  1. Re: old news on Bitcoin Drops Below $6,000, An 8-Month Low (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Watch for the volume to go way up, but not spike the price overly much, then the volume will trend down, and then shortly after the volume stabilizes at a low volume (relatively low) the price will begin to plummet. Anyway, that's what "My Gut"(TM) says.

    Not too late. This is normal behavior. As they say: "Wait for it! Wait for it!" ;-)

    Just give it some time, i'll drop again.

    And I guess I must ask, why will you be dropping again? And dropping how (or what)?

  3. Going further down soon on Bitcoin Drops Below $6,000, An 8-Month Low (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    My guess is that within the next 5 days (maybe as many as 15, but probably closer to 5) it will go back down to between $5000 and $5500, basing it off of the unscientific theory of what my gut says.

    So this means that all you peeps that want to get in and HODL at a lower price will have your chance.

    Let the games begin!

  4. Streaming is crap... on Google Is Planning a Game Platform That Could Take On Xbox and PlayStation (kotaku.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    From what I've seen of streaming (at least on the PS4 for via PS Now) is that it is totally crap. I like my games to look decent, and to actually respond quickly. I'm not on a crappy connection or anything like that, but the compression of the video, and the overall gameplay was a total turnoff for me. And I wasn't even trying to play a newish game, it was something that I was feeling nostalgic for from the PS3.

    Perhaps someone else is doing it better, but there are still a bunch of hurdles in my mind to overcome to make it work well.

    For now, I'll pass.

    Thanks.

  5. Free advertising for hacker group on What's Up With ProtonMail Outages? (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Great, all this does is provide advertising for people that will want to contract for their "new and improved" DDoS service.. Nice.

  6. Best way to diagnose? on WHO Gaming Disorder Listing a 'Moral Panic', Say Experts (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Just ask the people that are around them. I would have been diagnosed as addicted at one point in time. All of my free time was spent in front of the PC playing some stupid MMO or another. I ate my meals there, I waved at the fam on my way through the house after work as I settled myself in front of the computer, I pretty much didn't do much else. I've since learned techniques to solve my MMO addiction, but unfortunately those techniques bleed over into everything else where I find it hard to be interested in much of anything for very long (that's good and bad). Anyway, family and friends know when a person is addicted (granted, like anything else, some will be diagnosed as such when really they aren't quite there yet).

  7. Additionally, the GrayKey has built in future capabilities that will begin to be leveraged as time goes on

    Holy Crap! Should invest in those guys because they are from the future, so much so they have built in capabilities for bugs and security features that don't exist yet! So sweet! (Other than that, sounds like marketing on GrayShift's part)

  8. Would it cost them less to just stop serving EU? on Google Facing Billions in EU Antitrust Fines (axios.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    With a $2.8B fine, and another that could be higher, would it just be more profitable to stay away from the EU where they appear to keep their economy afloat via litigation (gross overgeneralization, but you know what I mean)?

  9. Prove without a doubt it IS man made... on Judge Orders EPA To Produce Science Behind Pruitt's Climate Claims (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    So, let's not prove the negative, lets prove it is man made. I don't think that's possible. We've had as much success with our climate models as we have of finally eradicating cancer. Lots and lots of research, but nothing that even comes close. When you have thousands of models, and thousands of different results, seems that there is something that points more toward uncertainty than certainty in the models. Is it likely that man is causing SOME warming? Without a doubt. How much? Cannot be proven, nor disproved.

  12. Re:Sounds good. on Netflix, Amazon, and Major Studios Try To Shut Down $20-Per-Month TV Service (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Stealing their content and distributing it for free, and any other means of damaging them, their profits, and their systems of control until they go bankrupt is the only way things will ever get better.

    So, if we keep raiding your bank account, that will make things better for you? Sounds like a good plan.

    According to your plan above ALL content makers should be bankrupt, so we actually will only have the crap that someone makes for their YouTube channel, but only if they aren't making TOO much profit on it, at that point then their stuff should be stolen and distributed in such a way as to not make them any money.

    Totally sounds reasonable.

