this guy for hustling and honing his skills, but the site he's writing for has no better reputation than the sites he's targeting.

    Never heard of it either but at least the Editor-In-Chief has some amount of reputation as a Fast Company staff writer. Take that as you will.

  4. Yes, I am thoroughly shocked that websites peddling monopoly money schemes on the public are shady! /s

    I was expecting this to be some sort of story involving media sites anyone has ever heard of like The Washington Post, the NYT, the NY Post, etc.. Instead it's mostly sketchy websites next-to-no-one has ever heard of full of ads and tracking scripts.

  5. The Fifth Amendment applies to the HR groups of corporations? Since when?

    So they should have turned to an outlet like the Gateway Pundit or the Washington Times to write the story instead of the New York Times?

    It's not like mommy was gonna let you use her credit csrd to buy this anyway so it's no big loss to anyone.

  8. Get a lawyer for $75 to a couple hundred bucks? You'll probably be laughed out of most lawyer's offices with such a tiny claim.

  9. Cool story, gramps. Make sure to secure your onions so they don't fall off your belt while your shaking your fist at cloud.

  10. A SoC is the next big thing? Are you a time traveller from the 1980s?

    Yep, like WhatsApp.

  12. Re:Or you could just read 1 paragraph and know. on Amazon Shuts Down Liquavista, a Screen Technology Company It Had Acquired From Samsung in 2013 (the-digital-reader.com) · · Score: 2

    Except that Mirasol displays were crap. To quote Wikipedia:

    Mirasol screens were only able to produce 60 Hz video but it quickly drained the battery. Devices that used the screen have colors that look washed out, so the technology never saw mainstream support.

    Yeah, sounds like a real winner of a technology.

  13. The part explaining root was just a quote from the original article.

  16. Except Swedish prosecutors already dropped the charges. Did so back in 2017.

  17. The charges for the crime he was accused of were dropped by Swedish prosecutors nearly a year and a half ago.

  18. Sweden dropped the charges more than a year ago.

    So his solution is to be annoying and to antagonize the people giving him sanctuary? Yeah, that sounds like a smart move...

    And this has what to do with the topic of this story?

  21. Exactly. They should just boot his attention-whoring ass out.

    It might not necessarily be from the ocean or salt collection itself; could just be part of processing that is adding the micro plastic.

    If that were true how would you explain that they found that sea salt consistently had a higher concentration vs rock salt and lake salt? If it's due to the dispenser how would the concentrations always be higher from sources that are known to have a higher concentration ot microplastics?

    Also why would the concentrations be higher in salt from Asia?

    The study with its summary was linked in the submission:

    A wide range of MP content (in number of MPs per kg of salt; n/kg) was found: 0–1674 n/kg (excluding one outlier of 13629 n/kg) in sea salts, 0–148 n/kg in rock salt, and 28–462 n/kg in lake salt.

    It's not sexy but it's what we want.

    Pretty sure that 'we' is vastly overstated.

  25. To be fair, the data of "young Ford" the algorithm had to work with is decades old.

    And mostly on high quality 35mm stock.

    It would be really interesting to see what it could do with data from an actor of the "Blue-ray" era, although in second though the algorithms used to compress the data would actually make things worst.

    Why would that make any difference. Pretty much all of Ford's old movies are out on Blu-Ray by now. Also 1080p digital has far less detail than high quality 35mm.
