  1. I hope they continue development of that. With modern GPU it should be possible to do some really amazing real-time beat synced effects.

    or did they also avoid using words with more that 5 letters? #MAGA!

  5. Re:The cost of operating a coal fired power plant on The End of Coal Could Be Closer Than It Looks (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    If families are destroyed by automating mining, what do you call it when miners die of black lung disease, or die in mine explosions or cave-ins?

  6. The cost of operating a coal fired power plant on The End of Coal Could Be Closer Than It Looks (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    includes government subsidies. It may cost more to keep a coal plant running, but not if the feds give them tax incentives to keep burning the coal so that people in W Virginia who work in the mines will keep voting for Republicans.

  7. On first look, this seems very sensible. on California Bans Default Passwords on Any Internet-Connected Device (engadget.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I wonder what the unintended consequences will be.

    Dude! It's just a font. Get a life.

  9. Godel sounds like a real idiot.

  10. Actually, my post was entirely sarcastic. I don't believe primitive superstition in which the threat of eternal punishment by monsters is used to coerce specific behavior demanded by preachers. I stopped believing in monsters and Santa Claus when I was about 5 years old.

    Prayer has never accomplished anything. The computer on which you're typing superstitious nonsense and the network that brings it to my computer are the products of centuries of science, as are the farming techniques and medicines that keep you alive and relatively comfortable, and transport you and everything else by land, sea, and air.

  11. Nobel prizes for studying evolution? Evolution is the biggest conspiracy in so-called "science". Everyone with a brain and a bible knows the Earth was created 6000 years ago, and people and aminals were made by Gawd as they are now. "Fossils" are a Satanic hoax designed to shake our faith in Gawd (that's why there were no dinosaurs on the Ark).

    When the revolution is complete, the elites will all be put up against a wall, and we'll start a 1000 years of progress and prosperity.

    Pray for our glorius president!

    I guess we won't be hearing much about 3D printed guns any more.

    It's great! I work Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Having Tuesday off right after just one day of work is really nice, as is the 3 day weekend.

  16. the pee-pee tape, Trump will call it a deep fake and his followers will believe him.

    We've been heating plastics in microwave ovens for at least 2 generations now, and all the "reproductive harm" caused by the BPA is causing us to get dumber and dumber.

    C'mon, the "free market" fixes all problems, answers all needs, satisfies all hungers...

    Imagine how subscription rates would soar if one of the cell carriers advertised that automated crap-call blocking is part of their normal service. Pretty soon all the carriers would be blocking these calls.

    the low producers somewhere. May as well use them to keep obsolete stuff alive. Can you imagine working at MS and being in a department whose task is to keep Win 7 running? I wonder if they'll be putting suicide netting around the buildings like Foxconn did...

    Maybe that's how MS gets rid of people they decide are finished. Instead of firing them, they just put them to work on Win 7 and let nature take its course.

    If their system screws up and charges me for something I put back on the shelf how do we prove that I didn't take the item? How do they legally prove that I did take it?

  22. Re:Bitcoin will be the stake on The Bitcoin Boom Reaches a Canadian Ghost Town (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Let's say I'm sick. I get paid for last week's work in BTC, but can't make the exchange immediately. I am stuck holding the BTC for a couple weeks while I recover. I try to cash out and discover that my BTC is now worth half of what it was when I was working.

    Would you accept that? I sure wouldn't. They can gamble with someone else's money, not mine.

    If I were living and working in the US, I wouldn't accept French currency for my pay. I want $. Why would anyone accept anything but the currency they need to live? I can understand accepting payment in another country's currency if you're in a country with a failing economy. Give me some other major currency, not BTC.

    BTC isn't money.

    I bailed when a mildly technical post I made with regards to fan nozzles for cooling prints in 3D printers generated a lot of insults and animosity. There were plenty of good people asking useful questions, but too many "my dad designed jet engines for Boeing and he said that what you're saying is impossible" childishness and name calling.
