  1. Re:If an non-EU resident claims to reside in the E on Facebook Starts Its Facial Recognition Push To Europeans (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    And what if you are an EU citizen living in the US?

  2. How about blocking autoplay video? That shit is way worse than a miner.

  3. I think ads, and worse yet, auto play video are malware. In fact, auto play video with sound is the worst abomination on earth.

    Crypto mining in the background is a lesser evil in my eyes. Annoying, sure, but less annoying than auto play video by orders of magnitude that wastes tons of cpu cycles and sometimes very expensive bandwidth.

  4. Re:Must? on Why Must You Pay Sales People Commissions? (a16z.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly this. Sales people aren't needed. Sales people are the scum of the earth.

  5. Screen jelly effect... on Some OnePlus 5s Are Reportedly Rebooting After Dialing 911 (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    The screen jellly effect is from the screens being installed backwards, and being flipped in software. Supposed an android fix will fix that problem.

  6. Re:Just ban cryptocurrencies on GPU and Motherboard OEMs Readying Components Optimized For Cryptocurrency Mining (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Fuck off. Cryptocurrencies are better than all current legal tenders.

  7. Re:Is non custom hardware still viable for mining? on GPU and Motherboard OEMs Readying Components Optimized For Cryptocurrency Mining (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    You can make about $250/mo mining Ether, Zcash, etc.

  8. Re:Going in seems so pointless on WSJ: There's An 'Inexorable' Trend Towards Working Remotely (foxbusiness.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I really like coming in to the office.

    I like the social aspect. I like the morning coffee on the roof terrace, I like the free breakfast, free lunch, just the amazing food, and seeing the people you work with face to face.

    But am I more productive in the office? FUCK NO.

    All the distractions and annoying people, I am 100% more productive when I work from home. But it' just more lonely, and I miss out on the free food. So I choose to go in. It's also good exercise walking to the office.

    Wah wah wah.

  10. Re:Will you finally get to work already? on Security Analyst Concludes Windows 10 Enterprise 'Tracks Too Much' (xato.net) · · Score: 0

    WTF are you talking about? Linux works perfectly fine. Seriously. It really does.

  11. Re:Most politicans say they want affordable housin on 80% of Millennials Say They Want To Buy a Home -- But Most Have Less Than $1,000 (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    Houses ARE cheap to build and ARE cheap.

    What is so expensive is THE LAND. Especially in metro areas in any of the big cities.

    I live downtown SF. A million dollars only gets you a tiny studio here, because the demand to live here is so incredibly high and land is limited.

  12. Re:Fake currency is fake... on Bitcoin Surges 10% To All-Time High Above $2,700, Has Now Doubled in May (cnbc.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Same as your USD and Gold.

    I use Google Project Fi. Just because.

    No reason to ever buy a Galaxy S8, then.

    Fuck that shit.

  17. Re:Doesn't work for me :( on YouTube Has a Secret 'Dark Mode' (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    I set US language (I had UK) and my location already is US (and I am currently in the US, but haven't always lived here.)

    This is still all I get:

    Woah, is this the menu people see?

    https://cnet3.cbsistatic.com/i...

    I don't get a menu like that at all, when I click my portrait in the top/right I see youtube red and a list of my other youtube channels to switch to. No menu like that :( god, damn it.

  19. Doesn't work for me :( on YouTube Has a Secret 'Dark Mode' (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    It doesn't work for me. Maybe because I have YouTube Red?

    Unsure. :(

    Where does the dark mode option actually appear in settings? Anyone have a screenshot?

  20. FitBit? What? They're still in business? How? on Fitbit's New Smartwatch Has Been Plagued By Production Mishaps (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    FitBit? What? They're still in business? How?

    Every thing they release has been utter crap. Charge, Charge HR, and Surge all that the pealing rubber band issue, and no matter how many times they replace your tracker it happens again anyway.

    FitBit is garbage.

  21. So how does all this affect Project Fi? on The Days of Google Talk Are Over (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    So how does all this affect Project Fi? And the SMS and voice mail and calling support that's integrated in gmail and hangouts?

    I am SO confused....

  22. Re:Still too low on Congress Will Consider Proposal To Raise H-1B Minimum Wage To $100,000 (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yeah, $100k is definitely still too low.

    $150k to $200k ideally.

  23. Re:So... on If You Get Rich, You Won't Quit Working For Long (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    What? You're literally reconfirming what the parent said.

    Poor people, when they win the lottery, spend it all, and end up broke within a year or two.
    Rich people, when they win the lottery, don't change much (if anything) about their lifestyle. They most likely just reinvest all the winnings.

  24. Re:Pizza is indeed a pie on Robots Are Already Replacing Fast-Food Workers (recode.net) · · Score: 4, Informative

    THIS.

    In Austraila, New Zealand, and many other countries we have savory pries. I grew up on savory pies.

    But Pizza's ARE NOT PIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    They are not fully enclosed in Pastry. The closest thing that comes to that is a Calzone. An ordinary pizza is absolutely NOT a pie. You east coasters are just retarded.

    And then there's the Tesla charging standard, too?

    So Tesla Super Chargers and at home chargers, CCS, and CHAdeMO. And I think there's a 4th standard, too...
