  1. two axes: improving the hardware, as well as building in additional software and services. The company seems especially proud of the latter, specifically what it calls Sure Sense

    They are proud of their bloatware

  2. you read it right – GNU GPL v3 on GNU GPLv3 At the Heart of the Black Hole Image (www.tfir.io) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    you read it right – GNU GPL v3

    Why is it remarkable? Is it because it is weird since the G of GPL already means GNU?

  3. How to identify unvaccinated people on New York City Orders Mandatory Measles Vaccinations in Brooklyn (providencejournal.com) · · Score: 1

    How do they identify unvaccinated people? It is quite easy to produce a fake medical certificate. Who will search if the doctor that signed it exists, and if it does, if he/she really signed that paper?

  4. Even from the employer point of view, 996 is probably a bad idea. Who can pretend to be productive for 12 hours in a row, 6 days a week? I take repetitive jobs aside, since it is obviously not what he is talking about.

  5. The question of Opera's business model puzzles me. How do they earn money?

  6. Migrate from what? on Apple Providing Free Data Migration With a Mac Purchase or Repair (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    Will they cover the data migration from my PDP 10 tapes for free?

  7. Larger sample on Remote Work Works, a New Google Study Finds (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Open source communities have been working efficiently for years while being scattered around the globe. Most do not even do meetings.

  8. Customer car target on Cringely Predicts: Professional Drivers With Drone Landing Platforms (cringely.com) · · Score: 1

    And what about using the customer's car rooftop as landing station?

  9. Traditional unemployment benefit on Finland's Basic Income Experiment Shows Recipients Are Happier and More Secure (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    What are the strings attached to "traditional" unemployment benefit in Finland?

  10. Biological markers on Alzheimer's Disease Affects 'Twice As Many People' As Experts Thought (nypost.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If you can live with the disease biological marker and without the disease, it means the biological marker does not tells us much about the disease.

  11. Open but not frzz on Goldman Sachs Will Open-Source Some Of Its Trading Software (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Goldman will own the resulting intellectual property

    This is non-free opensource, obviously.

  12. Proven software makes assumptions on compiler and hardware sanity. This will be exploited through stuff like RowHammer, Spectre, or Meltdown.

  13. Who writes down the loss? on Boeing Delays 737 Max Software Fix (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Who will write down the loss the 150 flight per day canceled for months. I assume airlines are insured for that risk, but still, the cost will be close to the billion USD.

  14. They really had a 20% margin to spare, or this is an April fool's joke?

  15. No burnout sick day in France on Are We Experiencing a Burnout Epidemic? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    But other countries including France, Denmark and Sweden, do recognize burnout syndrome and consider it to be a legitimate reason to take a sick day from work

    Can you actually read TFA? For France, "No of subjects with acknowledged burnout syndrome (yr)" and "No of compensated subjects (yr)" is just one single person for 2015.

  16. Fear of regulator on Mark Zuckerberg Wants The Government To Help Police Internet Content (bbc.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Zuckerberg calling government for help? He must fear a FTC investigation.

  17. Today it gets hard to distinguish fundamental physics and April fools' jokes.

  18. Modern Labor takes 15 percent of their salary for the next two years. For example, if they find a job that pays $80,000, they'll pay Modern Labor $24,000 over two years.

    Is it just me, or is this more 30% than 15%?

  19. Who is next? on India Shoots Down Satellite in Test (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Who will be the next leader stupid enough to test how much space debris can be added? Emmanuel Macron? Theresa May? Benjamin Netanyahu? Shinz Abe?

  20. $300 per year in fines, and then just ignore it

    Perhaps it will be taken into account if one day they renew the cashout system.

  21. [ASUS notes] that the malware targeted a "very small and specific user group." It's believed to be an Advanced Persistent Threat

    What a good news for the infected users! Now their GPU and hard disk firmware are probably compromised as well, making sure that ASUS' update will not wipe attacker presence out of the machine.

  22. MRI is not sleep-friendly on We Transition Between 19 Different Brain Phases When Sleeping, Study Finds (newatlas.com) · · Score: 2

    TFA says "no subjects were found to enter REM sleep". This is not a surprise given the insane noise produced by MRI scanners.

  23. Re:Frame of reference on Fermi Satellite Clocks Pulsar Going 2.5 Million Miles Per Hour (upi.com) · · Score: 1

    Its speed is relative to what?

    Odds are good that it is against geocentric or heliocentric frame of reference, the paper will tell that. However if you are looking for an absolute frame of reference, CMB is there to help.

  24. Re:This could make possible a new type of virus on Microsoft Boots Up the First 'DNA Drive' For Storing Data (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    My understanding is that not all cells are affected. Influenza mostly strikes on your lungs or bowels. And affected cells die and are replaced.

  25. AI do not have faith on Many People Think AI Could Make Better Policy Decisions Than Politicians (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    AI would surely outperform flesh politicians because it does not have faith. It would easily figure most of EU treaties should be dumped, so that economical policies different than austerity could be tried. It could also give up on the Euro.
