  1. More like 30000000% on Spam Calls Jumped Over 300% Globally in 2018 (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    I went from one or two a week to one or two an hour...

  2. Re:Why on Tumblr Porn Vanishes Today · · Score: 2

    Tumblr was always nothing but SJWs and Porn. Guess they decided to ditch part of their market to grow the bigger sjw portion.

  3. Re:When you're competing with PewDiePie... on Netflix's Biggest Competition Isn't Sleep -- It's YouTube (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Now days he's a cynical old man who craps on everything. Much more like a late night talk show host, except focused on internet related things instead of politics and celebrities. Its actually fairly entertaining.

  4. It's also poisonous... on Bill Nye: We Are Not Going To Live on Mars, Let Alone Turn It Into Earth (usatoday.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Aside from being cold, barren, and lacking an atmosphere... The place is covered in chemicals that are hazardous to humans. How many people would go to Antarctica if the snow was made of perchlorates.

  5. Re:The CEO of US Capitalism. on Facebook Now Faces a Massive Backlash. But Will Anything Change? (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    You realize it's been this way since... Forever. That's just how all non private business act. The ones that don't either go under or the shareholders assign new leadership that will.

  6. Or throw the nozzle away after each one, they're dirt cheap. While youre at it, adjust the acceleration settings to make sure they dont try to trace you from the wobble.... Not that it matters. The things are terrible guns lol. A mini crossbow from amazon is probably better.

  7. I went though the prompts on one .. on Number of Robocalls Placed in the US Surged By 50 Percent in the First Half of This Year (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    I got got irritated and wanted to waste their time too. I got an English speaking person with no accent. They sounded like a US citizen. That's what bothered me the most. This crap should be shut down by now.

  8. An ounce of prevention... on Facebook Is Not Protecting Content Moderators From Mental Trauma, Lawsuit Claims (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe just inform the people before they upload videos that all videos are subject to review and illegal content will be submitted to law enforcement after which Facebook will do everything in their power to help prosecute you. Sure that will reduce the number of people caught doing bad things, but that's not Facebook's problem. They're under no obligation to police people.

  9. Re:To limit RFI? on Tourism is Compromising the World's Largest Telescope (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    They should just have a detector on the busses that warns if a cell is broadcasting. Don't start rolling until the warning light goes off.... How hard is that?

  10. Re:Another judge legislating from the bench on Federal Judge Rules Against Trump Administration on 3-D Gun Blueprint Case (latimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Its completely legal to manufacture guns... You can't sell them, but you can make them all you want.

  11. Re:Seriously? on Magic Leap is a Tragic Heap, Says Oculus Cofounder (palmerluckey.com) · · Score: 1

    To be fair his final product was pretty good and delivered on the hype. There's still a lack of content, but the headset is great.

  12. Nope. Its better than 8 and 8.1 lol. Still not as good as 95 - 7 though lol.

  13. Re:Something I've always wondered on Vitamin D, the Sunshine Supplement, Has Shadowy Money Behind It (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    The way they've been pushing calcium is a bigger problem. It builds plaque in your arteries. Taking D increases absorption of it. That's about the only risk with it. Getting too much calcium.

  14. Maybe youre wrong and Silicon Valley is right. on Is Facebook Ignoring Our Humanity? (qz.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Maybe our modern society places too much emphasis on the individual. Maybe that's why we have a society full of selfish pricks who all think they're the center of the universe.

  15. Re:Scratch resistance? on Samsung's 'Unbreakable' OLED Display Gets Certified (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    My first thought was... Im going to put a tempered glass screen protector on it lol.

  16. Why is there so much focus on Soy? on Impossible Burgers' Key, Bloody Ingredient Wins FDA Approval (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I may have a bit of a conflict of interest here since I'm allergic to soy, but its one of the most common food allergies. I wish the food industry would stop their obsession with it. They put it in literally everything now days and the FDA says they dont even have to put it on the allergy list if they only use lecithin or the oil which is some BS because it still makes us sick.

  17. Re:Going about it backwards? on Student Engineers Build Hyperloop Test Pods That Set a New Speed Record (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    How would you moderate acceleration? You'd need a larger diameter tube to allow the excess air to bypass the pod otherwise it would be like being fired out of an air rifle.

  18. Re:I don't agree with Trump about much... on Trump Slams EU Over $5 Billion Fine on Google (reuters.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Credit unions are required to charge an opening fee of some sort. You have to buy in.

  19. Re:Professional "training" is all show on Surgical Robots Cut Training Time Down From 80 Sessions To 30 Minutes (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Ive had pretty good luck with doctors listening to me and running the tests I ask for. The trick is to ask leading questions that gets them to come to the conclusion you want instead of just telling them how it is. That only works if its within their knowledge range though. Most doctors stick to what they know and try to fit everything into that box. You need someone passionate about their job that expands their knowledge so its at least a big box.

  20. Re:How about nope ? on MoviePass' New Business Plan Is To Charge You Whatever It Wants (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Here they've gone to reclining pleather loungers with assigned numbers. Solves some of the problem but ticket prices went up a lil and stuff is sold out If you try to buy at the box office... So you have to buy online where you're charged and additional fee.

  21. Re:Sorry, but... on 'Why You Should Not Use Google Cloud' (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    I work in banking and we host almost everything internal for security reasons and also for because of the same crap the OP is talking about. Its getting harder and harder to stay that way though. So many services you need to remain competitive these days are being offered cloud only now. Its BS!

  22. Anyone taking bets on how many people get fired and how much their stock price is affected?

  23. Re:Just Don't Sign it. on Nvidia Looks To Gag Journalists With Multi-Year Blanket NDAs (hardocp.com) · · Score: 2

    If you don't sign you don't get a card to review. You have to wait until you can order one online like a pleb. Video cards are often paper launches. Could be months after release before you get your review out.

  24. Educating others about your condition on Man Reports PillCam Stuck In His Gut For Over 12 Weeks · · Score: 1

    Ive got EOE as well as a ton of food allergies that sorta came out of nowhere. Kinda guessing maybe lupus. The doctors are clueless and dont really care beyond treating symptoms. Anyhow, I've never understood wanting to educate others about what I have. I have it, they don't. Its not relevant to them. They're not likely to be affected in their life by it. Its just my problem, not societies. Nothing against the author. Just thinking out loud and wondering about the thought processes of others.

  25. Its a dangerous job. Take it or leave it.