    You do realize, that there is no better, EVER, if there are no content makers, and nobody wants to be one because there is no motivation to do so, so congrats, you've destroyed an industry. What's next?

    Tell us something we didn't know. Didn't even give us anything interesting that they had "heard". Bah. Waste of a couple of seconds to skim that fluff piece.

  14. Very creative. I like this one. Would mod up if I had points. For those that don't know that Nguyen is pronounced like "when" it wouldn't make sense. But "It hurts when I pee" is pretty funny.

  15. Why does it have to be a switch? on No More Intel Inside, Apple Plans To Use Its Own Custom-Built Chips in Mac (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    What if all they are really doing is adding some compatibility so that they can access an on board A series (A10, A11, whatever) processor that is placed into the mac (I'll call it the iOS processor)? At that point, they could have 100 percent complete compatibility for their iOS apps on Mac, without having to worry about writing emulators (not that they don't already have those), because the machine could run the iOS apps native on the iOS processor.

    Yes, Please, let those stupid fricking bitcoin miners start using something other than the top end of the consumer line so that regular people don't have to spend so damn much or wait so damn long to buy a decent video card.

    Now, what I really meant:

    Bitcoin miners should stop buying the fucking graphics cards all up so that I can buy one cheap. Assholes.

    That's an interesting question. The front screen is just the first hurdle, depending on what they are trying to get to. For apps that use secondary authentication methods (fingerprint, facial scanning, DNA testing (just kidding, that doesn't come out for another couple years), etc) I don't know that they can get past that to get to say your financial institution. Would be interesting to find out if those can also be bypassed.

    ...and then it will use it to determine how it is cracking the login, and then they will fix it, and the security will be even stronger for Apple. Sounds like a good deal. :P

  19. Trump Aligned on Mark Zuckerberg AWOL From Facebook's Data Leak Damage Control Session (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    That company is used by a TON of other companies and entities, just because they also happened to be employed by Trump at the time, doesn't mean that they haven't done the same for countless others, even people on the other side of the aisle. The blatant politicization of EVERYTHING is getting so fricking annoying. Soon every breath you take will be analyzed to see if it "leans to the left, or the right, politically speaking".

  20. Hell, if you can prohibit access to porn, why not other things that are considered unsavory? Like racist websites? Or your favorite website that shows you how to make a bomb? Or any other number of sites that are more dangerous in some other way. Or is this what the repeal of net neutrality allows? Either way, pretty stupid.

  21. Seriously? I couldn't give a rats ass what his "rejected" jokes look like. Is it in our best interest to know what jokes didn't make the cut? Do we ask for all 319 revisions of his speech as well so that we can make fun of the poor grammar and spelling mistakes? Seriously, this shit needs to not even make it on any new sites, legitimate or not. This kind of thing is meant for ONE reason only, and that is to cause more division between people. Just political bullshit.

    I have some family members that seem to be dragging the dregs of some site and pull up crap that is months and years old, as if it is relevant now. Would really like a way of showing my dislike for that old crap. I want NEW crap! If it's not warm, why bother! (Yes, there is some sarcasm here, but there is also the bitter truth that this does happen all the time)

  23. Re: Good. I could finally buy a new graphics card on Get Ready For Most Cryptocurrencies to Hit Zero, Goldman Says (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Excellent reply. I did look into some of what you've said, and you're right (about the power consumption). But I would say "to an extent". Perhaps the power consumption will eventually stabilize, depending on the price of bitcoins, and whether or not it is profitable on a particular day to spin up a piece of mining equipment. Regardless, I think the current consumption of bitcoin mining has the global consumption as equal to that of Singapore (or a couple of % of the entire US energy consumption). So, less than I thought, but still quite considerable.

    Thanks for your reasonable response. Would mod you up (were it not for the fact that I don't have mod points right now, and couldn't without wiping out my own comments).

    ...trade to [close to] zero means that there is no monetary reason to mine or process BC, so it very well could go all the the way to zero, or so close that it means nothing. if nobody is willing to spend the CPU cycles (and real world money for electricity) to confirm your BC transfers, did it really happen?
