  1. Reuben Garrett Lucius Goldberg on Amazon Is Working On Hot Air Balloon Drone That Approaches Homes Silently (slashgear.com) · · Score: 1

    Would be proud.

  2. Re:Pure Poettering inspired incompetence on Linux systemd Affected by Memory Corruption Vulnerabilities, No Patches Yet (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    These bugs are mindbogglingly stupid. Damn, I'm glad my systems are systemd free.

  3. I'm shocked to hear that, shocked I tell you.

  4. But what about the children?

  5. Re:I'm the cofounder of 3DFS, let's begin discussi on Can An 'OS For Electricity' Double the Efficiency of the Grid? (vox.com) · · Score: 1

    Making the web rounds about your product. I've had my say about it elsewhere.

  6. What is 'electricity'? on Can An 'OS For Electricity' Double the Efficiency of the Grid? (vox.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't know if it's possible to use more buzz words in a article. What exactly do you mean when you say 'electricity' in a supposedly scientific explanation of a process? We don't generate electricity, we use the existing electricity in matter to transform and/or transport electrical energy. The KE of 'current electricity' (usually electrons) is a loss factor in the transmission of electrical field energy but the VOX article mixes the two into a unrecognizable mess if you are looking for technical details.

  7. Old news with at least two audio tracks and no video clues.

  8. What is a Jay? on Uber's Self-Driving Cars Were Struggling Before Arizona Crash (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Contrary to popular belief, the term jaywalking does not derive from the shape of the letter âoeJâ (referencing the path a jaywalker might travel when crossing a road). Rather, it comes from the fact that âoeJayâ used to be a generic term for someone who was an idiot, dull, rube, unsophisticated, poor, or simpleton. More precisely, it was once a common term for âoecountry bumpkinsâ or âoehicksâ, usually seen incorrectly as inherently stupid by âoecityâ folk.

    Yes, Uber has not solved the "moron' human Jaywalking problem.

  9. The technology in the car worked. It didn't emergency brake, swerve, flip and kill the 'driver' while trying to avoid a jaywalking homeless drug addict.

  12. What is electricity? on Can Electricity Travel Through Space on Astrophysical Jets? (mdpi.com) · · Score: 1

    It's simply charge. Scientifically 'electricity' is more of a field of study today than a thing because in science electricity has many forms with 'current' and static electricity being only two.

    Electricity is not a form of energy.

  13. What is it? on GOP Memo Criticizing FBI Surveillance is Released (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    At first the memo was a Top Secret security nightmare if released.
    After release, it's a nothing burger of bogus conclusions.
