  1. Real war conditions on Russia Jammed GPS During Major NATO Military Exercise With US Troops (cnn.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Sounds like what will really happen in a conflict.

  2. Moles on Intel Has Killed off the 10nm Process, Report Says (semiaccurate.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    I find it hard to take any article seriously that uses the word "moles" multiple times that isn't discussing a skin issue.

  3. "but found that all the data logs of the affected wallets had been erased, leaving no trails about where the bitcoins were transferred."

    I thought the whole point of bitcoin was that every transfer ever is logged and public. You might not know who controls a wallet, but you know what every wallet is doing or owns.

  4. Good ol' days on Ask Slashdot: Were Developments In Technology More Exciting 30 Years Ago? · · Score: 1

    I too miss the incremental upgrades of the 80's from 300 bps to 600 bps modems.

    The FBI is saying that the public law enforcement need justifies weakening already strong encryption.

    Though others will disagree that encryption should be anything but the strongest available.

  8. Does anyone really think they will be taking a driverless taxi/uber anywhere before 2025?

  9. About the time of robo-dialing.

  10. It is now common practice to do a full memory reset just before any standardized examination.

  12. Re:Wait you mean an ASIC is fast? Why I never! on Google's Custom Machine Learning Chips Are 15-30x Faster Than GPUs and CPUs (pcworld.com) · · Score: 2

    There is a reason that all of the Bitcoin miners are ASIC based now.

    Don't expect those machines do be able to do anything else though if bitcoin dies off.

  13. If you had short it at the IPO price of $17, you would have lost your shirt worse than the The Duke brothers in Trading Places.

  17. I think anyone that still reads the WSJ in print was not the market audience for the Note 7.

  18. Anytime you buy a cable somewhere besides monoprice, you are probably messing up.

  19. It takes courage to remove and industry standard port just to replace it with a proprietary one.

  20. Low power display on Interviews: Ask Raspberry Pi Founder and CEO Eben Upton a Question · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What are the challenges in bringing a lower power display (e-ink or otherwise) to market?

  21. Uniformity or individually tailored? on Wisconsin's Prison-Sentencing Algorithm Challenged in Court (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Do you want uniformity or individually tailored sentences for criminals? You can't have both.

  22. Headphone jack on Apple Unlikely to Make Big Changes for Next iPhone · · Score: 1

    I have had an Iphone since the 3G model, but if they remove the headphone jack I will consider an Android.

  23. Re:Economics on How The FAA Shot Down 'Uber For Planes' (fee.org) · · Score: 1

    Of course the issue is safety.

    To fly your yourself and your friends around, you need a visual flight rules private pilot's license that may only involve 40 hours of flight time.

    To fly for compensation, you need a commercial license that requires A LOT more training.

  24. Re:third party? on US Court Says No Warrant Needed For Cellphone Location Data (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    In this type of analysis, the person being charged is the "1st" party and the police is the "2nd" party. Anyone else is a "3rd" party.

  25. Is this "confirmed"? Who wants this? I really don't want to add headphones to the list of things I need to plug in.
